Read! There was one person in the Thirteen Skies. Gu Nan had heard of his name a long time ago, but he had never seen him in person.
This person was the Star Lord of the Nine Spirits Heaven, Jiu Po.
Jiu Po was one of the oldest Dao Fusing cultivators in the universe. He was from almost the same generation as Elder Zi Luo. Ever since he reached Dao Fusing, he had always been the most mysterious Dao Fusing cultivators.
How mysterious was he?
It could be said that there were definitely no more than thirty people in the universe who knew what Jiu Po looked like, including the various Dao Fusing cultivators.
Gu Nan was fortunate enough to be another person who had seen Jiu Po's appearance.
However, after seeing Jiu Po, he felt that there was really nothing special about him. It was as if he had not seen him at all — he had the face of an ordinary middle-aged man who was always smiling. He did not have the aura of a mysterious big boss like in novels at all.
Based on the limitless number of human appearances, there might be hundreds of people who looked exactly like him in the various major dimensions.
"Gu Nan, I've wanted to meet you for a long time," Jiu Po said to Gu Nan with a smile.
Gu Nan glanced at him and said, "I heard that you're in cahoots with Song Fei?"
Back when Song Fei reached Dao Fusing, Jiu Po had played a part in it. If it wasn't for his help, Song Fei definitely wouldn't have been able to kill Elder Zi Luo.
Jiu Po shook his head and said, "You should say that I invested in him."
"Isn't that the same?" Gu Nan shrugged. "If Song Fei died, you wouldn't be able to get a return on your investment. Wouldn't you help him?"
Towards these words, Jiu Po laughed. "There are exceptions. For example, I invested in a new target, and this new target's return will be higher. "
Gu Nan finally nodded in understanding. "So you want to invest in me? Then what resources do you have to invest in me? "
"I can help you kill gods," Jiu Po said without changing his expression. "Gods."
…
A new round of Dao Fusing cultivators finally began. This time, there were a total of sixteen people present.
The original Thirteen Skies led by Yu Lian, as well as Gu Nan, Elder Zi Luo, and Immortal Dream. With the return of two old comrades and the advancement of a newcomer, thirteen days became sixteen days.
If nothing unexpected happened, from this day onwards, the name "Sixteen Heavens" would be known by the world, and it would be used to describe this group of top-notch experts.
These sixteen heavens were: Paradise Heaven, God Emperor Heaven, Nine Soul Heaven … and This World Is Already Full Heaven.
Sixteen Dao Integration Cultivators gathered in the Dongxu Heaven. This was the first time Gu Nan had seen so many Dao Integration Cultivators appear in the same place at the same time, even though he had seen all of them before.
Yu Lian naturally sat at the head of the table. Below her were Jiu Po and a young man with a solemn expression. He was the Star Lord of Divine Emperor Heaven, Zhao Renwang.
In the history of the Myriad Heavens World, the structure of the Myriad Heavens World wasn't like this in ancient times. Instead, it was divided into Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Realms.
The Three Realms were not isolated from each other, so the ancient people could travel freely in the Three Realms.
After a great change in the world, the Three Realms completely collapsed and split into countless planes of various sizes.
However, the most essential parts of the Three Realms were preserved and managed by the three Sages of that time. Until now, they were still at the Dao Integration level.
The Heaven Realm had the direct descendants of orthodox Daoism, which was the current Paradise Heaven. The Earth Realm had lost the power of reincarnation in the netherworld, but it was able to become a normal plane, which was the current Nine Soul Heaven. The Mortal Realm had evolved over thousands of years, and there were many almighty human beings, which was the current God Emperor Heaven.
This was the origin of the three most ancient Astral Realms: Paradise Heaven, Divine Emperor Heaven, and Nine Soul Heaven.
Of course, the current masters of these three Astral Realms were no longer the three Sages of the past. Even Jiu Po, who was the oldest, was not the first master of the Nine Soul Heaven.
However, unlike the other two realms, Jiu Po had snatched the core of the Earth Realm from the hands of the previous Sage when he died, and then changed its name to the Nine Soul Heaven.
Now, when people talked about the Nine Soul Heaven, the core topic was still its origin. This showed how powerful this move was.
Gu Nan retracted his gaze from Jiu Po and looked at Yu Lian and Zhao Renwang. These two had inherited the Astral Realms from their ancestors for many generations.
The Paradise Heaven was the origin of Daoism, and it had always been said that it ruled over all realms. Therefore, whenever a new Dao Integration Cultivator appeared, the Paradise Heaven would host the meeting.
The Divine Emperor Heaven was more interesting. Every Star Lord of this Astral Realm would change their name to Human King. The only difference was that their surnames were different.
Compared to the Paradise Heaven's attitude of meddling in everything, the Divine Emperor Heaven was more like a self-enclosed Astral Realm.
It did not completely seal itself off from the outside world like Gu Nan. However, if one wanted to join the Divine Emperor Heaven, they had to go through a strict examination, and it was more through internal reproduction.
Simply put, the main task of every generation's King was to protect their own Astral Realm, so that the Human Race's tinder could burn forever in the Divine Emperor Heaven.
As for what happened outside, that had nothing to do with them.
"I called everyone here this time because a new Dao Integration Cultivator has appeared. Zi Luo and Mengxian are old friends, and I'm sure everyone has met Gu Nan. "Yu Lian did not put on airs and spoke in the most straightforward manner.
Deep down, she knew that the Paradise Heaven ruled over all realms was just a name. If there was really a conflict of interest, no one would care about it at all.
Only when something like this needed to be hosted would everyone remember that there was such a thing.
"According to convention." Yu Lian stood up and said to Gu Nan, "Gu Nan, I need you to offer incense to the seniors. Then, the seniors … Forget it. I reckon you won't be happy. Let's get down to business."
Halfway through her sentence, Yu Lian thought that there was no need to ask. She simply moved on to the next step of the procedure.
When they got down to business, Yu Lian's expression became even more serious. She stared at Gu Nan and said, "We Dao Integration Cultivators can enjoy freedom in the world, but we also have to bear the heavy responsibility of the world."
"What do you mean? Do we really need to save the world? "Gu Nan could not help but ask as he recalled some of his previous criticisms.
"Not really …" Yu Lian was somewhat speechless. "Maintaining the normal operation of all the realms and nurturing more and more powerful Celestial Lords is our responsibility."
Nurturing Celestial Lords was directly ignored by Gu Nan. The first sentence made him frown slightly. "The operation of all the realms and realms is maintained by Dao Integration Cultivators?"
"Strictly speaking, yes." Yu Lian nodded. "When you first became a Celestial Lord and were looking for your own Astral Realm, you should have been to a place called the Inner World."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "In a sense, the Inner World does not exist. It is a control center that we have created by gathering everyone's power."
Gu Nan's mind suddenly became clear. All the questions he had about entering and exiting the Inner World back then had been answered at this moment.
No wonder the Inner World's existence was so strange. It was as if it was specially made to facilitate Celestial Lords in finding Astral Realms.
No wonder the World of Gods, which was similar in nature to the Paradise Heaven, had never heard of a similar product.
No wonder the rules of the Inner World appeared rigid and sluggish. It turned out that it was a man-made product …
"What exactly do we need to do?" Gu Nan could not help but be curious.
