God Emperor

Chapter 2412: The Guide

“What’s the matter?”

Fukurokuju’s voice was like a great bell, and the sound waves spread throughout heaven and earth.

Zhang Ruochen was shocked, but he did not lose his mind. His thoughts spun rapidly, and he thought of a strategy.

Intergold Tiger spoke, “I carried this cultivator on my back,” he said. “Because of the Apex Intergold Qi, I can read his thoughts and some of his memories.

“I discovered that he came from Celestial Court on the other side of the starry sky. He had a close relationship with a Celestial Captive from the Celestial-Hunting battlefield. However, he killed that Celestial Captive for some reason.

“That Celestial Captive’s name is Manjian. He’s a Supreme Saint from Guanghan.”

Fukurokuju’s divine eyes shone brightly as he stared at Zhang Ruochen. “Zhang Ruochen, why did you kill Supreme Saint Manjian?”

“To be honest, when I was forced to leave Celestial Court, Supreme Saint Manjian did take good care of me. He was both my teacher and my friend.

“However, I am now a member of Infernal Court, representing the Immortal Vampires. My grandfather fought against public opinion and placed all his hopes on me. On the Celestial-Hunting battlefield, even if I had no other choice, I had to take action.

“Furthermore, Supreme Saint Manjian knows that he will never leave the Celestial-Hunting battlefield alive. He doesn’t want to implicate me, and he doesn’t want to be tortured to death by other cultivators of Infernal Court. That’s why he wanted to die when we met,” Zhang Ruochen said calmly and slowly.

There were many things that could not be hidden from Fukurokuju.

Rather than denying his relationship with Supreme Saint Manjian, it was better to tell Fukurokuju the truth.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It was clear that Intergold Tiger’s move was only a test threat. It did not force him into a dead end.

If Zhang Ruochen continued to refuse to be its guide, what it had said would definitely be more lethal.

Fukurokuju said, “It’s a good thing that you can recognize yourself as a member of Infernal Court and understand your own place. However, since Supreme Saint Manjian is close to you and is also your teacher and friend, why didn’t you persuade him to join Infernal Court? Wouldn’t that save his life?

“With your talent and strength, coupled with the background of the Xue Jue family, it’s not difficult to save the life of a Supreme Saint.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “Supreme Saint Manjian is different from me. He has disciples and clansmen in Guanghan. If he joins Infernal Court, countless people will die because of him.

“If I ask him that question, he’ll think that I’m humiliating him, “said Zhang Ruochen.

Fukurokuju fell silent. After a while, he asked, “You really don’t want to be the guide of Intergold Tiger? You probably don’t know what a guide is, do you?”

Zhang Ruochen did not dare to reject him immediately. He asked curiously, “I don’t. Please explain.”

“It starts with the origin of Intergold Tiger and Swastika Seiryu. They were brought out by Great Emperor Fengdu from the God’s Ancient Nidus.” The God’s Ancient Nidus was a primeval civilization relic. The word ‘primeval’ referred to the era before 50,000 Yuanhui-s

“The gods all agreed that about 50,000 Yuanhui-s ago, there was great destruction in the universe. It destroyed everything at that time. Only the five primeval civilization relics remain. “Perhaps there are other relics of the primeval civilization, but at least Celestial Court and Infernal Court haven’t discovered them yet.”

“The embryos of Intergold Tiger and Swastika Seiryu were preserved from 50,000 Yuanhui-s ago. After experiencing the great destruction, they were finally hatched in this Yuanhui after 50,000 Yuanhui-s.

“That’s why they’re called Primeval Divine Genus, Primeval Divine Beasts, to be specific.”

Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen were greatly shocked. ‘The two embryos were not destroyed during the great destruction. They were still preserved for 50,000 Yuanhui-s.

‘Even after 50,000 Yuanhui-s, they did not turn into dead embryos. They were even hatched.

‘This...

‘Lan Ying was a Divine Fetus of Lan Ying nurtured for three Yuanhui-s. Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, on the other hand, has survived since ancient times. Her case was rare, and she could be considered a rare treasure in the universe. However, compared to Intergold Tiger and Swastika Seiryu, she was still far behind.

‘They were probably the only two Primeval Divine Genus!’

Fukurokuju continued, “They have experienced the great destruction. They might even have absorbed the special power during the great destruction. They will definitely become the first-class overlord in the world in the future. However, they can’t leave God’s Ancient Nidus.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen were puzzled.

‘They can’t leave God’s Ancient Nidus?’

Fukurokuju said, “The laws of Heaven and earth are completely different from those in primeval times. Once they leave God’s Ancient Nidus, they will be attacked by the laws of Heaven and earth and attract punishment.

