At the Pilgrimage Hall, Shanggu no longer cared about anything else. She was bent on refining the Main God Token Feather, inheriting the position of Chaos Main God, and giving all the gods an explanation.
Just as Shanggu was about to refine the Token Feather, Bai Jue arrived and took it back. Using the excuse that Shanggu still owed him a promise, he invited her to Peach Abyss Forest to fulfill their agreement.
"Just now, while stargazing in Long Abyss Hall, I suddenly remembered that the Main God still owes me a promise."
"What promise? We can talk after I refine the Main God Token Feather."
"Has the Main God forgotten the promise you made to me in Peach Abyss Forest that day?"
Shanggu recalled that time. Knowing the current situation all too well, she could only harden her heart and refuse Bai Jue.
"I have never forgotten my promise to you."
"But that promise is long overdue. I came to the Pilgrimage Hall today to invite the Main God to keep it."
"No. Tomorrow, I must become the Chaos Main God and give all the gods an explanation."
Bai Jue knew Shanggu's temperament, so he appealed to her emotions.
"It is precisely because you will become the ruler of the God Realm tomorrow... that I came today. I have never asked for anything in my life. I have only one wish—to ask that the one accompanying me today be the Shanggu who cultivated in my Long Abyss Hall back then, not tomorrow's Chaos Main God. Will you?"
Bai Jue, what is wrong with you today?
"The refinement has already been sensed by the gods. If I stop midway, it would be far too improper. Let me finish this first."
Bai Jue knew the resentment and grievance in Shanggu's heart.
