I Am the Fated Villain

Gu Changge expressed this casually, but it hit like a lightning bolt. It resonated in the ears of all the immortal kings and creatures present, drastically changing their expressions.

“Everything will be offered up?”

These words reverberated in their minds, leaving them profoundly shocked. Before this revelation, they were completely unaware of such a reality, which wasn’t even part of their knowledge.

Only a few seasoned immortal kings, acquainted with the boundless sea, well-versed in ancient texts and comprehended the situation. They fell into a somber silence.

All epochs turn into ruins, and all eras come to an end. Everything in this realm would be sacrificed, serving as the energy to guide the natural world from the shadows.

“In essence, we only have less than a century?”

An immortal king asked with solemnity, previously perceiving the gathering as a grand feast. Now, they were prepared to depart and never return. However, receiving this news at the event was unexpected.

Gu Changge deliberately shared this revelation with them.

“Less than a hundred years?”

The veteran immortal king who had just explained wore a grave expression. He had indeed perused the records regarding the boundless sea.

Countless creatures were conceived and born from that unknown and distant realm, with the immortal domain being just a tiny fraction of the whole. The so-called hunters traversed boundless spaces and latitudes, seeking new targets in the endless sea to sustain their existence in the real world.

Indeed, ‘hunters’ was a broad term. The origins of these creatures navigating the boundless sea remained mysterious. Their motives might not necessarily be solely for the real world behind them; other purposes could be at play.

From a particular perspective, it would never perish if the real world of mountains and seas continued. In a few years, there could be entities resembling hunters venturing into the boundless sea to perpetuate their lives in the mortal world.

Regardless of the age or height of the mortal world, there would come a time of decay and depletion; true immortality was an impossibility.

Some mortal worlds had reached a critical point where they would shatter at the slightest touch due to their prolonged existence.Even if reincarnation underwent restructuring and the vast sky was recreated using the supreme methods, it would eventually crumble. It would return to chaos and face demise.

In such times, many supreme beings sought various means to prolong their lives in their current real world. The collapse of reincarnation meant the loss of eternity, with the world behind them withering away. The scenario would result in the demise of all loved ones, leaving only one individual in the vast world. This person would accompany the immortal Dao alone, rendering existence purposeless.

Numerous creatures navigating the boundless sea clung to the hope of reincarnating and resurrecting their kin, persistently treading the path. If they sensed the aura emanating from a specific mortal world in the boundless sea, they would go to great lengths. They would disregard everything in their pursuit.

One such individual had traversed countless epochs and years in the boundless sea, significantly advancing their cultivation base and becoming invincible in ancient and modern times.

In their eyes, the mortal world resembled the ordinary ancient world they inhabited. Even for an immortal king venturing into the boundless sea, there was a considerable risk of death. This made it challenging to venture far.

When confronted by hunters from the boundless sea, even Immortal Kings found themselves powerless.

In essence, we have limited time left. Chaos may ensue within a hundred years.

Finally an immortal king grasped Gu Changge’s meaning and felt profoundly disheartened. He had believed that attaining the status of an Immortal King and evading the five declines of heaven and man would ensure true immortality.

However, reaching this juncture made hundreds of millions of living beings apprehensive, realizing the many terrifying aspects of the world that were initially overlooked.

Whether it was Gu Changge, who could once wield power to shatter the heavens and collapse immortal palaces, or the impending hunters. They were unquestionably beyond reach.

The immortal kings existed in a realm that surpassed all imagination and touch.

The only way for the immortal domain to avert this catastrophe is to redesign the real world of mountains and seas within the next hundred years.

The upper realm, the foreign land, and the immortal domain were originally a unified entity, but they have been separated for countless epochs. Now, as the impending disaster approaches, it is time for the mortal world of mountains and seas to reemerge in this lifetime.

Gu Changge smiled slightly as his gaze swept over the immortal kings before him. His words resonated in the minds of all the immortal kings, akin to a hammer striking or a roar echoing, causing their expressions to waver.

