There’s actually someone!

An ordinary person! A mere human!

Who could make the Circle of Confinement formed by the Nine-Layer Heavens Thunder Punishment tremble violently!

Gu Changsheng merely shouted once!

Merely shouted once!

Wasn’t the promise of the Nine-Layer Heavens as the Godslaying Punishment? Yet you tremble before a mere human? How can the gods who perished under this Nine-Layer Godslaying Punishment face this?

The Manman Bug couldn’t imagine why, when Gu Taitian had trouble, Gu Changsheng, under great distress, could erupt with such power...

In its insect consciousness, this was completely inconceivable!

Too strange!

Utterly bizarre, leaving an insect staring in disbelief!

"Why must you push me to this? I just want to live! To live without retreating! Why? Why?" At this moment, Gu Changsheng continued to shout passionately!

A blood-red imperial robe, embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, exuding awe-inspiring majesty!

The garments fluttered in the wind, rustling fiercely!

Her ink-black long hair spun and twirled behind her, dancing in the wind!

It simply made people feel subdued!

Making them feel an unstoppable, relentless force moving forward!

Zhou Mu watched the seemingly mad Gu Changsheng with a hint of stupor, feeling an increasingly strong sense of foreboding!

Instinctively, Zhou Mu knew that the Manman Bug whispering Gu Taitian’s name wasn’t accidental, nor was Gu Changsheng’s tearful outcry a coincidence...

Gu Taitian, his father-in-law, something happened to him!

This realization instantly left Zhou Mu stunned!

Something happened to his father-in-law!

His father-in-law!

Gu Changsheng’s concern for those around her, Zhou Mu understands more clearly than anyone!

In the battle of the Secluded Valley, she unleashed the Red Lotus Karma Fire to protect those behind her at all costs, seeking to perish with Fufeng Tianlan, just to ensure no harm came to those around her!

But now, Gu Taitian, one of the people Gu Changsheng cared about most, has something happened!

This sudden realization caused a momentary panic deep in Zhou Mu’s eyes!

What will happen to his Changsheng?

What’s happened, although unforeseen, is irreversible, but what will happen to his Changsheng? Losing her birth father, she...

Zhou Mu suddenly dared not imagine!

While the Manman Bug was now even more horrified...

Because, being cold-blooded and unfamiliar with worldly emotions, it remained detached, yet at this moment, from its detached stance, it clearly saw the Circle of Confinement formed by the Nine-Layer Thunder Lightning Fire faintly showing signs of disintegration under Gu Changsheng’s rampant aura!

This...

This is simply appalling!

Could it be that Gu Changsheng, with her ordinary human body, can truly withstand the Godslaying Punishment designed to forge a True God?

This is impossible!

This is completely impossible!

Even with the fall of the Ancient Wilderness, even if the Insect God Manman fell to a remnant of Divine Breath, even if the Ancient Wilderness resurfaces and everything is reversed, the Manman Bug does not believe this could be true!

No, it doesn’t believe!

This challenges the limits of an insect’s understanding way too much!

At the same time, the expressions of both old and young from the Hidden World Clan here were filled with fear, and truthfully, they didn’t really understand what was happening?

However, they witnessed the truth, which was that Gu Changsheng, originally about to collapse, suddenly seemed to resurrect like a miracle and stand up!

Not only did she stand up, but she showed signs of breaking through, quite terrifyingly!

A moment ago, the Manman Bug’s words were not very clear, but vaguely, it was perceived that the Nine-Layer Heavens Thunder Punishment was not something ordinary people could endure, yet...

Yet Gu Changsheng stood up!

"What exactly happened?"

"Gu Changsheng has been calling out for her father? Gu Changsheng’s father? The Lord of the Southern Country?"

"Did something unexpected happen? Could it be that blood-stained longsword that just flew in..."

"No matter what happened, judging by the situation, it seems things are going bad!"

"..."

The Elders of the Hidden World Clan openly speculated, their hearts trembling in rhythm with Gu Changsheng’s actions...

Rumor among mankind has it that Gu Changsheng’s nature can be considered solid!

But that’s only relatively speaking!

There were also tales of Gu Changsheng unflinchingly slaughtering an entire family, legends of Gu Changsheng using blood to wash tens of thousands of troops at Hengtang’s frying pot...

Forget Gu Changsheng sweeping through the Southern Border, demolishing Southern Chen...

And the Dugu Clan right before their eyes!

Each account, each matter, was like a deafening thunderstorm pounding the hearts of those present!

If Gu Changsheng could successfully advance to become a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm under this Nine-Layer Heavens Thunder Punishment...

The consequences are unimaginable for those from the Hidden World Clan present!

Ultimately, it’s not good at all!

