Chapter 279 [278] Eternal Peace! (Finale)

Nanhuang Temple.

Gu Zheng walked leisurely inside the tall stone tower.

The guards at the entrance, the messengers and servants of God whom he met in the passage, all seemed to be unable to see him.

“No one’s here?”

As he walked, he took pictures of every corner of the stone tower and Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

The Lord of the Southern Wilderness is not in the temple.

Not even in the secret room a hundred feet underground.

As for the statues standing at every corner and in the main hall of the temple, although they have the aura of the Lord of the Southern Wilderness, it is only an aura.

The Southern Wilderness God Lord himself was not here.

“It looks like the people are still inland.”

Gu Zheng walked slowly forward and came to the grand and spacious hall.

In the golden hall, divine servants in gorgeous robes and divine generals in Huang family armor stood majestically.

In the center of the hall, hundreds of barbarian leaders were kneeling, facing the statue devoutly and prostrating themselves on the ground in worship.

A priest stood on the steps and announced the reward to the barbarian leader.

Let them each offer a hundred young virgins, a hundred boys and girls.

The barbarian leader responded loudly and excitedly, saying that he would complete the God’s gift when he returned.

God-given, God’s gift?
“……Hopeless.”

Gu Zheng turned and left calmly.

A flash of sword light appeared out of nowhere, attracting the attention of the barbarians, the gods’ servants, the priests, and the gods’ generals.

Then, the sword light split into thousands and exploded like a star-shattering star.

Chi~chi~chi~
Boom! Boom! Boom~!!
The sword energy cut across the hall, instantly killing everyone in the hall.

The tall temple collapsed immediately afterwards, and the activated defense formation shattered just as it had put up a protective shield.

Several generals and priests at the king body realm rushed out of the ruins in fear, and several sword auras flew towards them.

Puff~Puff~Puff!

A flash of light as fast as lightning passed by, and several kings’ bodies froze in place. The next moment, each of them began to split apart from between their eyebrows, and the halves of their bodies fell back into the ruins along with blood.

The tall stone tower, from the surface to hundreds of feet underground, was completely destroyed.

The headquarters of the God Organization, the Nanhuang Temple, was razed to the ground in one move.

……

The Lord of the Southern Wasteland is not in the Southern Wasteland.

When Gu Zheng entered the inland, still in Yue State, he sensed two powerful auras colliding on the eastern coast.

shuh~
Stepping into the void, entering the reflected world, and walking out of the void again, Gu Zheng came to the collision site and saw the two people fighting.

Ji Yuming, the God of Southern Wilderness.

“Old beggar?”

Ji Yuming growled and stepped back.

“Haha.” The Southern Wasteland God Lord laughed, “Old beggar, hurry up…”

The following words came to an abrupt end, and his figure retreated, about to disappear into the void.

Buzz~!

Gu Zheng raised his hand and drew upon the power of the law to confine the space within a radius of several miles, cutting off the retreat of the Southern Wilderness God Lord.

“You closed the passage before and trapped me in the demon world. Did you achieve your goal?”

“…” The Southern Wilderness God’s face turned pale and he remained silent.

“Hahaha.” Ji Yuming laughed. “What a shit he achieved! This old man wanted to enter Qingshi County, but was blocked by Li Cunyi. He couldn’t get in at all. By the way, Brother Gu, you came back really fast this time.”

“good.”

Gu Zheng nodded, continued to stare at the Southern Desolate Divine Lord, and said calmly, “Do you have anything else to say?”

“……snort!”

The Southern Wilderness Lord shouted coldly, “Gu Zheng, you want to kill me, but it’s not that easy. We are both in the True Body Realm, who can kill who?”

“Finished?”

Gu Zheng said calmly, “That’s it, let’s get going.”

“you……”

Buzz~~~!

The entire blocked space suddenly tightened, like a smooth mirror, shrinking abruptly into a sphere, with the Southern Wilderness God Lord in the center of the sphere.

In astonishment, he frantically used all his special skills, and his whole body turned into black gas, rushing around, but he found that the enclosed space was like an iron wall, and he couldn’t break it open at all.

