Chapter 1100: The rare and strange man in the world, did he notice something wrong?
The one-eyed Daoist from Heavenly Emperor Mountain appeared in the Divine City and inquired about the Reincarnated Heaven Lord from Gu Changge, and this matter was not deliberately concealed. Moreover, many cultivators and prodigies witnessed this scene. So, this news quickly spread throughout the Divine City.
The Young Master of the Wao Bao Business Alliance, as an unfortunate fellow, elicited both sighs of sympathy and schadenfreude from many people. It wasn’t a wise choice to provoke someone at will, and he had chosen Gu Xian’er of all people, who had a deep relation with Gu Changge.
Then, the price was his life, and in the end, the appearance of the one-eyed Daoist saved his guardian, the gray-robed old expert with quasi-emperor realm from Wao Bao Business Alliance.
Many people had already guessed the fate of the gray-robed old man at the time – he was likely slapped to death by Gu Changge. His survival was purely due to good luck and happenstance.
This incident stirred up discussions among cultivators everywhere. Of course, what everyone cared about most was the possible appearance of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord. This matter had been spoken by Gu Changge himself and was naturally deemed authentic.
“I’m really looking forward to it. If the Reincarnated Heaven Lord is willing to take action, then the catastrophe of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction will surely be easily resolved.”
“Perhaps the birth of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord is the beginning of an unfolded radiant world. So many prodigies and influential figures are gathering in the Divine City. It’s an age that has never been seen in thousands of years. I’m fortunate to witness this event in my lifetime. ”
“This grand event, it all started because of Young Master Changge… From ancient times to the present, there hasn’t been a young person who has achieved his level of accomplishment, has there?”
In restaurants, inns, markets, palaces, and temples, cultivators and creatures of all kinds were discussing this matter. Whenever Gu Changge’s name was mentioned, everyone wore expressions of admiration and reverence.
After the incident in the Absolute Heavenly Extinction, practically no one doubted the connection between Gu Changge and the inheritor of demonic art, and many of the previous rumors had been debunked.
The main reason for this change was the caution of various immortal sects toward the possible appearance of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord. If anyone tried to tarnish Gu Changge’s reputation like they did before, they would have to provide substantial evidence.
Gu Changge’s resolute att.i.tude also served as proof that anyone attempting to test him would pay a heavy price – w.a.n.g Shun was a good example.
Soon, time pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
The next day, in the central hall of the Divine City, prominent figures from various immortal sects and powers, including the Supreme G.o.d Clan, Demonic Mountain, the Endless Fire Kingdom, Buddha Mountain, and the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, all appeared in unison.
Jiang Luo Shen was bathed in a golden aura, standing beside an elderly woman with golden hair who held an unknown branch.
She no longer exuded the cold, arrogant n.o.bility she displayed in public but instead radiated a clever and obedient demeanor, giving off a completely different impression.
The elderly woman had a small stature, her face covered in wrinkles, and her eyes appeared cloudy. However, all the cultivators in the central hall, even the other prominent figures, dared not underestimate her. In her youth, the golden-haired lady had been known as the Golden Sun G.o.ddess, born from a pure-blooded Golden Crow transformation. She possessed terrifying innate talent, outshining all others. Countless prodigies and heroes had fallen at her feet.(Ed Note, Golden Crow is a legendary animal, in saying, it’s the personification of sun.)
In terms of strength, she surpa.s.sed any of her peers, but she never took any of them seriously. Even now, there were people from her generation who couldn’t forget her.
Although she appeared extremely elderly now, with her current cultivation, restoring her former peerless beauty was as simple as a thought. The branch she held in her hand was said to be a genuine branch of the Divine Mulberry Tree, with boundless uses and comparable to a primordial treasure.(Ed Note, primordial treasure/artifact is formed by nature, non intelligent creatures made, it has great power, almost the same with immortal weapons.)
On the other side of the central hall, Jin Chan also accompanied the Chana Ancient Buddha of Buddha Mountain, his hands clasped together, his expression serene, unaffected by the outside world.
The Chana Ancient Buddha still had the appearance of boundless compa.s.sion, with drooping white eyebrows. A faint Buddha light seemed to permeate around him, inspiring devoutness in anyone who gazed upon him.
Additionally, the Bull Demon King from the Demonic Mountain stood with many demonic beings on the other side. He was clad in ancient human clothing, his eyes gray-white, exuding boundless age. Two jet-black horns above his head were particularly prominent.
