When the glowing man appeared in the sky, a vast and majestic power spread out from his body in all directions.
All the cultivation sects sensed this power.
Quite a few great cultivators flew up from their sects, heading towards Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace.
In the void, many inexplicable existences also quietly arrived.
Everyone's gaze was focused on the main peak of Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace.
The four Divine Beasts stayed below the clouds, carefully listening to the Divinity's question.
Gu Qing Shan also stared at the Divinity, silently observing him.
Legend had it that the gods created the human race in their own image, so in the billions of worlds, the human form was the universal form of communication for all races.
Perhaps the difference between a deity and a human was between the eyebrows.
There was a burning golden flame between the God's eyebrows.
As for the brilliant light around him, Gu Qing Shan knew where it came from.
The creation of the gods was invisible, and the radiance was the manifestation of the majesty of the gods.
Therefore, that radiance was the armor of the gods.
Back in Triste's collection world, he had also worn an armor of Pantheon.
At this point, the Divinity had finished asking his questions.
The Yellow Dragon answered: "Dear Life God, we are not here to kill cultivators, we are merely following the orders of the Heavenly Palace's Sect Master to protect the Heavenly Palace's true inheritance"
Life God said, "Sect Master's order? If I recall correctly, the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace's sect master is still at the frontlines. "
The Yellow Dragon replied: "According to Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace's rules, when the sect master isn't here, we must obey the sect master's jade disk"
Life God looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Without waiting for the Life God to speak, Gu Qing Shan immediately reported respectfully, "Dear God, I'm just following the sect's rules, and the Four Sacred Beasts also approve of this."
"Great God, you came to this place with mercy, but according to the rules of my sect, these people must be executed. They are not worthy of your mercy."
It was quiet all around.
The entire Heavenly Palace fell silent.
Almost the entire world, including countless powerful cultivators, deities, and beings who were secretly paying attention to this place, fell into silence.
This person must be crazy!
How dare you speak to a god like that!
Gods rarely interfere with the internal affairs of human sects.
No, nothing like this had ever happened before!
However, the first time the God interfered, he was easily rejected by a young man.
The Life God's voice also changed a bit: "Let me ask you, these human cultivators are all very powerful, and they are all Peak Masters of their respective peaks. You are only a disciple, what crime do you have to sentence them to death?"
Hearing this, Gu Qing Shan immediately said, "According to our sect's rules, no one can come to the Barren Cloud Main Peak without Palace Master's summons, this is …"
"Going to the main peak without permission and recklessly building buildings is a great crime against the sect. This is the second one."
"As the Eldest Disciple of the sect master, I personally asked about the matters of the master peak, yet no one paid any attention to me. This is disrespect to the entire Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace, these are the third"
"Taking advantage of the Palace Master's absence to request the Palace Master's three disciples to kill each other, this is a malicious and rebellious act. This is the fourth."
"Number five —"
"Wait!"
The Life God interrupted him.
The Life God couldn't bear to listen any longer and silently regretted giving Gu Qing Shan the chance to speak.
The Divinity spoke in front of everyone: "You said that they requested the disciples of the main peak to kill each other, but that isn't the case. To help humanity, the Divinities provided a few slots to cultivate in the Divine Palace"
The Ancient Dawn peak master immediately followed up: "After the sect's discussion, we unanimously decided to give two slots to the main peak, that's why the main peak is hosting a grand competition — — in truth, every peak is the same, what kind of rebellious act is this? I really don't understand"
Gu Qing Shan slowly spoke: "If it's a grand competition of the main peak, then this should be done by my Shifu. Shifu isn't here, I have the sect master jade disk, and I'm also the Eldest Disciple of the sect. According to the sect's rules, the 9th, 15th, and 31st rules, this matter should be decided, prepared, and presided over by me, what does it have to do with you? What authority do you have to come to the main peak to do this? If I remember correctly, if you dare to use the authority of the sect master without the sect master jade disk, the only outcome is death "
The Ancient Dawn peak master argued: "We were worried that a young man like you wouldn't be able to handle this matter properly, causing your two junior brothers to hold a grudge against the sect"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I've already decided to give up on the slots, Huang Zhan and Shen Yang will go directly to the Divine Palace"
The peak masters were stunned.
He gave up on the chance to enter the Divine Palace!
He's only a young man, why would he give up on such a chance?
Doesn't that mean all of our plans would be for naught?
Gu Qing Shan sternly spoke: "That's why I've already dealt with this matter, yet you're still doing this and that on the main peak, trying to force the main peak's disciples to kill each other in public, who gave you the courage to do so?"
He raised his voice and shouted: "The sect master jade disk is right here, as the peak masters of other peaks, you dare to take advantage of the sect master's absence to use the sect master's authority, according to the sect's rules, you should be executed on the spot! Four Divine Beasts, go! "
The four Divine Beasts roared in unison, but stood still in the sky.
They carefully looked at the Life God.
The Life God shook his head at them, silently preparing his words.
There were too many people paying attention to this place, and this was the most crucial moment of the war. Even if it was him, he needed a valid reason in order to save those people's lives without damaging his dignity.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan bowed deeply to the Life God.
