Chapter 1112: Back to the beginning of the dramatic change of heaven and earth, reshape the myth
For cultivators, the concept of the river of time is undoubtedly the most mysterious and enigmatic existence in this world. It spans through the ages, flowing through every corner of the heavens, and even the most profound laws pale in comparison before it, unable to match its brilliance.
Even in the realm of immortality, one cannot fully comprehend the intricacies of the river of time. True immortals can’t cross the river of time although the Immortal King can only glimpse its mysteries after condensing their immortal wisdom. However, they dare not easily interfere with the river of time, for it brings tremendous backlash and unfathomable consequences.
In ancient times, there were immortal kings who attempted to traverse the river of time in hopes of resurrecting loved ones. Yet, this triggered a great terror in the world, leaving them with incurable Dao injuries, wounds that spanned countless eons, and eventually led to their demise.
For someone like Gu Changge, who is not even in the realm of immortality, to venture into the river of time with the intention of altering the past and affecting the present is an incredibly audacious endeavor. Fortunately, the laws in this particular universe are quite incomplete, and the will of the heavens is not fully formed. Additionally, the branch of the river of time Gu Changge traverses is relatively minor. With the aid of the Providence fateful immortal boat, he dares to attempt this risky journey. Otherwise, he would not be willing to take such a tremendous risk.
“If only I could completely a.s.similate that drop of Demon Lord’s true blood, I could easily traverse the river of time. Unfortunately, the path of immortality is a terrible barrier…”
Gu Changge was enveloped in a greenish glow, standing within the fateful Immortal boat. On both sides, turbulent waves surge, and numerous fragments of time fly by, reflecting countless scenes from the past history of this universe.
As he journeys from the present to the past, chaotic true lightning strikes from above, and the vast and ancient aura ripples through the air, accompanied by the storms of the great Dao.
Just a wisp of this aura is enough to turn Dao Building experts on the path to immortality into ashes, completely annihilating them. Even immortal experts dare not touch it.
This indicates the great terror that exists in this place, where things can easily vanish into thin air.
Fortunately, the fateful Immortal boat was truly mystical, surrounded by a faint radiance and an inexplicable aura, countering the various terrifying forces within the river of time.
Gu Changge had been closely observing the many scenes within the river of time, witnessing numerous events, including the birth of the cultivators in this universe, the establishment of royal family and sects, the pa.s.sing down of legacies, the depletion of life force, and the eventual demise.
Of course, there were also powerhouses who attempted to find a way to defy fate and break through the immortal door to achieve the realm of Xiandao. Unfortunately, the laws of this world are more incomplete than those of the upper realms and cannot support them in reaching that level.
“The collapse of the era, the erosion of rules, this is even more arduous and brutal than the environment during the decline of Dharma…”
“After the Darkfault, there was not even a trace of the world’s spiritual energy. The number of cultivators plummeted, and life essence waned. Even the strongest among them saw their lifespans sharply decrease from a million years to just ten thousand years.”
Gu Changge witnessed all these changes firsthand. He even saw some of the powerhouses attempting to access the messages left by the Reincarnated Heaven Lord, trying to open that door. Unfortunately, without exception, they were all devoured by the monster behind the door, their immortal wisdom consumed.
In a universe with relatively complete rules, these powerhouses would have had a chance to progress further. They carried not only the destiny and Dao fruits of this universe but also the imprints of the current world.
Gu Changge, lost in thought, had been considering how to leave behind the secret of the EpochTree.
Boom!
Ahead, a ma.s.sive wave surged, and a s.p.a.ce-time monument emerged, standing in the river of time, ancient and majestic, exuding a desolate atmosphere.
“It seems like it’s here,” Gu Changge confirmed this point and prepared to stop entering this era.
In the next moment, the fateful Immortal boat emitted a brilliant light, transforming him into a streak of light as he rushed out of the river of time. The raging waves on both sides and the chaotic lightning tried to strike him down into the river, but they all failed.
The bronze flag on the Fateful Immortal Boat unfurled, albeit with some bloodstains. It separated Gu Changge from the surrounding waves.
The thunderous sound echoed through the skies. Each burst of chaotic true lightning was terrifying, ma.s.sive as stars, splitting the dark river of time. If they struck an immortal being, it would have dealt a devastating blow, possibly even causing them to perish.
Gu Changge remained calm, retracted the Fateful Immortal Boat, and left the river of time. He advanced towards this era.
The vast and ancient aura of time surged towards him, carrying a sense of rebirth after death. After the Forbidden Era, the entire universe had entered a dark fault.
The era Gu Changge was heading to was right after the end of the Dark fault when the world suddenly began anew.
Boom!
This was a vast and boundless world, ancient trees towering, emerald lakes shimmering, scattered across the vast gra.s.slands, filled with a fresh and ethereal atmosphere.
Majestic ancient peaks and immortal mountains extended, shrouded in mist, exuding an immortal aura.
Many fierce beasts roared in the wilderness, emitting earth-shattering howls. Terrifying shadows darkened the sky, their outstretched wings resembling a canopy of clouds.
Gu Changge appeared in this place, stepping onto the continent. He was no longer a mere projection but a tangible presence.
A terrible beast ahead noticed him and didn’t ignore his presence but rather sensed a terrifying danger and fled in fear.
“It seems that I have truly arrived in this world. The suppression from the heavens and earth is quite profound here. I can only exert a bit of my true power.”
“If I were to unleash my full strength, it might cause significant disturbances in this era and even affect my return to the present.”
Gu Changge closed his eyes slightly, adapting to the natural environment of this era. At this moment, unlike before, the suppression of the world’s environment had not completely dissipated. Even for immortal existence, there was still a significant deterrent effect.
After the Forbidden Era, the Immortal Dao had shattered, but remnants of its aura still lingered in the world. Moreover, the dark fault had just ended, and the world had not yet undergone significant changes. In this respect, the current natural environment was even more suitable for cultivation than the present.
Soon, Gu Changge adapted to the natural environment of this era, opened his eyes, and became like a blank slate, devoid of any aura.
Boom!
However, he was still affected by karma, and his appearance became blurry, as if obscured by mist, making it impossible to see his true face.
Gu Changge didn’t mind this. He had already planned how to leave his mark in this era.
“Firstly, I need to modify the secrets of becoming an immortal, creating a fabricated past that influences the present…”
“The maturation of the Epoch Tree is crucial for the appearance of the path to immortality. In that case, I’ll leave behind a rumor to reshape the myth about an unspeakable supreme existence who descended from a mysterious ancient tree in this world. This existence established a forbidden area named the ‘Divine Ruins’…”
“It is said that this place connects to the immortal domain and holds the legendary Southern Heaven Gate, Heavenly Palace, and the Heavenly River…”
