I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 1122: Prepare to be the enemy of the entire Upper Realm, a vast wedding reception

Gu Changge didn’t believe that these events were mere coincidences, much like the words spoken by Gu Qingyi before she left. Some matters couldn’t be openly discussed because speaking of them could suffer the so-called “karmic backlash.”

Just like in the Forbidden Era, many Immortal forces dared not discuss it openly, and the mere mention of it would cause visible discomfort.

That was because the Forbidden era had been abandoned by the heavens, and even now, there was still a lingering remnant aura that could not be erased. Talking about the Forbidden Era would attract unseen forces in the dark, resulting in divine retribution. Those with higher cultivation levels could sense this aura more keenly, leading them to avoid discussing it as much as possible.

When I break through to the Immortal Realm, I might gradually uncover these truths, Gu Changge mused.

He wasn’t overly troubled by these questions. He had a deep and intricate connection with Gu Qingyi, and his identity at the time was that of a Demon Lord. How could Gu Qingyi’s own identity be so straightforward.Of course, Gu Changge also remembered the bet that Gu Qingyi mentioned before her departure. I will remember sooner or later?What is this bet?

“Changge, what’s wrong? Are you thinking about something?”

Yue Mingkong’s gentle voice interrupted his thoughts. She reached out her flawless jade-like finger to gently smooth the crease on his forehead.

“It’s nothing, I just suddenly thought of some things that might happen in the future. The Upper Realms are likely to be in chaos soon,” Gu Changge said.

“Even though you and I have the power to protect ourselves, I’m still concerned that unexpected entities might emerge. Once the Dao Fruits of the Epoch tree appear, the struggle among the Immortal gate won’t be far off. I fear that the entire Upper Realm will turn into a battlefield…”

Gu Changge shook his head and refocused, he planned to inform Yue Mingkong about the matter of the Epoch Tree and prepare her for what’s to come. Otherwise, when it’s time to attack in the Upper Realm, they might drag the Peerless Immortal Dynasty into it, which would be a loss not worth the gain.

He also needed to let her know about the Immortal gate and make some plans.

“The Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree is about to mature…

“So, the last time we fought across the Eight Desolation and Ten Regions, you were the one who ended up with the Epoch Tree that all the sects and forces were searching for. No wonder the Eight Desolation and Ten Regions were scoured thoroughly, but there was still no hint of its whereabouts.

Once this news gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Yue Mingkong was also shaken by these revelations, realizing the importance of the matter. Once the news of the Epoch Tree became public, the entire Upper Realm would be in an uproar. No sect or force would be able to remain idle, especially those with a long history and cultivation levels that had reached their limits.

They will undoubtedly go to extreme lengths, at any cost, to seize the Epoch Tree and contend for the opportunity to become immortals. The Epoch Tree nurtures the Dao Fruits, which can perfect and mend the flawed Dao laws of the world, thus allowing the Immortal gate to become visible.

But how many Immortal beings could be supported by the newly repaired world’s Dao laws was still an unknown factor.

That’s why anyone aspiring to Immortality will go to any lengths to compete for the chance to enter the Immortal gate first.

“As for the matter of the Epoch Tree, I have long been prepared for it, so there’s no need to worry too much. It’s just that the entire situation in the Upper Realm will undergo a complete upheaval at that time, even leading to a major reshuffling,” Gu Changge said. “I will seize the opportunity to bring the Dark Heaven Court into the world and start a grand reckoning, ultimately unifying the Upper Realm.”

The Dark Heaven had always existed in the shadows, out of the view of all the sects and forces in the Upper Realm. However, the power they had amassed was immense. Just the number of Dao-building experts’ puppets exceeded that of the usual Immortal forces.

Among them was even A Er, who had reached the level of a remnant Immortal, as well as the Reincarnated Heaven Lord, turned into a puppet by Gu Changge. Not to mention the numerous believers and countless beings in the lower realms they were secretly involved with. Once all these forces gathered, it would be enough to send chills down one’s spine.

Of course, the wealth Gu Changge had accumulated over the years was astonishing. The accumulations from various tribes in the Ancient Immortal Continent, the fall of the Purple Mansion, the wealth of the Wan Bao Business Alliance, and the accumulations from conquering the Eight —all ofDesolation and Ten Regions — was beyond imagination. And all of this would become the foundation of the Dark Heaven.

“Changge, do you really plan to upheave the entire Upper Realm? If you do this, regardless of success or failure, you’ll have no way back and will be standing in opposition to the entire world.”

