The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 23 Gu Tianshu

Time flies on earth, and nearly a thousand years have passed since the greatest dark turmoil in history.

During this millennium, many major events occurred, such as the gradual decline of an ancient family on the Burial Emperor Star, and the passing of an immortal dynasty in Zhongzhou into history and turning into dust.

The Great Sage Li Yang, who had been guarding the Heavenly Emperor Palace, had already broken through to the Quasi-Emperor level a hundred years ago.

The Great Sage Liyang, who has reached the level of Quasi-Emperor, feels playful and retraces his steps to see the proud sons of heaven and the fighting families of the holy land.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have not improved in the past thousand years. The spiritual energy has not recovered, but is instead declining.

Even the supreme beings in the restricted area have fallen into a dormant sleep. They are certain that they will not be able to start the path to becoming immortals in this life, so they bury themselves again and wait for the next era.

Even the Emperor of Heaven has not appeared in the world for thousands of years.
Everyone knows that the so-called golden age will not appear. On the contrary, the Dharma-Ending Age has arrived.

The cultivators above the level of saints from the major holy places and aristocratic families on the Burial Emperor Star rarely show up in public. Only in the starry sky are there still many saints who are constantly fighting and trying to go against the will of heaven.

"Gu Tianshu of the human race requests to see the Emperor of Heaven." A call came from the empty Emperor of Heaven's Palace. The visitor was dignified, but at this moment he was kneeling in front of the palace, praying for the man who had not appeared for a thousand years to return to the world.

The space twisted, forming a huge vortex.

"Let's talk at the altar." A clear voice came from the space tunnel.

Xu He had also heard the story of Gu Tianshu guarding the tomb of Emperor Wu Shi. Naturally, he would not be stingy with such a loyal and righteous person.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Tianshu's expression was shocked and he could not hide his excitement.

Even the Black Emperor standing by was extremely excited.

Since Xu He rose to prominence during the dark turmoil, except for that time when he traveled through the restricted area, he had been in seclusion and practicing.

They had waited for too long, and finally they could see the Emperor of Heaven.

"Gu Tianshu pays homage to the Emperor of Heaven."

"The Black Emperor pays homage to the Heavenly Emperor."

One man and one dog paid their respects respectfully.

Xu He looked indifferent as he glanced at the black dog that was as big as a cow and shiny.

This is one of the three best products in the nine heavens and ten earths. It is rare to see it so reserved. It is really rare.

"No need to be so polite." Xu He waved his hand slightly, asking him to stand up.

Gu Tianshu raised his head slightly and carefully glanced at the true appearance of Emperor Xu He. The Black Emperor beside him became much bolder, and his two eyes as big as copper bells stared at Xu He.

Although it was disrespectful, both it and he were actually a little anxious.

That day, the Beginningless Bell vibrated, shattering the Purple Mountain and waking them up.

When they saw the Wu Shi Zhong flying into the deep space to fight for the Emperor of Heaven, they already had a guess in their minds.

Emperor Wu Shi is not dead!

If the Heavenly Emperor before him was not the Wu Shi Great Emperor, how could the Wu Shi Bell be willing to be used by the Heavenly Emperor?
Or rather... the Great Emperor Wu Shi rebuilt it again.

This kind of thing has happened before. The Henren Emperor was once revered as the Heavenly Emperor of Nanling. Even a powerful emperor like Hengyu had fled to Zhongzhou...

Although the probability of Xu He having a reincarnation since the beginning of time is very low, what if?
They believed that the man who once dominated the nine heavens and ten earths, looked down upon the universe, and was invincible in ancient, modern and future times would never die.

Even if the current Emperor Xu He is just a flower similar to the Emperor Wu Shi, it is enough.

"No need to look, I'm not him." Xu He sat in front of the altar and placed a piece on the chessboard in front of him.

Gu Tianshu looked a little sad and sighed deeply.

An indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He had guarded the tomb of Emperor Wu Shi and almost given up everything, and now the emperor had really fallen.

Maybe it's a relief...

