But the God Lord of the Central Divine Court didn't know that his every word and action was imprinted in the hearts of all living beings in the desolate land. He looked at God's Eye and the others with a cold expression, completely unaware that because of his few words, the faith of the beings in this land in the Qitian God Ancestor, this "Heaven," had begun to slowly collapse.
He didn't know, and Gu Changsheng wouldn't let him know.
"Are you saying that you regard us, the living beings of this land, as tools for the Qitian God Ancestor to harvest faith?" Facing the God Lord, this half-step controller, Ling Tian was unafraid and looked directly into the God Lord's eyes.
"So what? Do you think the three of you can overturn the heavens?" The God Lord sneered. To the desolate land, the Divine Court was an insurmountable peak, and he had been at the top of that peak for countless years, enjoying endless solitude. Now that three slightly larger ants had appeared, he naturally had to play the game of cat and mouse.
Hearing the God Lord's answer, Ling Tian's eyes trembled, and a murderous aura emanated from his body.
Ling Tian, God's Eye, and Ye Jin were different, at least in their mentality towards the Central Divine Court. God's Eye and Ye Jin had returned to the desolate land with Gu Changsheng. Perhaps they could no longer empathize with the living beings of this land at this moment. This wasn't because they were cold-blooded, but because they had experienced too much in the Chaos Burial World.
But Ling Tian was a native of this land. He changed his name to Ling Tian, meaning to trample the heaven that blinded the masses under his feet. He already knew from Gu Changsheng and Houtu that the Qitian God Ancestor regarded the beings of this land as tools for harvesting faith, but hearing it from the God Lord now, the experience was ultimately different.
Hearing it from Gu Changsheng, his teacher, he wouldn't show much emotional reaction because of their close relationship. But the God Lord was different, he was an enemy, and an irreconcilable one. Hearing it from a deadly enemy could directly ignite his killing intent.
The God Lord naturally felt the killing intent on Ling Tian's body, but he didn't care. He still chuckled coldly, "As expected of a variable, even when facing an enemy with much higher cultivation, you can remain unaffected. But a variable is still a variable, not a constant. No matter how talented you are, you must fall today and be eternally trapped in reincarnation!"
"Reincarnation? Do you even understand what reincarnation is?" Ling Tian shouted coldly, a look of disdain on his face. He knew that his Shiniang Houtu's reincarnation was at a critical moment, so when he heard the word reincarnation from the God Lord, he felt that the God Lord was insulting the word reincarnation.
"This kid is quite protective of his own!"
On the coast of the East Sea, inside the Holy Emperor Palace, Gu Changsheng was leisurely drinking wine, with Houtu sitting beside him. They were also watching a live broadcast.
"It seems you are very satisfied with him," Houtu said.
Gu Changsheng nodded, admitting it.
Although Ling Tian became his disciple halfway through, he was the only disciple who had no connection with him in either his past or present life.
Whether it was Hong Hong, Li Beifei, Gu Huaiyu, or his nominal disciples Lu Chengfeng and Duan Fei, their ability to become his disciples was all due to some kind of "kinship."
Hong Hong was a natural Dao body, the same physique as Yao Ji in Yao Xian's previous life. He encountered her as soon as he came out of the mountain, and it would be unreasonable not to take her as a disciple.
As for the rebellious disciple Li Beifei, the connection was even stronger. The rebellious disciple's previous life, Li Beichen, was his close friend. His friend was reincarnated, so shouldn't he take him as a disciple?
How many people racked their brains to get their friends to call them "godfather?"
Duan Fei's ability to become his nominal disciple was also largely due to his rebellious disciple.
And Gu Huaiyu was the reincarnation of his son's wife. If he didn't take her as a disciple, wouldn't he be hated to death by Gu Sheng?
Lu Chengfeng was also because of Gu Huaiyu's relationship.
It could be said that all the disciples he had taken in the past were related to him in some way, but Ling Tian was different. He was the son of destiny and the son of luck of the desolate land, with amazing talent. Even without him, he could break through the Dao in the future, and might even overthrow the Qitian God Ancestor, because Ling Tian's endurance was astonishing.
