Tianji Pavilion——
The moment Gu Qingze stepped into Tianji Pavilion, it was as if he had entered a whole new world.
There is a mysterious atmosphere here, with ancient decorations intertwined with strange light, which makes people feel awe involuntarily.
He walked slowly deeper, and as he went deeper, the light around him gradually became softer, and a peaceful atmosphere enveloped him.
At the very end, a figure stood quietly.
The man's figure was a little blurry, as if blending into the surrounding environment, but Gu Qingze determined that he was the head of Tianji Pavilion at just one glance.
A strong intuition told him that this person exuded a unique aura, a depth and majesty that controlled countless secrets.
"You're finally here, Gu Qingze." The man said, his voice steady and powerful, as if he had been waiting for him here for many years.
Gu Qingze looked at him, his eyes as calm as water, without the slightest ripple. He stood there quietly, exuding a calm and unhurried temperament.
"I should have thought of it earlier. The master of Tianji Pavilion is the protector of this world." His voice was not loud, but full of determination.
"Yes." The man did not deny it, but admitted frankly, "Let me introduce myself again. I am the protector of this world - Feng Ying."
Feng Ying continued, "Congratulations, Gu Qingze. Not only did you successfully withstand my test, but you also arrived here safely. This proves that I was right about you."
Gu Qingze recalled the various experiences along the way and asked doubtfully, "Tests? Are you talking about the places Murong Jin took me to?"
"Not only that." Feng Ying shook his head gently, "From the moment you first stepped into this world, every choice and every action you made has been under my observation."
He paused, then added, "I can see that although your skills are still immature, the fact that you were able to pass these tests is enough to prove your potential."
Gu Qingze keenly grasped the key information: "You have long realized that I am not from this world, but an outsider."
"Of course, I know everything." Feng Ying's answer did not seem exaggerated, but more like stating an obvious fact.
Gu Qingze was silent for a moment, then looked at Feng Ying sharply: "So, as the protector of this world, what is the purpose of designing these tests?"
Feng Ying also stared at Gu Qingze and said slowly, "Gu Qingze, you are the only one who has truly achieved the leap from one small world to another among the multiple small worlds, and you did it without any external help."
"Because of this, you occupy a special place in my heart and are the one I like most among the many candidates I am considering." Feng Ying's words revealed his affirmation of Gu Qingze.
Gu Qingze asked curiously, "So, you set up these tests specifically to test my abilities?"
Feng Ying nodded, but then shook his head and explained, "That's not entirely true. I designed these tests out of helplessness. It's also the best method I could think of after weighing the pros and cons."
"Firstly, as you said, I do want to observe and test you in this way.
"Secondly, I hope you can do your utmost to improve your cultivation during these trials, the sooner the better. The pressure from the Heavenly Dao is increasing day by day, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to conceal your existence. Therefore, you must grow as quickly as possible before the Heavenly Dao discovers your uniqueness.
"Third, I want to see you as soon as possible. However, as a maintainer, I am subject to the influence of the world's laws. It is not easy to meet you and ensure that I am not discovered. Therefore, I chose this roundabout way.
"Of course, the last two points are particularly important. Otherwise, if it was just to test you, I could have chosen a safer method without taking such a huge risk, even choosing the Nether Spring.
"However, fortunately, you proved your ability and successfully escaped from the Nether Spring."
After Feng Ying mentioned the "Netherworld Spring," Gu Qingze's previously calm mood was slightly disturbed. He asked in a deep voice, "What if I died in there?"
"That's impossible." Feng Ying answered firmly, his tone full of confidence.
"Gu Qingze, I've said before that in my opinion, you are a special existence. I won't let you fall into danger easily, and I won't let you die like this."
"If your life is truly in danger in the Nether Spring, I will provide you with some assistance at the appropriate time."
"But if that happens, due to the intervention of my system, the Heavenly Dao of this world will be aware of your existence more quickly, and you will be in even greater danger."
"Fortunately, my judgment was correct. You relied on your own strength to successfully overcome all the tests, without giving me the slightest chance to attack."
After hearing this, for some reason, the subtle negative emotions in Gu Qingze's heart dissipated unconsciously.
"Feng Ying, I..." Gu Qingze just opened his mouth when he was gently interrupted by Feng Ying.
"Just call me Feng Ying. The title of maintainer is too formal and seems a bit strange and cold." Feng Ying said with a smile.
Gu Qingze nodded and continued, "Feng Ying, as the defender of this world, shouldn't you stand on the side of Heaven? Why are you helping an outsider like me hide my identity?"
Feng Ying answered seriously, "I've said it before. I value your abilities, so I hope you can join my faction. Before, it was because your strength wasn't enough, but now... you've fully proven yourself."
