Chapter 1825 - 1425: The Name of the Constellation, Moon Goddess Posuo!

What made Gu Changsheng feel relieved was that before the Soul-Devouring Python’s aura was deprived from his body, he still managed to receive the message it transmitted!

The Soul-Devouring Python was fine, it was just...

Imprisoned by a mystical force!

All the weapon-like things on him had already left his side, so Gu Changsheng didn’t struggle anymore. When he heard the message from the Soul-Devouring Python, he just felt a momentary relief, then his heart was somewhat shocked!

"Originally, I thought Ta You was just a tool for the Tashi Tribe to flaunt divine rights, seeking fame. It seems I overthought it. As Landuoer said, this Ta You indeed has some skills!" Holding the slaughtering knife in his arms, Gu Changsheng looked at the trace of the Soul-Devouring Python disappearing from his wrist. Under the half-mask, his pretty face turned slightly cold, his expression was as frosty as the words he spoke.

It’s not scary to have weapons sucked away; others may not know, but Gu Changsheng certainly does. Most weapons in this era are iron products, and being sucked away under the influence of a magnetic field is scientifically explainable. Perhaps this tower wall made of copper and iron hides some magnets, who knows?

However, what made Gu Changsheng wary was his Soul-Devouring Python!

As the Lord of the Southern Border, Gu Changsheng understands more than anyone how difficult it is to strip a Gu insect that has already recognized its master from his body. It is a defiance of heaven, beyond human capability and not scientifically explainable!

Gu Changsheng frowned and sensed it. Within that holy golden mark at the center of his brow, the Manman Bug was still sleeping soundly, although being a sleepy bug is typical for Manman. Nevertheless, its presence has always been Gu Changsheng’s last life-saving charm!

Seeing it was unharmed, Gu Changsheng’s heart eased a little!

"The spirit communicators of the Northern Mongolian Land should not be underestimated. This Star Innate Tower indeed has no small amount of mysteries, we should proceed cautiously!" Shi Wujue continued to shake the folding fan in his hand. If one ignores his perpetually wickedly arched eyebrows and the sinister aura on his face, he indeed has the style of a person of great moral integrity.

But Gu Changsheng had no mood to care whether he was a person of great moral integrity or not, and started observing his surroundings again!

His gaze travelled over the people fighting below, along the spiral staircase in the middle of the first layer of the tower, and stopped at the top of the first layer. His phoenix eyes froze slightly...

At the wide top of the first layer, misty light shimmered, with stars speckling around, accentuating the crescent moon in the center, loftily in the sky. It was obviously just the top of the tower, but those stars seemed embedded in the void, realistically rendering one unable to look directly!

"Is this the origin of the Star Innate Tower?" Gu Changsheng murmured in awe, looking at the vast starlit scene.

He had always thought that the reason it was called the Star Innate Tower was just a name, but unexpectedly, within it lay profound secrets, and there were indeed stars and moon overhead!

If one ignored the sounds of fighting and the bloody smell around, Gu Changsheng could not help but think that he was standing under the starry sky!

This was simply a presence that could deceive reality!

"Indeed, this is the existence of the Star Innate Tower!" The Holy Envoy Child raised his head with Gu Changsheng, gazing at the starry moon at the top of the tower, speaking with indifferent calmness.

Zhou Mu looked up, staring at the starry moon at the top of the tower, with the face like a divine residence, extremely solemn.

By contrast, Shi Wujue only then noticed the same at the top of the tower. A look of amazement flashed through his long, narrow eyes, then he pondered briefly and spoke as if reminiscing, "In the late Ancient Wilderness, the world revered the gods, with True God Posuo presiding over the moon, controlling the moonrise and moonset across the world, overseeing the shift of stars, symbolizing hope in darkness, revered by all under heaven. The Southern Borderlands were overseen by the Insect God on the Moon God Tree, the Central Plains revered the Moon God, and the Northern Mongolian Land called it Longevity Heaven. It seems this legend is indeed true, the Longevity Heaven of the Northern Mongolian Land... hehe..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately turned his head, looking at Shi Wujue with uncertainty.

Gu Changsheng had always known of Shi Wujue’s vast knowledge, but the Ancient Wilderness period had long been buried in the annals of history, yet he remembered it so clearly!

However, these legends, she had not heard of!

"The Moon God is actually called Posuo?" Gu Changsheng murmured quietly at Shi Wujue, not knowing why a wave of emotional ripples arose in his heart, so brief that Gu Changsheng even failed to perceive it.

"Yes, True God Posuo, the only True Goddess in the late Ancient Wilderness. It is a pity that although she held the status of a goddess, she fell in love with a mortal and ultimately became a Fallen God, shedding tears in the ancient Loulan country..." A hint of pain flashed in Shi Wujue’s long and narrow eyes...

Then...

Then the land once favored by the gods was ravaged by an irreparable calamity, since then, redemption was out of reach!

