Chapter 1651: Chapter 444: Gu Chen’s Path (Three updates of 10,000 words, please subscribe!)

The return of the legendary figure, the unparalleled ruler of the Imperial Court, imdiately brought an unprecedented celebration to all 3,600 domains of the Upper Realm.

Especially when Gu Chen’s deeds began spreading, recounted by the elder generation, the younger generation of cultivators was utterly enthralled, treating him as their lifelong idol, just as they did in bygone days.

Upon seeing this, Bi Yu and Wu Tian couldn’t help but smile faintly, reminiscing about their own youthful days.

In the blink of an eye, ti had flowed onward, and so much had transpired.

The fervent celebrations lasted for a considerable amount of ti before finally subsiding.

But the story of the ruler of the Imperial Court would not cease; it continued to be told by countless people across the world.

Everything returned to its usual rhythm.

The ancient Imperial Court was reestablished, and naturally, all the forr cultivators once again returned.

At this mont, within the main hall of the Imperial Court, the forr high-ranking mbers of the Celestial Court, including two supre beings, were all kneeling before him.

Gu Chen sat at the head, upon the imperial throne that was most familiar to him. Below, on both sides, were seated Gu Qingyan, Bi Yu, Wu Tian, and Emperor Xia—the four supre beings.

“Great ruler of the Imperial Court, please forgive us,” pleaded the forr Celestial Court cultivators, led by the two supre beings, as they continued to bow repeatedly.

In truth, they were all driven by helplessness back then. After all, the Celestial Court wielded imnse power at the ti, and Pei Yi had fused with the Source of All Worlds, enforcing the creed of submission or destruction, leaving no one in the Upper Realm capable of defying him.

Even the elder Imperial Court cultivators loyal to Gu Chen had no choice but to endure humiliation in silence, hiding away and refraining from revealing the true history to their descendants.

Thus, Gu Chen, as well as Gu Qingyan, Bi Yu, Wu Tian, and Emperor Xia, bore no resentnt toward these people.

Especially Wu Tian, who had learned that the cultivators responsible for the extinction of the Golden Raven Clan had already been executed by Gu Chen. Naturally, he harbored no grudges anymore.

After all, Wu Tian was not one to revel in bloodshed. To him, as long as the perpetrators received due punishnt, that was sufficient.

Moreover, not long ago, he received a promise from Gu Chen: that one day, all the wrongfully slain mbers of the Golden Raven Clan would be resurrected. What dissatisfaction could he possibly have now?

Amid the unease of the forr Celestial Court cultivators, Gu Chen, seated upon the towering imperial throne, finally spoke: “From today onward, the Celestial Court shall cease to exist. You are now cultivators of the Ancient Imperial Court. Two millennia from now, when the Netherworld invades, you are to charge at the forefront. Do you have any objections?”

“We are willing!”

Hearing that Gu Chen had agreed to spare their lives, the forr Celestial Court mbers, including the two supre beings, were overwheld with relief and promptly shouted their consent.

Gu Chen nodded slightly and said, “If so, you may leave now.”

“Yes.”

The forr Celestial Court cultivators, now part of the Ancient Imperial Court’s ranks, quickly stood up and departed one after the other.

As for the celestial soldiers and generals who once served under them, those guilty of wrongdoing had already been executed, while the remaining ones required no further judgnt.

“Currently, even counting those two supre beings, our side only has six supre combatants. Isn’t that far too few?” Gu Qingyan voiced her concern.

At this mont, with Gu Chen present, her deanor was tranquil and serene, akin to a solitary and ethereal snow lotus atop the heavenly mountains—completely different from her previously imposing imperial presence.

Watching her, Bi Yu found himself utterly captivated, unable to extricate himself, even with his supre being-level fortitude.

Gu Chen shot him a glance without saying a word, then replied, “It matters not. We still have two thousand years. That is enough.”

Gu Qingyan and the others understood that Gu Chen’s remark referred to the Source of All Worlds and the Island of Origins. The combination of the two would indeed bring forth nurous formidable powerhouses in the Upper Realm within a short span.

However, after hesitating for a mont, Gu Qingyan still asked, “Brother, won’t the loss of the Source of All Worlds affect you in any way?”

Upon hearing this, Bi Yu, Wu Tian, and Emperor Xia all turned their gazes toward Gu Chen, concern evident in their eyes.

After all, Gu Chen was now the cornerstone of all the heavens and realms. While others could falter, he could not afford to have any issues.

Gu Chen shook his head lightly and replied, “It’s fine. I no longer need it. As I’ve said before, you can hold on to it and comprehend it for a thousand years.”

“Understood.”

Gu Qingyan and the others nodded, finally letting go of their concerns.

By now, Gu Chen’s path had diverged entirely from that of this cosmos of the heavens, rendering the Source of All Worlds useless to him.

Afterward, Gu Chen urged Gu Qingyan and the others to leave swiftly and make the most of their ti to comprehend the Source of All Worlds, so that they might elevate their cultivation further.

Once they left the main hall of the Ancient Imperial Court, Wu Tian and Emperor Xia exchanged glances with Gu Qingyan and Bi Yu before tactfully departing ahead of them.

As for the Source of All Worlds, Gu Chen had instructed them to study it jointly over the next millennium, but Wu Tian and Emperor Xia knew there was no rush just yet.

Bi Yu gazed at Gu Qingyan, standing so close to him. Her flawless jade-like countenance left him breathless. At this close proximity, he felt his heart pounding uncontrollably.

And the pounding grew only more intense. For all his imnse vigor as a supre being, his blood surged like an ocean. Ultimately, the sound of his heartbeat echoed externally, and with Gu Qingyan’s keen hearing, she could clearly discern it.
