Chapter 1120: Could this be the same person?
It took Qin Yiyao a long time to calm down. She suppressed the palpitations in her heart and turned her gaze to Gu Ce.
Her face was pale, and she was covered in a cold sweat.
If Gu Ce hadn't intervened and forcibly severed her connection with the divine kingdom's fortune, the overwhelming wealth would have crushed her completely!
The divine kingdom's fortune is so immense that she absolutely cannot resist it.
Even though the current Qinggu Divine Kingdom's fortune is severely depleted, it is still not something that the weak can withstand.
None of these are the most important things.
The most important one is actually that elusive and mysterious Qing Gu Divine Lord!
As the ruler of the dynasty, the fate of the divine kingdom is closely related to him; they share both glory and disgrace. He had just stirred up the waves of fate, and if she were strong enough, she could easily take away that fate completely. Such an act would be tantamount to provoking the wrath of the gods, and would likely provoke the divine lord.
Fortunately.
Gu Ce offered assistance at the critical moment.
Otherwise, she would have surely ended up dying from her body exploding.
"Do you believe it now?"
Gu Ce smiled faintly.
"What exactly is going on?"
Qin Yiyao's voice was a little hoarse. She looked at her hands, as if they had just touched something taboo that shouldn't have been touched, and now she really couldn't help but believe it.
He knew that he did have some connection with the Wanchao civilization, but Qin Yiyao was completely unaware of it!
Gu Ce was right; she really didn't understand herself well enough.
For the first time in her life, Qin Yiyao felt fear because of the secret she possessed.
"because this."
Gu Ce raised his hand, his fingertips tracing lines in the air. A pale golden aura of fortune flowed around him, outlining a blurry picture. It was a network of roots woven together by countless lines. Each line connected to a dynasty's power, and the source of all the lines pointed to the highest point of the myriad dynasties' civilization, that indescribable colossal shadow.
The colossal shadow that hung high atop the civilization of countless dynasties slowly lowered a wisp of its aura.
Qin Yiyao's breathing suddenly stopped.
It wasn't a specific face or shape; the only thing that could be clearly seen was the magnificent crown on the giant shadow's head, which looked like it was woven from countless pale golden veins.
Just by witnessing this phantom, Qin Yiyao felt as if her soul was being drawn in, merging with that vast and boundless existence.
The power within her surged with unprecedented activity at this moment, not out of fear, but from the resonance and call of the source of the Dao!
"...The Divine Emperor of the Dynasty?"
Qin Yiyao's voice trembled slightly, without her even realizing it.
no doubt.
There is only one being that can rise above all dynasties.
This was the first time Qin Yiyao had ever seen a god of the era, or rather, the appearance of any god she could see.
Emperor Yunchao.
The supreme god of all dynasties, the source of all laws and authority.
"This is not the true form of the Divine Emperor of the Dynasty. I have merely created a phantom image based on the fortune of the Divine Kingdom."
Gu Ce kept his head down and did not look directly at the god.
"The true Divine Emperor of the Dynasty has been imprisoned by the combined forces of the Dynasty Lords, who have seized his divine authority."
He paused, his gaze falling on Qin Yiyao's pale face: "Do you understand now why Qingyin's divine power had no effect on you?"
Why would the divine kingdom's fortune submit to you, and even yearn to merge with you?
Hear the words.
Countless thoughts flashed through Qin Yiyao's mind in an instant. The most incredible, yet the only one that could explain all the problems, surfaced, making her almost afraid to think about it further.
"Could it be that I am..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Ce interrupted her.
“You are not yet the Divine Emperor of the Dynasty, but you have some kind of fundamental connection with it, and that alone is enough.”
The Imperial Advisor waved his hand, and the giant shadow formed by the aura and Daoist principles instantly vanished without a trace.
Qin Yiyao frowned: "But I am just a cultivator who ascended from the lower realm, why is this happening?"
and many more!
Her master!
If there were any exceptions beyond her control, the only one who could explain it all was her master!
"Because of Gu Heng."
A complex and unfathomable light flashed in Gu Ce's eyes. "What your master did for you is the key."
He revealed her master's name!
Qin Yiyao's eyes narrowed sharply, and she was already thinking about how to escape!
More than a decade after her ascension, she still hadn't forgotten the wizard's warning: never mention her master's name to outsiders. But what if an outsider did mention it?
She couldn't say it, but Gu Ce knew the name Gu Heng. What should she do?
Do you know who he is?
Gu Ce's voice was exceptionally clear in the biting wind.
"……do not know."
Qin Yiyao's voice was steady, but only she could feel the dryness in her throat.
escape?
The thought only flashed through her mind before she suppressed it.
"If the Imperial Advisor knows anything, please inform him."
Since Gu Ce dared to directly mention his master's name in front of her, it meant that he must know something. For his beloved disciple who had been kept in the dark for so long, this was already a rare truth.
She didn't want to miss it.
"You have already met two of his most outstanding followers."
Gu Ce smiled.
"Do I need to make it any clearer?"
A follower of her master?
When you involuntarily think of Lord Lieyang and the Spirit Tomb Witch King, once their images appear in your mind, isn't the answer obvious?
"No, that's impossible!"
absurd.
This was Qin Yiyao's first reaction.
Qin Yiyao was no stranger to the words "Enemy of the Era".
After ascending to immortality, she heard this title intermittently, and it was often associated with terror, disaster, and taboo. In particular, when people mentioned this title, the fear they showed seemed genuine.
Such fear of a dead person is enough to show that even after death, that person left behind unimaginable harm.
She never imagined that this terrifying being, which was fought against by all the heavens and seemed to have perished in the end, would be equated with the master in her memory who always had a gentle smile and taught her how to brew tea and decoct medicine for her in the small clinic.
Therefore, she found it utterly absurd.
Could this be the same person?
But Gu Ce had no reason to lie to her.
Immediately afterwards, countless details flooded my mind like a tide.
She had been speculating about her master's origins for a long time, but she always guessed wrong, and the threshold for guessing again had to be raised higher and higher.
And he was even quite accurate in his guesses at one point!
The reason why Master's name cannot be mentioned casually is precisely because he has made many enemies throughout the myriad realms.
The followers made countless enemies, and the Great Enemy of the Era himself was also surrounded by enemies.
But she ultimately didn't consider that possibility.
They can't overlap no matter what.
But once that thin, yet incredibly heavy, layer of paper was pierced, Qin Yiyao knew that she could never go back to the past.
