Infernal Hero

Chapter 766 Turn Around

We have heard many stories about the gods and humans of the Heavenly Kingdom. After careful examination, it is not difficult to discover that there is no difference between the Heavenly Kingdom and the Mortal Kingdom. Gods and humans are human beings, just like mortals. The Heavenly Kingdom was high above them, and there were also different factions with distinct barriers, each carrying out its own duties. As for the gods, their abilities were large and small, and their kinship was thick and thin, so they were still divided into 369 grades.

In the legendary Skyquaking Divine Kingdom, there was no eternal paradise. Even though this place was rich in resources and elemental spirits. Compared to the people of the surface world, the people here have longer lifespans. But their desire for freedom, their pain and their happiness are no different from those of the people on the surface.

The people living in the capital were enjoying the conveniences brought by this brilliant city, but they were also facing various problems and tremendous pressure to survive. Not to mention the merchants and pawns, even the noble Duke and Gongqing of the Heavenly Clan would still have a time worrying about how difficult it was for the Divine Capital to live.

Gu Tianyou was walking on Baili Avenue with Leonardo following him as butler, carrying a heavy gift from the Federation.

Occasionally, they would hear customers complaining about the prices of federal goods in the shops on the side of the road. Then, they would curse at the three great demon nets for disrupting the world's waterways, causing huge losses to the merchant groups traveling to and from the Divine Kingdom. Now that the supply of goods was scarce, the transportation costs had increased dramatically, and there was no way to increase the prices.

Some people complained that the Divine Kingdom's imperial court did not do anything serious, collected high taxes, and gathered the beliefs of all living beings, but did not care about the welfare of all living beings. The three great demons were placed here to cause chaos in the world, causing the four seas to be in turmoil, and the Imperial Court did not send troops to encircle and suppress them. The Great Wei Heavenly Dragon Clan on Infinite Jade's side did nothing, but the Imperial Court said that they wanted to overthrow the orthodox status of the human race, and they were already sending out generals to conquer them.

Others complained that the cheap goods of science and technology from the surface world were obviously of good quality and cheap price. They poured into the Axis World through the Kunlun Divine Palace of the Thunder Continent, but the Divine Kingdom Imperial Court did not allow the goods from the Thunder Magus Kingdom to enter the Divine Capital. Many merchants have no choice but to resort to smuggling for profit.

As the two of them walked, Gu Tianyou turned around and smiled at Leonardo, "Allowing A Yuan to make a ruckus, the Divine Kingdom's imperial court is completely covered in plants and vegetation. People's hearts are often related to the stability of the country's foundations. If things continue like this, the big Divine Kingdom will be torn apart in a few years."

"Can it be that serious?" Leonardo looked at the prosperous capital and the towering city. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like the sun was setting on the west.

Gu Tianyou said, "Of course not now, but the near future is hard to say." "There are many contradictions within the Divine Kingdom Imperial Court. The Federation may have achieved a breakthrough in the surface world. The next step for the Great Leader is to covetously target the Divine Kingdom. The Heavenly Daoist monsters spread rumors and dispersed the beliefs of the people. The return of Great Saint Master Gongsun Wuji and the establishment of the Thunder Witchcraft Kingdom will also bring new contradictions to the Shennong ethnic group."

"And you," Leonardo whispered. "If it weren't for you releasing the three Great Demon Saints and rescuing Dragon King Ao Kun, the Divine Kingdom Imperial Court wouldn't have had such a headache right now."

Gu Tianyou said, "There are some things that I don't want to do. Instead, they want to do it quietly. If we don't do anything, they will force us over step by step and then swallow us up one mouthful at a time."
Leonardo glanced at the gift in his hand and said, "Since you are determined to fight to the end, why are you preparing so many precious gifts? God King Tiandu is the one who urged you to disqualify yourself from participating in the Divine Capital Grand Meeting. Obsidian of such good quality is rarely seen even in the Fuehrer's laboratory. Isn't it a pity to give it to him?"

