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

Chapter 594 A Trickster's Fate
Under the cover of night, firelight flickered halfway up the mountain. Bai Sheng, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Spirit God, sat cross-legged in front of the fire, practicing his internal energy to heal his injuries.

He didn't notice that someone was watching him from the top of the mountain next to him.

"Is he the god of this vast world?"

Shen Zhen looked down at Bai Sheng and asked with a curious expression.

In her eyes, Bai Sheng was very ordinary and didn't seem like a god at all.

Although Bai Sheng has now been reborn, he is still an insignificant figure in the world, and he is facing the greatest tribulation in his life.

The most important person to him has been captured by a peerless demon and will be taken as a demon concubine by that demon. The news has spread throughout the demon land, and demon kings from all walks of life are preparing to go and offer their congratulations. If he wants to snatch the bride, he will be facing the entire demon race of the demon land.

He was under immense pressure, but he had no choice but to cultivate alone in this desolate wilderness.

While sensing the pressure in Bai Sheng's heart, Gu An replied, "He is a reincarnation of a god. Don't underestimate him because he is weak. His soul is the most powerful being in the world."

Shen Zhen really wanted to ask how she compared to you, but she felt it was unnecessary to ask that question.

“He seems very troubled,” Shen Zhen said softly, staring at Bai Sheng.

Gu An glanced at her and secretly admired her.

Although her cultivation level was not high, her eyesight was improving as she comprehended the Dao.

In terms of perception of the Great Dao alone, Shen Zhen is definitely the strongest among the disciples of the Daoist temple. She is walking an unconventional path of cultivation.

Gu An briefly recounted the story of Bai Sheng and Su Jin, as well as the predicament he was currently facing.

Su Jin was captured by a demon at the Divine Sense True Immortal Realm, the strongest being on this land. If Su Jin hadn't pleaded for him, Bai Sheng would have already died at the hands of that demon.

During the years that Bai Sheng cultivated under Su Jin's guidance, the two, one human and one demon, had long since married, and Su Jin had saved Bai Sheng countless times.

He couldn't imagine how he would live without Su Jin.

The thought of Su Jin's potential suffering tormented him greatly.

Shen Zhen looked interested after hearing this.

She was no ordinary woman; she wasn't moved to tears by the story of Bai Sheng and Su Jin. She was thinking about something else entirely.

How could Su Jin transcend reincarnation and find the reincarnation of a god?
She vaguely guessed that Gu An was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

"Let's go down and see him."

After saying these words, Gu An headed down the mountain, with Shen Zhen following closely behind.

She walked behind Gu An and asked, "Are you going to help him?"

The fact that a dignified god was suffering the torment of reincarnation here reminded Shen Zhen of the earth-shattering battle before the world was reshaped.

Based on her understanding of Gu An, she knew that Gu An was not trying to play tricks on the gods, but rather wanted the gods to know the suffering of mortals, so that he could become the immortal god that all living beings yearn for.

Throughout history, there have been countless legends of immortals and gods, but very few immortals and gods have actually descended to earth to save the world. For cultivators, immortals and gods are more like a goal.

Cultivators yearn for immortals and gods, not for their responsibilities, but for the power to live forever.

Gu An walked ahead and chuckled softly, "Helping him is also helping those demons."

Bai Sheng was no ordinary person after all. Once he awakened the will of the Heavenly Spirit God, he could annihilate those monsters with just a thought.

Of course, if Gu An had helped those demons suppress the Heavenly Spirit God, they wouldn't have ended up like that. But why would Gu An help them?
Forcing someone to marry another person's beloved is inherently unjust.

Shen Zhen quickened her pace and came to his side. The two walked towards Bai Sheng.

With Gu An's magical help, Bai Sheng couldn't sense Shen Zhen's presence or hear her footsteps at all.

When the two of them arrived in front of Bai Sheng, Gu An coughed lightly, startling Bai Sheng into opening his eyes.

