Become a True God? Gu Yuanqing had no interest in that.
Still, something in Wei Zhao's words had caught his interest.
"The situation in the Fa Yuan Realm?" Gu Yuanqing asked.
Wei Zhao said, "Why ask when you already know? Otherwise, why would you enter the Exquisite World? Even if you merely obtained something from the Fa Yuan Realm, you should know a little about it. Besides... I don't believe you've cultivated all this time without ever sensing the problem with rule divine artifacts."
