Chapter 1066

The Desolate Emperor was gone, his soul completely dissipating from the world.

He was like a firework. He existed for a very short time, but at the end of his life, he released a huge amount of light and heat.

He killed five Outer Realm geniuses and two young sovereigns. The rest were all seriously injured!

Even though he was about to die, the remaining geniuses were intimidated by him. They didn't have the courage to attack and chose to flee.

He had used his glorious achievements to fight for the Ninth Realm. Even though he had died, it was a glorious death!

After he died, the scene of an emperor falling appeared in space within a million kilometers. Heavy rain drowned the Milky Way. It was as if even the heavens were mourning his death.

Gu Chen stood in the rain for a long time, letting the rain completely soak his hair and robe as he mourned this respectable senior.

At some point, the people of the Barbarian Race, Mirage Race, and Desolate God Race had all returned. They surrounded Gu Chen with red eyes as they mourned the passing of the Desolate Emperor.

Hai Dongqing, Jiang Baiming, Dragon Horse, and the others were full of self-blame. After Gu Chen left, they should have protected the Desolate Emperor, but in the end, they still let him die.

"Frined Gu, I'm sorry. I wasn't strong enough."

Hai Dongqing blamed herself, and there was sorrow between her brows.

The Desolate Heaven General was his senior in Ancient Heaven. He had brought hope to the scattered Ancient Heaven when he became the Desolate Emperor, but he had died in such a pitiful manner.

His death was undoubtedly a major blow to the ancient Heavenly Court!

"Just what happened after I left? Tell me everything in detail. Don't leave anything out."

Gu Chen lowered his head, his voice slightly hoarse.

Although he had a rough idea of what had happened from the Desolate Emperor, he didn't know the details.

He had come to the Milky Way ahead of time to protect his senior, but reality had slapped him in the face. Now, his heart was filled with rage.

Everyone looked at each other and quickly told him what had happened.

The corners of Gu Chen's mouth curled up into a sinister smile. "The True Spirit Race, Yi Clan, and the others have all sided with the Outer Realm. Are they still so stupid at this time?"

He clenched his fists and felt a chill in his heart.

The death of the Desolate Emperor could not be blamed on Hai Dongqing and the others for not protecting him properly. There were simply too many enemies.

The 60 Outer Realm geniuses were the main culprits, but the True Spirit Clan and the Yi Clan were even more despicable.

"The True Spirit Clan, Yi Clan, and my Wilderness God Clan all belong to the Divine Realm. The Immeasurable Demon God Sect was once our ally. I never expected them to kick us when we're down! In the end, they are still inferior to Ling Long Celestial Palace. "

The surviving cultivators of the Desolate God Race were led by the patriarch. Their faces were filled with sorrow, and they were at a loss for the future.

Their ancestor was dead, their former allies had betrayed them, and the situation in the Ninth Realm was so complicated. What should they do?

It was not hard to imagine that when the news of the Huang Emperor's death spread, the Waste Region that they ruled would be in endless trouble. They would no longer be able to maintain their original sphere of influence.

What was even worse was that the Desolate God Race would be exterminated!

Gu Chen looked at the people of the Desolate God Race. The Desolate God had given him a great fortune before he died, and the safety of the Desolate God Race was his greatest concern before he died.

Logically or emotionally, he couldn't just watch them die.

Moreover, he already knew his enemies clearly. He needed many allies and subordinates, the more the better!

"The Desolate God Race entrusted you to me before he died. If you are willing to become a force under my command, I can assure you that I will protect you."

Gu Chen said seriously.

The cultivators of the Desolate God Race were shocked, and then their expressions became complicated.

The man in front of them had destroyed the Desolate God Main Star, and many of their clansmen had been killed by him. It was not easy to ask them to surrender to him.

However, they had all seen how the ancestor had behaved before he died. In the end, only Gu Chen was left, and he had obviously changed his opinion of him.

As the only person in the Ninth Realm who had the title of Young Supreme Venerable, they knew Gu Chen's strength clearly. Joining him was a wise choice.

"Please give us some time."

This was a serious matter, and the patriarch of the Desolate God Race said. After Gu Chen had agreed, they started a discussion among themselves.

After a while, they came to a decision. The patriarch of the Desolate God Race looked at Gu Chen and asked anxiously. "Frined Gu, we want to know if following you means joining Ancient Heaven?"

Gu Chen used to be the second-generation Desolate Heaven General of Ancient Heaven, but he later left Ancient Heaven and seemed to have become a neutral force.

The people of the Desolate God Race did not know which force he belonged to. In the turbulent Ninth Realm, what was he going to do in the future?

It was very important to figure this out. In this golden era where heroes were rising, the kind of person one followed would lead to completely different results.

Gu Chen looked at the cultivators of the Desolate God Race one by one, then at the warriors of the Barbarians and the Mirage Monsters, and finally at his companions.

He said in a clear voice, "What I'm going to say now is not just to the Desolate God Race, but also to everyone here, so I hope everyone can listen carefully."

Everyone couldn't help but listen carefully.

"Before today, I left Ancient Heaven long ago and had nothing to do with the Immortal World or the Divine Realm. I'm like a wild crane that lives among the clouds."

"Fortunately, I have a group of reliable companions who always stand on the same side as me."

"I've stayed in my hometown for two years, and I've made up my mind when I return to the universe this time. Since you didn't abandon me, you must have the same will as me."

When Gu Chen said this, Jiang Baiming, Penglai Island Master, and other companions all nodded solemnly.

"Today, Senior Desolate Emperor's death enlightened me. If I don't do something, the world we live in will have no hope at all."

"So, I need everyone's strength. I need more people's strength!"

Gu Chen's eyes turned sharp, and he looked at the patriarch of the Desolate God Race.

"You asked if following me counts as joining Ancient Heaven, and I'll answer you right now, yes and no!"

The cultivators of the Desolate God Race were confused.

"I will return to Ancient Heaven. No matter what state it is in now, I will bring it under my banner!"

Gu Chen's tone was extremely domineering. Desolate Emperor's death deeply stimulated him and made him completely understand!

When Hai Dongqing heard that Gu Chen had decided to return to Ancient Heaven, he couldn't help but show excitement on his face.

What happened two years ago caused Gu Chen to part ways with Ancient Heaven. Although he chose to follow Gu Chen, his heart had always been in Ancient Heaven.

He had always believed that Gu Chen was the hope of the Ancient Celestial Court. Unfortunately, he had never mentioned anything about returning to the Ancient Celestial Court in the past two years. Even after returning to the starry sky, his attitude was ambiguous.

Now, he finally made a decision. He wanted to return to Ancient Heaven!
