I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 972: Terrifying Malice, Immortal Civilization Comes to the Dao Chang Realm

The decision made by Wan Yanxiu and others naturally represented the decision of the entire Spiritual royal family. Although Bone Ancestor preferred solitude and harbored no concerns, Gu Changge could easily dictate his fate. Until he possessed enough strength to challenge Gu Changge, entertaining second thoughts was out of the question.

Therefore, Gu Changge wasn’t taken aback in the slightest by the choices made by the others. This world operated on the principle of the weak being preyed upon by the strong. Once you occupied the summit, you wielded the power to determine the destiny of all beings.

The new real world, the ancient real world, and the mightiest real world weren’t evaluated based on comprehensive backgrounds, but rather on the strength of the mightiest individual. When the most powerful figure in the real world passed away, its influence inevitably waned, regardless of the accumulation of its background.

In the vast sea, there existed numerous beings akin to Bone Ancestor, who had forsaken their past and everything associated with it. For them, the past and future held no significance. Merely existing and contemplating enabled them to establish a formidable orthodoxy and fashion a powerful world instantaneously.

“Though the boundless sea is in turmoil, with overlapping time and space in many regions and the heavens in disarray, once the coordinates of the boundless are grasped, the true location can be determined.”

“The Xudan Realm…” Gu Changge’s thoughts raced as she endeavored to pinpoint the location of the Xudan realm using the boundless coordinates.

Bone Ancestor, Wan Yanxiu, and the others couldn’t help but shiver as if a spine-chilling terror capable of shattering their very souls had swept over them. Conversely, those in the Spiritual Realm with weaker cultivation exhibited less reaction to this phenomenon.

At the moment Gu Changge pondered, in a specific region within the depths of the boundless sea, there existed endless spatial and temporal turbulent flows. Countless instances of time and space overlapped, engulfed in chaos, and the Dao storm there was so formidable that it could only be described as overwhelming. It permeated every inch of that longitude.

Within this terrifying Dao storm, even Immortal Kings fared worse than ants. The instant they were caught within it, they could be reduced to ashes, utterly erased from any longitude or space.

Amidst the chaotic time and space depths, a brilliant golden light enveloped a certain area, resembling a colossal sun hanging high within it. Dense layers of ancient universes and worlds swirled around this immense sun, akin to nebulae blanketing and encircling the surroundings. Each layer of nebula contained countless planets, with endless worlds incubating within them, shrouded in profound mystery.

Nestled closest to the clouds surrounding this colossal sun was an ancient real world, teeming with vitality, ancient wisdom, and an array of creatures and formidable individuals. Yet, this was merely the outskirts of the Xudan realm. As a potent real world, it had endured for countless years, birthing countless legends and myths. The sheer number of ancient real worlds it was connected to was staggering.

But just as Gu Changge contemplated, a shocking transformation unfolded in that very place. A terrifying Dao storm materialized around the nebula, sweeping through the desolation, and the entire world appeared on the brink of collapse. A pervasive layer of profound, chilling darkness emerged seemingly out of nowhere, threatening to engulf the golden sun.

“The river of fate churns, and even our path begins to waver. Why do dark spots appear in the fortunes of my Xudan realm…”

“This malevolence is truly terrifying. What manner of entity would dare set its sights on my Xudan realm?”

“Even the river of fate issues a warning.”

“Yet, the catastrophe has not yet arrived, its manifestation still unseen. How can such twists and turns occur in the current boundless world?”

An elderly man exuding an immortal aura, garbed in a voluminous white robe and surrounded by a mysterious aura as vast as the heavens themselves, sat cross-legged within the depths of endless time and space. However, in this moment, he was abruptly stirred from his meditation, his eyes wide with horror as he witnessed a series of incredulous events unfolding before him.

The once tranquil river of fate now appeared to boil, with countless shards of Dao erupting from its depths. This marked the first instance in the venerable cultivation journey of the white-robed elder that he had witnessed such an occurrence. Even employing unfathomable divination techniques would prove futile in this instance.

This insidious malice descended unexpectedly. He couldn’t fathom its origin, yet it tainted the once prosperous and auspicious Xudan realm with dark blemishes, gradually eroding its splendor.

“My Xudan Realm harbors billions of ancient fortunes, spawns numerous geniuses, and boasts boundless blessings. How could this occur?”

“The early warnings of the river of fate prove futile. Could it be that the onset of calamity is hastening?”

The expression on the face of the white-robed elder shifted rapidly as he employed various methods, endeavoring to stabilize the turbulent river of fate. However, despite his efforts, a significant portion of destiny continued to elude him, dissipating from the river’s flow. Before his eyes, the once smooth and expansive river of fate vanished into thin air.

“Not only is fortune susceptible to erosion, but fate itself may also evaporate. When destiny fades, my Xudan Realm may face an unimaginable catastrophe.”

The complexion of the white-robed elder grew faintly pallid in this moment of crisis. The sudden occurrence left him feeling unsettled, prompting him to swiftly depart from his spatial-temporal perch to confer with the other leaders of the Xudan realm.

…

“Lord Zhuo You, ahead lies the newly formed real world we’ve been surveying. It likely retains remnants of immortal civilization.”

