370: Chapter 368: The journey to Tianming ends

Gu Shengge didn't speak. Since Nangong Jinglan had brought out a System core containing the energy of a Lord of Systems, this matter definitely wasn't simple, not to mention the incredibly outlandish task she wanted him to do.

If he were to guide the Heaven and Earth Will of the Old Era into the current world, would it have an irreversible impact on the current Heaven and Earth?

At that time, if living beings suffered, he would have to bear the blame. This matter was very difficult... Nangong Jinglan saw his hesitation and smiled: "Hehe, it's fine if you don't agree now. I can still give you this System core."

Nangong Jinglan sent the System core to Gu Shengge, but Gu Shengge shook his head: "Never mind, I won't accept a reward without merit. Take it back."

Gu Shengge did not accept it. After all, it would involve bearing immense Karma, and he was unwilling to get entangled.

Nangong Jinglan was quite surprised by his demeanor.

"Along the way, I've seen you resort to every trick in the book, not even letting go of half a System remnant. Yet now you can resist the temptation of a Lord of Systems core. That truly exceeds my expectations."

Gu Shengge shrugged: "If your strength were a bit weaker, I might have tried, but right now, I just want to leave. As for what you want me to do, I'm truly sorry, but I'm afraid I can't do it, as I don't know what the situation will be like then."

Nangong Jinglan nodded: "Alright, I actually appreciate you very much. The System Race passes down its Legacy through its own rules. Countless Systems form an incredibly vast and ancient Legacy. Since ancient times, they have been a top and powerful race! As for the Human Race, almost every living being starts from scratch. How difficult is the Dao-seeking path?"

She seemed very emotional, frowning as she said: "And there are almost no beings who can contend with Systems. The System Race even uses manipulating the Human Race's Chosen Ones as a cultivation method. Our Human Race's Chosen Ones unwittingly become their slaves and servants. Those like you, who can slay Systems and even face high-level Systems without fear, are truly rare."

Gu Shengge remained silent, looking at her with confusion, not understanding why she was saying all this.

Nangong Jinglan was silent for a moment, then grinned: "So, I'll still give you this Lord of Systems core. One day, when you achieve Dao Integration or Mahayana, we will most likely meet again. By then, you will certainly not refuse me."

Gu Shengge's power of destiny could see through others' fates, but his own future was chaotic and blurry, impossible to probe.

He looked at the Lord of Systems core that Nangong Jinglan had placed before him: "I might not choose to help you. You should think carefully."

Nangong Jinglan directly defended, disdainfully saying: "It doesn't matter if you don't help. Anyway, this thing is useless to me, so just take it."

This time, Gu Shengge didn't act coy. He directly put it into the jade disc of creation in his Dantian and slowly began to refine it.

After accepting the Lord of Systems core, Gu Shengge cupped his hands and said: "Senior, I accidentally entered this place, and because I had an agreement with an old friend to take away a corpse, now that everything is done, can you let me leave?"

Gu Shengge felt that every inch of this Sky Burial Underworld was probably under Nangong Jinglan's control, and if he wanted to leave, he still had to ask her.

Nangong Jinglan raised her hand, and a divine rainbow shot out from before him, piercing through the clouds, vast and invisible.

"This is the passage to leave this world. Step onto the divine rainbow now and leave." Nangong Jinglan was carefree and frank, seemingly unconcerned about Gu Shengge's refusal.

Gu Shengge said nothing more, stepped onto the divine rainbow, turned around, and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Senior. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely give Senior an answer. I hope that answer will satisfy you then."

Gu Shengge quickly moved away on the divine rainbow, while Nangong Jinglan's figure became smaller and smaller, more and more blurry, finally disappearing at the end of the divine rainbow.

Gu Shengge only retracted his gaze when he could no longer see Nangong Jinglan. It wasn't that he was reluctant, but that he was worried that the woman might go crazy again and drag him back.

After Gu Shengge left, Nangong Jinglan lay back in her coffin. She formed a hand seal, took out something like a flame, and it landed in her hand, light as a feather, drifting in the wind.

"Lord Seven Mysteries, how have you been?" Nangong Jinglan's lips curved in a sneer.

"Nangong Jinglan, that was a battle Puppet, and this is merely an Incarnation of my System. If I were here in person, would you still dare to be so arrogant?"

Nangong Jinglan scoffed: "Then come! I'll still drag you into the coffin."

The remnant System fire of Lord Seven Mysteries flickered violently, and he said coldly: "Remember, when I come in person, I will take your dog life!"

"I'll be waiting!" Nangong Jinglan exerted force, and Lord Seven Mysteries' last system law was annihilated, completely collapsing.

Of course, it wasn't King of Seven Profound who died. Lord Seven Mysteries, strictly speaking, was just one of his System Clones, the same existence as her battle Puppet.

Inside the grand hall, peace gradually returned. All the lights extinguished, the coffin lid closed by itself, and everything reverted to how it was before Gu Shengge arrived, utterly silent.

At this moment, Gu Shengge stood on the divine rainbow, being rapidly teleported away. The divine rainbow's speed was incredibly fast, with the whistling wind in his ears and the scenery below rushing past.

Along the way, Gu Shengge was surveying the mountains and rivers of the Sky Burial Underworld. Apart from the most dangerous central area and the direction facing the Qiongsang Domain and the Central Heaven Star Region, it didn't seem so perilous.

In some areas, Gu Shengge could even see rampant Vicious Beasts and gigantic spiritual plants. These were not ordinary spiritual plants; they were ancient and massive, containing the Law of the Great Dao, estimated to be at least at the Dao Integration level.

Gu Shengge was alarmed by what he saw and grew even more worried about Nangong Jinglan's proposal. There were more experts here than just her. If they were to come into contact with the Qiongsang Domain or other great domains, it would likely be a devastating blow to the living beings of those domains.

Nangong Jinglan directly sent him to the edge of the Sky Burial Underworld. There were no obstacles along the way; it was unimpeded.

When Gu Shengge landed outside the Sky Burial Underworld, he even felt a bit unreal, that he had truly come out. Before, he and Lord Seven Mysteries had expended so much effort and paid so many prices without being able to leave, yet in the end, he was actually sent out by the entity of the Sky Burial Underworld... Gu Shengge looked back at the Sky Burial Underworld, let out a long breath, turned, and strode away.

Next, he had to return to the Qiongsang Domain to send back the Master of Xuantian Pavilion's son's bones, and then... it had been a long time since he left, it was time to go back and see. (End of this chapter)
