Your Majesty, the Holy Emperor?
Gu Sheng was shocked. Someone had approached him silently.
Gu Sheng looked towards the large hand grabbing his arm. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and his expression drastically changed.
"Saint, long time no see!"
Gu Changsheng chuckled softly, releasing Gu Sheng's arm.
"You… You are Father?"
Gu Sheng didn't know why he subconsciously used an honorific. In his memory, his father had already passed away when he was three years old. How much could a three-year-old remember about his father's face and voice?
But blood is thicker than water. The feeling from bloodlines wouldn't be wrong. Gu Changsheng was his cause, and he was Gu Changsheng's effect.
Cause and effect are always connected. Once they meet, they will recognize each other.
Gu Changsheng glanced at the others and then said, "This isn't the place to talk."
After speaking, he waved his hand, taking Gu Sheng, the Desolate Ancient Bell, and the Primordial Chaos Xuanhuang Pagoda away with him.
"As expected of His Majesty, the Holy Emperor!"
Seeing Gu Changsheng easily resolve their crisis, they couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Can you see the Great Emperor's cultivation level?" someone asked.
The others all shook their heads. How could they see Gu Sheng's cultivation level?
"As expected of the Holy Emperor's son, in just 500,000 years, his cultivation has reached an unfathomable level. Compared to him, we are like ants peering at the sky, overestimating ourselves."
They all shook their heads. Back when they were in the forbidden zone, they sneered at the Longevity Emperor or the Desolate Ancient Emperor, believing that if they were in the same era, they could suppress them.
Now that they think about it, how arrogant were their thoughts back then? Calling them frogs at the bottom of a well wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Let's encourage ourselves!"
After someone finished speaking, they disappeared into the starry sky. After Gu Sheng's impact, they became even more obsessed with powerful strength.
Which of them hasn't lived longer than His Majesty, the Holy Emperor, and the Desolate Ancient Emperor? But now, they are only True Immortals, and they became immortals with the help of Houtu. Although there's nothing on the surface, how can they not feel bitter inside?
But having lived for so many years, these bitterness will only become the driving force for them to reach higher realms. Now that the Great Dao has recovered, it is an excellent opportunity for them to soar into the sky.
…
Outside the Virtual God Realm, Gu Changsheng brought Gu Sheng here.
"Father, what exactly is going on? They call you Holy Emperor. What is your relationship with the Longevity Emperor? Also, why are you alive?"
Gu Sheng didn't have time to observe the surrounding environment. The doubts in his heart kept asking questions like a barrage of arrows. It's no wonder. If his Dao heart wasn't firm, he wouldn't know what to do now.
"Nonsense, your father isn't dead, so naturally I'm alive."
Gu Changsheng glared at him unhappily when he heard his last words. Your father is standing right in front of you, and you're still asking me why I'm alive? Do you really want me to die!
"As for the other questions, listen to me slowly." Gu Changsheng took out a wine pot and took a sip of wine, then slowly told the changes in the mortal world over the years.
After listening, Gu Sheng was shocked after shocked. The Ancient God Race, the Ancient God Race's Twelve Ancestral God Inheritance Temples, the Ancient God Race's Ancestral God Houtu, these were all things he had never heard of or seen in the past hundreds of thousands of years. As for having a junior sister and junior brother, he wasn't shocked anymore, because the previous things were already shocking beyond measure.
"And I am the Human Race's Holy Emperor from a million years ago, also the Longevity Emperor that the world sings praises of," Gu Changsheng said lightly.
Gu Sheng was silent, and then his tone suddenly became very excited, and said, "Since you are the Longevity Emperor, why didn't you save Mother?"
Hearing Gu Sheng's question, Gu Changsheng was also silent for a while, and said, "Father is very gratified that you still care about your mother."
"Although we have no chance to meet, but your son dares not forget the grace of giving birth!" Gu Sheng said firmly.
Gu Changsheng nodded lightly, took a sip of wine, then placed the wine pot in front of Gu Sheng, and said, "This wine pot was a gift from your mother back then. Just like this wine pot, the material is ordinary mortal soil, and the me back then was a wisp of divine soul that had transformed into a mortal to experience tribulation. My cultivation was not strong, and I couldn't change fate against the heavens. When I woke up, your mother had already successfully reincarnated."
"Then feigning death and hiding?"
Gu Sheng asked again.
"It's very simple, I'm lazy!" Gu Changsheng said.
"…" Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng was speechless. He thought there would be some heaven-defying reason, such as the mortal world having foreign enemies that he needed to suppress, or other worlds needing help from the human race, so he went to other worlds, or to prevent him from growing up under the protection of a powerful father and losing the motivation to cultivate… such reasons could be justified.
But now, it was actually because of laziness. Is this reason appropriate to be said from the Holy Emperor's mouth?
Gu Sheng couldn't help but think of some legends, so he asked, "The information recorded in ancient history about your fall, was it also because you were lazy and retired?"
Gu Changsheng nodded and said, "Do you know how tiring it is to be a ruler? And it's even more tiring to be a very wise ruler. It's better to have two ounces of wine in my mouth."
"Father, we just recognized each other, can you let me have some fantasy?"
Gu Sheng showed a bitter smile on his face.
"What, what kind of person is Father in your heart?" Gu Changsheng couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"…"
Gu Sheng didn't speak. The father in the depths of his heart had always been a great father, but now he found that the reality was different from what he imagined. He had a feeling of disillusionment. How could he say such things now?
"Father, were you the one in Qianyuan Realm back then?" Gu Sheng said.
"As expected of my seed, you're smart." Gu Changsheng gave Gu Sheng a thumbs up.
Gu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Father, you really put in a lot of effort, even fabricating a friend to guide me."
"No, no, no!" Gu Changsheng shook his head and said, "Li Beichen is not fabricated, he is indeed Father's confidant and friend, and he is indeed from the mortal world."
"That's not right, if he is from the mortal world, why have I never heard of his great name?" Gu Sheng frowned. Someone who can become a confidant and friend with his father will definitely not be an ordinary person, and must be famous in history, but he has never heard of Li Beichen's name, which made him puzzled.
"Cough cough, do you know what a friendship between generations is?" Gu Changsheng didn't answer, but asked instead.
"Of course I know." Gu Sheng nodded. A friendship between generations means that two people have become confidants and friends across the limitations of age. Suddenly, Gu Sheng's eyes shook, and he asked, "He wouldn't be someone after me, right?"
"Smart!" Gu Changsheng nodded with satisfaction. As expected of our seed, the genes are excellent, and you understand this point.
"Beichen was a figure from 300,000 years ago, who proved the Dao with the sword. It's a pity that heaven is jealous of talents. He only spent 15,000 years to touch the Immortal Realm. If he had settled for a few thousand years, perhaps he wouldn't have fallen under the heavenly tribulation."
"But his Sword Dao is to move forward, since the realm has already arrived, he will never shrink back."
Gu Changsheng's tone was regretful, making Gu Sheng curious about what kind of person Li Beichen was.
"Eh, Little Sheng, you're back?"
Just then, Yun Wuyue in purple walked over.
