"Zhong Shan, there is a memorial service for His Majesty at the Ancient Abyss. I want to go!" Gu Qianyou said with red eyes.
"Memorial service?" Zhong Shan frowned.
"The Ancient Mystique's cenotaph, as well as the fragments of the Divine Book of the past. In two days, these will be burned to the heavens as an apology for the Ancient Mystique. We will erect a 'Heart Monument' for the Ancient Mystique and place it in the hearts of the people. It will be passed down for eternity, "Shui Wuhen explained.
"Erect a Heart Monument? Yes, the Ancient Mystique's body and soul will be destroyed. It can only be buried in the hearts of the people. "Zhong Shan nodded.
"Zhong Shan!" The Ancient Mystique looked at Zhong Shan with anticipation.
"Your Majesty, the Daluo Celestial Empire has collapsed. We have also retreated from the complicated situation in the Daluo Celestial Empire. It is not appropriate for us to go now. Your Majesty's reputation has shaken the entire Divine Prefecture. I am afraid that someone will harm Your Majesty!" Shui Wuhen immediately advised.
"Your Majesty, I agree with General Shui's words." Mr. Shi nodded.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider," the Fiery Wolf General said.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!" Everyone around him bowed together.
Zhong Shan looked at the kneeling crowd, then looked at the expectant Gu Qianyou. He took a deep breath and said, "Make preparations. Bring the Zhong Family Army to the Ancient Abyss to pay respects to the Ancient Mystique!"
"Yes!" Everyone immediately responded. Although they were unwilling, Zhong Shan had already given the order. They had to carry it out.
Following that, everyone went to make preparations, leaving Gu Qianyou alone.
"Thank you!" Gu Qianyou said with tears in his eyes.
Gu Qianyou looked haggard over the past few days. Worshipping the ancient mystique was what Gu Qianyou wanted to do the most. However, Zhong Shan was more important. Zhong Shan's safety was more important. If Zhong Shan refused to go, he would not force him no matter how sad he was.
Gently supporting Gu Qianyou, Zhong Shan shook his head and said, "I'm going to worship the Ancient Super Powers, not only for you. Even without you, I would still go. The Daluo Sky Empire. All these years, the Ancient Super Powers have helped me a lot and trusted me a lot. From the beginning to the end, whether it's to repay their kindness or to return the favor, I have to go!"
"Mm!" Gu Qianyou nodded.
In the south of the Ancient Abyss, there was a huge mourning hall at the peak of a mountain carved from white jade. There were no pictures, coffins, or corpses in the mourning hall. Even the main hall of the mourning hall was closed.
No one was near the mourning hall. Everyone was standing at the foot of the huge mountain carved from white jade.
The foot of the huge mountain carved from white jade had been smoothed out by the cultivators and was filled with countless experts.
Right below, there was a huge incense burner. There were people serving incense for the worshippers to burn and mourn.
The four crown princes stood on both sides of the main seat. The original officials of the Daluo Sky Empire also came one after another. Some people with high positions would naturally burn incense before retreating to the side.
The original Grand Preceptor of the Daluo Sky Empire, Huan Tulong, was the first to burn incense. After burning incense, he deeply mourned and retreated to the side. It was as if there were other important matters waiting for everyone to talk about after they had paid their respects.
Of course, those who could burn incense were all famous people with high status.
When Zhong Shan arrived, the Ancient Abyss was already filled with people. It was densely packed and endless. There were close to eighty million people. It was a huge number, but compared to the original population of the Daluo Sky Empire, it was still insufficient.
Eighty million people deeply mourned the ancient Super Power.
Of course, these eighty million people were also divided into countless small groups. The leaders of each group went to burn incense. The one million Zhong Family troops were only slightly more than one percent of the eighty million people. Therefore, they were not too conspicuous. However, when they saw Zhong Shan at the front, everyone fell silent.
Zhong Shan, the original Grand Eastern Duke of the Daluo Sky Empire and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was definitely ranked at the front. Moreover, Zhong Shan's rise was like a legend, filled with endless legends. Such a person's reputation was even greater than the Grand Preceptor of the Daluo Sky Empire and was comparable to the four crown princes.
Zhong Shan had come, and he had brought the entire Zhong Family army with him.
The leaders quickly commanded the military to make a path for the Zhong Family army to pass through.
"Zhong Shan has brought Gu Qianyou to pay their respects …"
A ceremonial officer quickly reported.
Once the Daluo Sky Empire collapsed, everyone's identity was naturally reorganized. Gu Qianyou was no longer called Princess Qianyou.
Following the announcement, everyone looked in the direction of the Zhong Family Army.
The Zhengyi King's eyes were still cloudy, while the Grand Xuan King and Taizong King's eyes lit up. A strange light flashed in Heavenly King Zhan's eyes.
There was no doubt about Zhong Shan's ability. Once the Daluo Sky Empire was destroyed, the four crown princes no longer cared about the past. In the past, the Ancient Mystique wanted to use Zhong Shan, so no one dared to touch him. Now that the Ancient Mystique was dead, who would Zhong Shan belong to?
As they approached, the Zhong Family army quickly stood up straight under Shui Wuhen's guidance. If the Zhong Family army didn't come, they wouldn't be able to see anything. However, when they came, everyone discovered how lazy the other legions were. Looking at the Zhong Family army, they were lined up in a straight line, as if they were carved with a knife. Their bodies were at the front, and only the front row could be seen. The people behind were all hidden behind the first row, not revealing anything.
