Chapter 1072 [Ancient Juechen 13]
Qiongqi pounced towards the God Realm with great momentum. Its power was like an overwhelming tidal wave. Although the gods fought hard, they were still unable to withstand Qiongqi's fierce attack.
Just as the gods were gradually losing their strength and Qiongqi was about to break through the defense line, a dazzling light suddenly fell from the sky. Everyone looked closely and saw Shanggu, wearing the power of chaos, like a god of war, holding an ancient imperial sword and standing steadily in front of everyone.
After thousands of years of experience, Shang Gu has been reborn and is no longer the innocent little girl she was back then. Her eyes and eyebrows reveal an innate majesty and domineering power, as if she is the master of this world, and no one can infringe on her majesty.
Shang Gu was alone, using the ancient emperor sword as a weapon, and easily broke through Qiongqi's attack. Her swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water, and each sword contained endless power, making Qiongqi's attack seem vulnerable in front of her. Not only that, Shang Gu also successfully resisted Mo Yu's various moves, showing her superb fighting skills and powerful strength.
After seeing Shang Gu's heroic performance, the gods finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were deeply impressed by Shang Gu's strength and bowed to her, calling her the Lord God. Even the other three true gods performed the ceremony of the Lord God to show their respect for Shang Gu.
However, Youyou did not bow like the others. After all, as the mother of the earth, Nuwa had an extremely high status, and not everyone could bear to kneel down to her.
In the pilgrimage hall, Shang Gu told the other three true gods about her experience in Jiuyou. She described in detail the challenges and difficulties she encountered and how she overcame them. Finally, she also told everyone that she would soon officially take over the Lord God Order and become the new Lord God.
After Shang Gu returned to the Pilgrimage Temple, she expressed her gratitude to Wu Huan. For thousands of years, Wu Huan had been taking care of the Pilgrimage Temple with all her heart, and Shang Gu naturally remembered this contribution. However, Shang Gu also noticed that Wu Huan's spiritual power was still low, and she earnestly advised Wu Huan to practice diligently and work hard to improve her divine power.
During this long millennium, Wuhuan seemed to be in an illusory dream. She always believed that she was the master of the Pilgrimage Temple, but when Shanggu returned, she woke up from the dream and realized that she was just a passer-by.
Shanggu specially prepared a grand banquet to celebrate Yuemi's 100,000th birthday. Yuemi happily invited Wuhuan to entertain the gods at the banquet on her behalf, and she took Shanggu to the quiet and mysterious Taoyuan Forest.
At the same time, Bai Jue also brought You You down to the mortal world, and they happened to catch the Qiqiao Festival being held in the lower world. The streets and alleys were decorated with lights and it was very lively. People put beautiful lotus lanterns in the river. Bai Jue and You You also joined in. Together, they gently put the lotus lanterns in their hands into the river and watched them slowly float away with the current.
On this romantic night, Bai Jue took out the hairpin he had carved himself and carefully inserted it into Youyou's hair. He looked at Youyou tenderly and whispered, "Sangsang, I like you."
Youyou was slightly startled, then raised her head, stared into Bai Jue's eyes, and asked, "What do you like about me?"
Bai Jue smiled slightly and answered without hesitation: "I like everything about you." His eyes were sincere and affectionate, as if he wanted to engrave every detail of Youyou in his heart.
"I like you too." Youyou said softly.
Before she finished her words, Bai Jue's arms had already hugged her tightly, holding her petite body completely in his arms.
Bai Jue lowered his head and whispered softly in Youyou's ear: "Sangsang, since we are already together, when are we going to get married? I have prepared the betrothal gifts and can propose at any time."
Youyou raised her head and looked at Bai Jue in surprise, "When did you prepare this? How come I didn't know anything about it."
Bai Jue smiled and said, "A thousand years is enough time for me to prepare these." His eyes revealed a kind of firmness and confidence that made Youyou unable to help but fall for him.
"Okay, so you've had this idea in mind for a long time." Youyou said coquettishly, "But Bai Jue, I seem to have been raised by you. Aren't you afraid that other people in the God Realm will gossip about me?"
Bai Jue shook his head gently, "Don't be afraid. You are you, I am me, we are upright, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, I was the one who fell in love with you first, this is the relationship between us, it has nothing to do with others."
"Okay, but do I have to build a mansion first? Otherwise, where will I get married?" Youyou said softly.
“Or you can marry from Lookout Mountain, since that’s your birthplace anyway, and marry into Changyuan Palace.” Bai Jue said after thinking for a while.
"I'm fine with either. Bai Jue, you decide." You You said with a smile, then hid in Bai Jue's arms.
"Okay, when I get back I'll let Zhiyang Tianqi and the others discuss it and set a good date." Bai Jue said.
Youyou nodded.
Youyou and Baijue played in the human world until midnight before returning to the realm of the gods.
At the entrance of Changyuan Palace, Xueying leaned outside and saw Youyou and Baijue finally came back. Xueying said resentfully, "Master, you went out to play without me. That's too much."
"I'll definitely take you next time." Youyou promised.
"Then my lord, you must keep your word." Xue Ying glared at Bai Jue proudly.
"Sangsang, don't bring her. Don't bring her to our date." Bai Jue said, pulling Youyou's sleeve.
