Chapter 274: Kneel First

Gongshu Dijie’s words made Gongshu Jin frown. His eyes were filled with disbelief, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.

If there was no news of Heavenly Venerable Li Huo’s death, he was still unwilling to believe the authenticity of Gongshu Dijie’s words.

After all, this subverted his understanding and imagination.

However, he had no choice but to believe it. Even a Heavenly Venerable had been killed by Li Yu. This fellow’s power was truly shocking.

“If you see Li Yu in person, you’ll know if I’m telling the truth!” Gongshu Dijie added.

He knew that Gongshu Jin was unwilling to believe what he said. Otherwise, he would not have offended Li Yu time and time again.

However, he believed that anyone who had seen Li Yu with their own eyes would believe in his power because he was really as extraordinary as a god.

“Hurry up and let him, no, invite him in!” Gongshu Jin’s desire to live instantly exploded.

Although they were a top faction in the Immortal Realm’s Desolate Ancient Family, the Gongshu family was not invincible in the world and could look down on everything.

Not to mention the powers of the Immortal Realm, even the Heavenly Venerables of the various main worlds did not dare to say that they were invincible.

The vast galaxy was boundless, and what they explored and knew was still limited.

The legends of the Ancient God Dynasty, the Ancient Path of Heaven, the Door of Everlasting Life, the ancient battlefield, and the Burial Earth World all told of the existence of gods in this starry sky.

Even in their Immortal Realm, there were many unsolved mysteries and ancient and extraordinary ruins.

No one knew if there was another world beyond this one. No one knew if there were still ancient gods in the depths of the universe or how many unknown experts were hidden.

Therefore, even the strongest Patriarch of the Gongshu family was in awe of this world, let alone Gongshu Jin.

“Yes!” Gongshu Dijie hurriedly ran out and invited Li Yu in.

Gongshu Jin paced back and forth in the hall nervously. He knew that if Li Yu really killed Heavenly Venerable Li Huo, in that case, their Gongshu family had really offended someone they should not have offended this time. This fellow could even kill a Heavenly Venerable, so what was a mere Gongshu family to him?

He did not know what would happen when he faced Li Yu next, and he was even worried about his and the Gongshu family’s fate.

“Patriarch, Cultivator Li has arrived!” Gongshu Dijie’s voice sounded from the door.

Immediately, he bowed and followed behind Li Yu.

Gongshu Jin immediately stopped and looked at Li Yu nervously.

However, it did not matter when he looked. Gongshu Jin’s eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable.

The solemn expression turned into a complicated expression of shock, excitement, and shock.

He could not believe his eyes. He stood on the spot as if he was petrified as he watched Li Yu walk over step by step.

“R-Revered God!” Gongshu Jin recovered from his shock and suddenly rushed forward. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Li Yu.

This action stunned Li Yu.

Was everyone from the Immortal Realm so respectful when they met?

“Revered God, I’ve finally met you. It’s been so many years. I thought that it was all an illusion back then. I didn’t expect that you really existed. I didn’t expect to be fortunate enough to see you again. It’s my honor for three lifetimes!”

Gongshu Jin was so excited that his face turned red. For a moment, he forgot that the person in front of him was Li Yu, the person from the lower realm he was about to eliminate not long ago.

‘Isn’t this person the extraordinary person I saw on the Ancient Road to Heaven back then?’

He was the god who allowed him to comprehend the Great Destruction Art in the nick of time.

Although he did not see his appearance at that time, his figure, the rich Dao runes, the myriad of Great Dao phenomena, and his extraordinary aura were identical to the gods he had seen.

He recognized Li Yu the moment he saw him.

He had never told anyone about this back then.

However, in the past few years, he had always addressed that god respectfully as Revered God.

He regarded him as a faith in his heart.

Therefore, when he saw this extraordinary figure again, the Revered God who had once taught him the Great Destruction Art, he was shocked.

Gongshu Jin was so excited that he forgot himself and lost his mind.

“What’s going on?” Li Yu was slightly surprised.

‘What kind of trick is this? I’ve never seen it before.’

The method of the Gongshu family’s master admitting defeat was rather original!

It was simply an impressive father-son recognition scene.

Looking at Gongshu Jin and his words, it was as if he had seen his long-lost father.

Li Yu was momentarily stunned by Gongshu Jin.

It was not only Li Yu. Gongshu Dijie also looked at Gongshu Jin in shock.

His reaction and actions just now had greatly exceeded Gongshu Dijie’s expectations and even subverted his understanding.

The usually unsmiling, high and mighty patriarch of the Gongshu family actually knelt and kowtowed when he saw Li Yu and even addressed him as Revered God.

He even felt that Gongshu Jin seemed to know Li Yu in the past.

Furthermore, he had previously imagined what would happen after Gongshu Jin and Li Yu met.

However, he would never have imagined what was happening in front of him.

On second thought, Gongshu Dijie seemed to understand.

‘Impressive, Family Head!’

He knew that he had already offended Li Yu and that it would not be easy to clean up the mess. He was afraid that Li Yu would vent his anger on the entire Gongshu family.

Therefore, he first knelt as a form of respect before setting up a recognition segment. Sugar-coated bullets followed closely behind, extinguishing Li Yu’s anger in the bud.

Judging from Li Yu’s expression, Gongshu Jin’s trick had worked.

‘As expected of the head of my Gongshu family. You know when to yield and when to stand tall. Your acting skills are top-notch, and your schemes are superb. I admire you.’

“Are you okay?” Li Yu asked in a low voice.

Gongshu Jin came to a sudden realization and hurriedly added, “I’m sorry for my rudeness. I might not know you, but you helped me when I was in danger back then and even taught me a supreme Dao technique!”

Gongshu Jin’s words made Li Yu even more dizzy as he looked at him as if he was a fool.

He hurriedly told Li Yu everything that he had encountered on the Ancient Road to Heaven in detail.

It was not the first time he had seen Li Yu on the Ancient Road to Heaven.

The first time, he only saw an arm. Later on, he was fortunate enough to see the entire figure. He saw the spatial passageway where he killed the devil with a single strike.

It also allowed him to comprehend the strongest divine power—the Great Destruction Art. If he had not comprehended this divine power back then, he would probably have died on the Ancient Road to Heaven.

Gongshu Jin spoke sincerely and vividly without any flaws. One could even sense the status of those scenes and events in his heart through his expression and words.

Even though countless years had passed, it was still vivid in his mind.

Li Yu thought to himself. If he wasn’t an Oscar-winning actor, then his true feelings were revealed.

Furthermore, Gongshu Jin’s words even made Li Yu feel as if it was something he had done in the past.

‘What’s going on? Why did Gongshu Jin see me back then?’

‘Or is that not me but someone as extraordinary as me? Is there anyone else in this world who can compare to me?’

And what was that Ancient Road to Heaven?

Li Yu was filled with questions.