Hearing these words, Yue Mingkong asked calmly, her eyes devoid of anxiety or fear. The consequences of upheaving the entire Upper Realm were terrifying, and one could easily imagine what they would have to endure.

The Upper Realm was vast and boundless, giving birth to countless sects and powers over countless ages. How many powerhouses and background figures were there? Even some hidden and aristocratic families and clans would emerge because of this event. Facing all of them as adversaries, the thought alone was enough to send shivers down the spine of an ordinary Dao-building expert.

“From the very beginning, when I embarked on this Dao path, I had no choice,” Gu Changge smiled and said, his tone casual. “Moreover, I cannot fail.”

“No matter the outcome, I will always be by your side.”

Yue Mingkong gently held his hand, her voice soft but filled with unimaginable determination.

Roar, roar, roar…

At this moment, the heavens and the earth trembled, and a resounding dragon’s roar echoed from the depths of the starry field. A nine-headed quasi-Emperor level dragon raced forward, pulling a white jade carriage. Below its feet was a sea of red clouds, resembling a brilliant galaxy extending from a distant end and directly leading to the depths of the Peerless Immortal Dynast’s palace.

A massive army, like a surging river, rode various ancient fierce beasts, lining up on both sides with imposing force. Seven awe-inspiring Dao-building experts, their ethereal forms towering thousands of feet high, were shrouded in various colored auras, standing before the gates of the Peerless Immortal Dynasty’s palace as if waiting.

The entire world was covered in a tapestry of red, with golden lotus flowers in full bloom, clear springs flowing, auspicious scenes intertwining. Spirit deer cried out, immortal cranes danced, and many beautiful female singers sang and danced gracefully, enchanting and captivating.

yyyAfter crossing numerous star fields, the welcoming army of the Gu Family had finally arrived outside the capital of the peerless Immortal Dynasty. The massive and seemingly endless army, like a terrifying beast capable of devouring the universe, was responsible for escorting the bridal procession, exuding an awe-inspiring aura that intimidated all cultivators and beings along the way.

Among this army, one could sense a faint aura of immortality. Some of them held Immortal artifacts, their foundational figures powering them, and they had been awakened to serve as a deterrent.

Outside the Peerless Immortal Dynasty’s capital, many powerhouses were also waiting for the arrival of the Gu Family.

One of them was an old emperor uncle wearing dragon robes, with a face that exuded authority. He wore a purple and gold crown and radiated a terrifying aura that sent shivers down one’s spine.

His eyes slowly scanned the many guests around him, with a strong oppressiveness. Without a doubt, he was another background figure, and the deep wrinkles in his gaze betrayed the weight of the years. His cultivation far surpassed that of the average Dao-building expert.

By his side, there were numerous royal relatives and close kin, including the former emperor of the Peerless Immortal Dynasty and other princes, all of them with inscrutable levels of cultivation.

“Emperor Yue.”

Among the bridal procession of the Gu Family, a smiling old man stepped forward, and his aura also revealed his status as an Dao-building expert from his body.

Empress Yue was yue Mingkong’s father, the previous emperor of the Peerless Immortal Dynasty, and had a close relationship with Gu Changge’s father, Gu Lintian.

“She’s currently with Changge. She’ll be out soon,” Empress Yue greeted with a beaming smile, his face filled with hidden delight.

As they spoke, he looked around. Although Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong’s grand wedding had yet to be held, today was a ceremony to welcome Yue Mingkong back to the Gu Family.

However, the guests who rushed to this place held terrifying status and identities, almost gathering the pinnacle of the Upper Realm. They were either the head of the Immortal Sect, or the Daoist patriarch of the Gu Family, the Immortal cultivators of ancient Immortal clans, or even background figures lurking in the shadows, watching all of this unfold with a cold, detached gaze.

For countless years, the Upper Realm had not witnessed such a grand event, and no sect or force had been able to remain complacent. After today, the situation in the Upper Realm would undergo unimaginable upheaval.

The union of these two superpowers, with Gu Changge alone, was enough to make countless cultivators and forces in the Upper Realm wary. Once he gained control of the resources of the Peerless Immortal Dynasty, the future held unpredictable changes that no one dared to imagine.

“Once the two of them are married, with Gu Changge holding the Peerless Immortal Dynasty and with the support of the Gu Family behind him, he has amassed tremendous power over the years, and his own cultivation is unfathomable. If he decides to, just like the last time, to obliterate an entire Immortal Sect, he won’t even need to go through much trouble.”

“No one can rival him anymore unless the forces of all Immortal Sects unite to suppress him.”

