Chapter 1943 - 1529: As If in a Dream, Leaving the Tower!

Everyone says it’s easy to climb up a mountain but hard to descend, and Gu Changsheng originally thought that ascending the tower would be the same!

However, that wasn’t the case. Until Gu Changsheng and the group emerged from the Star Innate Tower, seeing daylight, he still felt somewhat clouded and confused!

"Did we really just come out like this?" Standing outside the Star Innate Tower, Gu Changsheng turned around and looked at the towering structure, with a bewildered expression.

No one answered her because even Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue felt this was not entirely real.

"Is Ta You really dead? Did we really just come out like this?" Gu Changsheng blinked again, still disbelieving that happiness arrived so easily, especially since she still held the Gilded Geographical Map given by Holy Envoy Child, and at her brow, the sleeping Dandan Bug now possessed a Divine Body.

That was the Divine Body Dandan Bug had longed for a long time!

Did we really acquire it so easily and inexplicably?

Still, no one answered Gu Changsheng’s question. Zhou Mu simply gave the Star Innate Tower a deep gaze, cradled Gu Changsheng, and turned to go back to the inn where they previously stayed.

A string of people followed behind their group...

Qiwowen Du and his three servants remaining didn’t seem unreasonable, since he had an engagement with Diao Chan, who worked under Gu Changsheng. But seeing the expression, it appeared that even Diluo Han and others had no intention of leaving...

This year’s Blessing Festival and Star Innate Tower trials began as spectacularly as ever but ended quite uneventfully!

There was no fortune found through peril, nor did the Chief of Tashi come to bestow supreme glory. Gu Changsheng and the group left the Star Innate Tower rather disheartened, returning to the inn.

Only upon returning to the inn, seeing the well-cared-for coffin beside her chamber, did Gu Changsheng finally come to her senses...

They’d come out of the Star Innate Tower!

Having survived so many perils, they were left injured all over!

However, when Gu Changsheng tried to recall the cause of her injuries, she could only feel perplexed, for she still didn’t know, in the Sixth Layer of the Star Innate Tower, what exactly happened that injured her so severely.

Black Man Duo Shu had dutifully waited outside the Star Innate Tower for over half a month until he finally saw Gu Changsheng and others return safely. This was the first time Black Man Duo Shu looked at Gu Changsheng with such earnestness...

Especially seeing Gu Changsheng severely injured, while their City Lord remained unscathed, Black Man Duo Shu suddenly felt perhaps Gu Changsheng wasn’t so disagreeable after all!

At the very least, in times of crisis, it was Gu Changsheng who stood up!

It must be said, Black Man Duo Shu overthought it, because if Gu Changsheng knew this was why she received such earnest attention from Black Man Duo Shu, she would certainly cough up three litres of blood!

Once everyone had returned to their room, washed off their fatigue and came out, sure enough, Black Man Duo Shu promptly followed...

"City Lord, how did the trip to the Star Innate Tower go this time? Did you have any gains?" Outsiders didn’t know Ta You’s abilities, but Duo Shu had always been wary of Ta You.

Nevertheless, Ta You’s ability to keep their Ancient Country’s spies unaware was enough to prove his exceptional skill.

Shi Wujue heard Duo Shu’s words, his snowy white hair slightly drooping, silent, as the memory forgotten by all swept through his mind again...

At the end of the Ancient Wilderness Times, Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness...

This memory now solely belonged to Shi Wujue and Zhou Mu!

"City Lord?" Black Man Duo Shu, seeing his master ignoring him, shifted his gaze to Gu Changsheng. Generally speaking, Gu Changsheng was quite talkative. He had waited outside so long, eagerly hoping to know what situation they encountered in the Star Innate Tower...

Gu Changsheng received Duo Shu’s gaze, couldn’t help but twitch her mouth, pondered for a moment, then said, "Well... actually, to be honest, for the first five layers of the Star Innate Tower, my memory is quite vivid. But from the Sixth Layer onwards, I’m still completely puzzled..."

Gu Changsheng felt her head aching as she spoke...

Truly, passing the first five layers of the Star Innate Tower was undeniably challenging, but somehow everything changed after the Sixth Layer...

It was as smooth as the heavens being envious of human grievance!

If Ta You were still alive, Gu Changsheng would genuinely want to ask him if this was considered starting strong but ending weak, an uneventful conclusion?

Dang it, the first half was a struggle, but the latter half simply didn’t have one...

This...

However, Ta You is already dead, and at this moment, the Star Innate Tower is long deserted, empty of people!

For some reason, whenever Gu Changsheng thought of that solitary tower again, she felt an inexplicable sadness, as if the tower was only complete with Ta You inside, and without him, the Star Innate Tower seemed filled with undescribed sorrow...

