God of Pets

Chapter 753 Ten Clans Gather
When Chen Guan left Lotus Temple, he was still pondering the words the abbot of Lotus Temple had said to him.

Those four sentences were not spoken by the Lotus Temple Master, nor were they rumors fabricated by the ten great families for their own benefit.

This is a prediction and manifestation of the Lotus Abbot's innate talent, a hint about what might happen in the future.

In the past, all of the future predictions made by the Lotus Master have come true without exception.

However, sometimes the way things come true may not be what people imagine.

For example, the Lotus Temple Master once received a future hint: "A hurricane will strike Tian Dong City." In reality, it didn't mean there was any hurricane; it meant that a group of bandits called Hurricane wanted to massacre the city and steal its goods.

Therefore, interpreting these future hints requires the personal knowledge, experience, and logical reasoning abilities of the Lotus Abbot.

Of course, besides these, there are some rules for analyzing future hints. Most of them can be analyzed within the rules without going too far off-topic.

The reason why the Ten Heavenly Kings believed in the Ghost Taoist was because they believed in his innate talent.

However, they each had their own understanding of what these future hints meant, and they wouldn't necessarily believe everything the Taoist priest said.

Most of the Ten Heavenly Kings now believe that the Demon Child will be a hindrance to their future and have not listened to the Ghost Taoist's explanation.

Therefore, the Taoist priest had no choice but to find the demon child himself and plan to raise it according to his own ideas.

The reason he told Chen Guan all this was because Chen Guan was a key reason for the birth of the Demon Child, that is, the cause of the Demon Child's birth.

Every cause has its effect; if the Ten Heavenly Kings were to investigate, Chen Guan would not escape unscathed.

Therefore, the Lotus Temple Master needed Chen Guan's help to conceal the news of the Demon Child's descent into the world, giving the Demon Child enough time to grow.

This is for the good of Mo Zi, and also for the good of Chen Guan.

Chen Guan was naturally very willing to cooperate; as long as he didn't cause him trouble, he was willing to cooperate with anything.

As for who was right in those four sentences, Chen Guan didn't care.

Because the Lotus Temple Master's talent is a product of his own innate rules.

What do other people's rules have to do with Chen Guan? He doesn't need to care at all.

After breaking through the Buddha shell formed by my inner flames, Chen Guan's mind was clear. He had his own rules and laws, and the things of others were irrelevant to him.

At this point, Chen Guan already possessed the conditions for the Seventh Sense.

If it were someone else, they would have already reached the seventh level of enlightenment when they broke through the shell of my inner flame.

However, Chen Guan's insights were different. They were not the product of a flash of inspiration, but rather an absolute control and understanding of his own awakening.

"Whether I am a god, an immortal, a saint, or a Buddha doesn't matter. I make my own rules." So when Chen Guan doesn't want the Seven Awakenings, he can choose not to use them, and when he wants them, no one can stop him.

The reason he didn't choose to be in the Seventh Awakening now is because he hasn't finished what he did before, he hasn't been able to vent his anger for Ji Nanhong, and he hasn't completely driven the Heavenly Court Army out of Tianzhu Cave.

However, that day shouldn't be too far off. With Luo Yuanfei dead, the Heavenly Court army will likely be pressing in, and the only one coming will be Xiu Jieming.

The only one qualified to command the twenty-four legions of the Heavenly Pillar Cave Heaven is this eldest son of the Xiu family.

"My battle with Xiu Jieming is finally coming." Chen Guan was also looking forward to it, wondering just how strong Xiu Jieming had become now.

When Chen Guan returned to the Southern Heavenly Kingdom, he found that there were many more people there, and the kingdom was much more lively than before. "Chen Guan, I've come to help you." Duan Shulin ran over, followed by Duan Hualong, who looked like a young boy.

"Did your elders allow you to come?" Chen Guan asked.

"Without their permission, I can't even leave the house." Duan Shulin said with a wry smile, "Don't mention these frustrating things. Just tell us what you need. All kinds of secret techniques, skills, pets, etc. Our Duan family will give you an additional 30% off on top of the internal price, which is basically equivalent to a 50% discount. This time, our Duan family is determined to support you to the end. Just go ahead and buy as much as you want. If you really can't keep up, you can even buy on credit. There's no limit."

Chen Guan knew the weight of Duan Shulin's words; the Duan family was indeed betting everything on him this time.

Actually, it can't be said that they're betting on him; they don't have high hopes for Chen Guan himself.

The conflict between the Southern Heavenly Kingdom has evolved to the point where it is no longer simply a battle between Chen Guan and the Heavenly Court army.

The ten great families intend to use this battle to teach the ancestral court, the court chief, and the Heavenly Court army a lesson, letting them know who the true king of China is.

Therefore, the Duan family's bets were not only on Chen Guan, but also on the other side of the ten major families.

Moreover, all ten major families sent people over, and even the Shang and Gong families sent people over.

Among them were many young people from the ten major families who were on good terms with Chen Guan, such as Shang Ziyi from the Shang family, and Gu Shan and Zi Pao from the lineage of Du Tian Wang.

Of course, Gushan and Zipao are not actually young people.

In addition, there were some people that Chen Guan knew, but they did not know.

For example, Gong Mingwang from the Gong family was someone Chen Guan recognized, but Gong Mingwang did not recognize Chen Guan.

Besides the people from the ten major families, many forces that were affiliated with the ten major families also sent people over.

For a time, the Southern Heaven Kingdom truly became a gathering place for heroes from all over the world, and it became lively again.

Huang Tianming didn't know whether to be happy or worried. His title as the ruler of the Southern Heaven Kingdom and the Southern Overlord had become incredibly popular throughout China. Everyone knew him.

But he knew perfectly well that the current situation had nothing to do with him; he was merely a tool in the struggle between the ten great families and the ancestral court.

Huang Tianming sometimes felt lost, unsure of what to do next. Even if he defeated the Heavenly Army, could he still protect the Southern Heavenly Kingdom?
"Grand Preceptor, will the Southern Heaven Kingdom still be surnamed Huang in the future?" Huang Tianming had no one to confide in, so he could only ask Chen Guan.

"Of course, in the future, not only will the Southern Heaven Kingdom be surnamed Huang, but at least half of the places in this Heavenly Pillar Cave will also be surnamed Huang," Chen Guan said with a smile.

"You mean, I can share the benefits of Tianzhu Cave Heaven with the Qin family?" Huang Tianming's eyes widened, his heart filled with joy, yet he was also somewhat incredulous.

"That depends on how you think about it." Chen Guan knew, of course, that Huang Tianming alone could not support the Southern Heaven Kingdom, nor could he share the Heavenly Pillar Cave Heaven with the Qin family.

However, if Huang Tianming only wants a reputation and a portion of the profits, then Chen Guan can help him take over the resources that originally belonged to the Heavenly Court Army.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Huang Tianming has to give him most of the resources; otherwise, why would he go to such great lengths to help Huang Tianming?

After driving the Heavenly Army out of Tianzhu Cave Heaven, he could have easily cooperated with the Qin family and simply waited to collect the money.

However, Chen Guan also wanted to leave some property for himself within the cave, which is why he considered cooperating with Huang Tianming.

After expressing his meaning, Huang Tianming considered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I am still the ruler of the Southern Heaven Kingdom, everything else is negotiable."
