After listening to Xuanqing Star Monarch's words, Gu An remained noncommittal.
Xuanqing Star Monarch thought he was uninterested and continued to persuade, humbling himself greatly.
In Xuanqing Star Monarch's mind, Gu An was stronger than the Celestial Emperor. This belief was mainly due to his underestimation of the Celestial Emperor, thinking he was not as capable as the previous one; otherwise, the Celestial Court wouldn't be so chaotic.
Though the reasoning was flawed, the conclusion was correct.
After a long while, Gu An slowly said, "Is the duty of the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch to protect all Merit Immortals?"
His tone was calm, putting great pressure on Xuanqing Star Monarch.
Xuanqing Star Monarch knew that seeking Gu An for such a matter was unreasonable, but he had no other choice.
"Heavenly Monarch, I can only turn to you. In my eyes, the banner of the Merit Immortals can only be you, and only you can truly change the Heavenly Dao."
