Chapter 1629
Zuo Chunqiu's intuition was a little scary. If this was true, then the mastermind must be playing a big game of chess.
However, which Daolord in the Hundred Commanderies had the ability to influence the Heavenly Fate Rankings?
What was the point of doing so?
Reason told Gu Chen that it was impossible, but it still left a thorn in his heart.
"In any case, it's better to be safe than sorry. You should be more careful."
Zuo Chunqiu changed the topic. Although he was from the Tiandao Sect, he couldn't divine anything in this matter. He just instinctively felt that something was off.
Gu Chen nodded. The two of them had a tacit understanding, so they changed the topic and started to talk about something else.
Everyone chatted happily along the way until they arrived at Dao Lord Heaveneye's star orifice city.
This city had originally been an enormous planet, but Daolord Heaveneye had used his great divine ability to carve it out from the inside, causing it to slowly become hollow and interconnected, transforming it into a true starry city.
The surface of the star-orifice city was shaped like a sphere, and there were countless entrances leading into the city. The entrances all glowed with a crimson light that looked very much like Daolord Skyeye's eyes.
Recently, because of the Hundred Counties Grand Ceremony, many of the entrances of Star Aperture City could see flying ships from various counties. It was a spectacular sight.
Tyrant County's flying ship successfully flew into Star Orifice City. By the time Gu Chen got off the flying ship, Dao Lord Skyeye had already arrived.
This Dao Lord had the best vision in the Chaos Sea. He naturally knew when Gu Chen would arrive.
In fact, Gu Chen suspected that no one in Heaven Eye Prefecture would be able to escape Dao Lord Heaven Eye's surveillance.
"Frined Gu, how have you been?"
Daolord Heaveneye greeted Gu Chen in a friendly manner.
"Fellow Daoist Heaveneye, may I ask if the other Daolords have arrived?"
Gu Chen and Dao Lord Heavenly Eye exchanged pleasantries before entering Star Orifice City together.
During this period of time, all of the participating cultivators were led away by Daolord Skyeye's subordinates. They were given special accommodations to stay in.
"Most of the Daolords have already arrived. Quite a few of them are asking me if you, Frined Gu, have arrived."
Daolord Skyeye smiled as he replied. As the Lord of Tyrant Commandery, Gu Chen's popularity was slowly catching up to that of Daolord Qin and Daolord Su.
This was a situation that was rarely seen in many years. The speed of his rise made even him gasp in amazement.
"Frined Gu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
As the two of them were talking, a fair and demonic face appeared from behind the pillar in front of them.
"Fellow Daoist Su."
Gu Chen greeted him. He didn't expect Dao Lord Su to wait for him here.
"I still have many things to do. Since Fellow Daoist Su has something to discuss with Frined Gu, I'll take my leave first."
Initially, Dao Lord Heaveneye had wanted to chat a little with Gu Chen. However, when he saw Dao Lord Su looking for him, he found a random excuse and bade farewell.
As soon as he left, Dao Lord Su walked to Gu Chen's side with a smile, acting like he was close with him.
"Frined Gu, why do you think Fellow Daoist Heaven Eye left in such a hurry?"
"As the host, it's normal for him to be a little busy," Gu Chen replied casually.
"That's where you're wrong."
Dao Lord Su shook his head and said meaningfully. "He's trying to avoid arousing suspicion."
"Avoid arousing suspicion?" Gu Chen was deep in thought.
"Back at the Sword Commandery, we were on the same side and viciously crushed Dao Lord Qin's spirit. Now, all the Dao Lords think that we're on the same side."
"If Fellow Daoist Heaven Eye gets too close to us at a time like this, it'll easily arouse unnecessary suspicion. After all, he's always been neutral within the hundred commanderies and his abilities are very special as well. He's especially important within the hundred commanderies and he's not allowed to take any sides. "
Understanding, Gu Chen smiled and moved further away from Dao Lord Su.
"What's the meaning of this, Frined Gu?" Dao Lord Su was stunned.
"Back at the Sword Commandery, although I was on the same side as Fellow Daoist Su, I have no intention of getting involved in the fight between you and Dao Lord Qin."
The fight between Qin and Su had been going on for a long time. Although Gu Chen did not like Dao Lord Qin, he did not want to be used as a tool.
All the Dao Lords thought that he was on the same side as Dao Lord Su, and that was not good.
"Frined Gu sure is pragmatic." Dao Lord Su could not help but look sad.
"May I know why you're looking for me, Fellow Daoist Su?" Gu Chen made up his mind. If Dao Lord Su wanted to join forces with him to deal with Dao Lord Qin, it would be best for him to stay away from him.
There was not much meaning in a fight between Dao Lords. The only ones who would suffer would be the common people under their banner.
"Don't worry, Frined Gu. I'm not here to form an alliance with you!"
Dao Lord Su finally understood Gu Chen's way of doing things and gave up on the idea of recruiting him.
However, even if he could not recruit him, it would be good to do him a favor. He did not want him to become his enemy.
"Frined Gu has never experienced the grand opening of the Realm Sea, so there are many things that you don't understand, right?"
Dao Lord Su changed the topic and immediately attracted Gu Chen's interest. His expression turned serious.
"Let's go to my place."
Seeing Gu Chen's expression, Dao Lord Su knew that he could do him a favor and said with a smile.
Thus, Gu Chen followed Dao Lord Su to his residence.
"Frined Gu, the final selection of the Chaotic Myriad Spirit List won't take too long. It will only take two days. When the time comes, we will head to the Realm Sea together and meet the emissary from the Upper Realm. What do you think? "
Dao Lord Su personally poured tea for Gu Chen.
"For all the cultivators participating in the List Battle, this is a very precious opportunity. However, as the ones who set the rules, we are just bystanders. What can we think? "Gu Chen replied casually.
"Does Frined Gu really not understand, or is he pretending to be confused?" Dao Lord Su grinned at Gu Chen.
"Fellow Daoist Su, what do you mean?" Gu Chen frowned.
"That's right. As Dao Lords, we are not participants. On the surface, we are just bystanders. However, the emissary from the Upper Realm does not care about that.
"To them, they will accept anyone as long as they are talented.
"As the youngest Dao Lord, Frined Gu is able to infuriate Dao Lord Qin at such a young age. The emissary from the Upper Realm will definitely value such talent. When that time comes, I wonder what Frined Gu will choose? "
Dao Lord Su glanced at Gu Chen. Gu Chen's choice would affect the future of the Chaotic Sea.
Without a doubt, if Gu Chen stayed in the Chaotic Sea, the next epoch would definitely belong to him. Dao Lord Qin's light would completely dim.
Gu Chen fell silent for a moment. Nameless had asked a similar question before.
The Primordial Chaos Dao World was a supreme holy land for cultivation. Everyone naturally yearned for it, but the only thing he was worried about now was the way home.
This was not a topic that could be discussed with others. Gu Chen avoided the topic and asked instead. "Given Daoist Su's talent and strength, there was a chance of entering the Primordial Chaos Dao World when the Realm Sea opened in the past, right? Why are you still here? "
"Don't tell me Frined Gu thinks that it's easy for Dao Lords to enter the Dao World?" Dao Lord Su had a strange expression.
