In these past two weeks, Hou Tu hadn't been idle. She was like an industrious emperor of the mortal world, issuing orders at the Gu family. She was happy, but Gu Wei was terrified every day because the Gu family's accumulation of 500,000 years was being consumed at an extremely rapid pace. Especially the immortal gold. In order to build a Sacred Emperor Hall, Hou Tu had used up all the immortal gold in the Gu family's inventory. This shocked everyone in the Gu family. At the same time, some members of the Gu family were pondering what relationship Hou Tu had with their ancestor. As a result, many people came to a startling conclusion: Hou Tu might be their ancestor's lover. Otherwise, why would she be allowed to squander resources like this?
Of course, these words couldn't be spoken aloud. Didn't they see how an immortal ancestor was once thrown out of the Desolate Heaven Star by their ancestor for saying the wrong thing?
In just seven days, Hou Tu built a magnificent Sacred Emperor Hall. The Sacred Emperor Hall stood above the Gu family, giving people a sense of suppressing the heavens.
Hou Tu looked at him with a smile and said, "Right now, this Sacred Emperor Hall is only at the level of an ordinary immortal artifact. This is because the time was too short. If you give me tens of thousands of years, I will definitely be able to forge it into an Immortal Emperor artifact. However, if you want to break through the scope of an immortal artifact, unless I imprint my own Great Dao into it and nurture it with my own Dao, it can only reach the Immortal Emperor artifact at most."
"But this Sacred Emperor Hall is built for you. If I nurture it with my own Great Dao, that wouldn't be good."
Hou Tu's meaning was obvious: the remaining steps were to be left to Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng looked at the Sacred Emperor Hall in the sky, speechless. He said, "I said, you can create immortal gold yourself, why do you have to use my Gu family's stock? Was it easy for my family to save up that little bit?"
Hou Tu's smile froze, and she looked at Gu Changsheng strangely.
"What are you looking at? I have a wife," Gu Changsheng said.
"You... it's really unreasonable for you to be so strong," Hou Tu complained. This person was not only thick-skinned, but also narcissistic, and even stingy. Wasn't it just using some immortal gold? Besides, you can also create immortal gold. It's as if I used some rare treasure. I'm so angry.
Hou Tu discovered that ever since she met Gu Changsheng, her blood pressure, which hadn't fluctuated for countless years, had recently soared abnormally. If this were an ordinary person, their blood vessels would have burst and they would have died eight hundred times over.
I'm so angry.
"Look at it yourself!"
Hou Tu stormed off. Gu Changsheng watched her leave, shook his head, and muttered, "Such a bad temper. It's only because I'm generous. No wonder you've been single for countless years. There's a reason for it."
Hou Tu paused, then quickly quickened her pace, fearing that if she was any later, she wouldn't be able to resist attacking Gu Changsheng.
After Hou Tu left, Gu Changsheng turned his attention to the Sacred Emperor Hall. He naturally understood Hou Tu's intention in building this Sacred Emperor Hall. Hou Tu was carrying out his will to manage and even unify the human race. Then, no matter what, she had to borrow the name of his human Sacred Emperor. Otherwise, even if she was strong, the human race wouldn't submit to her. Sometimes, strength alone isn't enough to unify a race. Although the human race also had many tumors and parasites like the Qian Saint Ancestor, the human race had never lacked people who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the greater good.
In the human race millions of years ago, Gu Changsheng hadn't risen to prominence yet. At that time, the human race was weak, and it could even be said that they were at the mercy of all races. But so what? At that time, the human race didn't submit to the myriad races. If the human race at that time had expressed a desire to become a vassal of a powerful race, they wouldn't have had such a hard time. But no one chose to submit. The human race relied on this unyielding will to get to where they are today.
Hou Tu also knew this characteristic of the human race. So, even if she wanted to unify the human race in the mortal world, she needed to use Gu Changsheng's name as the human Sacred Emperor to proceed smoothly.
"She's just a girl, and she's working so hard. Am I being too lazy?"
"An immortal artifact is enough to suppress the mortal world, but it's far from enough to suppress the myriad heavens!"
