"I wonder, Brother Gu, how have you considered my previous proposal?" Gong Hao asked with a smile, a far cry from his frivolous demeanor in Tianzhou, appearing very polite and well-mannered.

Gu Chen furrowed his brows upon hearing this and said, "As you can see, there are currently strange changes in the world. As a Tower Supervisor of Jing Tian Department, I am engaged in exterminating demons and ghosts and am thus unable to provide you with an answer at this time."

"I was too abrupt," Gong Hao replied with an apologetic smile, "Given the situation, I am willing to exert myself for Da Xia, to aid Brother Gu in suppressing these demons and ghosts."

Gu Chen said nothing, his brows slightly furrowed. If given the choice, he obviously would not want Gong Hao by his side.

For if Gong Hao were to act, it was without a doubt that the merit points Gu Chen would receive would diminish.

However, the saying goes that one does not slap a smiling face, and Gong Hao’s demeanor made it difficult for Gu Chen to speak too harshly.

Seeing the look in Gong Hao’s eyes, it was clear that even if Gu Chen were to refuse, Gong Hao had no intention of leaving and was set on helping Gu Chen.

"In that case, I must thank you, Brother Gong," Gu Chen said with some reluctance, but he still bowed in thanks.

"Not at all, I may come from the higher realms, but I am still a member of the Human Clan. I loathe these ghostly things as much as anyone and wish wholeheartedly to exterminate them all," Gong Hao said, furrowing his brows.

Gu Chen could tell there was no deceit in these words.

Thus, he took the opportunity to ask, "Do demons and ghosts also exist in the higher realms?"

Gong Hao heard this and let out a bitter smile, shaking his head, "The ghostly things in the higher realms are not comparable to the demons and ghosts that you, Brother Gu of the Nine Provinces, have encountered."

Gu Chen was surprised to hear this. Could it be that even the vast realms above were invaded by demons and ghosts?

Gu Chen asked, "Where exactly do these demons and ghosts come from? Is there truly no way to eradicate them completely?"

Gong Hao shook his head and said, "I do not know the origins of these demons and ghosts, and to completely eradicate this group of ethereal beings is an impossibility."

At this point, Gong Hao looked deeply into Gu Chen’s eyes and continued, "Brother Gu, there is not a single false word in what I say. Even the higher realms, with their boundless powerhouses, cannot completely eradicate demons and ghosts, let alone the Nine Provinces. Therefore, the fate of this world is sealed. A person like you should not languish here to death. It would be better to follow me to the higher realms."

"I know other powers have also invited you, but Brother Gu, you must understand that my Five Elements Sect is undoubtedly the most sincere. I believe the conditions I’ve offered are also more generous than those of other factions, aren’t they?"

At these words, Gu Chen also nodded slightly without hiding anything.

Seeing this, Gong Hao also gave a small smile and said, "Brother Gu, if you ever make up your mind, remember to inform me first."

"Alright."

Gu Chen agreed, and then with a nod of greeting to Gong Hao, he disappeared in a flash, hurrying towards the location of the demons and ghosts as sensed by his divine consciousness.

Gong Hao stood in place, watching the retreating figure of Gu Chen, his eyes twinkling, seemingly deep in thought.

"Interesting." After a moment, Gong Hao’s mouth curved into a mischievous smile.

Then, he too vanished in a flash, disappearing from the spot.

The following day, Gu Chen spent entirely in slaying demons and ghosts.

Fortunately, as the strange changes in the world had just begun, although there was a significant number of demons and ghosts, the strongest only matched the peak of the Innate Realm. The local branches of Jing Tian Department were thus able to handle it.

After all, all eleven Tower Supervisors of Da Xia had now broken through to the divine realm of martial arts, becoming top-level grandmasters. Although the Infernal level demons and ghosts were troublesome, they had already had one experience dealing with them, and this time, they handled it with practiced ease.

As for Youzhou, which lacked a Tower Supervisor, Qin Wu had already dispatched several grandmasters of the Innate Realm from headquarters, and Gu Chen had also ordered the head of the Giant Spirit Gate, who had broken through to the divine realm, to assist Youzhou by being stationed there.

So, for the time being, the first day of the second worldly abnormality passed untroubled.

As for the various abnormalities and calamities caused by the worldly changes, they were promptly and effectively brought under control, and the great machinery of the Da Xia imperial court began to operate in earnest.

In the evening, Gu Chen went to a secret chamber within Jing Tian Department, planning to use up all the merit points he accrued during the day that night.

With a thought from Gu Chen, the long-awaited panel appeared before his eyes.

"The first day of the worldly abnormality brought six hundred and fifty merit points, which is indeed quite satisfactory," Gu Chen murmured with a slight nod, feeling somewhat pleased.

Of course, if Gong Hao had not appeared, the merit points on his panel could have been even greater.

Then, Gu Chen looked at the martial arts listed on the panel. Gold Body Skills were given to him by Emperor Ji Yuan when he was promoted to a Tower Supervisor of Da Xia, and it was an Earth-grade body-refining martial skill that was just a step away from Heavenly Martial Skills.

Now, Gu Chen’s goal was to break through to the Coagulation Field realm, and the Tower Supervisor had told him that divine consciousness was extremely important for achieving this breakthrough.

"It is said that the Extreme God Nerve and the Refining Spirit Secret are originally one. I wonder what kind of martial arts will emerge after the panel’s deduction. Should it reach Heavenly level?"

After all, both the Extreme God Nerve and the Refining Spirit Secret were at the pinnacle of Earth Grade and were ancient martial arts. The fusion of the two, augmented by the panel, might well bring about a Heavenly Martial Skill.

If so, it would greatly increase Gu Chen’s chances of breaking through to the Coagulation Field realm.

"Panel, deduce!"

In the next instant, with a move of Gu Chen’s thoughts, the names of the Extreme God Nerve and Refining Spirit Secret on the panel began to twist slowly, merging into one.

At the same time, in Gu Chen’s mind, under the operation of the panel, the related mental methods of these two martial arts also began to merge slowly, separating the wheat from the chaff. As flashes of enlightenment appeared in Gu Chen’s mind, a new martial art was gradually taking shape.

At this moment, Gu Chen’s eyes were tightly shut, his demeanor solemn, as he quietly realized; in this state, his personal understanding and perception of the martial path also grew by leaps and bounds.

Hum!

In this final moment, accompanied by a tremble in Gu Chen’s divine consciousness, the deduction of this martial art finally came to an end.

And on the panel, the Extreme God Nerve and Refining Spirit Secret had vanished, replaced by a more powerful, brand new mental martial art.
