Chapter 1161: I said it, establish an eternal, immortal divine kingdom
In the past Upper Realms, each dominant force ruled over its respective starfield, treating ordinary cultivators and beings as mere ants according to their own rules and laws.
Some Supreme beings, facing the depletion of their life force, would even venture to ancient life-bearing stars, devouring countless lives to delay their aging.
However, with the establishment of the Dark Heaven, new rules and order emerged, no longer allowing the previous dominant forces to treat ordinary cultivators as insignificant. Ordinary cultivators also enjoyed the protection of the Dark Heaven’s rules.
Supreme beings who initiated rebellions, the so-called dark chaos, dared not be as arrogant as before, showing a lack of restraint and considering ordinary cultivators as mere fodder.
For ordinary cultivators, this was actually a good thing. After the upheaval, the environment became more stable and peaceful, benefiting them.
The supreme forces, the immortal powers, faced the most significant constraints. They were no longer as accessible and unrestrained as before.
The birth of an existence in the immortal realm had established new rules that even they had to abide by—this was an undeniable fact.
Gu Changge had mentioned to those around him a long time ago that new rules would be established. This was crucial for developing the Dark Heaven and its followers.
The power of belief was highly unique, originating from the sincere devotion of the heart. Even at Gu Changge’s current level, he couldn’t clearly explain what this power of belief indeed was.
Countless cultivators and beings across heaven and earth could generate the power of faith, which wasn’t affected by the strength of their cultivation.
Therefore, Gu Changge took great care to consider the ordinary cultivators and beings. After all, among heaven and earth, the most numerous were these ordinary cultivators.
The art of winning hearts was something he was highly proficient in.
The night in Peach Village was exceptionally peaceful. The starry night resembled flowing water, emitting a soft glow that shrouded the vast wilderness with indescribable tranquility and peace.
The distant ferocious beasts became quiet, and no roars echoed in the night. Due to Gu Changge’s presence, the villagers of Peach Village had prepared plenty of fine wine and wild beast meat. They set up bonfires, and many beautiful women danced and sang, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Gu Xian’er and Gu Changge were close to each other. She sat with her legs crossed, her small face resting on her knees. In her captivating eyes, the flickering light of the bonfire reflected as she seemed to be lost in watching everything around her.
Her strands of green hair danced in the night breeze, some drifting onto Gu Changge.
“Was it because the Immortal Realm is about to border the Upper Realms, so you’re leaving too?”
Gu Xian’er’s words suddenly echoed out of the blue, catching Gu Changge off guard as he was busy roasting meat for Yaoyao.
He couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “If the Immortal Realm and the Upper Realms were bordering each other, isn’t that a good thing? For many cultivators, the opportunity to ascend to immortality is one step closer. In a few hundred years, the Upper Realms can recover their former prosperity, and the boundaries between immortals and mortals will no longer be so distinct.”
I will go to the Immortal Realm, but it’s still far off for now.
Does that mean that the beings in the Immortal Realm can now influence the Upper Realms?
“I heard that after the Forbidden Era, the Immortal Realm and the Upper Realms became separated. Many immortal beings, even those surpa.s.sing the realm of immortality, migrated to the Immortal Realm, spending countless years cultivating. Their cultivation depths have long become immeasurable.”
Gu Xian’er lowered her gaze, looking somewhat desolate, thinking about many things.
Do you think that when the Immortal Realm truly borders the Upper Realms, can you still contend with those people now?
She hadn’t inquired about Gu Changge’s true ident.i.ty, but from his various arrangements and actions, she guessed that Gu Changge’s intentions were not as simple as becoming immortal. He had many plans, including more far-reaching ones.
However, it couldn’t be denied that Gu Changge’s actions involving the heaven and earth would soon be revealed.
What would those beings who truly entered the Immortal Realm after it bordered the Upper Realms think of this matter? There might be some of Gu Changge’s old enemies among them. After all, he had reincarnated into this era since the Forbidden Era. What was the reason behind this reincarnation?
