Chapter 1093: He was afraid
Gu Ce knew that if his true plans were discovered by others, he would definitely face a joint attack and destruction!
Even the phrase "touching the enemy's scales" is insufficient to describe his ambition.
Therefore, he had to hide himself, hide himself deep and securely, ensuring that his superior lord could not see anything, until his ambition truly found the opportunity and fertile ground to grow rapidly.
Now, the time has come.
Moreover, Gu Ce felt that he could even say he had a top-notch helper who was unique in the world and hard to find anywhere else!
Admittedly, he and Gu Heng are not exactly on the same path, but they share common interests, at least for now. Since they have the same interests, Gu Ce has no doubt about cooperating for mutual benefit.
However, this cooperation will soon turn sour. His strength is far inferior to that of the great enemy of the era, and the gap is probably difficult to narrow. Under this unequal strength, the weaker party will eventually become a fox borrowing the tiger's power, but that doesn't matter.
Anyway.
He knows his own limitations and has a sense of propriety; he's already received more than he could possibly ask for.
As for higher places?
Everyone is born with a predetermined destiny, and it is possible to forcibly defy fate and change one's destiny, but not everyone can truly defy fate and forcibly change their destiny.
most of the time.
The result of doing so is always a complete and utter destruction.
Gu Ce wasn't planning to shatter himself like this; since that was the case, his current height was already sufficient.
"I stole your luck for you, now what?"
Gu Heng asked.
"The play is over, and this capital city is probably going to turn into a battlefield soon. I'm a coward, and I don't want to stay in the eye of the storm."
He caused such a big commotion, and he still has some lingering effects left.
To be honest, it was quite exciting.
It wasn't as awkward as he had imagined; in fact, it was quite easy to get into the zone. Gu Heng hadn't expected that when he stood tall in the sky, he would feel a sense of naturalness, as if he was born to be this way.
As he looked down at the terrified guests below, and watched the two arrogant deities crumble like clay chickens and earthenware dogs under his blade, Gu Heng felt no ripples in his heart, only a sense of indifference as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
It's as if... he's done this countless times before.
Secondly, it's because it's fake.
But the fact that others cooperated with him in acting actually helped him regain some of his feeling.
That's really strange.
"Now, all we need to do is wait."
Gu Ce collected the fortune into a treasure bowl, his expression returning to its usual deep and calculating look.
"What you have done today will soon spread throughout the heavens and the myriad worlds. Each and every one of these things will be enough to make those shadowy figures in the dark move."
"Although the rebels in the Dark Realm are hiding in seclusion, they still have countless spies in the myriad worlds providing them with information. Soon they will know that the 'Great Enemy of the Epoch' has reappeared in the world, but they are always cautious and will never take any action easily."
"The rebels will continue to wait and see until they take the bait."
Gu Ce's analysis was very thorough and well-organized.
The rhythm seemed perfect, but Gu Ce obviously didn't mention anything else. After all, the goal was to lure out the rebels. What if he also lured out the enemies of other eras?
"What if, before they take the bait, those old enemies of the Great Enemy of the Epoch take it seriously and come knocking on our door?"
Gu Heng couldn't help but feel nervous.
However, Gu Ce just smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Are you sure nothing will happen?
Gu Heng wanted to ask more questions, but he suddenly felt a chill descend upon the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
"what happened?"
Xiao Bai's expression changed.
This is the undeniable aura of a powerful being!
The overwhelming pressure seemed poised to crush the Imperial Preceptor's residence completely; everyone could sense the fury emanating from that aura, though it was unclear who it was directed at…
"Please go back and rest, gentlemen. I still need to see His Majesty."
Gu Ce had an indifferent attitude.
"Are you serious?"
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
"Although I don't know much about the Myriad Dynasties civilization, you clearly tore apart the divine kingdom's fortune behind the back of the Azure Ancient God Lord. He probably wants to kill you."
"He won't."
Gu Ce sneered, "What he finds even more unacceptable than a national advisor who intends to overthrow his position as a divine ruler is being held back on his path to godhood, and then being left behind by the divine rulers of the other two divine kingdoms."
As he spoke, he lifted the precious bowl in his hand.
"Therefore, as long as you return this item to him, he won't pursue the matter further."
Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger, but he already knew his lord all too well.
That person doesn't care about anything.
All they care about is becoming a god.
This is true for every ruler of a dynasty who is qualified to access the authority of the gods. No one can resist the temptation to become a god, even if they know that in the end they may still end up with nothing.
Gu Ce had no objection to this, but unfortunately becoming a god was not the only way. There was another path that could allow one to rival the gods, but those rulers of dynasties had invested too much and could no longer change their minds or take another approach.
This was the perfect opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation.
……
The Ancient Divine Kingdom, deep within a secret realm.
Qinggu Divine Lord sat atop the palace, his gaze deep as he watched the divine kingdom's fortune, which was already mostly broken, slowly coalescing above the secret realm.
His face was slightly pale, but that couldn't hide the intense killing intent within!
"Your Majesty, I beg to see you."
Distant sounds came one after another.
"Come in."
The Ancient God Lord's expression was icy.
After a while.
Gu Ce slowly walked up to the palace and bowed slightly to Qing Gu Shenjun: "Your humble servant greets Your Majesty."
"Gu Ce, you did a great job."
The Azure Ancient God turned around, his face revealing neither joy nor anger. "You've split the fortune of your divine kingdom and used others to eliminate my divine kingdom's worshippers. It seems you intend to confront me directly?"
"My Lord, please calm your anger. It is all for the sake of the divine kingdom."
Gu Ce lowered his head and said.
"For the sake of the divine kingdom?"
Qinggu Divine Lord suddenly laughed, but the laughter didn't reach his eyes. "Gu Ce, I am not one to just loaf around and wait to die. Don't try to fob me off with such words."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the two corpses crashed down into the palace.
The still-warm corpses of Qingfeng and Qingren.
Gu Ce glanced at him silently, maintaining his inferior posture, and said nothing more.
"The manner in which they both died was quite horrifying to me."
"The Ancient God Lord said indifferently."
"Their meridians, dantian, and soul were intact, without even a trace of external injury. However, their cultivation, that vast and boundless cultivation, was forcibly stripped away by some higher-level power."
It's just like……
People are deprived of the right to walk; although they still have legs, they can no longer take a single step.
What method is this?
Killing can only be done with a nod of the head.
But this method is a thousand times more terrifying than murder!
"Did you, Grand Preceptor, do this, or did that guy you found pretending to be the enemy of the era do it?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ce's eyes subtly turned to surprise.
This doesn't feel right.
He looked up and stared directly at the expression on Qinggu God Lord's face, only to discover that this god lord, who never showed his emotions, was now revealing a hint of fear!
As expected, the God was afraid!
