Seven Absolutes glanced at Yun Shuang, who was still unconscious, and then voiced the question in her heart.
"Heavenly Tribulation?"
Gu Changsheng frowned, then retorted, "Do you think the Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm, devoid of emotions, isn't afraid of death? What level is it at, to dare send down a Heavenly Tribulation upon my daughter?"
Yun Shuang's situation was different from Gu Sheng's. Gu Sheng was a child born from his mortal journey, his fate still within the scope of the Heavenly Dao.
But Yun Shuang was a life born from the intertwined auras of him and Yun Wuyue.
Back then, he sought out Yun Wuyue to break through the shackles of the Immortal Emperor, meaning that at that time, he had already surpassed the Heavenly Dao, and his aura naturally surpassed the Heavenly Dao as well.
The Demon Realm was more vast than ordinary Great Worlds, and its Heavenly Dao was stronger than those of other worlds, but no matter how strong the Heavenly Dao was, it couldn't possibly control matters beyond the Dao Breaking stage.
The only thing that could send down a Heavenly Tribulation upon Yun Shuang was the Great Dao of Chaos.
But the Great Dao of Chaos…
That chubby kid should be clamoring for Little Xian to buy him candied haws from different worlds right now.
Seven Absolutes was momentarily speechless. Although she understood the reasons behind it, understanding why the princess's advancement to Demon Lord wouldn't trigger a Heavenly Tribulation, she inexplicably felt an urge to beat Gu Changsheng up.
Even if what he said was true, he was being too pretentious!
"You can't beat me, though."
Gu Changsheng smiled slightly.
"You're reading my mind?" Seven Absolutes' beautiful eyes widened.
Gu Changsheng shook his head and said, "Is there even a need for mind-reading? I've seen that look and expression on my rebellious disciple. He's always thinking about mastering the Sword Dao and making me kneel and shout 'Conquered!' Do you also want to beat me up?"
"I… I don't!" Seven Absolutes denied. How could she dare admit it?
"Hehe, don't worry, even if you do, I won't do anything to you. I just enjoy seeing people wanting to beat me up but being unable to. Being invincible, one has to have some wicked hobbies!"
Gu Changsheng sighed with emotion, looking like he was lonely and unmatched.
Seven Absolutes clenched her small fists. How old was this person, yet he still liked to show off like a young lad!
How could Her Majesty be fond of this type?
Seven Absolutes couldn't understand the reason.
Gu Changsheng was in a good mood, so he was in the mood to joke with Seven Absolutes. He felt Yun Shuang's cultivation stabilize in the Demon Lord realm, a smile on his face, and he took out his wine pot, opened it, and took a satisfying sip.
"Brother-in-law, you're still in the mood to drink? Now that the princess has advanced to Demon Lord, she'll wake up at any moment. What do you plan to say to her about being her father?"
Seven Absolutes looked at Gu Changsheng with a smile. Although she hadn't spent much time with Gu Changsheng, she knew that Gu Changsheng could treat other matters lightly as if nothing had happened, but when it came to Yun Shuang, Gu Changsheng would become somewhat helpless.
His tiptoeing around like a thief just now was the best proof.
Sure enough, Gu Changsheng's smile froze, and the wine pot stopped in mid-air. He glared at Seven Absolutes, this sister-in-law, why were her words so barbed?
Gu Changsheng's lips moved slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Yun Shuang woke up.
"Aunt Seven Absolutes… Eh, Senior Gu, you're still here?"
Yun Shuang landed on the ground, walking towards the two with surprise in her eyes.
After Gu Changsheng brought Yun Shuang back to the Demon Emperor Palace, Yun Shuang immediately entered this place to begin merging with the Demon Emperor Palace, assuming that Gu Changsheng had never left the Demon Realm, which was why she said "still here."
Gu Changsheng watched Yun Shuang walk over slowly, and as powerful as he was, he rarely felt like he was facing a strong enemy at the beginning of his cultivation.
Seven Absolutes watched with a smile on her face. She greeted Yun Shuang naturally, giving her a big hug.
"Congratulations, Princess, for not only taking control of the Demon Emperor Palace but also successfully entering the Demon Lord realm," Seven Absolutes said with a smile.
