The headquarters of the Elder Council, formed by the four great God-General families, was located in the center of Starry Sky City.
Long Xiaoyun and Yun Tian brought Gu Changsheng and the others here. Both of them were members of the Elder Council, so they naturally had unobstructed passage and didn't encounter any of those 'dog eyes looking down on people' roadblocks.
It was a joke. Long Xiaoyun and Yun Tian were both peak-stage Saint cultivators. Who would dare to stop them? And those stronger than them were their elders. Would they make things difficult for their own people? There were no fools in the cultivation world.
However, an old man sitting in the Elder Hall at this time noticed Gu Xinfei.
With a flash, the old man appeared in front of them. He looked at Gu Xinfei and said in a deep voice, "Gu Xinfei, you should be stationed at Hundred Leaves Star at this time. How dare you abandon your post without permission? Do you know what the punishment should be?"
Before Gu Xinfei could speak, Gu Changsheng looked at Long Xiaoyun and Yun Tian and asked, "Didn't you... send back the news of my arrival?"
"Uh..."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on their faces.
Yun Tian said with a wry smile, "That... Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, we were too excited when we learned that you were still alive and forgot about it. Please forgive us."
Then Yun Tian said to the old man, "Senior Liu, this is His Majesty the Holy Emperor!"
"His Majesty the Holy Emperor?" Liu Yunyi took a closer look. As a member of the four great God-General families with more seniority than Yun Tian, he naturally recognized Gu Changsheng. At this sight, Liu Yunyi's legs trembled. Just as he was about to kneel, he was supported by a gentle force.
"Go and call all the experts above the Saint realm here," Gu Changsheng said.
"Yes!"
Liu Yunyi suppressed the excitement in his heart and responded loudly, scaring Long Xiaoyun and Yun Tian beside him. Was it really necessary?
They didn't know that among the four great God-General families, the older the generation, the deeper their reverence for His Majesty the Holy Emperor, because they were closer to that era.
"Dang!" "Dang!" "Dang!"
At this moment, three melodious bell sounds resounded through the clouds, the aftersound flowing and echoing between the heavens and the earth.
"The World-Shocking Bell, the World-Shocking Bell has rung!"
"Heavens, it actually rang three times. Could it be that the Dark Turmoil is about to descend again?"
As the three bell sounds recorded, countless living beings on Ancient Dao Star changed their expressions drastically, speculating about what had happened.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"
At this moment, under the firmament, one powerful aura after another streaked across the sky, heading rapidly towards Starry Sky City.
These powerful figures, the lowest of them were Saints, and the strongest had even reached the Quasi-Emperor realm.
They were very fast, and even some experts who were very far away from Starry Sky City did not hesitate to expend their foundations and use the Blood Escape Technique to rush on their way, because of the three bell sounds just now.
According to ancient records, the last time the three bell sounds rang in succession was during the Dark Turmoil that concerned the fate of all races in the universe hundreds of thousands of years ago. Since then, the Eight Great God-General families were directly reduced to four.
This time, the three bell sounds rang in succession again, which meant that a major event concerning the fate of all races in the universe had occurred. Under such circumstances, what did the loss of a little foundation matter?
"Rumble!"
The sound of breaking through the air constantly came from above Starry Sky City. Although they were very anxious in their hearts, after arriving at Starry Sky City, they also quickly restrained their own auras. Starry Sky City had many children, and they couldn't scare or hurt them. These were all the future of the human race.
The first to arrive were the four Quasi-Emperors. They came from the four great God-General families respectively. They usually sealed themselves in divine sources to reduce the consumption of their lifespans. Only when major events occurred would they be born.
The Liu family's Quasi-Emperor looked at Liu Yunyi and asked in a deep voice, "Yunyi, why did you ring the World-Shocking Bell, and three times at that? Has something major happened?"
"Ancestor, that's right, something major has happened, but..."
