(Part 1)

The Fengyu Fan that descended in front of Hou Chi was suddenly held in place by a big hand that appeared in the void. Then it was suddenly swept away and turned into a fierce attacking shooting towards the Heavenly Empress. The colorful spiritual light slowly condensed under the immortals' exclamations. The Heavenly Empress took in the blow and was forced to take a few steps back. With the Heavenly Emperor's help, she stood steadily and looked at the torn part of the sky, her pair of beautiful eyes filled with shock and resentment.

She never thought that Gu Jun, who had disappeared for nearly ten thousand years, would suddenly appear, and even reprimanded her in such a reckless manner in front of the immortals.

A strong aura appeared around Qinglong Platform, wrapping the entire curtain of thunder and lightning. Now, no matter the person, no one could break the barrier and bother Qing Mu, who was undergoing the tribulation.

Hearing this voice, a few wisps of delight appeared on Hou Chi's face, but she raised her eyebrows and turned her head fiercely, not looking at the figure in the sky.

Don't think that I'll forgive you for leaving me alone in Qingchi Palace for ten thousand years just because you appeared at the right time!

Accompanied by the disappearing coercion of the Heavenly Empress's five-colored spiritual power, the impetuous figure undergoing the tribulation in the middle of Qinglong Platform also settled down again. The Taicang Spear made a cheerful sound. Its red light shook and shot towards the Profound Thunder descending from the Nine Heavens.

In the shattered void, a figure appeared without warning. Anyone could have guessed the coming person's identity from the arrogant and dry words just now, so the immortal lords standing to the sides rubbed their eyes, and all raised their eyes to look at the man.

What a rare scene! The Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Empress, God Gu Jun...have been entangled in fate for tens of thousands of years. Although no one dared mention it, there was no immortal who dared to pat their chest and say, 'I don't anticipate the reunion of these three people at all!'

Since the wedding of the Heavenly Emperor and Empress on Kunlun Mountain, God Gu Jun rarely appeared in front of people. The most mysterious but strongest man in the Three Realms who had been wearing a green hat [1] for tens of thousands of years. Everyone wanted to know what he looked like. After all, even the power of a god couldn't put out the burning hearts of gossip, right?

But...the burning eyes of everyone gradually turned into surprise under the clear face of the coming person. Many immortal lords simply closed their mouths and nodded with a tacit understanding. It was no wonder the Heavenly Empress chose the Heavenly Emperor back then!

However, some of the old immortal lords who had seen God Gu Jun on Kunlun Mountain opened their mouths, and trembled and pointed their fingers at the person in the air as if they couldn't close their mouths, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Who could tell them that God Gu Jun on Kunlun Mountain had a dignified posture, handsome face, and majestic body...how ahs he turned into a shriveled, gray, sloppy, wretched...old man! This was only ten thousand years!

The power of a god was enough to bless the Nine Continents and live forever, but you used it on yourself eh! Almost everyone lowered their heads and sighed in their hearts.

As the saying goes, the disappointment was as big as the expectation. That massive warning made the immortals' expectation of God Gu Jun reach a difficult-to-climb peak, so when the reality reversed to this, everyone felt like they were being choked.

Sitting in the void, God Gu Jun raised his legs and glanced at the Heavenly Empress and Heavenly Emperor. He calmly threw down some spiritual power on Hou Chi, and seeing her look warmer, he said lazily to the Heavenly Emperor, "Mu Guang, you are the ruler of the Three Realms. You promised me that you would protect Hou Chi within the Three Realms. Now, Wu Huan is attacking those of a younger generation, ignoring statuses. If you just stand aside and not care, how can you be considered a person who keeps his promises?"

A faint ridicule replaced the greeting, and the Heavenly Emperor's face slightly changed. He glanced at Qing Mu and Hou Chi and said, "Gu Jun, I didn't think well about this matter. You..."

"Gu Jun, Qing Mu possesses demon power. Once he finishes enduring the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, it will be a great disaster for my Immortal Realm. Why should I not take action? What qualification do you have to blame the Heavenly Emperor?" It seemed like she had recovered from the shock of God Gu Jun's sudden appearance. The Heavenly Empress looked at God Gu Jun with a complicated expression, and interrupted the Heavenly Emperor's words.

