Antiquity

Chapter 55
In the year 420 in the later ancient calendar, on the fifth day of the sixth month, the true god Bai Jue announced the wedding day of the Three Realms.

It was only early morning on this day, and the Yuanling Swamp was full of guests. Although the invitation of the True God Bai Jue stated that everything should be kept simple, the congratulatory gifts sent to the Palace of Heaven in advance were still endless. It was the aura formed by Yujian's flight, which was enough to make this vast area as dark as day. It was not until three days ago that the True God Bai Jue forbade anyone from entering the Yuanling Swamp on the grounds that the wedding was imminent, and this madness slowed down. down.

It was not until the day of the big wedding that the Palace of the Sky was reopened.

But the countless flying swords stopped ten meters away from the Yuanling Swamp, and the immortals and demons who were injured by the swords looked at each other in dismay, and were speechless for a moment.

The world has heard that the ancient true god's supernatural power reaches the heavens, is as long as the sky, and surpasses all living beings in the three realms. Only now did they have a true understanding.

In the center of the prehistoric swamp, around the thousand-foot-high boulder that connects to the sky, four floating ladders are formed like a miracle. Tens of thousands of small stones are floating in the air, piled up step by step, and the golden aura is shrouded around the floating ladder. A little bit of starlight is condensed, like a flowing cloud in the Milky Way.

At the same time, a powerful and vast coercion slowly spread from the ladder, pressing towards them.

Everyone looked at each other knowingly, fell to the ground, and walked towards the floating ladder beside the boulder.

Fortunately, the wedding was held at dusk, and there were still a few hours left, so they still had time to climb up.

The meaning of the sudden appearance of the four golden ladders connecting the sky is self-evident. At this time, no one pays attention to the arrogance of gods and demons. This ladder is formed by the condensed power of the true god Bai Jue. Not everyone can complete it. But at least those who can reach the Sky Palace have already been recognized by True God Bai Jue.

For a time, the auras on the four ladders were changing and changing, and they were colorful. Looking from a distance, they formed a spectacle.

At the same time, in the apse of the Sky Palace.

The Emperor of Heaven and the Empress of Heaven sat by the window, the Empress of Heaven was contemplative, and seemed uneasy, while the Emperor of Heaven looked outside with emotion, stroked his beard and said, "True God Baijue is really a good means. At the beginning I was still thinking, congratulations If there are too many people, the Firmament Palace will not be able to accommodate them, I never thought he would make such an arrangement, so I was too worried."

"You have a good temper. He didn't discuss this kind of plan with us at all. If we didn't come a few days earlier with Jing Zhao's marriage in mind, wouldn't we have to climb up the ladder like those people today?" Tianhou looked angrily. Glancing at the Emperor of Heaven, some hated that iron could not be made into steel.

"Wu Huan." The Emperor of Heaven straightened his expression, "Although he is about to become our son-in-law, don't forget, he is the true god Bai Jue." His voice was low, even a little dignified.

After ten thousand years, he was really afraid that Wu Huan would have forgotten who they were facing now.Even if the ancient world is dusty now, the deterrent power of the ancient true gods should not be underestimated.

Just looking at today's situation, we know that not everyone has the courage to dare all beings in the three realms to climb this endless [-]-meter ladder under the pressure of divine power.

Tianhou's expression changed, and she tightened her hand holding the teacup. Just as she was about to say something, a maid in purple came in. She filled up the tea for Tiandi Tianhou, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to the side hall to rest. The true god said that the big wedding is coming soon, and there are many trivial matters, so it is inconvenient to meet the two of you."

The maid's voice was loud, but she was extremely courteous and generous. Her complexion changed slightly behind the sky, her eyes narrowed, and she glanced at her arrogantly. She felt that it was a shame to argue with a maid. True God Bai Jue is really so busy since he doesn't have time to meet us?"

The purple-clothed maid bowed, with an even more respectful expression: "Tianhou Haihan." After she finished speaking, she fell silent.

Tianhou gave her a cold look, then flicked her sleeves and said, "Go down."

After the purple-clothed maid went out, the Queen of Heaven couldn't hold back her anger and said to the Emperor of Heaven: "What kind of servant is this, who doesn't understand the rules!" Thinking of Bai Jue sending back all the maids she sent back a few days ago, the Queen of Heaven's voice Involuntarily cooled down.

