I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 1149: Watching a Funeral Without Disdaining Its Grandeur

Gu Ce is alright; his past is well-known. On the other hand, Xiaoyao Jun seems to have acquired some secret about his sudden surge in spiritual vision, which has led to an almost obsessive thirst for "knowledge," resulting in a bad reputation and a general reluctance to associate with him.

“There was a deal between Xiaoyao Jun and the Lord that we are unaware of.”

The Spirit Tomb Witch King said, "This is what the Lord told me personally before he disappeared, but I don't know the specifics."

Iyeft frowned: "Xiaoyao Jun's stance has always been ambiguous. He has never publicly supported us, but he has never truly cooperated with those civilizations that are besieging us."

"He is waiting for the benefits promised by the Lord."

Lieyang Jun sneered, "I know that guy. He's willing to do anything for knowledge, even sell his own family business without hesitation."

"Therefore, his stance is more intriguing. He is not entirely an ally, but he is not an enemy either. He must have been observing the changes in the Qinggu Divine Kingdom in secret, and may even have already participated in them."

"What about Gu Ce?"

Minghui Juezu asked the question.

"The purpose of that imperial advisor is very puzzling."

"He exaggerated our role in the defection of the descendants of Qingquan, taking the opportunity to gather resources from all sides."

Lieyangjun paused, "But the whereabouts of the resources that Gu Ce gathered are a mystery, and we don't know where they were used. He himself lives a secluded life, making it difficult to find out his purpose."

"..."

Huang Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "The news of the Lord's reappearance came from the Myriad Dynasty Civilization, didn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

If there's anything that could truly stir the hearts of rebels, it's the fate of Gu Heng.

This rumor has spread to its peak across the heavens and earth, to the point that the discussion among various civilizations has begun to subside.

In the very beginning.

People actually took it seriously.

After all, the fortune of the Qinggu Divine Kingdom was seized, its worshippers were killed, and there were countless eyewitnesses. Such a major event happened in a real way, and people witnessed it with their own eyes, which indeed caused a great uproar throughout the realm.

Back then, the Dark Realm actually held a very secretive meeting specifically to discuss this matter.

The rebels scattered their spies like beans, but managed to retrieve no real evidence.

The "suspected enemy of the era" disappeared without a trace after stealing the fortune, leaving no trace. In contrast, rumors spread like wildfire outside, making the dark realm somewhat uneasy.

Although the final conclusion was to remain calm and avoid falling into any traps or schemes, everyone still harbored a thorn in their side.

It's incredibly frustrating.

Only with the formidable enemy of the era at their side can they truly be considered to have turned the tide!

While those supreme experts outside are insignificant, gods are ultimately not something they can easily deal with.

Without him, no matter how much the rebels, these stray dogs, could scare the outsiders, they would never be able to actually fight their way out again.

"This rumor is bizarre in itself."

"Whether the Lord has truly reappeared is hard to say."

Lord Lieyang sighed.

Everyone hopes it's true, and no one wants their hopes to be dashed.

Could Gu Ce be the mastermind behind these rumors?

Iyeft put forward a possibility.

“Our lord is a very useful card. Once he plays it, no one will dare to underestimate this threat.”

No one could respond to such speculation.

Very complicated.

It's possible that Gu Ce used the title of "Great Enemy of the Era" to enhance his own prestige.

It's also possible that the Lord has truly returned, and then simply showed off his skills, which terrified the Wanchao civilization into chaos.

Ultimately, there's no way to verify it.

The rebels must be patient now. After all, the Lord had said long ago that if he were to meet with misfortune, all the rebels had to do was endure and wait, no matter how long it took.

Moreover.

With the Lord's strength, no matter how much turmoil the myriad civilizations may cause, they cannot shake him.

"I think it's best not to intervene rashly and to continue to observe the situation."

The Martial Venerable of the Sun slowly spoke: "Then the Ancient God Lord Qing Gu can do whatever he wants. Anyway, since the Lord foresaw this back then, how could he not have made arrangements and had a backup plan?"

The hall fell silent once more.

Everyone is processing this fact.

Their lord, the great enemy of the era who, despite being fought against by all the civilizations of the heavens, still managed to inflict heavy losses on his enemies, had such profound and precise plans that he could foresee the specific actions of a certain god-king within the Myriad Dynasties civilization many years later.

He had already foreseen the current state of the Qinggu Divine Kingdom.

Based on their understanding of Gu Heng, Wanchao Civilization must have already driven in the nails and set up the game, just waiting for the pieces to move on their own.

In fact, the Lord has many plans that the rebels are unaware of.

It's not so much that they didn't know, but rather that even if they did know, they couldn't understand his intentions.

That's how big the gap is.

Although he is not a god, his strength has long exceeded expectations, and even his vision and overall perspective are hard to match.

More often than not, as the sharpest blade in the hands of the great enemy of the era, and the most fanatical followers, their task is simply to recruit more people into their ranks.

"Then let's go with this suggestion. I also think it would be best to take a closer look."

"If things don't go well, it's not too late to take action then."

Minghui Juezu recited the Dao.

With these two people making their statements, it's clear what to do.

Just watch it and that's it.

The Wanchao Civilization is not far from the Dark Realm. For powerful beings like them, it's just a matter of taking a step. Anyway, if it turns into a funeral procession, no one will mind if it's too grand.

If the fire eventually reaches the rebels, then knives and guns may be used.

The rebels have trump cards. When Lord Lieyang revealed his trump cards on his return journey last time, most of the high-level combat forces of the top civilizations either died or fled. Naturally, the news was not kept secret, which shocked a large number of old enemies. Now, almost every civilization that suffered losses is pretending to be dead, just wanting to lick its wounds and recover its strength.

In other words.

For the time being, there won't be any fools or idiots arguing with the rebels.

Now you can go wherever you want!

"Who will go?" Lord Lieyang asked.

"I will go with Huang Yi, and bring a few more Origin-level and Myriad Wonders-level people. That will be enough."

Iyeft volunteered.

Although Huang Yi didn't speak, she had no objection to leaving the Dark Realm to see the starry sea. Staying cooped up in this dark alien world for too long would make everyone uncomfortable.

It's good to go out and stretch your legs.

"If the Lord really returns, we will know."

Iyeft's purpose was also very clear. Rather than caring whether the Qinggu God Society would hold a funeral, she was more concerned about whether the rumors about the Great Enemy of the Era were true or false.

She was very persistent about it.

This is also the persistence of other rebels.

Without a leader to guide you, it's meaningless to hold on for as long as possible.
