179: Crowned Son of God, calculating soft bun
The next day.
The Grand Ceremony for the Anointment of the Divine Children was attended by almost all top immortal orthodoxies from the All Heavens Myriad Realms.
Moreover, among those leading teams to offer congratulations, there were many from the Saint Realm and Divine Fire Realm.
The momentum was grand, with myriad races coming to pay respects.
Of course, those in the Saint Realm and Divine Fire Realm held transcendent statuses; logically, they wouldn't attend any celebrations.
The reason they came was mostly for Jiang Yu and Zhi Meng, just to catch a glimpse of the Peerless Twins' divine beauty.
If they could win the favor of the goddesses and discuss the Great Dao together, they would have no regrets in this life.
Jiang Yu and Zhi Meng sat on the divine thrones, one on each side, their figures ethereal, their aura sacred and inviolable, like peerless goddesses transcending the world.
"Noisy!" Zhi Meng listened to the telepathic messages in her ears, her cold and indifferent eyes shooting out two blades of light, instantly obliterating a Saint Realm expert into nothingness.
Saint blood scattered, and silence immediately fell.
The Grand Elder, who was reciting the sacrificial oration, paused.
The entire hall was silent, everyone holding their breath.
Everyone's pupils constricted as they stared in disbelief at the scattered saint blood, their hearts filled with shock.
Dead.
A Saint, who surveyed heaven and earth and was said to be able to live as long as the sun and moon, was dead.
Everyone's faces turned pale, their hearts filled with terror, fearing that Zhi Meng, in a fit of rage, might unleash a divine ability and take them all with her.
Jiang Yu's full, red lips curved into a smile, her furrowed brows slowly relaxing.
The noise in her ears also quieted down.
Indeed, Zhi Meng had countless flaws, but when it came to persistent suitors, Zhi Meng was a professional.
"Divine Fire Realm triple cultivation, truly ruthless," Lin Xuan sat below, dressed in snow-white robes, his expression calm.
Seeing Zhi Meng kill without a word, Lin Xuan was shocked, but also revealed deep-seated hatred in his eyes.
He had truly been blind back then, falling in love with Zhi Meng and insisting on marrying no one else.
It led to the extermination of his family, the tragic deaths of his two younger sisters, and his own demise.
Such a blood feud was irreconcilable.
"Sisters, Father, Mother, rest assured, I will definitely kill Zhi Meng to avenge you," Lin Xuan secretly vowed in his heart, his gaze towards Zhi Meng cold and indifferent.
It was as if he was looking at a dead person.
No matter how beautiful Zhi Meng was, she could no longer stir any ripples in his heart.
He now only wanted revenge; he only wanted Zhi Meng to pay her blood debt.
"Whew!"
Lin Xuan let out a long breath, withdrew his gaze, and looked at Luo Rou beside him, a gentle and amiable smile immediately appearing on his face.
"Rou'er, when did you come to the Star God Temple? Why didn't you tell me? Are you still angry with me?" As he said the last sentence, Lin Xuan gave a self-deprecating bitter smile.
He had truly been blind to hurt Luo Rou for Zhi Meng.
Although he didn't love Luo Rou and had always treated her like a sister, his annulment of their engagement to marry someone else had subjected Luo Rou to endless cold stares and ridicule.
It had deeply hurt Luo Rou.
The little girl who once had eyes only for him now seemed like a stranger when they met again.
This was all his fault.
Lin Xuan was filled with regret, secretly vowing in his heart that he would make it up to Luo Rou in this life and never let her suffer any more harm.
"No, no."
Luo Rou shook her head in a panic, not daring to look at Lin Xuan, her intelligent, beautiful eyes darting around.
"Master," Lin Chuqing squeezed her hand, signaling her not to be nervous.
Lin Xuan looked at Lin Chuqing, his heart burning with eagerness.
Nine-star talent.
Lin Chuqing's physique and luck were even slightly higher than Liu Ruyan, who also possessed nine-star talent.
If he could take Lin Chuqing as a disciple, the system rewards would definitely explode, allowing him to surpass Zhi Meng and Jiang Yu in one fell swoop.
Lin Chuqing was the key to his revenge.
As for poaching Luo Rou's disciple, which was unethical...
Sorry, Lin Xuan hadn't really considered it.
His mind was now entirely focused on how to trick Lin Chuqing into becoming his disciple, then receive rewards, and counter-kill his enemies.
"Please, Divine Children, ascend the platform to be bestowed..."
The Grand Elder's expression was solemn as he finished a long passage of sacrificial oration, then loudly invited Gu Qing and Su Qingyue.
Gu Qing and Su Qingyue seemed to have come from the endless starry sky, treading on the Starlight Avenue, like deities reaching for the moon in the nine heavens.
The anointment ceremony was very complicated.
Various sacrifices to heaven, vows, and so on—the entire process took three hours.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and no one dared to cause trouble.
Even Lin Xuan didn't act up.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather that he had no reason to cause trouble.
He watched Gu Qing with an indifferent gaze throughout.
"Senior Brother is so handsome!"
Looking at the incomparably handsome Gu Qing, Xiao Hongdou felt that her world could no longer hold anything else; it was entirely filled with Gu Qing's image.
"Hongdou, be more reserved," Liao Qi said, exasperated.
She never expected that the usually timid and weak Xiao Hongdou was actually a hidden fanatic.