What a good Zhong Family army!
Looking at such a disciplined army, everyone couldn't help but sigh. To be able to train cultivators so strictly, there was no doubt about the strength of the Zhong Family army.
As for their leader, Zhong Shan, there was no need to talk about it.
Zhong Shan and Gu Qianyou looked at the white jade mountain before them and the huge mourning hall. They sighed softly.
At this moment, someone came to deliver incense.
Zhong Shan and Gu Qianyou grabbed a bunch each. They walked to the front where the incense burner was.
When Qianyou was young, she lost her parents. It was Your Majesty who took care of Qianyou the most. Qianyou will never forget that. Your Majesty, don't worry. Qianyou is all grown up now, and knows how to take care of herself. Furthermore, I have found someone to entrust my life to. Zhong Shan has done all your tests, Your Majesty … "
Gu Qianyou walked up emotionally and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
Zhong Shan, who was at the side, sighed softly.
"Gu Mystic Power, you are the person that I, Zhong Shan, respect the most. I am eternally grateful for your care for all these years. Gu Qianyou is already my wife, and I will take good care of her. The Zhong Family army has also become famous because of you. Today, I bring Qianyou and the members of the Zhong Family army to pay our respects to you and address you as Your Majesty for the last time!" Zhong Shan said. He then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
"Long live the Emperor of the Great Havenlaw Celestial Empire!" Zhong Shan shouted.
Following Zhong Shan's shout, Gu Qianyou and the million Zhong Family army behind him bowed at the same time.
"Long live the Emperor of the Great Havenlaw Celestial Empire!"
The million people's shouts pierced the heavens and shook everyone's hearts. After the shouts, there was complete silence.
The people at the side all looked at Zhong Shan. Zhong Shan's words were naturally heard by everyone. Everyone could see that Zhong Shan was grateful to Gu Mystic Power. In his words, it was more of a farewell.
Not only did Zhong Shan bid farewell, but the Zhong Family army also bid farewell to their relationship with the Great Havenlaw Celestial Empire. Leaving?
Seeing this scene, the princes' eyes tightened.
After paying his respects, Zhong Shan turned to leave with the Zhong Family army. He didn't even want to say goodbye to the four princes.
"Zhong Shan, please wait!"
The thing that Shui Wuhen and the others were worried about had finally happened. When Zhong Shan turned around, the Grand Preceptor Huan Tulong suddenly called out.
It was no wonder that the Grand Preceptor Huan Tulong called out Zhong Shan. The four princes also wanted to call out Zhong Shan, not only because of his ability, but also because of his cultivation.
The four princes and Huan Tulong were all Ultimate Emperor Realm experts. When everyone looked at Zhong Shan, they couldn't see through Zhong Shan's cultivation? What was a Ultimate Emperor Realm expert if they couldn't see through his cultivation? He was at least in the Ultimate Emperor Realm.
Ultimate Emperor Realm? Zhong Shan had already reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm? How could it be? It hadn't even been a hundred years, and Zhong Shan had already reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm from the Gold Core Stage? When Zhong Shan first entered the Great Havenlaw Celestial Empire, he was just in the first tier of the Gold Core Stage. What was going on now?
It was too fast, too abnormal. Even a genius wouldn't be so fast. This wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was Zhong Shan's constitution. What kind of constitution did Zhong Shan have? Although he couldn't see through it now, he had seen through Zhong Shan in the court of the Daluo Celestial Dynasty in the past. With Zhong Shan's aptitude, it would be impossible for him to reach the Nascent Soul stage in his lifetime. But in less than a hundred years, he had reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm?
It was too unbelievable. This person was too monstrous. If such a person was released, they would lose a lot of help. At the very least, he would be an incomparably powerful threat.
Release him? Huan Tulong immediately called out.
Hearing Huan Tulong's words, the four princes didn't say anything. Zhong Shan turned his head and looked at Huan Tulong.
"Huan Tulong? What's the matter? "Zhong Shan asked.
"It won't be too late to leave after the ceremony," Huan Tulong said.
"There's no need for that. Zhong Shan has already paid his respects. His sincerity is already there." Zhong Shan shook his head.
"His Majesty has something important to say after the ceremony," said Huan Tulong.
"Something big? The Great Havenlaw Celestial Dynasty is no more, and there is no major matter that can implicate me. "Zhong Shan shook his head.
"In the past, His Majesty had left a handwritten order that if he failed to split open the sky, everything of His Majesty would be passed on to King Zhengyi. This is the imperial edict as proof," Huan Tulong said.
Pass it on to Prince Zhengyi? Pass the throne to King Zhengyi? After consolidating his forces, he would pass them on to King Zhengyi? Gu Zhengyi?
Zhong Shan looked at Gu Zhengyi in surprise. Speaking of which, Gu Zhengyi was the most inconspicuous among the four princes. In fact, he didn't even seem to be very capable and mediocre. However, how could a mediocre person become a prince of the Celestial Empire? Or the First Crown Prince of the Celestial Empire?
Zhong Shan had long seen that Gu Zhengyi was extraordinary, but he did not expect the ancient divine power to have such high expectations of Gu Zhengyi. Pass everything to King Zhengyi? This King Zheng Yi who didn't seem to be a powerful person? Concealing his strength and biding his time. Great wisdom may appear to be stupidity! (To be continued.