"But what? Where is the enemy? Let me go and destroy him!" At this moment, a dragon shadow fell, the dragon shadow disappeared, revealing a burly middle-aged man.
"Long Batian, can you not be so impulsive? The World-Shocking Bell rang three times, that is a major event concerning all races in the universe, is it something you can deal with?"
A delicate shout fell, and the Gu Xin family's Quasi-Emperor walked out, actually a female Quasi-Emperor.
"Gu Xinying, hmph, I won't lower myself to your level." Long Batian snorted coldly, but his eyes kept dodging when he looked at Gu Xinying, looking like there was a story there.
"Hehe, even if I strip naked, you wouldn't dare to do anything to me, coward." Gu Xinying looked at Long Batian with a look of disappointment.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're a woman, pay attention to your image." Long Batian's face turned red.
"Hehe!" Gu Xinying chuckled.
Liu Yunyi was anxious in his heart. Esteemed ancestors, esteemed grandmothers, can you pay attention to the occasion? It would be fine at other times, but His Majesty the Holy Emperor is watching.
"Yo, you came quickly. Are you arguing again?" At this moment, the Yun family's Quasi-Emperor arrived late, with a look of watching the show on his face. It seemed that everyone knew about Gu Xinying and Long Batian.
At this time, Gu Changsheng was drinking tea in the hall. Long Xiaoyun and the others next to him didn't sit down but were also on pins and needles. Esteemed ancestors, what are you doing? Can these words be said?
The few people quietly observed Gu Changsheng's expression and found that Gu Changsheng was drinking tea with a calm expression, and then commented that it was good tea, as if he didn't care about what the few Quasi-Emperor ancestors said before.
It seemed that His Majesty the Holy Emperor didn't care about these things, that's good.
Soon, other experts above the Saint realm came to the Elder Hall one after another. Gu Xinying and Long Batian calmed down. These people were their descendants, so they couldn't lose face in front of their descendants, could they?
"What exactly happened? Why did you ring the World-Shocking Bell three times to summon us?"
At this time, a Great Saint expert with a pale face asked.
"Old Yun, you are..." Liu Yunyi was stunned when he saw him. Was this still the Old Yun he knew?
"It's okay, I just lost a few realms." Old Yun waved his hand, not caring at all.
He had previously traveled to the other end of the planet, the farthest from Starry Sky City, the distance was more than hundreds of millions of miles, but in order to return to Starry Sky City as quickly as possible, he used the Blood Escape Technique three times, and his realm had fallen from the peak of the Great Saint to the third level of the Great Saint. If he used the Blood Escape Technique again, he would probably fall into a lower realm.
But he did not regret it because of this. The World-Shocking Bell rang three times, representing that a major event would happen. Not to mention the loss of realm, even if he died, what would it matter if he could solve the problem?
"I asked him to summon you here."
At this time, Gu Changsheng walked out, followed by Gu Xinfei and the other three and Snake Ji.
"You are..."
Everyone was stunned when they saw Gu Changsheng.
"In the center of your Elder Hall, there is a portrait of me. Although nearly a million years have passed, my appearance should not have changed, right?"
As soon as Gu Changsheng finished speaking, everyone, led by the four Quasi-Emperor experts, knelt down unanimously.
"We pay our respects to His Majesty the Holy Emperor."
Hundreds of experts above the Saint realm spoke in unison, their momentum like a rainbow, directly shattering the firmament, and the sound echoed on the huge ancient star.
They were all descendants of the four great God-Generals, and each family enshrined a portrait of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. In the center of the Elder Council's hall hung a portrait of His Majesty the Holy Emperor for future generations to admire day and night. Even if they forgot the faces of their relatives, it was impossible for them to forget the appearance of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
Standing in front of them at this moment was their infinitely revered Holy Emperor!
At this moment, the dragon of luck in the sky was even more solidified. It raised its head and let out a silent roar, and then prostrated in Gu Changsheng's direction.