The several great laws that I could originally sensed no longer responded at this moment.

This kind of power…

“Imperial body?”

The Southern Wasteland God Lord screamed, “Gu Zheng, you actually broke through the Emperor’s Body! No, no, Emperor Gu, please spare me! I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again! Emperor Gu, please spare me! Please…”

The sound suddenly stopped, and the transmission was cut off.

The shrinking space sphere completely enveloped and devoured the Southern Desolate God Lord, turning him into nothingness.

This is the application of the laws of space!

Ji Yuming was stunned watching from the side.

Emperor Gu?

Imperial body?

Gu Zheng went to the demon world and actually broke through to the emperor body realm?

Even though Ji Yuming had lived for thousands of years and had seen countless geniuses, he couldn’t help but be stunned at this moment. The shock in his heart could not be expressed in words.

After a long while, he regained some composure and spoke cautiously, “Gu… Emperor Gu…”

“Brother Ji, just call me Brother Dao as before.” Gu Zheng interrupted softly, “I am not yet in the true Emperor Body Realm, but I have stepped half a step into it by luck.”

lucky?

Is it possible to enter the Emperor Body Realm by chance?
Even half a foot!

Ji Yuming took a deep breath and tried his best to stay calm.

“Brother Gu is too modest.”

Hearing this, Gu Zheng did not explain, and said softly, “Brother Ji, do you have any news about the Heart Devouring Demon Lord?”

“There is no news about the old beggar’s true identity.”

Ji Yuming shook his head. “The old guy is hiding very deeply. Especially since Brother Gu eliminated a large number of demons before, he dared not act in person. It was his clones who took over other people’s bodies and ran around everywhere.”

“A clone will do.” Gu Zheng pondered, “Are there any clones nearby?”

“Have.”

Ji Yuming nodded, “Yong Xingliang of the Yong family is one of the old beggar’s clones. He has been hunted down by the Yong family for more than a year. I know where he is hiding.”

“Brother Ji, please lead the way.” Gu Zheng clasped his fists.

“It should.”

Ji Yuming stopped, tore through the void, and stepped into the reflected world.

Gu Zheng followed closely behind.

With the help of the reflection world, he descended into an uninhabited mountainous area between the Yue Kingdom and the Jing Kingdom, into a gloomy valley.

swoosh~
Gu Zheng and Ji Yuming had just emerged from the void when a figure in the northwest corner of the valley seemed to sense something and quickly flew out of the valley.

“Want to run?”

Ji Yuming released sword energy through the air and intercepted the escaping figure.

Buzz~!

Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the fleeing figure. The surrounding space was immediately sealed off. Under the control of the power of the law, another spatial sphere shrank and collapsed.

“Bang bang~”

The figure rushed forward frantically, but could not escape. Suddenly, he screamed and roared, “Ji Yuming! Gu Zheng! Don’t go too far!”

“Who bullied you?”

Ji Yuming shouted coldly, “You have taken over the bodies of so many people. You are going too far! The Zhong family, the Zheng family, the Ying family, the Yong family… almost all the noble families have been infected by you! What do you want to do? You know it yourself!”

“…”

The Heart-Eating Demon Lord was silent.

But then, he laughed sinisterly, “Of course I know what you want to do. The question is, what can you do to me? Kill my clone? Come on, kill, just go ahead! Hahahaha…”

“…” Ji Yuming gritted his teeth, sword energy lingering around his body.

Gu Zheng chuckled, “You seem to be sure that we can’t do anything to you?”

“Hahaha.” The Heart Devouring Demon Lord laughed. “If you have a way, just use it. Aren’t you, Gu Zheng, the most talented person in thousands of years? Why, you can only argue with me?”

“That’s more than that.”

Gu Zheng took a step forward, the void split open, and he escaped into the reflected world.

“Haha.” The Heart-Eating Demon Lord laughed and asked Ji Yuming, “Gu Zheng left, aren’t you leaving? Or do you want to kill my clone? If you want to, do it as soon as possible!” “…” Ji Yuming didn’t respond, but looked a little strange.

