Chapter 95: The tribulation is over

Just as the whole immortal realm tacitly accepted this outcome, preparing to accept the Gu Family as the sole hegemon,

Suddenly, an anomaly arose!

In the direction of the Myriad Gods Hall, a golden divine light, brilliant to the extreme, shot up into the sky without any omen!

That divine light tore through the firmament, pierced the star river, and with an indescribable speed, shot toward the Gu Family Divine Island!

Wherever the divine light passed, space shattered, and myriad wails rang out!

A True Immortal aura, far surpassing the Heavenly Emperor and filled with domineering and destructive will, instantly enveloped the entire Primeval Immortal Realm!

"It's the Primordial God Lord!"

"He has taken action!"

"Could it be that he intends to act against the Gu Family?!"

At this moment, the entire immortal realm, all the powerhouses paying attention to this, were utterly shocked.

They had imagined countless possibilities.

What prevarication and appeasement, submission, loyalty...

Only they had not expected that the Primordial God Lord actually had the audacity to sneak attack one undergoing tribulation right under the Gu Family Ancestor's nose.

Not even attempting any concealment, could this be... to provoke a True Immortal War?!

A supreme war capable of shattering the entire Primeval Immortal Realm, is it about to erupt?!

Countless hearts rose to their throats.

Some nearby minor forces, terrified, scrambled and activated all their Mountain Guarding Great Arrays, fearing the aftermath of the True Immortal War would wipe them out directly.

Although it might be of no use...

Ji Family

Wan You True Immortal rose abruptly, and on her eternally unchanging, peerlessly beautiful face, a solemn expression appeared for the first time.

"Is he mad?"

She also could not fathom why the Primordial God Lord would make such an irrational move.

Could it be that he truly believes he can succeed?

Could he not have realized that the Gu Family Ancestor is waiting for them to act?

Gu Family Divine Island

That heaven‑earth‑destroying golden divine light was already within arm's reach.

Its target was not Gu Lin Tian, who was undergoing the True Immortal tribulation.

But rather... the relatively weaker Jiang Rou!

"Courting death!"

In the Ancestor's eyes, boundless chill burst forth instantly.

He never expected that there would actually be a clueless fool daring to provoke his misfortune at this moment.

He was about to strike, to erase that divine light together with the Primordial God Lord behind it, when he suddenly halted his action.

"Wrong."

Given his understanding of these ancient monsters who have lived countless years, none of them are fools.

The Primordial God Lord could not possibly be unaware of the consequences of a sneak attack.

Moreover, it was a sneak attack with no disguise whatsoever.

Even if he used a treasure to conceal his aura, or had his half‑Immortal subordinates act, the Ancestor would consider that he had made an effort.

But the Primordial God Lord had none of these.

Most importantly, the Ancestor felt no threat whatsoever from that divine light.

"So that's how it is."

The Ancestor's immortal eyes flickered, perceiving the Dao rhythm and half‑Immortal power within the divine light, and a strange smile curled his lips.

He instantly understood the whole story.

"This Primordial... what audacity, how am I supposed to find a reason to act against you," the Ancestor muttered.

The Ancestor shook his head and did not intervene further.

Under the gaze of countless tense, shocked, and bewildered eyes throughout the Primeval Immortal Realm,

The golden divine light, personally emitted by the Primordial God Lord and imbued with True Immortal might, encountered no obstruction, marched straight ahead, and headed directly toward Jiang Rou, who was in the process of condensing the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit.

It came to a halt three inches above Jiang Rou's head.

All destructive aura and domineering will vanished without a trace at that moment.

In their place came a gentle, warm feeling, even... carrying a hint of appeasement.

"Hum—"

The golden light slowly faded.

What appeared was not some heaven‑earth‑shattering killing move.

but a pearl formed entirely of the purest divine‑soul power, sealing within it a half‑Immortal divine soul wailing in pain... a brilliant soul pearl.

Immediately after,

A voice full of majesty yet tinged with a hint of humility echoed throughout the Primeval Immortal Realm.

"Myriad Gods Hall, Primordial, congratulations to the Gu Family matriarch on attaining the Dao and becoming Heavenly Emperor!"

"I have heard that my sovereign's younger brother, Yuan Tu, voluntarily offered his half‑Immortal divine soul to celebrate the Gu Family Heavenly Emperor's rebirth, having the Primordial refine it as a congratulatory gift!"

"May the Gu Family enjoy immortal blessings forever, with longevity equal to heaven!"

"May my Myriad Gods Hall and the Eternal Gu Family forever be on good terms, jointly ruling the immortal realm!"

The voice of Yuanchu, the God Sovereign, transmitted clearly through that soul pearl to every corner of the Immortal Realm.