As Gu Changsheng spoke, he flicked his finger at the Sacred Emperor Hall in the sky. A divine rainbow appeared and entered the Sacred Emperor Hall, merging with it.
"Hmm?"
Hou Tu, who hadn't gone far, felt something. She looked up at the Sacred Emperor Hall in the sky. Although the appearance and aura of the Sacred Emperor Hall hadn't changed, as the creator of the Sacred Emperor Hall, she could clearly sense the change in the essence of the Sacred Emperor Hall. Before long, the Sacred Emperor Hall would be able to surpass the immortal artifact and become comparable to her.
"He can create a Dao Breaking level existence with a flick of his hand. What realm has his strength reached? Controller? Impossible. Controllers can't do that either. An existence beyond the Controller. Is it the legendary Other Shore?"
Many thoughts flashed through Hou Tu's mind. She was extremely curious about Gu Changsheng's strength, but she didn't ask. She felt that asking about someone else's strength was an extremely unfriendly thing. In the cultivation world, many conflicts were caused by curiosity about other people's cultivation. As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. Hou Tu had only been resurrected for a short time, and she didn't want to die.
Then Hou Tu's face turned ugly.
"This guy, he's obviously so terrifyingly strong, so why is he so lazy? It's too unreasonable for such a lazy person to be so strong." Hou Tu was always bothered by Gu Changsheng's lazy attitude. If he could put in a little more effort, not to mention unifying the human race in the myriad heavens, even unifying the myriad heavens, or even unifying other chaos worlds, would be within reach. But this person was just lazy and had no ambition...
The more Hou Tu thought about it, the more distressed she became. To the point that when Gu Youxian, who had something to look for Gu Changsheng, saw her on the road, she didn't respond when he greeted her.
After Gu Youxian was snubbed, he muttered, "Could it be that Grandpa has offended Senior Hou Tu again? Forget it, I won't interfere in Grandpa's affairs." Gu Youxian quickly shook his head and extinguished the fire of gossip.
Gu Youxian looked at the Sacred Emperor Hall in the sky, a look of heartache on his face. Their Gu family's accumulation of 500,000 years was almost exhausted in these seven days. It was all to build the Sacred Emperor Hall in the sky. But thinking that the Sacred Emperor Hall would suppress the heavens in the future, Gu Youxian gritted his teeth and accepted it.
Everyone in the Gu family, except for Gu Changsheng, was excited about Hou Tu's plan. Gu Youxian was no exception. But he was still weak and couldn't help Senior Hou Tu much. He was also anxious, so he thought of asking Grandpa for help.
After Gu Youxian arrived at Gu Changsheng's courtyard, he found that Grandpa was indeed drinking, so he came in and greeted him respectfully.
"Youxian, what's the matter?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"Grandpa, I'm here this time to ask you to help me leave the mortal world and go to other worlds,"
Gu Youxian said.
"Oh? Why do you have this idea?" Gu Changsheng asked.
So Gu Youxian told him about his desire to help Senior Hou Tu unify the human race in the myriad heavens.
"Grandpa, I'm still at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm. Although my strength is comparable to ordinary Supreme realm experts, I'm still too weak. So I want to go to other worlds to train and increase my strength."
Gu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this. He understood Gu Youxian's meaning. Gu Youxian had sealed himself in divine source for too long, and his own Great Dao seemed out of sync with the Heavenly Dao of the mortal world. It would take hundreds of years to eliminate this gap. But obviously Gu Youxian couldn't wait. With his current strength, he could have already attained the Supreme realm in other worlds. He didn't want to waste hundreds of years.
Other worlds with complete Great Daos obviously wouldn't target someone with only Quasi-Emperor cultivation. Only worlds like the mortal world, where the origin of the Great Dao is lacking, would suppress cultivators so severely.
Gu Changsheng thought for a while and nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright."
After saying that, Gu Changsheng took Gu Youxian away from the mortal world and went to the world he wanted to go to.
Hou Tu sensed that these two, grandfather and grandson, had left the mortal world and snorted softly, "Lazy person, he actually pushed everything to me and took his grandson out to play. Hehe!"