"What do the disputes between immortals and demons have to do with me? And besides, the Heavenly Emperor is the ruler of the Three Realms. I am talking to him. Wu Huan, you're a grown woman, stop interrupting!" The old man with raised eyebrows didn't even look at the Heavenly Empress, and said this with curled lips under everyone's eyes filled with disbelief.

Grown woman? All the immortal lords present dared to say that in their thousands of tens of thousands of years of living, there was absolutely no sentence that was more powerful than these two words! [2]

If the person who said this was not God Gu Jun, everyone could only say that the person had courage. But looking at the possibly dizzy God Gu Jun and the Heavenly Empress whose lips were trembling with anger, all the immortals backed up a few steps, secretly giving a big thumbs up to Go Gu Jun, sighing: You are really courageous in not a normal way!

There was a cold snort. God Gu Jun saw that Hou Chi's mouth was drawn into a line, and he hurriedly put down his improper legs, grabbed his hair, and anxiously said to her, "Daughter, you are my dear treasure, don't compare yourself with ordinary people, we can't lose this!"

The pretentious voice came into her ears, and even Hou Chi couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth this time. The hands that had been clenched slowly loosened...

"Really ruthless." Feng Ran whispered, looking at the silly old man with admiration. She landed on the ground with satisfaction, no longer intervening in the scene in front of her.

It wasn't that she couldn't intervene, but she completely believed that God Gu Jun's mouth was enough to stop thousands of soldiers!

Immortals had always been dignified and self-sufficient. No one had heard such harsh and effective offensive words. Everyone looked at God Gu Jun hanging in the air. After looking at each other, they turned their heads to look at the Heavenly Emperor and Empress.

"Gu Jun, even if Wu Huan didn't deal with this properly, it is too much for you to speak like this." The Heavenly Emperor was slightly annoyed, and he walked in front of the Heavenly Empress, his eyes flashing like electricity with a hint of anger.

Even though he was the one sorry to Gu Jun from the beginning, Wu Huan was his wife after all. As the Heavenly Empress, how could he let him insult her at will?

"Mu Guang, you are very interesting. In order to save your son, Qing Mu suffered from the dragon breath. Your daughter was willing to use her dragon pellet to return the grace so that no one owed the other. But Wu Huan used this reason to force him to stay in the Heavenly Palace, making his only choice to use the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder to take out the dragon pellet. Now, Wu Huan wants to take his life just because of a ray of demon light. I want to ask, are the lives of the Heavenly Palace princes the only lives, and the lives of other immortals are worthless?"

God Gu Jun asked slowly, leaving the Heavenly Emperor speech and unable to answer for a while.

Although God Gu Jun didn't say his words nicely, his words were reasonable. He was biased, so he really had nothing to say.

Jing Jian stood to the side with a face full of shame. He hurriedly bowed and said, "God, Jing Jian made a huge mistake. Qing Mu suffered the pain of the thunder tribulation because of my selfishness. I am willing to be punished."

Gu Jun glanced at him, then waved his hand, his eyes slanted, "Forget it, you're the only rather good one in your family. I, old man I am won't argue with you."

At the time of unspeakable suffocation, the colorful spiritual power became disordered in the surrounding space. An irritable aura gradually spread from the Heavenly Empress, who seemed to be extremely angry. The Heavenly Empress looked at God Gu Jun and suddenly laughed, her expression was indescribable and disdainful. She glanced at Hou Chi coldly, then laid eyes on God Gu Jun once again.

Seeing her look like this, Gu Jun secret wondered if this arrogant and domineering phoenix was pissed at him. But just don't say anything that shouldn't be said. He glanced at the Heavenly Empress with a slight warning, and a solemn look appeared on the cynical face.

"Gu Jun, what's wrong with me keeping Qing Mu in the Heavenly Palace? Jing Zhao is a little too arrogant, but in the end, she is also a princess of the Nine Heavens and has a noble identity. At least she's tens of millions of times better than Hou Chi who has an unknown mother."

The corners of the Heavenly Empress's mouth were smiling, but her words were as sharp and cold as a blade. She looked at Gu Jun's suddenly darkening face, with an indescribable good feeling.