The Moon Goddess Posuo, the god their ancient country once worshiped, and now the god they are compelled to worship...

Who can understand the bitterness of it all?

The pain in Shi Wujue’s eyes fell into Gu Changsheng’s sight. Gu Changsheng’s long lashes fluttered slightly, assuming that he felt regret only because the legend spoke of a lofty goddess meeting such a tragic end...

Gu Changsheng didn’t think much of it, but Zhou Mu turned his head, looking at Shi Wujue, with a meaningful thought in his deep gaze resembling a cold pool...

Are these legends just legends?

If so, why was he not aware of them?

As a member of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, everything recorded in the imperial secret texts was well known to him; however, Zhou Mu was very sure that he had never seen anything about these things anywhere!

In this world, are there some matters that perhaps only Shi Wujue knows?

How is it that the Master of Linyuan City, Shi Wujue, and the Shi Family ultimately stand above the existence of the former Four Kingdoms?

Is it possible that the Shi Family’s legacy is indeed older than all the tomes of the world?

Zhou Mu was merely puzzled, but being as composed as he was, he ultimately did not ask anything!

Shi Wujue has done them a favor, Changsheng treats him like family, the feelings he has for Changsheng, Zhou Mu sees clearly, a man’s pride and intuition make Zhou Mu very sure that this man, besides himself, is the person on this earth least likely to harm Changsheng!

In that case, since he doesn’t want to speak, then he will not ask!

A lifetime can be very long, and since they are already entangled, then he has all the time to wait for the day Shi Wujue is willing to be open and frank!

"What legends or not, gods or not, have nothing to do with us; what matters most to us now is how to ascend this Nine-layered Star Innate Tower!" It must be said, Gu Changsheng has always been a person with a big heart; in just a moment, those distant and unfathomable legends were completely forgotten by him. He waved his slaughtering knife with great boldness and said, "I see the staircase on the first layer isn’t that easy to climb either; let’s retreat to the wall and wait!"

"Huh? Retreat to the wall and wait? Mistress, this won’t do; can we let others get the first fruits of victory? Mistress, don’t worry, having no inner strength doesn’t matter, Yuan Bao is big, Yuan Bao will pave the way for you!" Upon hearing the words, Yuan Bao was immediately astonished. What legends or not, he wasn’t interested. He only cared about letting his master’s lord and mistress be at ease!

His master’s lord and mistress wanting to ascend the tower meant that even if it cost him his whole body of flesh, he would cooperate with all his might!

Even if this Star Innate Tower was indeed a bit eerie, making Yuan Bao feel a bit scared!

"Smack!"

Yuan Bao had just finished speaking when he received a slap on his head.

Yuan Bao covered his head in grievance.

"Are you stupid? What matters in the end is who climbs the highest, not who climbs the fastest! It’s a pity to have raised all this fat and yet focus on rushing towards a certain death!" With a pout, Gu Changsheng looked at Yuan Bao with a face full of disdain, yet he enjoyed Yuan Bao’s wronged expression immensely.

Bullying Yuan Bao is the most fun thing to do!

Truly, one never gets tired of it!

"Mistress, you’re hitting me... boohoo..." Yuan Bao teared up, did he do something wrong?

"Hitting you is giving you face, hmph, others rush up to let me hit them, and I’m not willing!" With a large roll of his eyes, Gu Changsheng was the first to retreat to the wall...

At this time, it’s impossible to ascend the tower; it’s become a chaotic mess, and she wasn’t going to join in for the excitement!

Sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight is something Gu Changsheng still finds quite pleasant; reaping the benefits without effort is something Gu Changsheng likes even more!

Let those fighting their brains out test the path first; they’ll follow along afterward!

"Mistress, are we really just going to wait here?" The mountainous Yuan Bao, leaning against the wall, unloaded his belongings, looked at the melee around the central staircase, and asked nervously, his scalp tingling.

"Yes, wait for them to clear the way, and then we’ll go up!" Gu Changsheng nodded and said, not having the panic from just entering the Star Innate Tower, but becoming increasingly steady.

This is how she is; though she has a hot temper, at times like this, she could still endure and remain unfazed!

Mainly, even if surprised, there is no real use!

Everyone was scrambling towards the central staircase, hoping to fight their way to the second floor first. There really weren’t many who thought to shrink to the walls and reap the rewards!

For example, Diluo Han was one of them!

Gu Changsheng glanced at Diluo Han, a slight curl on her lips; it seems this boor isn’t a total fool; having once reached the third layer of the Star Innate Tower wasn’t just an empty reputation, he actually had some skills!

Aside from Diluo Han, there are several others, all able to hold their temper, among them some speaking with Diluo Han, obviously looking up to him!

Gu Changsheng watched for a while, found it boring, and shifted her gaze to those in the melee.

At this moment, the first floor of the Star Innate Tower had clearly become a purgatory of sorts, with only those standing engaged in combat, and those lying down being the dead...