Upon seeing the two people suddenly appear in front of him, Bai Sheng was so frightened that he immediately jumped up, quickly creating distance between them, and looked at Gu An and Shen Zhen warily.

He instinctively assumed that Gu An and the other person were humanoid demons, capable of appearing before him without his noticing, their cultivation must be higher than his. Could they be subordinates sent by the Demon Emperor?
Bai Sheng drew his sword, ready for battle.

Looking at his expression, Gu An asked with a smile, "Don't you remember me?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Sheng asked hesitantly, "You are...?"

He had only known Gu An for less than a year, and now countless years had passed. He had long forgotten Gu An, but occasionally when he thought of the first time he witnessed the power of cultivation, he would think of an old friend who had died in that city.

"I am Gu An, Brother Bai, have you forgotten? I accompanied you to the imperial examination and even taught you swordsmanship," Gu An said with a helpless smile.

After hearing this, Bai Sheng thought about it carefully. His eyes widened quickly. He didn't believe Gu An. Instead, he pinched himself, thinking that he had fallen under a monster's illusion.

His actions made Shen Zhen cover her mouth and chuckle.

Gu An patiently explained, "We are not monsters in disguise. If that's what you think, we have no reason to play tricks on you; we'll just kill you."

Bai Sheng thought it made sense, but he never expected that the person he remembered who had died long ago was still alive and would appear in front of him.

He overlooked one thing: Gu An actually knew what he was thinking.

"Brother Gu...where did you go back then?" Bai Sheng asked awkwardly. So much time had passed that he had long forgotten what it felt like to be with Gu An.

Gu An sat in front of the fire and gestured for Bai Sheng to come back.

Shen Zhen sat gracefully beside Gu An, looking like a celestial fairy. Judging from the direction her knees were facing, it was clear that Gu An was in charge.

Bai Sheng took a deep breath and returned to the fire. He was desperate; if he couldn't rescue Su Jin, there was no point in living.

His gaze hardened, and he sat back down in his previous seat.

“Talking to me is pointless. Do you want to save Su Jin?” Gu An picked up a stick and asked while poking at the firewood.

Bai Sheng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "You have a way? I'm willing to give anything to help me rescue her!"

Gu An looked up at him, his gaze sharpening, and asked, "What if I asked you to die?"

"I'm willing too!" Bai Sheng answered without hesitation.

Gu An continued, "If you die, she might marry someone else. What difference would it make if she did? That demon doesn't want to kill her."

Bai Sheng's expression changed slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "It's different. I hope she can pursue the happiness she wants, instead of being coerced. As long as you can save her, I'm willing to die at any time!"

This scene reminded Gu An of the time when the eldest brother saved Xiao Wu. Back then, Su Jin was like Gu An now, giving the eldest brother hope, but requiring him to pay with his life.

Fate really does play tricks on people.

Gu An lowered his eyes to look at the fire, seemingly considering whether or not to save Su Jin.

Bai Sheng pressed further, "That Demon Emperor is a True Immortal of Divine Sense, residing in the eighth heaven of the Immortal Path. Do you know any beings stronger than him?"

He noticed that his question made the woman next to Gu An chuckle again; the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, as if she were mocking him.

Gu An said leisurely, "No rush, let me tell you a story."

Bai Sheng was extremely anxious and had no time to listen to stories, but before he could refuse, Gu An had already begun to tell them.

"Beyond the heavens, deep within the universe, there is a gate called the Gate of Boundaries, and beneath the Gate of Boundaries dwells a god named the Celestial Spirit God..."

Beyond the heavens!

god!
Bai Sheng was immediately captivated and listened attentively as Gu An continued speaking.

Shen Zhen was listening attentively, and she even began to fantasize about such a scene.

A colossal gate stands tall in the starry sky, beneath which dwells a god...

Images gradually formed in her mind, and she even saw other scenes.