This was all Gu Tianshu could think of.

"Is the emperor really dead?" Black Emperor's eyes were filled with mist, and his emotions were a little out of control.

"Why doesn't the Great Emperor Wu Shi want to take Xiao Hei with him? Even if the path to immortality is just a scam, Xiao Hei is willing to die with the Great Emperor Wu Shi." Gu Tianshu sighed and stroked the dog head of the Black Emperor.
"Forget it, Xiao Hei."

Gu Tianshu looked at Xu He again, bowed, and silently took out an elixir of immortality.

In an instant, the air in the entire altar seemed to be replaced, and an indescribable medicinal fragrance came to the face, refreshing the heart.

The aroma of this medicine, which could add ten years to a mortal's lifespan with just one sniff, continued to spread into the distance.

Xu He glanced sideways, concentrating slightly, at the fairy-like phoenix in Gu Tianshu's hand, which seemed to be about to soar into the sky, transform into nirvana, and return to the world at any time.

The Immortal Phoenix Elixir of Immortality actually fell into his hands.

"Gu Tianshu came here to make an unwelcome request."

Gu Tianshu fell to his knees with a thud, holding the Immortal Phoenix Elixir in his hand, and was extremely excited.

Xu He could feel that the Immortal Phoenix Immortal Medicine was cheering after seeing him, and wanted to fly to his side to seek shelter.

Every immortality elixir was once a fallen immortal.

When Xu He reached this level and actually saw the elixir of immortality, he became even more certain of its authenticity.

"Why don't you keep the elixir of immortality for yourself?" Xu He said silently.

"Gu Tianshu knows that he is not worthy enough to enjoy it, but the Emperor of Heaven is different. With this magical medicine, the Emperor of Heaven can protect all living beings for another lifetime." Gu Tianshu maintained his action, still holding high the elixir of immortality.

"Tell me what happened." Xu He became serious, and his impression of Gu Tianshu's integrity deepened.

Gu Tianshu sighed deeply and took out a piece of blood-stained phoenix blood gold.

Xu He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the blood-stained red gold, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It looks like the Hengyu furnace, but there are some differences...it seems to be the difference in materials.

"The Jiang family has been destroyed." There was a hint of sadness in Gu Tianshu's expression, and even his tone was no longer calm.

"What!" Xu He was shocked. On the altar behind him, a phantom full of wish power suddenly appeared at the position belonging to Gai Jiuyou.

That’s Gai Jiuyou!
Gu Tianshu and Hei Huang were stunned and looked at the shadow.

"Senior Gai Jiuyou is not dead!"

The man and the dog were shocked and could hardly believe their eyes.

Could it be that this Heavenly Emperor is truly so unfathomable that he could actually call the dead back to the human world?

What a mighty power this is! Even the great Buddha Amitabha cannot reach it.

Xu He was also shocked. Before this, he could only vaguely feel Gai Jiuyou's residual soul, but now it actually appeared in the world.

"Go on, what happened to the Jiang family?" Gai Jiuyou, who was always calm, spoke in a heavy tone at this moment.

Gu Tianshu nodded and sighed, then picked up the blood-stained Phoenix Blood Red Gold and said, "This is the fragment of the Jiang family's Fire God Furnace. An ancient family without the protection of the Supreme Emperor's soldiers will naturally be coveted by many villains."

"The Jiang family has been destroyed. There are almost no saints left, and the younger generation has almost been slaughtered."

The Hengyu Furnace, the former supreme imperial weapon of the Jiang family, was shattered in the dark turmoil, which meant that the Jiang family was destined to fall from the altar sooner or later.

Perhaps seeing an ancient family destroyed is as novel as seeing a high official beheaded.

But no one expected the ending to be so bloody.

A family might have some overbearing younger generations who might stir up trouble, but at least this family had once paid everything for the dark turmoil.

But now it has ended like this, which is really sad.

Gai Jiuyou had no expression on his face, but his aura was constantly vibrating.

He remembered it clearly.

He borrowed the Hengyu furnace.
