Chapter 54 The Fear of the Gods! The Only Chance of Survival?
The smile doesn't disappear, it just moves on.
In stark contrast to the relief in the offering hall and the jubilation inside the cloud boat,
Inside the Haotian Sect,
A gloomy and desolate atmosphere prevailed.
A series of heavy blows brought this once-dominant "Number One Sect Under Heaven" down to the dust.
First, the old sect leader Tang Chen died at the hands of Tang San, and then the seventh elder Tang Lie was killed on the spot by Shui Zhantian.
The other party even issued a warning, telling them to behave themselves!
The number one sect under heaven,
They've lost all face and dignity!
When Shui Bing'er left Douluo Continent, they secretly plotted to find a way to trip up the Shui family and get back at them once the storm had passed.
However, the latest images coming from the sky...
It completely shattered their last shred of hope and wishful thinking.
The Heavenly Emperor himself instructed me!
These four words were like a mountain, pressing down on the entire Haotian Sect, making it hard to breathe.
It also crushed all resentment and anger.
Sect Master Tang Xiao's face was ashen, as if he had aged decades in an instant.
He gazed at the elders in the hall, their expressions ranging from anger to despair, and slowly spoke, his voice hoarse:
"Elders... Haotian Sect has suffered repeated calamities and its vitality has been greatly damaged."
"At this juncture, closing oneself off from the world and biding one's time may be... the only way out!"
He dared not mention the bond of blood, and instead acknowledged Tang San's identity in an attempt to minimize the damage...
That would only trigger greater division and anger within the sect.
Only time,
Perhaps it can gradually fade everything away and prove some things...
The Haotian Sect was not the only one feeling frustrated and desperate.
Inside the temporary headquarters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Upon learning that Shui Bing'er had become the Heavenly Emperor's personal disciple, Ning Fengzhi felt dizzy and nearly lost his balance.
Thinking back to how arrogant her daughter Ning Rongrong was in front of Shui Bing'er,
And those arrogant words she uttered before leaving, saying she'd have the True Lord deal with her...
At that moment, he truly wished he were dead!
"Rongrong... Rongrong, please don't do anything foolish again!"
Ning Fengzhi's voice trembled.
His usually calm and composed face was now filled with endless bitterness and panic.
He was shrewd all his life, scheming for half his existence.
I never expected this.
Ultimately, he might be brought down by his most beloved daughter's arrogant and reckless nature.
Previously, although he felt that his daughter's words were somewhat excessive,
But deep down, a sliver of hope remained.
No matter how strong Shui Bing'er is, she was ultimately a "pig farmer".
With Yang Jian and Xiaotianquan as her backers, Rongrong is of noble status and would not suffer a great loss no matter what.
Who could have predicted that the reversal would happen so quickly!
Shui Bing'er has risen to become the Heavenly Emperor's personal disciple, her status now on par with Yang Jian and his sister.
And what about Ning Rongrong?
Not only was he severely warned by Xiaotianquan for returning without permission, but he was also subtly disliked by Yang Jian and his sister...
Instead of progressing, they have regressed, and their situation is precarious.
If she still harbors those old ulterior motives and tries to trip up Shui Bing'er...
Ning Fengzhi dared not think any further...
Sword Douluo was also filled with regret and worry:
"It's all my fault... I spoiled her rotten since she was little!"
"Before leaving, I should have given her a few more words of advice and tried to temper her temper..."
"Uncle Jian, don't blame yourself! It's my fault as a father..."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, forcing himself to calm down.
"Fortunately, Shui Bing'er is magnanimous and did not hold Rongrong's previous rudeness against her!"
"If Rongrong is careful with her words and actions from now on and doesn't provoke anyone again... perhaps there's still room for maneuver!"
He could only hope that Xiaotianquan's warning would truly move Ning Rongrong and make her restrain herself a bit!
Human emotions are not shared!
Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.
Avalanche saw in the sky that Ning Rongrong was being scolded by Xiaotian Dog and couldn't even lift her head.
I almost burst out laughing; I felt incredibly happy!
"You scoundrel who abuses his power! You deserve it! Serves you right for being so arrogant!"