This couldn’t be without reason.
So, this has been on your mind?
Gu Changge understood her concerns and worries over the past few days, unable to help but laugh. But he didn’t say much.
In fact, he wasn’t worried about these things at all. Even if the Immortal Realm bordered the Upper Realms, those immortal beings wishing to set foot in the Upper Realms would have to pay a considerable price. It wasn’t possible for them to indeed descend.
Moreover, Gu Changge had been refining and absorbing that drop of Demon Lord’s true blood for decades. He was also waiting for the appearance of the true Immortal Dao-building expert, refining his physical body through the light of the Immortal Dao, truly condensing his immortal body, and then refining and absorbing the Dao Fruits left by the Reincarnated Heaven Lord.
These things were prepared by the Reincarnated Heaven Lord for the final step of refining the Immortal King Dao Fruit, serving as a bridal gown for Gu Changge.
Even if they are the Kings or Ancestors of the Immortal Realm, it doesn’t matter. They can’t affect me in any way.
“In today’s Upper Realm, what I say counts,” remarked Gu Changge, his myriad skills making him curious about the current state of the Immortal Domain.
After all, the true remnants of the Immortal Palace were within the Immortal Domain, and the devastation the Immortal Domain endured from the beginning of the collapse of heaven and earth was undoubtedly more significant than that in the Upper Realm.
But, I always have an ominous premonition…
“It will be problematic,” Gu Xian’er said, lifting her eyes earnestly to look at Gu Changge. “What if someone had been waiting for you in the Immortal Domain?”
“Waiting for me? Are you suggesting that there might be enemies waiting for me continuously?”
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow, feeling that Gu Xian’er’s words were not a pa.s.sing whim but a genuine intuition. However, he couldn’t find any traces of these enemies in his memory.
Could someone in this world be waiting for him, knowing he would return from the Upper Realm sooner or later?
Gu Xian’er’s words made Gu Changge ponder for a moment, considering her innate sensitivity to the turning of the heavenly wheel. He decided to be more cautious to avoid unforeseen circ.u.mstances in the future.
After avoiding this topic, Gu Xian’er’s mood significantly improved, shedding the previous heaviness. She returned to her lively and arrogant self, even competing with Yaoyao for the grilled meat that Gu Changge prepared.
However, on the other hand, she complained that the taste wasn’t as delicious as before, criticizing Gu Changge for forgetting his previous barbecue skills.
This prompted Gu Changge to want to knock her on the head; no one in this world had such good treatment, and here she was, unsatisfied even when he grilled meat for her.
After spending some time in Peach Village, Gu Changge also noticed that Tao Yao had recovered considerable strength. It wasn’t precisely recovery, but due to environmental changes, she could now unleash even more profound power than before.
In Gu Changge’s eyes, this was her true Immortal-level strength, with her divine soul and physical body reaching immortality.
In the following years, in the Upper Realm’s central area, the Dark Heaven’s complete appearance, with its majestic and grand ancient palace structures, emerged for the first time.
The four great Immortal gates—South Immortal Gate, North Immortal Gate, West Immortal Gate, and East Immortal Gate—fell with a resounding roar.
They appeared ancient and timeless, surrounded by immortal mist, as if they could open up the heavens and the eight wilderness. Numerous chains of divine order intertwined around them, resembling an endless sea.
After that, the heavenly soldiers and generals who fought in various races and realms were reflected in the void, and their radiant light resembled the rising sun, illuminating heaven and earth.
On that day, these heaven and earth trembled in unison, and countless cultivators and beings heard the vast sounds of the world and sacrificial music spreading far and wide from that direction.
The Dark Heaven, self-proclaimed as the Immortal Immortal Divine Kingdom, conducted its first national ceremony. The boundless silver faith power converged from various realms, igniting an inextinguishable divine flame above the Dark Heaven, forging the national artifact.
