Chapter 1170: I owe them

“You were originally the Nine Heavens Jasper Light Fairy, as you were worried of the lower realm’s suffering, you entered the mortal world and went through numerous Tribulations, only now have you completed your journey and returned”

“Next”

“I hope that the Divine Envoy of the Five Realms’ Altar will return to the Heaven realm, henceforth wielding the Heavenly Palace, watching over the Samsara”

“Wait a minute! All of them were either saints or fairies, why am I an envoy?”

Gu Qing Shan lowered his voice: “It is not sir envoy’s fault that you had forgotten. In truth, sir envoy was always the first person to enjoy the various benefits of the Samsara worlds, as such this position was the most lucrative within the Heavenly Palace”

The other person had a tacit understanding and urged him: “If that’s the case, quickly guide me into the Heavenly Palace”

“Very well”

“——next!”

“Fellow Dao seeker, you were originally the First Saint King of the Three realms, as you were worried of the lower realm’s suffering, you entered the mortal world and went through numerous Tribulations, only now you have completed your journey and returned”

“Next!”

…

“That should be enough, right?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Bai Zhuo and Chang Yu Li were both stunned.

In just a few moments, around 70-80 people had joined the Heavenly Palace.

With their enlistment, the Heavenly Palace began to tremble.

The drifting clouds began to solidify and slowly transform themselves, which would soon manifest as the real Heavenly Palace.

A wondrous fluctuation could be felt.

Bai Zhuo was surprised.

“Fellow Dao seeker Gu, the Divine Mountain has learnt your method; it is pleased with your work” Bai Zhuo said.

Gu Qing Shan smiled: “Then let us go ahead and fix the second issue——- I only need to solve two issues to finish my Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation, that’s a very good deal”

Bai Zhuo clapped his hands, then told Chang Yu Li: “Try and learn from his example”

The two of them soon vanished from the Heavenly Palace.

Chang Yu Li was the original envoy responsible for guiding people into the Heavenly Palace, so when he heard Bai Zhuo, he couldn’t help but feel a bit embarra.s.sed.

“Hmph, it’s such a simple thing, there’s nothing to learn… I just didn’t think of it before” he muttered.

All of a sudden, he felt someone patting his shoulder from behind.

Looking back, he found that they were the two men who had just reincarnated into the Heavenly Palace not too long ago.

“What’s the matter?” Chang Yu Li asked.

One of them said: “I am the 33rd Heaven’s Inspiring Formidable Heaven Shaking Great Emperor”

The other person said: “I am the Nine Heavens Ten Earth Conquering Profound Venerate”

They both continued at once: “Which one of us is the one with the higher status?”

Chang Yu Li froze.

Behind the two of them, the others like [Five Realms Great Venerable], [Three Realms First Saint], [South Heavenly Gate Great King] all exchanged glances, then waited for a confirmed answer.

Chang Yu Li wiped the sweat of his shoulder and squeezed out a smile: “Sirs… please wait a moment, I’ll look for someone to answer you”

With a ‘hoh’.

Gu Qing Shan reappeared.

“Why did I return again?” he asked.

Feeling like he had been pardoned, Chang Yu Li lowered his voice and explained what just happened.

Gu Qing Shan looked to the ‘heavenly immortals’ and raised an eyebrow, then asked: “Whose position is higher than whose, isn’t this matter usually resolved through combat?”

Everyone froze, then quickly realized.

That’s true…

——if you can’t beat me, why would you have a higher position?

Gu Qing Shan then added: “However, since everyone here is a heavenly immortal who would cohabit for numerous years to come, wouldn’t resolving everything through violence sully your status as heavenly immortals?”

“I suggest that everyone chime in to build the Heavenly Palace. Whoever works harder, the Divine Mountain would naturally elevate them to a slightly higher position, isn’t that right, Divine Mountain?”

A wondrous fluctuation could be felt from heaven and earth, as if to agree with Gu Qing Shan.

From the clouds below, various jade disks manifested, each written with both construction and virtuous missions.

Each of them contained real Merit and virtuous karma, so by completing them, not only would the Heavenly Palace be quickly constructed, but everyone would also shed their mortal forms to truly become inhabitants of the Heaven realm.

As for becoming actual heavenly immortals…

There would still be a very long way to go.

Everyone quickly examined the jade disks and chose the ones that fit their expertise.

No one complained or tried to cause more trouble.

“It’s all fine now, I’ll be going ahead” Gu Qing Shan told Chang Yu Li.

Chang Yu Li sighed, then couldn’t help but asked as he observed Gu Qing Shan’s casual and unphased expression: “Fellow Dao seeker Gu, what did you say you were before?”

Gu Qing Shan sternly answered: “A sword cultivator”

“I’ve never seen a sword cultivator like you ever before…”

…

“The small issue had been resolved, so there’s only the big issue left” Bai Zhuo told him.

“Explain it to me” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“The Divine Mountain truly didn’t want to arrange the Samsara this way, it was the results of the lack of other choices”

“What do you mean?”