Gu Changsheng didn’t know where these emotions came from. Originally, she could not have been more resentful towards Ta You. Perhaps it was because she had hurt her Divine Soul this time, making it easy for her mind to wander...

Gu Changsheng and the others were vague in their words, but those who went through the Star Innate Tower trial alongside Gu Changsheng, such as Diluo Han and others, did not leave...

Originally, they were merely hired laborers by Gu Changsheng, responsible for carrying the sacks for her...

But now, knowing Gu Changsheng’s identity and hearing about Ta You’s death, their already hesitant hearts were even less inclined to leave...

Ta You was the treasure of the Tashi Tribe, and they had gone to the Star Innate Tower where the treasure, the Divine Residence of Tashi, had directly perished. This situation was quite a something...

Not to mention riches and honors, whether they could leave the Tashi Tribe safely was still a question!

Having lost the Spiritual Child Ta You, if they were the Clan Leader of Tashi Tribe, they too would be furious and might take action against those who dared the tower trial!

After all, they were the last group to enter the Star Innate Tower before Ta You’s death.

Diluo Han and others felt slightly on edge and could only cling to Gu Changsheng, hoping to leave the Tashi Tribe safely...

Just before Gu Changsheng left the Star Innate Tower, a storm brewed in the Royal Palace of the Tashi Tribe!

"What did you say? Ta You is dead?" Chief of Tashi Tribe Tashi Huoding looked at the Holy Envoy Child that appeared abruptly in front of him, his aged face pale, coughing urgently.

In this instant, Tashi Huoding felt the world spin, as if the surroundings were not an ornate palace, but a wasteland!

Ta You!

Their Spiritual Child of the Tashi Tribe, their amulet!

Dead?

How could that child, cold since childhood and daunting, die?

Although lacking much familial love, Ta You was Tashi Huoding’s grandson. Hearing such bad news suddenly, Tashi Huoding’s feelings were very complex...

"The Holy Master has died. After Gu Changsheng and others leave the tower, the Star Innate Tower will be permanently sealed. Before his death, the Holy Master asked me to tell the Clan Leader that his gratitude will always be remembered, and the daughter of the Tashi Tribe, Talan Duoer, will surely uphold the tribe for a hundred years of prosperity!" Holy Envoy Child said emotionlessly while looking at Tashi Huoding in front of him, unaffected by the atmosphere, and sternly said, "Take care, Clan Leader..."

After saying this, the Holy Envoy Child turned and disappeared in the Royal Palace of the Tashi Tribe.

Tashi Huoding looked at the empty palace, his expression fluctuating wildly at times, nearly hysterically roaring, "At least tell me how Ta You died? Should I avenge him!"

Ta You was Tashi Huoding’s grandson, but Tashi Huoding had always known Ta You was no ordinary person. Now, with the sudden loss of Ta You, this amulet, Tashi Huoding didn’t know what to do!

"The mission is over, no need to linger, fate determined by the heavens, the Clan Leader should act as if the Holy Master never existed..."

The sound of the Holy Envoy Child echoed faintly in Tashi Huoding’s ears, thereafter no matter how he shouted, there was no response...

Tashi Huoding slumped on the ground for a long time, finally accepting the reality that from now on, the Tashi Tribe would no longer have the protection of Spiritual Child Ta You...

"Spread the order, command Landuoer to return to the tribe immediately..." Recalling the words of the Holy Envoy Child before leaving, Tashi Huoding seemed to age instantly, dispiritedly saying.

Without Ta You, Talan Duoer was their Tashi Tribe’s last hope, his daughter, who was not lacking in wisdom and resourcefulness...

Thus, when Diluo Han and others, hundreds of people, temporarily stayed at the inn where Gu Changsheng was lodging, living in fearful suspense, afraid that in the next moment, the Tashi Tribal Leader would take action, sending troops to siege them, Gu Changsheng was healing inside the inn, while through Black Man Duo Shu’s mouth, she inquired everything that happened during her more than half-month in the Star Innate Tower...

Gu Changsheng and others had left the main forces heading north towards Southern Country, this matter involved three parties who were tacitly aware, North Mongolia Royal City dispatched troops to besiege the Tashi Tribe, Talan Duoer led troops to maneuver with them. However, neither side broke into a major battle and Borjigin Nian seemingly knew that his matters in the Tashi Tribe were not going smoothly, so the march north was quite slow. Until this moment, they had only left Yanmen Pass about a thousand miles, the speed could be described as turtlespeed...

Everything was within expectations, yet also beyond expectations!

Ordered by Zhou Mu, who demanded she rest in bed, Gu Changsheng tapped Zhou Mu’s thigh more determinedly and said, "It seems Fufeng Tianlan truly knows what we are seeking, and his purpose seems to coincide with ours..."