“Great Emperor Fengdu hid them in his own Divine Plane for thirty thousand years before bringing them out of God’s Ancient Nidus and sending them to Infernal Court.

“Even so, they could only stay in their own isolated worlds inside the two home planets. They could not leave.

“It took 30,000 years for them to slowly become more compatible with the laws of Heaven and earth of this era. They were no longer attacked by the laws.

“However, once they activated the power in their bodies when their power reached a certain level, it would still be detected by the laws of Heaven and earth. They would receive the wrath of heaven and earth and die a horrible death.”

Zhang Ruochen gradually understood that Intergold Tiger and Swastika Seiryu were creatures that could not be tolerated in this era. They should have died before the apocalypse.

To illustrate this using an analogy, one could regard the laws of Heaven and earth in primeval times were meant for creatures living in the water.

In contrast, the laws of Heaven and earth in this era were meant for creatures living on land.

Intergold Tiger and Swastika Seiryu were two powerful fish that lived in water. However, no matter how powerful the fish were, they would still die on land.

It was simply because the Laws of Heaven and earth were different!

Even the gods could not resist the laws.

Fukurokuju said again, “Not only that, they are unable to cultivate under the laws of heaven and earth of this era.”

Yan Wushen said, “Since it is so dangerous to come out, why don’t they continue to stay in God’s Ancient Nidus?”

Fukurokuju said, “Just now, I said that they experienced the great destruction. It is even possible that they absorbed the special power during the great destruction and will definitely become the overlords of the universe in the future.

“But there is a prerequisite. They have to leave God’s Ancient Nidus and blend themselves into this era. Otherwise, they will be trapped in the shoals. Their current achievements will become their limit.”

Zhang Ruochen asked, “So the guide can help them solve the problem of being rejected by the laws of heaven and earth and not being able to practice, right?”

“Yes.” Fukurokuju said, “One of you has integrated the Apex Intergold Qi, and the other has integrated Apex Swastika Qi. You have integrated with their power at the initial stage.

“As long as they follow you, the laws of Heaven and earth will repel them lesser.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “But this doesn’t address the root cause. It can’t fundamentally change their situation.”

Fukurokuju said, “So after you become their guide, you must help them practice until they can fully integrate into this era. “Of course, as a reward, they will protect your lives and teach you some prehistoric cultivation techniques and knowledge.

“At the same time, you can establish a close relationship with God’s Ancient Nidus, which is equivalent to having a powerful backer and background.”

There were other creatures in God’s Ancient Nidus that originated from primeval times. However, they were born in this era and were not repelled by the laws of Heaven and earth. They could roam free in this universe.

The five ruins of primeval civilization still existed. They had not been flattened by Celestial Court and Infernal Court. This showed how powerful they were.

Yan Wushen asked, “They’re divine beasts. We’re only Supreme Saints. How do we help them in practicing cultivation?”

Fukurokuju said, “You will need to communicate with each other.”

Zhang Ruochen thought for a long time. He asked one last question. “I still don’t understand. Since there are so many benefits to being a guide, why did you choose us two Supreme Saints in the Hundred-Shackle Realm as guides?

“Wouldn’t it be better if it were you, deity, or Great Emperor Fengdu?”

“It’s not that simple.”Fukurokuju was very patient. He said slowly, “You should know how difficult it is to fuse the Apex Intergold Qi, right? Countless geniuses from Ghost Clan were born over the past 30,000 years, but none of them succeeded. In the end, it became yours.”

Zhang Ruochen frowned. “So you and Great Emperor Fengdu can’t fuse the Apex Intergold Qi,?”

“We can do it,” said Fukurokuju. “Just that it is not possible to reach the state of perfect fusion. And I’m afraid even if Intergold Tiger’s is drained, it is not achievable. If they can’t fuse completely, they won’t be able to be a guide.”

“Even if other deities can fuse with the Apex Intergold Qi, the amount of Qi they absorb will weaken Intergold Tiger for a long time. This is one of the reasons.

“The second reason is that Intergold Tiger pays no heed to the growth potential of deities. It just doesn’t want them to be its guide.”

“The third reason is the most important. The deities’ bodies and Paths of Cultivation have already been fixed. This will affect Intergold Tiger. Compare to deities, Supreme Saints have more flexibility. Their number is higher too. So Intergold Tigercan find the one that suits them best.”

After listening, Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen roughly understood what a guide was.

Fukurokuju asked, “Zhang Ruochen, are you still not willing to be the guide of Intergold Tiger?”

“No, I’m willing to be the guide of Intergold Tiger,” Zhang Ruochen said.

