Chapter 970: Master and Servant Recognize Each Other
"Well, I think things are pretty much settled here, aren't they?"
Gu Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had been intimidated for the time being.
He quickly gave the Will of the Burial Ground a look. Now that the procedure was over, he should see the guest out as soon as possible. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be exposed!
The will of the Burial Ground understood, and its majestic voice rang out again, but with a hint of imperceptible politeness: "Now that you have received the Venerable One's generous gift, the Ancestral Soul Trial ends here. The Burial Ground is about to close; leave quickly!"
As it spoke, thirteen spatial portals, each shimmering with a different luster, opened silently behind each of the dragon prodigies.
With this, the Ancestral Soul Trial is truly over.
"Thank you both, seniors!"
The dragon prodigies felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They kowtowed respectfully once more before carefully rising, clutching the "generous gift" tightly in their hands, especially the light yet incredibly heavy piece of paper, as they prepared to enter their respective spatial portals.
Passing through this portal will transport you out of the True Dragon Burial Ground.
Their elders must have been waiting for a long time, but this trial can be considered a complete success.
At least.
The rewards they received were definitely not bad!
Although it wasn't the "divine gift from the dragon god" I imagined, receiving a part of the secret diagram of destiny creation is not bad at all.
"Slow down."
The will of the burial soil calmly and slowly brought them to a halt.
The prodigies turned around, flattered and eagerly awaiting the leader's words.
"After you leave, the reward you receive shall be said to be 'a gift from the Dragon God,' and you shall not mention anything about what the Venerable One has given you."
"Keep your mouth shut and don't cause any trouble, understand?"
The cold and majestic words of the Burial Ground's Will were like invisible chains, instantly tightening the hearts of all the dragon prodigies.
The air seemed to freeze, with only the faint hum of the rotating portal remaining.
"Yes! I will remember this! I would never dare to reveal even a single word!"
Yang Zhun was the first to react, immediately bowing, his voice trembling slightly.
He knew the terror of the burial ground's will, and he understood even more the weight of the existence that made it give such a solemn account.
Dare to leak it?
That would be absolutely suicidal. The other prodigies also solemnly agreed, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.
They might still have guesses about Gu Heng's identity, but the will of the burial ground is an ironclad rule, especially at this moment when they have just experienced the baptism of shock and awe, they cannot be careless with their words.
Xingxia lowered her head even further, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
really.
There are very few humans who can make the will of the burial ground so wary of its existence.
It didn't want these geniuses participating in the Ancestral Soul Trial to reveal the situation, perhaps also to protect them, because knowing too much usually doesn't end well.
Xingxia even had this plan.
Because the "Great Enemy of the Era" was said to have been besieged by the supreme gods of seven civilizations and had long been completely annihilated.
But Xingxia would never have imagined that the human who appeared here now had a second identity!
So, regardless of the outcome of that earth-shattering battle, the bottom line is that the great enemy of the era is not only alive, but thriving!
If even seven gods combined couldn't defeat him, what about just one?
With this thought in mind, Xingxia felt a chill rush from her tailbone to the top of her head, and her dragon scales all over her body slightly bristled. She used all her strength to suppress the fear that came from the depths of her soul, as well as the dizziness brought about by uncovering a shocking secret.
"Go."
The voice of the burial ground's will returned to indifference.
Everything went according to plan.
Once these little dragon cubs are out there, as long as they keep their mouths shut, nothing will happen to them.
The elders of the clans outside probably wouldn't deliberately search the souls of these younger generations to investigate whether their destinies had been misaligned. They've done all they could.
The thirteen spatial portals flickered with light, urging us to leave.
With extremely complex emotions, each of the prodigies bowed deeply once again in the direction of Gu Heng and the will of the burial ground, then turned around without hesitation and stepped into the spatial vortex in front of them, their figures instantly swallowed by the light.
In a blink of an eye.
At the core of the Burial Ground, only Gu Heng, Gu Xitong, and the Will of the Burial Ground shrouded in blood clouds remain...
And Xiaobai.
"Ok?"
The will of the burial earth descended, its voice fierce and menacing: "Why don't you leave?"
Now that the other dragons had left, Xiao Bai stopped pretending. He had been silent and seemed out of place before, but it was all for this moment. Xiao Bai immediately revealed his true form and pounced on Gu Heng.
"Master! It's me!"
Gu Heng was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. The aloofness he had been trying to maintain as a "venerable one" instantly crumbled, leaving him only astonished.
Oh, it's actually Xiaobai?!
"Xiaobai, it really is you!"
"I felt like I recognized you when I was looking at you just now, but I wasn't sure if it was really you."
Gu Heng quickly hugged the little white dog that rushed towards him, a look of surprise and delight on his face.
This is definitely an unexpected surprise.
The silver-haired youth who didn't speak and seemed to have a dark and withdrawn personality only slightly resembled the boy in his memory.
Xiao Bai's human form is just a teenager. But Xiao Bai will grow up eventually.
He hadn't spent much time in the Epoch Graveyard, but that was only in his opinion. Time flowed much faster in the outside world, and he didn't know what he might miss...
Now, seeing Xiaobai's eyes, Gu Heng felt a sense of familiarity, mainly because of that yearning look, as if she had finally found her home after years of wandering...
He felt a little sorry for him.
Meanwhile, the Will of Burial Earth, with its indistinct blood-red body, visibly trembled violently.
Owner?
This fourth-class bloodline dragon from the Baifeng clan actually called this mysterious and unpredictable "human venerable one" its master.
The will to bury the earth instantly began to operate at high speed.
It had previously sensed that the dragon named "Bai Ling" exhibited unusual emotional fluctuations upon discovering Gu Heng's appearance. Unlike the initial confusion, fear, and awe of other prodigies, it displayed a deeper and more complex emotion.
But it never expected that it would be a master-servant relationship!
Moreover, judging from this situation, it was by no means an ordinary contractual relationship. The emotions in Bai Ling's eyes were so sincere that even this ancient will was moved.
"You have questions."
Suddenly, the Will of Burial Earth felt as if something was surrounding him.
It turned to look at itself.
Gu Xitong remained expressionless, her silver eyes calmly watching Gu Heng and Xiaobai reunite without any emotional fluctuation, as if the touching reunion before her had nothing to do with her.
Although she wasn't looking at him, the Will of Burial Earth inexplicably felt that he was enveloped by some kind of malice.
“I suggest you eliminate the question, otherwise I think you will try to find a way to answer it…” “In that case, I will have no choice but to eliminate you.”
Gu Xitong's pupils lingered on it for a fleeting moment.
"I have no doubt, really."
The will to bury the earth immediately crumbled.
"That's good."
"As the collective of countless dead souls, I believe you have a unique kind of awe for death."
Gu Xitong looked away.
At the same time, the oppressive feeling emanating from the will of the burial ground also disappeared.
