Chapter 1085

As the two conversed, Gu Chen finally had a clear understanding of the current situation.

When Li Shunyu mentioned the death of the Desolate Emperor, his expression became dejected. "Big brother Huang died in the battle of the Milky Way. This is a great loss for my Ancient Heaven. It's all my fault for not being able to protect him in time."

Gu Chen shook his head. This matter couldn't be blamed on Li Shunyu. It was clear that the outer realm geniuses had made a meticulous plan to destroy the Desolate Emperor and Ancient Heaven.

Even he could only predict Xiong Jun's movements, but he didn't expect so many young supreme beings to be involved.

"Fellow Daoist Man told the Old Man about the cause and effect of Xiong Jun's death, including the matter of you killing Xiong Jun. According to our investigation, the news of big brother Huang's battle with the Desolate God was leaked by Xiong Jun. He tried to use other geniuses to restrain Ancient Heaven.

"However, when news leaked out, the direction of the situation became completely different. That Fang Wen, Lei Xiao Zi, Daoist Yu, as well as Mu Chengfeng, Blue Moon Scholar and the other geniuses who surrounded big brother Huang joined hands to wipe out big brother Huang and my Ancient Heavenly Court."

"Fortunately, big brother Huang broke through to become an emperor in the end, killing two young supreme beings with his own strength. The escaped Mu Chengfeng also lost his fighting strength, or else if they met up with Fang Wen and the others, Ancient Heavenly Court's current situation might be even worse."

Li Shunyu sighed, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Compared to Gu Chen, he knew Heaven General Huang even earlier. Back when the Immortal World still existed, he was still a child. Heaven General Huang had long since grown up and took good care of him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have called him big brother Huang. To him, Li Shunyu was an amiable and respectable senior.

He had been busy dealing with Ancient Heaven's crisis and didn't have time to mourn the Desolate Emperor. But now, after a long conversation with Gu Chen, sorrow surged in his heart.

Gu Chen was infected by Li Shunyu's emotions and couldn't help but clench his fists.

The cause and effect of the Desolate Emperor's death was finally clear. Xiong Jun was undoubtedly the main culprit, but the remaining young supreme beings were also involved!

The fifth world's genius Fang Wen who was proficient in dragon tracking and divination!

Lei Xiao and Daoist Yu were two of the ten Outer Realm young paragons!

There was also the Void Roaming Sword, Mu Chengfeng, who had luckily escaped back then!

Gu Chen memorized the names and origins of these four Supremes. He secretly swore that he would kill them with his own hands to comfort the soul of the Desolate Emperor in heaven!

"Frined Gu, the Old Man is very grateful that you are able to return this time. The Old Man also knows about your intention to hold a meeting in the Heavenly Music Parlor. We'll talk about the meeting after we get through this crisis. Now, let's fight side by side, okay? "

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Li Shunyu calmed himself down and said sincerely.

Gu Chen restrained the boiling killing intent in his heart towards the few Supreme Martial Artists and nodded. Then, he recalled what he had heard from his companions and couldn't help but speak.

"As for the Wilds God Race, I wonder how the Ancient Heaven will deal with them. They're not weak either."

Li Shunyu had guessed that Gu Chen would bring up this matter and sighed.

"The Old Man has already learned about the Wilds God Race from Fellow Daoist Man. Since the grievances between Big Brother Huang and the Wilds God Race have been resolved, and the Wilds God Race has joined your banner, it's not impossible for them to join my Ancient Heaven. The Old Man supports this matter.

"But things aren't that simple. The Wilds God Race was once a first-rate force in the Divine Realm, and they have persecuted the cultivators of my Ancient Heaven for the past million years. The conflict between the two sides is deep and complicated."

When Gu Chen heard this, his lips curled into a cold smile. "Another confrontation between immortals and gods?"

Li Shunyu didn't speak. He already knew Gu Chen's position. He advocated reconciliation between immortals and gods.

"I heard that there are people in Ancient Heaven who don't trust me and feel that my position isn't firm. Is it Wu Huang, or perhaps even more?"

Gu Chen thought of what Big Brother Jiang had said and asked.

Li Shunyu suddenly wanted to say something but stopped. He didn't want Gu Chen to know about this. After all, he had just returned and didn't want to ruin their relationship.

"Heavenly General Li, please speak." Gu Chen asked.

"What happened in the Divine Realm has indeed caused some people to have some complaints about Frined Gu, but everyone still welcomes your return." Li Shunyu said implicitly.

"I'm afraid that's not the case. Otherwise, with Big Brother Jiang and Azure Ox's strength, they wouldn't stay in this Mysterious Lady Palace and do nothing." Gu Chen shook his head.

Li Shunyu was speechless for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he tactfully said. "Heavenly General Lei and others hope to hold a meeting in the Heavenly Sound Pavilion to confirm your position before discussing these matters."

When Gu Chen heard this, his heart turned cold.

They heard that Ancient Heaven was in trouble and rushed over, but they didn't expect to be trusted.

Although Li Shunyu was good to him, everything he said now was just an excuse. He hoped to stabilize himself.

From his point of view, this was not wrong. After all, Ancient Heaven needed his combat strength now, and he couldn't offend others too much.

However, in Gu Chen's view, on the one hand, they needed his help, but on the other hand, they didn't give him a definite answer.

If Li Shunyu could withstand the doubts of others and rest assured to treat Big Brother Jiang and Azure Ox as comrades, then the words "fight side by side" just now would be sincere enough.

"I understand. Let's wait for the meeting to discuss everything."

Gu Chen suddenly felt that it was useless to talk to Li Shunyu. Li Shunyu's life had been pursuing the path of stability and safety, which was different from him.

He casually found an excuse and turned to leave the hall.

Li Shunyu knew that Gu Chen was a little disappointed in him and said to his back with guilt in his eyes. "Frined Gu, the Old Man supports you. I really hope that you can become a Desolate Heavenly General again."

As soon as Gu Chen walked to the door, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks. He turned his head and said coldly.

"Heavenly General Li, do you think that I came back this time just to continue to be a Desolate Heavenly General?"

Li Shunyu's expression was shocked. For a moment, he didn't understand what Gu Chen meant.

"What I want is a brand-new Celestial Court!"

Gu Chen said resolutely and decisively. After that, he strode out of the door, leaving Li Shunyu, who was greatly shocked.

"A brand-new Celestial Court …"

A long time after Gu Chen left, Li Shunyu's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. He vaguely understood what he wanted to do.

…

On the way back to his residence, Gu Chen was in a bad mood.

Li Shunyu's neutrality and the other Heavenly Generals' distrust disappointed him.

He wanted to integrate Ancient Heaven and make it the foundation of the new Celestial Court. He had to solve this problem.

He suddenly understood Tang Ning. Previously, in order to integrate Ancient Heaven, Tang Ning did not hesitate to borrow the power of the Pure Spirit Kingdom. Although it seemed extreme, it temporarily restored the vitality of Ancient Heaven.

The composition of the forces that formed Ancient Heaven was too complicated. If they all said their own thing, they would ultimately be in a state of disunity.

Only a powerful ruler could make the behemoth Ancient Heaven erupt with great power, because the truth was often in the hands of a few people.

Thinking of Tang Ning, Gu Chen couldn't help but touch his chin, curious about his current situation.
