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

Chapter 883 Seeing the Heavenly Dao
The Emperor Taishang was stiff all over. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a fair hand on his shoulder, which reminded him of what Gu An had said earlier.

"Even if you are resurrected in Heaven, I will not let you go."

Gu An's words still echoed in his ears, sending a chill down the spine of the Emperor.

He never expected Gu An to arrive so quickly. He had just been resurrected when Gu An stormed into the Heavenly Court, came up behind him, and treated the Heavenly Dao and its fortune as nothing.

He had never heard of such a being before.

The Emperor Taishang turned his head with difficulty and saw that the person standing behind him was Gu An.

Gu An pressed his right hand on his shoulder, looking down at him expressionlessly.

This was the first time the Emperor had seen Gu An's true face. Gu An looked very young, but he did not relax because of this and remained tense.

He felt threatened by death.

The celestial gods of the Heavenly Court rely on the Heavenly Dao's fortune to be immortal and indestructible. But if the other party can destroy the Heavenly Dao's fortune within him, wouldn't he be in danger of dying?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he even had the urge to beg for mercy.

He is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven who holds supreme power in the Heavenly Court!
He wants to become the Heavenly Emperor!

How can one beg for mercy from mortal spirits?
Even if this mortal was once the Supreme Being of Heaven!

The Emperor roared inwardly, but his lips moved uncontrollably.

Gu An looked down at him quietly, letting him endure the torment. Compared to the suffering of those beings who were slaughtered by gods and immortals, what was this torment?
"I……"

The Emperor Emeritus uttered a single word, then his expression changed slightly, and he quickly corrected himself, saying, "I... spare me..."

Gu An asked, "Then can you spare the Three Thousand Great Worlds?"

The Emperor Taishang nodded hurriedly and replied, "I can...I can!"

Gu An gently clenched his right hand, and the Emperor's face showed despair. He could feel his magic power dissipating.

“Give me a chance… I truly know I was wrong! If you destroy me, another emperor will rise to the throne, the struggle for the throne will not end, and the Three Thousand Great Worlds will still be destroyed…”

The Emperor Taishang hurriedly pleaded, unable to get up or break free from Gu An's suppression. He could only feel the magic power within his body dissipating, a feeling that was pushing him into the abyss of despair.

Gu An remained expressionless, which plunged the Emperor into utter despair.

His body grew increasingly weak, and he was about to collapse to the ground.

Suddenly, many images flashed before his eyes, representing his long life.

He was born in a vast world. His mother did not marry when she gave birth to him, which led to him being ostracized within his family. Even his mother was forced to her death. At the moment his mother died, he awakened the power of the Heavenly Emperor's bloodline.

He instantly transformed into a primordial immortal god, becoming the strongest in the world. Possessing the greatest power, he slaughtered the entire family and even alarmed the sect behind the family.

He destroyed his family, which attracted the pursuit of a certain religious sect. After destroying that sect, an even stronger sect came to kill him, calling him a scourge.

He fought and slaughtered relentlessly, venting his anger and hatred until he became an enemy of the world. At that time, he was only seventeen years old and became the demon of his time.

But he was too young and eventually encountered an invincible enemy.

Just when he was in despair, his father, the Heavenly Emperor, descended.

His life took a turn for the better, and he ushered in a brighter future.

The Heavenly Emperor saved him, took him back to the Heavenly Court, and appointed him as the Son of Heaven.

From then on, he became the Son of Heaven, above all living beings, an existence that even immortals and gods envied, and his father, the Heavenly Emperor, became the most admired supreme being.

At first, the Heavenly Emperor was very kind to him and fulfilled all his needs; those were his happiest days.

One day, he went to the Lingxiao Palace to find his father, but was stopped by the heavenly servants. After that, no matter what reason he gave to find his father, he was always prevented from doing so.

Gradually, he realized that he had fallen out of favor. Later, he heard that a new emperor had appeared, who was being taken by his father's side just like he had been.

Over the endless years, his heart grew cold. He witnessed one emperor after another rise to favor, and he also saw emperors like himself being neglected.

