Chapter 239

After all, the true phoenix of the Immortal Ancient Era fought and died for all living beings, while the Undying Heavenly Emperor of the Tai Gu Era ambushed a great emperor in his twilight years in order to become an immortal — the disparity in character is simply too vast!

【White Qilin】

【One of the Ten Evils】

【The Qilin clan has the Primal Qilin, the Ancestral Qilin, the White Qilin, and others; among its mixed-blood descendants are the Fire Cloud Qilin and the like】

【During the Immortal Ancient Era, the Qilin, as one of the Ten Evils, also waged war against the Undying Kings of the Other Realm; its Qilin treasure art was world-shocking, enough to make even the Undying Kings tremble!】

【Sadly, it was still outnumbered, and in the end was beaten to death by a siege. In the Chaotic Ancient Epoch, a White Qilin was also born, and even became acquainted with Huang, but ultimately perished during the Dark Reckoning, never managing to break through to Immortal King】

A leaf shrouds the Shrouding the Heavens World.

"Ancestor, I have disgraced the Qilin clan!"

In the Life Forbidden Zone, the Qilin Ancient Emperor's heart was unbearably bitter — how glorious was the Qilin clan during the Immortal Ancient Era?

But what about him? Being unable to become immortal was one thing, but to survive he had even cut himself down and transformed into a forbidden zone. Even though he had not stirred up any turmoil, it was still somewhat disgraceful!

【Gu Zu】

【One of the Ten Evils】

【Can you believe it — from the Ten Evils dominating the world to being cursed through the ages, Gu Zu actually entered the game with his own body, dying ten thousand deaths without regret】

"Eh, what does this mean?"

"From the Ten Evils dominating the world to being cursed through the ages, and then to entering the game with his own body, dying ten thousand deaths without regret — what did Gu Zu go through?"

"Not sure, but I imagine it must be something like being an undercover agent, and in the end he didn't even die a good death. Just from the subtitles alone, it's rather sigh-inducing!"

"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths also had their heroes, but those heroes did not die a good death. As for those who deceived the world and stole fame..."

"They, on the other hand, can still roam free and at ease!"

At this moment, the audience from the myriad realms was somewhat astonished.

They had not expected that among the Ten Evils there was a figure like Gu Zu — even just from the subtitles, one felt a sense of lament.

This 313 could not help but make many viewers sigh with emotion: the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were not a scattered sand after all. What a pity that a few rotten eggs had wormed their way in, bringing such a tragic fate upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

The Perfect Great World.

"This — Gu Zu was wronged?"

"How could that be? Didn't Gu Zu clearly defect to the Other Realm? He even took the Reincarnation Immortal King's head with him — how could he possibly be wronged?"

"But the inventory video wouldn't lie. Perhaps there are many hidden circumstances we don't know about!"

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, countless cultivators were stunned.

They had never imagined, no matter how they thought about it, that the Gu Zu they had spurned for so many years was actually not a traitor, but very possibly a great hero of the Nine Heavens!

Such a stark contrast made many powerhouses unable to believe, even unwilling to believe all this!

"Gu Zu — did he surrender on purpose?"

"Good, what a Gu Zu, what a Reincarnation Immortal King — to actually use such methods to make us believe Gu!"

"Truly brilliant methods, truly brilliant resolve. But now that we know in advance, we absolutely cannot let Gu go. Today we shall slay Gu right here in our domain!"

In the Other Realm, many Undying Kings were bristling with killing intent.

Although Gu Zu had blended into the Other Realm over these years, since he was an undercover agent, they naturally would not let him off — better to kill by mistake than to let him go!

Moreover, the inventory video wouldn't lie, so this undoubtedly strengthened their resolve to kill Gu Zu!

"Wait, just capture him first!"

But at this moment, Senior Kun Di spoke up: "Don't kill him for now. He may still be useful in the future — after all, if we negotiate with the Nine Heavens someday, he'll be a bargaining chip!"

Regarding Senior Kun Di's words

The many Undying Kings of the Other Realm naturally obeyed, and Gu Zu was undoubtedly caught by the Other Realm as well.

With so many Undying Kings taking action, even Gu Zu could not instantly escape the Other Realm, and in the end could only be captured, to be kept for future negotiations with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths...

To be precise, negotiations with Huang!

"Sigh, I haven't even done anything yet, and the inventory video has wronged me. I have let down Reincarnation and Wuzhong!

At this moment, Gu Zu was completely dumbfounded — he hadn't done anything yet, and yet he had already been caught by the Other Realm.

This left him utterly frustrated, and he utterly hated the owner of this inventory video. His undercover work had been going perfectly fine, yet the video had directly exposed him.

How was he supposed to face the Wuzhong Immortal King and Reincarnation now? Even if he died, he would die with unclosed eyes!