"Aunt Seven Absolutes, how many times have I told you? Just call me by my name. Why do you always call me Princess, it's too formal," Yun Shuang said with dissatisfaction.
Seven Absolutes just smiled but didn't say she would change her address, just like how Her Majesty once asked her to call her sister, but she still called her Majesty.
"Forget it, I'm ignoring you." Yun Shuang also knew that it was impossible to get Aunt Seven Absolutes to change her address, so she simply ignored it, as long as she didn't treat Aunt Seven Absolutes as an outsider.
"How long has it been?" Yun Shuang asked.
"Four thousand four hundred and thirty-one years, seven months, and eight days," Seven Absolutes said.
"That long?" Yun Shuang's expression changed. She was less than two hundred thousand years old and had been in the Immortal King realm since birth. She had never cultivated in seclusion. Even when she secretly left the Demon Realm and was chased into the Bronze Immortal Palace to hide for thirty thousand years, she still never cultivated in seclusion but instead ate, played, and slept.
Cultivating in seclusion for more than four thousand years was the longest period of seclusion she had ever experienced in her life.
"How is the situation in the Demon Realm now?" The first thing Yun Shuang cared about was the situation in the Demon Realm, which made Seven Absolutes feel very gratified. The princess had finally grown up.
"Please rest assured, Princess. Although those traitors are eyeing the Demon Emperor Palace covetously, they are all fighting their own battles, and no one dares to attack the Demon Emperor Palace rashly. However, most of the territory of the Dream God Domain has been occupied by those traitors."
Seven Absolutes' expression became extremely serious. Even though she knew that this was a game set up by Her Majesty to hone the princess, within the current Demon Realm, only the Dream God Domain was still under the control of the Demon Emperor Palace. Most of the other places had fallen into the hands of those traitorous Demon Lords.
Yiling City was only able to survive for the time being because of Yiling's existence.
"Damn it!" Yun Shuang's expression turned gloomy, but soon, she regained her composure. Now that she had not only broken through her cultivation but also taken control of the Demon Emperor Palace left behind by her mother, she was now invincible in the Demon Realm.
"Senior Gu, did you help me refine the Great Dao Golden Core in my body?" Yun Shuang asked.
"Yes!" Gu Changsheng nodded lightly, but hearing his daughter call him senior, he felt a burst of bitterness in his heart.
But who could he blame? If he hadn't been too lazy to deduce deeper, how would he not have known that Yun Shuang was his daughter?
He was the one who brought it upon himself, so he naturally had to bear it.
"Thank you so much, Senior. Not only did you give me such a precious treasure as the Great Dao Golden Core, but you also helped me refine it. I really don't know how to repay you."
Yun Shuang looked at Gu Changsheng gratefully.
Gu Changsheng touched his nose. The more Yun Shuang thanked him, the more he felt indebted.
Gu Changsheng thought about it and decided not to hide it anymore.
"Yun Shuang, do you know who your father is?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"I don't know." Yun Shuang shook her head.
Just as Gu Changsheng was about to speak, Yun Shuang continued, "I once asked my mother, and my mother said that my father had died long ago."
"…" Gu Changsheng.
Seven Absolutes, who was on the side, was trying hard not to laugh. She had said these words to Gu Changsheng before.
Let you run away ruthlessly back then? Leaving Her Majesty and the princess, this mother and daughter, without taking responsibility.
Obviously, Seven Absolutes didn't know Yun Shuang's true origins and thought that she was born from the union of Gu Changsheng and Yun Wuyue. It was no wonder that Seven Absolutes didn't give Gu Changsheng a good look. Such a heartless act of leaving offspring deserved a "scumbag" anywhere.
"Actually… I am your father, do you believe it?" Gu Changsheng directly stated it.
Gu Changsheng thought that Yun Shuang would not believe it and was already prepared to use great divine powers to let Yun Shuang know how she came into this world, but Yun Shuang's performance surprised him.
"I believe it!" Yun Shuang nodded.
"Why?" Gu Changsheng was stunned.
"Because I overheard Aunt Seven Absolutes' words just now," Yun Shuang said crisply.
"…"
…
