I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

really.

Gu Heng knew that Gu Ce would definitely go all out, and this really proved his guess!

Previously, their target was the national destiny of the Qinggu Divine Kingdom; this time, they have directly set their sights on the Qinggu Divine Lord himself.

Although it wasn't meant for him to directly confront that Divine Lord, this was clearly crossing the line with the Azure Ancient Divine Lord, and jumping around so happily would probably attract a lot of hatred.

"It's not difficult for the Imperial Advisor to manage things?"

Gu Heng looked quite suspicious.

"Don't be nervous, this is not difficult."

Gu Ce raised his hand and gestured for him to calm down. "I will arrange everything outside in advance. You only need to do one thing, which is to give our Emperor a little 'surprise'."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng still didn't quite believe it.

It doesn't feel right.

It's definitely not that easy; anything that can be associated with the God-King is bound to be a good thing!

"Why me? You should have plenty of people under you who can put on this act."

"Because only a great enemy of an era has the power to harm a divine lord."

Gu Ce said frankly, "You are our handpicked candidate. Since you are the one to impersonate the great enemy of the era, it is naturally the most convincing person to take action. No one else is qualified."

These words sounded like a compliment, but Gu Heng felt a chill run down his spine.

I have a feeling that I'm trapped.

Gu Heng stared into Gu Ce's eyes, trying to find a flaw: "Then what is it for this time?"

"It just doesn't feel like it fits our plans."

Ultimately, Gu Ce's plan was to lure out and eliminate the rebels of the Dark Realm, but targeting Qing Gu Shenjun was certainly not part of this plan.

Stab the ruler of a dynasty, who holds divine authority, in the back; this seems more like the Grand Preceptor's personal motive.

"Create chaos to make certain people hiding in the shadows believe that the Qinggu Divine Kingdom is too fragile, and they will naturally take action."

Gu Ce smiled slightly, "I need to get those forces that are eyeing the Qinggu Divine Kingdom, as well as some people with ulterior motives within the Divine Kingdom, to come forward on their own. Otherwise, would Mr. Gu feel comfortable with this feeling of being constantly on edge?"

Gu Heng simply rolled his eyes inwardly at this.

Although he lacked shrewdness and intelligence, he could still understand that Gu Ce definitely didn't mean it that way.

The Grand Preceptor's scheme will most likely only lead to one outcome.

That was a massive internal conflict within the Wanchao civilization.

If that's the case, then all of Gu Ce's plans will be useless. No one will think about dealing with the rebels. Instead, they will think about dividing and eating up the Qinggu Divine Kingdom, which has been injured by the Divine Lord and has become a delicious prey!

originally.

This has nothing to do with him; he did all this for the little girl.

Moreover, with the time for the showdown drawing ever closer, why not be the one to break the illusion?

He doesn't have Gu Xitong to back him up right now, and he doesn't want to be led by the nose by Gu Ce.

"Let's be frank."

Gu Heng crossed his arms, his gaze sharp: "You've gathered so many people to contribute money and effort to your plan, but your real purpose isn't to deal with the rebels, but to eliminate Qing Gu Divine Lord and seize the throne for yourself, isn't that right?"

Gu Ce remained silent, but Gu Heng knew he had absolutely hit the nail on the head.

That traitorous intention, which everyone knows, must have been exposed by others more than once.

half an hour.

Gu Cecai said quietly, "I know my own limitations very well, and I don't have that many ambitions."

"Compared to those elusive secrets that one may never find in a lifetime, it is only human nature to care about what is in front of us."

Gu Heng stared at Gu Ce, trying to glean more information from his unfathomable eyes.

What's right now?

For this powerful imperial advisor, what else could the "immediate thing" be but the supreme throne of the Qinggu Divine Kingdom?

Gu Heng also felt that Gu Ce was intentionally or unintentionally provoking someone with his words...

Because if we disregard one's stance, then the Great Enemy of the Epoch seems to be a very ambitious madman.

"The Imperial Advisor is quite frank."

Gu Heng finally forced a smile. "But what does it matter to me if you want to sit in that position? And why should I help you?"

"In the beginning, I was dragged into this trouble by you."

Going back further, that would be the carefree emperor of the Baoque Dynasty.

I don't know what that guy is planning. Xi Tong has already made it clear that Xiao Yao Jun knows his true identity without a doubt, so the current situation is definitely related to Xiao Yao Jun.

"It's not to help me."

Gu Ce corrected him, his tone as calm as if stating a fact, "It's for Mr. Gu's beloved student."

Gu Heng's eyes sharpened instantly.

Gu Ce seemed oblivious to his change and continued speaking to himself: "If this is accomplished, she will also benefit."

"Does Mr. Gu really want his apprentice to miss out on such an opportunity?"

The air was stagnant for a moment.

"To be more specific, what do I need to do?"

Gu Heng finally relented.

Damn it, if it's related to the little girl, then he'll definitely do it, if it's really for her own good.

A faint smile flickered across Gu Ce's eyes, so fleeting that it seemed like an illusion.

This great enemy of the era has suffered a rather thorough amnesia.

He even forgot the chess game he had set up long ago.

He needs an outsider to help him complete it.

But it doesn't matter, Gu Heng will play a role anyway, even if he himself didn't think about it in this way.