“I also hope that my lord will bring together the mortal world of mountains and seas and chart a path forward for us.”

Immediately, Immortal King Xue Xiao was the first to respond, speaking respectfully.

At this moment, it didn’t matter whether Gu Changge’s words were intended to stir emotions or were grounded in a reasonable strategy to govern the immortal domain. A choice had to be made and Immortal King Xue Xiao had already expressed his stance earlier. This made him the first to react.

Immortal King Ku Yin, King Chi Lian, and Immortal Chu Kun from the Northern Immortal Domain responded similarly to Immortal King Xue Xiao. They said respectfully, “In a hundred years, the Immortal Domain is destined to face a catastrophe, and we are powerless to oppose it. We also hope that our lord will unite the real world of mountains and seas and safeguard all living beings.”

The unification of mountains and seas became an inevitable trend. Align with this trend to avoid being crushed into oblivion.Despite the strength of the Immortal Kings, they were not immune to cause and effect. They remained tethered to the Three Realms and Six Paths, including all living beings in the mortal world and the past and present.

While the immortal kings of the Central Immortal Domain arrived later, the current situation hinted that if they didn’t make a choice now, Gu Changge might not let them off unscathed. Moreover, lingering suspicions needed resolution. This presented an opportunity for them to exhibit their loyalty and stance.

Even King Luo hesitated only briefly. Like Immortal King Ku Yin and the others, he conveyed his stance, prioritizing allegiance to Gu Changge.

The real world of mountains and seas being reshaped and unified might propel the will of the world in this realm to new heights. For you, this is also an opportunity.

Gu Changge raised his wine glass, his eyes casual as he remarked, “I just wonder if you can endure until that time.”

This wasn’t meant to be alarmist. The current state of the Immortal Domain appeared calm on the surface, but there were subtle undercurrents beneath it.

The immortal king projected an air of detachment, surveying hundreds of millions of living beings. Yet, to those not immersed in the grand scheme, they appeared no different from ordinary creatures.

Gu Changge made a personal appearance in the Southern Immortal Domain to bring an end to those trailing behind him. To his surprise, these individuals proved resilient. Take the followers of the Immortal Palace, for instance. Despite facing their formidable adversary, they suppressed their hatred and retreated.

While a hundred years might seem like an extended period to true immortals, it was a fleeting moment. Therefore, the imperative for the creatures in the boundless sea to step into the mortal world of mountains and seas was pressing. If those behind the immortal domain failed to intervene before that happened, the Immortal Domain’s fate was sealed – a descent into destruction, turning to ashes, and the world obliterated.

In the foreign land, the ancestor of the Immortal Emperor Clan still held a position of power, though not precisely an emperor. From a particular perspective, their strength could temporarily thwart the creatures descending from the boundless sea. Traveling through countless epochs took its toll, and maintaining peak conditions was always impossible.

However, did the real world of mountains and seas only face a crisis from the other side of the boundless sea? Gu Changge disagreed.

Once the boundless coordinates of the mortal world of mountains and seas were exposed, adjacent realms would be set in motion. Furthermore, a new cycle of harvesting loomed in the original world. How many worlds and universes in the vast heavens and actual worlds could escape this impending reckoning?

The banquet concluded relatively quickly. Gu Changge’s words left many immortal kings deeply shaken, their hearts tumultuous. They sensed that someone in Gu Changge’s position must have glimpsed visions of the future, prompting such ominous words—the uncertainty of whether they could survive until that time weighed heavily on them.

Did this imply that even as Immortal Kings, they would merely be pawns in the forthcoming chaos within the Immortal Domain?

This realization left all the immortal kings feeling complex emotions – a mix of terror and suffocation, as if unseen eyes were watching them from the shadows.

A formidable creature was stirring, and its aura cast a looming shadow over all living beings. Before their arrival, many had contemplated various outcomes, even considering the possibility of meeting their demise here, serving as sustenance for the entity before them.

