"Why?" Tan Yun inquired.
Bai Cheng Divine King continued, "This time, the situation is different. The gathering of the ten divine kings has drawn everyone's attention, and it’s a chance for the nobles to show their respect."
Tan Yun nodded thoughtfully.
He understood that the birthday celebration was not just a simple event; it was a demonstration of power and unity among the nobles and the divine kings.
"What will happen during the celebration?" Tan Yun asked further.
Bai Cheng Divine King chuckled lightly, "There will be various competitions, exhibitions of magic treasures, and a feast. It’s a grand affair meant to showcase strength and alliances."
Tan Yun felt a surge of anticipation.
He had never experienced such a grand event before, and he was eager to witness the power and majesty of the Divine Realm.
"Is there anything special I should prepare?" Tan Yun asked, wanting to make a good impression.
"Just be yourself," Bai Cheng Divine King advised. "Your strength and abilities will speak for themselves."
With that reassurance, Tan Yun felt a bit more at ease, though he still experienced a flutter of nervousness in his chest.
The flight continued, and Tan Yun's mind raced with thoughts of the upcoming celebration, the nobles he might meet, and the potential challenges ahead.
He had much to learn and experience in this world of gods and divine kings.
Bai Cheng Divine King explained, "Because Celestial Master Lingxia had previously promised Zhan Peng and the supreme divine king to arrange marriages for their children during the birthday celebration."
Tan Yun subtly remarked, "Great Commander, I heard that Zhan Peng's eldest son Zhan Zuyun and second son Zhan Zutian have already died. Could it be that his third son Zhan Zusheng is to marry the second daughter of the supreme divine king, Bai Xuanqi?"
"Mm." Bai Cheng Divine King nodded, "Indeed, they are to marry."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun's expression grew serious as he recalled the incidents from years ago when Zhan Zusheng and Bai Xuanqi had hunted him down in the Gods' Abyss.
Back then, he had escaped into the depths of the Gods' Abyss, hiding in the Devouring God Cave, which was the secret lair of the Primeval Giant God and the Savage Wilderness Giant God.
They had assumed he had been killed by the raging aura within the Devouring God Cave, but if he went there this time, he would undoubtedly encounter the two of them. Although he possessed magic treasures for self-preservation and had escaped disaster in the Devouring God Cave before, Zhan Zusheng and Bai Xuanqi might not let him go!
If Bai Cheng Divine King would not protect him, he would be in great danger!
Moreover, what worried Tan Yun even more was that he had killed Jiang Long Divine King's only son, Jiang Fei Xu, in the Gods' Abyss, while Jiang Fei Xu's subordinates had witnessed him entering the Devouring God Cave.
If he went there and that subordinate told Jiang Long Divine King about him, Jiang Long Divine King would surely come after him!
And he was unaware of the relationship between Bai Cheng Divine King and Jiang Long Divine King, Zhan Peng, and the supreme divine king.
Bai Cheng Divine King glanced at Tan Yun, "Yun'er, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"
Tan Yun bowed and asked, "Great Commander, what is your relationship with Jiang Long Divine King, Zhan Peng, and the supreme divine king?"
Although Bai Cheng Divine King did not understand why Tan Yun asked this, he replied honestly, "Not good."
Hearing this, Tan Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yun'er, do you have something to say?" Bai Cheng Divine King pondered.
"Mm." Tan Yun responded, "Great Commander, I must confess, I fear I will bring you trouble this time."
"This is because I killed Jiang Long Divine King's son Jiang Fei Xu back when I was in the Gods' Abyss, and he wanted to kill me."
"What? You killed Jiang Fei Xu?" Bai Cheng Divine King was taken aback, "You bold little rascal!"
"Cough cough." Tan Yun lightly coughed, "I was forced to act at that time. Also, Zhan Zusheng and Bai Xuanqi wanted to kill me then. I hold a grudge against them, and I worry that attending the birthday celebration in the Primordial Chaos Divine City will bring you trouble."