“What? You don’t even dare to take action?” The Heart-Eating Demon Lord continued to provoke.

……

at the same time.

Shang State, west of the country, on a hilltop close to the Tianmen River, in a dark cave.

The void suddenly split open and Gu Zheng walked out.

The moment he stepped out, he manipulated the power of the laws and sealed off the space of the entire mountain.

Deep in the cave, the expression of an old figure who was laughing at Ji Yuming suddenly changed.

“impossible!”

Buzz~buzz~buzz~!

The void trembled, as if it was about to break, but no matter how loud the shaking frequency was, it could not be broken.

Gu Zheng walked step by step through the void and came to the depths of the cave. Looking at the old figure, he chuckled and said, “Heart Devouring Demon Lord? Your real body is so old, um, you still have more than ten years of real life? It’s almost over, no wonder you are unwilling to give up and are looking for trouble everywhere.”

“…”

On the cold stone plate, the Heart Devouring Demon Lord had a withered face with no expression on his face. Only a pair of bloodshot eyes stared at Gu Zheng intently, and he asked hoarsely, “How did you find me?”

Of course, follow the guidance of the soul line!
If the real body and the clone are completely separated, there will be no connection between them.

The death of the clone has little impact on the real body.

However, the Heart-Eating Demon Lord was obviously not that thorough. His “Heart-Eating Demon Planting Technique” was essentially to split his own soul and control his clone like a puppet.

This gives us room to maneuver!

Gu Zheng locked onto his clone a moment ago. With his spiritual power at the imperial body level and his flaming eyes, he saw the “soul line”.

Then follow the “soul line” to find the true body of the Heart-Eating Demon Lord that is connected together!

“You don’t need to know how to find it.”

Gu Zheng raised his hand and manipulated the laws of space, shrinking the space around the Heart-Eating Demon Lord into a sphere.

“Do not……”

The Heart Devouring Demon Lord screamed, “You can’t…”

Kakakka~
Bang! !

There was an explosion.

The space sphere was annihilated, and the Heart-Eating Demon Lord inside turned into nothingness.

When the main body died, the clones scattered all over the place died one by one, leaving only the body lying on the ground.

Ji Yuming, who was guarding “Yong Xingliang”, was stunned at first. After he came to his senses, he looked at Yong Xingliang’s corpse and took a deep breath.

“As expected of Emperor Gu!”

The one who could kill “Yong Xingliang” from a distance was undoubtedly Gu Zheng.

The Heart-Eating Demon Lord who made all the major families panic died just like that.

……

Word spread quickly.

The Southern Wilderness God Lord and the Heart-devouring Demon Lord all died.

Gu Zheng, who killed them, was confirmed by his agent Yu Ming and entered the realm of the emperor body.

All the noble families were shocked, but soon calmed down.

It’s nothing, I’ve been shocked so much that I’m numb.

Without the interference of the Southern Wilderness God Lord and the Heart-devouring Demon Lord, the ten paths of the world officially entered a period of peaceful development.

Especially after Gu Zheng, holding the Seal of the Human Emperor, found all the passages between the two worlds in the human world and completely eliminated the channels connecting the demon world, the remaining demons were quickly killed by all the major families.

Gu Zheng ignored the outside world.

After severing the connection with the demon world, he stayed in Qingshi County and used the Human Emperor Seal to complete the unification of the three realms.

Only when Qingshi County turns into a cave, he will be a true emperor.

However, not long after, eight major families, including the Zhong family, Zheng family, Yang family, and Fu family, appeared outside Qingshi County and asked to see Gu Zheng.

Swish!
Gu Zheng descended on the mountaintop in the form of wind and thunder. He looked at the heads of the eight great families and said calmly, “What do you want from me?”

“cough~”

Zheng Jiuyang coughed and explained, “It’s like this. We have always kept in mind the instructions of Emperor Gu, but we have disciplined the people below, but many of them have repeatedly violated the rules. They still fought for the ownership of the previous territory and the rights they had.”

