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

Chapter 520 The Tree of the Great Dao, the Chess Piece of the God Emperor

Deep in the universe.

The boundary gate stands tall, where time seems to stand still, and the years cannot touch this magnificent gate.

At this moment, a bright light shone from within the gate, and a figure slowly stepped out from the light. This was a mysterious being clad in black armor, with the area beneath his helmet as black as a black hole, making it impossible for anyone to see his true face.

It was none other than the God Emperor of Annihilation!

The God Emperor of Annihilation held his right palm facing upwards, with a golden token floating in his palm. The token was as long as a knife, with exquisite carvings on its surface, radiating brilliant golden light.

As he stepped out of the boundary gate, he stopped and turned to look at the figure of the Heavenly Spirit God.

Seven more figures emerged from the gate, both men and women, each with an ethereal and extraordinary bearing, their gazes also fixed on the Heavenly Spirit God.

"Whatever you wish to do, you must not destroy this great world, otherwise the Heavenly Decree in your hands will not protect you."

The voice of the Heavenly Spirit God rang out, his tone indifferent yet unyielding.

Before the God Emperor of Annihilation could speak, a white-robed man behind him raised his hand in salute and said with a smile, "God, please rest assured, we are only here to capture one person and will not break the rules of the Great Thousand World."

The Heavenly Spirit God did not respond, and the Annihilation God Emperor followed and stepped into the depths of the universe, with the white-robed man and others following closely behind.

Soon, the void fell silent again. The intense light within the boundary gate dissipated, and the surrounding environment darkened, leaving only the light emanating from the Heavenly Spirit God.

……

Although the arrival of the God Emperor of Annihilation attracted Gu An's attention, he did not take the initiative to attack because he could sense that the God Emperor of Annihilation also had the cultivation of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

Fighting someone of the same cultivation level is inappropriate!

Gu An, who was lying on the tree branch, sat up.

Alright, let's do a lifespan simulation!

[Requires 100,000,000,000 years of lifespan. Continue?]

Ok?
Five billion years of lifespan?

This is too expensive!
Gu An directly chose no, there was no need to waste his lifespan, anyway, the aura of the Annihilation God Emperor did not make him feel afraid.

Even the God Emperor of Annihilation could not discover the Beginningless Dojo, unless the God Emperor of Annihilation wanted to destroy the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

Although many people in this world have seen Gu An, Gu An has already tampered with their karma, and no one can trace it back to the Wushi Dao Temple.

Gu An lay back down and continued reading.

We'll talk about it when the sky falls!

It must be said that Xuan Tianyi's writing skills have improved significantly in recent years, and his descriptions of emotions are very delicate and touching.

Gu An read intently, able to visualize the scene through the words, feeling the burning passion of the characters' emotions.

Five days passed between sunset and moonrise before Anxin and the others finally woke up. The reason they woke up was that Gu An had withdrawn his Dao intent.

When they saw Gu An sleeping in the tree, they all got up and bowed to him, then left in twos and threes, exchanging their thoughts in hushed tones.

Gu An opened his eyes only after they had all left.

His gaze was fixed on the sky.

The God Emperor of Annihilation has already descended upon the Heavenly Spirit Great World with seven subordinates. Instead of going to the Tai Xuan Sect, they joined the Holy Court.

Could it be that their goal is not to kill Long Qing?

Long Qing's identity has been exposed, even the Candle Star knows it, and the God Emperor of Annihilation must know it as well.

Perhaps the God Emperor of Annihilation wants to possess Long Qing's body again.

After watching for a while and confirming that the God Emperor of Annihilation had no intention of making a move for the time being, Gu An rolled down and prepared to pick herbs.

No matter what schemes or tricks the God Emperor of Annihilation might pull, his path to becoming stronger cannot be halted.

Once he reaches a lifespan of hundreds of billions of years, he will be able to glimpse even higher realms.

Getting stronger is never a bad thing. Meanwhile...

In the Holy Realm, in the council hall of the Holy Court, the Holy Prime Minister sat on the head seat, looking down at the God Emperor of Annihilation and his seven subordinates.

