Chapter 1693

The plan to cross the sea was officially put on the agenda.

Gu Chen arranged the affairs of the Eternal Immortal World and the Myriad Kingdoms and bid farewell to his family.

The crew members who were about to follow him also took care of their own affairs to ensure that they would not leave any regrets before they left.

It was hard to say whether they would live or die, and they might never return, so everyone cherished their last moments.

The day of the sea crossing was set for the day after the winter solstice, not too far away.

Within the Myriad Kingdoms, almost no one knew that the Celestial Thearch was about to leave. Gu Chen deliberately blocked the news.

After he left, a decree would be issued that he would retire behind the scenes and let Young Emperor Gu Yi handle the affairs of the Immortal World on his behalf.

For the past century, Gu Chen had taught Gu Yi personally. He was convinced that his character and temperament were enough to win the trust and respect of the people of the Myriad Kingdoms.

And with the help of the Celestial Thearch Token and many old friends, the peace of the Myriad Kingdoms was ensured.

Gu Chen believed that even if he was gone, the Myriad Kingdoms would still prosper, especially the Eternal Immortal World, which would usher in a period of rapid development.

Gu Chen had done his best for the world. In the last days before he left, he chose to spend all his time with his family.

Ji Lanchu had long known the reason why Gu Chen had to go to the Primordial Chaos Dao World. Although she was reluctant and nervous, she firmly supported him.

Gu Yi was also mature and sensible. He promised his father that he would take good care of his family and govern the Immortal World.

Only the sixteen-year-old Gu Yunluo learned that her father was about to leave, and that he did not know when he would return. She was extremely sad and could not accept it.

Gu Chen could only comfort her and make a lot of promises. It took him several days to get the girl to agree to this matter.

On the day of the winter solstice, Gu Chen followed the customs of his hometown on the Ancient Pale Yellow Planet. He sat around the stove with his family and ate hot glutinous balls.

Glutinous balls meant reunion, but for the Gu family, this might be their last reunion.

The atmosphere was inevitably a little gloomy. Gu Yunluo's eyes were red. Thinking that her father would leave early the next morning, the delicious glutinous balls in her bowl lost their taste.

"Why are you so sad? It's not like I won't return after I leave. "

Gu Chen tried his best to talk cheerfully in front of his family, not showing any sadness.

In fact, when it was time to leave, he was more worried than anyone else.

Gu Yi was fine as he had already grown up, but Yun Luo was still too young.

Gu Chen regretted spending too little time with this girl in the past 61 years. If he left this time, he might not be able to see her get married with his own eyes.

He wondered which rascal would be so lucky to be able to woo his daughter in the future.

"Daddy, when can you come back?"

Gu Yunluo's eyes were filled with tears, and she could not help but sob.

In fact, she had asked this question countless times in the past few days, but Gu Chen could not give an accurate answer.

What Gu Chen was about to do in the Primordial Dao World was destined to be a long and arduous journey. It was possible that he would never be able to achieve his goal in his lifetime.

"I'll go home as soon as possible." Gu Chen could only softly comfort her.

"A hundred years, or a thousand years?" Gu Yun Luo was clearly not satisfied with Gu Chen's answer.

Gu Chen was silent for a while.

He had learned a lot about the situation in the Primordial Dao World from Zhou Fengling. The lifespans of the creatures there were generally very long. A hundred years or a thousand years were but a blink of an eye. As an outsider, could he easily change everything that was deeply rooted in such a short time?

Seeing that Gu Chen did not respond, Gu Yunluo immediately knew the answer.

She wiped her tears and gritted her teeth. "Then Yun Luo must cultivate well and live long enough. When Daddy comes back, Yun Luo will be more powerful than Big Brother!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen laughed. The whole family was also amused.

"Little Yun Luo, you have to work hard. Big Brother is not that easy to surpass." Gu Yi snorted coldly.

"I'm much more powerful than you, Big Brother. Just you wait and see!"

Gu Yunluo put on a tsundere expression and pointed her finger at Gu Yi.

She was telling the truth. Although Gu Yi was older than her, he could not compare to her in terms of the Tyrant bloodline.

This was mainly because when Gu Yunluo was born, Gu Chen had already awakened the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body. As a result, after Gu Yunluo was born, the concentration of the Tyrant bloodline was far higher than that of the previous Tyrants, even Gu Chen.

Gu Chen, who had the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body, was equivalent to the ancestor of the Tyrants. As the second-generation heir, even if Gu Yunluo did not have the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body, the concentration of the bloodline in her was extremely shocking.

Although she was only 61 years old, she was not far from Gu Yi in terms of the development of the Overlord Body.

Of course, although Gu Yi was not as strong as the little girl in terms of the Overlord Body bloodline, he was far better than her in terms of comprehension, willpower, and other aspects.

This was all thanks to Gu Chen who had brought him along to cultivate for a hundred years. After his Heavenly Soul was replenished, his comprehension was extremely terrifying, allowing him to make rapid progress in the cultivation of the Natural Origin Source.

The son and daughter of the Gu Family were both talented geniuses. Gu Chen was very satisfied watching them quarrel.

That night, everyone gradually put aside the sadness of parting, and the Gu Family's courtyard was filled with endless laughter …

The next day, Gu Chen set off on time.

At the Southern Heavenly Gate of the Eternal Immortal World, all the cultivators who were about to board the ship had arrived early.

Ge Huang, the Evil Shark Emperor, and the others could not hide the excited smiles on their faces. They had been looking forward to this day for a hundred years, and now, their wish was finally going to come true.

The group of members of the Tyrant County knew each other well and were enthusiastically discussing the topic of the Dao World. However, there was a young man who stood alone in the corner, looking out of place.

He was dressed in a black robe, and his face was more exquisite and handsome than a woman's. However, his eyes were exceptionally cold, and they were so cold that no one dared to approach him.

A long time after everyone had gathered, Gu Chen bid farewell to his family and arrived late.

As soon as he arrived at the Southern Heavenly Gate, his gaze swept through the crowd, and his eyes fell on the black-robed young man.

He walked up to the young man, who had a solemn expression on his face when he saw him, and bowed respectfully.

"Shijie greets Your Majesty, the Celestial Emperor."

The black-robed young man was Fang Shijie, who had lost his father a hundred years ago.

A hundred years ago, he had been saved by Zhou Fengling, who had then handed him over to the Tyrant County.

At the beginning, Fang Shijie had believed that Gu Chen had caused his father's death because of the pain of losing his father, and he had been brooding over it all this time.

Later, as he slowly calmed down, and under Gu Chen's instructions, the Tyrant County had always treated him with respect, he gradually understood everything.

He had known that the person back then was not Gu Chen at all.

That person was proficient in the Fang Family's Fate Changing Art, and even his father had believed that he was a member of the Fang Family. How could he be related to Gu Chen?

Later, when he found out that the person back then was his missing uncle, Fang Yuan, his heart broke down.

He had never imagined that the useless uncle he had looked down on back then had hidden his strength so deeply.

Fang Yuan's strength had shocked him, but what he could not accept was the way he had treated his father.