"Wu Huan, these people are not simple. I know why the True God Bai Jue chose this place as his residence." The Heavenly Emperor paused, and then said: "This place used to be Yuanling Swamp, and there are countless monsters and beasts. The three-headed fire dragon It is even closer to the power of the Supreme God. The True God Bai Jue is sitting here now, even facing the two worlds of immortals and demons, his strength is not much less. These servants are all transformed by monsters. He has made rapid progress, and he is willing to regard him as the master, and the three fire dragons must be the beasts he sits on now."

Tianhou snorted, and continued: "But what's the matter, we've been here for three days, and besides eating and drinking so much to pass away, we can't even see him at all?"

The Emperor of Heaven also frowned slightly, but still said: "Wu Huan, we are fine, what is the reason why you are so eager to see the True God Bai Jue? I have watched you flustered these days, is there something wrong ?”

Tianhou's expression froze, and he hid his expression and said: "It's nothing, even if he is a true god, but Jing Zhao is my daughter anyway, how can he be so humiliated?"

"Wuhuan, tell the truth, I want to come these few days, even if you don't like Houchi any more, it's enough to send a secret decree to Qingchi Palace, but it's a bit too much for you to declare to the Three Realms in the name of imperial decree... What are you worrying about?" The Emperor of Heaven rubbed his brows and sighed, "Jing Zhao is going to get married soon, what else do you have to worry about?"

"I'm only worried if Jing Zhao is about to get married." Seeing that the Emperor of Heaven had already said this, the Queen of Heaven did not hide the worry in her eyes, and said, "Twilight, we have been passed down from ancient times. Do you know the disposition of the four true gods?" Yes, you said...how could True God Bai Jue marry Jing Zhao?"

"Even if Jing Zhao was kind to Qing Mu back then, but as the True God of Bai Jue, he has a thousand ways to repay his kindness, which would definitely make people speechless, but why... marry Jing Zhao?"

The Queen of Heaven stared fixedly at the Emperor of Heaven with a solemn expression.Jing Zhao was born of her [-]-year pregnancy, her blood is thicker than water, she knows better than anyone how arrogant the Four Great True Gods were back then, that's why she is so worried.

"Wu Huan, you are worrying too much. In the ancient times, the True God Bai Jue was famous for his love and loyalty. There is nothing incomprehensible about it... Besides, it is the post-ancient era, and it has long been different from before."

Tianhou frowned and did not speak, she understood the meaning of Twilight's words, in today's Hougu world, there is no one who can surpass Jing Zhao's identity, and it is only natural for the True God Bai Jue to take a fancy to her.

"No, Twilight, I was just thinking..." Tianhou's voice was somewhat distant: "If Bai Jue can be reborn, could the other true gods also..."

The Queen of Heaven's voice was extremely difficult, and the Emperor of Heaven paused when he heard the words, and the teacups he held in his hands made a crisp clinking sound, and he said after concentrating for a while: "I don't know the other two true gods, but... the ancient true gods will never come to the world again. possible."

Hearing the certainty in the words of the Emperor of Heaven, an invisible stream of light flashed in the eyes of the Queen of Heaven, and she breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved from a heavy burden, and said, "Twilight, why are you so sure?"

"Wu Huan, don't forget that when the catastrophe of chaos came, the ancient true god sacrificed himself to the world, and used his own power of chaos to clear the prehistoric world from the Three Realms, so that the world can be kept stable and the world is cleansed. Only the power of chaos can save the world. Now the Three Realms It has been safe for tens of thousands of years, and it is all the work of the ancient gods."

"And the other three true gods will disappear in the great battle after the fall of the ancient true gods. They are different from the ancient true gods." The Emperor of Heaven sighed, seeming a little disappointed: "Up to now, no one knows that the ancient world was dusty, and other The truth about the disappearance of the three high gods at the same time. Now that the true god Bai Jue has reappeared, I suspect that the other two true gods may still be in the world."

"What do you mean?" Tianhou was slightly taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"Wu Huan, don't forget that 3000 years ago when the fairy and demon worlds fought, Jing Yuan, the Ziyue demon king of the demon world, blocked my blow. Although I didn't use all my strength, he was not weaker than me at all."

"Didn't you guess at that time that he might be the High God that was missed in the ancient world?" Hearing Twilight talk about this for the first time, Tian Hou's eyes suddenly changed, and she hurriedly asked.