He respectfully spoke: "Venerable Creator, humanity's faith, supreme Divinity, of course, we must listen to you first, because your will is the truth of this world. If you think they are right, then they are right. Even if my Master is risking his life on the frontlines, even if there's no news of him, as long as you say so, these people can indeed ignore the sect's rules and use the sect master's authority without permission"
He opened his hand and displayed the sect master jade disk in front of everyone.
"Great Divinity, we will naturally listen to whatever you say, but if you do that, we'll fall into chaos"
"That's not going to be easy … so what's the point of this sect master jade disk? Our human race doesn't need any sects, we can just fight for power and profit. There's no benefit in going to the frontlines, there are always people stabbing us from behind, we can't even protect our own disciples "
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan threw the sect master jade disk up high.
He swung his sword.
Everyone's expressions changed.
The great cultivators, sect masters, Divinities in the sky, as well as the Life God in the sky, as well as the peak masters were all stunned.
If the jade disk were to shatter with this strike, it would become a huge matter that would shake the entire world.
This would signify that the Divinities had interfered with the affairs of human sects, causing chaos and chaos within the sects.
The Divinities would be able to decide anything regarding the internal affairs of the human race.
The sects would lose their meaning.
The frontlines would become a pile of loose sand.
Furthermore, most importantly — — -
Xie Gu Hong's soul vessel was connected to the sect master jade disk, so if he was still alive, he would be able to sense the jade disk disappearing.
No matter what he was doing, as long as he was alive, he would definitely return.
At this moment, countless people wanted to stop Gu Qing Shan, but also countless people didn't want to stop Gu Qing Shan.
Everyone wanted to know if Xie Gu Hong was dead or not.
If Xie Gu Hong was dead, his disciple would immediately be accused of disrespecting the sect master jade disk and be arrested.
If Xie Gu Hong wasn't dead …
Then things would be interesting.
As the Barren Cloud Palace Master, a renowned peerless sword cultivator, Xie Gu Hong would definitely fight to the death against these peak masters who humiliated his disciple!
The number one sect of the world, the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace, would fall into internal strife.
This sect would soon fall apart and head towards collapse.
— — -collapse under the interference of the Divinities.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Countless thoughts flashed through everyone's minds.
Finally, Gu Qing Shan's sword was about to touch the jade disk.
No one tried to stop him!
At this crucial moment, Gu Qing Shan's sword suddenly stopped.
He stared closely at the jade disk.
— — because an inner sight was transmitted to him from the jade disk.
The owner of the jade disk was Xie Gu Hong.
And this inner sight naturally belonged to Xie Gu Hong.
His voice came from the jade disk: "Qing Shan, I've done what I came to do and will soon return to the sect. How has your cultivation been lately? Have you been teaching the two junior brothers well? "
Gu Qing Shan didn't show it on her face, but she was silently laughing.
Shifu is quite a clever person, being able to coordinate so well at a time like this.
The current situation is even better than me breaking the jade disk.
Gu Qing Shan then clasped her fist towards the jade disk: "Shifu, we are doing well, the two junior brothers have also been cultivating very diligently, but there are a lot of matters in the sect that you have to deal with after you return"
"Very well, I've killed the demon and will soon return to the sect" Xie Gu Hong replied.
The voice from the jade disk disappeared.
The jade disk fell back into Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Everyone was whispering.
Xie Gu Hong said he killed the demon?
What exactly did he do?
"Impossible" the Ancient Dawn peak master muttered, "he was clearly lost in the Desolate world … how could he …"
At this point, something else happened.
In the sky, countless streaks of light came from afar and landed in the hands of great cultivators of various sects.
Communication talismans.
A large number of communication talismans!
Following that, another streak of light flew into the sky and appeared.
It was a cultivator in full armor.
He first bowed to the Life God, then couldn't help but excitedly declare to everyone: "We achieved great victory at the frontlines! The Lord of the Seven Swords, Xie Gu Hong, led his army deep into the Desolate world and assassinated the Desolate Saint Power Demon King! Now that the Desolate world is in chaos, our army attacked with everything we had and killed countless enemies!"
The voices of discussion resounded.
Everyone's faces lit up with joy.
This was humanity's first great victory in the last few years.
After this battle, humanity would be able to regroup, regain their morale, and gain a long period of strategic adjustment.
The smile on Gu Qing Shan's face grew brighter.
— — – Xie Gu Hong is definitely safe and sound.
Countless years later, he will once again spar with the sword against a Divinity, and even win by half a move.
So I know that as long as I don't go overboard today, I won't be suppressed to death by anyone.
Not even a Divinity!
In such a public situation, without sufficient reason, even a Divinity wouldn't dare to touch me!
— — Xie Gu Hong risked his life on the frontlines, but there were people plotting behind his back, even his disciples were forced into a dangerous situation, forced to kill each other.
In the end, the Divinities even tried to absolve those people.
If such a thing really happened, who would be willing to go to the frontlines?
Who would be willing to risk their lives for the Divinities?
Who would be willing to sacrifice their lives for a monster?
Looking back at the peak masters, they were already pale, unable to say a single word.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then clasped his fist and bowed to the peak masters.
"My apologies, as the Eldest Disciple of the sect, I lost my composure"
"What happened today was my fault"
In front of everyone's gazes, he appeared ashamed.
"In truth, as a disciple, I shouldn't have offended you today, nor should I have acted too rashly"
"That's why I should wait for Master to return and have him personally take your lives, that would be more appropriate"
