64 Chapter 2399 Natural Inspiration

Without hesitation, she passed Derivation Gu to Genesis Lotus.

This was the strongest point of the 3 Immortal Kings of Heavenly Court, all of them were willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of humanity.

Whether it be to enslave themselves to alter Heaven's Will or to put the entire race's life in the hands of Fate, or to then go against that Fate by having a method to advance Human Path.

These were all not very beneficial to the Venerables but were all for the benefit of Humanity.

No matter the cost these Venerables would pay it for the greater good.

Though ironically this gave birth to the sort of hypocriticalness in the righteous forces.

Very often people were harmed or put down others for the 'greater' good, even Star Constellation was no exception as she was willing to let Hundreds, Thousands if not Millions of people die so that Heavenly Court could have one more Venerable.

As Star Constellation said: "I,‌ ‌Star‌ ‌Constellation,‌ ‌have‌ ‌sinned‌ ‌to‌ ‌create‌ ‌an‌ ‌advantage‌ ‌for‌ ‌the‌ ‌righteous‌ ‌path.‌ ‌I‌ ‌am‌ ‌sinful‌ ‌for‌ ‌sacrificing‌ ‌countless‌ ‌people! But‌ ‌I‌ ‌am‌ ‌willing‌ ‌to‌ ‌bear‌ ‌this‌ ‌heavy‌ ‌sin‌ ‌to‌ ‌create‌ ‌more‌ ‌hope‌ ‌for‌ ‌the‌ ‌future,‌ ‌for‌ ‌humanity,‌ ‌and‌ ‌for‌ ‌the‌ ‌righteous‌ ‌path"

But to what end did that accomplish?

Qi Sea might have died but so did Primodial's resurrection method.

Sure, she has a bunch of Qi Path Gu and even Hu Land!

But without Primordial these things were useless.

"Genesis, I have caused Heavenly Court to lose too much I am the greatest sinner in all of Human history I…"

But Genesis Lotus held his finger up to stop her.

He shook his head, and gently said: "It's not your fault doesn't let a few hurdles stop you, and besides nothing is ever truly a loss for good,"

"Your second greatest regret is the death of all of Heavenly Court members? Then let's bring them back!" Genesis Lotus snapped his fingers.

Immediately the entire Divine Emperor City burst forth with brilliant light.

Countless wisp of light began converging into the Divine Emperor city.

Genesis Lotus was waving his hands around controlling those bits of Human Qi and Will.

"I can't give them back their memories, there has been too much destruction and quite some time has passed,"

Star Constellation was a little sad to hear that.

"But I can give them back their personalities and whatever memories they have left, I can also help them advance further than ever before in their previous path or they can switch paths!"

"Either way with the help of Derivation Gu we will have top-quality experts in their prime! Eh?"

Star Constellation was in complete awe until Genesis Lotus's 'eh'.

"Is something wrong?" she was quite nervous about this project as a lot of guilt was riding on her shoulders.

Genesis Lotus stammered and shyly looked away from Star Constellation: "I…its nothing, erhm whatever you do by yourself is not my concern."

Star Constellation was very confused.

Meanwhile, in Longevity Heaven.

"Father, Father you must see this!"

Giant Sun was sitting on top of his throne in deep contemplation when Light Emperor came bursting in.

"What is it, my son? What's the pressing matter?"

Giant Sun was not in a very happy mood as after Hei Lou Lan had woken up she had relayed all the info that Reckless had told her to him.

Being told that he wasn't favored highly amongst the Venerables and was to be used as a steppingstone did not make him happy.

"It's well it's errr how do I put it errr Heavenly Court is…"

His continued stammering was putting Giant Sun into a very bad mood: "What is it!"

The shout startled him, causing him to stutter more: "Its well uhm Heavenly Court's Star Constellation is errr"

"Spit it out already!"

"Argh just see for yourself," Light Emperor tossed Giant Sun a mortal Information Gu.

Slightly infuriated Giant Sun decided to take a look for himself, and what he saw caused his jaw to drop, his eyes to water, and his nose to bleed.

In Treasure Yellow Heaven,

A certain store had a video being played, well more like a slide show.

The pictures on it were not very high resolution and were blurred in some areas.

But the face was in 8k ultra-HD.

The store sign read: "Now selling exclusive pictures of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable in her 'private' time."

There was a sign accompanying it: "First 1000 gets a sneak preview at the next collection titled: The Naughty Venerable!"

Needless to say, there were many people lining up.

"It can't be real, can it?"

"Who knows, but the aura around it feels like her."

"Ya and that deep gaze that penetrates your Soul has to at least come from a strong woman, it's not something you can just fake."

"What if it's a look-alike?"

"Well even so it's a very convincing one and besides which ordinary person would dare defame a Venerable?"

"I get what you mean, offending a Venerable just because of Fang Yuan is certainly not a good trade."

Of course, the culprit was Fang Yuan!

He had dispelled the effects of Star Constellation's trick but he wanted revenge.

"Hmph, don't blame me for resorting to this,"

The line was steadily progressing, and people were buying as many as they could.

But as a Refinement Path Venerable Fang Yuan could have ensured that supply everyone one but the limitedness of it made it all the more desirable.

After just an hour he was already out of batch 1!

