Meng Qi was feeling completely thrown. He'd thought Gu Xiaosang was the Golden Emperor's Dao Beacon, like his own connection to the Devil Buddha. But now it turned out she was the Golden Emperor's daughter? A product of severing to attain emptiness?
Had all her memories been fabricated and implanted by the Golden Emperor?
What?
How had he suddenly become the Golden Emperor's and his fellow countrywoman's precious son?
But reality was right there before him, and that was simply how things stood. Apart from letting his mind go blank, Meng Qi had no idea what to do.
The Jade Void Golden Immortals the Golden Emperor had suppressed had all been released, and all the damage caused earlier had been restored. Meng Qi suddenly felt as if he had nowhere to direct his strength.
Now that he'd successfully hitched a ride to prove the Dao on the Other Shore, Meng Qi could also sense that filthy, mosaic-covered Dao Fruit.
Someone was willing to eat that thing?
The Golden Emperor really was willing to do anything to achieve her aims...
The Dao Fruit's rank was too high, and it was heavily constrained by its native world. In some ways, it was even harder for it to adapt to the outside than it was for those on the Other Shore.
But after trying to fuse with this corrupted Dao Fruit, the Golden Emperor had chosen to sever as many ties with the True Realm as possible. She was relying on the parts of the Dao Fruit already corrupted by the Abyss to adapt to the outside world as quickly as she could, at the cost of lowering her rank slightly.
"You really don't hesitate when you make a decision..."
Tao Yu was rather surprised as he watched the Golden Emperor's attempt.
