My Life Anthem Covers the Globe

Chapter 488 488: The Saint Master Departs, Identity Revealed

Su Qi's thoughts were quite simple.

He knew that with his current strength, it would be difficult to take control of this divine corpse.

Rather than handing it over to the Celestial South Saint Master, it would be better to reveal the corpse to the public. Acting so high-profile could help the Ninth District gain more resources and avoid many troubles,

after all.

With the banner of the Celestial South Saint Master, those coveting the divine corpse would have to be somewhat wary.

Moreover, separating from the divine corpse could be a matter of timing or method, otherwise, the Saint Masters who obtained the divine opportunity would not be walking around carrying the divine corpse.

Of course.

Although he knew the Celestial South Saint Master understood this aspect, Su Qi did not dare to speak up easily.

Even hinting at it was not an option, as once that direction was mentioned, so long as the Celestial South Saint Master hadn't lost his mind, he would be inclined to think along those lines.

In fact.

The Celestial South Saint Master had his suspicions.

However, having once wielded a divine corpse himself, he knew that simply relying on the mental strength of a Destruction-level Transcendent was not enough to harness divine power; this wasn't something that could be compensated by talent alone.

For this reason.

He had always regarded Su Qi as an ancient god resurrecting, and was deeply convinced of it.

It can only be said that experience is the most valuable wealth, yet in some ways, it also becomes a doctrine that shackles divergent thinking.

As the 'Divine Mausoleum' was built, the Celestial South Saint Master finally showed signs of leaving.

In this respect.

Su Qi could sense from his daily conversations with the other party.

Before this, most of the discussions from the Celestial South Saint Master were about the overall situation in the Extraordinary Realm, but now, more and more were about the trivial matters of the Heavenly South Holy City, as if confiding the hardships he had faced over the years.

"The world believes that walking at the peak of the extraordinary, wielding a Holy City, is glamorous beyond measure."

"But they don't know, when the fate of millions rests on one's shoulders, especially in this precarious situation, you can't afford to pause for even a step. In this world, most can fail, and after failure, at most just get back up, but it's different for us. Once we fail, it means the failure of all humanity."

He spoke as if walking on thin ice, revealing a side unknown to others.

Perhaps.

This side would only be revealed before this eternal god.

However.

Such words could not resonate with Su Qi at this moment.

Instead, a certain longing ignited inside him.

"That realm... I also want to ascend and see."

Although he could now wield divine power, he knew this power did not belong to him and would eventually leave him.

It's like renting a luxury car versus owning one; they are two completely different mindsets.

Of course.

Aside from accompanying Su Qi, the Celestial South Saint Master spent most of his time in confidential talks with Pei Jing, though the specifics of the discussions were unknown to Su Qi. It was likely about strengthening the cooperation between them.

In sum.

The current Ninth District no longer lived in fear, using the Evolution Divine Teachings Conservative Faction's banner as a façade, but now truly possessed a formidable backing.

Several days later.

Without anyone knowing, the Celestial South Saint Master, along with Wang Ming and several top-level Catastrophe-level powerhouses, left after notifying Su Qi.

Su Qi's anxious heart finally settled.

He almost couldn't help but jump for joy, like a child seeing his parents leave home, feeling akin to owning the whole world.

Not long after.

Pei Jing also noticed the change in the number of people at this small courtyard.

"Huh?"

"Previously, Lord Wang Ming and the others were always right by that courtyard, why is it that today, they are nowhere to be seen, could it be that..."

Realizing the possibility, Pei Jing was starting to feel uneasy.

Even though the Celestial South Saint Master had provided a series of favorable conditions to the Ninth District during this period, Pei Jing perceived it more as a form of compensation for taking Su Qi away.

"Ah, if you're going to take Su Qi away, I have no objections."

"But at least let me see him one last time before you leave..."

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt inside.

So.

He hurried over to the small courtyard.

However.

Since these were his speculations, he did not rashly walk straight in.

Instead, he stood at the courtyard gate, looking in for a few minutes, and then called out into the yard.

The cautious demeanor made Su Qi inside feel somewhat amused.

"Come in."

When a voice filled with the weight of years came from the courtyard, Pei Jing was startled.

But he quickly realized that this was the god referred to by the Celestial South Saint Master, and he had learned partly about the god's impending slumber.

Although he was not sure why this resurrected god chose to slumber in the Ninth District, he still walked in cautiously.

"One Su Qi exchanged for a divine corpse and the Saint's favor from the Celestial South Saint Master. To others, this might seem like a good trade, but..."

Walking and musing, he soon arrived before the god.

Unlike before, he did not see the figure of the Celestial South Saint Master this time; it was just the god alone in the courtyard.

Pei Jing had seen the god several times.

But never had they spoken.

Hence, Pei Jing remained cautious, though he was just about to speak.

Suddenly.

He heard a familiar voice: "Principal, how have you been these days?"

In an instant.

The goosebumps on Pei Jing's body erupted.

Even though this voice was unfamiliar, the words formed an unprecedented familiarity.

It seemed...

Such a tone could only mean...

He gazed dumbfounded at the ancient aura emanating from the god before him, utterly bewildered.

Only then.

Su Qi no longer needed to pretend to be the resurrected god, and he directly revealed his identity: "Principal, it's me, Su Qi."

Immediately.

Pei Jing displayed a ghostly expression, his face full of bitterness: "My Lord God, please don't joke like that, it might be too much for me to handle."

Evidently.

Even with Su Qi revealing his identity, Pei Jing could hardly believe it.

Aside from their appearance, the aura between the two was worlds apart, not to mention the fact that the other was a being even the Saint Master would accompany.

Seeing this, Su Qi could only recount certain incidents known only to them, to prove his identity.

"Principal."

"Remember when you tricked me into revealing the secrets of the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal?"

"Or when you had me clear the pollution from the revered elders at the back mountain, something even the god wouldn't know about."

"And also..."

As Su Qi recalled all these past events one by one.

Pei Jing's mind was instantly blown!
