Immortal Emperor Gu Yuan Descends to the Worship Hall, the Heavenly Dao Kneels in Subjugation

"I built my foundation in one year, reached the Golden Core in three, became an immortal in ten, and attained the Immortal Emperor Dao fruit in a million."

"I was just about to embark on the path of cutting off through the ages, only for you to tell me this is Douluo Continent, the smelly sewer of fantasy battle power?"

Inside the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu and the many other elders knelt prostrate on the ground, motionless, as time had already frozen.

Gu Yuan gazed at the Douluo Heavenly Dao kneeling before him in disbelief.

Having traveled through time a million years ago, he had finally cultivated to the Immortal Emperor Realm and officially emerged from seclusion.

Yet the moment he came out, he found something was wrong.

This world was pitifully weak.

An Immortal Emperor's single drop of blood could destroy the great chiliocosm of the universe.

Yet for this world, a single strand of hair was already too much.

The battle power was utterly shattered to pieces.

Only after dragging the Heavenly Dao over did he understand the situation.

Turns out what he transmigrated into was not a high-dimensional fantasy world, but Douluo Continent.

The Douluo World, famed as the battle power sewer!

What was even more crucial was that the world barrier was fragile beyond measure.

He had originally wanted to directly tear open the world barrier and head to the myriad realms.

Only to discover that once he did, this world would collapse along with it.

The moment he learned the consequence, he wanted to go full dark side right then and there.

Tying the lives of hundreds of millions of living beings to him, what the hell was this?

Even a professional trash-talker would spit until their throat went dry.

The Douluo Heavenly Dao knelt on the ground trembling, its face pale.

"My Lord, some special circumstances have occurred in the Douluo World, causing the world barrier to constantly weaken."

"If you force your departure, this realm will shatter into slag."

"I beg My Lord to show mercy!"

With that, it banged its head against the floor several times with loud thuds.

Gu Yuan furrowed his brows, and with a sweep of his divine sense, it was indeed so.

"Hmm? The destiny lines of this world... what is going on?"

Wherever his divine sense passed, the entire world lay completely bare.

Among all things, multiple-colored destiny line nodes appeared chaotic.

It was as if they had been forcibly distorted by an external force, forming completely new destiny lines.

Generally speaking, the destiny lines of living beings were fixed.

If abnormalities appeared, they were basically caused by external forces.

"The destiny lines of Douluo Continent? Quite interesting, it seems I still have some connection with Spirit Hall?"

His gaze swept over the people in the Worship Hall frozen by time, and some hazy memories flooded into his mind accordingly.

During his million years of seclusion, he had also briefly left, with the purpose of tempering his heart in the mortal world to forge a supreme Dao heart.

Over the million years, the people he came into contact with were indeed numerous.

Spirit Hall was one of them.

"My Lord, if you truly wish to leave the Douluo World, you can search for the Primordial Origin Crystal; the Primordial Origin Crystal can repair and strengthen the world barrier."

"Once the world barrier is strong enough, can you leave then?"

The voice of the Douluo Heavenly Dao carried a plea.

Once the world collapsed, it, as the Heavenly Dao, would also perish.

"Very well, speak of those destiny line issues first."

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment; certain people in the Douluo World seemed to have karmic ties with him.

It was just that there were too many memories, and he hadn't had time to sort through them yet.

Then he would take a look at what was going on for the time being.

"Replying to My Lord, many time-travelers have also appeared in the past, and the destiny lines of many people have been changed."

"Although this villain has continuously made corrections, too many have been changed, and the destiny lines are completely messed up."

Gu Yuan understood.

So it turned out too many time-travelers had appeared.

It seemed the Douluo World was one of the favorite worlds for many time-travelers.

Battle power was low, and transmigrating over was relatively safe.

The world's barriers were fragile largely because transmigrators came here, grew powerful, tore open the world's barriers, and left without a care, leaving behind a huge mess.

The Douluo Heavenly Dao had no choice but to make corrections to preserve this world.

"I'll find the Primordial Origin Crystal myself. You may go back."

