"Do you think we're afraid of you?"
The one who'd spoken was the one who'd been hostile to Gu Li from the very beginning. As soon as Gu Li finished speaking, he gestured to fight.
However, the situation was rather awkward. He was the only one of the Four Auxiliary Stars to attack. The others didn't move.
"We didn't come here to fight. What are you doing? I'm clearly the Minister of the Right, the Martial Lord. How come after so many years, your temper is even worse than mine? "
Ye Zichen narrowed his eyes. By now, he'd completely figured out who they were.
According to the Auxiliary Stars of this era, the one with a bad temper was the Minister of the Left, while the one speaking was the Minister of the Right. The woman was the Martial Star, while the one who'd said the River of Time had been destroyed was the Scholar Star.
To Ye Zichen's surprise, Yin Shang had always seemed calm and collected.
Why was the First Era's Minister of the Left so irritable?
After thinking about it, Ye Zichen somewhat understood. After learning he was the Minister of the Left, Yin Shang's temperament had changed dramatically, especially when it came to Ye Zichen …..
Gu Li had usurped the Star Lord's celestial fate.
If Gu Li had stolen Ye Zichen's celestial fate, Yin Shang might have reacted the same way.
As Ye Zichen pondered this, the Minister of the Right took a step forward and cupped his fists towards Gu Li.
"Please don't be angry, Your Excellency Gu Li. We didn't come here to fight you. Of course, don't blame me for saying such unpleasant things. If you fight us, you're just a half-step transcendence cultivator. You might not necessarily be our match. "
"Hmph, then go ahead and try," said Gu Li angrily. "I've already said that we didn't come here to fight you. In truth, the Minister of the Right could've come alone, but we considered that your emotions might be unstable, which is why we came together. As you can see, the Star Lord has already sent word for you to return. Please don't make things difficult for us. "
Said the Minister of the Right.
"That's impossible!" snorted Gu Li. "You want me to return? If you really want me to return, then tell him to personally invite me. If I'm in a good mood, I might go back. "
"The Star Lord's celestial fate has been usurped by you, and his body is not as good as before. It's better for us to take care of this long-distance journey." The Minister of the Right said politely, "Besides, the Star Master asked us to tell you that if you go back, Lady An Lu might be resurrected!"
In an instant, Gu Li's aura completely vanished.
He came in front of the Minister of the Right, stretched out his arm and glared at him fiercely. His breath was unstable as he grabbed the Minister of the Right's shoulder.
"What did you just say? Say it again!"
"The Master of the Stars told us to inform you that there is still a chance for Master An Lu to revive. Please return quickly!" the Minister of the Right said.
When he heard this, Gu Li's arm trembled even more violently.
Gu Li couldn't sympathize more than anyone else. He loved An Lu and knew how important she was to her. If you looked at their roots, Gu Li and the Outsider weren't any different at all. An Lu's appearance had caused his personality to change drastically, and her death had driven him into a frenzy. Now, he said he could be resurrected …..
It was perfectly normal for him to have such a performance!
"Are they telling the truth?"
Suddenly, Gu Li threw his head back and roared.
The golden 'Return' character in the void also underwent some changes at this moment. In just a few breaths of time, the character above it had turned into …
Yes!
Gu Li and Ye Zichen were both shocked. What kind of technique was this? Even from so far away, and in another era at that, these characters could appear in the sky.
Transcendence!
Was it really that strong?
"Don't lie to me. You know how important An Lu is to me," Gu Li roared into the sky, trembling. Before long, the character in the sky changed.
Just come back!
When he saw this, Gu Li lowered his head deeply.
Suddenly, he looked at Ye Zichen, saw the golden light around him, and gnashed his teeth.
"If you used An Lu to trick me into going back just to save him, I won't let you off the hook once I find out."
The character in the sky didn't respond. Gu Li knit his brows.
"I'll go back with you."
"Please."
The Minister of the Right gestured for Ye Zichen to leave. The other Auxiliary Stars followed suit, standing half a step behind him.
Before leaving, Gu Li turned around and stared at Gu Li.
"Take care of her."
"I will." Gu Li nodded.
"Be careful of him."
Gu Li pointed at Ye Zichen. Both Gu Li and Ye Zichen knew exactly what he meant. An Lu had died because of the First Era's Master of the Stars. She might die in this era as well.
Gu Li glanced at Ye Zichen with mixed emotions, then nodded.
"I got it."
"I hope the next time I come back, you won't end up like me."
Gu Li let out a deep sigh, then led the Four Auxiliary Stars and the Four Auxiliary Stars into the void. His steps were slow, but when he took his fifth step, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The pitch-black void above them seemed to be torn to shreds and dispersed. As it did, Gu Li and the Auxiliary Stars vanished from Ye Zichen's and the others' field of vision.
"I'm leaving too," said Gu Li. "Once the hypnosis technique disappears, they'll wake up. Staying here isn't a good thing for either of us."
"Thank you," said Ye Zichen, cupping his hands respectfully.
"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank An Lu," said Gu Li. He looked Ye Zichen deeply in the eye. "I believe some of Senior's words. I don't want what he said to happen in the future. If it does …. I won't let you off the hook. "
"I won't let that happen," said Ye Zichen.
"I won't either."
Gu Li stared intently at Ye Zichen, then said nothing else. He vanished from the sky.
Ye Zichen watched him leave, his mind replaying everything he'd just experienced, as well as everything they'd said.
The amount of information was frightening. Ye Zichen found it difficult to digest.
The Lord of the Stars was still alive.
Gu Li had usurped the Lord of the Stars' celestial fate, which was why the primordial beasts had broken through the First Era's barrier to transcendence.
The Outside's An Lu had died because of the Lord of the Stars.
All of this sounded shocking, but the way Ye Zichen saw it, this wasn't the First Era. He didn't believe this would happen to the people of the present.
Gu Zichen was the perfect explanation.
If everything was really the same as the First Era, then his world should've transcended and ended. He and Zuo Mo wouldn't be the only ones left.
The future would change!
Ye Zichen clenched his fists. Everything he was doing now was overturning history. He wouldn't let the current world end up like Gu Zichen's, leaving only the two of them. Nor would it end up like the First Era.
All he wanted was ….
Ye Zichen took a deep breath, looked up into the sky.
