Chapter 1664. The one who controls the fate of Fengtian, you must bear the boundless consequences
A commotion erupted deep within the Immortal Palace, and all the guests present were stunned.
Eyes turned towards the far end of space-time, where the heavens seemed to crack open. Brilliant divine light swirled like flowing fire, enveloping the descending figures, as if ancient deities were descending upon the world.
It was a breathtaking sight, as if the very heavens were being torn apart, with flowing fire and rosy light illuminating half of the vast deep space.
Gu Changge, leading the members of the Destroy Heaven Alliance, descended calmly as though walking on level ground, completely unperturbed.
A terrifying aura swept through, accompanied by an oppressive pressure that made everyone’s hearts tighten. There was an indescribable sense of dread and trembling.
“He really has come.”
Saintess Xiyuan ignored the Longming Daoist who was attempting to speak with her. Her gaze shifted to the white-robed figure approaching them, her expression somewhat complex.
Last time, when she was trapped in the void of the Xianchu Haotu’s prison-like space, she had thought Gu Changge would come to rescue her.
After all, that would align with his usual style and interests. But he never came. After the fall of Xianchu Haotu, it was as though he had vanished from the world.
Saintess Xiyuan hadn’t heard any trace of him since. From the Wheel of Reincarnation, she had also calculated the future scenarios again, but found that no matter what choice she made, it seemed impossible to alter the final fate of the Xiyuan civilization.
Before the fall of Xianchu Haotu, she still held onto some hope, thinking that Gu Changge’s goal was simply to remove the forces and orthodoxies that obstructed his path.
But now, she could see that his true purpose was to make the entire Xiyuan civilization his possession.
“So, this is the leader of the Destroy Heaven Alliance? The rumors don’t do him justice; he is far deeper and more unfathomable than they say.”
Many ancient beings who had only recently emerged shifted their gazes, their thoughts racing through their minds.
The Destroy Heaven Alliance was the most feared and dreaded power in the Xiyuan civilization, and its leader, Gu Changge, instilled fear and dread in many forces and orthodoxies.
During the Xianchu Haotu period, Gu Changge, as the leader of the Destroy Heaven Alliance, had demonstrated terrifying strength that was hard to describe, overwhelming all other forces. He had even directly prevented the destruction of the Tian Shu Tribulation in Chu Guocheng, which had attracted the attention of the True Realm.
That was why, even as the Destroy Heaven Alliance rapidly expanded afterward, swallowing countless small and large factions and taking over vast territories, no one dared to stop them.
Gu Changge had disappeared from the Xiyuan civilization for a thousand years. Yet his overwhelming influence still hung over everyone, and no one dared to act recklessly.
“The leader of the Destroy Heaven Alliance, with him here, it seems his intentions are not good.”
The leaders of various orthodox factions all wore solemn expressions, no longer showing the casualness they had before. Their gazes were fixed tightly on the approaching Gu Changge and his group.
Among them were the likes of Zixiao Mountain’s leader, Zi Wanhe, and the former champion of Xianchu Haotu, Chu Heng. They were now all members of the Destroy Heaven Alliance, accompanying Gu Changge to this place.
Additionally, there were several terrifying figures with him, their auras so overwhelming that they made one’s heart race, and their presence even rivaled that of the most powerful beings in the Dao Realm.
Among them were Daoist beings who had survived three or four Tian Shu Tribulations. Such a force was enough to sweep away most of the orthodox factions in the Xiyuan civilization.
This display of power made the hearts of the onlookers heavy.
“Back when he was in Xianchu Haotu, the leader of the Destroy Heaven Alliance even attended a banquet with the people of the Immortal Palace. No one knows exactly what their relationship is.”
“If the ancestor of the Immortal Palace is making an appearance this time, that’s one thing. But if she stands with the leader of the Destroy Heaven Alliance, that would truly spell disaster for the entire Xiyuan civilization…”
Many of the onlookers felt a heavy weight on their hearts, worried about such a turn of events.
“Senior Brother Gu…”Following behind the members of the Jing clan, Jing Xiao was seeing Gu Changge again after a thousand years. Her eyes were filled with joy, but as she remembered something, the joy quickly faded into melancholy.
Jing Xiang, standing next to her, noticed her expression and couldn’t help but let out a faint sigh.
When Jing Xiao had brought Gu Changge back to the Jing clan, their parents and others could tell that she had feelings for him.
