Chapter 161 The Changes in the Heavenly Tomb! Soul Emperor! Pill Emperor! Xiao Xuan!
"Wait."
He licked his lips:
"Once I've mastered the basics of the Netherworld Blood Sea, you'll be the first one I deal with."
As for the Heavenly Court?
He squinted, looking at the three figures leaving the Daoyuan Palace in the sky.
The Investiture of the Gods? Celestial Positions?
"hehe..."
He chuckled softly:
"Join the Heavenly Court?"
"Of course we should add it."
"But not now."
He slowly rose, a sea of blood surging, carrying him step by step toward the void:
"What I want is to maximize profits."
"What we want is the right to speak!"
Instead of—
He paused, a flash of bloodlust in his eyes:
"To be cannon fodder for others."
Ancient world.
Gu Yuan plunged into that familiar space, before he could even catch his breath—
He froze completely.
A group of "acquaintances" were standing in front of him, looking at him with smiles.
Hun Xuzi and Hun Tu of the Hun clan...
The ancient tribe's former acquaintances...
These people should all be dead!
"You...you all..."
Gu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, and the aura of a peak Dou Sheng instantly erupted. He turned around and tried to run away!
"Old friend, how have you been?"
A gentle voice rang out.
Gu Yuan froze.
That voice...
He turned around abruptly and looked at the person in the lead.
He wore a blue robe, had a handsome face, and a faint smile on his lips.
Xiao Xuan.
That man who, a thousand years ago, suffocated the entire Dou Qi Continent.
That old friend of his.
"Xiao Xuan?!"
Gu Yuan's eyes widened:
"You...you're not dead?!"
Xiao Xuan shook his head:
"Dead. But alive again."
He pointed to himself:
"Now I am someone else's servant."
Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
"I have ordered you to meet someone."
Xiao Xuan's tone was as calm as if he were saying the weather was nice today:
"My master."
...
On the way, Gu Yuan learned everything from Xiao Xuan.
Just as they were heading to the cave of the ancient emperor Tuoshe, a strange change occurred in the Heavenly Tomb.
A jet-black banner appeared out of thin air, emanating an eerie black aura.
The remnant souls inside the Heavenly Tomb fought fiercely for control.
Xiao Xuan was cautious. He observed for a while and, finding no fatal danger, joined the competition.
But at the very last moment—
A sudden change occurred.
The black flag suddenly erupted, merging the entire Heavenly Tomb into one.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb broke through to the Dou Di realm in one fell swoop.
Self-proclaimed—
Soul Emperor.
All the remaining souls in the Heavenly Tomb became his servants.
Xiao Xuan originally vowed to resist to the death.
But the Soul Emperor simply said:
"Should we meet with the remaining members of the Xiao clan?"
Xiao Xuan fell silent.
He is willing to die for his dignity.
But the bloodline of the Xiao clan...
That was what he had protected his whole life.
He lowered his head.
He became the Soul Emperor's servant.
Gu Yuan's expression was complicated after hearing this.
Looking at Xiao Xuan's calm face, he felt a mix of emotions.
That man who was once full of vigor and looked down on everyone else.
now...
"Is this retaliation for your previous challenge?"
Gu Yuan suddenly asked.
Xiao Xuan nodded and gave a wry smile:
"I guess so."
He had challenged the authority of the Heavenly Tomb Soul quite a few times before.
Now that they've turned the tables and are in charge, they naturally want to use him to establish their authority.
"Let's go."
Xiao Xuan turned around:
"Don't keep your master waiting too long."
Gu Yuan took a deep breath and followed in his footsteps.
My heart was pounding with anxiety.
Why did this Soul Emperor summon me?
Do you also want to enslave yourself?
He clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it.
For the ancient tribe.
For my daughter.
He had no other choice.
...
The former council hall of the ancient clan.
It has now changed owners.
A man dressed in black sat in the main seat.