He even experienced the terrible disaster of the emperor challenging his father, a battle that shocked the entire Heavenly Court. The emperor was banished to the Nine Netherworld by his father, never to be reborn, and his father also forbade the birth of the Immortal Emperor Tong.

Endurance and growing stronger were the main themes of Taishang's life. He became an emperor no one cared about, and even though he felt that his talent surpassed that of other emperors, he did not show it.

He didn't know when it started, but he began to resent his father, whose willfulness had deeply hurt him. But when he forced his father to back down, he became his father.

The Emperor Emeritus suddenly realized, while working under Gu An, that he had become the person he hated most.

He couldn't tell whether his cleansing of the Three Thousand Great Worlds was aimed at Xuanyuan Renzun or at the hatred buried deep in his heart.

The past events began to subside his fear. Even though he begged for mercy, Gu An had no intention of letting him go. Why should he die so pathetically?
The Emperor lowered his head, his other hand no longer able to support his knee.

Until his magic dissipated, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

He closed his eyes, preparing to face death.

However, after a few breaths, the expected pain did not occur.

He opened his eyes and found Gu An standing beside him. He turned his head to look, but Gu An's face had become blurry.

"Perhaps you, who have no magical powers, can clearly see what the Way of Heaven is."

Gu An's voice reached the ears of the Emperor, and then his figure vanished into thin air.

Upon hearing these words, the Emperor's eyes dimmed, and he turned over and lay supine in the main hall.

This palace was bestowed upon him by his father, the emperor. In recent times, it has become the highest symbol of power in the Heavenly Court, with immortals and gods visiting him every day. But now, looking at the vast universe and starry sea above the palace, he feels utterly bored.

It turns out that his previous belief that he was the strongest was all wishful thinking.

He was utterly defeated in the face of a true powerhouse.

He closed his eyes, a bitter smile on his face.

The Primordial Master Wushi destroyed his cultivation. Based on this method alone, he was certain that the Primordial Master Wushi had the ability to kill him.

He didn't understand why the Master Wushi didn't kill him—whether he wanted to torture him or let him go—but he knew that he would face the scrutiny of the entire Heavenly Court.

How can someone without cultivation wield great power?
After a while, a voice came from outside the hall: "Your Highness, are you there?"

The Emperor Taishang opened his eyes, his gaze gradually becoming sharp.

It's this guy again!
He came so quickly, wasn't it just to confirm whether I had lost?

The Supreme Emperor stood up and looked at the palace gate. He knew that once the gate was opened, his days would change from dominating the Heavenly Court to struggling to survive.

"I am the Supreme Emperor, the Son of Heaven whose power was personally handed over to me by my father. If I am no match for the Primordial Ancestor, how can I not suppress you bunch of scum?"

As the Emperor Taishang thought to himself, his entire demeanor suddenly changed, instantly returning to his previous supreme and disdainful attitude.

the other side.

Inside the Wushi Dao Temple.

Gu An emerged from the forest and walked towards Su Han.

Su Han was still practicing his sword when Gu An approached him and asked, "Grandmaster, there were some strange phenomena in the heavens and earth earlier, but they came and went quickly. Did someone fail their tribulation?"

Gu An took a book out of his pocket, then walked to a big tree and sat down. He casually replied, "Perhaps."

Seeing that he wasn't interested, Su Han changed the subject and sighed, "Recently, strange phenomena have been occurring frequently. It seems that the pressure that the immortals and gods have placed on the cultivators of the world is too great. I wonder if the immortals and gods will make a comeback. When will the Three Thousand Great Worlds be able to return to peace?"

As Gu An turned the page, he replied, "The immortals and gods will eventually depart, and as for when peace will return, we'll only know in the future."

Su Han swung his sword while glancing at Gu An.

Watching his grandmaster reading under the tree, keeping him company in his cultivation, he suddenly felt very lucky.

Regardless, he should cherish his current life.

One day, he will become stronger than gods and immortals!
He also wanted to protect his master, protect Wushi, and even protect the Heavenly Spirit World.

If possible, he wanted to personally end this calamity in the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

His intuition told him that this calamity would last a very long time.

　coming!
