Chapter 179: Coronation of the God Son, Plotting Against a Softie
The next day.
The coronation ceremony for the God Son and Goddess had invited almost all top immortal traditions of the heavens and myriad worlds.
Furthermore, those leading the delegations to offer congratulations included many from the Saint Realm and the Divine Fire Realm.
The momentum was magnificent, with the ten thousand races coming to pay homage.
Of course, beings of the Saint Realm and Divine Fire Realm possessed transcendent status; theoretically, they would not attend any celebration.
The reason they came was mostly for Jiang Yu and Zhi Meng, wishing only to catch a glimpse of the peerless twin heroines' divine visages.
If they could gain the favor of a goddess and discuss the Great Dao together, they would have no regrets in this life.
Jiang Yu and Zhi Meng sat on the left and right on the divine seats, their figures hazy, their auras sacred and inviolable, like peerless goddesses transcendent from the world.
"Noisy!" Hearing the sound transmissions in her ear, Zhi Meng's clear, cold, and indifferent eyes shot forth two streaks of knife light, blasting a Saint Realm expert into nothingness.
Holy blood scattered, and instantly, it became quiet by her ear.
The Grand Elder, who was reciting the sacrificial address, paused in his tone.
The entire venue fell silent as winter cicadas.
Everyone's pupils contracted as they looked at the holy blood filling the sky in disbelief, their hearts shocked.
Dead.
A Saint who inspected heaven and earth, known to live as long as the sun and moon, was dead.
Everyone's faces turned pale, their hearts filled with terror, fearing that Zhi Meng, having started a killing spree, might take them all out with a single display of divine power.
Jiang Yu's moist red lips held a smile, and her knitted brows slowly relaxed.
Her ears had also quieted down.
Admittedly, Zhi Meng had ten thousand faults, but when it came to dealing with persistent suitors, Zhi Meng was professional.
"Divine Fire Realm Third Layer, truly ruthless." Lin Xuan sat upright below, clad in snow-white clothes, his expression indifferent.
Seeing Zhi Meng kill someone over a disagreement, Lin Xuan was startled, but deep hatred also emerged in his eyes.
Back then, he was truly blind to fall in love with Zhi Meng and vow not to marry anyone but her.
It caused his family to be exterminated and his two younger sisters to die miserably, their bodies and dao extinguished.
Such a sea of blood feud was irreconcilable.
"Sister, Father, Mother, rest assured, I will definitely kill Zhi Meng to avenge you." Lin Xuan swore secretly in his heart, his gaze toward Zhi Meng turning icy and indifferent.
As if looking at a dead man.
No matter how beautiful Zhi Meng was, she could not stir the slightest ripple in his heart anymore.
He only wanted revenge now; he only wanted Zhi Meng to pay her blood debt.
"Hah!"
Lin Xuan exhaled a long breath, withdrew his gaze, looked at Luo Rou beside him, and immediately revealed a gentle, refined, and indifferent smile.
"Rou'er, when did you arrive at the Star Temple? Why didn't you tell me? Are you still blaming me?" At the last sentence, Lin Xuan smiled self-deprecatingly.
He was truly blind to have hurt Luo Rou for the sake of Zhi Meng.
Although he did not love Luo Rou and had always treated her as a younger sister, the broken engagement and taking another wife back then had made Luo Rou endure cold eyes and ridicule.
It had deeply hurt Luo Rou.
The little girl who used to be full of him in her heart and eyes now looked at him like a stranger.
This was all his fault.
Lin Xuan regretted it immensely, secretly swearing in his heart that he would make it up to Luo Rou in this life and not let her suffer the slightest harm again.
"No, no."
Luo Rou shook her head in a panic, not daring to look at Lin Xuan, her pair of intelligent beautiful eyes darting around everywhere.
"Master." Lin Chuqing gripped her hand, signaling her not to be nervous.
Lin Xuan looked at Lin Chuqing, his heart burning with eagerness.
Nine-star talent.
Lin Chuqing's constitution and luck were actually even higher than Liu Ruyan's, who also possessed nine-star talent.
If he could take Lin Chuqing as his disciple, the system rewards would absolutely explode, allowing him to surpass Zhi Meng and Jiang Yu in one fell swoop.
Lin Chuqing was the key to his revenge.
As for poaching Luo Rou being immoral.
Sorry, Lin Xuan really hadn't thought about it.
His mind was currently filled with how to trick Lin Chuqing into becoming his disciple.
"Invite the God Son and Goddess to the stage to receive their conferment..."
The Grand Elder looked solemn, finished reciting a long sacrificial address, and loudly invited Gu Qing and Su Qingyue.
Gu Qing and Su Qingyue seemed to have come from the endless starry sky, stepping on the Avenue of Starlight, like divine deities plucking the moon from the nine heavens.
The conferment ceremony was very troublesome.
With various sacrifices to heaven and vows, after the whole procedure, three hours had already passed.
Fortunately, everything went very smoothly, and no one dared to cause trouble.
Even Lin Xuan did not cause any disturbances.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but there was simply no reason to cause a disturbance.
Throughout the process, he watched Gu Qing with indifferent eyes.
"Senior Brother is truly handsome."
Looking at the incomparably handsome Gu Qing, Xiao Hongdou felt that her world could no longer contain anything else; it was entirely filled with Gu Qing's figure.
"Hongdou, restrain yourself a bit." Liao Qi was speechless.
She never expected that the usually timid and weak Xiao Hongdou was actually a hidden obsessed girl.
