Chapter 97 The Three Holy Gods
"call."
Gu Ce looked at Du Lanlian lying in front of him and let out a long sigh.
At this time, Gu Ce's condition was not good.
All the bones in his body were crushed, and his body was like a broken rag doll, tattered and riddled with bloody holes. His body was covered with wounds, and the holy flames burned most of Gu Ce's body. If he had not mastered the fourth level of the Ice Evolution Body, he would probably have died instantly.
"This woman is ruthless; she almost dragged me down with her," Gu Ce cursed under his breath.
Du Lanlian's physical condition can only support her to unleash a single strike at the peak of the Realm Lord level. Any more than that would damage her fundamental health and even endanger her life.
Even so, she still chose to fight Gu Ce, dragging him out for more than ten moves. Fortunately, the Star-Eating Grass was fast enough to deal with the Blood Orchid Vine, and with timely rescue, she was able to defeat Du Lanlian.
Taking out a large number of recovery items, Gu Ce quickly restored his body while watching a holy flame flame emerge from Du Lanlian's corpse.
Within the pale green flame was a dark solid the size of a marble.
Wooden Void Sacred Flame - Primal Fire Seed!
Putting away the primordial fire, Gu Ce looked up at the figure that had appeared before him.
"Grandpa!" Yao Guangye appeared nearby at some point and called out to the figure.
Yao Guang Tianyou glanced at Yao Guang Ye: "Call me grandpa when you can solo kill the city lord of the main city."
This.
Yao Guangye shut his mouth, not daring to speak.
"Master of the Yaoguang Clan, what do you want?" Gu Ce asked warily.
The Star-Eating Grasses surrounded Gu Ce, watching the Yao Guang Tian You with equal vigilance.
Yao Guang Tianyou did not answer directly. Instead, he first looked at Du Lanlian's mangled corpse, and then at the half-dead Blood Orchid Vine beside her. He could only say that it was indeed a parasitic plant with a tenacious vitality. It was not completely dead yet.
"Don't worry, I won't harm you," Yao Guangtianyou said.
"Although you are impersonating Ye'er, you have helped my Yao Guang family occupy a main city. I will not stop you from doing what you want to do. You can go and take over the main city of Dulan now," Yao Guang Tianyou said.
While Gu Ce and Du Lan Lian were fighting, Yao Guang Tian You had already made his move, crushing everyone else in Du Lan's main city. All the Du Lan family members were killed by Yao Guang Tian You, so Gu Ce's appointment to office will not be hindered in the slightest.
The only problem is that all the officials have been replaced by people from Yaoguang Tianyou.
However, Gu Ce didn't care about these things. His purpose in obtaining this identity was simply to be able to participate in the Holy Pillar Trial.
Only by participating in the Holy Pillar Trials can one obtain the Primal Flame!
"With your record, and your... the Holy God should come looking for you personally. Don't worry, they shouldn't make a move against you." Yao Guang Tianyou gave Gu Ce a meaningful look.
Gu Ce nodded and, protected by the Star-Eating Grass, entered the main city of Dulan.
Next comes the main event of arriving at the Seven Flames Palace.
Yao Guangtian left, but Yao Guangye and Qi Yunxian remained by Gu Ce's side.
To paraphrase Yao Guang Tianyou, both of them had been poisoned by Gu Ce, so staying by Gu Ce's side and doing his bidding was the best option.
……
Just as Yao Guang Tianyou had predicted.
Gu Ce's achievements still alarmed those high and mighty gods.
Inside the city lord's mansion in the main city of Dulan.
As soon as Gu Ce exited the virtual universe, he found himself surrounded by three flames of different colors.
Seeing this, Gu Ce was not surprised and asked, "Holy God?"
"Hmm." The blue flame representing the Holy God of Mirror Lake flickered slightly and spoke.
"According to the rules we set back then, since you successfully killed the city lord of Dulan in the final battle, you are qualified to inherit everything from her. Tell me, what do you want?" The one who spoke was the Enlightened Holy God, representing the white Wind and Holy Flame.
"Holy God, I wish to undergo the Holy Pillar Trial," Gu Ce replied.
"As expected." The three Holy Gods nodded. Once these princes of the Virtual Universe Company discovered the true opportunity of the Seven Flames Palace, none of them wanted to not challenge the Holy Pillar Trial.
The greater the talent and strength, the more obvious this performance will be.
However, this is the first time I've seen someone like Gu Ce who forcibly killed the city lord of the main city to obtain the qualification to challenge. Most people attract the attention of the Holy God through other means and thus get the opportunity to challenge.
Things like bewitching the city lord of the main city to unify the divine kingdom, becoming the richest merchant in the divine kingdom through simulation management, triggering a war between several divine kingdoms through war strategy, or even directly killing the disciples of the Holy God, may attract the attention of the Holy God.
To prevent the Seven Flames Palace from being ruined, the Holy Gods usually give these princes face and allow them to challenge the Holy Pillar Trials.
"In that case, let's set off immediately," said the Holy God of Mirror Lake.
Before Gu Ce could react, the three holy gods, carrying Gu Ce's body, vanished from the spot.
Yao Guangye and Qi Yunxian, who walked in from outside, were taken aback.
What about people?
Weren't you just here a moment ago?
Big brother, you can't get hurt!
……
Sacred Ruins.
Rumor has it that this place is the ruins left behind when the seven holy gods joined forces to fight against the extraterrestrial demons. Even world lord level experts who come here will be affected by the residual law fluctuations in the holy ruins. Only world lord level peak experts can remain unaffected.
However, there are no valuable treasures here, so no one ever comes here.
The Sacred Ruins are located in the center of the Land of Order, at the intersection of the seven great divine kingdoms. From the air, it appears as an extremely deep canyon and sinkhole, like an abyss with no bottom in sight.
"This is actually the main entrance to the Seven Flames Palace. The so-called Sacred Ruins were left behind by an esteemed person who entered the palace, gained the approval of a Sacred Flame, and opened a crack in the gate," explained the Enlightened Saint.
"Why say so much?" said the Mirror Lake Saint, somewhat displeased.
"It's alright, he won't do anything about it even if he finds out," said Lin Musheng.
The three holy gods led Gu Ce deep into the bottom of the Holy Ruins. Soon, after passing through a narrow passage, the view suddenly opened up before them.
"In the past, when city lords challenged the Holy Pillar Trial, they always had divine messengers to guide them. With the three of us personally escorting you, your treatment is much better," the Enlightened Holy God joked.
"Then I must thank the Holy God." Gu Ce smiled as he looked around.
This is the core area of the Seven Flames Palace, also known as the Sacred Pillar Space.
Seven enormous white jade pillars supported this space. Each pillar, visible to the naked eye, was over ten million kilometers long, appearing to be ten thousand times smaller than it would be in the universe.
At the top of each of these seven pillars is a flame of a different color, radiating light; these are the seven sacred flames.
In the center of the seven pillars was a huge octagonal altar, with a circular pit in the center. There should have been something there, but for some reason it has disappeared.
Gu Ce, with his sharp eyes, noticed a collapsed pillar in one corner of the Sacred Pillar Space, which corresponded to one corner of the octagonal altar.
Could it be that it corresponds to the missing Fire Void Holy Flame?
Gu Ce thought to himself.
It seems that countless years ago, the Seven Flames Palace should have been called the Eight Flames Palace. This place should have been a sacred place for cultivating the Fusion Law. The eight sacred flames could resonate with the paths of the eight great beast gods and comprehend the Fusion Law.
The Holy Flame of Fire Void may have already been taken away.
