Ruins of the past

Following the words of the Tao Ancestor in the center, the 72 Tao Ancestors present all looked at Chu Qiguang again.

Heavy pressure came in like the sky was falling and the earth was falling, causing Chu Qiguang's sea of ​​consciousness to stir slightly.

The voice of the Mojie Dao Ancestor also came: "Chu Qiguang, please tell me about it. Please tell me one by one the good deeds you have done in the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man."

Tianhe Daozu then said: "Brother Chu, if Taixu Daozu asks you to say it, you can say it with confidence and boldness. No one can trap you before you ascend to the altar."

At the same time, the eyes of countless people across the galaxy were focused on Chu Qiguang through the live broadcast.

Countless intelligent beings are waiting for Chu Qiguang's answer, which will determine the future direction of the entire universe.

‘I don’t even know what the Nine Blessings of Heavenly Beings are, so what can I report? ’

Chu Qiguang was speechless for a while. He was thinking about trying to get through the test, but he also understood that the seventy-two ancestors in front of him were the supreme existences in the universe. Ordinary methods would never pass their test, and the opponent would catch their flaws.

‘Besides, you must tell the truth before going to the altar. Making up things will definitely not work. ’

‘I need to say something that is not a lie and can make them stop chasing me for the time being. ’

'Only if I buy some time first to figure out what is going on in this situation, can I possibly open up the situation...'

'The worst case scenario can at least allow me to collect a wave of knowledge in Xu Dao Palace and run away first...'

Chu Qiguang's mind was spinning, and ideas were pouring out one after another.

After Chu Qiguang was silent for a moment, the figure known as Juyang Daozu urged: "Chu Qiguang, we all know that you are a master of lying, but no one can tell lies before ascending to the altar, so don't delay. It’s time, just say what you have to say.”

Broken Taoist Master said coldly: "It's normal for a project as big as Tianren Jiufu to take some time to think about. If you can't wait any longer, you can get out first."

At this moment, Chu Qiguang suddenly said: "Do you want to take a gamble with me?"

"One year."

"Give me another year."

"If the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man cannot be completed in one year, I will repay all the investment in Xu Dao Palace and the investment of all Dao Ancestors in double."

Upon hearing Chu Qiguang's bet, the Taoist ancestors present were also slightly stunned, as if they did not expect that he would say such words.

You must know that the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man is a thousand-year plan related to the future of the universe, which involves most of the 108 schools of Taoism, and involves many advanced martial arts and Taoist research goals that even the Taoist ancestors have not yet achieved breakthroughs.

In comparison, a year is too short. For many Taoist ancestors present, this year is no different from a day for mortals.

Tianhe Daozu immediately said: "Brother Chu, the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man are a thousand-year plan, you don't have to be so anxious..."

Mojie Taoist Ancestor said calmly: "Everyone can see Chu Qiguang's ability. Since he has been saying it for a year, I believe him."

As Chu Qiguang finished speaking, the two major forces that had been fighting each other just now changed their attitudes in the blink of an eye.

The Taoist ancestors of the Tianhe line who originally supported Chu Qiguang all opposed his one-year commitment.

The Dao Ancestors of the Mojie line gave strong support one by one, as if they were not the ones who had just suspected and questioned Chu Qiguang.

Seeing this scene, Chu Yu was also shocked: 'How can it be possible to complete the Nine Blessings Plan in one year... If it cannot be completed, how much will Mr. Chu owe the Xu Dao Palace? I’m afraid if I sell myself, I won’t be able to pay it back for the rest of my life...’

Broken Dao Ancestor said: "I suspect that Chu Qiguang has been working in a void environment for a long time, causing the soul to be contaminated."

"I think we should conduct a distortion test on him to see if there is any abnormality in his mental state."

Not only the Taoist ancestors in front of the altar, but also the people in the entire galaxy watching the live broadcast thought Chu Qiguang was crazy.

No one thinks that the thousand-year plan of Xu Dao Palace can be completed in one year.

The debate among the Taoist ancestors also changed from the specific progress of the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man to whether Chu Qiguang's one-year agreement is valid.

As the debate among the Dao Ancestors became more and more intense, waves of terrifying will collided and agitated in the space.

Just a slight change in their emotions and a slight collision of wills caused black gaps in the void to open in front of the altar, dripping with thick black muddy water, exuding all kinds of crazy and twisted power.