"I'm reluctant to part with the child. I can't trap the Gu Tianyou said, "The Shennong matter is not as simple as you think. Although Zhang Chong'er has disqualified me from representing the Federation at the Divine Capital Grand Meeting, he may not object to me participating in the Grand Meeting on behalf of the Ice Plains Continent. However, before he agrees, we need to show some sincerity."

"I heard that he is Liu Yunhuang's eldest disciple. He has a talent for fire virtue. In order to practice, he consumes a certain amount of obsidian every day. To him, this level of obsidian can be considered a great supplement. Not everyone can do it."

Leonardo said, "Of course I know the value of this kind of crystalline obsidian. I'm afraid that if he accepts a gift and does something, wouldn't we suffer a huge loss for nothing?"

Gu Tianyou laughed loudly and said, "This shows that you are not familiar with our culture. The so-called Hua Hua sedan chair is lifting people higher and higher. It makes sense that Zhang Chong'er would have been taken down by someone if he wasn't so honest."

"Anyway, I think your chances of doing this are slim."

Leonardo said, "La Osise personally went to God's City, You offered to disqualify yourself from the party, "That means they already have someone more suitable than you. Furthermore, Xin Jisi also said that they did this because they obtained the benefits promised by the Divine Kingdom's Imperial Court. Since the Divine Kingdom has already agreed to make a deal with the Federation in order to kick you out, how can the Divine King of Tiandu help you?"

Gu Tianyou said, "The Good Fortune Spirit Land is likely to contain the secrets of the Pangu Origin Realm's evolved Heaven Domain, So I'm determined to get it, Although this matter was somewhat obstructive, "However, there is no lack of help. The Divine Kingdom Imperial Court is a complicated place. These officials restrict each other. On the surface, they are friendly, but secretly they are fighting to the death. If something big involves a party struggle, it will become a big problem. Some of them do not want me to participate in the Divine Capital Grand Meeting, but some also want me to participate."

"Even if there is, it shouldn't be the Heavenly Capital Divine King, right?" Leonardo was still puzzled.

"You only know one thing and don't know the other." Gu Tianyou chuckled, "As far as I know, there has been a voice in the Divine Kingdom Imperial Court for nearly three hundred years, He believed that God Emperor Zhang Jiangxi had been inactive in his position for too long, and that the development of the Divine Kingdom had lagged far behind that of the Federation. There was a faint tendency to suppress the development of the Federation's forces, so he should abdicate the throne and give way to the Virtuous. He even suggested that the Federation should change the dynasty system into a constitutional monarchy … "


Leonardo nodded, "Are you saying that the Reformists will support your participation in the capital's grand gathering, and that the Heavenly Capital God King is also a member of the Reformists?"

Gu Tianyou said, "Although it's not that far away, the Divine King of Heaven Capital is not a member of the reformist sect, but he doesn't like Zhang Jiangxi sitting in his seat all the time. May I ask which Crown Prince doesn't want to become the main force after being a substitute for more than 10,000 years?"

"I understand. I understand a little." "But I still don't understand," Leonardo said. "Why are you so sure that the innovators will support you?"

Gu Tianyou said, "The streets are full of people talking about how good the goods of the surface world are. Have you ever thought about what is hidden behind this?"

"What?" Leonardo was confused.

Gu Tianyou narrowed his eyes and said, "Someone is deliberately expanding Gongsun Wuji's influence among the people. Or rather, the Confucian School is Gongsun Wuji's most staunch believer!"

Leonardo followed this train of thought and analyzed, "Gongsun Wuji and you had an agreement that you would help Mingyue at the Divine Capital Grand Meeting."

"Therefore, the reformists will definitely mess with God King Tiandu and give me a chance." Gu Tianyou said confidently, "Last time in Wuqiongbi, Chen Baishao had already used his actions to prove that they were even more eager than us to see the stagnant waters of the Divine Kingdom move."

"It's too complicated." Leonardo shook his head and sighed, "You are such a weird people. It is obvious that very simple things have to be done in a very complicated way, but sometimes very complicated things have to be solved by you very easily."

