"Gu Yu, the most urgent thing is not to worry about how she knew, but what to do?" Mo Shougui said. If they wanted to hand it over, Gu Yu would die, so they absolutely could not hand it over.

"It's alright. Even if they all come, they won't be able to break the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation," Gu Yu said.

“Why don’t you come with me to the Holy Capital!” Mo Shougui said after thinking for a moment. “With the protection of the Ancestor’s corpse, they can’t get in. I think it’s much safer than here.”

"The corpse of the Ancestor of Humanity?" Gu Yu's expression changed drastically upon hearing Mo Shougui's words. The Ancestor of Humanity was actually dead...

"I can't go to the Holy Capital with you." Gu Yu abruptly refused Mo Shougui. At this moment, Gu Yu was increasingly uneasy. Fu Xing said he was the servant of the Human Ancestor. Didn't he know that the Human Ancestor was dead? Since he was a servant, he would know more or less. Also, Xu Ling'er suddenly became the Ice Phoenix Emperor. Fu Xing should know that he had the Source Heart Fragment. So, if the Ice Phoenix Emperor knew, it was very likely that Fu Xing told him. But if Fu Xing wanted the Source Heart Fragment, he could have just killed him. He couldn't understand it. This Fu Xing definitely had a big problem.

This made him even more reluctant to go to the capital; he felt that only Mo City was the safest place for him at the moment.

"Why?" Mo Shougui asked, puzzled.

“There’s a conspiracy,” Gu Yu said.

"A conspiracy?" Mo Shougui frowned.

"Anyway, I absolutely cannot go to the capital. My top priority is to recover from my injuries as soon as possible." After saying this, Gu Yu disappeared.

Mo Gugui was left with a head full of questions.

At this very moment, a shocking piece of news spread: Gu Yu possessed a fragment of the Origin Heart, which immediately stirred up countless races.

In just half a month, many powerful figures emerged around Mo City. If it weren't for some formations, they probably would have broken into the city directly.

Looking at the surrounding races, Gu Yu felt a pang of melancholy.

Although the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation is powerful, can it withstand an attack from countless powerful individuals?

These guys will do anything for the Source Core.

"Gu Yu, what should we do now?" Bai Long, Long Aotian, Chi Long, Jin Long, Hua Long, Zi Long, and many other high-ranking officials from Mo Cheng gathered together and asked Gu Yu.

"If it really comes to that, I will have no choice but to die. You must protect Mo City and our loved ones," Gu Yu said in a heavy voice.

“You shouldn’t have saved them back then. You should have let Wuzhiqi kill them all, and things wouldn’t be like this now,” Bailong said, looking at Gu Yu.

Hearing Bai Long's words, Gu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yes! Not long ago, I saved them from Wuzhiqi's clutches, and now they've come to take my life so quickly. It's really ironic!

At this moment, Shuimo stood outside, looking at the formation of Mo City with a furrowed brow. With all these people, it would probably not be so easy to break the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation! It would be very difficult for a single Great Emperor like itself to do so.

Just then, the figures of the Ice Phoenix Emperor and the Azure Phoenix Emperor appeared instantly.

The Ice Phoenix Emperor also looked at the great formation of Mo City, and her brows furrowed.

"Ice Phoenix Emperor, do you have a way to break the formation?" Shui Mo asked the Ice Phoenix Emperor.

"The only way to break this formation is through a strong attack," the Ice Phoenix Emperor said calmly. "Everyone needs to join in."

"This formation is so powerful that if we all attack together, we will likely suffer heavy casualties," Shui Mo said.

"Isn't it good for some to die? The more people die, the fewer opponents we'll have to compete for the Origin Heart Fragment later," the Ice Phoenix Emperor said coldly.

Upon hearing the words of the Ice Phoenix Emperor, Shui Mo's pupils contracted.

Everyone used to say this woman was pure and noble, but no one expected her to be so ruthless. However, what she said makes sense.

"Gentlemen, although we are all competitors, you must understand that if this formation is not broken, none of us will be able to obtain the Origin Core Fragment. Therefore, we need to temporarily unite, break the formation first, and then compete for the Origin Core Fragment," Shui Mo said to the powerful figures.

