Chapter 336: The True God!
The True God!
Everyone's eyes landed on Left Councilor Feng Qi and Martial Chancellor Wu Qi. It turned out that everyone else was curious as well. It couldn't be helped. It had been quite a while since the True God had last made an appearance.
The True Good seemed to have vanished into thin air, and the only people aware of her location were Left Councilor Feng Qi, Martial Chancellor Wu Qi, and the Adjudication Sword Master.
Left Councilor Feng Qi admitted, “The True God is suppressing the True Universe's Universe Tribulation.”
Ye Guan was curious. “What happens if the Universe Tribulation is left unsuppressed?”
Left Councilor Feng Qi smiled and replied, “The True Universe will be destroyed.”
Ye Guan frowned.
Left Councilor Feng Qi added, “I know that you don't believe me. Go ahead and ask Cirou.”
Ye Guan made a sidelong glance at Cirou. And
Cirou nodded and said, "Big Sister can indeed suppress the Universe Tribulation, but the Universe Tribulation grows stronger after each suppression. It has been suppressed so many times that its power has long grown to unimaginable heights.
"Once it erupts, the known universes and the All Worlds will get caught up; they'll be annihilated along with the True Universe."
Ye Guan fell silent.
Cirou suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "I have a suggestion!"
Everyone's gaze landed on Cirou.
Cirou sounded solemn as she said, "The Universe Tribulation isn't an issue that belongs solely to the True Universe. It's an issue that every single living being in the vast expanse has to address. In other words, the greatest enemy of our True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe was the Universe Tribulation."
Everyone furrowed their brows at Cirou's remark.
Why did she tie the True Universe together with the Guanxuan Universe? What was she trying to do here?
Cirou continued. “I said was because it has been replaced by the Eternal Sovereign—the First Sovereign of time immemorial. Big Sister is the only one strong enough to take him on."
Cirou glanced at Ye Guan and said, “Only supreme elites from your father's generation can fight him head-on”
Ye Guan was silent.
Cirou looked around and smiled. “What did the Eternal Sovereign do the moment he was unsealed? He asserted his invincibility and said that he was going to make the vast expanse tremble once again. Goodness. He wants to conquer the vast expanse. His declaration was a blatant disrespect to our True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe!"
Cirou waved her hand and said, “We should deal with him—let’s deal with him together!”
Everyone from the True Universe instantly understood what she was trying to say.
She wanted the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe to collaborate on a mission to deal with the Eternal Sovereign. Everyone had no idea what to say in response to the suggestion.
Ye Guan made a sidelong glance at Cirou.
Cirou blinked at him and asked, “What do you think of my suggestion?”
"It was great." Ye Guan nodded and said, “Stay quiet next time.”
Cirou’s expression darkened. She pinched Ye Guan’s palm and muttered, “You meanie!”
Everyone was stunned. What was their relationship?
The Adjudication Sword Master stared coldly at Cirou, and she didn't bother hiding the disdain in her smile. Ye Guan's head started to ache. He hesitated for a moment before retracting his right hand and saying, "Stop acting coy. You'll make everyone misunderstand."
Cirou laughed heartily and explained, "Please don't misunderstand, everyone. We have a wholesome relationship, and nothing of that sort has ever happened between us!"
The crowd: "..."
Ye Guan facepalmed and said, "Stop talking, please."
Cirou was an expert at rendering everyone speechless.
Cirou continued. "Don't look at us like that. We're really in a wholesome relationship!"
The crowd was quiet.
Ye Guan's temples throbbed in pain.
Left Councilor Feng Qi shook her head with a smile and said, "Cirou, I understand what you're trying to say here. You want the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe to join forces against the Eternal Sovereign, right?"
Cirou nodded and spoke seriously, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Great Daoist Brush Master is currently being suppressed, and I believe that the vast expanse will soon welcome the second coming of the supreme elites that the Great Daoist Brush Master had once suppressed."
Cirou smiled lightly and explained, "It wasn't just the Great Daoist Brush Master. Big Sister has also suppressed many old fogeys during the chaotic era of the Divine Dao Civilization. I'm sure they're going to reappear soon and take advantage of the upcoming chaos.
"With their threat in mind, I don't think it's a bad idea for us to hold hands with the Guanxuan Universe!"
Everyone in the hall was quiet. They didn't want to hold hands with the Guanxuan Universe, but it made sense. After all, they had been fighting each other for millions of years now, and it would be an understatement to call their fighting a simple feud.
Ye Guan was silent as well. He also didn't want to work with True Universe.
Seeing the expressions of Ye Guan and the cultivators of the True Universe, Cirou knew that she had to do something here. She pondered briefly before saying, "Actually, there's no need for us to hold hands. We can just declare a temporary ceasefire and agree that we won't invade each other for the time being. What do you guys think?"
A ceasefire! Everyone was quiet.
Left Councilor Feng Qi looked at Ye Guan and asked, "Young Master Ye, what do you think?"
Ye Guan was silent as well.
Cirou grabbed Ye Guan's hand and said, "Master Pagoda is still in the hands of the Eternal Sovereign. Think about it! The Eternal Sovereign's prowess will skyrocket once he obtains complete control over the tiny pagoda.
"You know of the tiny pagoda's ability concerning time, so the overall prowess of the Eternal Civilization will reach terrifying heights in the proverbial blink of an eye if we just let him be!"
Ye Guan furrowed his brows and asked, "Will Master Pagoda be in danger?"
Cirou shook her head and replied, "Rest assured, he won't be in danger. Those lucky enough to obtain control over the tiny pagoda will treat it like a family heirloom. I'm sure they won't disrespect him by hurting him."
Ye Guan was relieved. Of course, he was still worried about Master Pagoda.