However, Gu Changge appeared remarkably youthful and easy-going, never broaching this aspect. Instead, he warned them of impending chaos in the immortal realm, foretelling unknowable and horrifying events.

The unification of the immortal domain and the foreign realm, along with the reshaping of the real world of mountains and seas, may indeed be our only choice, and also our opportunity!

The existence of the realm of origin renders the Dao of the Immortal Domain incomplete.

We have lingered in this state for countless epochs, with no discernible hope in sight.

Many Immortal Kings had pondered extensively. They had reached this point not as weak-minded individuals but strategic thinkers capable of discerning when and what choices to make.

There are still ancestors of the imperial clan in the foreign land, but it’s unclear how much they know about this matter.

Some immortal kings contemplated this, recognizing that the unification of mountains and seas wasn’t solely the concern of the immortal domain but also involved the other side of the world. If the foreign land resisted, the two realms could escalate into a war.

Since the Western Immortal Domain was captured and transformed into foreign territory millions of years ago, there had been minimal friction and strife between the two worlds. Before the Forbidden Era, the territory of the Western Immortal Domain belonged to the foreign land, relinquished by the ancestor of the Immortal Emperor Clan due to Gu Changge’s existence.

King Luo seized the opportunity to share news from the foreign land, revealing that King Ming of the foreign land sought an alliance with the Central Immortal Domain against Gu Changge. King Luo neither accepted nor rejected the proposal.

“King Ming? Is it the one who escaped in the Western Immortal Territory before?” Gu Changge inquired with a faint smile.

“He can’t escape; he carries the coordinates I left on him. I intend to use him to locate those old figures deeply hidden in the foreign realm.”

His revelation sent a wave of terror through the immortal kings. Previously, they assumed King Ming escaped through strength and luck. Now, it appears that Gu Changge deliberately allowed his escape.

Could it be that Gu Changge’s true objective was to be the ancestor of the current imperial clan in the foreign land? They dared not delve too deeply into such thoughts; the imperial clan’s ancestors existed on different planes. Even a fleeting thought or feeling could be sensed across the vast universe.

I will adhere to your lord’s commands. If your lord plans to attack the foreign land, we can mobilize billions of individuals to fight and be on standby at any time.

The matter held immense significance for the Immortal Domain and the future mortal world of mountains and seas. All the Immortal Kings present displayed wisdom, refraining from asserting their intelligence at this critical juncture. The primary reason was the presence of Gu Changge, dissuading them from harboring any extraneous thoughts.

Beyond the visible immortal kings, many others had never appeared in the current Immortal Domain, especially those from the Central Immortal Domain. King Luo and his companions felt a sense of relief.

They resolved to investigate the news regarding the descendants of the Immortal Palace promptly upon returning to the Central Immortal Domain. Unifying the natural world of mountains and seas would likely reunify the immortal domain during this period.

While the Five Immortal Domains existed in different universes, separated by chaos and turbulence. They believed that Gu Changge’s actions would effortlessly resolve these challenges. As for the realm of origin, they initially hesitated to enter due to Gu Changge’s presence. However, with the Immortal Domain now unified, they anticipated contact and integration between the Realm of Origin and the Immortal Domain.

As the banquet approached its end, many immortal kings contemplated leaving, burdened by myriad thoughts. Gu Changge, however, smiled faintly, diverting his attention to Wang Ziji, who was about to depart with the two immortal kings of the Wang family.

When you see me, are you planning to leave without even saying hello?

Gu Changge had noticed Wang Ziji early on and, while initially surprised, had somewhat anticipated her presence. He had speculated, based on his conversation with Jiang Chuchu, that Wang Ziji might no longer be in the upper realm. Their unexpected encounter was somewhat surprising but not entirely unexpected.

He hadn’t deliberately ignored her; instead, he believed that discussions about the past should follow the conclusion of more pressing matters. However, he didn’t anticipate that the Wang Ziji he recognized would opt to depart silently without offering a greeting. This departure differed from the Wang Ziji he knew before, as her character seemed uncharacteristically reserved.
