Chapter 1155
This was not a gathering they had deliberately arranged. Rather, it was a rumor that a ruin was about to appear on Planet Babao, and they had all coincidentally been sent to the same place by their sects.
Thinking back to the last gathering on Mount Myriad God, the number of people this time was a bit less than before. Over the past two years, everyone had changed a lot.
After the collapse of the Divine Realm, dao energy recovered, and the golden era descended. For small cultivators like them who came from remote ancient planets, it was both an opportunity and a danger.
Those who were lucky enough to be present had their cultivations increase by leaps and bounds. Now, they were the pillars of the younger generation of their sects.
As for those who were unlucky enough to not be present, they had inquired about their experiences. After finding out, their hearts were particularly heavy.
Hong Taiyi's sect had been completely massacred by an Outer Realm genius, and his whereabouts were unknown. It was very likely that he was already dead.
Feng Jiuqian had been poisoned by a strange poison while carrying out a sect mission. He had lost an arm and was now at the bottom of the sect.
Li Wanjun was a bit better off. She was beautiful, and it was said that she had found a powerful elder, so she did not have to worry about food or clothing.
It was just that she had become a man's plaything. Compared to her ambitions as a genius, it was unavoidable for others to sigh.
Whether Li Wanjun's actions were right or wrong, no one could criticize her. After all, in this golden era, none of them had any control over their own lives.
A large part of the reason they were doing better than others was because their sects were powerful enough.
In this chaotic world, the weak didn't even have the right to choose their own lives!
"If we had followed Gu Chen back then, I wonder what everyone's situation would be like now?"
As everyone talked about their experiences over the past few years, Mu Ziyu couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Back in the Arena of the Gods, Gu Chen had given them a choice to follow him back to Planet Dark Yellow.
However, at the time, everyone had refused because they felt that they could no longer go back.
Who would have thought that after that, many of them did not have ideal lives?
There was always a large gap between ideals and reality. They thought they could make a big name for themselves, but in the end, the talent they were so proud of was nothing in the vast universe.
In particular, after the Outer Realm Hundred arrived, the title of genius became even more unreachable for them...
"This world is destined to only belong to a few geniuses."
The Giant Demon Clan's Luo Li took a big gulp of wine and resentfully said.
As soon as he said that, everyone present thought of the man who came from the same place as them.
In the battle at Mystic Woman Palace, he had defeated two Outer Realm paragons!
He returned to the Celestial Court and turned the tide to become the First Heavenly General!
Right now, he was already a world-renowned overlord. Both the Immortal Realm and the God Realm would turn pale at the mention of his name …
"The path is chosen by myself. I never regret it."
Qi Zeyan said calmly when he saw that everyone's mood was a little heavy.
Hearing this, everyone's expression shook, and they nodded in succession.
Actually, they did not regret it. It was just that old friends were reunited, and they could not help but feel emotional.
"I wonder how Big Brother Gu is doing now. The Celestial Court must be under a lot of pressure."
Zhao Rou, who was in the middle of the field, started talking. Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
She was actually not very familiar with the people present, and her feelings for Gu Chen were not quite the same as the others.
He was like a member of her family. No matter how far away they were, she would always worry about him.
Recently, all the major powers had gathered in the Jade Spring Starfield, and the Celestial Court was the topic of everyone's discussion. She had heard a lot of information regarding Gu Chen, both true and false. It was inevitable that she would worry about him.
But, she had chosen to stay in the Fallen Flowers Divine Sect with everyone. Now, she had no standing or channel to worry about him.
"Gu Chen has always been a tough guy. Don't worry, no matter how many enemies he has, he will not die."
Lu Yichen comforted her.
"That's right, that's right. He is now the Celestial Court's First Heavenly General. He has countless powerful people assisting him.
He will be fine, "said Mu Ziyu. There was a trace of disappointment in her voice.
As the crowd were chatting, a commotion suddenly sounded from below.
"What's going on?" Luo Li frowned and wanted to go down to check.
"Don't worry about it. Earlier, I noticed that most of the people downstairs are disciples from the Ascension Sect."
Shi Jian stopped him and warned him.
The Ascension Sect was the inheritance of Immortal Emperor Yu Hua. It was a famous power in the Immortal World. It was not at all inferior to the Giant Demon Clan and the Starsea Sand Clan.
In fact, ever since the rise of the Ascension Sect's genius Zuo Chunqiu, the Ascension Sect had become more and more extraordinary.
The Immortal World had been opposing each other for a very long time. There were conflicts between the Ascension Sect and their sects. Even though they were currently at peace because they were all searching for the remnants, they still had to be careful.
"Humph, so noisy. I wonder what they're arguing about?"
Luo Li snorted coldly. He understood Shi Jian's worries and sat back on his chair.
The commotion downstairs was truly too loud. Even though they didn't want to hear it, they were still able to hear it clearly.
"The Immortal World's Convening Order! Preposterous! Does the overlord really consider himself to be a Heavenly Emperor? "
"On the fifth day of the fourth month, all powers of the Immortal World must pledge their loyalty to the Fairy Maiden Palace. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy? What boldness, what a tyrannical ruler! "
The Ascension Sect's disciples were filled with righteous indignation. They were not the only ones who were angry. The other Immortal World sects were also furious.
"Convening Order? What's going on? "
Shi Jian, Lu Yichen and the others' gazes turned cold. At this moment, the crowd downstairs was filled with astonishing discussions. As for the cause of this commotion, it was actually their old friend.
"The Ninth Realm does not only have a single young Utmost Exalted, there is also our Ascension Sect's Zuo Chunqiu!"
"If the overlord thinks that he can cover the sky with one hand, then he is gravely mistaken. He does not have the ability to command the entire Immortal World!"
The Ascension Sect's disciples took the lead to speak. The other Immortal World cultivators all echoed in agreement.
"Has Gu Chen gone mad?"
Hearing what was happening, Mu Ziyu was unable to help herself from sucking in a mouthful of cold air.
At this moment, everyone knew that the Celestial Court was like a tall tree that attracted the wind. At this sort of time, Gu Chen actually pulled the powers of the Immortal World against him!
For the Immortal World's cultivators to have such a reaction upon hearing the convening order in a tiny restaurant, it could be seen what sort of storm the decree issued by the Celestial Court had created in the entire Jade Spring Starfield, the entire Ninth Realm!
Gu Chen's old friends were all stunned. They felt as if a storm was brewing.
"The situation of this golden era is becoming more and more incomprehensible."
Shi Jian said with a bitter smile. With their current position, they were unable to understand where this golden era was headed.
"With a flip of my hand, I can summon clouds, with a flip of my hand, I can summon rain. The world is within my grasp, and the winds and clouds will change color … This is how a man should be born!"
Qi Zeyan suddenly drained the cup of wine in his hand in a single gulp. Then, he smashed the wine cup and stood up.
"Brother Qi, where are you going?"
The crowd looked at him in astonishment.
"I'm searching for remnants to temper my sword intent! If I don't work harder, I won't even be able to see his back! "
