Everyone gathered in the Central Great Hall. The atmosphere was solemn and oppressive.
Many Sect Leaders and Elders of the Imperishable Sects fell silent because of Gu Changge's words. All sorts of thoughts flashed through their minds.
Although Gu Changge's explanation made everything very reasonable, it also made sense.
But they felt that it was too natural. There were no twists and turns or accidents. It was as natural as it should be.
The Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, Six Crown King, and the other young Primes also had complicated expressions. They didn't think that things would turn out this way and that there would be such an explanation.
Moreover, they had no evidence to prove that Gu Changge was lying.
Plus, there were many powerful people here.
Buddha Ksana of Buddha Mountain was one of them. He was proficient in fate. If Gu Changge was lying, he would definitely be able to detect it.
But now, even Ksana was silent and didn't speak.
Didn't this mean that everything Gu Changge explained was actually true?
At this moment, they didn't know what they were feeling. Regret, disappointment, or relief.
"The real Ye Ling has been killed by the inheritor of the demonic arts?"
The Golden Cicada Buddha exclaimed, extremely confused. He clearly didn't expect Gu Changge to explain it this way.
After a moment of shock, he frowned even harder.
He had never seen the true inheritor of the demonic arts.
But from all the signs, the true inheritor of the Reincarnation Ancient Lord had indeed been killed long ago and was no longer in this world.
This was why the Golden Cicada Buddha was so suspicious when he contacted Gu Changge about the Reincarnation Ancient Lord's inheritance and token.
Before, he had never considered this possibility at all. Gu Changge's explanation.
"Or Gu Changge predicted that I would ask this, so he thought of an explanation in advance?"
The Golden Cicada Buddha still didn't believe it. His expression darkened, no longer as calm as before.
He felt like he was about to have a nightmare. His Buddhist heart was covered in dust.
He could no longer ignore everything as he had done in the past.
If this matter couldn't be resolved, his cultivation would be stuck in the future, let alone reach higher realms.
"Do you have any doubts about my words, Dao Brother Golden Cicada?"
Gu Changge was still smiling faintly when he heard this. His expression did not change.
The rest of the people in the large hall also became silent at this moment. No one spoke again.
Even the One-eyed Daoist, the Sect Master of the Purple Cloud Valley, and the Sect Master of the Endless Fire Nation did not continue to speak. They were quietly observing the situation.
After all, Gu Changge had already explained it this way.
Moreover, the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Sovereign had personally said that he already knew about this matter.
If they still didn't know what was good for them and continued to question and doubt, they might accidentally offend the Samsara Ancient Heavenly Sovereign.
In that case, the losses would outweigh the gains.
"Young Lord Changge, what you said is only your own opinion. No one knows the truth of the matter."
The Golden Cicada Bodhisattva was neither servile nor overbearing. However, there was still some unwillingness in his voice.
"Dao Brother, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with me. No matter how I explain, you won't believe me."
Gu Changge smiled, then the smile on his face disappeared. He stared at Ancient Buddha Ksana and said, "Since Dao Brother Golden Cicada doubts my words, why don't you ask Ancient Buddha to investigate and see if I was lying?"
He knew that Ancient Buddha Ksana had a deep understanding of Buddha Mountain's fate and could even see through a person's past and future.
It was naturally easy to determine whether a person was lying or not.
However, Gu Changge was not worried that Ancient Buddha Ksana would be able to see anything from him. Fate was actually covered by clouds and mist.
Not to mention Ancient Buddha Ksana, even if someone with a profound cultivation tried to investigate him, they would not be able to see anything and would even suffer a huge backlash.
When the Samsara Ancient Heavenly Sovereign wanted to investigate his origin, he had almost suffered a terrifying backlash.
Although he tried his best to hide it, Gu Changge could see that the Samsara Ancient Heavenly Sovereign's face had turned pale for a moment.
Hearing Gu Changge's words, the people in the hall couldn't help but feel a little moved. They looked at Ancient Buddha Moment.
The Heavenly Maiden Jin Yang was even more interested. "Since Gu Changge has said so himself, Ancient Buddha, are you still worried about something?"
It was not that she did not believe in Ancient Buddha Ksana's methods.
However, since Gu Changge dared to say so, he must have the confidence to prove that what he said was true.