Recalling Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi's arrogant attitude before, as if they wouldn't even share a bottle of "bathwater,"
He felt relieved.
Immediately afterwards,
The scene of Shui Bing'er being formally accepted as a disciple by the Heavenly Emperor made him feel both lingering fear and immense relief!
"May our ancestors bless us! Thank you, gods!"
He was so excited that he became incoherent.
"So close, so very close, I was about to plunge the Heavenly Dou Empire into an abyss of no return!"
It was precisely the appearance of the gods that
He woke him up.
Let him know how dangerous what he's doing is!
What truly shocked him, and even made him feel somewhat flattered, was what Shui Bing'er said before she left.
They even sent someone to deliver a bottle of celestial dew to him.
Even if it's the lowest grade, even if the portion is small...
But you should know,
He not only got a cold shoulder from Ning Rongrong,
Of all the titled Douluo and major sects on the mainland, how many of them truly take him, the emperor, seriously?
And Shui Bing'er, who is the number one person in Douluo Continent, actually remembered him, a mere Heaven Dou Emperor...
At that moment, avalanche felt not only gratitude,
There was also a long-lost feeling of being respected.
It was from that moment on,
He vowed that from now on he would be Shui Bing'er's most steadfast and devout believer!
I wish I could,
The higher her status, the better, so she can teach Ning Rongrong a lesson!
The realm of gods.
The gods do not want the avalanche's profuse thanks... it is a mark of their humiliation!
Previously, he suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Shui Bing'er, and the Asura God perished.
This had already made them extremely frustrated and resentful.
They had originally planned to...
After Shui Bing'er leaves, we'll find another opportunity to test the waters and see if we can get some revenge.
But the action hasn't even started yet.
Then came the message from the sky, a message that sent shivers down their spines.
Shui Bing'er had actually become the personal disciple of the Heavenly Emperor, who could make them tremble and prostrate themselves with just a glance from afar!
What made them even more desperate was...
That Heavenly Emperor,
It seemed they had been watching their every move...
"It's all Shui Bing'er's fault...she hid herself so well!"
The God of Destruction lowered his voice, sharing the same thought as Bibi Dong.
At this moment, I am filled with regret and lingering fear.
"If she had revealed earlier that she was a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor, would we... would we have dared to act so impulsively?"
He spoke these words very softly.
As if afraid of being overheard by that terrifying being.
Ironically, it's true.
Not long ago, they were confident that they could rival the "Primordial Heavenly Emperor."
Now, its power can only be glimpsed through the sky.
My soul trembled, and I wished I could get as far away as possible...
"What's the point of saying all this now!"
The benevolent god-king, his face pale, sighed and said...
"What we should be thinking about is... what to do next."
"It's a miracle we survived this time. When Shui Bing'er returns..."
The god-kings looked at each other in silence, each seeing a deep sense of powerlessness in the other's eyes.
Their previous pride had long been crushed by Shui Bing'er, and now they finally saw their true position.
In terms of cultivation level, she is perhaps slightly higher than Shui Bing'er when she left, roughly equivalent to the Void Refinement stage.
However, in terms of profound techniques, divine weapons and magical treasures... their actual combat strength would probably be significantly reduced.
At most, he'd only reach the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
With Shui Bing'er's terrifying growth rate, when she returns next time, she will definitely be able to wipe out the entire God Realm in one fell swoop!
"Not only Shui Bing'er," the God of Life's voice was deep, "but also that Silver Dragon King…"
Although the screen belonging to Gu Yuena had gone dark, they were certain that she was not dead.
What disturbed her even more was that there was a fleeting, blurry image before the picture disappeared completely.
That seems to be... a garden where peach blossoms are in full bloom?
Thinking back to the Peach Garden where Shui Bing'er first appeared, she had a bad feeling...
The gods fell into a deathly silence once more, a silence so oppressive it was suffocating.
However, at this moment,
The four God-Kings simultaneously sensed something, abruptly raised their heads, and unanimously cast their gazes toward the void beyond the plane.
They felt it too.
A vast, powerful, and unfamiliar wave is slowly approaching from the depths of the boundless void...
