Chapter 323 - 208: The Fall of Daqian, Ascension to the Throne_2
"With your temperament, you’d have temples built at the doorstep of the Buddhist Sect in a few thousand years," Ao Tang joked.
The great powers always feared karmic consequences—not necessarily owning many temples equals good deeds, but surely meddlesomeness abounds. Especially for someone with a lawless character like Gu Wen, bestow upon him the identity of Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, and truly no one within the Human Race could handle him.
"I’ve always handed down the verdict without handling the aftermath; no one worships a god that doesn’t answer prayers," Gu Wen looked up at the sky, increasingly longing for an even vaster heaven and earth.
A few thousand years might turn even a pig into a Kong Laoer, but is this what immortal cultivation is all about?
Spans of thousands of years are trivial, reverence from others is easily obtained, enjoying offerings is taken for granted, and becoming a respected ancestor is the norm.
"Let’s talk serious business. Although it might be rubbish, I still have to inform you," Ao Tang’s expression turned solemn, "If anything unusual happens later on, I will take you with me. You might be able to deal with an incarnation of a Devil Ancestor, but you’re no match for Jianmu; given the chance, it will certainly kill you."
Gu Wen nodded and said, "I understand, and if I’m not up to it at this point, I will accept it."
"It’s good that you understand, you are much more sensible than Yu Hua," Ao Tang let out a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, "Back in Bianjing, the little ancestress almost killed me for your sake. If I had said ’no’ at that time, my head might have been twisted right off."