"Amitabha. Young Master Changge's words should not be false. This old monk cannot say for sure whether they are true or false."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ancient Buddha Ksana could not continue to remain silent. He put his palms together and answered.
Although he cultivated the Fate Connection and had a deep understanding of it and was said to be a divine skill, he could determine a person's past, present, and future.
However, he could not see any trace of fate on Gu Changge.
If there was anything related, it would be the illusory clouds.
However, this layer of clouds was really difficult for him to see clearly and to guess.
"What?"
The Golden Cicada Buddha was completely stunned. He did not expect Ancient Buddha Ksana to say so.
Ancient Buddha Ksana clearly felt that Gu Changge was full of doubts and secrets. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
He was really puzzled and could not understand.
"Haha, if even Ancient Buddha Ksana said so, then we naturally have no more doubts."
"The Golden Cicada Buddha has such doubts for the sake of all living beings. We can all understand, but this method is still somewhat inappropriate."
At this time, the One-eyed Taoist, who saw that the situation had calmed down, also laughed. It was as if the person who had questioned earlier had nothing to do with him.
Instead, he began to throw the blame of suspicion on the Golden Cicada Buddha.
The Sect Leaders of Purple Cloud Valley, Endless Fire Nation, and other orthodoxies also kept quiet.
Everyone else in the hall had different expressions and shook their heads in their hearts. They originally thought that there would be a shocking turn of events, but they did not expect that it was only Golden Cicada Buddha's suspicion. It was not enough to make Gu Changge reveal anything.
"Today's matter ends here. I will not allow you to question my judgment."
Seeing that the dust had settled, the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord's face also showed some anger.
He glanced at everyone in front of him and said calmly, as if he was very angry about what happened just now.
One had to admit that as an old monster who had lived for god knows how many years, his acting skills were definitely superb.
If Gu Changge did not know what he was thinking, he would not have realized that the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord was just acting.
In this respect, he and the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord were somewhat fated to be master and disciple.
"I dare not, I dare not."
"I hope the Heavenly Venerable will not be angry. We were blind. Just now, we thought of questioning Young Master Changge, not your vision."
When everyone in the hall saw that the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord seemed to be really angry, they felt a little uneasy.
Even the One-eyed Taoist felt a little scared. He felt that the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord seemed to be looking at him deliberately.
He could not help but have a serious expression. Although he was very confident in his own strength, in this era.
Especially in this era, he was very afraid of the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord.
However, a person's reputation was like a tree's shadow.
The Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord had existed since the Mythological Era. No one knew what kind of tricks he had.
How strong could he be in this era?
"Brother Golden Cicada, is there anything else you don't understand? Would you like to ask?"
Gu Changge asked with a faint smile on his face.
The Golden Cicada Buddha's face looked a little defeated. He had a lot of evidence in his hands that pointed out that Gu Changge was not the true successor of the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord.
However, it seemed that it was completely useless now.
Not only had Gu Changge admitted this fact, but the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord had also said that he had known about this for a long time.
"Today's matter was this little monk's rashness. I hope Young Master Changge will not take offense." He sighed inwardly and held back his unwillingness to accept the truth. He cupped his hands and apologized to Gu Changge.
Gu Changge's expression did not change much. He waved his hand and said, "I am not an unforgiving person. I can understand your painstaking efforts and naturally will not blame you."
At this time, he definitely would not blame the Golden Cicada Buddha, but it did not mean that he would let him off so easily.
Seeing that Gu Changge was so "reasonable" and did not even seem to care, the people in the hall were somewhat surprised.
They had thought that he would make the Golden Cicada Buddha pay a heavy price like before.
Ancient Buddha Ksana also heaved a sigh of relief. He put his palms together and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Young Master Changge. After today, this old monk will send the Buddha back to Buddha Mountain to reflect on his mistakes. He will not be reappearing in the world for a few years."
In fact, he had also noticed Gu Changge's intention. He had a premonition of danger.
This made it sound like he was blaming the Golden Cicada Buddha.
However, the truth was that he wanted the Golden Cicada Buddha to return to Buddha Mountain and protect him in case any accidents happened.
Hearing this, Gu Changge smiled and did not say anything else.
After that, no one in the hall mentioned anything about the inheritor of demonic arts anymore. They continued to ask the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord about some secrets of the Mythological Era. They wanted to know the truth about why there were no immortals in the later generations.
The Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord also acted like a wise sage and answered everyone's questions one by one.
After hearing this, everyone sighed in their hearts. They felt that a shocking event had happened a long time ago that was unknown to the later generations.
It could be the secret of the Forbidden Era, but it could also be something else.
In the end, the visit finally came to an end. The core figures of the various orthodoxies did not stay for long. They left after expressing their gratitude.
Many news about today's incident also spread immediately, causing a huge commotion in the Divine City.
The Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord was indeed still in the world and had promised to solve the problem of Yin's Field.
Countless cultivators and living beings were overjoyed and excited when they heard this. Some even shed tears of gratitude toward the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord.
In an instant, the Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord's reputation was raised to an unimaginable level.
Of course, many people could not forget the "effort" Gu Changge had put in for this matter. They had long regarded the master and disciple as the ancestors of the current generation.
Orthodoxies such as the Endless Fire Nation, Heavenly Emperor Mountain, and Purple Cloud Valley had extremely ugly expressions. They had to bear the unimaginable infamy.
Some cultivators had already planned to record this matter in the history books and pass it down to future generations.
Gu Changge had done so many good deeds, but he was wrongly accused of being the inheritor of demonic arts.
Such behavior not only chilled Gu Changge's heart, but it also chilled the hearts of all living beings.
The Golden Cicada Bodhisattva, who asked Gu Changge three times in the Central Great Hall, also bore a lot of infamy.
Even the highly respected Ancient Buddha Ksana's position in the hearts of the people plummeted because of this matter.
At this time, it was even more so for the rest of the people. Walking on the streets, it was already good enough that they were not thrown rotten eggs and rotten spirit fruits.
"Could this be Gu Changge's intention? To bewitch all living beings into his hands?"
"Truly vicious and frightening."
The One-eyed Taoist of Heavenly Emperor Mountain had a gloomy expression.
Through the recent developments in the Upper Realm, he vaguely sensed Gu Changge's sinister intentions.
He did not think that Gu Changge was someone who would think for the entire Upper Realm and uphold justice for all living beings.
On the contrary, it was the common people who were being used by Gu Changge, being used as tools without knowing it.
Such a method was truly frightening.
"I'm afraid that it won't be long before the entire Upper Realm is under his control. At that time, he'll truly be able to cover the sky with one hand."
For the One-eyed Taoist, the thought of getting rid of Gu Changge was unprecedentedly strong at this moment.
He quickly calmed himself down and took out a supreme decree, summoning many higher-ups of Heavenly Emperor Mountain to discuss this matter in detail.
At this time, on the other side, Gu Changge and the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Samsara, this pair of master and disciple, were also discussing the current situation in the Upper Realm.
"It seems that things are really developing as you planned …" The Ancient Heavenly Lord of Samsara said with some emotion.
Reincarnation Ancient Heavenly Lord lamented. He felt that he had underestimated Gu Changge.
Not only was his strength so terrifying, but his methods were also so terrifying. Imperceptibly, he had already affected the entire Upper Realm.
At this time, even if Gu Changge was really the inheritor of demonic techniques, ordinary cultivators would probably doubt this matter and not be willing to believe it.
This was also the brilliance of Gu Changge's methods.
"Master, you flatter me. It's all thanks to your cooperation in the main hall today."
Gu Changge smiled slightly and said humbly.
What the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Samsara saw was only the surface. On a deeper level, Gu Changge had other plans.
The Ancient Heavenly Lord of Samsara would never have thought that from the beginning, even he was just a chess piece.
"I was just telling the truth at that time. After all, the two of us can be considered grasshoppers on the same rope."
The Ancient Heavenly Lord of Samsara nodded slightly and smiled.
He wanted to know the secrets of Gu Changge, so what he had to do now was naturally to gain his trust.
Such a small matter was naturally a piece of cake.
Gu Changge smiled when he heard this and did not say much.
However, then he seemed to have thought of something and said with a slightly solemn expression, "I'll have to trouble Master about the disaster of Yin Day. During this period, I'll try my best to think of a way to expand the situation and influence so that Master's momentum can reach another peak."
"Don't worry, this is just a small matter to me. It won't take much time at all." The Ancient Heavenly Lord of Samsara smiled and promised.
