Chapter 434

Returning to the celestial palace, Gu Chen had thought that there was no one here, so he didn't expect to see Killing God Qing Lin.

When the news of Celestial Thearch's death and Senior Qing Lin's death came, Gu Chen was grieved. He never thought that he would see Killing God Qing Lin again in this life.

"Senior, are you alive?"

Gu Chen asked excitedly. He had heard Celestial Thearch's voice just now, but it was left behind by the other party's divine ability, so even though he saw Killing God Qing Lin, he didn't dare to be sure that he was alive.

"I'm still alive, there's no need to doubt."

Killing God Qing Lin didn't change much compared to the past. If there was anything, it was that he gave off a more profound aura.

"Senior, what's going on?"

Gu Chen stepped forward and used his divine sense to examine Senior Qing Lin. He found that his body was full of vitality, and he was indeed alive. Gu Chen couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

"It was His Majesty who saved me before he died."

Killing God Qing Lin's expression became somewhat sad. "That day, His Majesty fought with Huangfu Wuji, and I also fought with the Man with a Bamboo Hat and a group of Dark Sky Guards. In the end, we were no match and almost died."

Killing God Qing Lin explained truthfully. It turned out that when he died, the old Celestial Thearch also burned his vitality and borrowed the power of the Stone of Time.

Other than using his life's power to send the celestial palace into the river of time, and using the Heavenly Scripture to seal Huangfu Wuji's astrological hand, he also transferred his vitality to Killing God Qing Lin.

Although Killing God Qing Lin's body was almost destroyed, he was a Celestial Being expert, and his Yuan Shen was still there.

Before Celestial Thearch died, he froze the time that belonged to his body, delaying the collapse of his vitality, and then transferred his remaining vitality to him to change Qing Lin's fate.

Killing God Qing Lin chose to die with the old Celestial Thearch, but how could the old Celestial Thearch be willing to watch him die young?

Killing God Qing Lin didn't know any of this. When he woke up, his body had recovered, and his Yuan Shen returned to his body, he understood the old Celestial Thearch's good intentions.

Since then, the Green Unicorn Killing God had been with the Heavenly Palace, drifting in the river of time, waiting for the day it would return to the world.

In the River of Time, he could not feel the flow of time at all. The Green Qilin Killing God could only cultivate bitterly while waiting.

He had thought that he would never be able to return to the present world. He did not expect that the Celestial Palace would return to the present world today. He also saw Gu Chen and heard the voice of the old Celestial Emperor.

When Gu Chen learned the truth from the Green Qilin Killing God, he was overjoyed but also mourned for the old Celestial Emperor.

The old Celestial Emperor was far-sighted and had spent his whole life working for the Celestial Court. He sacrificed himself to leave a glimmer of hope for them.

He even used his remaining life force to save the Green Qilin Killing God.

"If it weren't for saving me, perhaps the old Sky Emperor would have found a way to escape."

Killing God Qing Lin said. Sometimes, he thought that his insistence on staying behind back then might have been a mistake. Instead, he had dragged down the old Heaven Emperor.

He was alive, but the old Heaven Emperor was truly dead, and there was no way for him to be resurrected.

"The will of the old Heaven Emperor has been carried on by you, senior. As long as the Celestial Court and the Heavenly Palace still exist, he will live forever."

Gu Chen comforted him.

The Green Qilin Killing God nodded and looked at the magnificent Heavenly Palace. "Yes, His Majesty burned himself in the end. His essence, Qi, and soul have all been integrated into this world."

"Gu Chen, you have gained the recognition of the old Heaven Emperor. From now on, you will be the second Heaven Emperor. If you don't mind, let me crown you."

The Green Qilin Killing God said seriously.

The Celestial Emperor succession ceremony should be very solemn. This was the inheritance of the era. He hoped to fulfill the last wish of the old Heaven Emperor.

"It is my great honor to be crowned by Senior Qing Lin."

Gu Chen replied with a smile.

Senior Qing Lin was like a teacher, a father, and a friend to him. No one in the Celestial Court was more qualified than him to crown him.

The Green Qilin Killing God nodded and held a simple coronation ceremony for Gu Chen in the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches.

"From now on, Daoist Gu Chen will be crowned as the second Heaven Emperor of the Celestial Court. He will wield the will of heaven and command the world!"

The Green Qilin Killing God announced. When he finished speaking, the Nine-Heavenly Palace seemed to have sensed it.

Somehow, Gu Chen had developed a subtle connection with the Heavenly Palace.

"Gu Chen, only those who have obtained the complete inheritance of the Heaven Emperor's Time Fist are qualified to be the next Heaven Emperor. Follow me."

The Green Qilin Killing God said and led the way.

The two arrived at the Flowing Time Dojo. The ancient Stone of Time stood there quietly.

Ever since the old Heaven Emperor died, the Stone of Time had been silent.

Now that Gu Chen had arrived, it seemed to have sensed him and burst out with a bright light.

A vast and boundless power enveloped Gu Chen. Shadows of the past self, present self, and future self appeared around Gu Chen again. His eyes shone brightly.

The Celestial Emperor had already left behind the inheritance. Now that the new Celestial Emperor had succeeded the throne, Gu Chen had already fulfilled all the conditions to receive the inheritance. The ultimate technique, "Celestial Emperor's Time Fist", was imprinted into Gu Chen's mind in a strange way.

Gu Chen couldn't help but close his eyes and quietly comprehend the complete Heaven Emperor's inheritance.

The Green Qilin Killing God watched silently from the side. When the old Heaven Emperor saved him before he died, he also received a part of the Heaven Emperor's inheritance.

In the past, killing gods would never be given the Heaven Emperor's secret technique. He was the only exception.

If not for the more suitable Gu Chen, the Green Qilin Killing God would have been the new Heaven Emperor.

At this moment, looking at Gu Chen, the Green Qilin Killing God only felt gratified and complacent.

This was a talent that he had personally recommended to the old Heaven Emperor. Gu Chen didn't disappoint him. He believed that under Gu Chen's leadership, the Celestial Court would definitely be able to recover to its former glory. It might even be more resplendent.

After several hours, Gu Chen finally imprinted the inheritance completely in his mind.

The Heaven Emperor's Time Fist was a powerful dao art that involved the Laws of Time. In terms of difficulty, it wasn't inferior to the Sun Moon Refining Secret Technique.

When Gu Chen finished absorbing the inheritance, the Light Shadow Stone in front of him projected a series of illusions, causing Gu Chen's pupils to suddenly contract!

Those illusions were scenes. They were scenes of the peak battle between the old Heaven Emperor and Huangfu Wuji before his death.

Under the recording of the Light Shadow Stone, the process of the battle between the two was imprinted without a single mistake, including the power of each of Huangfu Wuji's extreme organs. It was displayed in front of Gu Chen's eyes.

Gu Chen was moved. The battle between the old Heaven Emperor and Huangfu Wuji was truly rare. He could feel the strength of both sides even through the images.

The old Heaven Emperor had recovered to the peak of his prime with the power of the Time Fist. His style could be said to be world-shaking.

However, Huangfu Wuji was even more terrifying. Each of his seven extreme organs possessed unfathomable power. Coupled with the Kunlun Thearch Sword and Kunlun Mirror, he could be said to have almost no flaws.

Such a great enemy had far surpassed the level of an ordinary Heaven Realm expert. It was no wonder that the old Heaven Emperor died with a grievance.
