Indeed, Humans Are Hard to Unite

The twilight receded, and night fell.

On the way back to Yun City.

Mu Yuxin, like a goddess of the stars, danced with the star wings behind her, struggling to keep up with Gu Qijue.

With every step Gu Qijue took, he opened up a significant distance between himself and Mu Yuxin.

With such leisurely strides, he left Mu Yuxin far behind.

She really couldn't handle such high-intensity flight anymore, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Can... can you slow down?"

Gu Qijue seemed not to hear her, continuing to tread through the air at his current speed.

He was contemplating whether to kill Mu Yuxin immediately.

Because Xiao Yao had definitely broken away from him.

Therefore, he couldn't fully trust Xiao Yao.

After all, it was Gu Qijue who had devoured it, leading to his current achievements.

Would Xiao Yao seek revenge after breaking away from him?

Gu Qijue had too many things to consider right now.

He felt that one wrong step would lead to eternal damnation.

He also didn't know about the old turtle's divination.

His intuition told him that a great crisis was approaching him.

But he couldn't guess who this crisis would come from...

By the time they returned to the Yun City shelter, Mu Yuxin was utterly exhausted.

During their journey, Mu Yuxin hadn't told Gu Qijue what the old turtle had divined.

If she had spoken, she had no doubt that this man would have killed her on the spot.

Indeed, if Gu Qijue knew, she wouldn't have survived.

Upon their return, Gu Qijue knocked her unconscious with a slap and cruelly severed her right hand.

The super pattern was on her right palm; without her hand, she could no longer summon the Super Martial Armor.

If he hadn't done this, even if she were bound, she could still summon it at any time.

In the command hall, Gu Qijue sat at the head of the table, playing with Mu Yuxin's right hand, which he had sealed with lightning. He gazed at the star super pattern, lost in thought, his mind unreadable.

Bai Jingyi, who had just entered and was preparing to report on the day's Super Martial Artist advancements, saw him deep in thought and didn't interrupt immediately. Instead, she stood by, waiting.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Qijue put away the severed hand and said indifferently, "Speak."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jingyi stepped forward and reported, "In our shelter, there are three thousand and fifty-two Super Martial Artists. Their current levels range from four to six stars. There are two thousand three hundred four-star Super Martial Artists, five hundred thirty five-star Super Martial Artists, and two hundred twenty six-star Super Martial Artists. All Saint Tier Super Martial Artists and Calamity-tier evolvers are either at the peak of six stars or the peak of the sixth tier!"

It was only natural that the higher the tier of Super Martial Artist, the faster they would cultivate.

Gu Qijue leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and said, "I have a very bad feeling. Go to the warehouse and get another fifty thousand Star Fruits to distribute to Super Martial Artists above Emperor Tier!"

"Ah! Don't you need them?" Bai Jingyi hesitated, seeing that Gu Qijue was going to give another fifty thousand to others.

In her opinion, only if Gu Qijue was powerful enough could he provide them with a greater sense of security.

"I can devour Star Monsters, but you all cannot. My intuition tells me that we might face a bloody battle soon. Go!" Gu Qijue waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Bai Jingyi no longer hesitated after hearing this and agreed before leaving.

From Gu Qijue, she could see his loneliness, but he seemed accustomed to it.

After she left, Gu Qijue departed from the shelter.

He headed straight for the Main Star-Sucking Tree.

That night, he sat cross-legged high above the Main Star-Sucking Tree, devouring one Star-Sucking Monster after another through his Dragon Soul.

At the top of the tree, Gu Qijue attempted to use his Dragon Soul to devour the giant black cocoon.

With a boom, a terrifying power almost shattered his Black Dragon Soul.

Seeing that he couldn't devour it, he obediently continued to devour the Star-Sucking Monsters.

Any conspiracy or danger was like floating clouds in the face of absolute power.

"Meng Bao, Scarlet Emperor, can you not devour Star-Sucking Monsters?"

At night, Bai Jingyi found them.

In addition, Ji Shang, Zhu Hongyu, Xu Qing, Zhang Rui, and Situ Bao, five Saint Tier Super Martial Artists, were also present.

"No!" they shook their heads bitterly.

"Then it's a pity. I'll make this decision once. Go to the warehouse and take whatever Star Fruits you want from the one hundred thousand available. You should be able to see Gu Zong's loneliness. He foresees a bloody battle might occur soon, and I don't want to see him fight alone. I hope that by then, you will have the ability to resist the enemy alongside Gu Zong!"

In Bai Jingyi's opinion, rather than distributing those Star Fruits to the majority, it was better to cultivate the truly elite forces first.

"We will fight to the death and will never let our boss fight alone again," Ji Shang said with firm determination, clenching his fists.

"Although I haven't spent much time with President Gu, I will absolutely not cling to life and fear death, leaving him to fight alone, no matter who the enemy is," Zhu Hongyu also stepped forward to declare her stance.

Meng Bao chuckled, "I don't want to say anything passionate, but if Brother Black Dragon encounters a life-or-death crisis, I will never run!"

"Me too!" the Scarlet Emperor declared, patting his chest.

"Only death!"

Xu Qing, Zhang Rui, and Situ Bao also looked resolute.

"I hope you can keep your word and go take the Star Fruits to evolve!"

To be honest, Bai Jingyi had read Gu Qijue's profile and knew he was an orphan who had been abused by his adoptive parents since childhood, which made her feel a bit sorry for him.

But Gu Qijue didn't need her pity.

Having lived two lives, his heart was stronger than anyone else's.

This so-called loneliness meant nothing to him at all.

Others saw him as lonely, but he reveled in it.

Meanwhile, in Shangdu, at the Emperor Abyss Group's Combat Command Hall, at the conference table, Chu Yuan was negotiating with the presidents of the War God Group, White Blood Group, Sky Wolf Group, and Sky Sun Group via video projection.

After listening to Chu Yuan's account, Oroska, the president of the War God Group, chuckled and said, "It's too chaotic on my end right now, it's really impossible to dispatch strong individuals to attack Gu Qijue. I'm truly sorry!"

With that, he directly cut off the projection.

"I'm sorry! My situation is similar!" the president of the White Blood Group said, leaving a similar remark before cutting off the video projection.

"I don't believe this kind of thing, sorry!" the president of the Sky Wolf Group from the Eagle Country said indifferently before hanging up the video projection.

"Nonsense!" the president of the Sky Sun Group from the Sunset Country said even more coldly.

"You guys..."

Chu Yuan's face darkened with anger at the attitude of these four, and he cursed, "As expected, humans are hard to unite..."

Jun Yue Ru asked with a wry smile, "What can we do?"

"What can we do? We can only hope that old turtle can invite powerful beings from the deep sea."

Chu Yuan's expression was cold. "If possible, I really want to destroy those four!"

Unbeknownst to them.

After Oroska of the War God Group cut off the video projection, The first thing he did was contact Gu Qijue.
