On a lonely mountain peak, Gu Chen was kneeling on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, and he seemed calm on the surface, but in his sea of qi, it was far from the same.

In the sea of qi, the power of the five elements was originally born and born, but at this moment, it was forcibly separated by him.

Gu Chen first broke the mutual evolution of the power of fire and the power of earth, and then the power of earth was transformed into the power of gold, and then the power of gold turned into the power of water, the power of water turned into the power of wood, and finally the power of wood merged into all the power of fire.

The power of the five elements disappeared, all turned into the power of fire, and in the sea of qi, only one power of flame remained, at this time, Gu Chen opened his eyes and muttered, "The stakes are very high, I must not let you know that I have condensed the power of the five elements, otherwise, my life will not be guaranteed." ”

As soon as Gu Chen finished saying this, he seemed to be aware of it, and then closed his eyes again.

Airplanes!

A wave that was not powerful suddenly rippled, Gu Chen opened his eyes violently, and saw a woman in white standing in front of him.

It's none other than the Heavenly Dao!

Gu Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Lord Tiandao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Tiandao turned around slowly, with a faint smile on his face, "It's been a long time. ”

Gu Chen smiled, "I don't know if Lord Heavenly Dao came to me, is there something wrong?"

Tiandao looked at Gu Chen quietly, looking up and down, "Actually, there is nothing wrong, but I haven't seen you for a long time, and I suddenly thought of you, and I want to know how you are doing now, so I came to see you." ”

Gu Chen laughed, "I didn't expect that in the heart of Lord Tiandao, I still remembered such a small person as Gu Chen, but I was flattered. ”

"Little person, who said you are a little person?" Tiandao smiled, "In my heart, Mr. Gu is not a small person, after all, you were the one who made a bold statement to kill Huo Feng back then, I calculated the time, the agreement between you and Huo Feng is only about thirty years, I don't know if you still have the ambition you had back then?"

Gu Chen was silent for a moment, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Lord Heavenly Dao, do you really not know, or do you pretend not to know?"

"What do you mean?"

"I've already gone to find the Fire Phoenix. Gu Chen said, "Just a few years ago, I just came back from the Death Continent. ”

There was no change in the expression on Tiandao's face, she nodded lightly, "That's right, I am actually secretly paying attention to you, but I only look at you in my spare time, after all, as Tiandao, it is impossible for me to keep all my attention on you, since you have been to the Death Continent, what is the result?"

Gu Chen pondered for a moment, "The result is not too good, and even, it is very tricky. ”

"Oh, I'd like to hear about it, I want to know exactly what kind of tricky it is. ”

As he spoke, Tiandao waved his hand, and a pavilion appeared out of thin air;

Gu Chen clenched his fists, and then walked into the pavilion with Tiandao, and only after the two of them sat down opposite each other did Gu Chen speak, "Lord Tiandao, there is actually something I don't understand, and I have always asked you about it. ”

"Mr. Gu, but it doesn't matter, I didn't treat you as an outsider, if your problem is okay, then I will definitely tell you. ”

Gu Chen nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "So, I wonder if Lord Heavenly Dao can explain the matter of the Eight-Body Beast King?"

It seemed that Gu Chen's question had long been anticipated, and the Heavenly Dao said without waves, "That's right, the Eight-Body Beast King was the one I used to bring it back to life. ”

"Why are you doing this? Isn't it unfair to do so? You are the way of heaven. ”

Tian Dao smiled, "It's because I'm Tian Dao that I do this. ”

"Why?"

"Because except for the eight-body beast king, there is no other way to suppress the fire phoenix, I have no way, you must have a lot of time with the fire phoenix, what kind of person he is, you should also be clear, right?"

Gu Chen nodded, "It's similar to what you told me last time, Huo Feng looks kind on the surface, but he often reveals his hideous nature, he is very manic, and he is also crazy, Huo Feng is angry, and the corpse is thousands of miles away, it's not that you exaggerate." ”

Tiandao nodded, "The fire phoenix is an existence beyond the five elements, and I am helpless against him, since he is such a guy, do you think I should let it go?"

"Of course not, you are the Heavenly Dao, you are in charge of the law and order of this world, and the fire phoenix is beyond the destroyer of the order, you will definitely take action against him. ”

"That's it. "Tiandao Dao Dao, "Huo Feng is a saboteur, he threatens the whole world, I can't help but deal with him, but no one in my hands can subdue him, for this reason, I can only bring the eight-body beast king back to life, and use him to contain the fire phoenix, but in this way, I am indeed unfair, but awakening an eight-body beast king, and the destruction caused by the fire phoenix, which do you think is the one I should choose?"

Gu Chen didn't even think about it, "It must be to wake up the eight-body beast king to suppress the fire phoenix, it seems that I was abrupt just now, and I ask Lord Tiandao to forgive me." ”

"Heh, what's there to forgive, just say it, what questions do you have?"

