The Creator Descends

"He's here, he's here."

"With Lord Gu here, we in Jiaoyang City have a clear sky."

"Lord Gu, I've finally waited for you. I'm so glad I didn't give up."

Cheers erupted throughout the city and beyond as the warships carrying travelers from Gu Jinlai arrived.

Looking at this scene from ancient times to the present, there is some emotion in the expression.

This is the twenty-ninth city he has conquered.

At first, things were alright; people didn't seem to notice his arrival.

However, as he publicly tried those guilty of heinous crimes time and time again, coupled with Liu Feiyun's constant propaganda and his glorious achievements in killing eleven demon emperors and one demon god, the people of other cities suddenly became excited.

Numerous accusations and even evidence against local officials have been circulating like snowflakes in the hands of people Gu Jinlai.

As these local officials were thoroughly investigated and tried one by one, and a large number of heinous criminals were executed, people in other cities no longer felt any resistance to his arrival; instead, they were filled with anticipation and hope.

Especially in recent cities, his arrival has been accompanied by city-wide cheers.

People spontaneously took to the streets to welcome his arrival, creating a scene as lively as a festival.

Of course, there were some powerful and influential people who secretly obstructed the project during this period.

They either promote the idea that Gu Jinlai have committed countless evils, or they use a large number of dubious charges to make Gu Jinlai difficult.

What they didn't know was that trials Gu Jinlai have never relied on evidence.

He could tell a person's background the moment he saw them.

If you have the results first, then checking the process will naturally reduce the difficulty by a large margin.

As for the smearing of identities Gu Jinlai...

Gu Jinlai, people have been able to tolerate such things, but this holy dynasty cannot.

What if a powerful True Immortal, who is on par with the Holy Dynasty, is slandered and incites the wrath of the Gu Jinlai?

What if Gu Jinlai mistakenly believe that the royal family is supporting them from behind, and become dissatisfied with the royal family and want to establish a separate regime with them?

Therefore, without any intervention from the Gu Jinlai, these people were naturally dealt with by the Holy Dynasty's royal family.

When it comes to public opinion, how can the reputation of a single city or region compare to that of the Holy Dynasty?

After all, more than a decade ago, before the Holy Dynasty was defeated and its fighting spirit was crushed by Demonic Beasts, they had done a lot of practical things.

More than a decade of corruption, even under the guise of some semblance of decency, is not enough to completely ruin the reputation of the Holy Dynasty.

"Supreme Elder."

"Ancient True Immortal".

Gu Jinlai aboard the Blue Sky Ship, and Qi Sheng, along with Su Yu, a newly appointed sage Gu Jinlai, immediately took to the air to greet him.

Qi Sheng, who was from the Liyang Cave Heaven, had become a warrior whose combat prowess was comparable to that of a top-tier saint after acquiring a divine weapon.

The key is Su Yu.

She is a good friend that Chao Jiuyin made in this world, and she greatly admires many of her insights.

Over the years, while Chao Jiuyin has been under house arrest, she has actually been working tirelessly to rescue her.

However, due to limited resources, there have been no results for several years.

After learning that Chao Jiuyin had been rescued by Gu Jinlai, she carefully studied Gu Jinlai's character.

Upon learning of his righteous deeds in Wind and Rain City and Flowing Fire City, he immediately pledged his allegiance to Gu Jinlai.

Gu Jinlai who have witnessed her astonishing "yellow" level Karma have unhesitatingly entrusted her with important responsibilities and bestowed upon her divine weapons to help her recognize her master.

Already a top-tier saint, she now relies on the power of her divine weapon, making her combat strength comparable to that of a high-level Void Immortal, and she is the strongest under her command Gu Jinlai.

Especially during this period, he has been working diligently to help Gu Jinlai clean up the various cities. He was originally a "yellow" level radiance, and there is a faint trend of turning into "light purple".

"This is the concrete evidence we have."

Qi Sheng handed over a thick stack of documents.

Gu Jinlai nodded, but did not reply immediately.

"The Supreme Elder?"

Liu Feiyun, who was helping him handle trivial matters, asked in confusion.

"Let's do it the way we always have."

Gu Jinlai his composure, gave an order, and then asked, "Is there anything unusual about this Pride City?"

He had vaguely sensed something was amiss yesterday, and now that he had stepped into the City of Pride, this amiss had become clearer and turned into a sense of unease.

Seem...

A great disaster is about to befall us.

"Abnormal..."

Qi Sheng and Su Yu exchanged a glance and shook their heads. "No."

After a moment, Qi Sheng added, "The only unusual thing is that many people have fled under various pretexts, making the entire Pride City look much deserted."

"Is that so?"

Gu Jinlai responded with a sound.

"Has the Supreme Elder sensed something?"

Liu Feiyun asked, "Could it be that those people will unite and rebel?"

"Their alliance makes no sense."

Gu Jinlai shook his head.

He has reached a consensus with the six major grotto heavens.

Seeing in him the hope of breaking through the encirclement and defeating the Demonic Beasts' blockade, the six great grotto-heavens have been actively preparing for battle and gathering troops.

As the great war was about to break out, the six great grotto heavens were actually happy to see this phenomenon: the villains of the Gu Jinlai were willing to put themselves in charge of sorting out the entire Holy Dynasty.

"Is there any movement from the Demon God's side?"