The scene continued to change:

【I was born within time and space】

【A Chaos God, the Innate Gu Zu — peerless from the moment of my birth, the great Dao of Heaven and Earth overturned itself for me!】

【With golden hair flying and eyes like blazing suns, I possessed a might to swallow mountains and rivers, carving out the name of the Ten Evils. Though I had not reached the King realm, I could fight the Undying Kings of the Other Realm on equal terms】

【My innate divine ability could sever the ancient and modern universe】

【One hand wielded time, the other shattered the void. Bathed in the divine radiance of all heavens, illuminating the six directions and eight wildernesses, I obtained the dual energies of yin and yang, refined the Heaven-Overturning Yin-Yang Furnace, and even joined forces with many Immortal King powerhouses to deduce the path of using one's body as a seed】

【Bearing the mandate of Heaven, I should have had boundless glory...】

【But time waits for no one. The Other Realm erupted in violence, Immortal Kings descended, Undying Kings roared, the heavens clashed in fierce battle, primordial beings revived one after another, and peerless powerhouses emerged in succession】

【The Other Realm came for the keys to the Origin Ancient Artifact, war was on the verge of breaking out, and the divine chains of law kept surging!】

【Blood-light illuminated the heavens...】

【A scene of apocalypse took shape here】

【The Border Wasteland Fortress stretched across the heavens and earth, countless heroes slaughtered each other on the battlefield, and I was no exception】

【Ennoblement as a king is glory, but also a symbol of cruelty. The Undying Kings of the Other Realm took turns attacking — the True Dragon bled, Lei Di fell, and all Ten Evils met with catastrophe!】

【The Immortal Monk King was ambushed and slain at his doorstep, and the Reincarnation Immortal King was also gravely wounded, tempered through bloody battle】

【My realm seemed to loosen somewhat!】

【One more Immortal King powerhouse on the battlefield meant one more thread of hope. Moreover, I was one of the Ten Evils — as long as I became a King, I was confident I could fight against the peak Immortal King powerhouses】

【I broke through from the rear, drawing in all the heavens and myriad realms, fusing the fragments of time and the laws of space together】

【Unfolding the ultimate extreme of time and space!】

【But at the critical moment, a battle-halberd pierced through my arm, blood gushing forth, the laws of time and space around me shattered into fragments and ran amok, my advancement was interrupted】

【I was nearly mad with hatred — to suffer such a tribulation in the safest rear — my eyes bloodshot, I rose and looked toward the front】

【Battle armor grim and cold, blood-qi soaring to the skies — it was one of the Seven Kings of the Border Wastes, and in the distance a blood phoenix cried out. I roared in fury, "Have you betrayed the Nine Heavens?!"】

【But a Border Wastes strong expert nearby said coldly: "Military orders are as a mountain. We have received the decree of the Reincarnation Immortal King — Gu has rebelled. By command, we strike and kill the Gu Ancestor!"】

【I could not believe it — the Reincarnation Immortal King himself wanted to kill me. The image of Reincarnation collapsed in my heart in an instant】

【The hatred in my heart surged like terrifying waves!】

【I howled toward the sky, roaring: "What defection? It is simply that you cannot bear to see a new king be born, and you covet my innate divine ability. How utterly laughable!"】

【I was far too naive】

【I had thought that in such a moment of peril the Zhuwang Society would stand as one. Hatred left only one thought in my heart — this rotten heaven and earth need not be saved. Since you call me a traitor, then so be it — I shall be a traitor, just as you wish】

【A massive black rift emerged from the void, branching out like lightning in countless forks. I condensed time and space into a sea of laws, and surged it toward all directions】

【Such might pressed straight against the Immortal King Realm!】

【"Where do you think you're fleeing?!"】

【The Border Wastes King roared】

【Trying with all his might to block the surging laws】

【But I, wrapped in towering fury, sank into the void. I knew there were still Immortal Kings around — I could not avenge myself now — so I led my clansmen in a furious charge that smashed through the Imperial Pass】

【Heading straight for the depths of the Foreign Realm. In the end, at the Origin Ancient Hall I met Senior Kun Di. He looked at me with a half-smile and said: he already roughly knew my origins!】

【I was greatly shocked — I had not expected the Foreign Realm's infiltration of the Nine Heavens to run so deep. Then, without affirming nor denying, I looked at him and said: "Can you let me bathe my blade in my enemies' blood?"】

【Senior Kun Di laughed heartily: "The chance has always been there. Come with me to encircle and kill Reincarnation. Today I shall let you slay your enemy with your own hands"】

【As his words fell, a great host of Undying Kings set out】

【Titans were numerous as well. I joined them as well, and a world-shaking battle drew open its curtain — divine chains danced across the sky, the sound of snapping like the heavens and earth themselves keening in grief】

【The boundary walls were pierced through, the laws of the entire great realm were being torn apart, the shattering of heaven and earth was but a moment away】

【The Reincarnation Immortal King was hunted by countless foes...】

【I too struck fiercely, roaring: "Using your power to oppress me, coveting my precious bone and secret art, destroying my origin Dao foundation — Reincarnation, death ten thousand times would not be enough! Die!"】

【But even I myself had not noticed that blood-tears were falling from the corners of my eyes, and within my heart a single refrain kept echoing】

【Defect to the Foreign Realm — kill Reincarnation!】

【In the end, the Reincarnation Immortal King, who had gravely wounded several Undying Kings, was caught by me in a single instant of error】

【Time and space ran wild, forming incomparably sharp Great Dao laws. Countless great stars along the way were ground to dust. The blade-light flashed — and I, holding the Reincarnation Immortal King's head, howled toward the sky: "Great vengeance is wrought! Reincarnation Immortal King, you had it coming!"】

【However, for some reason...】
