Chapter 673

"Li Yuan?" The white-clad girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately smiled at the dozen or so children beside her: "Everyone, go play to the side first."

"Teacher, who is that big brother?"

"I've never seen him before."

"Is he Teacher's boyfriend?"

"How did he get into the school? Didn't the security guard stop him?" This group of eight or nine-year-old children chattered and discussed, but they all obediently walked to the side.

The white-clad girl walked up to Li Yuan.

"Sister Senior Gu You, I didn't expect you to actually come and be an elementary school teacher," Li Yuan smiled. This cave-heaven world was quite vast, much larger than the Blue Star of the past.

What was nurtured inside was a technological civilization. Although it also involved cultivation, the peak experts were only at the Flying Heaven level.

A long time ago, after Senior Gu You could no longer help him, Li Yuan, after seeking her opinion, let her come to this cave-heaven world.

To live freely.

It could be said that everything in this cave-heaven world was completely controlled by Senior Gu You, but she had transformed into various identities and had been a teacher all along.

At this moment.

Whoosh~ The space vibrated slightly, and a green-clad phantom also appeared, quite pleasantly surprised: "Big Brother, you've come to see Sister Senior Gu You?"

"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded with a smile.

The green-clad girl was exactly one of Liu Bing's incarnations.

She and Senior Gu You were acquainted, so she had always left an incarnation in the cave-heaven world as a form of companionship.

Back then.

Senior Gu You and Venerable Venerable Qiu Bing had both spent a lot of effort for Li Yuan and Liu Bing's cultivation.

"Being with these children every day makes me feel much happier," Senior Gu You smiled: "Li Yuan, you came to me because?"

"Sister Senior Gu You, I have retrieved the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor," Li Yuan said.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan waved his hand, and the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor appeared in the void. The massive aura belonging to the Divine Armor was completely suppressed by Li Yuan, and it just hovered there quietly.

"The Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor? Yes! That's it!" Senior Gu You's body trembled slightly, and there were faint tears in the corners of her eyes.

She was originally the 'spirit' nurtured within the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor.

Upon seeing the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor, she immediately sensed the intense feeling of summoning between them.

"This is the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor?" Liu Bing's incarnation watched curiously; she naturally knew the significance of this battle armor to Senior Gu You.

"Sister Senior Gu You, take it," Li Yuan smiled: "Let your origin return to the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor as well... From now on, this Divine Armor will never be lost again."

Whoosh!

Senior Gu You did not hesitate, turning into a stream of light and flying into the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor. The next instant, the Divine Armor erupted with endless brilliant light... and with a thought from Li Yuan, both of them had arrived in the outer void of the cave-heaven world.

Here, it would not affect the living beings within the cave-heaven world.

Hum~ The Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor emitted layers of powerful fluctuations, while Li Yuan observed carefully, sensing the power of the Divine Armor's origin continuously rising.

"Inheritance Divine Artifacts are indeed special."

"Before, the Divine Armor had lost its spirituality for so long that its origin had begun to nurture a new spirit, but it hadn't yet given birth to wisdom... Now that Sister Senior Gu You has returned, she can control it again," Li Yuan thought to himself.

Having reached Li Yuan's current realm, he already understood the mysteries of so-called 'Inheritance Divine Artifacts'.

Starry Sky God Emperor had once forged many Starry Sky Ancient Cities, taking root in many Star Domains... These Starry Sky Ancient Cities essentially possessed a small amount of the power of a 'Star Domain Lord'.

Precisely because of this, the many small worlds within the Starry Sky Ancient Cities could nurture a massive number of living beings with the help of the Star Domain's origin, which was also the foundation of the Starry Sky Divine Court.

And Inheritance Divine Artifacts were able to mobilize a sliver of the Star Domain's origin power within their own Star Domain, so their power was not insignificant.

Although every Inheritance Divine Artifact was only a top-grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, within its own Star Domain, its power was no less than a low-grade King weapon... Those Starry Sky Ancient City Lords could each erupt with astonishing strength.

In fact.

Like Li Yuan, if he were willing, as a Star Domain Lord, he could forge a pile of 'Inheritance Divine Artifacts' exclusive to the Mohe Star Domain.

However, these Inheritance Divine Artifacts only had such power in the Mohe Star Domain... Once they left the Mohe Star Domain, they were just normal top-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts.

After a long while.

Whoosh! Senior Gu You reappeared, and the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor had covered her body, causing her to emit a quite special aura.

Li Yuan could see that this was actually just a form of Senior Gu You's use of the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor as an artifact spirit... The power erupted autonomously by a top-grade Heavenly Divine Artifact was difficult for even a True God to subdue at will.

In short, Senior Gu You's strength at this moment had barely reached the True God level.

Of course.

