Looking at the trolls in front of me who have turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.

The throbbing in Gu Changqing's heart intensified. He turned to look at the three people, Long Huo and the others, who were standing respectfully to the side. His eyes gradually turned cold as he looked at them.

Although the three noticed Gu Changqing's unusual behavior, they dared not act rashly. Not to mention that his cultivation level had improved greatly and his strength had increased, even when he was still in the Divine Void Realm, the three of them would not have dared to have any disrespectful thoughts.

He was simply too powerful. When he was at the Divine Void Realm, he destroyed a city with a single palm strike and killed someone at the Dao Ruins Realm. Now that he has advanced to the Dao Ruins Realm, wouldn't even a Dao Integration Realm expert be no match for him? Besides, he had just personally experienced the might of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder.

If you accidentally anger him...

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the three of them. They looked at each other, and then Long Huo forced a smile and cautiously said:

"The divine lord's appearance is truly unprecedented and unparalleled. At such a young age, he has already experienced the tribulation of the Dao Ruins and regarded the vast heavenly might as nothing. We have cultivated for many years and are still not even a fraction of the divine lord's level. Our hearts are filled with admiration. We hereby congratulate the divine lord, that he can expect to achieve the Dao and live a long life."

The other two immediately followed suit.

"We congratulate the Divine Lord, for your attainment of enlightenment is imminent and immortality is within reach."

However, Gu Changqing remained indifferent and unmoved by the compliments.

The three of them couldn't help but feel uneasy. Could it be that they had really done something to anger the other party?

Despite careful thought, they couldn't find a solution, and the atmosphere became tense and uneasy.

Only Long Huo was furious upon seeing this. He thought to himself that as a member of the dignified Heavenly Dragon Clan, below the Emperor and above all spirits, he had never suffered such humiliation.

Let alone a mere fellow clansman, even the Emperor's son, Long Tian, ​​had never humiliated him like this. If it weren't for the unfavorable timing and location today, and the threat of the tribulation lightning during the other party's breakthrough, he might have taught him a lesson about seniority and hierarchy today.

Thinking this, a sudden inspiration struck him. He secretly glanced at Gu Changqing and saw that he still had a cold expression. His eyes lit up and a plan came to mind.

He simply cupped his hands in greeting, maintaining his respectful and ingratiating expression.

"The Divine Lord broke through today, his power is unparalleled, and no race in the world can match him. This is truly a great fortune for our race. Before us, the Emperor attained enlightenment and suppressed all races."

"The establishment of the Heavenly Court and the setting of Heavenly Rules, coupled with the emergence of a Divine Lord who is impervious to tribulations, is an omen of our race's eternal destiny and the foundation of the Heavenly Court's eternal rule. Such great joy, I wonder if..."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "I wonder if we should immediately send a message to the Heavenly Court. If the Emperor learns of the Divine Lord's magnificent feat today, he will surely be overjoyed and announce it to the world. With the Divine Lord's charisma, he will surely become famous throughout the land and awe-inspiring in all directions."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Changqing, who still had a cold expression, and couldn't help but swallow.

In fact, what he said was full of malicious intent. If a person's talent surpasses that of others by a hundred years, he is called a genius and everyone will adore him; if a person's talent surpasses that of others by a thousand years, he is a monster. If he encounters a magnanimous superior, then everyone will respect him.

If a person's talent surpasses that of others by tens of thousands of years, or even becomes immeasurable, how can the mediocre people of this world tolerate it in comparison?

The world is bustling with activity, all driven by self-interest. Even an emperor, what then? He cannot escape the shackles of this pursuit of profit. Given Gu Changqing's demonstrated talent and abilities, and based on his understanding of the emperor over the years, he could only inwardly criticize him.

Long Huo saw it all clearly. Despite his usual respectful demeanor towards Gu Changqing, he was merely following the established rules.

He has lived for hundreds of years. He has talent and wisdom, and his natural abilities are no less than those of ordinary people. However, it is inevitable to be confused in life, and he is a person who knows how to hide his shortcomings.

In fact, it's not just him; how many people inside and outside the Heavenly Court are truly fools? The real fools wouldn't be alive now.

Under normal circumstances, Long Huo wouldn't be in such a hurry to reveal his sinister intentions; he would simply need to remain hidden and observe quietly.

He didn't care at all about Gu Changqing's fate. Maybe the other party had great luck and could really overcome all obstacles to stand out. If he kept a proper distance, he could even gain merit by following the dragon's lead.

Unexpectedly, although Gu Changqing was exceptionally talented, he was an absolute arrogance and knew nothing of human relationships. If he hadn't been so strong that no one could defeat him, he would have torn him apart and eaten his flesh long ago.

Thinking of this, Long Huo's anger intensified, and he wished he could immediately send the news back to the Heavenly Court and watch him be attacked, ravaged, and suppressed.

Then, with an air of superiority, he stomped on it again to vent his anger and resentment.

He wasn't worried that Gu Changqing would see through the hidden meaning in his words. Although he was extremely talented, he was still only twenty years old and his scheming and cunning were too immature, as could be seen from his usual behavior.

But is the reality really as he imagined?

In life, things rarely go as planned.

He would never understand that Gu Changqing's arrogance was not solely due to his unparalleled talent.

Long Huo's understanding of Gu Changqing was far too superficial. No, it should be said that everyone in the world who had ever interacted with him had a very superficial understanding of him, or even knew nothing at all.

No one had ever seen him smile, so they assumed he couldn't smile.

However, he not only couldn't laugh, he didn't possess even the slightest bit of extra emotion.

Gu Changqing slowly turned her head, her cold face and chilling gaze silently watching everyone.

A chilling, suffocating feeling, like being in an ice cave, suddenly filled the surrounding air. Everyone felt short of breath and their hearts raced, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"So it seems you haven't informed the Heavenly Court about this yet?"
