I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 896: Witnessed the birth of mythology, merit, and demerit is to be judged by the future generations

The world’s boundaries turned transparent and indistinct, allowing a clear view of the interaction between the two realms. The extensive aftermath possessed enough force to shatter any universe.

Certain ancient realms in the middle resembled broken eggshells, emitting a crisp cracking sound and gradually disappearing. The inhabitants of these realms had already evacuated, avoiding being reduced to ashes by the squeeze and collision, even for those in the immortal realm.

One side of the world crumbled, disintegrated, shattered, and reverted to chaotic disarray. Yet, within these fractured worlds, vitality surged anew. The essence of new life persisted like Daoism, undeterred by the collision of worlds.

At this juncture, Gu Changge appeared as if seated cross-legged at the edge of the heavens, assuming the role of the ruler of heaven and earth. Behind him, a blurred river of time flowed, exhibiting phantoms and shadows.

Raising his palm to envelop the ground, Gu Changge initiated the convergence of the Immortal Domain and the Upper Realm. The Dao-building experts of both realms merged, and three thousand distinct Dao marks emerged and condensed.

The new Dao-building expert extended its influence over both realms, casting light into every corner. The Immortal Domain commenced its amalgamation with the Upper Realm, with the initial point of contact being the expansive universe where the Southern Immortal Domain resided. It promptly crumbled, unable to withstand this new chaotic power.

The cultivators residing in the Southern Immortal Domain witnessed the unfolding events with dread, fearing they might succumb to the collision of the two worlds. However, Gu Changge’s gaze descended, and ripples traversed the Dao-building expert with a gentle wave of his sleeves, mending the traces of collapse. A formidable force emerged, stabilizing the barrier between the two realms.

The convergence of the Dao-building expert from both worlds occurred at a deliberate but unswerving pace. Although a gradual process, it would be brief. Gu Changge’s proper form exerted dominance over heaven and earth, his eyes vigilant over every stretch of the sky.

This marks my first encounter with the Immortal Domain since the Heavenly passage incident.

I anticipated he would breach the passage between the Immortal Domain and the Upper Realm, not merge the two realms into one.

Is he aspiring to revive the ancient glory and restore the world to its pinnacle?

With such audacity, I feel humbled.

Numerous ancient cultivators in the Upper Realm were profoundly moved by this spectacle, expressing admiration for Gu Changge. Those well-versed in historical records understood that Gu Change wasn’t associated with virtue. He embodied cruelty and indifference, deceiving the world with his laid-back and aloof persona.

Since his birth, his actions have drawn the ire of various races. Though rarely spoken about, his deeds were widely known. It was acknowledged that the swift development of the Divine Kingdom, from its inception to its present state, owed much to Gu Changge.

Intimidated by his terrible power, the races and traditions had chosen to submit willingly, relinquishing their autonomy and allowing him to dictate life and death.

Gu Changge’s move to unite the Immortal Domain and the Upper Realm was deemed the first significant accomplishment since the Forbidden Era.

In this moment, the heavens and myriad domains resonated, and radiant brilliance bathed every inch of heaven and earth. Golden holy lotuses blossomed in the universe while the resounding echoes of the Dao filled every void. The profound meaning within seemed capable of guiding all beings towards the ultimate Dao-building expert.

The entire Immortal Domain was instantly enveloped, and every cultivator and creature sensed this profound transformation. It felt like a newborn Heavenly Dao had emerged, its will blanketing the world.

This consciousness extended to the heavens and myriad domains, seeking to encompass everything except the Boundless Sea and the uncharted realms teeming with chaos from ancient times. The forbidden areas, independent of the mortal world, were the only exceptions. The new Dao-building expert extended its influence over every inch of existence.

Cultivators and creatures from the Immortal Domain or the Upper Realm keenly perceived these changes. It wasn’t merely that the aura had intensified and the laws of heaven and earth had become more explicit. The most palpable sensation was the clearer perception of the Dao-building expert.

Previously, the existence of Dao-building experts had been elusive and indistinct, beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators. The new Dao-building expert was lucid and comprehensive, rendering the entire world more conducive for cultivation.

This is the true great world.

Many creatures overwhelmed with excitement, kneeling in utmost reverence toward Gu Changge. Certain cultivators, facing a bleak outlook for further progress in their current lives, were so moved that tears welled up, finding renewed hope for advancement.

It could be asserted that without Gu Changge, their lives would have concluded prematurely, with vitality and vigor drained and an uncertain future awaiting them—a mere waiting game for aging and death.

This achievement wasn’t merely a noteworthy accomplishment but a genuine blessing!

Once relegated to the background, even the ancient beings couldn’t conceal their enthusiasm.

I find it increasingly incomprehensible. If only I had foreseen such a situation hundreds of years ago.

Will those individuals who vied for the era tree regret their choices? Clearly, there was a chance for greater progression.

The rejuvenated Golden Sun Heavenly Goddess stood on the clan soil, silently observing the unfolding events, her expression a mix of complexity. She stood on the verge of immortality, with the opportunity to touch the elusive Dao-building expert now emerging with the fusion of the two realms. The path forward seemed illuminated, even for her.

In the current world, given her exceptional talent, she was destined to become immortal after years of dedicated effort.

The achievements of the ages can be recorded in the annals of future generations.

Beside her, Jiang Luoshen also stood and felt the crystal-clear Dao-building expert descending like light rain, bestowing blessings upon the heavens and reflecting across the world.

