"Um?"
"Who is this old man? Is he also from the Heavenly Palace?"
Upon seeing the white-haired old man who suddenly appeared, many people in the hall had a look of doubt in their eyes. They had seen the Nine Venerables of the Heavenly Palace before... but this was the first time they had seen this white-haired old man.
"he…"
"I'm afraid he's... the master of the Nine Heavenly Venerables."
On the side.
The God of Reincarnation frowned slightly, looked at the white-haired old man, and after a moment of silence, said in a deep voice.
"The Heavenly Palace... the master of the Nine Venerables!?"
Upon hearing this...
Everyone's eyes lit up, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them!
To become the master of the Nine Venerables of the Heavenly Palace, his strength must be very strong, right?
"hehe."
“I can’t say I’m your master, or rather… the guide to the Celestial God Body.” The white-haired old man chuckled, shook the folding fan in his hand, and then looked at Ning Tian, saying with a light smile, “Fellow Daoist Ning, it’s been a long time.”
"Um?"
Ning Tian frowned slightly, looking at the completely unfamiliar white-haired old man. After thinking for a moment, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted: "So it's you. Should I call you the dead fortune teller? Or Chen Gejiang, or perhaps the master of the Nine Venerables of the Heavenly Palace?"
"Ha ha."
"Whatever Fellow Daoist Ning likes is fine. Whether it's Chen Gejiang or the fortune teller, they were all incarnations I left behind in the Nine Domains, and they are also a part of me." The white-haired old man laughed heartily, waving his folding fan.
That's right.
He is Chen Gejiang of the Nine Realms.
Or rather...
Chen Gejiang... is only a part of him.
As the guide of the Celestial God Body, he naturally needs to exist in part within the Nine Realms. After all, the Celestial God Body is random; it may be born in the Divine Realm or in the Nine Realms. His true self is guided in the Divine Realm, while his avatar is guided in the Nine Realms.
Therefore, Chen Gejiang is the master of the Nine Venerables of the Heavenly Palace, and the master of the Nine Venerables of the Heavenly Palace is Chen Gejiang.
There is no difference between the two.
"Then let's just call you 'Dead Fortune Teller'. It's easier to say, and it feels more intimate. I'm too lazy to change it."
Ning Tian said calmly.
"I'm glad you like it, Fellow Daoist Ning."
Chen Gejiang waved his folding fan and chuckled softly.
Seeing this scene, the Reincarnation God and the others couldn't help but feel a little strange. The Ancestor was also a member of the Heavenly Palace, and Chen Gejiang was the master of the Nine Venerables of the Heavenly Palace, the founder of the Heavenly Palace. Why did he show some respect to the Ancestor?
"Gentlemen."
"I never said that I was the founder of the Heavenly Palace, nor was I the master of the Nine Venerables of the Heavenly Palace. I was just a mere guide."
And just then...
As if he could read everyone's mind, Chen Gejiang gently shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a light laugh.
"Um?"
"He can actually hear our thoughts?"
Qin Pang and the others were taken aback.
"That's simple. This fortune teller is probably a fifth-level Ancient God, so it's incredibly easy for him to tell us. Maybe... he's even a Primordial Ancient God." Ning Tian said casually, not at all surprised.
"Ha ha."
"Fellow Daoist Ning is joking. Becoming a Primordial Ancient God is not something anyone can do. There are only three Primordial Ancient Gods in the entire Tianxuan."
Chen Gejiang shook his head.
"oh?"
"Those three?"
Ning Tian raised an eyebrow, showing interest.
"First, the creator of the Ancient God Cloud Atlas."
"Second, the originator of the dark turmoil."
"As for the third one... I can't say more, after all, it's a secret of heaven."
Chen Gejiang waved his folding fan, looking mysterious, and said with a light laugh.
"Oh? You really won't tell me?"
Ning Tian narrowed his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Ning... you should put down your fist first. Even if you beat me up again, I can't say anything about this." Chen Gejiang glanced silently at Ning Tian's quietly raised fist and said helplessly.
Seeing this, Ning Tian had no choice but to give up.
I just didn't expect...
There are only three innate ancient gods in this Heavenly Mystery, and two of them are connected to events that are relatively familiar to us: one is behind the Ancient God Cloud Map, and the other is in the Dark Turmoil.
I am afraid…
This primordial ancient god should be a manifestation of the void.
Ancient gods born in the primordial state are definitely more difficult to deal with than those born in the primordial state; it is also a very troublesome matter.
"so…"
"Why did the final battle come so quickly? The seal... wasn't it still intact?"
Ning Tian frowned and looked at Chen Gejiang seriously.
"Although the seal has not been destroyed, the power within it can no longer suppress the Dark Turmoil. The current power of the Dark Turmoil is no longer something that can be suppressed by the power of a single Celestial Body."
"Only in the final battle, by combining this power and reaching its perfect peak, will it be possible to suppress it!"
"so…"
"The final battle has to come sooner than expected."
Chen Gejiang shook his head and sighed. He had no desire to see this happen either. But... there was no other way; it had come to this point.
Upon hearing this...
Ning Tian frowned deeply, and his face looked unusually pale.
It seems that the reason why the Nine Heavenly Palace Venerables have not appeared in the past year is because the dark and turbulent forces in the Bloodstained Yellow Sand Land have strengthened, which is why they have been delayed for so long!
"Grandmaster..."
"What exactly is the final battle? Why do you all look so grim when you mention it?"
On the side.
The Void God Emperor frowned and asked with a solemn expression.
"The final battle..."
"That is... a narrow escape from death."
Ning Tian murmured to himself.
"Nine...nine out of ten chances of survival?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening, gasped, and their pupils contracted sharply!
The Nine Heavenly Venerables plus the Patriarch make ten people!
And what does "nine deaths and one life" mean? Doesn't that mean that out of these ten people... only one can survive?
"hiss…"
Why do this?
Inside the main hall, everyone was puzzled by this behavior. They naturally did not want to see such a thing happen. No matter who died, it would be a great loss and a tragedy!
Faced with the doubts of the crowd, the nine Heavenly Palace Venerables remained silent, and this silence represented a sense of helplessness.
"because…"
Just as everyone was silent, Ye Shuang spoke calmly.
She looked at everyone, scanned the crowd, and finally her gaze landed on Ning Tian. Her red lips moved slightly: "If you want to save people, there must be sacrifices. Nothing is perfect, just like no one is perfect."
"sacrifice…"
"But this sacrifice is too much."
In response to this...
The people inside the hall still couldn't understand it.
They didn't want their patriarch to die, nor did they want the nine celestial beings of the Heavenly Palace to die.
Hearing Ye Shuang's words, Ning Tian remained silent. He knew what Ye Shuang meant: their sacrifice could save Ning Tian, and what followed was a kind of salvation.
"call…"
"Then please, everyone... just as I said before, die by my hand."
Ning Tian let out a long sigh, looked at the Nine Venerables of the Heavenly Palace, and uttered the words he had once spoken.