Gu Tianyou laughed loudly and boarded the Griffin Car of the merchant group. "Let's go, my lord housekeeper," he said.

Gu Tianyou and Leonardo alighted from the Griffin Vehicle and were stopped by the servants at the entrance of the Heavenly Capital Divine Palace. After explaining his intentions, the other party turned around and went back to the porter to inform the responsible steward.

There were some third-grade officials in front of the Prime Minister's Gate, and the Divine King of the Heavenly Capital was in charge of matters of great and small importance in the Divine Capital. Naturally, the stewards in front of his Gate were also extraordinary.

The steward had a flat nose and small eyes, and his appearance wasn't very good, but his airs weren't small. A look of disdain flashed across his face when he recognized the Griffin with the Phoenix Merchant Group logo. He glanced sideways at the two of them and asked in a tone, "Are you two from the Federation?"

The Divine Kingdom had been strong for a long time, and it had always considered itself the leader of the empire. The citizens had great confidence in themselves, and they had always been discriminating against the federates. As a member of the Heavenly Capital Divine Palace, this steward was naturally knowledgeable. He had long recognized the Phoenix Trading Group's logo, but it was not a big deal.

Leonardo was known as the god of death, and he had always been a lofty figure. The reason why he was willing to stay by Gu Tianyou's side as a housekeeper was because he was grateful to him for helping him rebuild his body. The second reason was because of Mina's existence. The third reason why he stayed was because he gradually had some affection as a bond. So he was willing to stay. Putting aside his infatuation with the Ice and Snow Goddess, Leonardo was also a master with a high personality. After being looked down upon by the little steward, he was about to explode.

Gu Tianyou stepped forward and stopped him. He turned to the steward and quietly stuffed a piece of medium-grade spirit jade in front of him. He said, "Please inform the steward that Shengye Town Sheriff Gu Tianyou wants to see the Divine King of Heaven Capital." Before coming here, he had already found out clearly that the Heavenly Capital God King had just returned to the palace half an hour ago, so asking for an audience directly appeared confident and not too abrupt.

The steward at the entrance was also a concierge in the Divine King's Mansion. Among the servants with surnames and grades in the mansion, he belonged to a small role that could not be any smaller. He was still many levels away from the real butler. Gu Tianyou said that the butler called him delighted. He held the spirit jade in his hand, and the warm feeling instantly entered his heart. It was definitely not something that could be compared to the low-grade goods that were relatively common in normal days. This fellow had never expected Gu Tianyou to be so heroic. His heart beat like a drum as he pinched a mid-grade spirit jade that was worth ten thousand gold.

Not to mention pretending to be his grandson, he even spoke a little awkwardly, "So, it turns out that Lord Gu has arrived. The Godking is really in the manor. I'll pass it on to you right now. However, the ugly thing is that the Godking is always on the right track. This lowly person can't guarantee that the Godking will definitely see you." After saying that, he nodded and bowed before turning around to enter the Divine King's Mansion.

Leonardo scratched his head thoughtfully as he watched the snob leave. Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "If you hit him just now, it would be called coming to the Divine Kingdom to slap him in the face. It's not the face of this lowly person, but the face of the Divine King of the Heavenly Capital. He is not high behind that gate and has little power, but because he has the advantage of location, even if a major member of the Divine Kingdom wants to pass this trial, he should not be kicked around."

"I'm not going to argue with such a lowly person." Leonardo was a little worried, "I just suspect that Zhang Chong'er can really help?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps coming from behind the door. The sound of drums and bamboo music entered his ears. The main door opened wide, and the side door shone brightly. The side door connected. The steward of the manor walked out. A king walked out from the middle of the door. He cupped his fists and smiled apologetically, "I don't know if the magistrate has arrived. Please forgive me if I've lost far away!" The Divine King personally treated the guests of the three gates with courtesy. Such specifications might not be seen once in a few years at this gate.

When the butler saw this scene, he was dumbfounded.