As an artifact spirit, there were also disadvantages. Once subdued by an enemy and the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor was completely refined, she would naturally be forced to recognize a new master.

However, with Li Yuan's protection, Senior Gu You had no such worries.

"Li Yuan, thank you," Senior Gu You was quite excited: "Father's greatest wish back then was to retrieve the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor."

"To be able to find it back, you must have paid a considerable price."

Li Yuan sighed in his heart.

In terms of feelings, Senior Gu You and True God Deity Gu Ju were indeed very deep. She was the artifact spirit nurtured by True God Deity Gu Ju from the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor, and the two were like father and daughter.

As for Li Yuan, although his relationship with Senior Gu You was also very good, and at the beginning they even 'called each other brother and sister', later, as Li Yuan's strength soared, Senior Gu You naturally became increasingly in awe of Li Yuan... However, at Li Yuan's request, she still called him by his name.

There was no help for it.

Li Yuan's growth was too rapid... He essentially hadn't spent much time with Senior Gu You before he far exceeded the scope of what Senior Gu You could help him with.

Although Li Yuan was full of gratitude toward Senior Gu You.

But in Senior Gu You's subconscious, her relationship with Li Yuan wasn't that deep, so naturally, she didn't dare to be too casual.

"I didn't pay any price for this Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor; King Huozhu sent it voluntarily," Li Yuan smiled.

"King Huozhu?" Senior Gu You was stunned.

A King?

All these years, she had stayed in this cave-heaven world, only occasionally communicating with Liu Bing, and still knew very little about the outside world.

"He is the mastermind behind the destruction of the Ancient City of Ten Thousand Dragons..." Li Yuan was very patient and recounted the entire cause and effect of the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor.

"So that's how it is." Senior Gu You finally understood completely: "The Ancient City of Ten Thousand Dragons exterminated King Huozhu's sect and relatives, and later it was destroyed by King Huozhu. Perhaps this is karma."

"Li Yuan."

"It's good that you reconciled with King Huozhu. There's no need to delve further into the destruction of the Ancient City of Ten Thousand Dragons. After all, your relationship with the Ancient City of Ten Thousand Dragons is very shallow," Senior Gu You said: "By resolving the grudge, you also have one less King enemy."

"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded.

He could see that Senior Gu You didn't care much about the reason for the destruction of the Ancient City of Ten Thousand Dragons... After all, when she was born with wisdom, True God Deity Gu Ju was already fleeing.

She only cared about True God Deity Gu Ju.

As for the Ancient City of Ten Thousand Dragons? She didn't have any special feelings for it.

In fact, Li Yuan didn't care about the Ancient City of Ten Thousand Dragons either... When he went to the Ten Thousand Daos Divine Court to hunt down Heavenly God God Qing Mo, it was only to avenge 'True God Deity Gu Ju' and repay the karma of True God Deity Gu Ju's teaching.

This was also one of the reasons why Li Yuan finally chose to reconcile with King Huozhu when he came to apologize this time.

In the end, it was hard to say that the destruction of the Ancient City of Ten Thousand Dragons was King Huozhu's fault.

"Sister Senior Gu You."

"After some time, I will help you break free from the shackles of the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor and become a living puppet," Li Yuan said: "It should be similar to Huohuang."

Although the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor was good, it was a top-grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, and it would eventually decay one day.

Once the origin of the Divine Armor collapsed, Senior Gu You, as the artifact spirit, would naturally head toward silence.

"Huohuang? Possessing an endless lifespan and the strength of a Divine Lord?" Senior Gu You was surprised; she also knew of Huohuang's existence.

"No need."

"Li Yuan... to become such a powerful living puppet, I'm afraid you'll have to pay a huge price," Senior Gu You shook her head: "Your own cultivation is important; there's no need to use precious resources on me. For me, being able to retrieve the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor, I have no regrets."

"For me, turning you into a living puppet at that time won't be difficult at all," Li Yuan laughed.

"Sister Senior Gu You."

"I forgot to tell you," Liu Bing interrupted from the side: "Big Brother is no longer what he used to be! Not long ago, in the battle of Beichen Star, a whole bunch of Kings fell at Big Brother's hands. Although becoming a living puppet is rare, for Big Brother, it shouldn't be difficult."

"A bunch of Kings fell at Li Yuan's hands?" Senior Gu You was stunned.

She had some vision, so she naturally knew what a King meant. That was a peak existence in the Divine Realm, capable of shifting stars and destroying countless stars with a flick of a finger.

In her subconscious, although she believed Li Yuan could become a King, it should have been a long time later.

"Really?" Senior Gu You couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded with a smile.

Whoosh!

Senior Gu You took a deep breath and suddenly understood why Li Yuan had been so casual when talking about King Huozhu just now.

It was just that she had been immersed in the joy of the return of the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Armor just now and hadn't paid much attention.

"Alright."

