Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor suddenly decided to kill Gu Xi.

The sudden move shocked Gu Xi, who immediately posed defensively with the River Chart.

A massive river chart rose and transformed into a starry river in the shape of a dragon, glimmering across the sky.

Countless stars twinkled within it, making it look mystical.

Unfortunately, Gu Xi was not strong enough even with the River Chart. He was no match for Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor, a Multi-Embodier.

One strike from Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor crushed the dragon-shaped starry river that the River Chart summoned, and Gu Xi was also killed.

He did not even have a chance to fight back.

"You're too young to fully conceal your emotions through your eyes. Do you really think I can't see through your thoughts? Since you already hate me, I cannot allow you to live," the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor muttered.

He looked in the direction where Chu Kuangren was. He had a hunch why Chu Kuangren asked for the River Chart Inscription as the reward.

"He's trying to use this against the Immortal World by planting a seed of doubt and hatred in Gu Xi. Chu Kuangren, you might be young and good at plotting, but too bad you will not succeed. I won't let you succeed," the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor muttered.

However, deep down, his heart ached.

Gu Xi was a valuable Outlier Prodigy. In time, he could grow as strong as the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor and become the Immortal Hall's main pillar of strength and support.

Yet, the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor was forced to kill Gu Xi in the cradle.

Asking for Chu Kuangren's help to heal his injuries did not only cause him to lose a Supreme Treasure, but it even forced him to kill Gu Xi, which indirectly weakened the Immortal Hall's power and growth.

The thought fueled his reverence for Chu Kuangren.

"Chu Kuangren, I will not let this go."

Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor took the River Chart away and left.

Back on the mountain peak, Chu Kuangren sensed the little commotion further away and also sensed Gu Xi's death.

He pitied Gu Xi. "Too bad. The seed was killed before it sprouted."

Although he was not particularly disappointed because it was a plan he came up with at the last minute, it did not matter whether it worked because he did not lose anything.

"The River Inscription is quite a decent treasure. In addition to the Godkiller Spear, the fifth seed of the lotus, if I can refine all of them, my Chaos Green Lotus' energy will receive a power-up. It's the right choice to not kill the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor," Chu Kuangren said with a grin.

If Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor found out that the Heavenly Sword who injured him and the Chu Kuangren who healed him were the same person, would he lose his mind?

"Thank you for your help, Immortal King!"

The girl Yun Zhongyue brought over had recovered and was bowing at Chu Kuangren with a fist salute to express her gratitude.

The girl's name was Yan Hua, Yun Zhongyue's disciple and an Ultimate Arch Gilded Immortal.

She was a few steps shy from breaking through to become an Embodier.

A while ago, she was engaged in a fierce battle with the people from the Central Heaven Universe, but due to her outdated intelligence, Yan Hua was surrounded by the enemy's generals.

Fortunately, Yun Zhongyue showed up just in time to save her, or she would perish on the battlefield.

"Sigh. I wonder how long the battle with the Central Heaven Universe will continue. The Pan Gu Universe really needs someone as strong and charismatic as a leader to take charge of everything. Having no leader is a big disadvantage," Yun Zhongyue said as he looked at Chu Kuangren with gleaming eyes.

Chu Kuangren knew what Yun Zhongyue was referring to.

"Wu Han is sealed, and the Daoist Progenitor has fallen. With them away, albeit having a lot of Embodiers, Pan Gu Universe will operate like a bunch of children who refuse to play with each other.

"On the other hand, the Central Heaven Universe has the Central Heaven Temple as the leader to strategize everything, and we here in Pan Gu Universe need an organization or a leader like that. Immortal King, I think you're the one," Yun Zhongyue said.

Ye Zhu and Zi Jinlun looked at Chu Kuangren.

"Your opinion doesn't matter. There are a lot who would disagree," Chu Kuangren said.

"As long as you're up for it, the Celestial Demon Tribe will back you up," Zi Jinlun said.

"The Black Heaven Nine Stars are also at your command, Immortal King." Ye Zhu expressed his support as well.

As a matter of fact, Chu Kuangren commanded several powerful forces, and if put together, the organization would be the strongest in Pan Gu Universe.

It was not entirely impossible for him to rule and lead the entire universe.

It was actually highly possible. Even he believed that he was the chosen one for the role and that no one other than him was more fitting to be the leader.

"If that's the case, who else can it be if not me?" Chu Kuangren said with a smile.

Zi Jinlun, Yun Zhongyue, and Ye Zhu were delighted.

"I might be up for the role, but this is an important matter. We have to plan it out meticulously," Chu Kuangren said.

"Of course."

They then continued to talk about the details.

After the brief meeting, Chu Kuangren followed Ye Zhu to a manless land on the Void Battlefield.

It was located in the buffering area between the two universes.

Soon, multiple figures started to appear.

Other than Chu Kuangren, there were a total of nine people, including Ye Zhu.

They were the Black Heaven Nine Stars.

Other than Jue Wushen and Ye Zhu, the other seven had not shown themselves.

"Immortal King, why did you summon us?" a voice asked.

"I've summoned all of you here because I have a present for you."

Chu Kuangren then raised his hand, and Eighteen Titan Divine Fruits appeared in the air.

A rich, fruity scent instantly filled the area.

"This energy presence… What are these?"

"What powerful Daoist law energy fluctuations. I believe with one of them, I can easily break through to the Embodier Realm."

The Black Heaven Nine Stars were surprised.

Their reaction was normal because even Multi-Embodiers would kill for the fruits.

"Black Heaven Nine Stars, all of you shall cease all operations immediately. Take two fruits each and refine them. Try to grow stronger as soon as possible," Chu Kuangren said.

The Black Heaven Nine Stars were surprised by Chu Kuangren's generosity.

Two Titan Divine Fruits each?

They all knew Chu Kuangren well, so they skipped the courtesy and took the fruits for themselves.

"Left Chancellor, Right Minister, Greedy Wolf, you three stay. The others can leave," Chu Kuangren said.

The others left without asking any questions.

Once the others had left, Chu Kuangren looked at the three of them and revealed three more Titan Divine Fruits.

"You three can have one extra each."

"Pft!"

The Greedy Wolf laughed out loud. "Brother, I thought you were going to give us secret missions, but it turns out you're trying to start a party here."

"Hehe, why? Don't you guys want the extra fruit?"

Chu Kuangren chuckled. The three of them were the closest to him, so he took extra care of them. He recognized that he was a selfish man and could not treat everyone the same.

"Of course! How could I say no to such a precious fruit!"

Greedy Wolf smiled and took the extra Divine Fruit.

The other two took one each as well. They were happy because Chu Kuangren favored them over the others.

Then, Chu Kuangren took more fruits out and gave them to the Left Chancellor. "Go back to the empire and give them to Linglong."

"Yes, my King."

"The war is still long. The three of you must be careful."

"We understand."

After the three of them left, Chu Kuangren returned to the defense line.

He found a quiet place to go into closed-door meditation. He wanted to refine the rest of the Titan Divine Fruits, the River Inscription, and the other items manifested from the Chaos Green Lotus to increase his strength.