But none of them were fools. If the formation was broken, would there be any need to fight over the Origin Heart Fragment? Who among them could be a match for the Ice Phoenix Emperor and Shui Mo? It was precisely because of the formation that they had the opportunity to seize it.

"It seems we should take the lead." Shui Mo said to the Ice Phoenix Emperor, looking at the unmoved powerful figures.

"I'll go first." Without hesitation, the Ice Phoenix Emperor headed towards Mo City, her white flames causing the surrounding space to burn intensely.

As soon as she stepped into the formation, a dazzling golden light instantly spread out.

The Ice Phoenix Emperor's body suddenly stiffened. The power of the Qiankun God-Slaying Array exceeded her expectations, but precisely because of this, she could feel much more at ease.

"Phoenix Spreads Across the Plains." An awe-inspiring aura suddenly emanated from the Ice Phoenix Emperor, and countless white phoenix flames transformed into countless ice phoenixes, sweeping towards the Desert City.

At that moment, the people in Mocheng felt as if they were witnessing the end of the world.

Gu Yu's figure instantly appeared above Mo City. He looked at the countless white ice phoenixes, and with a flick of his hand, countless golden energies transformed into crescent blades to meet the ice phoenixes.

Boom boom boom...

Energy ripples radiated outwards, humming incessantly, yet they did not affect Mocheng in the slightest.

“Even if you are no longer Ling’er, you still can’t act like this, can you?” Gu Yu said coldly to the Ice Phoenix Emperor.

“I did intend to let you go, but it’s a pity you have the Origin Heart Fragment. However, if you are willing to hand it over directly, I can still let you go, and even save your life,” the Ice Phoenix Emperor said to Gu Yu.

“Hehe…” Gu Yu looked at the Ice Phoenix Emperor and sneered, “Even if I gave you the Source Heart Fragment, you still wouldn’t be able to become the Thirteen Cones. If I could, I would have already done it.”

“A single fragment is certainly not enough, but if we collect them all, it will be possible,” said the Ice Phoenix Emperor.

“Even if we collect them all, it won’t work,” Gu Yu said. If it did work, Gan would already have thirteen cones, and besides, Gan said that the Source Heart was a conspiracy.

"Enough with the nonsense, hand over the Source Heart." The Ice Phoenix Emperor's face turned cold, and phoenix flames swept towards Gu Yu.

“Within the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation, you are no match for me.” After Gu Yu finished speaking, he waved his hand, and countless densely packed binding runes appeared, completely isolating the sweeping phoenix flames.

"Why aren't you making a move?" Emperor Ice Phoenix said to the powerful figures behind him who had not yet entered the formation.

Qingluan and Shuimo hesitated for a moment, then instantly stepped into the formation, followed by the other powerful figures.

“I saved you from Wuzhiqi’s clutches a few days ago,” Gu Yu said, looking at the assembled experts. “You are repaying kindness with enmity.”

“Gu Yu, we heard it clearly that day. You are the successor of the Demon Ancestor, so killing you is doing justice for Heaven,” Shui Mo said coldly.

"Acting on behalf of Heaven?" Gu Yu's face showed a mocking expression when he heard Shui Mo's words. "Heh... What a fine 'Acting on behalf of Heaven'! Today I'll stand right here and see who among you can kill me?"

"Break the formation!" Shui Mo shouted to the powerful figures.

"Heaven and Earth Slay Gods, Ten Directions Annihilation." Gu Yu waved his hand, and the entire Godslaying Heaven and Earth Formation was fully activated. With several high-grade source stone mines providing energy, Gu Yu was not afraid of consumption at all.

Golden energy instantly swept towards the powerful figures. Even though they exerted all their strength, they still felt suppressed. The power of the Qiankun God-Slaying Array completely exceeded their expectations.

boom…………

In an instant, half of the powerful figures coughed up blood.

"Killing me won't be that easy," Gu Yu said coldly.

Then countless crescent-shaped golden blades condensed and swept towards the powerful figures like a torrential rain. In just a moment, more than a dozen True Gods and several True Monarchs were killed.

Even the Heavenly King sensed the danger, but only the three Great Emperors were able to calmly resist.

"What a powerful formation." Shui Mo's expression changed drastically. He originally thought that breaking the formation by gathering the strength of all the powerful figures would not be a problem, but now the problem was much bigger.

