Just as Demon Suppression City was urgently evacuating mortals, at the core of the Demon Suppression Land, countless demons were gathering mightily. Their movements were slow, but all kinds of demons were making the same action, uttering sounds that were hard to describe, like whispering and telling, or like sacrificial chanting.
Above the Demon Suppression Land, demonic clouds churned, like a gluttonous beast choosing someone to devour, emitting a gloomy and terrifying aura that made people shudder.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in space, and several golden figures walked out of the crack.
"Master, is this the Nine Nether Region? It's so dark and scary!" A'Wu was startled when she saw the demonic clouds churning below in the Demon Suppression Land. It was her first time seeing such a place, just like the legendary Nine Nether Hell.
"This is the Demon Suppression Land I told you about before," said the Golden Ancient Emperor.
"Good heavens, Master, you're not kidding, are you? We were just in the Central God Continent, and now we're in the Demon Suppression Land of the Eastern Region?" A'San's mouth was wide open, so surprised that he could stuff a few source crystals in it.
"I've said that your teacher is the Golden Ancient Emperor. Do you understand what an Ancient Emperor is? It's equivalent to a human emperor." The Golden Ancient Emperor repeatedly emphasized his identity, annoyed. Spatial teleportation was just a matter of thought, wasn't it?
"Don't understand!"
The three disciples shook their heads. They had embarked on the path of cultivation, but their talents were insufficient. They had only cultivated to the Leap Mortal Realm after a few years, which allowed them to fly. The Golden Ancient Emperor was afraid of telling them too much about the cultivation realms, so he didn't tell them all the cultivation realms, but only told them the three realms after their current realm.
Now they only knew the Life and Death Realm. As for Great Emperor, Ancient Emperor, and Supreme, they had no concept of them.
"Forget it, saving A'Xiong and A'Long is the most important thing," said the Golden Ancient Emperor.
But just as the Golden Ancient Emperor was about to take action, a cyan figure came out to stop him.
"Boss?"
The Golden Ancient Emperor said in surprise.
Now, the only person on the Heavenly Barren Star who could stop him was Gu Changsheng. Houtu was in seclusion, and the Old Supremes were not on the Heavenly Barren Star. Apart from him, no one could stop the current Golden Ancient Emperor. Even the Old Supremes might not be the Golden Ancient Emperor's opponents.
The current Golden Ancient Emperor was in a peculiar state, having surpassed the Supreme Realm, but not yet a Celestial, as if he had forcibly opened up a realm between the Supreme Realm and the True Celestial.
This was like Gu Changsheng walking the path of extreme limits. At this time, the Golden Ancient Emperor's combat power was probably close to the middle stage of True Celestial.
Gu Changsheng could see the Golden Ancient Emperor's state at a glance, so when he was about to take action, he stopped him.
"Not bad, your strength has improved a lot," Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
"Hehe, but compared to you, Boss, it's still far behind," the Golden Ancient Emperor said with a smile.
Gu Changsheng shook his head gently and said, "Isn't comparing yourself to me just humiliating yourself?"
The Golden Ancient Emperor's smile froze, and he said with a wry smile, "Boss, at least give me some face in front of my disciples!"
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng looked at A'Wu and the other two, and the three of them were also curiously staring at Gu Changsheng. For some reason, they actually felt a strange sense of familiarity with the person in front of them who was called Boss by their master. This feeling was very peculiar, like when mortals worship gods, and the gods appear in front of the mortals. The mortals don't know who he is, but they feel inexplicably close to him.
Gu Changsheng looked at the three of them, and the three of them looked at Gu Changsheng. After staring at each other for a few breaths, Gu Changsheng suddenly slapped the Golden Ancient Emperor.
"Ouch, Boss, why are you hitting me? I didn't say anything or do anything wrong!" The Golden Ancient Emperor looked at Gu Changsheng resentfully. If you want to hit me, find a place where no one is around. I'm afraid the brilliant and martial image in my disciples' hearts is gone.
"Hitting you is light. Where have you been these past few years? Your disciples don't even recognize me, their Martial Uncle. Do you think it's their fault or yours?" Gu Changsheng glared at the Golden Ancient Emperor.
"Boss, it's not my fault!" The Golden Ancient Emperor shouted, wronged.
"If it's not your fault, whose fault is it?" Gu Changsheng sneered. As your boss, you didn't even introduce me to your disciples when you took them in. Am I not presentable?
"Boss, look for yourself!"
After saying that, the Golden Ancient Emperor said to A'Wu and the other two, "Would you believe me if I said I was the brother of the Human Race Saint Emperor?"
"Believe!"
The three nodded, saying in unison.
"Boss, you heard that too. They... what, didn't you say you didn't believe it before?" The Golden Ancient Emperor suddenly reacted and looked at his three disciples in surprise.
"The past is the past, and now is now. Master, you often tell us not to be attached to the past, we must look to the future."
A'Wu said with a smile.
"You..." The Golden Ancient Emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Little girl, you're actually educating me in return?
Before the Ancient Emperor could speak, A'Wu and the other two kowtowed to Gu Changsheng in the air.
"Disciple A'San."
"Disciple A'Si."
"Disciple A'Wu!"
