Chapter 1669
Her bell-like laughter reverberated, and the little girl in red appeared strangely and abruptly.
How did a little girl survive alone in the Ninth Realm where all life had been extinguished?
The cultivators of the Tyrant County looked at the little girl in bewilderment. If not for her harmless appearance, they would have already attacked her.
"Brother, do you want to buy tanghulu?"
The little girl in red walked around Gu Chen's coffin and asked again. Seeing that he did not respond for a long time, a trace of confusion appeared on her face.
Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor looked back at the little girl. Seeing this strange little girl again in this cold and dark reality, he felt inexplicably warm.
Some things still hadn't changed!
When he looked at the Ancient Cang Huang Star again, hope reignited in his eyes.
Crack!
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the direction of the ancient star.
It was like the sound of bones rubbing against each other, as if someone was walking with difficulty. With every step, the bones seemed to be falling apart.
The breathing of the cultivators of the Tyrant County subconsciously quickened. They had gone through so much to come to the hometown of their leader, but they did not expect this place to be so gloomy and strange.
The sound of bones shaking became louder and louder. Finally, a white skeleton traversed the cold starry sky and appeared in front of everyone. The empty eye sockets were flashing with green soul fire.
Many people subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air. What was that thing?
Was it a human or a ghost?
It was fine if it was just the little girl in red, but now there was a walking skeleton. It made everyone wonder if they had come to the world of death.
"Who are you?" White-Haired Demon Monarch questioned the white bones with vigilance in his eyes.
"Give him … to me."
A wave of soul power came out, and Dao Monarch White Bones pointed at Gu Chen's coffin.
Everyone instantly understood what he meant, and White-Haired Demon Monarch's expression became a little surprised. "This divine consciousness …"
The divine consciousness from the white bones made him feel familiar. He re-examined the other party. Was this an old friend?
"Excuse me, are you Li Wuwei, Li Daojun?"
Feng Yaya suddenly stepped out from the crowd, and there was a trace of trembling in her voice.
"Li Wuwei?"
Many cultivators of the Tyrant County were stunned, and they more or less remembered something that their leader had told them.
As for the White-Haired Demon Monarch, he was enlightened as he took a deep breath.
"You've been missing for countless years. I thought you were dead!"
A shocking murderous aura burst from his body. He stood between the crowd and White Bone Lord, preventing Feng Yaya from getting close to him.
"Senior, he is Uncle Gu's teacher," Feng Yaya explained hurriedly. She did not understand why White-haired Demon Monarch would suddenly do that.
"He did inherit Gu Chen's Nature's Origin, but you might not know this, but he also participated in the pursuit of the Tyrants!"
The White-Haired Demon Monarch's eyes were cold as he recalled what had happened a million years ago.
"What happened back then …"
Feng Yaya recalled that when Gu Chen was tracking down clues about the Tyrants, he had secretly overheard Kong Sheng and Sha Luo Man's conversation and learned that Li Wuwei had participated in the hunt for the Tyrants.
This matter was confusing at the beginning because there were too few clues. They had never figured out the relationship between Li Wuwei, the White-Haired Demon Monarch, and the Tyrants.
"The Ninth Realm was your hometown, but you succumbed to the Sacred Family and handed this realm to Dao Lord Xing. You even colluded with them to persecute the Tyrants.
"I don't know how Gu Chen inherited your orthodoxy, but you are definitely up to no good. Maybe you are in cahoots with Fang Yuan?"
The White-Haired Demon Monarch gritted his teeth as he spoke. He had originally thought that Gu Chen's biggest threat was Dao Lord Xing. He did not expect someone like Fang Yuan to appear.
After his investigation, especially after interrogating Dao Lord Xing and another kid who were rescued from the ferry, he had some shocking guesses about that person's identity.
Fang Yuan had been scheming for Gu Chen's four Divine Grade Origins from the beginning. For this, he had already started making arrangements when Gu Chen was still in the Ninth Realm.
However, there was a crucial problem that could not be explained clearly. How could he be sure that Gu Chen could meet his expectations?
Gu Chen had yet to prove his Dao in the Ninth Realm, so no one could be sure that he could reach such a level later on. If there was anyone who could make such a judgment in advance, it could only be the person who gave him the Origin of Nature!
Because of the uniqueness of the Origin of Nature, Gu Chen had the possibility of controlling the Origin of Nature. That was the foundation of everything.
Li Wuwei was aware of Gu Chen's potential, and Gu Chen's creation was eventually seized by Fang Yuan. The White-Haired Demon Monarch suspected that the two had colluded long ago!
"He is in cahoots with Fang Yuan?"
The eyes of many Overlord Commandery cultivators turned red when they heard this.
Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor looked at Dao Lord White Bones in bewilderment. He knew more about this person than everyone else, but it wasn't by much.
Was White-Haired Demon Monarch's guess correct?
Was he really the culprit who caused Gu Chen's Origin of Nature to be seized?
"Back then, the enemy was too powerful. In order to preserve the last trace of hope, I could only choose to compromise."
Li Wuwei sent out his divine sense, and a sad and desolate emotion lingered around him.
"In order to preserve this trace of hope, I watched as many outstanding juniors of the Ninth Realm walked into the Door of Dao Decay, and even became the accomplices of the evildoers."
"Do you think I will believe your nonsense? Back then, you were just afraid of death! "The White-Haired Demon Monarch rebuked angrily.
"Do you know who stopped you from interfering in the Ninth Realm's matters a million years ago and asked you to wait patiently? A million years later, who guided you to the Ninth Realm again and met this child? "
Li Wuwei said meaningfully.
The White-Haired Demon Monarch was shocked, and his face showed disbelief. "It's you …"
"Although you came from the Tyrant Clan, you had many conflicts with them back then. There are some things you don't know."
Li Wuwei continued. The White-Haired Demon Monarch's anger suddenly disappeared, and his expression became uncertain.
"If I don't know, then how much do you know?" The White-Haired Demon Monarch murmured.
"The Tyrant Clan entrusted their last hope to me."
Li Wuwei's concise words moved the White-Haired Demon Monarch's expression. "Why? Why did they do that? "
"Because they saw in me the possibility of resuming their path."
Li Wuwei slowly walked towards Gu Chen's coffin. The White-Haired Demon Monarch did not stop him. At this moment, his mind was in chaos.
"That was originally just an idea, a guess, a bet made when there was no other way out."
"The Tyrants gambled their entire race, and I also gambled the Ninth Realm. All of our hopes, which spanned millions of years, were finally pinned on him."
Li Wuwei came to the front of Gu Chen's coffin. The cultivators of the Tyrant County hesitated whether they should make a move or not. At this moment, they heard something that they would never forget.
"I can resurrect him. Are you willing to lend me a hand?"