Saint Xiang remembered that the God Emperor of Annihilation had once fought a decisive battle with the Sword Venerable of Supporting the Dao. Although he was killed by the Sword Venerable of Supporting the Dao in one move, the aura he exuded at that time was still fresh in his memory.

"May I ask why you have come?" the Holy Minister asked.

He didn't know why the God Emperor of Annihilation was still alive, but since the Sword Venerable of Supporting the Dao had already left the Heavenly Spirit World, he had to be cautious when facing these powerful beings from beyond the heavens.

Looking at the God Emperor of Annihilation and the others, the Holy Minister felt bitter.

He went through countless hardships and finally reached the realm of freedom, but he faced even more powerful and stronger opponents. He felt as if the heavens were playing a cruel joke on him.

The white-robed man behind the God Emperor of Annihilation stepped forward and laughed, "Now the Immortal Dynasty has an existence that surpasses the Free Immortal. Once he merges with the destiny of the Immortal God, the Holy Court will not be far from destruction."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister's face turned ugly. He had been concerned about this matter but was powerless to do anything about it. Now that it had been exposed by others, how could he be in a good mood?

It's obvious that these people want to take advantage of the Holy Court!

The key issue is that the Holy Court is indeed on its last legs. While it may not seem to be in imminent danger of destruction, it is only a matter of time.

It was precisely because he could not refuse these people's schemes that the Prime Minister could not maintain a natural expression.

The white-robed man laughed and said, "Even if that Yang Immortal Emperor has fused with the destiny of an immortal god, he is no match for us. We can assist the Holy Court, and you don't need to worry that the Holy Court will become a puppet in our hands, because we will leave sooner or later. We came to this world only to cultivate one person."

The Holy Minister asked, "May I ask who you are? Are you within my Holy Court?"

The white-robed man shook his head and said, "No, we just need the Holy Court to create trouble for him, to better hone him, and to make him grow stronger."

After hearing this, the Prime Minister fell silent.

“We will not help you directly destroy Emperor Yang. You should already be aware of the existence of the calamity of heaven and earth and the will of the Heavenly Dao. If Emperor Yang attacks the Holy Court, we will naturally take action. Until then, we will remain in the Holy Court,” the white-robed man continued.

These words did indeed move the Prime Minister.

He could sense that this group of people were very strong; any one of them gave him the feeling of facing the Sword Master Fudao.

The most crucial point is that he has no room to refuse; if he does, things will only get worse, and he might even lose his life.

Just as the Holy Minister sighed inwardly, the God Emperor of Annihilation raised his hand, and a wooden staff flew out from his palm. It was a red wooden staff with a curved, snake-like tip. Apart from its bright red color, it looked perfectly normal.

The God Emperor of Annihilation spoke, "This staff is made from a piece of Dao wood. It can not only grant you unparalleled power, but also help you comprehend the Great Dao. Consider it a gift for our first meeting."

Just as the Holy Minister was about to speak, the red wooden staff suddenly flew in front of him. Its powerful aura caused his expression to change drastically. He felt the vast Dao intent within the red wooden staff, and his eyes widened involuntarily.

Such a treasure...

The Holy Minister looked at the God Emperor of Annihilation and asked, "Who...who exactly are you?"

The face of the God Emperor of Annihilation was hidden in the darkness. He seemed to be the most mysterious being in the world. He replied, "The so-called Domain of Annihilation is what I created, and Annihilation is my name."

The Prime Minister opened his mouth, his face filled with disbelief.

……

In a valley.

The Taoist Seeking Immortality sat by the lake, gazing at the bright sun on the horizon, and murmured, "So you still can't let go, huh? Whose pawn are you, really?"

Zhu Xi, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the lake, opened her eyes, glanced at him sideways, and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"The existence that creates the energy of annihilation."

"The God Emperor? Even someone like him is just a pawn?"

"That's natural. He's been working tirelessly for the bloodline of the Dragon Clan. Either someone is driving him from behind, or there's an even stronger force pressuring him. The world is getting more and more murky. When the Dao Fruit of Heaven and Earth appears, your pressure will only be greater."

At this point, the Taoist Seeking Immortality revealed a playful expression.

Zhu Xi snorted and said, "The Great Dao Supreme Technique that you taught me is so powerful. With my talent, I have nothing to fear."