He, along with the many demons from the Demonic Mountain, stood silent, emanating an atmosphere of extreme coldness. What made him terrifying was the power of his life force, akin to an endless sea. Strands of chaotic energy flowed from his mouth and nose, back and forth, as if suppressing the very fabric of s.p.a.ce. Ordinary Dao-Building experts dared not stand too close to him.
As for the Daoist ‘One Eye’ from Heavenly Emperor Mountain, he maintained a distance from everyone, including Gu Changge. His expression was calm, akin to an enlightened old Daoist, his face gleaming like jade.
Representatives from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, Peerless Immortal Dynasty, Violet Sky Valley, and the Reincarnation Lake—all the prominent figures from various immortal sects and powers—had gathered in the central hall, waiting in silence.(Ed Note, Gu Xian’er once saw some images from a lake named Reincarnation, here, Reincarnation Lake is an immortal sect.)
Outside the hall, many prominent figures observed the situation, closely monitoring the events inside. The Reincarnated Heaven Lord, a legendary figure from the mythological era, was like a character from ancient history, a part of the long river of history. Now, he was finally about to appear before the world, stirring up excitement and antic.i.p.ation in everyone’s hearts.
“Everyone, I apologize for the wait,” a faint smile echoed from outside the hall.
In the midst of all the expectant gazes, Gu Changge finally appeared and entered the hall. He had a tall and upright figure, refined features, and wore a flowing black robe adorned with patterns of sun, moon, stars, mountains, and ancient seas. His smile was elegant, exuding an aura of n.o.bility and mystery.
At this moment, even the prominent figures couldn’t help but feel a slight tremor in their hearts as they sensed the aura that made them wary.
“Ancestor, this is the Gu Changge I mentioned to you,” Jiang Luoshen, with a smile in her bright eyes, leaned over and whispered softly to the blond old woman beside her.
While the prominent figures had heard about Gu Changge and his deeds, seeing him up close for the first time brought a different feeling. They couldn’t help but think that he truly lived up to the numerous rumors.
“He is indeed a rare and extraordinary young man. Even I can’t see through him,” the golden-haired lady, known as the Golden Sun G.o.ddess, replied with a gentle shake of her head.
Her eyes, much like Jiang Luoshen’s, emitted a golden glow when fixed upon Gu Changge, dispelling the previous cloudiness.
In terms of bloodline, she and Jiang Luoshen were quite similar. However, Jiang Luoshen hadn’t reached the level of ancestral regression like her. Jiang Luoshen still had a long way to go.(Ed Note, the more obvious ancestral regression means the closer to their ancestral bloodline, and they will get more power and talent.)
The entire Supreme G.o.d Clan had a deep connection with the ancient Golden Crow Race from their earliest days. The Supreme G.o.d will itself have evolved from the true essence of the sun.
“Greetings, Young Master Changge,” everyone in the central hall courteously greeted Gu Changge after realizing his presence.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Bull Demon King, with his green-tinged eyes, fixated on Gu Changge with a look of disbelief. His usually cold and indifferent demeanor crumbled, and he seemed to be struggling to comprehend something extraordinary.
Originally, his expression was utterly indifferent, even when he noticed all the influential figures in the vicinity; he couldn’t be bothered to engage with them. However, at this moment, he was trembling slightly, as if confronting a truly horrifying event that left him unable to regain his composure.
“Demon king, you…” All the monsters behind looked at him, and now they all sensed his unusual condition. Their expressions shifted subtly, and they couldn’t help but express concern as they inquired.
Even the prominent figures like the Chana Ancient Buddha, the Daois ‘One Eye, and the Golden Sun G.o.ddess and many other background figures also sensed the abnormality of the Heavenly Bull Demon King’s demeanor and turned their attention to him, their expressions varying.
Their powerful spiritual senses naturally allowed them to perceive the shock and turmoil in his heart at this moment. This piqued their curiosity and even left them somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that there was something extraordinary about Gu Changge that had caused this reaction in the Heavenly Bull Demon King? Or had the Heavenly Bull Demon King sensed something amiss?
However, in the next moment, these thoughts dissipated from their minds as they sensed that the Heavenly Bull Demon King was looking at another figure behind Gu Changge.
Behind Gu Changge, a Daoist of medium stature also entered the hall, stepping forward gracefully. He wore a feathered robe and a starry crown, his look carrying a kind and gentle smile. His face bore the marks of time, yet it was clear and serene, as if fragments of time were swirling around him, as if he did not belong to this world.
“Reincarnated Heaven Lord…”
At this moment, almost no introduction was needed. Everyone in the hall instantly recognized this figure as the legendary being from the age of mythology.The aura and presence emanating from him were unmistakable, and it was absolutely impossible for them to be fake.
