I'm the emperor from the start, and you want me to keep the three-year agreement?

Learning that War God Ares had been defeated by a Zorro Star expert, Lin Ning, bringing Yanhuang Taichu, arrived at the Divine Firmament Limitless Palace in surprise.

At this moment, two groups of people were seated in the main hall.

On one side were the Zorro Star experts, totaling twelve people.

On the other side were the experts within the Celestial Court who held divine positions and whose cultivation and status ranked among the foremost.

Seated above the dragon throne was the Ancestral God.

At this moment, the Ancestral God had a faint smile on his face.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Ancestral God was somewhat angered.

The Zorro Star True God had come to the Celestial Court and even defeated the War God!

Among those present, no one actually dared to step forward and accept the challenge!

"Lin Muli, Taichu boy, you two have arrived."

When Lin Ning and the other person entered the main hall, they were not stopped by the divine guards outside but were allowed to enter.

The Ancestral God glanced at the two and said, "Someone, grant them seats."

On the Celestial Court's side, after the deities saw the two arrive, expressions of shock appeared on their faces one after another, and along with the surprise, there was a hint of excitement.

"They've finally arrived! I wasn't wrong about them!"

"These deities from Zorro Star cultivate bizarre techniques, and both Lin and Yan Huang have also mastered extremely bizarre techniques, so perhaps there's a chance!"

"Hmph! I really didn't expect the War God to lose to Zorro Star; we actually have to rely on these two youngsters who don't even have divine positions!"

Most of the deities present had conflicting thoughts in their hearts.

On one hand, they hoped Lin Ning and Yanhuang Taichu could defeat these extraterrestrial True Gods and bring glory to the Celestial Court.

On the other hand, regardless of whether the two of them lacked divine positions or the conflict between the Star Alliance and the Heavenly Saint Alliance, they all hoped the Zorro Star deities could severely defeat Lin and Yan Huang.

These two conflicting thoughts, after surfacing in their minds, made them feel extremely tormented and itchy all over.

"Thank you, Ancestral God."

Lin Ning cupped his hands, and as he sat down, his peripheral vision inadvertently spotted a familiar face.

Turning his head to look at Ling Gui who was seated, Lin Ning was stunned for a while.

"How did Senior Brother Ling Gui also come to the Celestial Court?"

Sitting down, he took a deep breath, his mind constantly thinking about this matter.

"Didn't Senior Brother Ling Gui go back to the Spirit Race? He even said at the time that when he left the Spirit Race, he would first return to the Star Alliance to discuss the changes of these past days with me."

On the Celestial Court's side, Lin Ning and the other person were seated on the outermost side, while Ling Gui was seated closer to the Ancestral God.

If he didn't have a divine position, it would be impossible to sit there!!

Lin Ning knew that although Ling Gui, who had become a god, had already eliminated the inner barrier and become the pride of the Spirit Race just like his brother.

But!

Ling Gui, like him, loved freedom and would not possibly join the Celestial Court or be subject to its control.

Before leaving, Ling Gui also stated that he preferred to be a free person and not join the Celestial Court.

How is it that after not seeing each other for a while, Ling Gui suddenly changed his mind, obtained a divine position, and judging by his seat, was highly valued by the Ancestral God!

"Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Gui, the light is gone from his eyes."

Yanhuang Taichu leaned closer and whispered, "Did he experience something during this time?"

Hearing Yanhuang Taichu's words, Lin Ning finally paid attention to Ling Gui's state.

There was no smile on his face, and not a trace of light in his dark eyes, looking like an ox or horse after suffering from work pressure.

"Don't overthink it, he's probably just tired."

Lin Ning smiled.

Opposite them.

The Zorro Star True God's fighting intent soared to the heavens.

"Lord Ancestral God, we have come across the star domain, hoping to exchange techniques with you."

Jiang Zhangmen of Zorro Star said with a mocking gaze, "Our warrior A Tao Shang still has many techniques he wishes to demonstrate."

"I wonder if there are any more deities from the Celestial Court who wish to exchange?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Celestial Court deities exchanged glances.

Seeing that no one stepped forward, the smile on Jiang Zhangmen's face became even brighter, "Heh heh, Lord Ancestral God, I'm not intentionally mocking your Celestial Court."

"But, besides you, there really is no one with this strength!"

Jiang Zhangmen directly mocked the Celestial Court deities as trash in front of the Ancestral God.

Although the Ancestral God was angered, he did not make any move.

Although he was far away in the Divine Firmament Limitless Palace, matters of sending troops to attack planets were all left to Ares, Asura, and others.

However, the Ancestral God knew that in the star domain right next to them, Zorro Star was the strongest.

The opponent's Supreme God was no weaker than the Ancestral God, and might even be considerably stronger than the Ancestral God!