In the shadows, many indistinct figures watched all of this, their faces dark and gloomy to the extreme. They had anticipated that a power would emerge, surpassing all Immortal sects and clans.

As for stopping this grand wedding? In the current Upper Realm, there was hardly any force that dared to do so, except if multiple Immortal forces collectively decided to take action. Otherwise, who could bear the wrath of the Peerless Immortal Dynasty and the Gu Family?

The capital was incredibly vast, with a vast expanse of territory. The ancient Divine Peak Mountain and the silver waterfall cascading down gave it a sacred and immortal aura, resembling a holy land of the immortals.

The entire capital was adorned with bright lights, joyful scenes everywhere. Immortal cranes soared, and the phantom of the qilin danced through the air. Spirit deer ran and leaped around, and golden lotus flowers bloomed in the void. Babbling springs gushed forth from the earth.

There were Dao-building experts presiding over the heavens, sitting there, expounding the essence of the Great Dao, and immortal flowers appeared, radiating brilliance. It was incredibly pure, filling the entire starry field with a peaceful atmosphere.

Almost all the cultivators who witnessed this welcoming ceremony were deeply shocked by such grandeur, an experience they would remember for the rest of their lives.

The red carpet spreading from deep within the palace was crafted by a Dao-building expert who had collected starlight and refined it. Many ancient stars were also transformed by supreme magical powers into steps, leading step by step to the white jade carriage.

There were so many things… not to mention the miles of red decoration.

Even female Dao-building experts couldn’t help but be envious, and it was unlikely that even the ancient celestial wedding ceremonies were as extravagant and breathtaking as this.

Not to mention the heavenly maidens from the heavens; their hearts were filled with the utmost envy, and they didn’t know what to say. A life with such a wedding would be complete and can die without any regret.

Within the capital, all the citizens and subjects stood orderly along the streets, while other cultivators could only watch from a great distance, their eyes filled with awe as they witnessed this spectacle that shook the entire Upper Realm.

Boom!!!

At this moment, deep within the capital, a sea of red clouds emerged, casting a radiant and translucent light over the heavens and the earth. Finally, the ruler of the entire Peerless Immortal Dynasty, the current Empress Yue Mingkong, appeared.

She wore a phoenix crown and a red veil, her hands folded in front of her abdomen, her figure tall and graceful, walking gracefully step by step. She exuded an aura of nobility and elegance. She looked like an empress from a myth, incredibly beautiful even if her features were not visible, surpassing the beauty of any creature in this world.

At this moment, almost everyone was deeply awed by this scene and remained in a daze for a long time.

Behind Empress Yue Mingkong, her long skirt was dragging on the floor, more than a hundred saintly maids of Sacred Realm in long gowns trailed behind her, and the maids leading the way on both sides had quasi-Emperor-level cultivations.

Gu Changge, dressed in a black wedding robe, smiled and looked handsome, leading Yue Mingkong as they walked from the depths of the palace toward the white jade carriage that awaited them. It was called a white jade carriage, but it was actually made from a special kind of Immortal jade, and its cost was terrifying. Even if a Dao-building expert spent their entire life’s resources, they couldn’t create such an extravagantly crafted Immortal jade carriage.

“What a pair of immortals.”

Many guests, although deeply wary of Gu Changge, couldn’t help but sincerely utter these words.

In the forefront of the capital, the people from the Peerless Immortal Dynasty and the Gu Family watched as Gu Changge led Yue Mingkong into the Immortal jade carriage, and they quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn’t that they were afraid of any interfering forces; they simply didn’t want any unpleasant incidents to occur during such an auspicious time that might lead to bloodshed.

Of course, they were also very confident, with many powerhouse figures guarding the area, and background figures secretly wielding Immortal artifacts to deter any troublemakers.

Even background figures themselves wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

Roar, roar, roar…

Soon, with the resounding dragon’s roar of the nine-headed quasi-Emperor-level dragon, it soared into the sky and began to speed away. The vast wedding procession followed the red carpet that had traversed many star realms, making its way back.

The entire cosmos was filled with an atmosphere of joy, every star shimmered with red light, and countless auspicious beasts paid their respects, creating a spectacle that was truly awe-inspiring.

Outside the capital of the Peerless Immortal Dynasty, countless cultivators and powerhouses watched this scene and remained in a daze for a long time.

Even some of the hidden Dao-building experts shook their heads slightly and let out a long sigh. No one dared to interfere at this moment, unless they wanted to die, as it would lead to an unending conflict.
