The Growth of a God
Chapter 913 - 23: The Rank of the Great Celestial Elder
As it turns out, He Feng’s divination skill indeed inherited the true essence of Huo Dou.
Just as He Bo left the 749th Bureau, he received another call from headquarters.
"Hello? What is it this time?"
As soon as He Bo answered the call, a video signal was sent to his phone.
It was a signal from the satellite of the 749th Bureau headquarters, a signal exclusive to the chiefs of the 749th Bureau.
"This is..."
In this 749-level exclusive channel, the real-time footage from a high-altitude satellite was displayed before He Bo.
It was a scene captured after a long period of screening and observation, where the Primordial Celestial Venerable was confronting Li Hao and Huanglong.
He Bo was no stranger to the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
After all, he was responsible for transporting this immortal body, and he almost lost his life during that mission.
As for Li Hao’s dragon-headed human form, He Bo was aware of it as well.
After all, the Book of Binding Gods was still displayed in the 749th Bureau, so how could he not record this mysterious divine being?
"Are they the ones who caused this abnormal event?"
With a touch of realization, He Bo observed more intently the confrontation between the three parties.
Then He Bo noticed that it seemed the three parties in the confrontation had reached some sort of consensus.
First, the large, winding Huanglong began to move.
"Roar!"
Evidently, the scene was in a video.
Yet the long roar of Huanglong transcended the spatial distance, clearly reaching He Bo’s ears.
The next second, the shadow that covered the sky disappeared, replaced by a giant tower entwined with Huanglong.
From the perspective of the high-altitude satellite, the giant tower was entirely of Xuanhuang hue, yet its height was comparable to that of Mount Everest.
Mysterious and unfathomable talismanic maxims briefly flashed on the tower’s surface, and Huanglong continued to let out an earthshaking dragon roar.
"Roar!"
Amidst the resonating dragon roar, the Primordial Celestial Venerable moved right after.
Rumble...
Along with a thunderous sound that echoed across the globe.
A gigantic shadow, seemingly larger than the planet and the galaxy, flickered momentarily.
As if, in that instant, He Bo saw the entire cosmic starry sky.
The resulting awe and fear made He Bo’s eyes widen, momentarily forgetting his own existence.
More eerily, it seemed as though only He Bo had seen that enormous shadow.
From other onlookers’ perspectives, the Primordial Celestial Venerable’s incarnation merely recited a chant lowly and then stepped towards the giant Xuanhuang tower.
Soon, the Primordial Celestial Venerable controlled the giant tower to tear through space-time, completely leaving Earth.
"..."
Casually watching the space-time rift that almost split the planet in two.
Once he confirmed that the Primordial Celestial Venerable’s incarnation had indeed left with the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, Li Hao lowered his head to look at the Earth under his feet.
For he knew the entire Earth might enter a new era due to this unexpected incident.
Thinking thusly, Li Hao turned around and likewise returned to the Divine Treasure Vault.
Swoosh!
Thus, after the Primordial Celestial Venerable and Li Hao left one after another, the massive space-time rift beyond Earth also closed.
In the Fallen Area, things like space-time rifts simply cannot exist for long.

"God of Gods?"
Hua She, who had long been waiting, eagerly approached Li Hao with a curious look, examining him from head to toe.
"What?"
With a disgruntled glance, Li Hao pushed Hua She’s head away with his hand.
"Nothing, I just wanted to know if you finally agreed to that transaction?"
Through the Vast Heaven Mirror in the Divine Treasure Vault, Hua She had witnessed the entire conversation between Li Hao and the Primordial Celestial Venerable’s incarnation.
Only when the Primordial Celestial Venerable’s incarnation proposed the transaction, the information regarding the Great Celestial Elder was concealed.
Hua She wasn’t sure if it was because it involved the Great Celestial Elder or simply because Li Hao and the Primordial Celestial Venerable didn’t want outsiders to know about the exchange.
Nonetheless, Hua She didn’t mind much as she could directly ask the person involved.
"Do you even need to think about it?"
"That’s a third of Celestial Father, would you refuse?"
Slightly raising his eyebrows, Li Hao spoke with an understanding tone.
"Aren’t you worried that the future Great Celestial Elder might hold it against you?"
"I thought with your temperament, you wouldn’t accept such a hot potato?"
Blinking, Hua She felt she might have underestimated Li Hao’s temerity.
"I’m merely cautious, not afraid of causing trouble."
"I’ve practically stripped Primordial Celestial Venerable naked; otherwise, why would he reveal such matters to me?"
"As long as I ensure the Primordial Celestial Venerable isn’t intentionally leading me into a trap."
Li Hao’s words had some logic, yet they made Hua She feel unfamiliar.
"And what about the Great Celestial Elder?"
Though the Primordial Celestial Venerable’s incarnation didn’t explicitly say, Hua She was no naive fool.
Taking over a third of the Great Celestial Elder’s Primordial Spirit and obsession naturally entails assuming the Great Celestial Elder’s karma and trouble.
"I am myself, and the Primordial Celestial Venerable is the Primordial Celestial Venerable."
Slowly opening his palm, an ethereal white lotus emerged from Li Hao’s hand.
It was the Primordial Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit, also the Great Celestial Elder’s obsession.
The white lotus was merely an external manifestation; at its essence, it was a third of the Great Celestial Elder’s power during his peak, a status commanding All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Theoretically, should Li Hao choose to unite with this white lotus, he would become the second Primordial Celestial Venerable.
"The Primordial Celestial Venerable doesn’t want the Great Celestial Elder to resurrect, so what does that have to do with me?"
"I merely want to study the Great Celestial Elder’s Primordial Spirit, not hinder his return."
As he said this, there was a slight pause in Li Hao’s tone.
"One day, if the Great Celestial Elder truly resurrects, returning this third of the Primordial Spirit to him, then what?"
Li Hao never intended to occupy the white lotus for long.
Conversely, the Primordial Celestial Venerable likely hoped for Li Hao to inherit the Great Celestial Elder’s Primordial Spirit and undertake his karma.
"You are truly cunning!"
Having listened to enough, Hua She finally grasped Li Hao’s intentions and couldn’t help but smile and jest.
"How can this be called cunning?"
"This is called wisdom, this is being self-aware."
Flicking Hua She’s forehead, Li Hao also shook his head and laughed.
"Perhaps the Primordial Celestial Venerable thought I was someone coveting the Great Celestial Elder’s power, yet little did he know I have no intention of treading the former’s path."
"If I truly aim to become Celestial Father, becoming the unparalleled Celestial Father in All Heavens and Myriad Realms is my goal."
Hearing this, Hua She suddenly recalled the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda taken away by the Primordial Celestial Venerable’s incarnation.
"And what about your Huanglong Incarnation? The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda? And the Huang Yi King Incarnation within the tower?"
"Have you just given them all to the Primordial Celestial Venerable?"
Maintaining a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, Li Hao replied in a low, noncommittal voice.
"I might dare give them to him; you should ask if he dares to use them."
"I temporarily lent them to the Primordial Celestial Venerable to aid in his revival."
"Besides, the current me has already mastered Xuanhuang Qi, and bearing a third of the Great Celestial Elder’s Primordial Spirit, creating a few more powerful incarnations is but a thought away."
