God of Pets Chapter 982: In a Single Thought
Previously on God of Pets...
The stars emitted a sacred light, as if they were the sun illuminating the world, nourishing all living things with vibrant life.
But as the light grew brighter, it gradually shifted from white to blue, then from blue to purple, from purple to red, and from red to gold. When the gold reached its most intense state, it turned into a shade of black.
By then, the celestial bodies lost their sacred aura and instead looked like a Demon Star radiating boundless evil.
The light that originally nurtured all life, due to its overwhelming intensity, turned everything it illuminated into dead silence.
The Ghost Daoist gazed at the copper coin in the sky, and Chen Guan also looked at the copper coin in the sky.
"In this world, a little more is too much, a little less is too little. A copper coin has two sides, as the world is divided into Yin and Yang. The Savior is the Yang, the Demon Child is the Yin. The Yin side was always behind the Yang side..." the Ghost Daoist murmured to himself.
"So, Master Observer, you mean to say that I am the true Demon Child?" Chen Guan said calmly.
"Whether it's demonic or not, it's all within a single thought." The Ghost Daoist waved his sleeve, and the celestial-like copper coin fell from the sky, spinning incessantly like a burning iron bead upon landing on the table.
The Ghost Daoist looked intensely at Chen Guan and asked, "Do you want it to stop on the Yin side or the Yang side?"
"Naturally, the Yang side," Chen Guan replied.
As the brightness gradually receded, the spinning speed of the copper coin also slowed down, finally standing upright on the table without falling.
The Ghost Daoist extended a slightly trembling hand, held the copper coin, rubbed it twice, and tossed it to Chen Guan.
Chen Guan caught the copper coin with his index and middle fingers.
"The line between Yin and Yang, good or evil, is for you to decide. The copper coin is yours, Qinghua is in the backyard, go find her," said the Ghost Daoist.
"Aren't you afraid I'll choose the reverse side?" Chen Guan asked, looking at the Ghost Daoist.
"When you were born, I chose to believe in you at that time because back then, you were just a newborn child; you shouldn't bear the karma that isn't yours. Now, I still choose to believe in you, because the current you hasn't strayed onto the wrong path. Why shouldn't I believe in someone who hasn't taken the wrong path?" The Ghost Daoist said calmly, choosing to believe in himself rather than the fate he had deduced.
"Alright, I remember," Chen Guan closed his five fingers, holding the copper coin in his palm, then bid farewell and turned away.
In the backyard, Chen Guan found little Qinghua practicing cultivation with her senior brothers and sisters. She was very happy to see him.
"Little Qinghua, I need your help." Chen Guan said with a smile.
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Qinghua pouted her lips and said.
"It's not politeness; it's because this matter is too dangerous." Chen Guan told Qinghua everything the Spirit Devouring God had mentioned.
"We can go save the world together; that's so cool." Qinghua was very excited after hearing this and showed no fear.
Like-minded Jiang Qiemo had a similar reaction after hearing what Chen Guan had said. They were all pure-hearted people.
Bai Xiuyan and Qin Ziyu also immediately agreed to accompany Chen Guan, though their reasons differed slightly from Qinghua's. Their main aim was to solve the problem and save the world.
Xiu Jie Ming and Xiu Yingmei also accepted the invitation, with Xiu Jie Ming even recommending many young talents from the Ancestral Court to join, including Qi Zhi'an.
Qin Qiu and Xiu Jie Ming had similar approaches, recommending many others as well.
The Zhang Family also shared the same ideas. Chen Guan understood their motives and agreed to their recommendations.
For Chen Guan, the more people, the better.
He called upon many people from Purple Sun City and the Southern Heavenly Kingdom to join, including Huang Tianming and Huangfu Yan.
Qinghua happily left the Lotus Temple with Chen Guan. Instead of heading to the Immortal Mountain Sect, they first visited the Ancestral Court.
Six of the Ten Celestial Kings had been waiting for Chen Guan there for a long time; except for the King of Du, all other Celestial Kings still on earth were present.
"Is the situation in Sky City really as King Ji and King Feng described?" asked King Xia directly in the conference room—a question that all the Celestial Kings wanted answered.
"If you don't believe it, you can ascend to the Celestial Secret Realm yourselves to verify." Chen Guan replied.
"If we are to attack the Tower of the Sky, how do you plan to arrange it?" asked the King of Shang.
"Here are detailed materials on the six Towers of the Sky. I will handle the final Tower of the Sky, and the rest of you can claim the other five." Chen Guan laid out the detailed information about the towers in front of the six Celestial Kings.
"What are your plans for Chunxiang and the others?" asked King of Zhang after reviewing the materials, looking at Chen Guan.
"They have already advanced to the Ninth Awakening in the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm, but it's still not enough. I will take them to the Celestial Secret Realm to cultivate further, aiming for perfection at the Hundred-level before we attack the Tower of the Sky. If any of you are willing, you can join me. If you have concerns, you can ascend the Celestial Secret Realm on your own, and the Spirit Devouring God will guide you all the same." Chen Guan said.
After deliberation, the Celestial Kings decided to go to the Celestial Secret Realm, but none chose to accompany Chen Guan, opting instead for solo ascension.
Chen Guan had spent half a month in the Divine Land taking care of affairs, except he hadn't been able to meet the King of Du.
When he visited the Great Cave Heaven of the King of Du, he did not find him. Instead, he met Purple Robe and Gu Shan.
They told Chen Guan that King of Du went to cultivate alone and hadn't returned, and they couldn't reach him.
Chen Guan adjusted his Secret Law to locate the King of Du, but it didn't succeed.
"What exactly is this King of Du trying to do?" Chen Guan wondered but wasn't overly concerned.
The King of Du hadn't entered the Celestial Secret Realm and was ultimately still at the Ninth Awakening. There were many Tenth Awakening cultivators in the Divine Land, so even if the Celestial Kings left for the Celestial Secret Realm, the King of Du couldn't dominate singlehandedly.
Yet, Chen Guan felt something was amiss, so he made additional preparations before taking Qinghua to the Immortal Mountain Sect, where numerous human talents awaited to join him in the Sky Garden.
Chen Guan did a head count; there were over 130 human talents joining him to the Sky Garden, most of whom were recommended by Xiu Jie Ming, Qin Qiu, Xia Huang, and others.
Chen Guan was very satisfied with the number and led them all to the Sky Garden.
As Chen Guan and his group headed for the Sky Garden, families witnessed Celestial Kings continuously ascending to the Celestial Secret Realm, heralding the arrival of the Spirit Devouring God.
This unprecedented era saw six Celestial Kings ascend to the Celestial Secret Realm within two days, astonishing the entire Divine Land.
Many extolled that the era of the Celestial Kings might be coming to an end.