"Restrained? My ass, I'm restrained."
Xiao Hongdou rolled her eyes.
Does anyone in the family understand?
She, a minion running around for a pitiful fee of a few thousand, transmigrated overnight and became a true disciple of the Star Temple, with a limitless future.
And there was a handsome senior brother who was devastatingly good-looking and generous with his money.
You ask her to be restrained; how can she be restrained?
She couldn't be restrained even a little bit, okay?
Xiao Hongdou looked excited, feeling that her life had reached its peak.
"Junior Sister."
Bai Suying helplessly tugged at her sleeve.
Xiao Hongdou pursed her pink lips, her passion like a basin of cold water being poured over it, her expression listless.
Such a perfect senior brother, why does he already have a Dao companion? Detestable.
"What are you doing? Sit down."
Zhi Meng grabbed Jiang Yu, who was about to stand up, and took the lead to come to the high platform.
She placed the God Son's crown on Gu Qing's head.
Then she placed one on Su Qingyue as well.
"Good apprentices, the future of the Star Temple will be handed to you from now on." A trace of a smile appeared on Zhi Meng's proud, cold, and beautiful face, breathtakingly peerless.
All of Zhi Meng's admirers were stunned.
Having known Zhi Meng for so many years, they had never seen Zhi Meng smile.
They had assumed that Zhi Meng would never smile in her life and was a heartless and ruthless goddess.
Of course, perhaps the scenarios in which they saw Zhi Meng were somewhat inappropriate.
Every time they saw Zhi Meng, she was either killing someone or on the road to killing someone.
"Damn it..." Fire spewed from Lin Xuan's eyes.
Obviously, Zhi Meng had never given him a smiling face either.
Even if he had become the enemy of the world for Zhi Meng and dug out his heart, Zhi Meng remained indifferent.
Lin Xuan could accept that Zhi Meng was an emotionless, cold-blooded demoness, but he could not accept that Zhi Meng had feelings for another man.
"God Son Gu is simply the darling of heaven and earth..."
The prodigals coming to watch the ceremony looked at the incomparably handsome Gu Qing, envious and jealous to the point of exploding.
Gu Qing could be said to possess both talent and status.
He held supreme status, unparalleled talent, and a path that was smooth and bright; he was destined to become a god and ascend, and he had a peerless goddess by his side.
What was more infuriating was that the goddesses, who usually wouldn't even give them a glance, were now staring infatuatedly at Gu Qing.
How could they not be envious, jealous, and resentful?
Many prodigies and monsters looked at Gu Qing with hostility, itching to challenge Gu Qing.
To ruin Gu Qing's face under the gaze of the masses.
After all, they were also high-spirited prodigals and monsters of the Invincible Continent, so naturally they would not feel that they were inferior to Gu Qing.
But once they thought about how Gu Qing could easily kill even a Venerable Realm peak expert.
If they were defeated, would Gu Qing spare them?
They were not afraid of losing, but they were afraid that Gu Qing would be ruthless and heartless, developing killing intent.
If Gu Qing refused to spare them, then they would truly die, their bodies and dao extinguished, and countless efforts turned to ashes.
Even their sects would not be able to save them.
After the God Son and Goddess ceremony ended, the two came to sit beside Zhi Meng.
Next was the Holy Maiden ceremony.
Jiang Yu personally took the stage to crown Liu Ruyan with the Holy Maiden's crown.
The whole process was very smooth, so smooth that Gu Qing suspected that the Lin Xuan before him was a fake.
After all, Lin Xuan was the protagonist.
Which protagonist doesn't cause trouble or make disturbances?
Even if matters had nothing to do with the protagonist, the protagonist would forcefully intervene and shift the center of events onto himself.
Gu Qing was already prepared.
As long as Lin Xuan made a peep, he would turn hostile in public, seizing the momentum to completely eliminate Lin Xuan.
"Heh!"
Lin Xuan met Gu Qing's gaze, and seeing the doubt in Gu Qing's eyes, he could not help but sneer.
He saw through Gu Qing's trick at a glance.
Gu Qing actually delusionally wanted him to cause trouble at the God Son and Goddess ceremony; he was simply dreaming.
Endurance, endurance, he had to endure.
Lin Xuan was well-versed in the way of the turtle; keeping a low profile and developing was the king's path.
He could not yet contend against the Star Temple; standing out to accuse Gu Qing would likely result in being surrounded and killed by the powerful experts of the entire Star Temple.
Gu Qing frowned tightly.
Lin Xuan actually cowered, wanting to turtle and develop steadily.
Lin Xuan had a Disciple Accepting System; if he wasn't careful, Lin Xuan might become invincible under the heavens.
There is only a thief who steals for a thousand days, not a thief who is guarded against for a thousand days.
He could not stop Lin Xuan from accepting disciples at all times.
Therefore, eliminating Lin Xuan was imperative and brooked no delay.
Thinking this, Gu Qing's gaze fell upon Luo Rou.
Perhaps he could use her to force Zhi Meng to take action, and then he would invite two Divine Fire Realm experts to attack Lin Xuan together.
Luo Rou, unaware of being plotted against, saw Gu Qing looking over and returned a faint smile, not showing her teeth, like a lady from a noble family, her posture quiet and elegant.
A pair of clear and limpid eyes, filled with the light of wisdom.
She looked quite bluffing.
Gu Qing twitched the corner of his mouth.
Plotting against a naive fool and a softie...
He still felt quite a sense of guilt.
But not much.