"If becoming a living puppet isn't a big burden for you, Li Yuan, then that's fine," Senior Gu You said. She actually didn't care much about these things.

Whether as an artifact spirit or a living puppet, it didn't make much difference to her.

"Also."

"Sister Senior Gu You, and Little Bing," Li Yuan also looked at Liu Bing on the side: "If one day in the future, I reach the God Emperor realm, if I can reverse time... I will be able to resurrect Master Deity Gu Ju and Venerable Venerable Qiu Bing."

There was a prerequisite for resurrecting the deceased.

That was that they did not die a natural death and still had 'remaining lifespan'... Otherwise, once resurrected, under the operation of the rules of heaven and earth, they would still die.

"Resurrect Father?" Senior Gu You's eyes lit up.

"Venerable Venerable Qiu Bing, can he also be resurrected?" Liu Bing was equally excited: "Big Brother, can you really reverse time? I've never heard of it."

Even with Liu Bing's vision, she had never heard of resurrecting the deceased.

"Naturally, it's true."

"However, it's very difficult," Li Yuan said: "Looking at the Divine Realm, although there are many God Emperors, those who can do it are few and far between, and every resurrection requires a huge price, so it's very rare to see the dead resurrected."

"I don't dare to say I can definitely do it."

"I can only say there is hope," Li Yuan said.

"Understood."

"Hmm." Liu Bing and Senior Gu You both nodded repeatedly. For them, having even a little hope was very good.

When Li Yuan's incarnation was communicating with Senior Gu You in the cave-heaven world.

Inside the Divine Boat.

As time passed, teams from all major factions had arrived one after another, and it had been a long time since any new teams had arrived.

And this unprecedented celebration finally began.

There were over a hundred Kings present in their true bodies; more than half of the contemporary Kings in the Divine Realm had come here... If one counted the 'Heavenly God puppets' controlled by Kings from other major factions in the Eighth Dark Domain, there were nearly a thousand Kings participating in the celebration.

As for Heavenly Gods?

The number of Heavenly Gods attending the banquet exceeded one hundred thousand, coming from all universes... most didn't even have seats.

Unprecedented scale!

And amidst a solemn and dignified atmosphere, Li Yuan also received the 'Palace Master Token' from King Dongmang, obtaining the highest authority of the Juexing Emperor Palace.

It was also officially announced that he had become one of the contemporary power-holders of the Chaos Divine Court.

After the ceremony.

It was the banquet... although there were fixed seats, many Kings were communicating casually, which was a rare opportunity for them to communicate.

The Heavenly Gods were even more so; such a grand event indeed greatly broadened their horizons.

However.

Like King Zihuo, he was quite aloof, drinking alone. Only a few peak King experts like King Xueyan could make him pay a little attention.

Other Kings?

Even if peak King experts like King Brother Xing He came to toast, he didn't care at all, not even bothering to pick up his wine glass... This was the status brought by absolute strength.

"King Mingyu, thank you for the action on Beichen Star before," Li Yuan raised his glass and smiled: "If there is anything I can help with, just say it, I will definitely do my best."

King Mingyu was the contemporary King leader of the Yanyun Divine Court.

During the war on the surface of Beichen Star before, the Yanyun Divine Court had joined forces with the Chaos Divine Court to launch an action against the Abyss Divine Court.

"Mutual benefit, it was just a small dispute among Heavenly Gods." King Mingyu was a female King, incomparably beautiful, and her whole body exuded a special sense of charm; just standing there could make one's heart beat faster.

Li Yuan understood that this was because the other party had opened up the high-tier Eternal Dao, the 'Taiyin Dao'.

This Dao was very special.

In the dark, it had a fatal temptation for countless living beings.

"Brother Xinyuan."

"Speaking of which, there is indeed something I need to ask of you," King Mingyu smiled: "I want to exchange a special token from Heavenly God Qing Tian Bing for one thousand Eternal Crystals. I heard that Heavenly God Qing Tian Bing is your sworn sister."

"Little Bing? Exchanging a token?" Li Yuan was puzzled in his heart.

When did Little Bing get involved with King Mingyu?

And, it was worth King Mingyu taking out one thousand Eternal Crystals? This wealth didn't mean much to Li Yuan.

But for a Heavenly God, it would definitely make them go crazy!

"Alright."

"I need you to tell me the details. What is this token? Why is it in the hands of Heavenly God Qing Tian Bing?" Li Yuan said directly.

Quickly.

King Mingyu explained the situation, letting Li Yuan understand most of it.

"This matter."

"After the banquet ends, I will call Heavenly God Qing Tian Bing over, and we will talk specifically," Li Yuan said: "After all, this is her treasure, so I must seek her opinion."

"Alright." King Mingyu, having a request, naturally had no objections.

In fact, she was just asking tentatively.

