God of Pets-Chapter 715: Ji Nanhong Is the Best

Upon hearing this news, Chen Guan immediately understood what was going on.

"King Ji truly went to great lengths, but unfortunately, the Ji family just ground his efforts into the dirt." Chen Guan shook his head with a wry smile.

With Ji Tianwang going to the Celestial Secret Realm, the Ji family lacked the pillar that allowed them to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other nine families.

The reason Ji Tianwang left a ring and set up such an unusual rule instead of giving it directly to the people of the Ji family was to give the Ji family a chance to remain among the ten great families.

Chen Guan speculated that King Ji must have realized there was some hidden mystery within the Jade Divine Statue.

However, Ji Tianwang surely only knew that the person teaching him was not a Jade Immortal but someone else.

He just hadn't figured out who that person was yet.

If he had figured out who this person was, he would have had the Ji family come directly to Chen Guan rather than leave behind such a strange item.

Once Chen Guan understood the whole situation, he secretly felt fortunate.

Fortunate that the Evil God Mountain attacked the city at the right time. Fortunate that the Ji family forcibly pressured Ji Tianwang to leave seclusion.

He guessed that the question Ji Tianwang couldn't work out in seclusion was the mystery of who his master really was.

If Ji Tianwang figured out that mystery, Chen Guan would have nowhere to hide.

Fortunately, now that Ji Tianwang has entered the Celestial Secret Realm, no one knows of his existence.

Chen Guan knew that Ji Changsheng left that ring with two purposes.

One purpose was to find him. Ji Changsheng knew clearly that without a top power figure holding the fort, the Ji family would eventually fall, unable to compete with the other nine families.

Aside from this elusive person, no one else in the Divine Land can accomplish this, or so Ji Changsheng believed.

Thus, by this act, he essentially entrusted the Ji family to Chen Guan, asking him to carry the Ji family forward.

The second reason was to tell the other nine great families not to think they could bully the Ji family just because he was gone; he still had a master around.

Ji Changsheng's breakthrough was so remarkable, surely not without basis. If he could break through by himself, why had there been no movement for eight hundred years, only for him to suddenly make a breakthrough?

Therefore, Ji Changsheng's mentioned master essentially acted as a life-saving talisman for the Ji family. Even if they haven't found this person, the other families, before understanding the true situation, would be cautious and wouldn't directly attack the Ji family, allowing them to linger a bit longer.

Ji Tianwang calculated very well, but unfortunately, he could figure out the laws of all things yet couldn't grasp the nature of his family's minds.

The Ji family disobeyed his order of not letting others take the ring, which first indicates that the Ji family is not united. If they dared to defy Ji Changsheng's last wishes, even if such a person stood out, the Ji family might not accept an outsider. Even if they superficially flattered him, they'd harbor ulterior motives in private.

In such a situation, Chen Guan would not get involved with the Ji family's mess, nor would he help these people.

Of course, even if Chen Guan wanted to go, he didn't have the capability. Even if he completed the Seventh Awakening, he definitely wasn't a match for those Grotto Heaven powerhouses.

Plus, with the Ji family's mindset, it's even more reason not to go.

"King Ji, it's not that I don't want to help you; it's that I truly don't have the ability," Chen Guan muttered to himself.

He might not be helping the Ji family now, but in the future, when he has the strength and opportunity, he would still want to take the ring Ji Tianwang left behind.

As for the Ji family, they were courting their own doom, and no one else could be blamed for that.

Now that they have blocked this, and the Celestial King forcefully slapped them into going in, that so-called master's threat wasn't as strong as before. This was all brought upon by themselves, and no one else could be blamed.

"I still need to quickly increase my level, at least reach the Ninth Awakening before anything else," Chen Guan thought as he had consumed quite a bit of resources recently, reaching Level 58, just two levels away from completing Level 60.

But in terms of inspiration, he was still without any clue.

Exactly what kind of determination was needed to complete the Seventh Awakening, Chen Guan was still unclear.

He thought of many potential ideas, but each seemed to have its drawbacks and couldn't achieve omniscience without flaws.

Of course, omniscience is impossible to achieve; even if Chen Guan takes omniscience as his determination, the resulting Secret Law would still have deviations.

"Do I really need to gamble for that sudden flash of inspiration?" Chen Guan was unwilling to leave his fate to destiny.

"In that case, I will strive for control as my focus and attempt the Seventh Awakening," Chen Guan thought of a new idea. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Since he didn't want to gamble on fate, he decided to attempt self-control.

As for what kind of Secret Law this determination of control would bring him, it actually depended on the influence of two other factors.

Chen Guan first set this idea for himself, then continuously strengthened this determination with it as the backbone until he could achieve the Seventh Awakening.

Right now, achieving the Seventh Awakening is difficult since the level is not reached yet.

Chen Guan searched for Secret Spirit resources while strengthening this determination, and time passed quickly.

The last two levels were really hard to advance. It took Chen Guan more than two years, with a vast amount of pure energy support, to finally break through to Level 60.

In these two years, Chen Guan traveled back and forth between Purple Sun City and the Red Blood Corps.

Purple Sun City had completely grown, having soldiers and people. It could be said it had a wide range of troops and generals, becoming a giant in its own right.

Even without Chen Guan, the ten great families would find it difficult to destroy Purple Sun City.

Other Grotto Heavens are hard to say, but within Pengxuan Grotto Heaven, Purple Sun City is uniquely a giant.

The developments were also quite promising on the Red Blood Corps side. Many kingdoms and cities around had already fallen under Ji Nanhong's control.

But Ji Nanhong was unlikely to stop there. The growth of the Red Blood Corps had already proven her ability. Now, as long as she ascended to the Great Cave Heaven and awakened the Secret Law, she could then decide whether she could become the commander of the Celestial Court Army.

Because the uncertainty of the Secret Law was too great, much like Lifebound Talent, it's too important yet too uncertain. They must wait for Ji Nanhong to complete the Seventh Awakening for a final result.

Ji Nanhong had been preparing for this all along, just like Xiu Jie Ming.

Xiu Jie Ming's performance in the Grotto Heaven was in no way inferior to Ji Nanhong; he even slightly surpassed her.

If not for Ji Nanhong benefiting from being the daughter of the season commander, Xiu Jie Ming might have been more suitable to be the commander.

However, it all depends on what Secret Laws they can ultimately awaken. This will be their most important showdown, and the loser may permanently lose the qualification to compete.

"I can do it, right?" Before closing herself off for the Seventh Awakening, Ji Nanhong looked at Chen Guan and asked.

"Of course, you are the one and only Ji Nanhong. You shouldn't ask this question; no one in this world is better than you. The Secret Law you awaken will also undoubtedly be unique. I've seen your efforts over the years. I used to think talented people didn't need to work hard. Never did I imagine there'd be someone like you – incredibly beautiful, with a great figure, talent, and diligence. If not you, then who would succeed?" Chen Guan cheered for Ji Nanhong with the Spirit of the Cheerleaders.

"Poof!" Ji Nanhong laughed out loud, glanced sideways at Chen Guan, and said, "You exaggerate too much. There are plenty of talented and hardworking people, not just me. And besides, what does that have to do with being pretty?"

Chen Guan reached out to stroke Ji Nanhong's cheek and said seriously, "In my eyes, Ji Nanhong is the best."

Ji Nanhong blushed, but looking into Chen Guan's eyes, she felt something indescribable inside her, a mix of shyness, sweetness, and a surge of an unknown force.