Gu Jinlai have sought this question.

"The situation is equally calm on the Demon God's side."

Liu Feiyun responded.

Are there any Demon Abyss-level Demon Realm rifts near Sunrise City?

"There are no Abyss-level rifts, but there is a super-large rift that opens on average once every six months, and the opening time lasts for three months. It is currently in its opening period."

Liu Feiyun said in a deep voice, "The location is only 12,000 miles away from Jiaoyang City."

"Send someone to check if there's anything unusual about that rift in the Demon Realm."

He gave a word of advice, Gu Jinlai.

"Yes."

Liu Feiyun immediately agreed.

Having already considered everything that needed to be noted, Gu Jinlai thought for a moment, and considering that he had already squandered a fortune of four figures after sweeping through twenty-nine cities, he was too lazy to bother with anything else. "Then let's proceed as planned and try these people first."

When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it!

With his current abilities, apart from the top-tier immortal lords and Devil Master, he doesn't think anyone else can threaten his life.

At this Gu Jinlai, amidst the cheers of countless people, they entered the city and began to try those who had been arrested long ago.

As the trial continues, the unease that has gripped people Gu Jinlai grows stronger.

As the first day of the trial drew to a close, the sense of unease reached its peak.

"The Supreme Elder?"

Not to mention Liu Feiyun, even Qi Sheng, Su Yu and others noticed the unusual situation in Gu Jinlai.

"But what happened?"

Liu Feiyun asked.

He waved his hand, as if to say something from Gu Jinlai.

What methods do Liu Feiyun, Qi Sheng, Su Yu, and others have to deal with events that make him feel uneasy?

"The trial will be adjourned for a day after today's proceedings so I can sort some things out."

Gu Jinlai, he has spoken in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Liu Feiyun, Qi Sheng, and Su Yu also felt heavy-hearted.

Even such a sage Gu Jinlai found the matter troublesome and disrupted his original plans, which shows that the matter is definitely not trivial.

"The cultivators... are unharmed... Demon gods are enormous, and it's difficult for them to move silently. The only variable near Sunrise City... is the Demon Realm Rift. Oh my god..."

Before we could finish speaking about the Gu Jinlai, I suddenly realized something.

He looked up in horror, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void, directly seeing the true spirit world hidden beneath the real world.

In the real spirit world, a terrifying spirit being whose spiritual energy surpassed even that of a spirit lord suddenly turned its gaze in this direction.

"The Lord of Aries!?"

Almost at the same time his gaze fell upon this spirit being, the spirit being's gaze also returned to Gu Jinlai.

In a hazy state...

He seemed to hear a voice that resonated directly within his soul.

I see you!

"Buzz!"

Soul-shaking!

Gu Jinlai, the world before our eyes seems to unfold countless illusions, and a terrifying being is tearing apart the barrier between the real world and the true spirit world, descending at an extremely fast speed.

That ferocity and fear reached straight to the soul, even stimulating the True Spirit of the Gu Jinlai, causing his True Spirit to involuntarily activate and enter a defensive posture.

However, it is precisely because the True Spirit involuntarily enters a defensive posture that Gu Jinlai have been awakened from this soul-shaking illusion.

Why do I feel a little cold?

Liu Feiyun, Qi Sheng, Su Yu, and others were puzzled.

"Has this day finally come?"

A sigh has been uttered Gu Jinlai.

But speaking of which...

It's time to settle things with the Aries ruler.

He has now accumulated an unprecedented 1,600 strands of pure light, which is enough to not only max out his Spirit Technique, but also to max out the Creator's Inheritance.

When strengthening the Creator's legacy, the True Spirit will inevitably be activated, thus attracting the covetous eyes of the Aries Star Lord. Therefore, even if the Aries Star Lord does not appear now, he will take the initiative to choose the battlefield and have a final battle with the Aries Star Lord.

"Then let me see just how powerful the creator who completely transformed himself into a spirit life a thousand years ago really is."

After Gu Jinlai reflection, he said to Liu Feiyun, "You should stay in Jiaoyang City for a while and not wander around without permission."

"What happened?"

Liu Feiyun keenly sensed something.

There has been no explanation from Gu Jinlai. He simply sent a faint wisp of his consciousness into a jade talisman and handed it to her. "You can find out my life or death status through this jade talisman. If the jade talisman is intact, you can just wait for my return."

He paused, then continued, "If the jade tablet cracks, it will prove that I am dead... At that time, you will take everyone and hide in that place called 'Qiantian' to await the outcome of the final battle between the immortal kingdom and the Demonic Beasts..."

"Die!?"

Liu Feiyun suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Qi Sheng and Su Yu couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"The Supreme Elder!?"

"Ancient Immortal... what exactly..."

"Don't ask any more questions."

Gu Jinlai, they have been stopped.

He waved his hand and said calmly, "Alright, just wait for news."

After saying that, he soared into the air, accelerated suddenly, and flew straight towards the direction of the rift in the Demon Realm.

"Boom!"

It seemed as if something in the world had been broken.

The instant that invisible roar came, almost everyone in the City of Pride felt a chilling sense of dread.

The higher one's level of cultivation, the clearer their perception becomes.

In their hazy vision, they seemed to "see" a huge, terrifying phantom, like a prehistoric beast, speeding across the sky and chasing after the direction from which it had flown away Gu Jinlai.