He was a Limit Immortal Emperor at less than ninety thousand years old, yet he was unknown. This showed how patient he was. For such a person, as long as he didn't expose himself, anything was possible in the future.
He took Ling Tian as his disciple partly because he could help him with his plan to avenge Houtu, but mostly because of his talent.
So Houtu was right, he was indeed very satisfied with Ling Tian.
Who wouldn't like a disciple who dared to "defy the heavens" for the sake of all living beings and respected his teacher?
"At least ten thousand times better than a certain rebellious disciple," Gu Changsheng said.
"Pfft!" Houtu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. In all the heavens and worlds, no, it could be said that in the three thousand Chaos Worlds, they were a rare pair of master and disciple who disliked each other so much.
"What are you laughing at? I'll beat him up when we get back," Gu Changsheng rubbed his hands. To be honest, he hadn't beaten his rebellious disciple in a long time, and now not only his hands were itchy, but his feet were too.
Hearing this, Houtu shook her head helplessly. Probably only Li Beifei's thick skin could withstand Gu Changsheng's "loving education."
On the Divine Court's side, the God Lord didn't know about Houtu. Hearing the mockery in Ling Tian's words, he just responded with a cold smile, "An ant dares to talk about reincarnation in front of me. Since you think I don't understand reincarnation, then I will personally send you to reincarnation."
The God Lord attacked, using an unparalleled great divine power, an supreme Dharma.
A divine light appeared, and the river of time manifested.
A Dao breaker had already gathered all of his timelines. To kill a Dao breaker, the most direct way was to sever the river of time and prevent him from escaping to other timelines.
"Rumble!"
The river of time was vast and boundless, flowing endlessly. Ling Tian only felt that he was bound to this moment, and it was impossible to use time.
Ling Tian was shocked. Was this the strength of a half-step controller? As expected, it had surpassed Dao breaking by too much. Even the fifth step of Dao breaking was difficult to resist in the face of such power.
It seemed that he still couldn't be complacent!
When the God Lord locked Ling Tian in this moment of time and space, he waved his hand, and a divine sword appeared above Ling Tian's head.
"This divine sword is the Law Enforcement Heavenly Sword bestowed upon me by the Qitian God Ancestor, representing the will of the Qitian God Ancestor. Since you are called Ling Tian, then I will use this Law Enforcement Heavenly Sword to execute you!"
"斩!" (斩 means Execute)
The God Lord shouted lightly, and the Law Enforcement Heavenly Sword slashed towards Ling Tian, accompanied by the suppression of the heavens and the great Dao, the void solidified. But Ling Tian's long hair fluttered, his face was calm, and he had no fear at all.
The beings of the desolate land watched this scene with great tension. For some reason, they hoped that Ling Tian would not die, but the chances seemed very slim!
"Rumble!"
With a earth-shattering bang, the picture came to an abrupt end.
The beings of the land were stunned. The picture disappeared. Could it be that Ling Tian and the others were dead?
Lingzhou, a blessed land for the human race.
Many human race experts felt extremely complicated at this moment. The words of the God Lord of the Central Divine Court were already very clear. The heaven they believed in was called the Qitian God Ancestor, and the Qitian God Ancestor was just using them as tools to harvest faith. Even their inability to break through the Immortal Emperor shackles was because the Qitian God Ancestor had placed a seal on the desolate land.
"There is no need to believe in such a heaven!"
A great power spoke slowly.
Where there is one being who no longer believes in heaven, there will be more.
Today is the day that faith collapses.
And this is the effect that Gu Changsheng needs.
"How is it?" Gu Changsheng looked at Houtu, with a look of 'praise me quickly'.
Houtu rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you put this effort into serious matters, the heavens and worlds would have been unified by you long ago."
"Uh... drink, drink!" Gu Changsheng raised his wine pot and poured a cup of wine for Houtu to cover up some embarrassment.
The God Lord of the Divine Court was staring blankly at everything in front of him!
"Impossible..."