No one knew better than her how important Hou Chi was to Gu Jun. Paying attention to the fact that he would rather deceive the world and give her an identity above the Three Realms, if she hadn't left Qingchi Palace and married Mu Guang back then, then Gu Jun would have never broken into Kunlun Mountain to obtain Hou Chi's god position. After all, having both parents as gods made Hou Chi as noble as them.

The Heavenly Empress's voice was lingering and seemed particularly clear in the empty Heavenly Palace, but looking at God Gu Jun full of anger, no immortal dared to exhale.

Unknown mother? Everyone knew that the little god in Qingchi Palace that God Gu Jun loved was born from the Heavenly Empress. How could she have an unknown mother? However...anyone in the world could be joking if they said this, but the Heavenly Empress wouldn't.

(Part 2)

Ten thousand years ago, when the little god was inside the egg, she was not liked by her mother, and this was known by the entire Three Realms. In the end, is this the reason? The Heavenly Empress did not give birth to Goddess Hou Chi, which was why she was abandoned. Then the Heavenly Empress betraying God Gu Jun that year...was not entirely incomprehensible.

The entire square fell into a deathly silence. The Heavenly Emperor looked at the smiling Heavenly Empress in a daze, faintly noticing that something was wrong. Gu Jun was definitely not someone to betray his wife. If Hou Chi was not born from Wu Huan, then it could only prove that Gu Jun did not like Wu Huan from the beginning and that they even were never together. But he never declined Wu Huan's interest towards him, could it be for...Thinking of everything Gu Jun did on Kunlun Mountain, he looked at the unequally uncertain Hou Chi outside Qinglong Platform with a complicated face, his heart full of shock.

Was it just to give Hou Chi an identity that could never be criticized by the Three Realms?

Jing Zhao and Jing Jian, who were standing on the ground, were equally stunned, only one held a bit of hate in the surprise, and the other held pity in the confusion.

In the very quiet and strange atmosphere, the Heavenly Empress was the only one with a smile as she fixedly looked at God Gu Jun who was hanging in the air.

The incomparably majestic coercion slowly spread from the figure. God Gu Jun straightened his body, looking at the expression-changing Hou Chi. The hand behind his back was slowly clenched. The anger on the old face disappeared like a spectacle, and there was undisguised killing intent in his eyes. He looked at the Heavenly Empress and slightly narrowed his eyes, "Wu Huan, we made a promise at the beginning. Now that you have broken your promise, I hope you have the confidence to bear all the consequences."

The Heavenly Empress's face slightly changed color, but she still looked at God Gu Jun coldly with her head held high. Although her face held a what-can-you-do-to-me look, there was a touch of invisible terror under her eyes.

Gu Jun's god power was above hers and Mu Guang's. If he really meant what he said, it wasn't impossible for him to kill her.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at the two sides both with swords drawn. His heart slightly sank, and he sighed a 'not good'. He was about to speak but was interrupted by a particularly refreshing laugh.

At this kind of moment, the laughter indeed did not fit the time very well, especially the person who let out the laugh. Even God Gu Jun looked at the figure outside Qinglong Platform in a daze, his eyes full of pain. This child...is the blow too much for her...

"Old man, is what she said true?" Hou Chi looked at God Gu Jun with an unclear expression. She raised her hand to the sky, pointed at the Heavenly Empress, and said.

God Gu Jun's expression turned sullen. He quickly nodded, looked extremely carefully at Hou Chi, and plainly said, "Hou Chi, father isn't..."

"Okay." Hou Chi decisively interrupted the log story that God Gu Jun had prepared. She raised her eyebrows, her indifferent face showing a refreshing vigor, "I originally thought that you wouldn't do any good things in this life, it seems like I have underestimated you. Old man, for the sake that this matter has made me very happy, we'll forget about you leaving me in Qingchi Palace!"

Gu Jun stared blankly at Hou Chi, whose eyes were shining and unpretending, and said carefully, "Hou Chi, you're not angry?"

Unknown mother...it would be hard for anyone to accept this, so even if Wu Huan became the Heavenly Empress, he didn't tell her the truth.

"Why does it matter? Since my mother is unknown, it's tens of millions of times better than now. Old man, you have been so deadheaded! And besides, I'm a god and already have a stable identity in the Three Realms, I don't need other things to embellish it." Hou Chi raised her hand in a positive manner and smiled without looking at the flushed Heavenly Empress.

