Gu Changsheng returned to the Tuoba tribe with the Divine Calculator, intending to find Houtu and tell her that he had found her a capable assistant, but Tuoba Beier approached him.
"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, Master said she is taking people to undergo the Immortal Ascension Tribulation. She asked me to show you something," Tuoba Beier said.
"What thing?" Gu Changsheng asked curiously.
"Here!"
Tuoba Beier raised her delicate middle finger at Gu Changsheng, even imitating Houtu's voice.
Gu Changsheng's face darkened, but seeing this little girl, he couldn't hold it against her. This old woman knew he wouldn't argue with Tuoba Beier, so she had Tuoba Beier relay the gesture.
Damn it!
Gu Changsheng cursed inwardly, but a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Beier, don't show this gesture to people casually in the future, understand?"
"When can I then?" Tuoba Beier asked.
"Hmm..." Gu Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "When you encounter heinous enemies."
"Oh, oh!" Tuoba Beier nodded. Then, she looked at the Divine Calculator behind Gu Changsheng and asked, "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, did you bring a beggar back from outside? Does he want food? I'll go get some!"
After saying that, before Gu Changsheng and the Divine Calculator could react, Tuoba Beier hurriedly ran back to her home, seemingly to really get food for the Divine Calculator.
The Divine Calculator was stunned. He was still in a daze because of Gu Changsheng, but now he was being treated as a beggar by a little girl. He was a dignified Immortal Emperor, a figure who shook the heavens and myriad realms. Yet, he was being treated as a beggar?
What a disgrace!
"Your attire does look like a beggar's indeed."
At this moment, Gu Changsheng added insult to injury, making the Divine Calculator extremely depressed. His Daoist robe did look a bit old, but it was an unparalleled treasure that had survived three Chaos Epoch tribulations without being completely destroyed. You can't just judge by appearances, can you? Unconvinced, the Divine Calculator told Gu Changsheng the origin of his Daoist robe.
But Gu Changsheng dismissed it with disdain, "Just this? Look at the clothes I'm wearing, woven from three thousand Great Daos. Have I told anyone about it?"
"..." Divine Calculator.
You're strong, you're right. I won't bother with you!
"Old beggar grandpa, here!"
At this moment, Tuoba Beier walked out briskly, holding a basin of food above her head, and placed it in front of the Divine Calculator.
"Old beggar grandpa, is this enough? If it's not enough, tell Beier, and Beier will get more," Tuoba Beier said, pointing to the food in the basin.
When Gu Changsheng saw this basin, his expression turned strange. The basin itself was fine, very clean, but using a basin to hold food always gave a feeling of feeding. He also knew that Tuoba Beier didn't mean it intentionally. Beier simply wanted to use a basin to hold more food for the Divine Calculator, because in Beier's eyes, the Divine Calculator was a beggar who came with His Majesty the Holy Emperor to beg, and she felt sorry for him, so she gave him more food, that's all.
The Divine Calculator also knew that Tuoba Beier was kind, but, first, he wasn't a beggar, and second, he couldn't eat the food in front of him. If he ate it, he would really become a beggar.
The Divine Calculator secretly glanced at Gu Changsheng. He had to eat this food, whether he wanted to or not. Just now, he had seen this little girl make an indecent and disrespectful gesture to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and he had heard clearly that it was her master who asked her to relay it. Although he didn't know who her master was, anyone who dared to make such an indecent and disrespectful gesture to a Chaos Controller must have considerable strength, and the most important thing was that she must have a good relationship with His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
But despite this, the little girl made such an indecent and disrespectful gesture to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, yet His Majesty the Holy Emperor smiled it off without blaming her, so the little girl's status was special.
In just a moment, many thoughts flashed through the Divine Calculator's mind. In the end, he believed that he had to eat this food. He could explain being mistaken for a beggar later, but if he offended the little girl by not eating, he might suffer in the future.