Simultaneously, a colossal ancient warship, adorned with countless intricate and profound markings, traversed the vast expanse, rapidly nearing the Dao Chang Realm. This ancient warship bore resemblance to a circular flying shuttle, surrounded by an array of formidable substances.

Wind, fire, thunder, lightning, light, and shadow… Each substance exuded astonishing energy, rending the void and disrupting the natural order. This was the ancient warship of immortal civilization, journeying through the vastness and nearing the boundaries of the Dao Chang realm.

Several towering figures shrouded in mysterious mist observed the exterior scene through transparent crystal walls. Their faces were flat, devoid of any discernible features, as if their bodies were mere vessels, disposable at any moment.

The speaker among them stood exceptionally tall, with crackling thunderous light flickering around him.

Unlike ordinary lightning, this type of lightning carried the essence of destruction; even a mere trace could cause an Immortal King to detonate.

A female figure named Zhuo You stood composedly before the crystal wall, also gazing ahead at the unfolding scene.

“The aura that initially unsettled me seems to have dissipated.”

She paid little heed to the words of those around her, lost in her own thoughts.

“If I can locate the remnants of immortal civilization, then I can truly achieve the fourth spiritual transformation. The disparity between the third and fourth spiritual transformations is immense. Throughout our family’s countless generations, few have reached this stage.”

“The opportunity lies before us now. Though there may be unknown dangers in this newly formed real world, I shall embrace the challenge.”

Through Zhuo You’s eyes, one could discern a vast oval-shaped world resembling an egg, gestating before her, with myriad changes unfolding with every breath. Yet, amidst the darkness, faint lights twinkled like stars in the night sky, remarkably conspicuous.

Earth-shattering changes had transpired in the Dao Chang Realm, with fortunes skyrocketing. The once arid nebulae gradually teemed with vitality, birthing ancient universes and worlds. Though the formation of these universes and worlds would require time, it signaled a promising future for the Dao Chang Realm.

Following the fusion of the Upper Realm, the Immortal Domain, and the Foreign Realm, the realm’s development progressed rapidly. Furthermore, owing to the establishment of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance and the reestablishment of laws by Gu Changge, the Dao Chang Realm enjoyed stability and peace. All ethnic groups and factions diligently sought ways to cultivate and grow stronger.

Moreover, numerous talented individuals and geniuses emerged seemingly out of nowhere, blessed with diverse opportunities and strokes of good fortune. In a short span of time, they ascended to heights that ordinary individuals could scarcely reach.

Before Gu Changge’s departure, he had also reestablished the laws of heaven and earth. To accelerate the evolution speed within the Dao Chang real world, the passage of time within it, equivalent to the boundless world, had to be significantly slowed down.

In essence, the rate of time flow in the boundless world differed from that in the Dao Chang real world. While for civilizations spanning the vast expanse, it might be merely a moment, a breath, in the Dao Chang Realm, several years or even longer could have passed. This manipulation could be deemed a defiance of nature, akin to stealing from the heavens and usurping the sun.

From a cosmic perspective, both the boundless world and the real world belonged to the same level of latitude, minimizing the time gap.

“In a maximum of seven days, we’ll reach this real world. Let’s hope it brings us a pleasant surprise.”

On the ancient battleship of the immortal civilization, many clansmen wore expressions of joy. Gazing upon the real world brimming with potent fortune before them was akin to beholding a fertile land abundant with diverse resources.

“Prepare to descend at any moment, soldiers of our clan.”

Zhuo You’s resolve had solidified, her thoughts transmitted and received. Numerous formidable figures, clad in armor, stood upon the ancient warship like immortal mountains, some wielding celestial swords or spears, radiating both fierce determination and dread.

…

In the Dao Chang Realm, the most central universe and former territory of the Immortal Domain, stood the headquarters of the Heaven Slaying Alliance. The realm was adorned with numerous palaces and pavilions, exuding a magnificence akin to the Immortal Tower of Nine Heavens, steeped in the passage of time.

Within one such palace, Gu Wuwang, ancestor of the Gu family, furrowed his brow. An ancient mirror materialized before him, its originally blurred surface now revealing myriad scenes, including those beyond the boundless battlefield, outside the Dao Chang Realm.

“It differs from the catastrophic aura I initially speculated. This is another aura, yet equally potent and terrifying…”

As a Dao realm cultivator, Gu Wuwang possessed extraordinary abilities, utilizing deduction techniques to glimpse scenes within the boundless sea.

An ancient warship resembling a flying shuttle, surrounded by various peculiar substances, traversed the boundless sea, swiftly nearing this realm.

“It appears there’s no escaping after all. I wonder where Gu Changge has vanished to, and whether he still resides within the Dao Chang Realm.”

Gu Wuwang let out a soft sigh, sensing that continued surveillance might alert the figure within the ancient warship to his presence. With a wave of his sleeve, he obliterated the scene in the mirror.

He remained uncertain whether Gu Changge lingered within the Dao Chang Realm or was secluded somewhere within the depths of time and space, amid boundless nothingness.

Though only a few years had passed, decades had elapsed within the Dao Chang Realm since the establishment of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, ushering in numerous changes.

As the deputy leader, Gu Wuwang diligently managed the affairs of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, yet many occurrences remained beyond his anticipation.

He pondered whether Gu Changge had made prior arrangements or harbored ulterior motives.
