Chapter 582 568: Crazy Matryoshka
"Cough cough cough, why are you all looking at me?"
Faced with everyone's gaze, Sister Trumpet felt a bit awkward. She had gotten along well with the others, yet they showed her no respect at all. After all, she was the "lead singer," wasn't she?
Sister Trumpet continued, "Use your wisdom to assist him, so he doesn't mess up. His combat power is indisputable, a superhuman weapon."
"Of course, with the genius talents of the forty-eight Celestial Venerables, each one of you among the strongest in the cosmic river, theoretically assisting just him is no problem at all. But the opponents are indeed formidable! I will be behind the scenes, using my wisdom to guide your path and offer strategic advice."
Sister Trumpet's words left everyone feeling relieved.
They had previously enjoyed the fortune benefits brought by Sister Trumpet, which brought them to where they were today. If that were gone, they wouldn't know what to do.
Then, Sister Trumpet addressed the crowd, "It's not that I don't want to lead you further, but you know, I'm old now, I'm really old. Like Celestial Venerable Wen Ce, I'm old, my mindset is outdated, lacking in talents..."
Sister Trumpet wore a pained expression, trying to squeeze out tears, thinking inwardly:
After all, she'd had enough fun and needed to go back to playing the suona and eating in the cafeteria.
Being outside was truly tiring. Sister Trumpet decided to continue as an underground operator, returning to a quiet guild life, remotely controlling them to reach the peak of the universe.
In Miao Chun Hall, becoming a seemingly ordinary Second-in-Command was sufficient.
Thinking of this, she indeed missed Brother Fu a bit, her face more pained, unable to resist deceiving the friends she met on her travels, "Oh! Sorry, everyone. You've been with me for so long, yet I'm leaving you halfway... I can't reach the top of this universe, so I'm letting my younger self, this very Shisheng here, walk with you to the top of the universe to create a prosperous era."
The crowd seemed puzzled,
Are you saying that the forty-nine musical instruments you prepared for us don't have talents?
They were bewildered, ultimately attributing it to the powerful mystery of the Immortal World Venerable.
And perhaps, this was the best solution for now,
After all, the old Immortal World Venerable intended to have his younger self take over, nurturing himself to ascend, an unimaginable method akin to burning the bridge to retreat!
Cough cough cough.
Sister Trumpet coughed twice, patting her mediocre chest as she assured, "Rest easy! I've long prepared this, burning the bridge to retreat, I had already established our group of forty-nine for this very moment!"
"Everybody knows that the Immortal World Venerable has reincarnated, but who knows that he becomes a powerhouse in our established group out of nowhere? That young genius known as Dead Melody?"
"The timeline doesn't match."
"No one would suspect that the just-reincarnated Immortal World Venerable Shi Sheng is actually the long-famous Dead Melody... This prepared identity allows him to stay hidden and compete with the young guns!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately marveled at the terrifying calculation behind it.
Without them saying anything, who would notice that Dead Melody had changed?
They were very excited.
"Quiet."
Sister Trumpet raised her hand high and continued, "His youth combined with my wisdom make up the complete form of the Immortal World Venerable, right? So, if you follow him, ten to nine chances you'll have a place at the peak of the universe in the future!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was very happy.
Thinking more,
Now in the universe, a lot of strong adversaries exist,
but truly strong ones are only a few—old Celestial Venerable Wen Ce, along with a few young teams, and Amiro from the current Celestial Court...
With the inheritance and help from the Immortal Master, could they not have the ability to reach the pinnacle?
They were also among the strongest.
In fact, due to this type of layout, they were hidden, allowing the world to lower their guard against them, ultimately benefiting like a fisherman.
From this perspective, they were among the most likely to break out and seize the top of the world.
"Everyone, do you understand?" Sister Trumpet yawned.
"We understand."
They looked at each other and nodded.
Having long adapted to Sister Trumpet's playful personality, the replacement of a similarly minded young Grand Ancestor Shi Sheng made little difference.
In fact, this kind of leader wasn't bad either,
simple and honest, straightforward, wouldn't swindle them, trustworthy, with strong cohesion.
"So they understand, do you understand?" Sister Trumpet looked at the young Grand Ancestor Shi Sheng beside her, "From today on, you're the real Grand Ancestor Shi Sheng, you need to compete for the world!"
Shi Sheng continued shoveling food into his mouth with a naive smile, having none of that terrifying calculating ability seen later in history, "I understand, I want to wander around with them, playing suona everywhere! Happily playing!"
Sister Trumpet covered her forehead, thinking it was fine,
It was precisely because so pure, without distractions, that his Dao heart was so strong.
Anyway, she herself was always monitoring him remotely from the cafeteria, and there were forty-nine Celestial Venerable members protecting him; remote-controlling her cosmic expedition team to the peak was also quite interesting.
"Listen to the others, okay?" Sister Trumpet instructed.
"Okay." The young Grand Ancestor Shi Sheng didn't even look up.
Sister Trumpet rarely felt a bit embarrassed, looked at the other members, and said boldly, "Everyone, after spending so much time with you, finally, we must part ways! The green mountains never change, the rivers flow forever!"
She clasped her fist, full of a martial artist's demeanor, "Until we meet again!"
"Safe travels, Sister Trumpet!"
"Safe travels, Sister Trumpet!"
...
...
"Having retired from the martial world, my legend still lingers in the world."
Sister Trumpet bid farewell to them, returning happily to Earth.
"Hmm, hmm, the young version of me, the young Shi Sheng, will definitely conquer the world and become the strongest!" She was quite smug, "After all, I'm already old, too old."
"I'm old, my stomach isn't good, I must return to the cafeteria to eat soft meals and have Brother Fu take care of me." She mimicked Tang Meng's flirty lines, "They battle far away, working hard, while I can just stay at home as the strategist."
She did find it a bit strange,
Logically, she should already be so old, yet how come she still had so many youthful thoughts?
A bit mind-boggling.
But soon she couldn't be bothered.
In reality, she was playing a crazy game of Russian dolls, she and that Shi Sheng were both truly young.
Who was really the old one?
They themselves were confused.
The current situation was so messy it left people dumbfounded,
A group of cunning old foxes masked their identities, making it hard to tell who's who.
Quickly, Sister Trumpet replaced her stand-in, returning to the cafeteria, happily gobbling food, then playing suona, "Brother Fu, Brother Fu, I play suona for you, recently Sister Trumpet composed new pieces, they sound wonderful."
Fu Qingjun patted Sister Trumpet's head, "Good girl, play for me to hear."
Sister Trumpet proudly played her trumpet, hopping and skipping in the cafeteria.
Fu Qingjun watching this, was moved, "The four Grand Ancestors now ruling over the cosmic river of time, the first Emperor, the Immortal World Venerable, playing the suona to entertain me."
"Before, there was also the second Emperor, Elder Qianxiu, whom I tricked into making food and playing the suona to entertain me."
"Thinking back, among all the Ancestral Emperors, there's only the third Emperor Wen Ce, who hasn't played suona for me." Fu Qingjun suddenly felt emotional,
Unfortunately, Celestial Venerable Wen Ce was wanted and the two were sworn enemies, so it was impossible to have this opportunity.
"What a pity," Fu Qingjun sighed, shaking his head.