"Thank you!" The Divine Calculator squeezed out a smile that looked more like crying as he thanked Tuoba Beier.
Tuoba Beier thought that the Divine Calculator might have been too hungry because he hadn't eaten for too long, so his smile looked ugly. She felt even more pity for the Divine Calculator in her heart.
"You're welcome, old beggar grandpa. If it's not enough, I'll get you more," Tuoba Beier said.
"Enough, enough!"
The Divine Calculator hurriedly declined Tuoba Beier's kindness. If he really took more, it would solidify his reputation as a beggar. He didn't want to be called "Isn't that the beggar Divine Calculator?" in the future.
In the end, Gu Changsheng explained the Divine Calculator's identity to Tuoba Beier clearly.
"Oh, oh, so he's not a beggar. But why is the old grandpa eating so urgently like a beggar?" Tuoba Beier said.
The Divine Calculator's movements froze. He just wanted to finish eating quickly and then turn the page, but he didn't expect that he would overdo it?
Gu Changsheng also looked at the Divine Calculator speechlessly. If you're not a beggar, why are you eating so urgently? No one is forcing you to eat.
Since Houtu took Old Supreme and the others to become immortals, Gu Changsheng also felt bored, so he stayed in the Tuoba tribe.
Three months later, Houtu returned with Old Supreme and the others. At this time, everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles, and their bodies exuded an immortal aura. Obviously, they had all reached the realm of Immortal True Immortals. Reaching this realm, their lifespans were already as long as the heavens, and they no longer had to worry about lifespan.
"We thank Your Majesty the Holy Emperor for the grace of re-creation."
Old Supreme and the others knelt before Gu Changsheng, extremely devout.
At this time, Gu Changsheng was playing chess with the Divine Calculator. He waved his hand and said softly, "Why thank me? If you want to thank someone, thank our Lady Houtu."
"They have already expressed their gratitude to me."
At this time, Houtu, dressed in a red palace dress, walked over. When she saw the Divine Calculator playing chess with Gu Changsheng, her eyes narrowed. If she hadn't seen the Divine Calculator in person, she wouldn't have even sensed his existence.
"This old man is the Divine Calculator, greetings to Lady Houtu."
The Divine Calculator cupped his hands and saluted Houtu. He had personally seen Houtu take action, so he knew her strength. She was a genuine Dao-Breaking existence. However, he only learned during this time that Houtu was the actual manager of the current human race, which meant that Houtu was his immediate superior, so he naturally couldn't be rude.
Houtu nodded to the Divine Calculator, then said to Gu Changsheng, "You, this lousy chess player, are still dragging others to play chess?"
The Divine Calculator was ashamed. Houtu was right. During these three months, Gu Changsheng had indeed been dragging him to play chess. Gu Changsheng told him not to use the Heavenly Mystery Dao, but what about Gu Changsheng himself? He didn't know if he used it or not. Anyway, even if he did, he couldn't sense it with his strength.
"What, who said a lousy chess player can't play chess?" Gu Changsheng said.
"Hmph! You only know how to bully the weak with your strength. Do you have the ability to rely on your true skills?" Houtu said disdainfully.
"Isn't my strength my true skill?" Gu Changsheng chuckled.
Houtu didn't speak. When it came to strength, she admitted that she couldn't argue with Gu Changsheng.
"Hmph, lazybones!" Houtu snorted softly and turned to leave, to find her disciple Tuoba Beier. She hadn't seen this girl for three months, and she wondered if this lazybones would corrupt her.
The Divine Calculator was ashamed again. He felt that his immediate superior was not someone to be trifled with. She dared to argue with His Majesty the Holy Emperor. What else wouldn't she dare to do?
The next day, Houtu approached Gu Changsheng.
"What's going on with the World Plunderer Organization?" Houtu asked directly. Regarding the World Plunderer Organization, she was still only aware of its existence. She didn't know the deeper layers. She wanted to deduce it, but unfortunately, there was a force no weaker than her shielding the secrets of heaven, leaving her at a loss. Helpless, she could only find Gu Changsheng. She had a feeling that the World Plunderer Organization would be a stumbling block to her grand plan.