“We are thinking, can we unify the ten regions and establish a new dynasty?”

“Sure.” Gu Zheng responded directly, “It’s up to any of you to be the emperor, as long as you don’t mess around after you become the emperor.”

“Thank you, Emperor Gu!”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiuyang and the eight men of Fu Guangming bowed and thanked together.

Gu Zheng’s figure flashed, and the incarnation of wind and thunder disappeared.

Gu Zheng really doesn’t care who becomes the emperor.

But if something goes wrong, Gu Zheng doesn’t mind changing one.

Whoever does this will be killed until they are scared!
As for Gu Zheng himself, he has no interest.

Although becoming an emperor can mean “eternal life”.

But compared to responsibility, “live forever” is just that.

Especially after Qingshi County turns into a cave paradise, Gu Zheng will also be able to live forever.

to this end.

Gu Zheng didn’t take it seriously and immediately put it out of his mind.

However, a month later, he still had to leave the room and attend the coronation ceremony of the new emperor.

Because the new emperor’s name is Gu Sihai!

The eight great families were so cunning as to push Gu Sihai to the position of emperor.

Gu Zheng had nothing to say about this choice.

Gu Sihai’s awkward explanation also made Gu Zheng silent.

“I didn’t agree to it, but they are right.”

“Ping’an, you don’t want to be the emperor. If you change to someone else, none of their subordinates will obey. The result of disobedience is that the dynasty will soon be in chaos. Although you can kill people, you can’t kill a group of people every time, right?”

“Finally, whether Ping An is willing or not, you are now the number one person in the world, the only one with an imperial body since ancient times. Thanks to you, our Gu family stands at the highest point in the world.”

“Since I have enjoyed the convenience brought by this privilege, I think it is our duty as the Gu family to give back to the people of the world.”

“The world has been in chaos for nearly ten years, and the eight nations have been fighting for three hundred years. The people want peace and tranquility!”

“…”

Regardless of whether Gu Sihai had selfish motives or not, he was blinded by his position as emperor, and this reason did make some sense.

Gu Zheng tacitly accepted his throne as emperor and only asked for one thing.

The new dynasty was named Han.

Big man!

With him watching over it, it would not be a problem for the Han Dynasty to achieve eternal peace.

……

In the third year of the Han Dynasty, Gu Zheng completed the unification of the three domains, and Qingshi County turned into a cave paradise, but Gu Zheng did not take it away, and Qingshi remained the center of the world.

In the 22nd year of the Han Dynasty, Gu Sihai abdicated and Gu Feng ascended the throne.

In the 48th year of the Han Dynasty, Gu Feng died of illness and his third son ascended the throne.

In the 66th year of the Han Dynasty, the Wanlong Dao rebelled because the fifth son of Gu Feng oppressed the people too much, and the people who were left with nowhere to go rose up in rebellion.

In the 93rd year of the Han calendar, the demon world disappeared for a hundred years, the energy between heaven and earth disappeared again, and the magic no longer existed.

In the 157th year of the Han calendar, the first steam engine was born.

In the 215th year of the Han calendar, the first electric light was turned on.

In the 238th year of the Han calendar, the first train appeared in Fengzhou and Gwangju.

In the 261st year of the Han calendar, the royal family of Gu gave up power in the cabinet and only maintained their noble status.

The 305th year of the Han calendar.

Toyosu, Nanyun University.

In the lecture hall on the third floor of teaching building B.

“Student in the last row, get out of class is about to end, you can wake up now.”

On the podium, the old professor with half white hair looked at the last row of seats by the window, where a boy was sleeping on his stomach in the sun, and said with a smile, “It’s a nice spring day, isn’t it comfortable to sleep?”

“Haha~” There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.

The boy was pushed awake by his friend in the front row and scratched his head in embarrassment.

“This student looks a little unfamiliar, but also a little familiar.” The old professor raised his glasses, looked at the boy, and asked curiously, “What’s your name?”

“Hello, teacher. My name is Gu Zheng.”
