Chapter 871

"How many of my old friends are still alive?" The Desolate Celestial General's bleak voice was heard.

"Most of them have turned to dust, while the whereabouts of some are unknown," Li Shunyu replied with a complicated expression.

"Is there any news of the Celestial Emperors?" he asked again.

Li Shunyu shook his head. The other Celestial Generals' expressions darkened as well.

The Desolate Celestial General said after a moment of silence. "If that's the case, the Celestial Court is currently in a period of crisis. You still want to suppress my successor?"

Li Shunyu hurriedly explained. "Big Brother Desolate, you're too serious. An uncut jade will not be useful. Gu Chen is too young, I also want to …"

"You don't need to say anymore. I understand what you mean. However, I will naturally arrange the path for my successor. Neither you nor that little brat Tang Ning has the right."

The Desolate Celestial General's tone was overbearing. Tang Ning revealed a flattering smile. "Senior, are you satisfied with the successor I sent to you?"

"Hmph, you've grown up now. How dare you scheme against me?" The Desolate Celestial General feigned dissatisfaction.

"Junior wouldn't dare. It's just that the Celestial Court has been dormant for a long time. It needs someone like senior to come back and take charge."

The other Celestial Generals were speechless at Tang Ning's words. His flattery was quite effective.

"I've already agreed to the battle with the Desolate God. I will naturally return in the near future," the Desolate Celestial General said.

Heavenly General Huang said. His words jolted the spirits of all the Heavenly Generals.

The Desolate Celestial General was a powerhouse who had survived since the Primordial Era. When he was active, even the oldest Li Shunyu hadn't shown his brilliance yet. It could be said that he was a legend.

The return of the Celestial Emperor's right-hand man was naturally a good thing when the Celestial Court was about to reappear.

"However, I still need some time. Before I return, let Gu Chen take my place as a Celestial General," the Desolate Celestial General added.

"What? Let him become a Heavenly General? "Everyone present was stunned.

How old was Gu Chen? He had only been a Heavenly Soldier for a few years. It was already a special case that he was appointed by Tang Ning as the deputy commander of the Battle Wolf Celestial Army. But now, Heaven General Desolation wanted him to take his position!

What did this mean?

This meant that he would have a place in the Heavenly Melody Chamber, which symbolized the highest authority of the Celestial Court. He would be on equal footing with everyone present!

"Hahaha, that's possible, it's possible!" Tang Ning laughed heartily. He didn't care that Gu Chen was on the same level as him.

"Big bro Huang, this doesn't conform to the rules. If we do as you say, it will incur the dissatisfaction of many people within the Celestial Court. It might not necessarily be a good thing for Gu Chen either." Li Shunyu shook his head.

"Rules? The Immortal Realm has long been destroyed. Some outdated rules should have been abolished a long time ago. What we should focus on now is making good use of people. "The Desolate Celestial General scoffed.

"Senior, even if we all agree to let Gu Chen take your place as a Heavenly General, it won't do. Only with the unanimous approval of the members of the Heavenly Melody Chamber can he have any authority. Otherwise, it would be meaningless even if he took the position."

The Empyrean Maiden spoke up.

"You're a descendant of the Empyrean Maiden?" The Desolate Celestial General spread out his Divine Telekinesis. He sensed the Empyrean Maiden's aura and identified her.

"Since that's the case, I'll initiate a meeting at the Heavenly Melody Chamber to approve this decision," the Desolate Celestial General continued. He had made up his mind to let Gu Chen be the Heavenly General.

"Senior, I'm still too young." Gu Chen was very surprised. He didn't have much ambition for the position of Heavenly General, so he tried to smooth things over.

"Forgive me for being presumptuous."

The Empyrean Maiden didn't show any fear in the face of the Desolate Celestial General. "With Senior's status and experience, calling a meeting at the Heavenly Melody Chamber is not a problem at all. However, if you want more than 25% of the members to agree to let Gu Chen take over as the Heavenly General, just your prestige alone won't be enough. Gu Chen himself has to contribute enough to the Celestial Court and have a certain level of prestige. "

The Desolate Celestial General responded indifferently. "This time, Gu Chen's performance on the battlefield was extremely outstanding. It's because of him that the Heartless Ape Clan owes you a favor. Isn't that a great contribution?"

"That's right. This time, he was indeed unexpected. However, it's not a big deal if the Heartless Ape Clan owes us a favor. Unless they join the Celestial Court or form an alliance with us, this contribution is still not enough." The Empyrean Maiden didn't give up.

"If that's the case, Gu Chen, make a trip to the Heartless Ape Clan's ancestral planet!"

The Desolate Celestial General suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen revealed a look of surprise.

"This little monkey's background is far beyond your imagination. If you want to keep him by your side, you must make a trip to the Heartless Ape Clan's ancestral planet.

"Let me tell you clearly that keeping him by your side is as difficult as making the Heartless Ape Clan form an alliance with the Celestial Court. Since that's the case, go and do this while you're at it.

"I believe that many of your questions will be answered in the Heartless Ape Clan's ancestral planet."

The Desolate Celestial General said earnestly.

Gu Chen's heart rippled as he looked at White Ape, who was following closely behind him.

Why did White Ape lose his memory of him? What kind of past did he have? These were all things that Gu Chen was curious about.

White Ape was reluctant to part with him, and the Great Ape Immortal Venerable and the others wanted to take him away. If he wanted to keep him by his side, perhaps he could only make a trip to the Heartless Ape Clan.

Gu Chen believed that the Desolate Celestial General wouldn't harm him, so he nodded. "Alright, I'm willing to make a trip to the Heartless Ape Clan and try to win their alliance."

The six Celestial Generals were speechless when they heard Gu Chen's promise. If he could really make the Heartless Ape Clan return, then with his great contribution and the Desolate Celestial General's recommendation, he was indeed qualified to hold a meeting at the Heavenly Music Parlor!

"Alright, it's settled then. If Gu Chen can really make the Heartless Ape Clan abandon their past prejudice, then Big Brother Huang and I will recommend him to be the Desolate Celestial General's representative." Li Shunyu made the final decision, and the others had no objections.

"Alright, I believe that Gu Chen won't disappoint us."

The Desolate Celestial General's Divine Will slowly dissipated, and before it disappeared, it spoke in Gu Chen's mind. "You can only rely on yourself now. Take care."

"Senior, when will you appear?" Gu Chen was a little reluctant. If not for the Vine Progenitor, he might have already died on the Desolate God Planet.

He had only met him once, but he was greatly indebted to him.

Now, before the Vine Progenitor's Divine Will dissipated, he fought for a chance to become a Celestial General.

"There's no need to ask. When the time is right, you and I will naturally meet again." When the Desolate Celestial General finished speaking, the green mark on Gu Chen's forehead disappeared completely.

He had completely mastered the Desolate Celestial General's inheritance, so the mark naturally dissipated along with his Divine Will.

"Since it's settled, you can leave now. I believe everyone in the Heartless Ape Clan is waiting for you." Li Shunyu looked at Gu Chen.

"Senior, I still have something to ask you."

Gu Chen recovered from the regret of the Vine Progenitor's departure, and his eyes became serious and serious.

"What do you want to ask?" Li Shunyu raised his eyebrows.

"The Pure Spirit Kingdom!"
