Everyone Agreed: Just Suck Up

He asked the question so bluntly.

That saved some trouble.

Old Man Yang and Nalan Yao recounted the whole story, and the atmosphere there fell into an eerily quiet moment.

Much later.

Then Ding Erliang excitedly exclaimed, "So, each of us might have a unique set of pointers? What are we waiting for? Let's hurry and ask the leader for them!"

They are all Curse beings. Although they possess some unpredictable abilities and astonishing methods, they all have flaws and drawbacks.

The bamboo slips bestowed by the leader could solve the problem for Old Man Yang, which was simply miraculous. Ding Erliang couldn't contain himself any longer.

Bai Ziyu also couldn't hide his smile, but unlike Ding Erliang, he didn't act impulsively. He first recovered from his initial shock, and then asked a very practical question, "According to you, to obtain that guidance, one needs to pledge allegiance to the leader in order to gain recognition?"

"That's about right. In short, both Elder Yang and I received guidance after serving the leader."

Nalan Yao nodded.

Ding Erliang was already impatient, but he wasn't stupid. After Bai Ziyu's reminder, he immediately realized the key point.

"If that's the case, then we've all stepped in, so we've served the leader and shouldn't we be given some pointers?"

Ding Erliang tentatively opened his mouth.

Bai Ziyu shook his head and said, "We're not acting out of loyalty, but on conditions. Have you forgotten why you're acting?"

Ding Erliang suddenly realized, "The leader knew we were secretly following him, and was just waiting for the opportunity to do those six things for him, so we made our move just now, which counts as one of those six things."

"That's right, only true loyalty, like that of Elder Yang, can earn that recognition."

"True loyalty?"

"Okay, let's be even more blunt then. You should understand now, right?"

"Got it, it's just licking..."

"Licking is a skill too..."

Bai Ziyu gently waved his folding fan. He had made up his mind; from now on, he would follow the leader. Opportunity favors the prepared.

He missed the opportunity in the past, losing at the starting line, which allowed Old Man Yang and Nalan Yao to enjoy the favor of the champion. Now, competing on the same stage, he is determined to show them how scholars fawn over each other!

Ding Erliang had already made up his mind.

Bai Ziyu quipped, "You shorty probably don't have a chance... You made some tough remarks and even threatened the leader when you first met him, so you're in trouble..."

Upon hearing this...

Ding Erliang also recalled that when he first met the leader, he did say some things he shouldn't have, and now he felt very scared.

"I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to kneel outside the leader's door until he forgives me!"

Ding Erliang snorted.

He then hurriedly left.

In response to this...

None of the people present saw anything wrong with it.

It seems perfectly normal.

The gold beneath Ding Erliang was worthless to begin with, and besides, in the face of that guidance that could reverse the Curse, kneeling was nothing.

Bai Ziyu shook his head and laughed, "I really regret not being a woman, otherwise I could offer myself as a concubine. In this respect, I'm definitely inferior to Nalan..."

Nalan Yao curled her red lips and said, "I'd like to, but I'm afraid the leader wouldn't even consider Yao'er..."

Bai Ziyu smiled, then his expression suddenly turned serious. He said, "Putting aside the method to become a god and the amazing guidance, just looking at the leader's performance today, he is destined to be extraordinary..."

These words were spoken.

Old Man Yang and Nalan Yao nodded in agreement.

Today, under the oppressive aura of the Emperor Realm, the leader, bearing immense pressure, used the Great Dao of Time. If given a little more time, he might actually be able to break free.

That's absolutely amazing!

Even though their cultivation had reached the Saint King Realm, they couldn't break free from the Emperor Realm's oppressive aura without risking their lives.

Furthermore, being valued by Emperor Yu of the Grand One God Clan and personally accepted as a disciple is even more remarkable.

Nalan Yao was born in the Wangchuan Treasure Land.

Naturally, he had some understanding of the eccentric Emperor Yu of the Grand One God Clan.

I heard that this Emperor Yu once didn't even give face to the patriarch of the Grand One God Clan.

Including now.

The two were only superficially compatible.

However, Emperor Yu was indeed the strongest among the seven emperors of the Grand One God Clan, so the clan leader often turned a blind eye to Emperor Yu's actions.

Grand One God Clan.

In a certain celestial palace.

Now.

Of the seven emperors of the Grand One God Clan, four had arrived. They had been waiting there for a long time and had sent someone to inform the returning Emperor Yu as soon as possible.

Much later.

Emperor Yu strolled in leisurely. He was in a particularly good mood today because he had taken on a disciple with extraordinary talent, and even the four old men opposite him seemed more agreeable to him.

"Emperor Yu, I demand an explanation from you..."

A Saint Emperor with white hair and beard, dressed in a moon-white Daoist robe, saw Emperor Yu enter and immediately spoke.

What explanation?

Emperor Yu sat down casually, puzzled.

"Emperor Yu, you are of high moral character and prestige. We should not be questioning you here, but you represent the attitude of our Grand One God Clan. Your opposition to the Darkness God Clan today is tantamount to opposing our Grand One God Clan to them!"

Another emperor stood up and spoke solemnly.

"The Darkness God Clan is powerful and well-equipped; how can we easily confront them? I advise you to hand over that Darkness God Clan they want as soon as possible, lest you make an enemy for our clan!"

"Yes, it's said that kid even killed the envoy sent to the small world by the Darkness God Clan. Such a feud is not something our clan can interfere with..."

The four emperors spoke in succession, attempting to persuade Emperor Yu.

"Are you done talking?"

Emperor Yu chuckled and said, "Now that you've finished speaking, let this old man say a few words."

Upon hearing this, the four emperors fell silent.

Emperor Yu said, "I can't befriend him. This kid is already my disciple. Anyone who tries to harm my disciple, don't blame me for bullying the weak!"

The four emperors were all quite helpless upon hearing this.

"Putting aside the fact that this kid is my disciple, just considering the way the Darkness God Clan controls the small worlds, mistakes are bound to happen sooner or later..."

Emperor Yu spoke again.

The other emperors agreed with this assessment.

Each of the major God Clan governs a smaller world to obtain the Power of the World Origin and offer it to the gods.

There was originally no conflict between them.

Although their lives were restricted, their small world was a place of peace and tranquility.

Even.

If an extraordinary person appears in a small world, they can break through the world's barriers and come to the Vast Land. Some will pursue a higher path, while others will join the God Clan.

This is a positive development.

But.

Some God Clan, led by the Darkness God Clan, are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. They not only restrict cultivation in the small worlds but also hunt down the most outstanding talents of each era.

Because extraordinary individuals who can grow up in a small world often possess great fortune, or even bear the vast majority of that world's fortune.

So.

The Darkness God Clan hunt down prodigies from each era, thereby gaining more of the Power of the World Origin.

To nourish the gods.

However, if this continues, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and resistance from the smaller world!
