Chapter 1194 For Survival
In the blink of an eye, the Immortal King had already covered a distance of tens of meters and arrived in front of Gongshu De. The sudden eye contact caused a look of surprise to appear on Gongshu De's face.

As expected of a Celestial King, he possesses such terrifying movement speed.

He did not emanate any divine power or primordial fluctuations, not even any source power fluctuations, making it impossible for Gongshu to tell whether the Immortal King was simply fast or had used some kind of movement skill similar to Lin Yi's [Interlacing Light and Shadow].

The thought that he was facing the ruler of the Three Realms and Six Paths, the strongest known being in the world, and the culprit who ordered the extermination of all living beings on his home planet, made Gongshu De's heart beat faster and his breathing become rapid.

The Immortal King's gaze was sharp, locked onto Gongshu De, to the point that Gongshu De had the illusion that he was being seen through.

"What's wrong, Gongshu De? Are you afraid of me?"

The Immortal King's voice was somewhat cold, so cold that it increased the pressure on Gongshu.

If Lin Yi hadn't given him a heads-up beforehand, telling the old man Gongshu what might happen, Gongshu might have actually broken down.

"I'm afraid. Very afraid."

Gongshu nodded and said with a serious expression.

This moment put the Immortal King in a somewhat passive position. He was prepared to ask Gongshu De if he had nothing to hide, why he was acting so awkwardly in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Gongshu De readily admitted his inner thoughts.

"Immortal King, as the ruler of the Three Realms and Six Paths, you destroyed my home planet Azure Star with a single command. Who would not fear your existence? Even if I am fortunate enough to stand before you today, I must still be afraid of you."

"Only by maintaining a sense of awe at all times can we restrain our behavior and avoid making wrong decisions."

"Wow!" the Celestial King couldn't help but praise in his heart.

There's plenty of information about the old man Gongshu, but I've never heard of him being like this before. According to the informant, the old man Gongshu is usually very arrogant.

The Celestial King first nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject:
Gongshu De, don't you think you've gone a bit too far with your flattery? Do you think this suits your persona? Is this something you should be saying? Does your persona allow you to say such things?

Asking Ha Yu like this can be considered a relentless pressure.

Fortunately, the old man Gongshu had high emotional intelligence, and his reaction and explanation were completely consistent.

"Your Majesty, you jest. When you're out in the world, your identity is something you give yourself. No matter what my previous persona was, I'll still sing the song of the mountain I'm on. You agree, don't you?"

"As for the destruction of the planet, I can only say that it is survival of the fittest. You know that I survived and no one wanted to destroy me. They even gave me the opportunity to serve you. I shouldn't dwell on the past, right? After all, it's been nearly ten thousand years."

The Immortal King was very satisfied with the old man Gongshu's answer.

Claims that he has completely let go of hatred and now only wants to serve the Immortal King loyally are all nonsense.

On the contrary, this answer now will put the Immortal King at ease.

The old man Gongshu bluntly admitted that he was not a man of high moral character and integrity. He knew his own limitations and that in the face of absolute power, the only way to survive safely was to submit. There was no other way.

The reason for willingly becoming someone's dog in order to survive is obviously more convincing than any other reason.

With Gongshu De's answers, the Immortal King was completely relieved.

I'm too lazy to examine the old man Gongshu's memories.

They readily bestowed upon him the pre-prepared Enhancement Master's Token.

This waist tag is no ordinary item.

This is unique to the Celestial King.

Having this waist badge is equivalent to having the status of an official.

In the future, Old Man Gongshu will be considered a powerful and influential person in the Immortal King's camp. "This waist token is your pass in all the heavens and myriad realms. With this waist token, others will know your identity at a glance, and know that you are one of my people. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can protect your safety."

In addition to the special waist token given to him, the Immortal King also prepared a special residence for the old man Gongshu.

In addition to servants, there was a special workshop in the residence for enhancing equipment, specifically for the old man Gongshu.

This studio is quite exquisite.

In addition to the workshop, a warehouse was also set up for the old man Gongshu.

This warehouse is no ordinary warehouse; it's somewhat like a personal space. Although the warehouse itself isn't large, its capacity is quite astonishing, and it's filled with all sorts of rare materials.

"A skilled craftsman must first have the right tools." The Immortal King certainly didn't want the old man Gongshu to be lacking in this or that while working, thus prolonging the construction period.

It's much smaller than the Divine Forging Bureau on Earth.

Why would the Celestial King create such a cramped workplace for Old Man Gongshu? Because Old Man Gongshu's only client is the Celestial King.

The Immortal King went to great lengths, presumably just to raise the enhancement level of his Fuxi Talisman to +100.

After doing all this, Gongshu De went to the residence arranged for him by the Immortal King, and then inspected his studio.

It must be said that the Immortal King was truly well-prepared, leaving nothing out of the necessary items, so that the old man Gongshu could start working on the spot.

Gongshu Laotou was not a person who dragged things out.

After Lin Yi handed over the Fuxi Talisman to him, he successfully enhanced it to level +99 in less than two weeks.

Once this task is completed, Old Man Gongshu will only have one task left: how to break through to the final enhancement level.

It's not an exaggeration to say that a top-tier external artifact with a level of +99 and an enhancement level of +100 are completely different things.

Before reaching the +100 enhancement level, Shenhe Song cannot create a clone with the exact same attributes as the user and capable of using skills.

Once you reach the +100 level, it's a complete qualitative change.

Lin Yi has also been busy during this time.

The Immortal King was very pleased to have successfully brought the old man Gongshu back.

So, Lin Yi was given several days off so he could get some rest.

During his rest period, Lin Yi didn't stay idle.

During his time in the upper realm, Lin Yi got along relatively harmoniously with the gods; their relationship was, needless to say, excellent.

He wanted to learn the exact location of Nuwa's Spirit Realm from the other higher gods.

Unfortunately, very few people know about the secret realm of Nuwa's Spirit. Of the gods who participated in the treasure hunt that day, only one inconspicuous one returned alive.

As for where he went after returning alive, no one knows.

Just when Lin Yi was at a loss about finding the exact location of the dungeon, he ran into someone.

Zack, the man who saved him from danger multiple times.

Or we should call him by his real name.