In the territory of the Abyss Divine Court, deep within a vast Star Domain.

Hum~

An invisible fluctuation swept past, and a purple-clad phantom appeared, looking at the vast river in the distance. Countless scarlet snowflakes drifted down over the river, eerie and beautiful.

"Xueye." The purple-clad phantom looked at the river.

"Mingyu, how is it?" A low voice came from the river: "Did King Xinyuan agree?"

"Not yet."

"I told King Xinyuan everything according to the information you gave me, and he is preparing to talk in detail after the banquet," the purple-clad phantom said.

"After the banquet? Alright." King Xueye's voice was low: "Mingyu, do your best to help me negotiate. If you can help me retrieve the token, the karma established before will be considered wiped out."

"Hmm, I will naturally do my best."

"But I'm also curious," King Mingyu said: "You would rather pay such a huge price to take the token... The token is in the hands of a Heavenly God; don't you have a better way? What exactly is this token?"

"What do you know?"

"If there had been a chance before, I would have attacked Heavenly God Qing Tian Bing long ago... but I never found a good opportunity," King Xueye shook his head: "Besides, she is highly valued by King Xinyuan, and I don't want to build up more enmity with King Xinyuan."

"It's best to be able to pay some price to exchange for it."

King Mingyu was thoughtful.

Although the Chaos Divine Court and the Abyss Divine Court were like fire and water... this didn't mean Li Yuan would hate all the Kings of the Abyss Divine Court.

The enmity between Divine Courts and the friendship between Kings actually didn't conflict.

Just like King Mingyu, she had a very good relationship with many Kings of the Chaos Divine Court... but secretly, she also had a very good relationship with King Xueye.

Whoosh!

King Mingyu's incarnation dissipated, leaving only the river suspended in the void, with countless scarlet snowflakes drifting.

"I hope."

"I can get the token smoothly," King Xueye thought to himself, killing intent surging in his heart: "King Xinyuan, if you really don't allow it... then you are forcing me to take action."

He didn't want to fight Li Yuan again.

But when it came to his own cultivation path, King Xueye couldn't care about much else.

This grand celebration lasted for a full ten days.

During these ten days, there were also over 'one hundred thousand' demigod geniuses from Yuanhuo Star and over two thousand Star Domain branches of the Chaos Divine Court, who specifically held an unprecedented 'Demigod Genius Battle' in a small world within the Divine Boat.

The lowest level of those participating was the Eight-Star Pulse.

A thousand Kings and over one hundred thousand Heavenly Gods... watched the battle together, which was definitely a rare opportunity for the one hundred thousand demigod geniuses.

After all, no matter how well they performed on ordinary days, they might not be noticed by Heavenly Gods or even Kings.

And in this Demigod Genius Battle, as long as they could stand out... they might be able to be accepted as disciples by powerful Divine Lords or even Kings.

Finally.

Over three hundred demigod geniuses emerged from the melee of one hundred thousand demigods and were promoted to the 'Duel Battle'.

One duel after another.

Every demigod genius gave their all, wanting to go further and higher in this genius battle.

"That one is not bad."

"Hmm, this little guy's willpower is strong enough to actually block such a strong soul attack."

"That girl using the sword is okay." While communicating, many Kings also commented casually on these fighting geniuses.

At the highest point of the Divine Boat.

Here, there were only a few people like King Zihuo, Li Yuan, and King Dongmang.

"Brother Xinyuan."

"That little girl is using a spear; her spear technique actually has a hint of 'world destruction'. Not bad," King Zihuo smiled.

He was very aloof to others, but quite enthusiastic toward Li Yuan.

"Little girl?" King Dongmang and King Heishi also looked over, only to see the black-clad girl gritting her teeth and fighting desperately with her opponent.

But the situation was not in her favor.

This was only the battle of the top twenty to ten... clearly, she was not one of the top demigods.

"Brother Zihuo."

"In terms of talent and aptitude, this little girl doesn't seem to be the highest in the younger generation of my Chaos Divine Court," Li Yuan smiled.

"Talent and aptitude?"

"What is talent?" King Zihuo shook his head: "They are all Nine-Star Pulses. Does having a higher understanding of laws at the demigod realm mean higher talent? Wrong."

"It's character!"

"And destiny," King Zihuo laughed: "This little girl's destiny is very unusual!"

"Destiny?" Li Yuan, King Dongmang, and King Heishi looked at each other.

They didn't understand.

But King Zihuo's deductive ability was better than many God Emperors... Since he said so, there must be a reason.

"Li Shu?"

"Spear? The mystery of world destruction..." Li Yuan's heart stirred, and all the information about the black-clad girl holding the spear instantly appeared.

Her cultivation path.

Her past.

"Fated with me?" Li Yuan suddenly felt something in his heart; this was a form of destiny guidance from the dark.