At that moment, the entire Primordial Immortal Realm.

All beings paying attention to this matter, whether they were ancient monsters who had lived for millions of years or newcomers who had just set foot on the path of cultivation, were all dumbfounded.

They each gaped, their eyeballs bulging round, their jaws dropping to the ground.

What did they hear?

A congratulatory gift?

Yuantu?

Isn't that a half-step True Immortal powerhouse from the Myriad Gods Temple?

Voluntarily offering up his divine soul to forge a supreme treasure?

Eternal friendship?

Who would believe that?!

Who cultivating to half-immortal would willingly offer up their divine soul?!

You know offering up one's divine soul means losing even the chance of reincarnation!

Yuanchu, the God Sovereign, lord of the Myriad Gods Temple and one of the three major powers of the Immortal Realm, a True Immortal powerhouse.

Making such a big move, it frightened the entire Immortal Realm into thinking a True Immortal war was about to break out.

As a result……

Just to come give a gift, and incidentally show loyalty?

And to top it off, the congratulatory gift was made from his own younger brother's divine soul!

What... what kind of operation is this?!

Everyone's brains crashed.

The Ji family.

Wanyi True Immortal's pair of eternally unchanging phoenix eyes also rarely showed a hint of dullness.

The palace-dressed woman behind her directly covered her mouth with her hand, preventing herself from crying out.

"He... he..."

The palace-dressed woman pointed at the soul pearl floating in the void, still emitting a soft glow, but couldn't utter a word.

"What a Yuanchu..."

After a long while, Wanyi True Immortal finally came back from the shock, the corner of her mouth curling into a self-mocking arc.

"In terms of ruthlessness and the ability to yield and bend, this palace... is inferior to him."

She finally understood what scheme Yuanchu, the God Sovereign, was playing.

This move was played out truly beautifully.

Both to demonstrate his sincerity to the Gu Family and, taking this opportunity, to declare his stance to the entire Immortal Realm.

And the unfortunate brother who became the 'offering gift,' Yuantu.

Wanyi True Immortal also had some knowledge of that person.

Cruel, arrogant, with extremely heavy ambition.

He must have failed to grasp reality, proposing some suggestions unfavorable to the Myriad Gods Temple and to Yuanchu, the True Immortal.

Thus he was casually dealt with.

If one truly wishes to congratulate.

There are plenty of congratulatory gifts; no need to sacrifice a half-immortal.

……

……

Gu Family Divine Island.

The old ancestor looked at the soul pearl hovering in the air, listening to Yuanchu, the God Sovereign's generous and impassioned congratulatory words, and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, truly interesting!"

He pointed at the soul pearl and said to Gu Yuan beside him: "Good grandson, see? This is what's called vision."

"To survive, he could even use his own younger brother as a token of allegiance; this kid is a ruthless person."

Gu Yuan also watched, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Indeed, pretty ruthless."

He stroked his chin, "However, this gift is rather unique."

The energy contained in a soul pearl refined from a half-immortal's divine soul.

Although it doesn't compare to a True Immortal's Dao fruit, it can still be considered a decent tonic.

"Since they've sent it to our door, we won't refuse politely."

The old ancestor waved his hand, and the soul pearl flew into his grasp.

He glanced at the wailing divine soul of Yuantu inside, sensed it briefly, and understood the whole story.

"Foolish."

He flicked a finger.

With a soft sound, Yuantu's divine soul was completely annihilated.

Leaving only a single, purest energy soul pearl devoid of any impurities.

"This thing, make it a little snack for your mother."

The old ancestor casually tossed it, and the soul pearl turned into a stream of light that entered Jiang Rou's body.

Jiang Rou, who was in the process of condensing the Heavenly Emperor's Dao fruit, her body trembled slightly, and her aura surged again.

The Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit that originally still needed some time to be fully formed.

At this moment, it condensed with a boom!

A truly complete Heavenly Emperor's might that surpasses all Dao erupted from her with a boom!

At the same time.

In the Chaos Thunder Sea, Gu Lin Tian also let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shaking long whistle.

He bathed in the last, and also the most terrifying, bolt of Chaos Divine Lightning; his body, in the midst of destruction and rebirth, completed the final transformation.

His Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit shattered completely, transforming into a deeper, more profound seed that seemed to contain the ultimate truth of cosmic birth and death… a True Immortal Dao Seed!

True Immortal, achieved!

Heavenly Emperor, achieved!

In a single day, the Gu Family saw two members attain the Dao!

The entire Primeval Immortal Realm fell into utter silence at this moment.

True Immortal-level forces fell silent, even actively sending congratulatory gifts.

Everyone knows.

The Primeval Immortal Realm is now unified.
