Chapter 382

Primeval Immortal Domain, Gu Family Divine Island.

Immortal light suffused the air, auspicious vapors rose.

Compared to the star region outside that had been blasted into a chaotic wasteland, this place was practically another world.

The spatial channel slowly opened before the Hall of Longevity, Gu Cangsheng had his hands in his sleeves, strides that showed no regard for kin, he was the first to step out, followed by Gu Yuan with a carefree expression, and the utterly relegated-to-background Medicinal God King, who could barely walk.

"Still, the air at home feels comfortable."

Gu Cangsheng drew a deep breath, exhaled a murky breath tinged with gray‑black annihilation‑source power, then casually pulled from his sleeve the bead he had compressed into a glass‑like pearl—the Great Yin Divine Dynasty world.

"Xuan Ce, come lend a hand."

He shouted into the void.

As his words fell, a figure rushed out from a distant formation tower, panting—it was Gu Xuan Ce, sporting two huge black eye circles and hair messy as a bird's nest.

"Ancestor! You… you… where did you… cough, cough, bring back a whole world?"

"Cut the chatter; this thing's a bit messy inside, the heavenly dao laws have been heavily polluted by that rabble—take people, go tidy its ley lines, set up the Zhou Tian Star Doul Great Array, and install it beside the divine island as an outer branch."

Gu Cangsheng casually tossed the "World Pearl" to Gu Xuan Ce, as if throwing a worthless glass marble.

"By the way, the beings inside—let Gu Lin Tian that kid oversee their placement; those willing to submit get incorporated on the spot, those unwilling aren't to be killed but sent to the mining area to dig ore—just right, since our family's been expanding too fast lately and we lack labor."

"Got it!"

Gu Xuan Ce clutched the World Pearl as if it were a priceless treasure, hurried back to the formation tower, and excitedly muttered:

"I can improve my Great Array again; this time I must add a reverse‑invasion module……"

After seeing off Gu Xuan Ce, Gu Cangsheng turned his head to look at Gu Yuan; the imposing aura of a patriarch vanished instantly, replaced by a proud, self‑satisfied expression seeking praise.

"Good grandson, how was that? Grandpa, was this show of force impressive enough?"

"Impressive, extremely impressive."

Gu Yuan gave a thumbs‑up, laughing as he drew from his storage artifact a clump of immortal‑king origin wrapped in the primal power of the World Tree, exuding pure annihilation‑source qi.

This was the last legacy of the Immortal King of the Hidden Spring.

"Grandfather, you've just broken through; your realm isn't stable yet. This thing may have some impurities, but it's still the origin of a Jue Dian Immortal King—take it as a snack to consolidate your cultivation."

"That'll do; I'll count it as filial piety from you, kid."

Gu Cangsheng didn't stand on ceremony either, opening his mouth to swallow the clump of immortal‑king origin, then while refining it he commented: "Hmm, tastes better than that eyeball earlier—has a bit of chew."

Beside him, the Medicinal God King's eyes twitched wildly; his only thought was: "This family—none of them are normal."

Gu Yuan smiled, then took out two slightly smaller but equally pure clumps of immortal‑king origin.

One was from the banner‑bearing immortal king he had blasted away with the Human Emperor's Seal.

The other was from the blood‑robed immortal king he had stomped to death.

He walked up to Gu Lin Tian, who had already rushed over upon hearing the news and was staring excitedly at his father, and handed him one of the clumps.

"Father, when you earlier killed the black‑robed emissary you used your Three‑Lives Metamorphosis Body, suffering considerable origin loss—this immortal‑king origin clump will just make up for it."

Gu Lin Tian looked at the immortal‑king origin his son had handed him, then glanced at his father nearby who was "snacking" on it, and a flood of emotions welled up.

As a father, he had yet to give his son anything substantial, while the son kept running back and forth hauling immortal‑king origins to the family home.

"Good, good son."

Gu Lin Tian accepted the origin; a thousand words reduced to a single reassuring pat on Gu Yuan's shoulder.

Finally, Gu Yuan approached the Medicinal God King and handed him the remaining clump of the banner‑bearing immortal king's origin.

"Senior Medicinal God King, you've worked hard this time—you almost had to burn through your own foundation."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it! To lay down my life for the young master is an honor for this servant!"

The Medicinal God King shuddered in fright, hastily waving his hands—he dared not accept it.

It's a joke—the ancestor and the family head both took theirs; as a mere guest elder, how could he dare to vie with the main family for spoils?

"Take it." Gu Yuan shoved the clump directly into his hand, saying, "If you don't heal up soon, how will you keep refining pills for me? The Gu Family doesn't keep idle people."

"Th… thank you, young master! Thank you, ancestor! This servant will surely give his all, refining pills for the Gu Family for a lifetime!"

The Medicinal God King cradled the immortal‑king origin, tears of excitement streaming down his face, and on the spot swore a great soul oath.

With the spoils divided, the atmosphere inside the Hall of Longevity grew solemn as well.

Gu Yuan recounted in full the events concerning the Immortal King of the Hidden Spring, the Grand Councilor, and the Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge.

Of course, what the Grand Councilor might know was just told by the system.

And after finishing his explanation, the system began to fall asleep.

In that light, transmitting an entire major world seems to have drained the system heavily.

"... That's how it is. I sense that although the Grand Councilor was startled back by you, Grandfather, his will hasn't gone far; before long he'll likely find our approximate location in the Primeval Immortal Domain through some means we don't know."

After hearing Gu Yuan's account, the faces of Gu Lin Tian and the Medicinal God King turned extremely grave.

Such a ruthless, unfathomably deep‑rooted mysterious organization, even possessing more than one major figure, will be the most terrifying enemy the Gu Family has ever faced.

However, Gu Cangsheng merely flicked his ear, nonchalantly tossed a melon seed he'd somehow picked up into his mouth, and bit down with a crisp crack.

"Afraid of a bird."

He spat out the seed shell and slapped the table.

"Soldiers come, we'll meet them; water comes, we'll block it! If the Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge dares to come, I'll make sure they never return—come one, I'll kill one; come a crowd, I'll make them bleed into a river!"

"He likes putting bounties on heads? Fine, I'll do the same! I'll say the head of the Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge's Grand Councilor can be traded for my personal guidance—let's see whose head is worth more!"

This domineering declaration sent the hall's atmosphere surging.

"Dad's right."

Gu Lin Tian's eyes also flashed with a hint of severity: "Our Gu Family never starts trouble, but we also never fear it; now that we've been targeted, pure defense will only leave us reactive."

"Yuan'er, what do you think?" Gu Lin Tian turned his gaze to Gu Yuan.

He knew that although his son's cultivation wasn't the highest, in terms of scheming and layout, no one present could match him.

My idea is very simple.

Gu Yuan stretched out a finger, lightly tapped in the void, and a star map, copied from the memories of the Youquan Immortal King, slowly unfurled.

On the star map, dozens of world coordinates flashing with an eerie red light were clearly marked.

This is, in the memories of the Youquan Immortal King, the next batch of worlds the Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge is about to harvest.

Gu Yuan's mouth curled into a cold arc.

They like to shear wool, don't they? Then we'll get there first and turn all these sheep into our sheep.

We will take the initiative and attack!

Starting today, the business of my Gu Family will be upgraded from vacation to a special campaign to eradicate evil across all heavens and worlds!