Zorro Star was very similar to the Celestial Court; they were brave and skilled in battle, and good at expanding their territory.

"This is too much!"

"I must properly teach you Zorro Star what respect is!"

Naris True God suddenly stood up.

"Good!"

The surrounding deities all cheered after seeing him stand up.

Finally, someone is going to their death... no, finally, someone is taking action for our Celestial Court!

"Naris True God, please beat them up severely!"

"It's time to let these extraterrestrial deities witness the power of our Celestial Court!"

Although Naris True God's reputation in the Celestial Court was not as great as that of Ares, the War God, his strength was also not to be underestimated.

It was rumored that Naris had sparred with Ares many times before, and their skill levels were evenly matched.

Although Ares was defeated by the opponent, the Celestial Court True Gods believed that this might be due to unfamiliarity with the opponent's technique.

If someone with a similar skill level were to go, there might be a different outcome.

Naris cupped his hands, "Senior Brother, please."

"Please." A Tao Shang True God cupped his hands.

The Ancestral God waved his hand, creating an illusory defensive wall around the two.

As long as their power did not exceed the Ancestral God's, and they could not break this defense, it would not affect others.

Naris was the first to attack; he conjured a thousand layers of clones, making it dazzling to the eye and impossible to distinguish which one was the main body and which was a clone.

"Kill!"

Naris let out a loud shout, and the axe in his hand abruptly fell.

"Senior Brother, times have changed."

A Tao Shang sneered, his eyes suddenly snapped open, his black pupils abruptly turned blue, and a powerful mental fluctuation was instantly released.

Naris felt his head buzzing, and his body swayed unsteadily.

And the clones around him were also affected, as if controlled by A Tao Shang, unable to distinguish between friend and foe.

"Bang bang bang!"

The clones fought among themselves, causing Naris's expression to change drastically.

"I found you."

A Tao Shang revealed a bizarre smile; he had found Naris's main body and was constantly closing in.

A dagger quietly appeared in his hand, and A Tao Shang fiercely stabbed towards Naris's throat.

"Not good!"

Naris quickly summoned his clones to block the opponent's attack.

"Bang!"

A Tao Shang suddenly delivered a kick, sending Naris flying onto the air wall.

Naris did a carp-like flip and stood up aggressively, "Again!"

"What a bizarre technique."

The Celestial Court True Gods exchanged glances.

"What technique is this A Tao Shang actually using? It can actually interfere with a True God's mind!"

"This technique is so bizarre; there isn't any spiritual energy fluctuation when he uses it. What does he rely on?"

Ares looked at A Tao Shang with a solemn expression; his arm was still dripping blood, and even though the Ancestral God had already healed him, it could not fully recover.

"This guy, what's powerful isn't just this bizarre technique, but also that knife."

Ares murmured, "His knife has a great restraining effect on us deities."

The recovery ability of deities' bodies is very strong.

However, A Tao Shang's knife was a weapon that deities greatly feared.

It was like the grievous wound weapons in some games, specifically countering tanks with high recovery effects.

Just when Ares was struck in the arm by that strange knife, Ares felt a surge of energy drill into his arm, flow through his entire body, and finally completely dissipate, unable to be captured.

"Clang clang clang!"

In the center of the main hall, Naris's momentum was like a rainbow; he seized A Tao Shang's weakness and attacked relentlessly, forcing the latter to retreat repeatedly.

"Well done!"

"Yes, teach him the technique like this, let him taste our Celestial Court's combat skills!"

Opposite the Celestial Court, Jiang Zhangmen and the surrounding deities wore smiles.

"Heh heh, he fell for it." Jiang Zhangmen said.

"Those ignorant ones from the Celestial Court always think they have gained the upper hand, but in reality, they have completely fallen into A Tao Shang's trap."

Jiang Zhangmen was full of confidence; he rested his chin in his hand and watched the duel between the two lazily.

A Tao Shang in the center of the main hall seemed to have disordered footwork, but each of his positions was extremely peculiar.

By the time Naris realized something was wrong, it was too late.

"Not good!"

Sensing that the surrounding spiritual energy was being stripped away, Naris's expression changed drastically.

Just as he was attacking A Tao Shang, an invisible cage had already been set up without anyone noticing.

"Heh heh, I forgot to tell you, besides being a warrior, I am also an array master."

A Tao Shang took a step back; Naris's attack was completely blocked by this invisible cage.

Immediately after, A Tao Shang floated up, and clones separated from his main body one by one.

Each clone held an Blazing Sun Bow, aiming at Naris.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Naris was put on the defensive; his defense was not airtight, allowing A Tao Shang to find an opening and stab him in the back with an arrow.

"You lost."

A Tao Shang raised the Blazing Sun Bow high.

"Good!"

