Chapter 1012

Tang Ning looked at Gu Chen, and his smile gradually froze.

"Gu Chen, I asked Hai Dongqing to tell you not to get involved in this war between immortals and gods, and to run as far away as possible. Do you know why?"

Gu Chen was silent and didn't answer.

"I let you escape not because I thought you couldn't survive in this terrible vortex, but because although you joined the Ancient Heavenly Court under my recommendation, you have always been a person who is neither a deity nor a god."

"You've only joined Ancient Heaven for a short time, and you've never experienced the conflict between immortals and gods. How can you understand why we're risking our lives?"

"But you still guessed that I would get involved in this vortex." Gu Chen looked deeply at Tang Ning.

"Yes, although I gave you advice, I also know that you won't give up. In fact, if you really did give up, I'm afraid I would still be under the control of the Pure Spirit Kingdom. "

"Do you think I'm indebted to you for doing this? In fact, even if I'm still under the control of the Jingling Taoist, it doesn't matter, as long as I can fulfill my life's long-cherished wish. "

Tang Ning said seriously. At this moment, he felt unfamiliar to Gu Chen. He didn't seem to be the sloppy guy he used to be.

"If this war continues, people will be plunged into misery and suffering. Is it worth it?" Gu Chen murmured.

"Is it worth it?"

When Tang Ning heard this, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Gu Chen, do you know how many forces from the Immortal World have perished under the siege of the Divine Realm since the collapse of the Primeval Immortal World?"

"First came the chaos of the immortals and gods. The Divine Realm took advantage of the disappearance of the Immortal Emperors to launch an attack. Many of our Celestial Generals died, and many of the forces from the Immortal World were severed."

"After that, the Ancient Heaven chose to conceal their strength and bide their time, ceding this world to the Divine Realm, but they still refused to give up."

"For millions of years, the Divine Realm has been suppressing the living space of the forces in the Immortal World. After the Chaos of the Immortals and Gods, countless forces in the Immortal World have perished under their persecution, and many precious inheritances have become extinct."

"The Tang Clan that I belong to, and even the Tyrants that you belong to, are their victims."

As Tang Ning spoke, he looked at the two Immortal Reverends of the Heart Ape Tribe.

"After the last battle in the Wasteland Region, because of the Pure Spirit Kingdom's instigation, the Divine Realm already had the idea to encircle and annihilate our Ancient Heaven. If the Ancient Heaven perishes, the Heart Ape Clan, the Nether World, and Ling Long Celestial Palace will be eradicated by the Divine Realm sooner or later. "

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we don't take action and inflict heavy losses on the Divine Realm, we will be the next ones to perish."

"You want me to retreat because I don't want the people to be plunged into misery and suffering, but if I take this step back, the Immortal World may really perish completely!"

Tang Ning spoke in a serious tone, and the two Immortal Reverends of the Heart Ape Clan felt distressed.

"This war started because of the Pure Spirit Kingdom, and the Ancient Heaven's actions are exactly what the Man with a Bamboo Hat wants. In the end, the only one who will benefit is him. And both the Ancient Heaven and the Divine Realm will be the losers. "

Gu Chen argued.

"The point is no longer who will benefit. Even if there is a huge disparity between the combat power of the Ancient Heaven and the Divine Realm, we must take action this time. Otherwise, the situation in the future will be even more worrisome. As for the Pure Spirit Kingdom wanting to use us, aren't we also using them? There is no better opportunity than this! "

Tang Ning spoke with certainty, and Gu Chen knew that he couldn't convince him.

He also understood that the Immortal World and the Gods had been opposing each other for a long time, and the conflict between the two sides was deeply rooted. It was like a dead knot, and it was definitely not something that he could resolve.

At least for now, he didn't have the ability to resolve it!

"Gu Chen, I once hoped to nurture you into the sharpest spear of the Ancient Heaven. Right now, we are preparing to attack the Arena of the Gods. If you are willing to stay, the position of the Second Generation Barren Heavenly General will still be yours."

Tang Ning looked at Gu Chen, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Gu Chen's expression became one of struggle.

This war started because of the Man with a Bamboo Hat, and he didn't want to be used by the other party.

Moreover, now that his father had been rescued, and Lanchu was willing to leave with him, he had already obtained what he wanted.

There were his old friends in the Arena of the Gods, and he didn't want to stand against them. However, it was absolutely impossible for him to join the side of the Divine Realm.

He didn't want to get involved in this war, because he felt that it was meaningless.

The Immortals and the Gods might have countless grievances and entanglements, but most of the Heavenly Soldiers of the Ancient Heaven and the ordinary disciples of the forces of the Divine Realm were actually innocent.

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't respond for a long time, Tang Ning shook his head and laughed at himself. "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. You should go!"

Gu Chen's expression changed.

"You were originally expelled from the Celestial Court, but today you helped control Yuan Buhuo, indirectly saving Friend Li, and also helped my Celestial Court to get rid of the control of the Pure Spirit Kingdom. This is already a great gift, and you don't owe my Celestial Court anything."

"You walked out of the Ancient Planet Cang Huang and stepped into the vast starry sky to save your father. Now that you think you've succeeded, there's no need to get involved in this mess."

"Take the people you cherish and leave, the army of the Celestial Court won't stop you."

Gu Chen was silent for a long time, and only said two words. "Thank you."

He couldn't persuade Tang Ning to change his mind, nor could he persuade Shi Jian, Qi Zeyan, and the others to go with him, because they all had their own paths to walk, and their own beliefs to adhere to.

And what he needed to do now was to protect the people around him.

"Friend Hai, do you want to go with Gu Chen, or stay?"

Tang Ning and Gu Chen finished talking, and then immediately looked at Hai Dongqing.

Hai Dongqing held the Demon Blade of Yan Ling, his face solemn. "As a Heavenly General of Ancient Heaven, even if our ideals are different, at this juncture, I will naturally stay and do my part."

Tang Ning heard this, and his face lit up. "If Friend Hai is willing to go all out, my Ancient Heaven will be like a tiger with wings!"

He looked at the two Immortal Venerables of the Heartless Ape Clan. "What about you two? I know that the Heartless Ape Clan is willing to stay in the alliance because of Gu Chen. Now that Gu Chen is going to leave, will you two also leave with him? "

Gu Chen could not help but look at the Great Ape Immortal Venerables and the Battling Immortal Venerables. According to the original plan, the Heartless Ape Clan would cover for his escape.

But now that the Ancient Heaven would not stop him, and the forces of the Divine Realm were also trapped in the arena, he no longer needed anyone's help, and he could easily leave the Divine Realm.

"Young friend Gu, please take the little ancestor away and protect its safety. As for us, we have decided to stay and join forces with the Celestial Court."

The two Immortal Venerables discussed for a while, and finally, the Great Ape Immortal Venerables said.

Tang Ning's previous words moved them. Their relationship with the Ancient Heaven was indeed interdependent. Since there was a chance to deal a heavy blow to the forces of the Divine Realm, they would not let it go.

Gu Chen did not expect the Heartless Ape Clan to also decide to stay and participate in the battle, and could only nod with a heavy heart.

"Boom!"

Just as he was thinking about whether to leave to find his real body, there was suddenly a huge movement in the direction of the Divine Tree Forest!

The commotion was so great that both the God Town and the Arena could feel it!

"What's happening?"

Tang Ning's pupils suddenly shrank. He felt that the Essence Qi of heaven and earth was gathering in the direction of the Divine Tree Forest, and there were many strange phenomena!

Gu Chen's consciousness was shared with his real body and the other avatar, and he quickly understood the source of the movement, and his heart was filled with horror.
