The Immortal Emperor Realm was the chief of all living beings, the emperor of all living beings!
Futian was the chief of all Daos, the emperor of all Daos!
It would have been best if these two had never met for all eternity. Yet now that they had met, there was likely a great terror of life and death between them.
Such was the profundity of karma. One major event after another would continuously push them toward opposing sides...
State Chancellor Wuji Zi's expression was exceptionally ugly. The State Religion could not suppress Futian, and the master of the State Religion and those elders were clearly siding with him rather than with the Supreme Unity Immortal Court!
Yet the Immortal Empress was not flustered in the slightest. She calmly reassured them, "My fellow immortals, after this battle, the Immortal Court shall flourish for eternity. The Immortal Emperor Realm can bear the karma once owed to the Gu Family."
She knew that Venerable Futian had come for Gu Qingyan, for the marriage pact they had made in childhood.
If this matter remained unresolved, her heart would find no peace. The Immortal Emperor Realm would be unsettled, and Futian would be unsettled.
If this matter were resolved, Supreme Unity would flourish.
The moment those words were spoken, the surroundings fell deathly silent. The Gu Family—a name from a very distant past.
Immortals ought to have thoughts that flowed freely...
Immortal King Zang lightly clenched his fist. He had once heard that the Gu Family and the State Religion had been remarkably close, bound even by a friendship of Dao and righteousness. Yet later, they had vanished without a trace, their clansmen no longer remaining.
He now understood somewhat. Brother Gu had likely committed some heaven-shaking mistakes in the past as well.
