He didn't know what the extraterrestrial gods had done, but even the explosion of a Divine King's self-destruction didn't wake Xue Beibei up.
The Ocean Emperor, who had been searching for Honghong and Beibei among the gods, had his robe stained with blood. However, Xue Beibei's pure white dress wasn't stained at all.
It was not hard to tell how well the Ocean Emperor protected his daughter.
Gu Xuande didn't extend his hand even after hearing the Ocean Emperor's dying request.
His rationality kept telling him that he had to leave now if he wanted to. If he delayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to.
If the Ocean Emperor and the Jade Lake Palace Master didn't want to leave, he could let them stay.
However, he was also a father. Even though he wasn't a very competent father, he still understood what the Ocean Emperor and the others were thinking.
This feeling that came from the depths of his heart made it impossible for him to let his parents leave.
"Chief Gu, we really don't have to wait any longer. Ji Yuan still needs you!"
"Ji Yuan doesn't need you? If you give your youngest daughter to me, how should I answer her if she wants to see you when she wakes up?" The Ocean Emperor's heart ached for some reason. He gently stroked Xue Beibei's cheek. "This girl looks naughty, but she's been very sensible since she was young. She'll understand what Qianling and I are doing. I'm sure she won't blame us. You seem to have a daughter who's about the same age as Beibei.
That's fine. Since we haven't returned yet, please take her as your goddaughter. "
"You …"
"Please!"
The Ocean Emperor bowed deeply to Gu Xuande again. He had always felt guilty about Honghong and Momo, and he couldn't leave them alone no matter what.
The only possibility was that it might be unfair to Beibei, but he couldn't care less.
"Brother, you've already said it. What are you still hesitating for?"
All of a sudden, a low voice was heard behind Gu Xuande.
He looked behind him, and saw that the Pleasure God King was standing right behind them.
The Ocean Emperor and the others' expressions changed drastically. The God King tilted its head and grinned from ear to ear.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you. However, you've delayed for too long. I can't bear to watch you two being so long-winded. "
Soon after, his gaze fell on Bei Bei's adorable little face. Just as he was about to extend his hand, Gu Xuande took a few steps back.
With nowhere to put its hand in the air, it could only rub its red nose resentfully. Then, his eyes turned cold and he spat out —
"Seal!"
As soon as it finished speaking, it advanced toward Gu Xuande again.
Gu Xuande, who wanted to push it away, realized that the surrounding space was squeezing him so hard that he could not move at all. It was extremely difficult for him to even move a finger.
It easily held Bei Bei in its arms, and under everyone's horrified gazes, it gently pinched her little face.
"What a cute little girl. If you don't want to take her as your goddaughter, then let her go with me!"
There was no answer!
It looked toward Gu Xuande and the others. Only then did it see that the Ocean Sovereign and the others were opening and closing their mouths, but there was no sound that belonged to them in the void.
"I almost forgot."
He snapped his fingers, and the Ocean Emperor's hoarse screams echoed in his ears in the blink of an eye.
"Let go of Bei Bei!"
"Bei Bei? Is that the little girl's name? " It tilted its head and stroked Xue Beibei's pink face with its fingertip. Feeling the touch from its finger, it smiled and said, "It's so good to be young. Even your face is so soft and bouncy."
It then touched its dry face and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Let go of Bei Bei right now!"
The Ocean Sovereign's threatening words echoed in the void. No matter how he struggled, he could not move even half a step forward.
Not only that, every time he struggled, the space would shrink, leaving him less and less space.
When the space squeezed his body a little out of shape, he could no longer move an inch.
"Stop struggling. If you keep struggling, you might be crushed by the space."
It kindly reminded him, but it could no longer hear anything the Ocean Sovereign said.
He no longer had any space left to move. He couldn't even move his lips. All he could do was use his spiritual will to vent his anger, but the Ocean Sovereign refused.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Xue Beibei was still in its arms. It smiled in confusion and looked around.
The God-Trapping Formation had long since broken, and it could no longer sense the auras of the past era's experts. It was clear they'd taken advantage of the chaos to leave while it was fighting Stark.
It had long since anticipated this outcome, but the past era's experts were less of a priority to it than Stark.
It didn't pay much attention to them.
It wasn't until Stark self-destructed that it discovered there were still people here. "Just now was the perfect opportunity for you to leave. If you'd returned to your era, even I wouldn't have been able to do anything to you. I'll have to report Stark's death to the God Emperor, and I'll need to replenish my divine energy. Furthermore, your era's Ye Zichen has already transcended.
At the very least, your era should be safe. “
He'd transcended!
The heavy burden weighing down on Gu Xuande and the others inexplicably eased.
So long as Ye Zichen transcended, it proved their era still had a chance.
The experts couldn't help but sigh in relief. However, the current situation wasn't too good for them. "You …. I have some impression of you. If I recall correctly, you're the one who stole Qingli from Yale's hands, aren't you?" The Ocean Sovereign glanced at Gu Xuande curiously. "I wasn't in the God Realm at the time, but after I returned and heard the news, I've always been interested in you.
However, now that I've met you, I've discovered there's nothing special about you. You're far inferior to Ye Zichen! "
"Hey, how did you steal Qingli from Yale's hands back then? I know a bit of information. Yale and Qingli seem to be childhood sweethearts, and his feelings for her aren't ordinary at all. What tricks did you use to steal her? Can you tell me about it? "
"I'm just an ordinary person. How could I possibly compare to the Master of the Stars?" said Gu Xuande. As for Qingli, he refused to say a word.
"There's no need to belittle yourself so much. Relying on your mortal body to cultivate to the point where you're infinitely close to becoming a God King, you should be proud of yourself."
The Ocean Sovereign gently patted Gu Xuande on the shoulder. The surrounding space was clearly compressed, yet his hand could pass through it and touch Gu Xuande's body.
