420: Chapter 418: Daoist Ziyuan, who barks like a dog, collects discarded items.

Gu Shengge stared indifferently at Dao Monarch Ziyuan. Only when the latter gradually became submissive did a trace of a smile appear on his face.

"Why ask when you already know? I have come to Molei Cliff; do you not know what I am after?"

Dao Monarch Ziyuan sighed, "You want that Opportunity to Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm? That heavenly creation pagoda?"

Gu Shengge shook his head, "No, what I want is that System!"

Whether the heavenly creation pagoda was a supreme treasure or something else, he wasn't very interested. What he truly cared about from beginning to end was only that System.

The pupils of Dao Monarch Ziyuan's remnant soul shrank slightly. He likely hadn't expected Gu Shengge to bring up the matter of the System so openly.

Looking at Gu Shengge's certain gaze, he said bitterly, "It's useless. The System won't see you. It remains in a deep slumber year-round. This heavenly creation pagoda is the Opportunity it left for future generations."

Gu Shengge was stunned for a moment. "You've actually seen the System?"

Dao Monarch Ziyuan's soul body fluctuated violently, appearing extremely unsettled. He probably hadn't expected that the other party didn't actually think he had seen the System and was just deliberately tricking him.

And him? He had actually blurted it out without any concealment.

Now that things had come to this, he no longer wanted to hide anything and said bitterly, "I have indeed seen it. Back then, following the legends, I once reached Molei Cliff..."

"I don't want to hear your stories. Take me to find that System," Gu Shengge said coldly.

Dao Monarch Ziyuan's expression darkened slightly, but he didn't have the courage to resist Gu Shengge. Only this tiny bit of remnant soul remained; if Gu Shengge attacked again, he would only perish here.

"Let's go. Enter that Black Tower," Dao Monarch Ziyuan said.

Gu Shengge stepped forward and reached the outside of the Black Tower. The tower's gate was not hidden and stood wide open, but the interior was pitch black and incredibly deep.

Gu Shengge, possessing the Double Pupils, was naturally fearless and stepped inside.

As he entered the Black Tower, the gate behind him slammed shut. The entire interior fell into darkness, with only Dao Monarch Ziyuan's remnant soul still flickering with a faint light.

"Bang!"

Gu Shengge opened his palm, and a ball of Spiritual Flame ignited, illuminating a six-foot area in front of him.

Seeing Gu Shengge's composed manner, Dao Monarch Ziyuan couldn't help but frown. "Gu Shengge, aren't you afraid that I've intentionally lured you in to perish together with me?"

Gu Shengge turned his eyes and glanced at him, his gaze filled with contempt.

"If you had that kind of courage, you couldn't have lived until now. From start to finish, you are someone who is afraid of death to the very core!"

"As long as you can survive, even if you were made to act like a dog, you wouldn't choose death."

Dao Monarch Ziyuan's soul body fluctuated, and his expression was extremely ugly.

Seeing him like this, a cold glint appeared in Gu Shengge's eyes. "Now, bark like a dog for me."

Killing intent flashed in his eyes as a powerful pressure instantly bore down on Dao Monarch Ziyuan. Dao Monarch Ziyuan felt his soul body suffering violent pressure, as if it were about to shatter.

He was furious to the extreme. Gu Shengge's humiliation was to test his loyalty, to prove his evaluation of him, and to see if he could truly go that far!

After several breaths of silence, a fawning smile appeared on his face. "Alright, Master. Woof... woof... woof woof woof..."

He barked more and more fluently, very consistently, and the imitation became more and more realistic.

Only then did Gu Shengge's expression soften.

"Not bad, not bad. If you can speak even less in the future, you'll definitely be a good dog."

"Now, tell this seat, where should we go?"

Gu Shengge's Double Pupils scanned the dark world, but he only saw a vast amount of complex Space Dao Principles.

This place was like a stacked space, with dense World Divine Runes piled up here.

Gu Shengge's understanding of the Great Dao of Space was extremely profound; given some time, he could sort out the Space Dao Principles piled up here.

However, there was no need, and he couldn't stay here for too long. Besides, if Dao Monarch Ziyuan couldn't be useful at this time, wouldn't keeping this dog be in vain?

Dao Monarch Ziyuan was also observing, and he didn't seem to understand much either.

"Black Tower, let us leave! You can't kill us, there's no need for this."

Gu Shengge couldn't help but reveal a look of doubt. Could this guy, Dao Monarch Ziyuan, really get the Black Tower to actively release them just by shouting a few words?

Just as he was about to criticize, the Black Tower suddenly vibrated, letting out a sound like thunder, as if responding to Dao Monarch Ziyuan.

This scene made even Gu Shengge find it somewhat hard to believe. He frowned and said, "What is this? What exactly is this Black Tower?"

As soon as he finished speaking, in the dark world, white lines like spirit snakes or flowing water snaked toward him, spreading all the way to his feet.

Gu Shengge scanned with his Double Pupils and saw clearly that those weren't lines at all, but highly concentrated spatial Dao runes. Inside, there was the Power of Ten Thousand Daos, like a collection of Small Worlds.

Just as Gu Shengge thought, the power of these highly concentrated Small Worlds burst forth with thick energy at his feet. The next moment, countless world phantoms were reflected in the dark world.

There were Minor Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and even some Major Thousand Worlds.

These world projections were like fruits on a massive ancient tree, swaying in the dark world.

Dao Monarch Ziyuan reminded, "We can now leave by way of these Middle Thousand Worlds or Minor Thousand Worlds."

Gu Shengge's gaze fixed on the Major Thousand Worlds, where countless dark shadows were gathered in worship, similar to the scenes they had seen before.

He also asked his question, "Why not go to the Major Thousand Worlds?"

Dao Monarch Ziyuan frowned and said, "Those areas are still within the control of the heavenly creation pagoda. After the heavenly creation pagoda has exiled us, it's impossible for it to let us go back. We can only take a detour through the Middle Thousand Worlds or Minor Thousand Worlds to return to Molei Cliff."

Gu Shengge was stunned. It turned out that after entering the heavenly creation pagoda, he had been exiled to other worlds.

He had thought he was still beneath the ice plains of Molei Cliff!

Gu Shengge looked at those Middle Thousand Worlds and Minor Thousand Worlds, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "From what you're saying, the heavenly creation pagoda is already unable to control these Middle Thousand Worlds and Minor Thousand Worlds, right?"

Dao Monarch Ziyuan nodded. "That's right. The heavenly creation pagoda has existed for too long, and its power has declined. It is no longer able to control these massive world Systems. But why are you asking this?"

Gu Shengge grinned. "Since the heavenly creation pagoda doesn't plan to keep them anyway, rather than letting these worlds go to waste here, why don't I take them?"

Gu Shengge communicated with the World Tree at the center of the Taichu Great World, letting it grow a branch to carry these drifting Middle Thousand Worlds and Minor Thousand Worlds. This was much faster than natural derivation or creating them himself.(End of Chapter)