Gu Yuan spoke slowly. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to forcibly tear open the world's barriers.

Although he was already an unrivaled Immortal Emperor, with the lives and deaths of countless billions of beings resting on a single thought.

He still had some conscience.

He didn't want billions of beings to perish because he left.

He had already waited a million years. He didn't mind waiting a few more.

The Douluo Heavenly Dao, as if granted a pardon, dispersed into golden specks of light.

Gu Yuan looked at the people kneeling on the ground.

With time frozen, they hadn't heard his exchange with the Heavenly Dao.

A million years could make one forget many things.

His memories of the original plot of the Douluo Continent had indeed grown very hazy.

Even the people he had met had become indistinct in his memories.

But when his gaze fell on Qian Daoliu, familiar memories surfaced.

Qian Daoliu had seen him when he was young.

Back then, Gu Yuan had summoned the Angel God to bless him.

From that day onward, Qian Daoliu had become one of his fanatical followers.

There was even a statue of him in the Worship Hall now.

The Angel God's statue had even been relegated to stand guard at the back.

After confirming Qian Daoliu's connection to him, Gu Yuan snapped his fingers, and time resumed.

"Greetings, Lord Gu!"

Qian Daoliu and the other six members of the Worship Hall knelt on the ground, their expressions respectful and their eyes fervent.

Gu Yuan sat on the throne before the statue and said calmly, "Rise."

"Thank you, Lord Gu!"

Qian Daoliu rose to his feet, the fervor in his eyes almost spilling out.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others stood behind him, not daring to look directly at Gu Yuan.

"Ninety-nine levels. Still not enough."

"Reporting to you, my lord, this junior... this junior has never been able to find the opportunity to become a god."

Qian Daoliu's voice was bitter.

Back then, Lord Gu had said he had the potential to become a god.

But more than a hundred years had passed, and he was still stuck at level ninety-nine.

Even with the Angel God's blessing, he had yet to reach level one hundred.

Becoming a god at level one hundred seemed to have become an unattainable dream.

"Lord Gu, have you returned this time to temper your heart in the mortal world?"

Qian Daoliu's gaze burned.

If Lord Gu had returned this time to temper his heart in the mortal world, that meant he might once again have a chance to follow at his side.

Gu Yuan lightly tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingers and said, "Tempering my heart in the mortal world can wait. Help me find something."

"Please give your orders, Lord Gu."

"The Primordial Origin Crystal. It's a multicolored crystal with a green mist inside."

Qian Daoliu was full of confusion.

He had never heard of the Primordial Origin Crystal.

But since Lord Gu had asked for it, he would have to turn the Spirit Hall upside down to find it.

Gu Yuan thought of something.

He wondered whether the so-called Child of Destiny of the Douluo World had been born yet.

In his memories, the Spirit Hall would eventually be destroyed by the Child of Destiny.

He couldn't remember the details anymore, but he knew the general outline.

Find the Child of Destiny, then kill him.

He was an Immortal Emperor. Killing the Child of Destiny of a Douluo World would have no effect on him.

Even the Heavenly Dao of the Douluo World wouldn't dare lay the karma at his door.

Because an Immortal Emperor did not become entangled in karma.

Heaven's Mandate?

Take it up with his Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit.

The Spirit Hall was connected to him, so naturally he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

If he encountered a Child of Destiny, he would simply kill them.

It was a simple matter.

"Lord Gu, the candidate list for the Divine Grace Ceremony, held once every ten years, has been prepared. Would you care to look?"

Qian Daoliu took out a list and presented it with both hands.

The Divine Grace Ceremony, held once every ten years, was something Gu Yuan had come up with when he had nothing else to do.

It was held inside the Worship Hall.

The Worship Hall selected the candidates, who then received blessings before Gu Yuan's statue.

Those who received blessings were also called God-Blessed Ones.

There were only a few months left until the next Divine Grace Ceremony.

He took the list Qian Daoliu had prepared and glanced over it. Familiar names came into view.

Bibi Dong, Hu Liena!

The Pope and the Saintess were both on the list?
