Maintaining the image of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect master before a Demon God.
It was like a Soul Master forcibly "showing off" before a Titled Douluo.
Though his attitude was respectful, he had managed to preserve his refined, easygoing image.
Chen Xin said nothing, but a storm raged in his heart.
The gap between humans and Demon Gods was even greater than he had imagined.
Gu Rong's expression hardened, but he did not say anything.
Once the two of them had calmed down, he would learn the answer.
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin gradually recovered.
Neither of them had the mind to pay attention to the images scrolling across the Sky Screen.
"This trip went very smoothly."
"?"
If it went smoothly, what were they afraid of?
Gu Rong did not understand. Gu Rong was puzzled.
"The Geo Archon is a Demon God one can communicate with."
"But..."
Ning Fengzhi paused there, making Gu Rong somewhat irritated.
Could he not just finish what he wanted to say? Why did he have to keep stopping halfway through? How was that any different from some author who loved ending chapters on cliffhangers?
It was extremely annoying!
"Fengzhi, if you weren't the sect master, this old man would give you two good punches!"
"Can't you just finish what you're saying?"
Gu Rong clenched his fists and stared at Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi: "..."
Gu Rong's "threat" still had some effect.
"But the Geo Archon seems unwilling to live his former life any longer."
"He said he has already stepped down from godhood. He is no longer humanity's god, merely an ordinary person named Zhongli."
Ning Fengzhi spoke unhurriedly.
"You believed that?"
"Uncle Gu, I didn't."
Ning Fengzhi spread his hands.
"Although I did not speak much with the Emperor Lord during this visit, I achieved my goal."
His goal was simple: to become a familiar face and confirm whether Zhongli could be communicated with.
Identity was not an obstacle. The inability to communicate was.
"So you gave away so many treasures just to confirm that he could communicate normally with humans?"
"Yes."
Gu Rong: "..."
He truly did not know what went on inside the minds of intelligent people.
Right now, he wanted to pry open Ning Fengzhi's head and see what was inside.
Even the Heaven Dou Emperor would have had to take those treasures seriously!
Yet Ning Fengzhi had casually given them away without making a single request!
"You are the sect master. Though I do not understand why you did this, you are smarter than us. We will support you unconditionally."
After a long while, Gu Rong spoke with a solemn expression.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu, Uncle Jian!"
Ning Fengzhi bowed to Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
Without these two, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would never have achieved what it had today.
Zhongli Mansion.
Zhongli glanced twice at the treasure boxes in the corner before ignoring them.
The boxes contained "specialties" from the Douluo Continent, things that held immense appeal for ninety-nine percent of Soul Masters.
To him, they were merely bones and energy crystals.
Ning Fengzhi had given him two Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones, both over ten thousand years old.
This counted as part of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's foundation.
As for the other four boxes, two contained premium tea leaves, while the other two held many rare gemstones.
Only the tea made Zhongli's gaze linger for an extra second.
As the Sky Screen scrolled, the Sentient Beings also learned the general "situation" between Tang San and Xiao Wu.
The Sentient Beings split into two factions. One believed that Tang San and Xiao Wu's love was deeply moving.
The other believed Tang San had long plotted for Xiao Wu's Spirit Ring, and that his love for Xiao Wu was all an act!
He went looking for Xiao Wu when he was about to break through?
Using a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone would harm Xiao Wu's soul?
Invincible Golden Body, Invincible Golden Body...
Teleportation, Teleportation...
Void, Void...
Suddenly, the scene on the Sky Screen returned to the beginning.
Tang San merged two yellow Spirit Rings, one purple Spirit Ring, one black Spirit Ring, and Xiao Wu's Spirit Ring into Xiao Wu's body.
He looked at the remaining three red Spirit Rings and fell into thought. In the end, he did not continue merging them into Xiao Wu.
"Didn't the Titan Giant Ape say she needed nine Spirit Rings?"
"He can't bear to part with those three hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings!"
"True, those are three hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings!"
Shrek Academy.
Tang San's face alternated between green and white.
He had not expected such things to happen in the future.
How could anyone question his love for Xiao Wu?
"Xiao Wu couldn't endure that much energy. It's not that I was unwilling!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
Ma Hongjun curled his lips.
"Third Brother, you really do love Xiao Wu so much!"
Tang San: "..."
This Ma Hongjun truly had a death wish!
As Xiao Wu watched the scene on the Sky Screen, she faintly felt that something was wrong, yet she could not put it into words.
She always felt that Tang San's love for her was not quite so pure...
Dai Mubai folded his arms, staring at the Sky Screen before glancing at Tang San.
"I feel like something is off."
"This ranking is reviewing Famous Scenes. If it is merely Third Brother and Xiao Wu's love, along with Third Brother becoming a Titled Douluo..."
"That should not count as a Famous Scene."
Upon hearing that, everyone else frowned as well.
Yes, how did this count as a Famous Scene?
Just then, the Sky Screen gave them the answer.
Divine light blossomed around Tang San. He slowly spread his arms, as if preparing to embrace the figure lying before him.
He closed his eyes, and shouted word by word, his voice brimming with emotion!
"Come... back... to... life!"
"My... be... loved!!"
When Tang San's voice rang out, the entire Douluo Continent fell silent.
The buzzing of insects, the beating of hearts, even the sound of the breeze could be heard clearly.
How should they put it...
Those words were full of emotion, but they sounded a little...
Shrek Academy.
Xiao Wu bit her lower lip, her fingers entwined together.
At that moment, she awkwardly twisted her toes against the ground.
She wished she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her feet.
"Third Brother, maybe you should just not revive me. Let me die instead..."
"Xiao Wu..."
Tang San was rather embarrassed too. He did not know what sort of mindset his future self had possessed to shout something like that.
Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and the others stared at Tang San in stunned silence.
In a daze, they seemed to understand what a "Famous Scene" was.
This ranking was better left unmade!
Getting on the list meant becoming famous, but it also meant ruining one's reputation. There would no longer be a place for the top lister anywhere on the entire Douluo Continent.
[Famous Scene TOP 10 review concluded.] [Reward: one Ten Thousand Year Torso Soul Bone.]
Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones were known as Blood River's Treasure.
A Torso Soul Bone was also the rarest, most difficult to obtain, and most precious among the standard six Spirit Bones.
This made most Soul Masters' eyes turn red.
Only Tang San was somewhat dissatisfied!
This was a social death! He was only getting one Ten Thousand Year Torso Soul Bone as a reward?
[Famous Scene TOP 9.] [Top lister: Zhongli.]
Before the Sentient Beings could react, the Sky Screen had already displayed a new ranking and its top lister.
If they remembered correctly, Zhongli was the Rock Demon God—Morax, wasn't he?
The Sky Screen was actually going to review this man's "Famous Scene"?
(PS: It's the end of the month. Please send some monthly and recommendation votes. I'm just a little short of getting on the list...)
