If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 1022 Of course it's me
Gu An could actually see everything that True Origin Ancestor saw, but he didn't say it, letting True Origin Ancestor describe it himself.

True Origin Ancestor's judgment was correct; the mysterious being who went on a killing spree in the future was indeed stealing lifespans.

That was not Gu An's reincarnation or a projection of his lifespan, but rather related to another sage.

The reason it's in the future is because that sage hasn't yet entered the chaos and can only interfere with the future.

If Gu An were to intervene in the future now, the future that the sage intervened in would vanish like a phantom, thus severing the cause and effect and preventing any trouble from involving him.

As for why the sage wanted to steal lifespan, he did not know, but the person who stole lifespan was not the same person as the sage, but there was a close causal relationship between them.

More than this matter, Gu An was concerned that the True Origin Ancestor could glimpse the cause and effect of the sage.

It wasn't that the sage deliberately showed it to him; he saw it by chance while studying the fortune of the Great Dao Emperors, because in the future, many Great Dao Emperors would have their lifespans taken away by that mysterious being.

Of course, the sage had already noticed the True Origin Ancestor's spying. The reason why the sage did not take action against him was not because he had other plans for the True Origin Ancestor, but because the sage had noticed that there was another sage in the space-time where the True Origin Ancestor was, and dared not act rashly.

Although they haven't met yet, Gu An and that saint have already been secretly exchanging blows.

Even before that sage entered the Chaos Realm, he was already prepared to fight Gu An, which is why Gu An made his disciples aware of his existence in advance.

The methods of a sage are all-pervasive; it's always a good thing to be prepared in advance.

"Master, what should I do in the face of such an existence?" Ancestor Zhenyuan asked Gu An cautiously.

He had never felt so nervous before; even without truly facing the mysterious being of the future, he felt fear.

He couldn't describe the feeling, but he was terrified of it.

Even the most powerful being in the Heavenly Dao could not give him this feeling.

After deducing that being, he couldn't settle down to cultivate, always fearing that the being would transcend time and kill him.

He felt that the other person possessed the ability to transcend time.

The True Essence Ancestor believed that if such a terrifying being, which grew stronger through killing, was not contained, it would grow to the point where it could destroy everything.

Even though the other party is in the future, and he can stop them as long as he lives to the future, he feels that the other party has only gone to the future and does not belong to the future.

The fear of the unknown enveloped the heart of the True Origin Ancestor. Only after he came before Gu An did this fear subside, but the memory still made his heart pound.

"What do you think you can do?" Gu An turned to look at the True Essence Ancestor and asked.

The True Essence Ancestor looked somber and sighed, "There's nothing I can do."

"If you can't do it, it means that it's not an enemy you can handle. Why worry? You're not the only one in this world."

Gu An chuckled softly, which made the True Essence Ancestor smile wryly.

He understood this principle, but he was afraid that he was the only one who would notice this calamity.

No matter how he thought about it, his master's words of comfort did make him feel much better.

However, there was no solution to this problem, and he couldn't let it go.

"Master, who can do it?" asked the True Essence Ancestor.

The sea breeze blew into the woods, passing between them, and ruffled Gu An's robes and hair.

Gu An's smile brightened, and he said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Of course it's me. Who else can you think of?"

Ancestor Zhenyuan was stunned.

He knew his master was very strong, but his master had always been very humble. He came here only to discuss countermeasures with his master, and did not intend to put all the pressure on his master.

"Master, you..."

The True Origin Ancestor opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

In his mind, no one was more powerful than his master, perhaps even the legendary Heavenly Emperor, though he had never seen the Heavenly Emperor. If his master didn't go to deal with that terrifying being, who else could?
But the thought of his master actually having to face the terrifying existence of the future made his heart clench, fearing that his master would fail.

Gu An saw through his thoughts and found it amusing. It seemed that his persona was still too profound, making this disciple somewhat suspicious.

If it were a second-generation disciple of Wushi, they would already be looking forward to seeing what fate awaited that enemy.

"Stay on Fangcun Island and cultivate for a while," Gu An said, turning his back to the True Essence Ancestor.

Ancestor Zhenyuan nodded; he did indeed need time to calm down.

only……

As the True Origin Ancestor looked at Gu An's retreating figure, he felt both anticipation and trepidation.

……

On the barren land, raging fires form oceans that adorn the surface, while above them, the starry sky is dazzling, and the aurora borealis divides the cosmos, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

High in the sky, a huge red-roofed tower floats, emitting beams of red light that shine into the depths of the universe.

Wearing a silver-white fairy robe, Zhu Xi stood on the first floor of the pagoda, gazing at the starry sky.

This place is no longer the land of the Heavenly Dao; Zhu Xi often stands here to observe the chaos.

Even without encountering any living beings, gazing at the starry sky allows her to comprehend the Great Dao.

Chaos is beautiful, making her feel that she was born to be in chaos.

She even had an idea: to leave the Heavenly Court and explore the Chaos on her own.

But when she thought of the Holy Court she had founded, and all her disciples and followers, she felt that she should not leave at this time of year.

"Chaos may seem beautiful, but that's only what you see. It's far more dangerous and darker than the Heavenly Dao."

A voice came from behind. Zhu Xi turned around and saw an old immortal slowly floating over.

The old immortal was dressed in a yellow robe, with white hair and a youthful face. He was tall and held a whisk in his hand. His long beard reached his chest, and his expression was indifferent.

Upon seeing him, Zhu Xi immediately raised her hand in greeting and said, "Your Majesty."

This old immortal is named Great Yellow Heavenly Deity, a supreme immortal of the Heavenly Court with extremely high seniority, and also the owner of this pagoda.

For Zhu Xi, who had just entered the Heavenly Court, the Supreme Immortal was the highest deity she had ever encountered. In addition, along the way, the Great Yellow Heavenly Deity often preached to them, so she naturally held him in the highest esteem.

"God, how much do you know about Chaos? Where is the most dangerous place?" Zhu Xi asked the Great Yellow Heaven God.

The Great Yellow Heavenly God walked to her side, looked at the aurora in the distance, and said, "I don't know how big the chaos is. As for the most dangerous place I have been to, I can't mention it. Once I mention it, I will be drawn into it from a distance and it will be difficult to escape."

His tone changed, becoming wistful.

These words did not frighten Zhu Xi; instead, they made her even more curious about Chaos.

She was about to ask another question.

suddenly.

A bright light illuminated them, and she instinctively turned her head to look. She saw a streak of light flying towards them at an extremely fast speed, so fast that she couldn't react.

The Great Yellow Heavenly Deity raised his hand, seemingly wanting to shield her.

boom--

The intense light engulfed them, and under Zhu Xi's gaze, the Great Yellow Heaven God was reduced to ashes.
