Chapter 1121: Another timeline, gradually touching the truth


After Gu Changge had made all the necessary arrangements, he returned to the upper realm, just as the clan was preparing for his wedding ceremony. He followed to greet the army and arrived at the Peerless Immortal Dynasty earlier than planned. The marriage between the Ancient Immortal Gu family and the Peerless Immortal Dynasty was closely tied to this event.


Many clan elders were taking this matter very seriously. They had invited numerous ancestors from the depths of the clan to ensure the success of this wedding.


In addition, even many background figures from the power of the remnant immortal, who had been born to the Gu family, were concerned about Gu Changge’s wedding. Tensions were running high in the upper realm, with various immortal forces regarding Gu Changge as a potential threat. No one could be certain if someone would disrupt the grand wedding.


Furthermore, the marriage of these two powerful clans had an impact on the hearts and minds of countless cultivators and creatures in the upper realm. It was like a fragile string, ready to snap if not handled with care.


For ordinary cultivators, Gu Changge had tirelessly fought against the scourge of Absolute Heavenly Extinction, confronting numerous forces, all in the name of seeking justice for the common people.


Naturally, they sincerely wished Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong happiness. The grievances between the various immortal forces in the upper realm had nothing to do with them. However, everyone understood that if the War of Immortality were to break out at this moment, it would likely sweep across the entire Upper Realm, sparing no one and turning countless mountains, rivers, and territories to dust.


“I’ve been waiting for this day for a long, long time,” Yue Mingkong said, leaning against Gu Changge’s arms in the depths of the Peerless Immortal Dynasty’s palace. Her voice was soft, and a trace of nostalgia appeared on her beautiful face. She had yearned for this day before she was reborn, but in her previous life, she never thought that she would be attacked and betrayed by Gu Changge.


However, in this life, Gu Changge had changed so much that she suspected her past life was merely a dream.


“I won’t make you wait any longer,” Gu Changge rea.s.sured her with a smile. He gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “I’m afraid this is all a dream, and that it will be in vain when I wake up.” He said in a romantic mood.


Yue Mingkong looked into his eyes with her crystal-clear gaze. She was filled with love but also a hint of uncertainty. The approaching wedding day was making her nervous.


In her previous life’s wedding with him, Gu Changge had been cold and distant, never showing any affection. The more the wedding approached, the more anxious she became. She couldn’t help but remember the time when Gu Changge had killed her in her previous life, just after their wedding.


In her daily life, she was the exalted Empress of the Peerless Immortal Dynasty, ruling over countless realms and capable of issuing orders that many cultivators and creatures could lose their lives. However, in front of Gu Changge, she was merely a loving wife, eager to share his burdens and soothe his worries.


Gu Changge knew her thoughts and sought to rea.s.sure her. “How could all this be a dream? Why speak of such things now?” He held her slender hand.


He understood that she was remembering her previous life when she was brutally killed after their wedding, a past she could not forget. All he could do was to rea.s.sure her.


Yue Mingkong nodded, feeling her tension ease as she nestled into his embrace. “Actually, Xian’er came to see me during this time…”


“Huh?” Gu Changge raised an eyebrow, knowing that if Yue Mingkong mentioned this, it must be significant.


“What did Xian’er want?” he inquired softly.


Yue Mingkong’s eyes focused on his face. “Xian’er asked me to keep a close watch on you. She’s worried that you won’t be able to control the darkness in your heart and might attack me on our wedding day. She mentioned that if I notice anything unusual in you, I should inform her, as she has a way to help you suppress the demonic nature within your demonic heart.”


In her previous life, his killing of her was merely a way to find a suitable excuse to clear himself of suspicion. Yue Mingkong had always been aware of this, that is why when she returned after her rebirth, she had been cautious with Gu Changge.


However, she soon noticed the many differences in his behavior and personality compared to their past life, especially in how he treated his loved ones, his beloved, and his followers. Last time, Gu Changge had come across as entirely self-serving and ruthless, caring only about his own interests, apart from anything else.


However, the current Gu Changge had an added touch of tenderness in his heart, and even that tiny bit was enough to satisfy her. After all, all she had ever wanted was a place in Gu Changge’s heart.


“Why would she suddenly say that to you? The last time she saw me, I felt like she might be hiding something from me.” Yue MingKong remarked.


Gu Changge’s brow furrowed slightly at her words, not because he thought that Gu Xian’er was being overly concerned. It was more about being worried that the girl might do something foolish.


The last time she was in the Peach Village, Gu Xian’er had almost dug out her own Dao immortal bones, attempting to help Gu Changge suppress the demonic nature of his heart.


“It seems like we should find the right moment to talk to her openly to prevent her from acting rashly,” Gu Changge said, shaking his head lightly.


Yue Mingkong agreed. “I believe Xian’er might have seen something, which is why she’s so worried.”


She had cultivated the art of reading the hearts of emperors and manipulating people in the Peerless Immortal Dynasty. Although she can’t directly discern people’s thoughts, she can deduce their psychological changes from subtle cues. When she talked to me about these matters, it was clear she was deeply concerned, as if she had foreknowledge of the events. This reminds me of when I was reborn.”


“Are you saying that Xian’er has come into contact with something related to the future?,” Gu Changge suddenly realized.


It made sense why Gu Xian’er had been hesitant when she met him the last time and seemed uninterested even after learning of his ident.i.ty as a bearer of demonic art. She probably knew that more terrifying events awaited her in the future.


“In that case, the future that Xian’er encountered might coincide with the timeline where I was reborn,” Gu Changge continued to ponder. “But why do I end up killing them in both of these timelines? Why do all these Children of Destiny, regardless of which timeline they are in, end up on the opposite side?”


Gu Changge’s brows furrowed deeper as he felt he was getting closer to some profound truth.


If the system was related to him, then these children of luck, no matter in the original timeline or in other timelines, would eventually stand on the opposite side of him.


Was this a coincidence? Or was everything preordained?