“The Divine Mountain’s affliction was long dragged-out, and serious, so it couldn’t completely recover in a short period of time, the Divine Mountain lacks World Origin power to maintain a regular Samsara” Bai Zhuo answered him.

Gu Qing Shan said: “World Origin power? I’m afraid I don’t have a solution for that”

Bai Zhuo told him: “Please don’t be hasty to say that you don’t have a solution. In truth, the fragmented worlds outside of Heaven Pillar world were originally meant to merge and become one with the Divine Mountain. However, after the Heavenly Pillar was broken, they no longer had a way to merge with the Divine Mountain, which ended up causing this entire issue”

“The Heavenly Pillar had been fixed already, hasn’t it?” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Those worlds have been greatly weakened and need a way to help guide them onto the Divine mountain” Bai Zhuo explained.

Gu Qing Shan asked with a solemn expression: “They all have their own consciousness; would that not affect anything after they are fused?”

Bai Zhuo replied: “It would not. In truth, they need a permanent residence, otherwise, they could only drift and slowly draw their last breaths”

Gu Qing Shan paused for a moment.

Indeed, those remnant world spirits hope to be inhabited with living beings to prolong the time they are able exist.

They conduct business outside of the city, hoping to gain powerful treasures and replenish what little bit of power they could.

They stay gathered in a no-man’s land in order to share one another’s warmth.

Gu Qing Shan then answered: “Very well, if that’s really the case, I’ll guide them here”

Bai Zhuo asked: “Wait a minute, the remnant consciousness and Origins of those worlds cannot exert themselves, how are you planning on guiding them here?”

Gu Qing Shan looked straight at Bai Zhuo.

Bai Zhuo was very confused.

“Don’t worry, if it’s anything else, I wouldn’t be able to guarantee it, but you’ve come to the right person for this matter specifically” Gu Qing Shan clapped his hands loudly and continued: “Send me down”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure”

“Remember, you are a cultivator here to face the Tribulation, even with the Divine Mountain’s power, you can only leave temporarily just once—— in other words, you only have one chance, please make sure to live up to that confidence”

A flash of light.

Gu Qing Shan was transported away from Mount Sumeru.

…

Heaven Pillar world.

It had been a bit of time after they left, so it was currently nighttime here.

Gu Qing Shan flew in the night wind and stood on top of the city to observe the outside.

A scene of prosperity.

Images of countless worlds were interconnected and perfectly melded into one another outside the city.

A line of glowing text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[Attention, during the previous Dance of the Earth G.o.d, you have expended all of your Prayers, thus cannot perform another proper Sacrificial Dance so soon]

Gu Qing Shan sighed, raised his hand, and clenched his fist.

While standing still, an invisible power descended upon him.

The [Blessing of the Past Worlds]!

This power spread in every direction and was soon noticed by the remnant world spirits.

Almost right away, all the world projections and the city wall itself vanished.

A different scene appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s eyes.

Various broken ent.i.ties——

Gigantic bodies, elongated limbs, featureless but humanoid.

The remnant souls of destroyed worlds.

They were all worlds that had been destroyed by Reneedol, leaving a bit of their remnant soul hiding here at Heaven Pillar world.

They could only appear at night, using their mutual powers to manifest simultaneously, desiring all forces and powers they were able to obtain in order to extend their existence for even a single moment.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand: “Long time no see. I had thought that I didn’t have a way to resolve your issue so I didn’t come to meet you earlier, but now I have some news”

The huge number of the worlds’ remnant souls silently watched him.

He pointed at his left eye and told them: “Right now, there is an opportunity. You can come to take refuge on the Divine Mountain of Sumeru, where you would once again be inhabited by all things and living beings, existing alongside the Divine Mountain——- listen, I don’t really understand your situation, nor do I understand your thoughts; if you are willing to do this, then reside in my left eye, I have two World Techniques that can temporarily store you”

Gu Qing Shan then put his hand down: “If you are unwilling to come, then no one will be able to force you”

A few moments later.

Those gigantic ent.i.ties all nodded.

They turned into countless sprites of light that circled around Gu Qing Shan.

「 Thank… you…」

Various grateful voices resounded in Gu Qing Shan’s ears.

All the sprites of light entered his iris and gathered at the same time, appearing as numerous blinding suns.

A line of text suddenly appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[Your iris has housed too many world spirits, it will cause you extreme pain, please immediately release them]

Gu Qing Shan was trembling all over, cold sweat constantly flowing from his every pore.

He scoffed: “You call this pain? It’s still nowhere near the level of the duo dragon power”

Another line of glowing text appeared from the War G.o.d UI:

[Attention, your iris has housed too many world spirits, if you do not immediately release them, your iris will suffer severe injury]

Blood was flowing from his eyes.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “Don’t try to convince me. The last time I was here, if they didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t have known that the Azure Dragon was lying in ambush”

“I owe them”

He wiped the b.l.o.o.d.y tears from his eyes, then flew up through the sky along the Pillar To Heaven.