Looking at the boastful and poignant Hou Chi, God Gu Jun put his heart in his throat back where it belonged and quickly responded, "You are very right, father was muddle-headed."

With a flattering appearance, there wasn't even the slightest air of the fierce god just now.

Feeling that this scene was a little too strange, and after all, these were just some past events from the beginning and wouldn't be the best to talk about them in front of everyone, the Heavenly Emperor coughed and said, "Everyone, take a step back. Gu Jun, don't pry into these past events. After Qing Mu finishes his thunder tribulation, you guys can just return to Qingchi Palace."

The Heavenly Empress wrinkled her eyebrows and was about to oppose, but was stunned by the bitter eyes the Heavenly Emperor swept over her. She pursed her lips and said, "Up to you, but the last four strikes of sky thunder are extremely powerful. Whether he can come out alive is still unknown."

The conversations just now were too messy and with God Gu Jun's spiritual power around Qinglong Platform, everyone ignored the continuous thunder. After the Heavenly Empress mentioned this, all the immortals turned their heads and looked at Qinglong Platform.

There, the red Taicang Spear faintly whitened. It was extremely difficult for it to hang above Qing Mu's head, but the blood-red figure was completely shrouded by a golden spiritual power and was blurred.

The last four lightning bolts gathered in the sky above Qinglong Platform with a force of ten thousand soldiers. The sky and ground completely changed color and the whole world was completely darkened, except for the particularly bright golden light.

The guardian phoenix that had fallen to the ground suddenly called out and flew into the air. Outside Qinglong Platform, it drew a round symbol around the curtain of lightning and thunder, which seemed to be a faint barrier.

The Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Empress, and God Gu Jun looked at the last four strikes of the thunder tribulation that were about to come, then at the ground full of kneeling immortal deities outside Qinglong Platform, and were shocked.

The Nine Heavens Profound Thunder that could promote one to a true god was indeed not something ordinary. Just the power of the thunder could give them the resonance of surrender. If they weren't high gods, they wouldn't have any resistance at all.

But what was strange was that Hou Chi was still standing outside Qinglong Platform, as if she felt nothing. Gu Jun seemed to find nothing peculiar about it. The Heavenly Emperor and Empress glanced at her, suppressing the strangeness and shock in their hearts.

The four strikes of lightning connected in the sky to become a vast expanse, turning into the shape of a spear. If one looked closely, it was somewhat similar to the Taicang Spear. In an instant, the light blue thunder and lightning hit the pure gold color and gradually combined with the golden figure in the light-filled curtain.

Looking at this magnificent scene, everyone's eyes were full of admiration. Eighty-one strikes of Profound Thunder had never appeared in the post-ancient world and was unexpectedly strange and shocking.

The shadow of the golden spear slowly stopped in the sky above Qinglong Platform, echoing with the Taicang Spear from a distance. With the wave of his hand and a long howl, he took the initiative to attract the Profound Thunder in the air.

Boom...boom...

With a rumble, the entire Immortal Realm was shaken. Even the Demon Realm that was thousands of kilometers away felt it. The formation guarding the realm was shattered, and the bright and sunny Mortal Realm suddenly darkened.

Seemingly in a breath of time, the mountains slumped, the rivers changed their courses, tens of thousands of beasts started their worshipping, and the Four Seas bellowed.

The strange scene happening in the Three Realms plunged the entire world into a short and dead silence.

On Qinglong Platform, there was a crisp bang. It seemed like the barrier of the thunder curtain was finally broken.

A golden light pierced the light, and the Three Realms instantly restored its brightness and tranquility.

Everything within one hundred meters of Qinglong Platform was shattered, leaving only a lonely platform floating in the void.

On the platform, the blood-red figure had his back to the immortals, seeming ethereal but eternal in the world.

The magnificent and powerful spiritual power spread to every corner of the Three Realms, and then instantly turned into nothingness.

The Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Tribulation was actually successful! Almost every immortal who saw this scene sighed with disbelief.

Hou Chi fixedly looked at the red figure on Qinglong Platform. Her breathing suddenly became very slow, and her eyes slowly turned red.

The man turned around, and the golden eyes looking at Hou Chi seemed to carry the softest warmth in the world.
