Chapter 1967 - 1550: Lofty Aspirations, Lonely at the Top!

"Gu Changsheng, why are you so stubbornly disobedient? I, Baby Jin Bao, would never harm you! After all, I’m a spirit born from the essence of heaven and earth, how could I harm you? You’re not wrong to listen to me!" Baby Jin Bao became anxious upon seeing this.

Gu Changsheng’s body contained the power of heaven and earth, which he indeed feared, but watching Gu Changsheng leave like this made him extremely unwilling!

This is the only person in the Post-Ancient Era capable of summoning the Nine-Layer Heavens Punishment Thunder Tribulation!

This is the only person in the Post-Ancient Era who might ascend to the rank of True God!

Baby Jin Bao is a spirit, and he has already grasped a bit of insight concerning cause and effect; his intuition tells him that Gu Changsheng is the key to changing his circumstances, but as for why—since Baby Jin Bao is merely a spirit, having not undergone the Heavenly Tribulation, nor ascended as an immortal or god, he cannot penetrate the understanding!

Thus, the only thing Baby Jin Bao could do was to help this woman become a god. Only if this woman ascends to godhood can it change the godless status of the Post-Ancient Era, and only then can it present him with an opportunity for breakthrough!

"I don’t want to listen to your lengthy arguments; I’m not interested in what you’re saying. I just want to enter Smelting City and travel deep into Divine Mount Qilian to get what I want!" Gu Changsheng shook her head, with an unspeakable determination.

"It’s not hard to enter Smelting City, as long as I, Baby Jin Bao, don’t stop you, you can roam freely in Smelting City. It’s also not hard to enter deep into Divine Mount Qilian; I’m the Mountain Lord of Divine Mount Qilian—you can go wherever you want, and I can help you, making things much easier. But could you promise me to find a way to remove the seal deep within your soul and ascend to godhood? Or perhaps abandon worldly concerns and follow me in this mountain for focused cultivation?" Baby Jin Bao said, his eyes suddenly brightened, unable to resist saying, "Right, we don’t have to leave, we can stay in this mountain and focus on cultivating and striving for enlightenment!"

"Gu Changsheng, if you just cultivate with me, considering you’ve been through the opportunity of the Nine-Layer Heavens Punishment Thunder Tribulation, it shouldn’t be long before you attain enlightenment and ascend to godhood. Gu Changsheng, would it be good to stay in the mountain? With me, steadfast in cultivating the grand path and practicing true nature, return to the Heavenly Dao and cultivate in silence, focus on refining Bodhi Fruit until heaven and earth are in alignment—Gu Changsheng, wouldn’t it be good to become a god? You should become a god..."

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth at Baby Jin Bao’s words, feeling like she’s being coaxed into becoming a monk?

She’d have to be foolish to agree with what Jin Bao said!

To speak of staying in the mountain for cultivation, she dammit is a human, not wanting to become a nun, what kind of ball should she be cultivating?

Therefore, ignoring the full of expectation in Baby Jin Bao’s big eyes, Gu Changsheng took a deep breath and jumped off from above the city gate!

Darn chatterboxes are the most annoying, Gu Changsheng indicated that it’s unmanageable!

It’s better to escape!

Gu Changsheng jumped without using any inner strength, just falling straight to the ground...

Zhou Mu, who had been watching her every move, shook his head helplessly, with a face like a Divine Residence, showing a hint of indulgence, his slender arms reached out...

Not a bit more, not an inch less—just right, catching Gu Changsheng, who fell, into his embrace!

Even Baby Jin Bao couldn’t anticipate that Gu Changsheng would suddenly jump off the city gate, leaving him staring blankly with his little face dumbfounded...

"Isn’t becoming a god good?" Zhou Mu looked down at the little woman in his arms, the depth of his eyes like a cold pool, with hidden brilliance.

He had witnessed the awe-inspiring might of the True God, the Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness appearing at the end of the Ancient Wilderness Times, overturning the clouds and rain, toppling mountains and rivers—that kind of power is something that would move anyone!

However, the little woman in his arms refused...

So determined, so insistent!

"What’s good about becoming a god? Lofty and lonely, high in rank yet isolated—I never planned to become some darn deity that needs Fragrant Fruit offerings and worshipped clay statues!" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng snorted slightly and then gave Zhou Mu a look, with an expression of feigned seriousness, "Besides, who knows if deities can marry; if marrying is forbidden, what then? I don’t want to be single all my life; I want to get married, have kids, and enjoy four generations together!"

"Haha... alright, get married, have kids, enjoy four generations together!" Zhou Mu heard this, and within an instant, his face, akin to a Divine Residence, appeared bright and breezy, he chuckled softly, unable to resist lowering his head and imprinting a soft kiss on Gu Changsheng’s brow.

Being so intimate in front of everyone, Gu Changsheng was a bit embarrassed; even with her thick skin she felt a little awkward, couldn’t help but snort lightly and gave Zhou Mu a glare, "With my face as it is, it’s really hard to believe you can kiss it..."