As everyone watched, faces full of uncertainty, all eyes focused on the suffering, temporary loss of the imperial robe-wearing woman in the center of the platform, two figures swiftly swept out from the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion...

The pitch-black night, at this moment, was slowly blooming with light...

On the platform, the light fire of the Nine-Layer Heavens Thunder Punishment still swirled menacingly...

The pitch-black sky seemed to be gently drawn open by an invisible hand, slowly revealing a shaft of sunlight, then two shafts of sunlight...

At the moment the sunlight appeared, the oppressive black clouds suddenly burst into brightness...

In this brilliance, a figure clad in red imperial robes, with dragons soaring and phoenixes dancing, knelt on the ground, her long hair fluttering and spiraling, unbearably beautiful. Around her, streaks of thunderous lightning fire wantonly ravaged, yet she seemed to pay no heed to them, as row upon row of blood tears insistently fell, staining the ground near her in an instant with a blood-red hue...

"Daddy! Daddy! What exactly happened..."

The sound pierced the ear, like weeping and lamenting, causing anyone who heard it to involuntarily feel heartbroken!

Beneath the platform, due to the sky clearing, some of the fear dissipated among the onlooking citizens, tens of thousands of eyes all turned towards Gu Changsheng’s direction, seeing her in such magnificent imperial robes, yet kneeling and crying aloud...

"The Southern Emperor... What’s happening to her?"

"Could it be that the Southern Emperor is too happy, as she will soon pass this ordeal?"

They were too far away to hear clearly, but they saw clearly that the Southern Emperor, who had been on the brink of death, now regained consciousness!

This made them feel fortunate!

"But something feels off, how could she be so sorrowful if she’s crying tears of joy? Looks like she lost her parents at home?"

"What ill words are you babbling about! Is there anyone who would curse the Southern Emperor like that? The Southern Emperor being unharmed is an exemption from a future disaster for all of us in the realm!"

"Indeed, indeed! If the Southern Emperor is unharmed, the realm can prosper greatly, if the Southern Emperor..."

"..."

"Hey! Who’s here stepping on my head?"

"Who stepped on my back?"

"..."

The originally chatting crowd suddenly gasped from far and near!

They crouched on the ground out of fear of the thundering lightning, yet someone treated them like nothing, brazenly walking over their heads...

This...

"In a rush to reincarnate! Dare to step on us!"

A rather ill-tempered person immediately raised his head and roared, but in the blink of an eye, his expression froze, and the words following in his mouth couldn’t be uttered anymore!

Dark red!

Dark red robes!

Two figures! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Swiftly flashed past him, both wearing dark red robes!

Dark red robes were the attire of the Dark Night Army under the Southern Emperor...

And at this moment, on the platform, Gu Changsheng who was originally crying aloud, suddenly raised her head, Phoenix Eyes teary and misty, looking at the two figures approaching from afar, her bright small face carried a trace of bewilderment and emptiness...

"Han Qiu, Xiao Cui..."

They came!

They actually came!

They indeed came!

These two, having stayed by her side the longest, Gu Changsheng was most assured sending them...

Sent to serve in front of her daddy!

Yet now, after her heart-wrenching agony, Gu Changsheng actually saw the two figures coming frantically from the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion...

Her numb bright small face, hollow eyes, Gu Changsheng’s face still bore traces of tears, slowly shaking her head...

"No... don’t..."

Don’t come over!

Don’t come over!

At this moment, those Gu Changsheng least wanted to see were Han Qiu and Xiao Cui!

They, they ought to be serving in front of her daddy, not appearing before her eyes!

They should be waiting at her daddy’s door, attending to her daddy’s daily needs...

Their arrival would only prove one thing...

That her intuition earlier wasn’t unfounded but true!

Their arrival would only confirm her conjecture!

Her daddy...

Indeed, something happened...

Her heart felt like it was being tightly clenched by an invisible big hand, suppressing Gu Changsheng’s breathing, making her breath become urgent...

Her hand covered the unbearably aching chest, Gu Changsheng shook her head! Shaking her head again!

Don’t come over!

Don’t come over!

She refused!

Refused any existence approaching the truth!

Even if she’s already intuitively aware!

Yet, she still refused!

Her daddy...

In this instant, Gu Changsheng felt the surrounding air seemed to be extracted, and herself, like a fish out of water, with Han Qiu and Xiao Cui’s rushing figures undoubtedly adding insult to injury...

"Changsheng!"

Behind Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu, whose body was full of blood, upon seeing Gu Changsheng like this, anxiously called out.

"Wife!"

At this moment, Han Qiu and Xiao Cui’s figures had also navigated through the throng before the platform and leapt onto the platform, faces full of sorrow, bending knees and kneeling at the edge of the platform...