"Let's retreat!" one of the Heavenly Kings shouted immediately. If this continued, it would be disastrous; apart from the three Great Emperors, they would all perish there.

"Retreat." The Ice Phoenix Emperor frowned. She also knew that the Qiankun God-Slaying Array could not be broken.

As the powerful figures retreated, Gu Yu hovered in the void. Although he was only at the peak of True God, he was far more terrifying than a peak Emperor at this moment.

"What should we do? We can't break the Qiankun God-Slaying Array?" Shuimo asked the Ice Phoenix Emperor.

"I have a plan," said the Ice Phoenix Emperor.

"What method?" All the powerful figures gathered around, feeling helpless, and were very interested in the Ice Phoenix Emperor's method.

"Gu Yu, if you don't come out, we will slaughter all humans," the Ice Phoenix Emperor said to Gu Yu.

“You…” Gu Yu’s expression changed upon hearing the words of the Ice Phoenix Emperor.

“Gu Yu, we will tell those humans who were killed that they were slaughtered because of you,” the Ice Phoenix Emperor added.

"Ice Phoenix Emperor, I will not let you go." Gu Yu looked at the Ice Phoenix Emperor and said coldly.

"Hehe..." The Ice Phoenix Emperor sneered, "Slaughter the city, but don't kill them all. Capture more humans and bring them here so they can beg Gu Yu for mercy."

"Good idea." Shui Mo smiled broadly upon hearing the words of the Ice Phoenix Emperor.

Immediately, the powerful figures left one after another. Several hours passed, and they captured many humans. In the sky above Mo City, many projections appeared, showing various parts of China. In the images, ruins were everywhere, and countless humans knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Listen, it's not us who want your lives, but your God of War. He has no intention of saving you," the Ice Phoenix Emperor said calmly.

"God of War?" Upon hearing these two words, everyone raised their heads and looked at Gu Yu. Ever since they learned about the Source Gate, there had always been one person among humanity who was invincible and had become a hero and pillar of strength in everyone's hearts.

Even at this moment, they all hoped that the God of War would appear and save them.

"Please, your God of War, make him hand over what doesn't belong to him, and I will release you," the Ice Phoenix Emperor continued.

"God of War, please save us, save us!" Countless people began to kowtow and beg.

Gu Yu's face was grim at this moment. What difference was there between this and being roasted over a fire? It could be said that this was the target of everyone's criticism.

If he doesn't stand up today, he will likely become the greatest sinner, or even the enemy of mankind, as long as humanity survives.

That's just how things are sometimes. If there were a massacre today, their descendants would hate Gu Yu because Gu Yu was the one who stood by and did not save them.

Meanwhile, many people in Mo City were also eager to take advantage of this scene.

There's an interesting experiment: if a person knows seven people, it's equivalent to knowing everyone in the world. If a person has seven friends, those seven friends also have relatives and friends, and their relatives and friends also have relatives and friends. If this continues, then you'll know everyone in the world.

At this moment, these people had relatives and friends outside, which made them all look at Gu Yu, waiting for his decision.

"Despicable and shameless!" Bai Long and the other high-ranking officials in Mo City cursed angrily.

Unable to break the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation, and unable to defeat Gu Yu, they resorted to such despicable means.

"Ice Phoenix Emperor, do you know what the price is for handing over the Source Heart?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the Ice Phoenix Emperor.

"What?" The Ice Phoenix Emperor frowned.

“Even a fragment of the Source Core is beyond our reach. So only if I die will the fragment of the Source Core leave my body automatically and be obtained by you,” Gu Yu said.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the Ice Phoenix Emperor was clearly taken aback.

Those who were begging Gu Yu to hand over the fragments of the Origin Heart were also taken aback; this was something no one had expected.

"Nonsense! To avoid saving them, they fabricate such lies. How utterly hypocritical!" Shui Mo said, noticing that the Ice Phoenix Emperor seemed a bit off. Then, with a wave of its hand, people were instantly killed in various projections.

"God of War, please save us, please!" The pleading voices rang out, and the people in Mo City were in an uproar.

Seeing this, Gu Yu sighed. The Source Heart Fragment, something he didn't even know how it came to be in his body, had become his death warrant.