Her current face is so dark; only a good mouthful of teeth and big eyes left—it’s remarkable that her evildoer would dare kiss it, he certainly doesn’t fear psychological shadows!

"This king isn’t doing much better..." It was better if Gu Changsheng didn’t bring up their appearance—once she mentioned it, even Zhou Mu felt a bit resentful.

Even he hasn’t escaped the clutches of the little woman in his arms, has he?

A face unparalleled in handsomeness painted pitch black—Zhou Mu felt it might be better to wear a mask...

"Hehe..." Gu Changsheng gave an awkward laugh, struggling to get out of Zhou Mu’s embrace...

But no sooner had Gu Changsheng stood on the ground than she felt something familiarly unexpected on her thigh...

Gu Changsheng looked down, her black face twitching instantly!

Damn it!

She got her legs hugged again!

"What do you want now?" Gu Changsheng gritted her teeth, "I’ve already said, I don’t want to become a god, and I can’t help you. Why are you still pestering me?"

"It’s not about what you want, it’s about some things being destined, and no one can escape! Gu Changsheng, someday you will become a god. Listen to me, just become a god already!" The Baby Jin Bao wrapped its small arms tightly around Gu Changsheng’s leg, persuading once more.

"I said, I won’t become a god, I want to be a human! Goodness, why do I have to become a god? Being human is so great!" Gu Changsheng struggled with her leg, but unfortunately, Baby Jin Bao was holding on tightly, and she couldn’t escape for the moment.

"Gu Changsheng, becoming a god has countless advantages. Gods and humans, one is in the heavens, the other is on earth; one stands high in the Nine-Layer Heavens, the other sinks into the misery of the red dust; one is revered like a high mountain, the other is mired in mud and dust. There’s simply no comparison..." Baby Jin Bao reasoned earnestly.

"I just want to be on earth, I just want to experience the misery of the red dust, I just want to be this mud and dust. Who am I bothering?" Gu Changsheng glared, "Let me go!"

"I won’t let go unless you agree to become a god!"

"Ha! You’re saying becoming a god is like cabbages sold on the street, where any mortal who wants to become a god can. Then how many deities would there be in this world? Could they be worshiped properly?"

"Ordinary people can’t become gods, but you’re Gu Changsheng! You’ve survived the Nine-Layer Heavens Punishment Thunder Tribulation. As long as you want, anything is possible!" Baby Jin Bao was persistent.

"Too bad, I don’t want to! Didn’t want to before, don’t want to now, and won’t want to in the future! Guess you got excited for nothing!" Alas, Gu Changsheng was not accommodating in the slightest.

"Just agree to it, I won’t harm you!"

"I wouldn’t harm myself either! Believe me, I love myself a lot more than you love me!" Gu Changsheng deflected with humor.

Baby Jin Bao felt a bit embarrassed by these words...

Honestly, what he was interested in was the strength of this woman in front of him, as for affection...

Sorry, his dream was to marry a hundred and eighty human *****. He never thought of marrying some dark charcoal ball!

Besides, there was this dark charcoal ball standing beside her!

Two dark charcoal balls together, they somewhat looked well-matched...

Even with such thoughts, Baby Jin Bao didn’t loosen his grip on Gu Changsheng...

"Let go! If you don’t let go, I’ll have to get physical!" Gu Changsheng gritted her teeth, gesturing a threat.

"I won’t let go no matter what unless you agree to become a god!" Baby Jin Bao shook his head, determined to persuade the dark charcoal ball of a woman to willingly become a god!

In this Post-Ancient Era, with the emergence of the first god, there would be a slim chance for him to rise!

Once there’s the first god, can the second be far behind?

It’s not far!

Baby Jin Bao firmly believed!

Baby Jin Bao had great hopes, but clearly, Gu Changsheng had no intention of cooperating!

What’s this becoming a god? Goodness, she hasn’t even mastered being human yet, why on earth would she want to become a god?

Is she bored?

Just as Gu Changsheng and Baby Jin Bao, each with a spirit, were at a stalemate, the Soul-Devouring Python dragging a string of burlap-like bundles, swerving with its tail, wandering around, not knowing how many wrong paths it took, without a clear crawling direction, finally, with great difficulty, reached the gate of Smelting City...

The Soul-Devouring Python felt more embarrassed today than its entire snake life, more than any time in its existence as a python or Gu insect!

Being one of Southern Border’s Four Great Imperial Gu, as a Green Dragon Python Gu, can you believe it’s being used like a donkey or horse?

Being used like a donkey or horse would be one thing, but can you believe it doesn’t even run as fast as a donkey or horse?

The Soul-Devouring Python’s snake heart was overturned; the whole snake felt wrong!

Reaching the city gate, with no pedestrians at this hour, a look with its crimson snake eyes, and the Soul-Devouring Python suddenly felt balanced!

Oh my dear Snake Mother’s fourth aunt, it seemed its feeder was in an even worse state than it was...