Unfortunately, their statuses were worlds apart. Even their parents, including the ancestors of the Jing clan, needed to show respect in Gu Changge’s presence.
Jing Xiao’s feelings, therefore, could only be buried deep within her heart, as time passed by.
At that moment, the most complex emotions regarding Gu Changge’s arrival were held by the many elders and disciples of the Immortal Palace.
After all, Gu Changge had spent some time in the Immortal Palace, and many believed he shared a close relationship with Ling Yuxian, with hopes of them becoming Dao partners.
Moreover, the Immortal Palace’s ancestor was able to break free from confinement thanks to Gu Changge’s help.
The many elders of the Immortal Palace still felt grateful to him. But now, with the Destroy Heaven Alliance growing more powerful, threatening to consume everything around it, the Immortal Palace and the Destroy Heaven Alliance were likely to come into opposition.
After weighing their options, anyone in this situation would find it difficult and tangled.
“Senior Brother Gu, it’s been a thousand years, I hope all is well with you.”
Deep within the Immortal Palace, streams of radiant light flowed in every direction, dazzling and brilliant, illuminating the heavens. A golden, sky-reaching path appeared, extending from under Ling Yuxian’s feet.
She, along with many of the elders, personally went to greet Gu Changge and the others from the Destroy Heaven Alliance.
“A thousand years, time passes quickly. You’re almost on the verge of condensing your Dao seed, about to break through to the Dao realm.”
Gu Changge smiled slightly, then nodded in greeting to the familiar elders of the Immortal Palace.
Ling Yuxian was ethereal and graceful, with skin as white as snow and a tall, slender figure, like a flawless celestial flower. Her flawless beauty shimmered with a subtle glow.
“Where did you spend these thousand years?”
She looked at Gu Changge, her expression growing more complicated. She had intended to catch up, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she suddenly realized that given the current situation, saying such things was too intimate and inappropriate, so she immediately stopped herself.
In another direction, the Jing clan’s ancestor, Jing Tianyuan, and the Demon Court’s Demon Emperor, Di Kun, arrived with their people and all bowed in respect, saying, “We greet the Alliance Leader.”
The leaders of various factions and orthodoxies in the area, seeing this, also knew it was inappropriate to stay in place. They all gathered their courage and came forward to greet Gu Changge. Even those ancient beings with astonishing seniority, who still bore the earthy aura of ancient times, were no exception.
Until they had completely fallen out, no one dared to offend Gu Changge. Even beings like Longming Daojun, who had survived eight Heavenly Decline Tribulations, had to weigh their words carefully.
“Old Daoist Wuya, greetings to the Alliance Leader.”
The old Daoist, who had been drinking and eating meat with the Crow Elder, now transformed into a beam of divine light and approached, bowing and smiling.
The Crow Elder followed him closely, doing his best to maintain composure, though his face showed excitement and a look of scrutiny, his eyes deeply filled with emotion.
“I am the Crow Elder, greetings to the Alliance Leader.”
He grinned, his cold aura spilling out, making the surrounding cultivators uneasy, instinctively distancing themselves.
“Have I seen both of you somewhere before?”
Gu Changge’s gaze swept over the old Daoist and the Crow Elder, and the smile at the corner of his mouth carried a deeper meaning. If he remembered correctly, before the fall of Xianchu Haotu, he had sensed that two individuals, from across distant space-time, were spying on everything happening within.The two individuals from earlier, now standing before Gu Changge, were the very ones he had noticed outside the Xianchu Haotu in the past. At that time, he had paid them no heed, knowing they came from beyond the Xiyuan civilization.
Looking at them now, their backgrounds seemed to align with his previous suspicions.
“The Alliance Leader truly has a sharp memory. Indeed, back outside the Xianchu Haotu, the two of us were observing for a while. We must have caught your attention back then,” the old Daoist, who called himself Wuya, laughed, unbothered by the situation. He spoke openly about spying on the Xianchu Haotu back in the past.
“This time, we’ve come to Xiyuan Civilization specifically for you, Alliance Leader. We have long heard of the Destroy Heaven Alliance’s fame in the vast wilderness and have been deeply admiring of you. We’ve come to join the Destroy Heaven Alliance, and we hope you will accept us,” the Crow Elder grinned widely, directly stating his intention to join the alliance.
Wuya also nodded and smiled. “Although we are used to the carefree life, we admire the Destroy Heaven Alliance’s ideals and purpose. We wish to work together with you, Alliance Leader, to discuss the grand plans of destroying the heavens.”