“I know you're worried, and I'm not going to ask you to forgive the True Universe. It's just that if we remain at war, the Eternal Sovereign and Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao will profit at our expense. In addition, the supreme elites of the Divine Dao Civilization—"
Ye Guan interrupted with a mutter, “I understand...”
Cirou smiled softly.
Ye Guan looked at Cirou and sighed. He actually had a good impression of her. She was like a teacher and a friend to him, but he knew that her heart would always be for the True Universe, just like Ba Wan.
The moment he had to fight the True Universe, Ye Guan had no doubt that the lady in front of him, along with the Ba Wan, would choose to stand on the True Universe's side.
However, it wasn't strange at all, as they were denizens of the True Universe!
With that thought in mind, Ye Guan felt at ease. At least, their loyalty was clear.
Recollecting himself, Ye Guan looked at Left Councilor Feng Qi and asked, "May I know your name?"
Left Councilor Feng Qi was taken aback, but she replied, "Feng Qi!"
Ye Guan nodded and said, "Lady Feng Qi, are you in charge of the True Universe?"
Left Councilor Feng Qi smiled and replied, "You can say that."
Ye Guan thought for a moment before saying, "Lady Feng Qi, how about this? From now on, let's declare a temporary ceasefire between the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe. Your people won't intrude on the Guanxuan Universe, and my people won't intrude on your True Universe. What do you think?"
Left Councilor Feng Qi suddenly smiled, "Young Master Ye, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"
Ye Guan nodded, "Please go ahead."
Left Councilor Feng Qi stared deeply at Ye Guan as she said, "The True Universe is willing to open up to the Guanxuan Universe. As long as they're willing, the denizens of the Guanxuan Universe can enter the True Universe to cultivate.
"Of course, we'll also allow the denizens of the True Universe to do the same, but it's only going to happen if Young Master Ye is willing."
Ye Guan instantly understood Left Councilor Feng Qi's motive behind such a suggestion. She wanted to poach the geniuses of the Guanxuan Universe!
It was true that the True Universe was better than the Guanxuan Universe when it came to the quality of cultivation methods, amount of resources, and more. If both the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe were willing, there would certainly be people who would jump ships onto the True Universe. After all, it was difficult to resist the tempting benefits that the True Universe had to offer.
Left Councilor Feng Qi's smile deepened as she stared at the contemplating Ye Guan.
Surprisingly, Ye Guan nodded and said, “That sounds great.”
Feng Qi was stunned, and even the Adjudication Sword Master frowned.
They didn't expect that Ye Guan would agree to such a suggestion.
Ye Guan looked at Feng Qi. “If the Guanxuan Universe is good enough for them, they'll stay. Otherwise, forcing them to stay is tantamount to harming their future prospects. It is up to them whether they want to stay or leave the Guanxuan Universe.
"There's always freedom of movement in the Guanxuan Universe.”
Freedom of movement? Left Councilor Feng Qi was awestruck. She examined Ye Guan from top to bottom. What a charming young man.
The Adjudication Sword Master stared at Ye Guan without saying anything.
Everyone else was extremely surprised by Ye Guan's remark. The young man's courage had exceeded their expectations.
Ye Guan suddenly said, "I want to open an Immortal Treasures Pavilion branch in the True Universe. Is that okay?"
Feng Qi fell silent. She knew about the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. The reason the Guanxuan Universe managed to become a powerhouse among universes was largely thanks to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.
The business model of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion was superb, and it would have a significant impact on the businesses of the True Universe's denizens once they were allowed to set up shop in the True Universe.
Left Councilor Feng Qi was about to object, but she recalled Ye Guan's audacity to allow the denizens of the Guanxuan Universe to cultivate in the True Universe. If she were to object to his demand, she would appear petty to everyone.
Left Councilor Feng Qi's gaze deepened as she stared at Ye Guan. She finally understood why Ye Guan had agreed after just a brief moment of contemplation. It turned out that his goal was to establish an Immortal Treasures Pavilion branch in the True Universe and hopefully disrupt the True Universe's economy.
Ye Guan looked at her, awaiting her response.
Left Councilor Feng Qi smiled and said, “Sure, but we want to have a share in it.”
Ye Guan frowned.
Left Councilor Feng Qi explained, “We want a fifty percent share. What do you think?”
Ye Guan was silent.
Left Councilor Feng Qi's expression turned solemn as she said, “Young Master Ye, even if I allow your Immortal Treasures Pavilion to set up shop here, do you really think that it will take off like it did in the Guanxuan Universe without our support?"
Ye Guan nodded lightly and said, “That makes sense.”
Left Councilor Feng Qi nodded and asked, “Do you have any other requests?”
"None." Ye Guan shook his head and stood up. “Farewell.”
He then turned around to leave.
Cirou stood up and followed him. Ye Guan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Cirou.
Cirou smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Lady Cirou, your injuries should have completely healed. Is there a need for you to follow me?" Ye Guan asked.
Cirou replied, "Of course!"
Ye Guan sighed softly and said, "Lady Cirou… you're from the True Universe."
Cirou stared at Ye Guan and replied, "You're smart, so you must know my motive."
Ye Guan was quiet at that.
Cirou continued. "Have you ever seen the Universe Tribulation?"
Ye Guan shook his head.
"Great!" Cirou smiled and exclaimed, "I'll let you see it, then!"
Ye Guan was stunned.
Cirou turned to look at the Adjudication Sword Master and said, “Cijing, come with us.”
The Adjudication Sword Master didn't say anything in response, but she stood up.
Cirou's gaze turned to Ye Guan, and she asked, “Shall we go, then?”
Ye Guan was quiet. If I go there to see the Universe Tribulation, does that mean that I'll finally see the legendary True God in the flesh?