"I thought you wouldn't ask me because you were sulking," Gu Changsheng took out the small wine pot from his arms, signaling to Houtu if she wanted a drink. Houtu rolled her eyes at him, the meaning was already obvious.
Gu Changsheng muttered that if she didn't want it, then forget it, and then said, "The so-called World Plunderer Organization is an organization that enjoys plundering worlds. Of all the worlds they have targeted, only Yuanyang Realm has been lucky enough to escape so far, but it won't be long before they come again. But this time their ultimate goal is not Yuanyang Realm, but the Mortal World, or rather, the ultimate goal is your Twelve Ancestral Gods!"
"Is there such a thing?" Houtu's eyes turned cold. They dared to target their Ancient God Clan. The killing intent that had subsided in her heart for countless years surged again.
Gu Changsheng felt the killing intent on Houtu's body and struck, "With your current strength, if you face the World Plunderer Organization, there is no other way but defeat."
"Hmm?" Houtu looked at Gu Changsheng in confusion.
"Behind the World Plunderer Organization are Chaos Gods and Demons, and there are quite a few of them. Unless you break through to above Dao-Breaking, you will not be their opponent," Gu Changsheng said, then looked at Houtu. He wanted to see Houtu's reaction.
But Houtu was very calm. She didn't even ask Gu Changsheng to take action. She just asked, "How can I break through to the realm of Controller?"
"Primordial Violet Qi!"
Gu Changsheng said, "If I had met you earlier, I could have given you one, but unfortunately, I have already distributed them all, and they all have owners."
"Is there no other way?" Houtu asked.
Gu Changsheng was silent. Houtu just looked at him calmly, waiting for his words.
"Okay, there are two other paths. The first is to break open the Dao-Breaking shackles with absolute power and become a Controller. The second..."
"What is the second?" Houtu asked quickly.
"That is to unify the heavens and myriad realms, gather the luck of the heavens and myriad realms, and help you break through, but..."
"Okay, I choose this one!" Houtu said霸气.
"Hey, hey, don't toss around too much," Gu Changsheng regretted telling her a bit.
"Actually, there are still..."
"No need, I'll choose this path, I won't take any other paths." Before Gu Changsheng finished speaking, Houtu飘然 left.
Gu Changsheng was dumbfounded. He seemed to have said the wrong thing, right? Houtu originally wanted to unify the heavens and myriad realms, but now he told her that unifying the heavens and myriad realms could also break through the realm shackles. Wouldn't this further arouse her heart of conquest?
He hoped that the creatures of the heavens and myriad realms wouldn't blame him. He was really unintentional.
"Actually, you can also cultivate the Undying Scripture!" Gu Changsheng still said the last words, but Houtu went and returned.
"Do you have the Undying Scripture?" Houtu looked at him. She had naturally heard of the legend of the Undying Scripture.
Gu Changsheng nodded.
"Give it to me!"
"No!"
"I'm helping your human race unify the heavens and myriad realms. If I don't have merit, I have worked hard. Give it to me."
"..."
In the end, Gu Changsheng still passed the cultivation method of the Undying Scripture to Houtu.
"Thank you!"
After Houtu finished saying this sentence, she left.
"This old woman actually thanked me? Did I hear wrong?" Gu Changsheng was shocked. Houtu thanked him, that was really the first time ever.
"It seems that the Ancient God Clan's position in her heart is really unusual," Gu Changsheng sighed. In fact, the Ancient God Clan was like the human race to him for Houtu. Since he was the Holy Emperor of the Human Race, he was naturally happy to see the Human Race develop better and better.
"I wonder who this old woman will eventually marry? Who can withstand her after she has cultivated the Undying Scripture!" Gu Changsheng thought evilly.