He had an ordinary appearance, a deep and profound temperament, and eyes as calm as an ancient well, revealing no emotion.
He just sat there, yet he gave the impression of facing an endless abyss.
Soul Emperor.
Beside them, the elders of the ancient clan who remained behind stood trembling, not daring to breathe loudly.
Xiao Xun'er was among them, her face deathly pale, but she stubbornly refused to collapse.
"Clan Chief Gu Yuan, please have a seat."
The Soul Emperor spoke, his voice gentle and without the slightest hint of oppression.
But Gu Yuan felt as if those eyes could see through everything about him.
He suppressed his unease and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, Soul Emperor."
"The ancestor of the ancient race has some connection with me."
The Soul Emperor said calmly:
"As long as you submit, I will not make things difficult for the ancient race."
Gu Yuan was taken aback.
He looked at the trembling elders beside him, and then at his daughter, whose face was deathly pale.
The elders frantically tried to signal to him with their eyes, their gazes full of pleading.
Xiao Xun'er bit her lip and shook her head slightly at him.
But Gu Yuan knew she had no other choice.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He quickly calculated in his mind.
The Soul Emperor's attitude was completely different from Emperor Dan's.
The Emperor was arrogant and self-important, and he wanted to enslave them from the start.
But the Soul Emperor... he was willing to give the ancient clan a way out.
Although it was still submission, at least they retained their dignity and autonomy.
and...
He glanced at Xiao Xuan.
That once proud and unyielding man, isn't he still alive today?
As long as you're alive, there's hope.
As long as you're alive, there's always a chance to turn things around.
He opened his eyes and knelt down on one knee:
"Gu Yuan is willing to lead the ancient clan to submit to the Soul Emperor."
The Soul Emperor looked at him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"very good."
He raised his hand:
"Get up. Everything in the ancient clan will continue as before; I will not interfere."
Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But he knew that from this moment on, the fate of the ancient clan had changed.
The Soul Emperor watched as Gu Yuan stood up and nodded inwardly.
He is different from Teitan.
Trapped in the Heavenly Tomb for countless years, it witnesses batches of remnant souls entering every so often.
Are you lonely?
Of course, it's lonely.
But he wasn't crazy.
Because those lingering souls brought him countless stories.
He had witnessed too many life-and-death situations.
I've heard too many stories about life.
He watched the ancient clan from its birth to its rise to prominence from within the Heavenly Tomb.
Tens of thousands of years of forbearance taught him a lesson—
Plan before you act.
In his view, Teitan's arrogance was bound to lead to his downfall sooner or later.
He also had ambition.
But he always thinks three steps ahead before taking a single step.
First subdue Doupo, then advance into the prehistoric world.
Take it one step at a time.
As for the opportunities hidden in the sky...
He understands it clearly.
Being in the lead for a time doesn't guarantee a permanent lead.
Isn't he himself the best example?
Therefore, he is not prepared to offend everyone.
Leave a way out, so you can meet again in the future.
Just then—
Boom!!!
A terrifying aura suddenly burst into the ancient realm!
"Where is the Soul Emperor? Come out and meet us!"
Teitan's voice resounded throughout the entire Ancient Realm!
Gu Yuan's expression changed.
This guy just finished fighting with Zhu Kun, and now he's attacking again?!
He quickly looked at the Soul Emperor:
"Soul Emperor, this person is Emperor Dan! The Emperor Dan left behind by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe has taken human form! He previously tried to enslave us, he was extremely arrogant!"
The Soul Emperor remained expressionless and slowly rose to his feet.
"knew."
He took a step and disappeared from the spot.
Over the ancient world.
Teitan stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at this unfamiliar world.
When the Soul Emperor appeared, a look of scrutiny flashed in his eyes.
"You are the Soul Emperor?"
Teitan glanced at him from head to toe, his tone cold and arrogant:
"I'm giving you a chance. Follow me and let's conquer the primordial world together."