Should he not save them? Isn't it worth sacrificing one person to save everyone? He was very reluctant. Just as he was making his decision, countless sharp arrows suddenly swept out, projecting everywhere in an instant, and those powerful figures fell one by one.

"I told you, you saved them, and one day they will kill you." A figure appeared instantly, and a terrifying pressure immediately spread out.

Shui Mo's expression, as well as the expressions of the other powerful figures, changed drastically.

"Wu Zhiqi?" Shui Mo exclaimed in horror, "Run!"

The next second, all the powerful figures fled in panic.

"How boring, a bunch of cowardly bastards, trying to coerce others." Wuzhiqi watched the fleeing powerful figures but did not chase after them; its gaze turned to Gu Yu.

You owe me a favor.

"Thank you, I will remember it." Gu Yu said, cupping his hands in thanks. Who would have thought that Wu Zhiqi would break the deadlock?

"No need for thanks, tsk tsk... You have so many secrets, even the fragment of the Source Heart is on you." Wuzhiqi said to Gu Yu, "But it's just one fragment, not enough. You can't escape anyway, take me to find the Demon Ancestor."

"It's inside the Kunlun Source Gate." Upon hearing Wu Zhiqi's words, Gu Yu immediately replied. It really was like escaping the wolf's mouth only to fall into the tiger's mouth.

“The power of gods and demons is too strong; I cannot enter it,” Wuzhiqi said. “You’d better listen to me; I really will slaughter the entire human race.”

Upon hearing Wu Zhiqi's words, Gu Yu, who had been at a loss, immediately smiled, because he saw the Snow Woman.

A chilling aura emanated from the air, causing Wuzhiqi's body to stiffen instantly.

"Wuzhiqi," the Snow Woman called out to Wuzhiqi.

Wuzhiqi stood frozen in place, then its pupils contracted and it vanished instantly.

"Wuzhiqi, what exactly do you mean?" Xue Nu asked, watching Wuzhiqi disappear. The next second, she also vanished.

Gu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Snow Woman and Wuzhiqi disappear.

The crisis was over once again, but now that the matter of the Source Heart has been exposed, and the powerful Source Gate has not yet been opened, it is impossible for him to break through his cultivation in a short period of time. This feeling makes Gu Yu very uncomfortable.

"Damn Wuzhiqi!" Shuimo and the other powerful figures were all cursing at this moment.

Wu Zhiqi was fleeing at a rapid pace when he suddenly stopped.

As a peak-level Emperor, it had no chance of shaking off the Snow Maiden, who was also at the peak-level Emperor.

"Was it that kid who brought you out?" Wu Zhiqi said in a deep voice.

"I figured it out myself," the Snow Woman replied. "Monkey, you're already an emperor, why don't you go back to me?"

“I’m not strong enough, you know that! In the eyes of the Ancestral Realm, we are all just pawns,” Wuzhiqi replied. “And I want to become the strongest being in the world.”

"Become the strongest in the world?" Upon hearing Wuzhiqi's words, Xue Nu frowned. "Then when will you become the strongest? There is no strongest in this world, only stronger."

"As long as I obtain the Pulse of Creation and the Source Heart, I will become the strongest, and the world will be mine," Wuzhiqi said, looking at the Snow Maiden.

“You can do these things too, if we’re together,” the Snow Woman said after a moment’s hesitation.

"No, romantic feelings will only affect me," Wuzhiqi said. "Snow Maiden, this world is too dangerous for you. You should go back!"

"You've been lying to me all along, haven't you?" The Snow Woman's expression turned ugly upon hearing Wu Zhiqi's words.

“That’s right, I was lying to you so I could learn your techniques and break through my cultivation level. Come to think of it, you’re really stupid,” Wuzhiqi said.

Upon hearing Wuzhiqi's words, Xue Nu felt as if her heart had died, and she stood there dumbfounded.

"Don't follow me anymore." Seeing the Snow Woman's heartbroken expression, Wuzhiqi turned and left.

At that moment, a dazzling light suddenly shone in the sky above Central China, and waves of comfortable energy emanated from it.

Everyone unconsciously looked up at the sky, where a point of light was expanding at an extremely fast speed, making it seem as if two suns had appeared in the sky, but it was not hot.

"My people! Without the protection of the Heavenly Court, you must be having a terrible time! But rest assured, I will be able to protect you again soon." A voice resounded from the light screen.