Gu Chen nodded, "It's still a small question, I want to know, since the Heavenly Dao Lord knew that I was going to the Death Continent, why didn't he notify the Eight-Body Beast King in advance? In the Death Continent, I was almost killed by him, if it wasn't for a talisman to save my life, you wouldn't have seen me anymore." ”

Tiandao nodded slowly, "You have doubts about this, it is indeed normal, after all, our goal is to deal with the fire phoenix, even if it is a person on the same front, I should inform the eight-body beast king and tell him that you are my own person, but I have my helplessness." ”

"Are you still helpless?"

"Heh, of course there is, I know that in your eyes, as a Heavenly Dao, I am omnipotent, but I am indeed not omnipotent, the Death Continent is a chaotic place, I can't enter that place at all, to put it bluntly, I can't contact the Eight-Body Beast King at all. ”

Gu Chen's face was surprised; "This ...... Doesn't this mean that the Eight-Body Beast King is out of your control? Are you not afraid that he will secretly collude with the Fire Phoenix and turn against you?"

"I'm not afraid, but I do have worries in this regard, however, I have no other choice, because only in the Death Continent can I imprison the Fire Phoenix. ”

Seeing Tiandao say this, with a helpless expression on his face, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that Lord Tiandao would have such helplessness, but I didn't expect it." ”

"Heh, if you don't do it in your position, you don't want to do it, everyone has their own troubles, and no one is an exception, including me, go on, what else do you want to ask?"

Gu Chen thought for a moment, and he shook his head slowly, "No, all the questions, the adults have explained for me." ”

"Really?"

"This ...... There really isn't any. ”

"Okay, then let me ask you a question, do you have something to hide from me?"

Gu Chen's face was instantly embarrassed, "This, this, my lord, you, why do you say that, I, of course I won't hide anything from you." ”

"Ancient dust. Tiandao's voice said softly, "I said, this is just a conversation between our friends, I am very honest with you, but if you hide anything from me, it will inevitably seem a little unkind, you really have nothing to hide from me?"

Gu Chen's face was ugly, a layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead, and he said, "It's, actually, there is really one thing I haven't said here. ”

"Anyway, today we're just talking to friends, and nothing counts. ”

Gu Chen took a deep breath, and finally looked up at Heavenly Dao's eyes, and said, "Actually, I've already seen Mu Dao. ”

Tian Dao's face did not change; "Great scholar?"

Gu Chen nodded, "That's right, it's him, he has already told me all about you, so, I know everything." ”

Tian Dao smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Tell me, I want to know what he said about me." ”

"Of the five paths, you killed three, and now only the wooden path and the fire path remain. ”

"Indeed, don't you want to ask me this question?"

"I, I ....... ”

"You're afraid. Tiandao said, "You're afraid that after you ask, I'll kill you, hehe, I said, this is a conversation between our friends, you can talk about anything, okay, since you have doubts, then I'll tell you, it's not a big deal anyway." ”

Tiandao got up, looked outside the stone pavilion, and said, "Among the five realms, it is true that I killed the three realms of gold, water and earth, but the reason why I killed them is because I don't want to see them replaced. ”

"Superseding?"

"That's right, didn't the great scholar also replace the wooden way? In doing so, he has already violated the way of heaven, the five paths, the nature is simple and straightforward, if he is replaced by humans, it will inevitably be changed by the treacherous, cunning and suspicious character of human beings, I do this to prevent this change and maintain the simplicity of the five paths. However, I was still slow after all, Mu Dao was replaced by a big scholar when he was evading my pursuit, and Huo Dao, I couldn't see through him, and I still don't know if he was replaced by Huo Feng. ”

"Nope. Gu Chen stood up and said, "The fire path has not been replaced. ”

Tiandao turned to look at Gu Chen, and wondered, "How do you know?"

"Because, the Great Scholar wants me to replace the Fire Dao, in fact, he has a plan that you don't know about. ”

"What? he has a plan I don't know about?"

"That's right. Gu Chen said slowly, "Actually, the great scholar has always treated me as a chess piece to cultivate ....... ”

Gu Chen told the truth, telling all the plans of the Great Scholar, including that he seemed to be plotting with the Fire Dao to deal with the Fire Phoenix, but in fact he was dealing with the Fire Dao and wanted him to become the Fire Dao.

After listening to Gu Chen's narration, Tiandao looked surprised, as if she had just learned the news, but Gu Chen could see that she was not surprised at all in her heart, she was surprised, she was pretending to be for herself, she was acting!

However, isn't Gu Chen acting?

The reason why Gu Chen put these together was to gain the trust of Heavenly Dao, because Heavenly Dao knew that he was playing a game with the Great Scholar, and when Gu Chen said these now, he betrayed the Great Scholar, and his intention was clear, and he intended to fall to her side.

And Heavenly Dao didn't know at all that there was a Mai behind Gu Chen.

He's not a pawn either, he's a part of Mai's plan!

Gu Chen betrayed the great scholar, but he gained the trust of Heavenly Dao and kept Mai's secret, and the trust of Heavenly Dao is particularly important, because what he has to do next, once he is suspected by Heavenly Dao, there is only a dead end.