"Come again tomorrow folks where I will be releasing a second batch!"

Star Constellation stood in front of the signs and saw the screen, she was absolutely gobsmacked shocked!

"F..F…FANG YUAN!!!"

Of course, she didn't roar that out loud as it would make it easy for everyone to recognize her, she did not want to be seen at the moment.

Genesis Lotus stood nearby and saw how hard she was clenching her fists.

"Ahh Fang Yuan you've gone too far this time…" Genesis Lotus shook his head.

It was one thing if the photos just showed her naked but somehow, they were all of Star Constellation posing for the photographer.

"It must be Reputation Gu!" as a Wisdom Path Venerable she put the pieces in extremely fast but this actually posed a bigger problem.

"That damn Reputation Gu knows everything…" there were certain birthmarks on Star Constellation's body that nobody, except her master, knew about, and now…

"Whoa, this is either super real or fake there's this birthmark right on Star Constellation's right bu….."

"Arggghh," Star Constellation screamed out as she heard some Gu Immortals walk by.

They were scared as they thought it was someone who had lost their mind.

Genesis Lotus walked up to her and was about to try and comfort her…

"Say anything and I will break you."

"Understood."

The both of them left Treasure Yellow Heaven.

But before Genesis Lotus left a hooded figure bumped into him and fell backward.

"Ahh," he landed with a thump.

Genesis Lotus shook it off and left.

The figure smiled.

Back in Emperor City,

Genesis Lotus discovered he had a Gu in his aperture that his Will brought back.

"Strange I don't remember buying anything."

He thought back to the incident with the stranger.

"Hmm? He gave me this Gu it could be malicious but it's only a Rank 5 Gu?"

The Gu was purely black and in the shape of an oval.

"Could it be…"

Genesis Lotus looked and the words that greeted him were: "The Naughty Venerable Sneak Peek for Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable."

*Pshh*

Genesis Lotus spat: "If Star Constellation finds out about this I am screwed…"

And he kept the Gu in a hidden formation within his Aperture: "This way if someone even tries to use Theft path of Information path methods to see it, the formation will destroy it…but let me take a little peek who knows there maybe some insight to Fang Yuan's tactics in here."

But Fang Yuan's 'tactics' were a lot more sinister than he imagined.

He started bleeding from his nose.

"Genesis are you okay?" Star Constellation called out, which made it worse.

"I'm fine I'm fine it's just my body isn't fully recovered and attempting to revive all the Heavenly Court members just took out a bit more than I expected," He covered his nose, trying not to look at Star Constellation.

Star Constellation was very touched to see her ally go through so much trouble and hardship for Heavenly Court.

"I'll do anything to help just name it,"

The blood began spurting out at a high volume when she said that.

"Fang Yuan's trap is most sinister indeed to think the second collection was not a slideshow but a video!"

That's right! The words 'I'll do anything' triggered a reaction with Genesis Lotus who nearly died out of guilt, embarrassment, and lust.

"It's ok, just try to think of what our next step should be," he calmed himself down and began to focus on facilitating and helping the fallen members of Heavenly Court.

Star Constellation nodded and began deducing.

Seeing the movement of Emperor City Fang Yuan began to deduce using Stealing Heavenly Secrets and Wisdom Gu.

"I see, so those lights are the remnant Wills, Souls, Emotions, Memories and other aspects of the fallen Heavenly Court members."

He quickly managed to piece together that they were trying to revive Gu Immortals: "The question is how?"

He looked into the structure of Emperor City and was sure there was no such feature.

"How strange… unless it's related to Painting Path!"

Indeed, inside Emperor City, the Wills were being funneled into the Painting Path Killer Move, Contended Lifestyle.

Emperor City itself was created by Primordial Origin to be built on the biggest Human Node in the world, thus, having a lot of inspiring Humans to gather there.

But Genesis Lotus added the Killer Move, Contended Lifestyle, which made use of Emperor City but was not a part of it.

Thus, he could not observe the scene within.

Natural Inspiration was not omniscient.

It knew everything that the Heavenly Dao knew.

But it only revealed a limited amount.

For example, asking the Heavenly Dao about eternal life would yield nothing, not because it didn't exist, but because the Heavenly Dao did not contain enough knowledge to give an answer.

But another limitation is if the Gu Immortal asks for a Gu recipe that's also too hard. Not because it doesn't exist but because it goes beyond the scope of 1 Natural Inspiration.

The best way to describe it is like all the knowledge of The Heavenly Dao comes with a price tag.

Some are cheap, some are expensive.

Natural Inspiration is like having a voucher, not cash.

You can redeem this set amount, no change, if your voucher says $10 you can redeem up to $10 worth of knowledge.

Any more and you get a partial response, any less and the extra money is wasted.

Thus, it takes great skill to make your money count.

Or brute force your way like Fang Yuan.

With unlimited vouchers, Fang Yuan is able to ask as many questions as it takes but he has to piece it together himself.

Of course, questions like Immortality are so far beyond, no amount of voucher can redeem it, Fang Yuan is in a similar situation with Painting Path.

It only exists conceptually, and Genesis Lotus is extremely careful in not letting it out.

Thus, anything to do with Painting Path is limited when asked by the Heavenly Dao.

The best he got was: "Yes. Painting Path exists."