"Greetings, Saint Emperor Martial Uncle."
Saint Emperor was the respectful title of all races to Gu Changsheng, and Martial Uncle was their kinship.
"Good, good, good, get up, if your master dares to bully you in the future, tell me, and see if I beat him up." Gu Changsheng said with a chuckle.
"Hehe, thank you, Martial Uncle!"
A'Wu and the other three stood up with giggles.
The Golden Ancient Emperor said, "Boss, spoiling them so much will spoil them."
"Hmm? Are you saying I'll spoil them?" Gu Changsheng narrowed his eyes at the Golden Ancient Emperor.
The Golden Ancient Emperor was shocked. In dangerous times, being by the boss's side was the safest. In safe times, being by the boss's side was the most dangerous, especially when the boss narrowed his eyes. If he wasn't careful, he would have to fly several or even dozens of star fields away.
"Boss, why did you stop me from saving A'Xiong and A'Long just now?" In order not to fly, the Golden Ancient Emperor decisively used the topic transfer method.
This method was very successful.
I saw Gu Changsheng wave his hand, and a picture appeared in the void.
Several people looked at it. A'Wu and the other three didn't react much, but when the Golden Ancient Emperor saw countless demons heading towards the Demon Suppression Land like a pilgrimage, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
"Ten Thousand Demons Pilgrimage, a peerless demon is about to be born!"
The Golden Ancient Emperor said.
Gu Changsheng nodded. The Golden Ancient Emperor was right. A peerless demon was indeed about to be born in the Demon Suppression Land.
"But Boss, even if a peerless demon is born, it's just something we can erase with a single thought. Is it worth you coming in person?" The Golden Ancient Emperor asked speechlessly.
"Heh, I can erase it with a single thought, but you can't!" Gu Changsheng said with a chuckle.
"No way? Could it be that a celestial-level demon can be born?" The Golden Ancient Emperor said in disbelief.
"Rather than saying born, it's better to say revived!"
"Revived?" The Golden Ancient Emperor frowned.
"You'll know when you see it," Gu Changsheng said.
"But my disciples are still inside," the Golden Ancient Emperor said worriedly. If it was an ordinary peerless demon, he wouldn't be afraid, but if the Demon Suppression Land really suppressed a peerless demon as the legend said, and this demon was still alive, it must be a being beyond the Supreme Realm, which made him worry about A'Xiong and A'Long.
"Don't worry, would I harm my martial nephews?" Gu Changsheng said.
"That's not necessarily true, Boss, you're so ruthless to your disciples!" The Golden Ancient Emperor thought of Li Beifei and couldn't help but mutter.
"Ah!" The Golden Ancient Emperor suddenly turned into a stream of light and flew out of the Heavenly Barren Star.
"Looking for a beating!" Gu Changsheng shook his right foot.
"Martial Uncle, will my master be okay?" A'Wu asked.
"No, I just invited him to take a free one-way ticket to the cosmic frontier. He'll be back soon," Gu Changsheng shook his head and smiled.
"That's good!"
A'Wu and the other three breathed a sigh of relief.
Eh!
Suddenly, the three of them discovered something. A'San quietly said to A'Si and A'Wu, "Could it be that Master also fell from the sky like this back then?"
"Very likely!"
The two nodded, but they didn't feel sorry for their master. If the master hadn't said that sentence, he wouldn't have to take a one-way ticket to the cosmic frontier.
However, this changed their impression of Gu Changsheng a lot. At first, they thought that His Majesty the Saint Emperor should be high above, but now it seems that he would also be like them, would be angry and would hit people. This didn't make them feel that Gu Changsheng was difficult to get along with. On the contrary, they felt that Gu Changsheng was very easy to get along with.
"Martial Uncle, do you like to eat?" A'Si asked.
"Eat? Of course, food is the most important thing for the people, how can you not eat?" Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
A'Si's eyes lit up and said, "I didn't expect Martial Uncle to know this sentence too. Hmph, A'Wu A'San, I used to say that I was looking for an excuse to eat, did you hear that, Martial Uncle also knows this sentence."
A'Si looked at A'San and A'Wu with incomparable pride.
"Damn, I'm your third senior brother!" A'San curled his lips.
"Tch, Martial Uncle eats only for the sake of appetite, you eat only for the sake of gluttony, can it be the same?" A'Wu retorted.
"You don't care, anyway, Martial Uncle likes to eat, and I also like to eat, that's right." A'Si was a bit of a rascal.
Gu Changsheng looked at these little guys playing and making noise, and a smile appeared on his face.
Food is the most important thing for the people. If nothing unexpected happens, it was the first time this sentence was said in this world.
At this time, the core area of the Demon Suppression Land has gathered tens of billions of demons. They surround a mountain peak of unknown height. At the foot of the mountain, there are thousands of human races trapped here. The older ones are teenagers, and the youngest ones are even infants less than a few months old.
Their life aura is stable, but they have passed out.
At this time, a huge humanoid black shadow appeared. It exuded a terrifying aura. Looking at the countless demons around, it raised a black scepter in its hand, like an ancient god whispering, and then it spoke in human language!
"The Ancient Demon Revival Ceremony, officially begins!"
...
