Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Neither Men Nor Women, Never Surrender (4th Update)
Gong Wunian suddenly felt as though her heart had been emptied.
Yet she dared not disobey her master’s words and could only bow her head in silence.
The Lady of Shining Starlight turned her head to glance at her, sighing softly to herself.
She knew from the very beginning that Gong Wunian would react this way.
Because she understood too well the competitive spirit of Gong Wunian.
Such a blow would be far too heavy for her.
...
It was practically destroying all that she had built in the first half of her life.
This filled the Lady of Shining Starlight with sympathy, but remembering the Divine Child, she too remained silent.
At that moment, the Ziwei Divine Child spoke indifferently, “When does the Grand Assembly of Thousands begin?”
“To the Divine Child, it will start in half a month.”
“Good! Prepare for it, I will attend in person.”
“Yes!”
The Ziwei Divine Child slowly ascended the grand observatory platform and said indifferently, “Moreover, has there been any strangeness in this world lately?”
“That… there shouldn’t be,” Fan Dingtian replied, turning to Gong Wunian.
Because currently, Gong Wunian was responsible for many of the specific affairs of the Mountain Sea Sect.
Gong Wunian was just about to take out the Jade Slip.
But the Divine Child, sitting on the spacious chair of the observatory, gestured with a hook of his finger, “Come here, serve me!”
Gong Wunian trembled all over, gazing in shock at the Ziwei Divine Child.
“What’s the matter? Didn’t you hear me?” asked the Ziwei Divine Child indifferently.
Seeing Gong Wunian’s confused expression, Fan Dingtian quickly urged, “Wunian, the Divine Child is summoning you to come forward!”
Gong Wunian snapped out of her haze, then bowed her head and, trembling, stood up to walk toward the observatory.
Fan Dingtian showed a relieved expression.
However, including the Ziwei Divine Child, no one noticed Gong Wunian’s hand tightly clutching the Jade Slip inside her sleeve, abruptly breaking it in half with force.
Everything recorded upon it naturally vanished as well.
She then took a deep breath, lifted her head, and slowly approached the Ziwei Divine Child, who wore a slight, mischievous smile.
Fan Dingtian and the various peak masters slowly receded, quietly disappearing into the darkness.

In the land of the Central Province, its vastness unknown across tens of thousands of miles, countless races lived within it, and the number of Cultivators and nations were as numerous as the stars.
But on the very edge of Central Province, bordering the mountain ranges of the Demon Race, lay a barren land where a very ancient yet disaster-prone kingdom existed.
Ancient Hua Country.
At this moment.
Within the dilapidated capital of Ancient Hua Country, a funeral banquet was being held in the exceedingly humble Imperial Palace banquet hall.
Unlike other banquets filled with laughter and jovial talk, the banquet hall at this moment was utterly silent, all faces filled with grief and solemnity.
Seated at the primary seat was a gaunt-faced, middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes and a weary expression.
He was the Emperor of Ancient Hua Country, Hua Fu!
It should be said that every Emperor of Ancient Hua Country bore this name.
The tradition had reached him through over four hundred generations.
At the moment, Hua Fu stared blankly at the three young men standing before him, his heart filled with a mix of indescribable sentiments.
“Three brave youths, the journey you embark upon is one of extreme peril, with a likelihood of nine deaths to one life. Have you… truly considered this?”
The three men looked at each other, and then the most beautiful youth at the forefront, whose appearance resembled that of a girl, bowed and said,
“Your Majesty, we have indeed considered it! Even if there were no hope of survival at all, we would not allow the noble Hua Clan to be slighted by the other races!”
His words made many of the old officials in the room secretly wipe their eyes.
It had been too long.
These words set off a tempest of applause in the banquet hall.