"Reserved? What reserved are you talking about?"
Xiao Hongdou rolled her eyes.
Who understands, my family?
She, a nobody who worked hard for a few thousand yuan in living expenses, transmigrated overnight to become a true disciple of the Star God Temple, with boundless prospects.
And she had a senior brother who was devastatingly handsome and generous.
You tell her to be reserved, how can she be reserved?
She couldn't be reserved at all, okay?
What's wrong with girls who don't smoke, drink, or gamble, but like a little bit of lewdness?
Xiao Hongdou's expression was excited; she felt that her life had already reached its peak.
"Junior Sister."
Bai Suying helplessly tugged at her sleeve.
Xiao Hongdou pursed her pink lips, her passion like a bucket of cold water had been poured over it, her expression wilting.
How could such a perfect Senior Brother already have a Dao Companion? Annoying.
"What are you doing? Sit down!"
Zhi Meng grabbed Jiang Yu, who was about to stand up, and was the first to arrive at the high platform.
She placed the Divine Child's crown on Gu Qing's head.
Then she placed one on Su Qingyue's head.
"Good disciples, the future of the Star God Temple is now in your hands," a trace of a smile appeared on Zhi Meng's aloof and cold face, a smile of breathtaking beauty.
It left Zhi Meng's admirers stunned.
They had known Zhi Meng for so many years and had never seen her smile.
They had thought that Zhi Meng would never smile in this life, that she was a cold-blooded, emotionless goddess.
Of course, perhaps the situations in which they saw Zhi Meng were a bit off.
Every time they saw Zhi Meng, she was either killing someone or on her way to kill someone.
"Damn it..." Lin Xuan's eyes blazed with fire.
Clearly, Zhi Meng had never given him a smile either.
Even when he fought against the whole world for Zhi Meng and offered his heart, Zhi Meng remained cold and indifferent.
Lin Xuan could accept that Zhi Meng was a cold-blooded demoness without emotions, but he could not accept that Zhi Meng had feelings for another man.
"Gu Divine Child is simply a darling of heaven and earth..."
The prodigies who came to observe the ceremony looked at the incomparably handsome Gu Qing, their envy and jealousy so strong it felt like their cell walls were splitting.
Gu Qing could be said to possess both talent and status.
He had supreme status, unparalleled talent, a smooth and bright path to the Dao, destined to become a god and ascend, and was accompanied by peerless goddesses.
What was even more infuriating was that the goddesses, who usually wouldn't even spare them a glance, were now gazing at Gu Qing with infatuation.
How could they not be envious, jealous, and hateful?
Many prodigies and evildoers looked at Gu Qing with hostility, eager to challenge him.
They wanted to make Gu Qing lose face under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
After all, they were also proud prodigies and evildoers who were unrivaled on the continent, so they naturally wouldn't think they were inferior to Gu Qing.
But then they remembered that Gu Qing could easily defeat even a Venerable Realm peak expert.
If they lost, would Gu Qing let them go?
They weren't afraid of losing; they were afraid of Gu Qing's ruthlessness and his intent to kill.
If Gu Qing didn't spare them, they would truly die, their bodies and Dao disappearing, countless efforts turning to dust.
Even their sects wouldn't be able to save them.
After the Divine Children's Grand Ceremony ended, the two came and sat beside Zhi Meng.
Next was the Saintess Grand Ceremony.
Jiang Yu personally officiated, crowning Liu Ruyan with the Saintess's crown.
The entire process went very smoothly, so smoothly that Gu Qing somewhat doubted whether the Lin Xuan in front of him was a fake.
After all, Lin Xuan was the protagonist.
How could a protagonist not cause trouble or act up?
Even if the matter had nothing to do with the protagonist, the protagonist would still butt in and forcibly shift the center of the matter to himself.
Gu Qing was already prepared.
As long as Lin Xuan made a sound, he would publicly turn hostile, use the momentum, and completely eliminate Lin Xuan.
"Heh!"
Lin Xuan met Gu Qing's gaze, saw the doubt in Gu Qing's eyes, and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
He saw through Gu Qing's trick at a glance.
Gu Qing actually fantasized about him causing trouble at the Divine Children's Grand Ceremony; it was a pipe dream.
Endure, endure, he must endure.
Lin Xuan deeply understood the way of the 'Gou Dao' (lying low), that low-key development was the kingly way.
He couldn't contend with the Star God Temple yet; if he stood out to accuse Gu Qing, he would likely be besieged and killed by all the experts of the Star God Temple.
Gu Qing's brows furrowed.
Lin Xuan actually chickened out, wanting to lie low and develop steadily.
Lin Xuan had a disciple-recruitment system; if he wasn't careful, Lin Xuan could become invincible.
There's no such thing as being on guard against a thief for a thousand days, but a thief can only steal for a thousand days.
He couldn't constantly prevent Lin Xuan from recruiting disciples.
Therefore, eliminating Lin Xuan was imperative and could not be delayed.
Thinking this, Gu Qing's gaze fell on Luo Rou.
Seeing Gu Qing look at her, Luo Rou returned a faint smile, her lips not parting, like a well-bred young lady, her posture quiet and elegant.
Her clear, pure eyes were filled with the light of wisdom.
She looked quite intimidating.
Gu Qing's mouth twitched; calculating against a naive, soft-hearted girl still gave him a sense of guilt.
But not much.