‘Huh? This tiger threatened to expose my secrets indirectly. Do I look like I have a choice?’

Besides, Zhang Ruochen felt that being the guide of Intergold Tiger was indeed a way out. If he could not stay in Celestial Court and Infernal Court, he could at least take refuge in God’s Ancient Nidus when he was facing death.

Intergold Tiger snorted.

It seemed to be dissatisfied with Zhang Ruochen but also proud of making Zhang Ruochen’s compromise.

Fukurokuju said, “Since you’ve recovered, it’s time to go out! The Celestial-Hunting battle has ended since two hours ago.”

Suddenly, a white light enveloped Zhang Ruochen and Intergold Tiger. As the world turned upside down, Zhang Ruochen found that the scene around him had changed and appeared at Tungsten Square at the foot of Mount Destiny.

Intergold Tiger’s aura was restrained, and it stood majestically at the side.

In front of the square was the Gate of Destiny, which was made of tens of thousands of stellar cores. It was majestic and intimidating, as if it could pass through the ancient and modern times and the sea of stars.

“Look, Zhang Ruochen is back!”

“It’s really Zhang Ruochen. He’s not dead. The aura he emitting is really powerful.”

...

Countless pairs of eyes looked at Zhang Ruochen. Some were happy and excited, while others frowned in disappointment.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was revealing his muscular upper body. His long hair was disheveled, and there was a layer of blood-red light in his eyes. He was devilish, masculine, and handsome. His charm was fatal to female cultivators.

In the other direction, Yan Wushen and Swastika Seiryu returned to the Yanluo Clan’s camp. They caused a huge commotion and were surrounded by many cultivators.

On the other hand, Intergold Tiger and Swastika Seiryu were ignored by them. It was as if they could not sense the terrifying power in their bodies. They only thought that they were ordinary Saint Beasts.

Zhang Ruochen communicated with Intergold Tiger in his heart and asked, “You really only read a certain portion of my memory?”

“Yes. Your sea of consciousness is sealed by many powerful forces. Even I can’t crack it. If I really want to read it by force, I’m afraid your sea of consciousness will shatter, and you will die,” said Intergold Tiger.

Zhang Ruochen had a wonderful connection with Intergold Tiger. He could vaguely tell that it was telling the truth and was not deliberately deceiving him.

“Many powerful forces? Other than my mother, tWargod Bloodximius, Moon Goddess, are there other gods that have put a seal on my sea of consciousness?” Zhang Ruochen frowned.

Intergold Tiger said, “There is a very powerful seal. I feel that the caster’s spiritual power is more powerful than mine. That seal has isolated your consciousness.”

“What do you mean?” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes became piercing.

Intergold Tiger said, “It means that you have a memory that even you yourself are unaware of.”

“How is that possible?!” Zhang Ruochen said.

Even if the sealer was a god, Zhang Ruochen would at least recall some pieces of memory about it. How could he not know about it?

Moyin was the first to come to Zhang Ruochen’s side. She stared at Zhang Ruochen’s body with infatuation and said with a smile, “Congratulations, Master. Your cultivation has improved again.”

Zhang Ruochen’s face was solemn. He just nodded.

Moyin did not say anything more. She turned into a ray of light and rushed into Zhang Ruochen’s back.

Then, Lady Wind, Lord Bladehell, Supreme Saint Yi Xuan, and Gu Chenzi all rushed forward. They all asked Zhang Ruochen about the result of the Celestial-Hunting battle. More Supreme Saints of the Immortal Vampires rushed forward to pay their respects.

Zhang Ruochen gradually showed the demeanor of an Immortal Vampire leader of this generation.

The likes of Lady Wind and Lord Bladehell had been completely stolen by him. They were reduced to a foil.

Before Zhang Ruochen could speak, Fukurokuju, Black Robe High Priest, who was thousands of feet tall, walked out from the peak of Mount Destiny. He held a scroll in his hand and slowly opened it. “Now, I hereby announce the rankings of the ten clans in the Celestial-Hunting battle.”

The cultivators of the ten clans all looked at Black Robe High Priest with solemn expressions. No one dared to make a ruckus.

In fact, only the top four rankings were in doubt.

The battle between Yanluo Clan and the Immortal Vampires continued until the last moment.

On the home planet of the Netherkin, the Netherkin and the Rakshasa clan fought fiercely for third place. Their points were very close.

Zhang Ruochen knew the final result, so he was very calm.

However, the cultivators of the entire Infernal Court were extremely nervous. Many cultivators gathered near Mount Destiny held their breaths.

Although it was just a ranking, it was related to a clan’s glory and interest.
