Chapter 630: The Feelings of the Heavenly Spirit God

Seeing that Gu An remained silent, Heavenly Spirit God did not disturb him. After all, the solution he proposed was not entirely foolproof. If Gu An rejected it, he wouldn’t be surprised. Before coming here, he had already considered every possibility.

Since he had decided to serve Gu An, he had to stand firm in his position and start thinking from Gu An’s perspective.

After a while.

Gu An asked, “How confident are you in getting Tian Hao into Ethereal Immortal Court?”

Heavenly Spirit God replied, “I have a close friend from Ethereal Immortal Court. Although his status isn’t high, helping Tian Hao enter the court wouldn’t be difficult. The rest would depend on Tian Hao’s own fortune. We can only guide him this far. His future depends on his own efforts.”

Gu An thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s see what he chooses.”

Heavenly Spirit God raised an eyebrow. “You want to tell him everything?”

“He’s grown up now,” Gu An said. “He has the right to choose his own fate. If we manipulate his life, then how are we any different from the Immortal Lords?”

Gu An’s response made Heavenly Spirit God see him in a new light.

It seemed that Gu An had no selfish interest in Tian Hao.

To act as he pleased and remain unafraid of the threats of Immortal Lords—this alone showed that Gu An had immense confidence in his strength.

Heavenly Spirit God nodded. “Understood. What do you need me to do?”

Gu An smiled. “Just keep doing what you were doing before.”

Heavenly Spirit God frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “You don’t think I’m qualified to help you?”

The thought of how he had lost to Gu An made his expression somewhat unnatural.

“Of course not,” Gu An said. “You are a Heavenly God. Your duty is to protect all living beings. I have no need for you to work for me right now. Your intentions, I have already received. In the future, I believe we will get along quite well.”

“As for those two Immortal Lords, if they come, you don’t need to step in. I have my own way to deal with them.”

Gu An’s words left Heavenly Spirit God feeling ashamed.

When Gu An forced him into reincarnation, he had always believed that Gu An did it merely to humiliate him—that Gu An wanted to break his pride and make him submit.

But now, it seemed that Gu An truly cared about the mortal realm.

What kind of mindset was this?

Heavenly Spirit God had met countless Immortal Gods, but none had ever reached Gu An’s level. Most Immortal Gods boasted of their righteousness and virtue, yet they treated mortals with cold indifference, believing it was fate’s decision whether they lived or died.

“Alright, we’ve discussed enough of these matters,” Gu An said with a grin. “We should enjoy our drinks. Recently, Qiankun Sect introduced a new form of opera—one that depicts mythical stories. The dialogues are especially filled with emotion, making them quite interesting. How about we go watch it together later?”

He poured another cup of wine for Heavenly Spirit God.

Heavenly Spirit God felt puzzled.

With their level of cultivation, how could a mortal opera be entertaining?

And why did they need to go in person? With their abilities, they could listen from here without ever moving.

But faced with Gu An’s invitation, he did not refuse.

To him, Gu An’s actions served two purposes: One was to show goodwill, and the other was that he likely had some deeper reason for doing this.

For the rest of the evening, the two only chatted about mundane topics.

Gradually, Heavenly Spirit God let go of his reservations.

But his thoughts drifted toward a certain woman in Qiankun Sect.

Years ago, the three of them had traveled the world together.

Now, they were in the same sect once more.

Even though he was a Heavenly God, he couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of nostalgia.

The news of the Innate Human Race's crushing defeat swept across the world like a storm. Dao Court actively spread the word, making sure that no one remained unaware.

A name that had been buried in legend once again surfaced in the ears of the people.

Sword Master of the Dao!

After extensive discussions, the Dao Court cross-referenced this event with ancient legends and came to the conclusion that the mysterious figure who had saved them could only be the legendary Sword Master of the Dao.

To the common folk, the name Sword Master of the Dao was ancient and distant. But for the great cultivators, it wasn’t so long ago. Back when the Great Thousand World had yet to reunite, even though they weren’t inside the Heavenly Spirit Great World, they had still sensed the boundless presence of Sword Master of the Dao. They knew that this legendary existence was real.

Not only that, but rumors about the relationship between Wushi and Sword Master of the Dao also began to circulate. However, since many sects claimed to have some connection to Sword Master of the Dao, the story didn’t cause much of a stir.

Time passed quickly.

A new year arrived.

Tian Hao returned to Qiankun Sect. Before he even stepped into Wushi Dao Field, he was summoned by Gu An. Following the voice, he made his way to the edge of a cliff and noticed that Gu An was not alone. Another person stood beside him, his back facing Tian Hao.

Upon seeing the back of this figure, Tian Hao couldn’t help but be stunned. His expression turned complicated.

This person was none other than Heavenly Spirit God.

From the very first glance, an indescribable emotion surged within Tian Hao.

At that moment, Gu An and Heavenly Spirit God turned around simultaneously. The sunlight illuminated their figures, casting an ethereal glow around them. Their presence seemed to merge with heaven and earth, making Tian Hao momentarily dazed.

He quickly snapped back to his senses and stepped forward, bowing respectfully to Gu An.

“I called you here today to tell you something. Just listen, don’t ask any questions until we’re done.”

Gu An’s tone was calm, but his words made Tian Hao feel even more confused.

Gu An began by revealing Tian Hao’s mortal lineage. When Tian Hao learned that the mysterious man beside Gu An was his biological father, his heart shook with disbelief. He instinctively wanted to ask more, but Gu An’s sharp gaze kept him silent.

After Gu An finished speaking, Heavenly Spirit God took over, explaining the Heavenly Dao karma tied to Tian Hao’s existence.

Ziwei Immortal Emperor, Heavenly Spirit Immortal Lord, Xuan Su Immortal Lord, Tai Yi Immortal Lord, Golden Extreme God, Jin Dong’s Seventy-Two Immortals…

One name after another rang in his ears, leaving Tian Hao feeling dizzy.

He never imagined that he carried such complex and terrifying karma.

But when he learned that in his past life, he had also been Gu An’s disciple, his emotions swelled.

A master-disciple bond that transcended reincarnation—how could that not move him?

Especially since he had always been the one protected.

Even after discovering that Heavenly Spirit God was his true father, Tian Hao still regarded Gu An as the most important and respected figure in his life.

An hour later.

Gu An and Heavenly Spirit God watched Tian Hao, waiting for his decision.

Tian Hao clenched his fists. His expression fluctuated between hesitation and determination before he finally took a deep breath and spoke:

“I choose to go to Ethereal Immortal Court. My troubles are mine to resolve. I can’t always rely on you two. I will prove my worth there. I will become an Immortal and stand above these Immortal Lords. No matter what their motives are, I will make them regret ever targeting me!”

He then looked up at Gu An, his eyes filled with unwavering resolve.

There was something he didn’t say out loud, but Gu An could hear it in his heart.

Gu An chuckled. “Then I’ll look forward to the day you surpass me. Hopefully, in the future, I can rely on you as my support.”

Tian Hao’s eyes widened, then he let out a sheepish laugh.

His master had once again seen through his thoughts!

Heavenly Spirit God watched Tian Hao’s interaction with Gu An and couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy.

Before he revealed the truth to Tian Hao, he had to admit that a part of him hoped Tian Hao would have some strong reaction.

He had expected shock, maybe even anger, but he never imagined that Tian Hao would be so calm.

It was as if…

He never cared about who his father was in the first place.
