"Benefactor, are you the benefactor?" he asked, stepping forward under immense pressure.
"Well... I am your benefactor's father," Gu Changsheng said.
"..." The clan leader felt that this was an insult to their benefactor, but he looked at Gu Changsheng, then at the stone statue. Although there was some resemblance, they did not look exactly alike, so the other party should be the benefactor's father.
Some might ask, couldn't he be the benefactor's son?
Ha, what son would dare to be his own father's father?
Just as the clan leader didn't know how to address Gu Changsheng, Hou Tu said, "He is the Human Sovereign of the mortal realm. We are here to unify the human race in this world."
Hou Tu's tone was cold yet domineering, but for some reason, the Tuoba clan didn't feel offended. It was as if Hou Tu's words were exactly how things should be.
"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, can you shoot down those five battleships in the sky?"
At this moment, a childish voice rang out. The Tuoba clan leader's expression changed slightly as he looked at his six-year-old granddaughter and scolded, "Bei'er, go back."
Then, he said to Gu Changsheng, "Holy... Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, my granddaughter is ignorant. I hope Your Majesty will not blame her." Although the Tuoba clan leader still didn't believe Hou Tu's words, he wasn't stupid. One of the other party's followers was already a Supreme Realm expert. If he were to jump out and say something contrary now, then the end of the Tuoba clan would come even before the end of the world.
Hou Tu looked at Gu Changsheng and chuckled, "It seems that your title as the Human Sovereign is only limited to the mortal realm. Outside the mortal realm, your son's name is more effective."
Gu Changsheng rolled his eyes at her. This old woman still hadn't forgotten to mock his laziness. Fine, considering how concerned this old woman was about the human race, this Holy Emperor wouldn't haggle with her.
Mortal Realm!
The Tuoba clan leader had heard this term twice already.
Gu Changsheng waved his hand at the little girl named "Bei'er." Bei'er didn't seem afraid and ignored her grandfather's stern gaze, walking straight towards Gu Changsheng. Gu Changsheng crouched down, rubbed her little head, and asked, "How old are you, little girl?"
"Don't call me little girl!" Bei'er didn't seem to like people rubbing her hair or calling her little girl.
The Tuoba clan leader's eyes were filled with anxiety, but what could he do now? It was too late to do anything. Oh well, they would die anyway when the world collapsed. It made no difference whether they died sooner or later.
Gu Changsheng didn't know what the Tuoba clan leader was thinking. Bei'er's reaction amused him, so he asked, "Why can't I call you little girl?"
"Grandpa said that I'm not a three-year-old anymore. I'm already six years old this year and not a little girl anymore. I even went out with Uncle Mu to hunt a tiger demon. Can a little girl do that?" Bei'er said in her most childish voice.
"Hehe, an interesting little girl," Gu Changsheng said, rubbing Bei'er's hair again.
Bei'er looked displeased but didn't say anything.
"Why aren't you talking?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"I'm afraid that if I talk, I'll make you angry and bring disaster to our tribe," Bei'er said.
"Then why did you emphasize that I shouldn't call you little girl?" Gu Changsheng asked with a smile.
"Because I think you're a good person, but I'm the future saintess of the Tuoba clan, and I have to consider the overall situation, so I can't say anything to make you unhappy," Bei'er said.
"Little girl, learning the ways of adults at such a young age," Gu Changsheng said with a smile. Bei'er's words seemed contradictory, but they were actually very simple. Bei'er was born with the ability to sense the good and evil in others. She felt that Gu Changsheng had no ill intentions towards her, so she emphasized that Gu Changsheng shouldn't call her little girl. However, Bei'er had been raised as the clan's saintess since she was young. She had learned a little about the ways of adults through observation. She didn't want to make Gu Changsheng angry simply because she was shouldering the responsibility of the clan's saintess.
In short, this six-year-old girl was precocious!
"I want this child!"
At this moment, Hou Tu said domineeringly, not caring about the feelings of others.
"Hey, hey, you're making it sound like we're here to snatch people. Can you be a little more civilized?" Gu Changsheng said to Hou Tu.
But the next moment, Gu Changsheng was dumbfounded. He saw Bei'er walk up to Hou Tu and kneel down with a thud, saying, "Master is above, please accept Tuoba Bei'er's respect!" After saying that, Tuoba Bei'er kowtowed three times in quick succession, her movements attracting attention.
"..." Gu Changsheng!
"Haha, very good. From now on, you will be my, Hou Tu's, chief disciple." Hou Tu glanced at Gu Changsheng triumphantly. She wasn't snatching people; everyone was willing.
Hou Tu could see Tuoba Bei'er's talent at a glance. She had an Earth Spirit Body, which was most suitable for cultivating her Earth Law. She didn't expect to receive such a precious disciple on this trip to the Yuanyang Realm. She was overjoyed.
Gu Changsheng looked at Tuoba Bei'er and really wanted to say that she could have become his disciple, but Hou Tu was indeed the most suitable person to be her master.
"Bei'er, you want to shoot down those five battleships, right?" Hou Tu asked.
Tuoba Bei'er nodded and said, "Grandpa said that they are world plunderers. Any world they target will be plundered and then destroyed."
"World plunderers?" Hou Tu looked at Gu Changsheng in confusion. She was quite unfamiliar with this organization, after all, she had stayed in the Ancient God Clan's secret realm for eight chaotic eras. She knew almost nothing about the outside world, and even her knowledge of the human race came from frantically studying during this period.
"This, let me calculate!" Gu Changsheng rubbed his nose. He was also hearing about world plunderers for the first time. After all, he was only a million years old, still a young lad.
Hou Tu ignored Gu Changsheng and said to Tuoba Bei'er, "Alright, I didn't prepare any gifts, so I'll give you these five battleships as a gift."
After saying that, Hou Tu's figure flashed and she arrived before the five battleships that stretched across the sky and earth.
The five battleships extended countless invisible tentacles that were plundering the Yuanyang Realm's source crystal mines. Hou Tu frowned at the sight.
"Damn it!"
Hou Tu's voice was cold. Before she came, she wanted to conquer the human race of the Yuanyang Realm, and even unify the Yuanyang Realm by the way. It could be said that she had already regarded the Yuanyang Realm as belonging to the human race. Now, someone was plundering the human race's resources in front of her, Hou Tu could not tolerate it, even if Gu Changsheng could.
"Who is it?"
An Immortal King exuding a powerful aura appeared before Hou Tu, questioning her.
Hou Tu waved her jade hand, and with a "bang," the Immortal King exploded into a cloud of blood. Moreover, Hou Tu deliberately used her divine power to compress the aftermath of the explosion into a single point, which was then annihilated into nothingness, so as not to damage the battleship.
Hou Tu did not hide her intentions. Her sudden killing of an Immortal King was also sensed by many experts in the Yuanyang Realm.
"The heavens are answering, the heavens are answering!"
Someone shouted, believing that Hou Tu appeared because they had prayed to the heavens.
"The heavens my ass!"
Gu Changsheng curled his lips. If it came to defying the heavens, he was the number one person. He had never followed the will of heaven in his cultivation. Even when he became an emperor, he suppressed the way of heaven in the mortal world. Gu Changsheng had nothing but disdain for things like the way of heaven and the heavens above.
"Master is mighty!"
Tuoba Bei'er waved her fist happily. The Tuoba clan leader's eyes also lit up. Perhaps Bei'er's sudden master could really become the savior of the Yuanyang Realm?
...