Just when this dissipated power became more and more out of control and gradually began to spread towards the entire space.

A cold voice once again interrupted the debate among the Taoist ancestors.

"Chu Qiguang, are you sure it's one year?"

The one who spoke was Taixu Daozu, who stood in the center of the 72 Daozus and had the highest status.

As the words fell, the Taoist ancestors at the scene also stopped arguing and looked at Chu Qiguang in front of them, as if they were all waiting for his answer.

Chu Qiguang: "Just one year."

"Okay." Taixu Daozu said, "Then we will give you one year."

"After one year, if the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man are not completed on time, you will have to double the compensation for the loss of the Dao Palace, and you will have to redeem all the investment of the Dao Ancestor at double..."

Following Taixu Taoist's decision, although the rest of the Taoist ancestors present had ups and downs in their minds and had different ideas, no one could object anymore.

In the eyes of most people, Chu Qiguang's bet this time has already been lost.

Over the next few hundred hours, news of the bet spread throughout most of the known universe.

Chu Qiguang is also considered to be the poorest person in the future universe, because he will compensate the Xudao Palace and the 72 Dao Ancestors for their astronomical wealth and supplies.

As the meeting ended, Dao Ancestor's figures left one after another from the altar. Only Chu Qiguang was left behind by Taixu Dao Ancestor.

Just when Chu Qiguang was thinking about what the other party wanted to say to him, the figure of Taixu Daozu in front of him changed.

The darkness gradually dissipated from the other party's body, and a slender and slender figure emerged, floating in front of Chu Qiguang, revealing a beautiful figure, as if the light of thousands of stars had condensed.

‘So it turns out Taixu Daozu is a woman? ’ Chu Qiguang thought in his mind: ‘The voice just now was very neutral, but it was completely inaudible. ’

'But when we reach the realm of Taozu, the so-called difference between men and women is just something that can be changed with a thought. It doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, right? ’

‘What do you want to say to me when you leave me alone? ’

‘Is it about the one-year appointment? Judging from the attitude of the other party just now, he actually supported me in making a one-year gambling agreement. It seems that he is not on the side of Tianhe Daozu...'

Just when Chu Qiguang was thinking about what the other party wanted to do if he stayed.

The Taixu Taoist in front of him had his hands behind his back and looked at the huge ascending platform. After a moment of silence, he said: "One year..."

"Is one year enough for you to transfer the assets of Xu Dao Palace?"

Chu Qiguang was slightly startled when he heard this, and the next moment he felt a turmoil in his heart: 'Is this Taixu Taoist and 'me' the same group? Are they trying to secretly transfer the assets of Xu Dao Palace? ’

He sighed in his heart: 'Even the Tao Ancestor, who has the highest status, is thinking of embezzling the palace's assets. How can this Xu Dao Palace not collapse? ’

Seeing Chu Qiguang's stunned look, Taixu Daozu said coldly: "If you fail to transfer all the palace assets within one year, you should know what the consequences will be."

"Your time is very tight. I will try my best to cover you from other Dao Ancestors."

"Go ahead."

After saying that, Chu Qiguang felt his eyes go dark, and his entire consciousness had returned to his new body.

But his mind was still full of the scenes he had just experienced. The situation in the Xu Dao Palace was more complicated than he expected, and he never understood what his identity was in it.

At this moment, Chu Yu said anxiously: "Sir, why did you make a one-year bet? We will definitely not be able to complete the Nine Blessings Plan in one year."

"Don't be anxious." Chu Qiguang sat down calmly: "Bring me a few more books to read."

In the next month, Chu Qiguang kept reading in the study with his head covered, crazily accumulating knowledge in his mind, and the gifts in the Circle of Foolishness skyrocketed.

Chu Yu was worried about the other party at first, and kept admonishing Chu Qiguang to hurry up and get busy with the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man, but soon she gradually stopped talking about these things. In her opinion, Chu Qiguang in front of her was already The look of giving up.

However, it is obviously not in the interest of many people for Chu Qiguang to stay in his study all day long.

So after reading the book for a month, the urgings from the Taoist ancestors came one after another.

On this day, Chu Yu came to Chu Qiguang and said helplessly: "Sir, Taishang Dao Zun has come personally to urge you. He is here on behalf of Taixu Dao Ancestor. Please go out and see him."

Alas, I'm still not in a good state, and I'm a little busy today, that's all.