Gu Changge’s existence was unique for the beings in the Upper Realm. Some respected him while others feared him, and some harbored deep hatred, eager to dismantle the Divine Kingdom and avenge their fallen ancestors. Gu Changge’s journey was marked by steps stained with endless blood and bones.

In the past disaster of Mount Kun, countless forces and ancient worlds in the universe met their demise. A brief historical fault in the Upper Realm saw many background figures murdered and refined into potent elixirs.

These deeds were too numerous to tally, not to mention the myriad events preceding the disaster of Mount Kun. The queen of the demon world, Xi Yao, muttered to herself, recalling the words Gu Changge had once spoken to her: “Right and wrong, merits and demerits will only be judged by future generations.”

Empress Xi Yao pondered whether Gu Changge had harbored such a purpose and plan from the beginning. His ambitions seemed to transcend the world’s imagination, indifferent to the title of the demon lord. Today’s act of uniting the two worlds using his supreme divine power left her contemplating the magnitude of his achievements. The complexity in Empress Xi Yao’s gaze deepened at the thought of these considerations.

Boom!

A resounding roar filled the air as the new Dao-building expert materialized, causing the six realms of reincarnation to plunge into the universe’s depths, transforming into a vast and mysterious dark silver ocean. The World Tree emerged, colossal in size, its trunk resembling a mythical tree that reached the sky. The leaves on it were luxuriant and dense, each possessing the capacity to encompass an ancient world.

New Epoch Tree!! No, it’s the World Tree now!

I’ve witnessed the birth of a myth.

Countless creatures and monks prostrated themselves on the ground, devout to the extreme. The appearance of the World Tree, observed firsthand, diminished the universe’s enormity. Each leaf swayed, representing a world, and the collective rustling triggered a thunderous resonance, echoing through countless worlds.

In a distant land veiled in surging mist, immortal kings of foreign races stood tall amidst endless chaotic air. Though not directly connected to the foreign realm, they perceived the changes in the Immortal Domain. The vast sound of the world, despite the infinite distance, reached them.

“The Immortal Domain and the former realm of origin have begun to be unified…”

“I just don’t know when it will spread to the foreign realm.”

These foreign immortal kings spoke with a heavy heart, refraining from intervening at this critical juncture.

They could sense that the Dao laws of the Immortal Domain suppressing them had become even more formidable. Venturing into the Immortal Domain at this time would undoubtedly exact a heavy toll. Moreover, the orchestrator of these events was Gu Changge—an existence feared even by the ancestors of the imperial clan.

The awakened patriarch of the imperial clan maintained an ambiguous stance on the matter, leaving many immortal kings uncertain about the unfolding situation. Speculations arose that the imperial clan’s ancestor might decide with far-reaching consequences for the foreign realm.

In the Floating Realm, within the city of no return

“Is this the power to integrate the two worlds?” questioned the old city lord, eyes shut tight as he murmured. Despite his closed eyes, he keenly perceived the events, given that the Floating Realm existed within the Immortal Realm.

Everything occurring in the Immortal Domain was reflected and manifested in this place.

The inhabitants of the Floating Realm could feel the impact, as this significant event blessed both the heavens and ordinary people. The manifestation of heavenly Dao-building expert and bestowed merit brought immeasurable benefits.

“The Immortal Domain has become a more conducive environment for cultivation. For ordinary creatures, this is indeed a blessing and a supreme achievement,” remarked Qing Feng, his expression complex.

Despite harboring a dislike for the world-destroying demon due to his experiences in the city of no return, witnessing the current scene left Qing Feng’s emotions in turmoil.

“No matter what, I can’t change the fact that he is my sworn enemy. I believed he was buried in that era, but since he reappeared in this era, I will make him pay for what he did before,” declared Cen Shuang with intense hatred evident in her eyes.

Her father, the Ancient Immortal Star-Lord and one of the four most powerful Star Lords of the Immortal Palace had perished at the hands of this devil, and she was determined to avenge this deep-seated enmity.

Upon hearing Cen Shuang’s determined words, Qing Feng sighed, understanding the weight of her vengeance. He recognized the slim chances of her achieving Revenge with her current strength. Cen Shuang apologized, acknowledging the difficulty of her path. She turned away with a blood-stained spear, her resolute departure echoing the spirit of moving forward.

Cen Shuang had overheard the conversation between the old city lord and Qing Feng but had spent her entire life focused on Revenge and cultivation, leaving no room for personal matters. Her relationship with Qing Feng was that of an elder brother, devoid of romantic sentiments. Her words were meant to spare him the disappointment of a direct refusal.

Not intending to linger, Cen Shuang departed towards the land of Biyou, ready to continue her mission of suppressing and eliminating demons. Qing Feng, watching her as leaving.

Revenge? I may not be able to help you.

The old city lord, lying on the bed, sighed at Cen Shuang’s resolute demeanor. He then emphasized another crucial matter to Qing Feng.

It seems time waits for no one, Qing Feng. Next, you must find a way to locate the other seven wonderlands. Many supreme powerhouses, along with their descendants, hid within them. Some were once members of the Immortal Palace.

If you can locate the Nine Heavens, perhaps you can change something.

While the Nine Heavens was a place of mythical legends. It was, in reality, a relic predating the opening of the sky. Some families had origins older than the age of innate mythology, possibly from places beyond the territory, born before the sky opened.
