"According to the Yuntai division, the palace here is divided into thirty-three floors. Could it be the legendary thirty-three heavens?"
Su Rui speculated secretly. This Heavenly Palace was like a towering mountain, soaring into the clouds, shrouded in mist, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling. Each layer of the cloud platform was like an independent world, with palaces standing in rows and fairy trees swaying, as if telling of its former glory.
Su Rui deliberately counted the cloud platforms on both sides of the Jade Avenue and asked again.
"It is indeed the thirty-third heaven!" Xiaotu's tone was filled with a hint of melancholy.
Su Rui didn't understand why Xiao Tu suddenly felt this way, but when he was about to ask, Xiao Tu spoke first, "Master, ever since we arrived here, a memory of the old Heavenly Court has suddenly emerged in my mind. This memory may have come from the spirit of the instrument before I was born. Through this memory, I learned that my original master was actually the most powerful being under the Lord of the Old Heavenly Court - the Great Emperor Zhongji Gou Chen!"
Hearing this name, Su Rui couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although he knew a little about myths and legends, he knew very little about the existence of Emperor Gou Chen.
Xiaotu continued, "After the connection between heaven and earth was established, the Lord of Heaven led the gods to the Earthly Immortal Realm. However, for unknown reasons, Emperor Gou Chen did not leave with them. Instead, he engaged in a battle with the Lord of Heaven. The battle was so fierce that the entire Heaven was shattered beyond recognition, becoming what it is today. Ultimately, Emperor Gou Chen tragically died and was reincarnated. My body was also severely damaged in that battle, and was beaten by the Lord of Heaven into the state you see today."
After hearing Xiaotu's words, Su Rui's eyes began to grow confused and uncertain. He slowly raised his head, gazing into the distance, as if lost in thought. He softly asked, "Could it be that... I am the reincarnation of the Gou Chen Emperor?"
However, the small picture's answer instantly relaxed Su Rui. It said, "You are not the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Gou Chen. After countless reincarnations, the Great Emperor's divinity has gradually faded away. You are merely one of the lucky ones chosen by the Great Emperor Gou Chen before he completely disappeared."
For some reason, hearing these words finally made Su Rui feel relieved. His biggest fear was being burdened with some inexplicable blood feud or a messy karmic retribution. Since he wasn't the reincarnation of Emperor Gou Chen, even if such karma befell him, he was confident he could find a way to escape it.
Then, Su Rui couldn't wait to ask, "Emperor Gou Chen chose me, so what kind of consequences do I need to bear? Do I need to avenge him?"
There was a hint of worry in his tone.
Xiaotu replied quietly, "There's no such request. He chose you simply to find a new master for me. If there's any causal relationship, then the one you need to bear is restoring me to my full health!"
"What is the relationship between the Pleiades star official behind the 'Golden Pupil of the Rabbit Sun' and the Great Emperor Gou Chen?" Su Rui asked again.
"The Pleiades Star Official was one of the few good friends of Emperor Gou Chen in the past! He did not take action when the two Immortal Emperors fought in the Heavenly Palace. He favors you this time, and I'm afraid he regards you as the reincarnation of Emperor Gou Chen!" Xiaotu responded.