Jiang Zhangmen clapped and cheered, "As expected of our Zorro Star warrior, A Tao Shang, you did well!"

Opposite them, the Celestial Court True Gods had gloomy faces.

Defeated again.

Another True God was defeated by Zorro Star.

"Is there anyone else from your side who wants to come forward?" A Tao Shang asked.

"I still have many moves that all Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters can learn." A Tao Shang smiled.

The Ancestral God's gaze swept over everyone, and no one spoke.

He saw.

The Ancestral God saw that Ling Gui was shaking his head.

At the same time, Jiang Zhangmen and the other Zorro Star experts also noticed this.

"Senior Brother, are you looking down on our Zorro Star, or are you expressing disappointment in your own people?"

Jiang Zhangmen laughed.

Following his gaze, everyone looked over.

For a moment, Ling Gui became the focus of the entire hall.

"Ling Gui? He's shaking his head?"

"What does he want to express? Is he looking down on our Celestial Court?"

"Heh, I knew it; when the Ancestral God invited him, he was very reluctant. If Senior Brother Ling Yi hadn't been there, he definitely wouldn't have joined the Celestial Court. I think, he clearly looks down on us!"

"I heard he even fought with Senior Brother Ling Yi, and the result is unknown. It's clear that this guy is too arrogant; he can't even stand a good person like Senior Brother Ling Yi."

The Ancestral God looked at Ling Gui and asked, "Ling Gui, do you want to make a move?"

At the same time, A Tao Shang held the Thousand Wounds Sword, pointed at Ling Gui, and said, "Senior Brother, are you interested in sparring with me?"

"If you don't dare, it's fine; you're not the first coward anyway."

Under everyone's gaze, Ling Gui slowly stood up.

The cloak draped over his body fell onto the chair; Ling Gui held a wine cup in his left hand and walked towards A Tao Shang with an indifferent expression.

"Senior Brother, do you want to spar with me using only one hand?"

A Tao Shang's face turned cold; the opponent was too arrogant, clearly not putting him in his eyes!

Ling Gui did not answer A Tao Shang's question.

He drank the wine in one gulp, and only then did he speak: "Before the wine cup lands, I can take your head."

"What a boastful tone!" A Tao Shang's face gradually darkened, "If Senior Brother cannot do it, what then?"

"If I can't, you can just have my head." Ling Gui said indifferently; his life seemed to be of no great importance.

"Alright! Just as you say!" A Tao Shang thought to himself, "Let's see how I deal with you later."

Ling Gui's words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Kill A Tao Shang before the wine cup lands?"

The Celestial Court True Gods all felt that Ling Gui was crazy.

"How is this possible! What level is A Tao Shang at? Even War God Ares and Naris couldn't defeat him."

"Ling Gui must be crazy. I heard that since he came to the Celestial Court these past two days, he's only been drinking, with no other activities besides that. Is he drunk?"

"What an arrogant fellow! Young and reckless, he will pay a price, the price of his life!"

Yanhuang Taichu shook Lin Ning's arm and said anxiously, "Senior Brother, what do we do? Senior Brother Gui actually made a bet on the spot! If he loses, won't he lose his life!"

Lin Ning's expression was solemn as he said, "Since Ling Gui dared to say that, he should be very confident in himself. All we can do is trust him."

Should they really trust Ling Gui?

Lin Ning also felt a bead of sweat for the other person in his heart.

Amidst the crowd's discussions, Ling Gui tossed the wine cup into the air.

"Senior Brother, please excuse me." The moment A Tao Shang saw the wine cup tossed up, he immediately launched his attack.

Ling Gui stood quietly in place, as if he had anticipated that the opponent would make the first move.

He made no move, but quietly waited for the opponent to arrive.

"Arrogant brat, watch how my Thousand Wounds Sword severs your head." A Tao Shang roared in his heart.

A Tao Shang drew his sword, struck with his sword, and his body brushed past Ling Gui; the entire process was completed in one go, the movements were smooth, without any sloppiness.

In contrast, Ling Gui made no movement throughout the entire process, from the opponent's attack beginning to end, like a wooden dummy.

It was hard not to suspect that he was stunned by A Tao Shang's momentum.

Thud!

Suddenly, a dull sound rang out, and a head fell onto the ground.

And this head was not what people had expected.

This head was not Ling Gui's, but A Tao Shang's.

A Tao Shang stood still on the spot like a headless knight, holding the Thousand Wounds Sword in his hand.

One second, two seconds.

Two seconds passed, and A Tao Shang's body fell to the ground, blood spraying out.

Ling Gui slowly extended his hand and steadily caught the wine cup.

His gaze swept over the location of the Celestial Court True Gods, then swept towards the Zorro Star True Gods.

Ling Gui shook his head, "Boring."
