329: Chapter 196: Gou Chen Submits 329: Chapter 196: Gou Chen Submits Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole spoke somberly, “The problem is, I worry I might not make it to the critical moment.” Lady Houtu glanced at the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole and chuckled lightly, “You aren’t one of us, anyway. Whether you can wait or not doesn’t really affect us much.” Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole: “...” He understood Lady Houtu’s meaning, which suggested that whether the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole lived or died, it mattered little. The reason was simple: he was not one of their own. This left the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole unsure what to say. He wanted to counter Lady Houtu’s words, yet found nothing to refute. If he falsely claimed that he was indeed loyal to the Jade Emperor, no one present would believe him. Not only would they not believe him, but they would also look down on him. With this in mind, the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole sighed. “If it really comes down to it, I might as well seek refuge with the Great Emperor Ziwei,” he said. As soon as his words fell, a deadly aura enveloped him. The eyes of Gou Chen and Lady Houtu turned icy, staring at the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole as if ready to attack. The Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole was not afraid. Instead, he smiled and looked at the two of them, giving a faint smile and saying, “You two need not be anxious. I had no choice, and if you are unwilling to protect me, I have to resort to such measures. After all, I can’t just resign myself to death, right?” “Why don’t you let the person behind you take action then?” said Lady Houtu suddenly. Upon hearing this, the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole looked slightly uneasy. “I don’t understand what you mean, Lady Houtu?” he asked. Gou Chen, too, stared at Lady Houtu. Was there someone behind the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole? It was rumored that he was the son of the Primordial Heaven King, although Gou Chen did not believe this at all. Such tales were concocted by humans. The Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole was also an ancient god with a rather mysterious origin. After being summoned by the Jade Emperor, he had always served as the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole. What exactly was his background, no one knew. Lady Houtu might know, after all, she was the wife of the Jade Emperor. “Shao Siming,” Lady Houtu said with a light smile, mentioning a name. Gou Chen was visibly moved. The person behind the Longevity Great Emperor, was actually Shao Siming. That extremely fearsome woman, even now, upon hearing her name, both immortals and Buddhas would tremble. The Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole remarked, “Indeed nothing escapes the Jade Emperor’s sight.” By admitting this, he also exposed his own identity. The person behind the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole was indeed Shao Siming. Lady Houtu smiled faintly and said, “That’s also why the Jade Emperor was willing to bring Gou Chen along, but not invite you.” Because the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole had a master, he could not be loyal to the Jade Emperor. “Managing lifespans, while you are now under Shao Siming, you must be related to the Senior Commander-in-Chief who serves under Tai Yi,” said Gou Chen, staring at the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole. He was even contemplating whether he should just eliminate the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole. The other was an underling of Tai Yi, and would definitely aid in Tai Yi’s return. Such a being, remaining in the Three Realms, posed a threat to them. Sensing Gou Chen’s intent to kill, Lady Houtu shook her head slightly. She telepathically said, “Do you think you can defeat Shao Siming?” Gou Chen hesitated for a moment before responding, “There shouldn’t be too much of a gap, right?” Lady Houtu scoffed, “Shao Siming’s strength is not inferior to the Queen Mother of the West.” Gou Chen decisively shut up. Forget it, some matters were beyond his control. Since it wasn’t within his capabilities, he simply let it be. Shao Siming, he couldn’t defeat. At that moment, a sense of helplessness suddenly arose in his heart. He had always wanted to become the Great Heavenly Venerate. But looking at the current situation, even if he truly became the Great Heavenly Venerate, what could he possibly achieve? There were simply too many people he couldn’t defeat. Not to mention the Jade Emperor, even Shao Siming alone was more than he could handle. The Queen Mother, too, was stronger than him. Gou Chen felt that even if he were offered the position of Great Heavenly Venerate now, he would most likely dare not accept it. After becoming the Great Heavenly Venerate, he probably wouldn’t live long before being challenged and killed. At this moment, Gou Chen somewhat admired his younger brother, Ziwei. He had been the Great Heavenly Venerate until now, still bouncing around, even growing stronger—an aspect truly incomparable to him. Gou Chen sighed, thinking secretly, “Not everyone can have a Sun Wukong. If it hadn’t been for Sun Wukong, Ziwei’s situation might not have been much better than mine.” He believed it was all because of Sun Wukong. If it weren’t for Sun Wukong’s help, even if the Great Emperor Ziwei was a bit stronger than him, it would be limited. The balance among the Four Heavenly Kings would most likely remain, with no one able to overpower the others. He truly envied the Great Emperor Ziwei now. “If only I had known how formidable that monkey was, I would have befriended him. Who would have thought...” He sighed inwardly. But now, even regrets were too late, Sun Wukong would not help him, and had become his opponent. “Since it’s all clear now, I won’t see you two out. If you encounter any troubles in the future, you can also seek me, I will definitely help.” The Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole said. He, too, sensed Gou Chen’s murderous intent, but it did not concern him much. Let alone whether Gou Chen could kill him, even if he could, Gou Chen might not dare make a move. Regarding Gou Chen’s issue, the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole did not respond. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun, feeling alarmed, wanted to leave, not wishing to know too many secrets.