"I really thought so at the time, but now that Bai Jue is awake, I feel that Jingyuan may not be simple, because I have never seen him from the beginning to the end, if he didn't know me, how could he Deliberately?" The Heavenly Emperor sighed, put down the cup in his hand, and said slowly: "You have been in seclusion for many years, and I have never told you about these things. However, Wu Huan, even if the true god is awakened, it is nothing. We After all, they have been in charge of the Three Realms for tens of thousands of years, and their status is unshakable, and besides, they will not interfere in the Three Realms at all, you should understand that, to them, the Three Realms are actually nothing but the secular world."

Tianhou was speechless for a long time, until the Emperor of Heaven held her cold hand, a little warmth brought her back to her senses, she smiled, her expression was no longer as cold as before, but the worry between her brows became heavier.

If even he wakes up, then sooner or later, Bai Jue will know what she did, and then... it will be a catastrophe for the entire Tiangong!
Tianhou looked out the window - on the [-]-meter ladder, the crowd was full of movement, the spirit was shining, and it was very lively.

In any case, this wedding must be completed smoothly without any mistakes!

The Heavenly Emperor looked at the gloomy-looking Tianhou, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, Wu Huan, what are you hiding?
At this time, Feng Ran, Chang Que, and Hou Chi were driving towards the Yuanling Swamp in auspicious clouds.

Chang Que looked at Fengran and Houchi from time to time, and saw that the two looked normal, knocking over the fairy fish tied with a red ribbon in the basket in their hands, and their usually serious faces were full of crying. If you do what you say, if you enter the Palace of the Firmament like this, it's no wonder you don't get laughed out of your teeth!
But, will the little god go to the Yuanling Swamp like this, will everything be fine?
Seeing that Chang Que's brows were almost knotted, Feng Ran yelled, "Chang Que, take it easy, we are here to attend a wedding, not to rob, and others will misunderstand you with your appearance."

What she said was so serious that Chang Que couldn't help shouting in his heart, who would believe you with your fierce appearance!
Hou Chi's condensed expression was dumbfounded by the two of them, she glanced at the fish in Chang Que's hand, touched her nose and said, "It's quite shabby, Chang Que, I remember you were very generous before, why are you so generous?" The congratulatory gift prepared this time is so 'ingenious'?"

Chang Que's complexion suddenly turned black, he glanced at Feng Ran, lowered his head aggrieved, and fell silent in deep sorrow.

Fengran raised her eyebrows, smiled "hehe", and was about to say something when Gujun Shangshen in green clothes appeared in front of the three of them, blocking the way.

Looking at the person coming, Hou Chi looked a little hesitant, and said in a deep voice, "Old man, are you here to stop me?"

Gujun Shangshen waved his hands, and said to Fengran: "You and Changque go to the Palace of Heaven, and we will come later."

Feng Ran glanced at the two of them, nodded, and took Chang Que one step ahead.

With Bai Jue's current supernatural power, if there is no Gu Jun Shangshen in their new force, they will all be cannon fodder. Now that the old man is willing to join in, it is naturally excellent.

There were only two people left in the air, and Houchi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the ancient king, Shangshen, and lowered his head: "Father, I know that Qingmu is the real god now, but I really don't believe his soul dissipates..."

Gujun Shangshen interrupted Houchi, waved his hand, and the two appeared on the fairy mountain under the auspicious clouds. He looked around and said, "Houchi, do you know where this is?"

There was a dignified and seriousness in Gujun Shangshen's words that was not usually seen. Houchi was a little stunned, and then said after a pause: "I know, this is Kunlun Mountain."

"I was here back then and fought for the position of High God for you." The voice of Gu Jun High God was a little distant, as if he remembered the past years.

"Father God, it's me who didn't live up to expectations and made you worry." Thinking that Gu Jun was shocked by her self-defeating God's position a hundred years ago, Hou Chi felt a little guilty.

"It's just a false name. I couldn't see through it back then, but it made you suffer." Gu Jun Shangshen looked a little regretful, silent for a long time, then suddenly turned his head, and said solemnly: "Houchi, even if Qingmu is no longer here , you still want to go to the Palace of the Sky?"

Houchi nodded with a firm expression on his face: "Father God, I owe this to him. Fengran told me that in order to get promoted earlier, he did not hesitate to absorb the demon power on Optimus Prime and make himself a demon. He waited for me for 100 years." In [-], I have to go, even if... I die at the hands of Bai Jue, I still have to fulfill the promise I made to him before the exile."

She went to the Yuanling Swamp today, and she did have the idea of ​​'it is better to be broken than to be whole'...

