"Gu Nan… His astral world isn’t even at Realm Level yet, but he can already fight Fang Chaoyun. If we wait until he grows further…"
Duan Wenqi's expression didn’t look very good as he shook his head. "I'm afraid he’ll have already stepped into Unified Dao before the Dream Immortal returns.”
The Dream Immortal's return from the River of Ti was already set in stone. Although Duan Wenqi's prediction sounded a bit exaggerated, considering Gu Nan's terrifying advancent speed, it was actually quite hard to say.
But the always calm Lu Wen revealed a wry smile at this ti. "It's a little too late to say this now…"
"Why is it late?" A sinister expression flashed across Duan Wenqi's face. "As long as you’re willing to make a move, you can kill Gu Nan effortlessly, and it might even be possible to kill Xue Ren."
Existences on the level of the Thirteen Heavens were never for show. As long as they felt the need, they would definitely take action personally, just like the unreasonably overprotective Song Fei.
If Lu Wen launched a sneak attack without regard to his face, he’d have very high chances of killing Xue Ren, let alone Gu Nan.
"Say I kill them—then what?" Lu Wen asked rhetorically, "Song Fei could’ve killed Gu Nan that day, so why didn't he?"
Duan Wenqi stared blankly, and only then did he spit out a na with a bitter look on his face, "Rolensia…"
That’s right, the deterrent was none other than Rolensia. As long as Rolensia didn’t return to the World of Gods, Gu Nan would be a cup of poisonous wine—pleasant to drink, yet there was also a price for drinking it.
Rolensia's Divine Kingdom wasn’t on this side. In the worst case scenario, she could simply slaughter every inhabitant in one of the Thirteen Heavens and then leisurely run away. Who could stop her?
It was way too difficult to actually kill a Unified Dao powerhouse. The death of every Unified Dao existence was always after thousands of years of sches before finally succeeding in one fell swoop.
"But she has to go back sooner or later." A trace of coldness flashed through Duan Wenqi's eyes. "When she returns to that side, let's see who can still protect them."
……
Extre Sword Heaven.
When Gu Nan stepped onto this land again, a strange feeling suddenly arose for an instant, as if he was being watched.
He knew this definitely wasn’t a hallucination, and people really were watching him.
When inside his own Divine Kingdom, not even Unified Dao cultivators could always keep an eye on him, but once he left the Divine Kingdom, his whereabouts could no longer be hidden from the bigshots.
Gu Nan couldn't help shaking his head with a small chuckle. He didn't expect to enjoy Xue Ren's treatnt so early.
But such a feeling lasted only for an instant, because Xue Ren imdiately used the power of his astral world to place Gu Nan under his protection and hide him from the gazes of the outside world.
In the next second, Gu Nan entered Sword Sect in a single step, and his figure appeared at the top of Sword Sect's mountain, where Xue Ren and Rolensia were both already waiting.
In addition to them, Gu Nan also saw several acquaintances.
Daoist Lingyang was undoubtedly present, and the one sitting on the main seat was an unexpected person—Zi Luo Elder.
"Little Friend Gu Nan, we et again." Zi Luo Elder was still smiling, as if he was rely an amiable old man next door.
But Gu Nan knew that if his suspicions were correct, then this old man might actually be the founder of the Heaven-God Alliance and one of the first mbers.
Furthermore, if there was a position like the "President of the Heaven-God Alliance," then it would almost certainly belong to Zi Luo Elder.
The whole matter beca clearer in Gu Nan's mind.
Zi Luo Elder probably already awakened many years ago; it’s just that he never revealed himself to the public until now. It wasn’t until Rolensia was about to ascend that he truly walked into the lilight.
Perhaps without Gu Nan and Xue Ren, the one covering for Rolensia would be Zi Luo Elder himself.
Gu Nan greeted everyone individually and waited quietly under Xue Ren's guidance for the rest of the mbers to arrive.
A few more Star Rulers arrived soon after.
Gu Nan recognized these people’s identities. All of them were prestigious, powerful Star Rulers. Before today, Gu Nan never knew that they were also mbers of the Heaven-God Alliance.
The list he saw from Sylvia back then clearly only included so peripheral mbers, while the ones sitting here were the core mbers.
Gu Nan secretly counted. Excluding Rolensia, there were only eight Star Rulers in total here.
In other words, there were only eight core mbers of the Heaven-God Alliance from the Myriad Heavens’ side.
"Since everyone has arrived, let's get started," after everyone had arrived, Xue Ren opened his mouth.
He looked around, and his gaze finally landed on Rolensia. "Recently, two major events happened in the organization. I'm sure everyone is aware of them. One is Rolensia’s successful ascension to Unified Dao, and the other is—"
"The other is that we finally have a new core mber after 6,000 years?" A woman beside Gu Nan finished for Xue Ren while covering her mouth with a smile.
This woman was dressed in a luxurious lavender robe, appearing sowhat like a mature woman. Her every move carried a different kind of charm.
This was Immortal Empress Taisheng, the Star Ruler of Imperial Glory Heaven. Imperial Glory Heaven was an astral world with a classic kingdom of immortals governance system, where each generation’s Star Ruler would be decided by whoever inherited the throne. The competition among the royal heirs was even more intense than in Clear Profundity Realm.
Immortal Empress Taisheng looked at Gu Nan with a small smile. Naturally, everyone present knew what the latter had done the other day.
"That's right." Xue Ren coughed slightly. "Gu Nan helped considerably in Rolensia’s advancent and even made an enemy of Song Fei over this. I trust that no one has any objections with promoting him to core mber, right?”
The group of Star Rulers waved their hands and looked at Gu Nan with a little more kindness in their gazes.
Gu Nan nodded slightly. He knew all too well that having a major contribution was a must if he wanted to be truly accepted by the Heaven-God Alliance, while offending Song Fei an even better show of his loyalty.
If Zi Luo Elder was the founder of the Heaven-God Alliance, then the aning of this organization's existence was also obvious.
They were trying to build a super organization that spanned two worlds, cultivating Unified Dao experts who belonged to the organization!
Unified Dao figures’ relationships were linked in countless ways, but multiple Unified Dao powerhouses who belonged to the sa organization was sothing that had never been done before.
Sure enough, after Xue Ren finished speaking, Zi Luo Elder got up and announced, "Rolensia is going to return to that side eventually. This old man invited all of you here today because he wants to tell you sothing."
He looked around the circle. "After today, the Heaven-God Alliance will be exposed to the eyes of Unified Dao cultivators. If any of you feel like the Thirteen Heavens suspect your identity, then you might as well co along with us to the World of Gods for a while."
Once Rolensia left, the Thirteen Heavens would no longer have any scruples, and it would be very easy to deal with the rest of these people here.
Zi Luo Elder’s words made the crowd settle down at once.
They gradually sobered up from the excitent of Rolensia's ascension. The situation right now was definitely not considered a perfect conclusion, but rather a crisis.
But for everyone to abandon their astral worlds and run to the World of Gods by themselves…
The Thirteen Heavens might not lower themselves to the level of finding trouble for these people’s astral worlds, but there were plenty of people willing to throw stones when soone’s down.
The crowd fell into contemplation. Xue Ren was the first to take a stand, announcing with a light smile, "I'm definitely going to leave and lie low for a while."
"Ditto," this was Gu Nan.
Although they couldn't understand his words, his aning was clear. Daoist Lingyang followed, "I'm involved in too many matters, so I won't stay here and take risks."
The remaining few people were still hesitating, but Zi Luo Elder spoke up at that mont, "You all can still think about it for a while. But before we leave, this old man has to collect a little interest for a certain event."