No one in this world has to give unconditionally for another person, but Qingmu has always done this for her. She may not owe anyone, except Qingmu.

"Really?" Gu Jun Shangshen turned his head, Kunlun Wonderland, thousands of years are like a day, lingering with fairy energy, just like back then.

"Houchi, for ten thousand years, I have always wanted to give you supreme glory, to make you surpass all living beings in the three realms, but now I realize that I can't do it at all."

He turned his head, with deep helplessness in his eyes: "In this world, the strong are respected, and it has always been like this. I taught you the character of standing proudly in the three worlds, but I forgot that without the matching strength, none of this can be done at all." arrive."

"Father God, it's my Xianji who is too bad, and it has nothing to do with you." Hou Chi said softly, with a relieved expression.

"It's not that your Immortal Foundation is too bad..." Gu Jun slowly closed his voice, looked in the direction of Tiangong, his expression was cold for a moment, the powerful divine power swirled in the fairyland of Kunlun Mountain, and then condensed into a beam of light, heading straight into the sky.

As far as the eye can see, the spiritual power is glowing with silver brilliance, covering the sky and the earth, mysterious and distant.

Hou Chi looked at this scene in shock, how could the old man's supernatural power rise so terrifyingly suddenly, he was not at the level of Shangshen at all!
"Houchi, I wished to change your fate, but in the end I found that there is nothing I can do. What I can do for you now is to give you another chance to choose."

Gu Jun turned his head and looked at Houchi, with reluctance in his eyes, he patted Houchi on the shoulder, hugged her, and said softly, "This is the only thing Father God can do for you."

After the words were finished, the silver light fell on Houchi and fixed her. In Houchi's astonished eyes, Gujun Shangshen slowly flew towards the sky, and disappeared into the air in the direction of Yuanling Swamp.

Father God, he wants to... Seems to understand the meaning of Gu Jun's words, Houchi suddenly came back to his senses, and struggled with the concentration of immortal power, but the immortal curse set by Gu Jun's god did not move at all, and suddenly remembered the stone chain on his wrist, She hastily concentrated her energy, transformed her immortal sword and cut her wrist, and poured blood into the stone chain, only the weak spiritual power escaped from the immortal spell bound by Gu Jun.

Houchi was taken aback for a moment, the divine power of the Father God...can restrain the power of the stone chain, what's going on?

The fairy curse was slightly loosened, Houchi didn't think much about it, and directed the fairy sword to scratch the wound between the big wrists, blood poured in, the aura became stronger, and the fairy curse finally loosened at an invisible speed.

On the top of Kunlun Mountain, a land of paradise, Houchi looked at this Qiongyao fairyland, but suddenly felt desolate and lonely in his heart.

In Yuanling Swamp, Bai Jue dressed in red stood on the top of the sky. Jing Zhao stood not far behind him, also dressed in red. She hesitated for a long time before she walked a few steps closer and said, "Bai Jue, my mother is only worried about me." Only then will the decree be issued to punish Houchi, she and her father have lived in the Houchi for three days..."

Three days ago, the Emperor and Empress of Heaven visited the Realm of the Sky, and Bai Jue refused to meet with him on the pretext of being busy with the wedding. Jing Zhao subconsciously felt that it was because of the imperial decree to punish Houchi.

Bai Jue turned around, with tenderness in his eyes, came over and held Jing Zhao in his arms, and said with a smile, "Why do you think this way, I've been busy these days, so I neglected them, when today's wedding is over, I will be with the Emperor of Heaven The Queen of Heaven made a happy speech."

"Really?" Jing Zhao's eyes were full of joy, being hugged by Bai Jue like this, his face turned slightly red.

"Naturally, go and rest. Today is the big wedding. When the guests are full, there will be no time to rest." Bai Jue patted Jing Zhao's shoulder, and said lightly to the maid beside him, "Accompany the princess to go in and rest."

"Bai Jue, then I'll go in first." Jing Zhao saw that there was a maid beside him at this moment, blushed, and hurriedly broke free from Bai Jue's arms, and ran towards the main hall.

Bai Jue watched her disappear into the hall with a smile, the corners of his lips curled up, but that smile never reached his eyes.

He turned around and looked down at the world. Under his feet, thousands of spiritual lights flickered in the ladder, forming a wonderful picture.

"Gu Jun, our destiny has already come to an end tens of thousands of years ago, even you are not qualified to be contaminated."

On the top of the sky, the voice of nothingness slowly dissipated and disappeared in the mist that stretched across the sky.
