I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 1128

Chapter  1128: The immortal corpse falls, how can master’s disciple miss a gift for master?

After Gu Xian’er, Jiang Chuchu, Yaoyao, and others had offered their toasts, they left one by one.

Some old acquaintances also came forward, including Princess Jiang Luoshen of the Supreme God Clan. Even the reincarnation of the High Priest of Destiny, Xiao Ruoyin, appeared in the grand hall. She toasted Gu Changge with a calm expression, showing no signs of anything unusual.

The relationship between Xiao Ruoyin and Gu Changge was rather complex due to the matter of the Fateful Immortal Boat, which brought her from a distant star field to this world. Over time, she gradually regained her memories as the High Priest of Destiny and even sought refuge with Gu Changge.

Xiao Ruoyin was aware of Gu Changge’s true identity, and after recovering her original memories, she noticed numerous threads of causality that seemed to entangle Gu Changge like a shroud. As a being with a void-like nature concerning fate, she had a remarkably clear perception of the nebulous concept of destiny and causality.

Many cultivators believed that delving into the secrets of fate would incur a perilous backlash of causality, putting their lives in danger. Even those with extraordinary cultivation feared suffering profound injuries to their Dao.

However, Xiao Ruoyin was unafraid of these causative forces, as she was detached from fate and causality itself. So, she occasionally dared to venture into danger, attempting to pierce through the veils of destiny and even glimpse into the future.

“Congratulations,” she said briefly during Gu Changge’s wedding, as if she had come just to offer her well-wishes.

“Good to see you again,” Gu Changge nodded. He noticed that in the short time they hadn’t met, Xiao Ruoyin’s cultivation had broken through to the Sacred Realm. However, this was only her visible strength, and her true capabilities might be even more terrifying.

Previously, Gu Changge had kept Xiao Ruoyin around, planning to harvest her Origin when it matured. However, Xiao Ruoyin had likely already guessed his intentions and was prepared for it.

Nevertheless, Gu Changge didn’t need her Origin anymore, given his possession of the Dao Fruits that had accumulated countless years from the Reincarnated Heaven Lord.

Upon meeting again, both had moved beyond their past and didn’t harbor any ulterior motives.

“The past is like smoke, so why care so much.”

Xiao Ruoyin obviously knew this too,showing a gentle and non-contentious nature. After offering her congratulations, she transformed into a wisp of a phantom and left the grand hall without lingering.

However, as she was about to depart, she seemed to remember something, hesitating for a moment. Gu Changge, though, did not look back, turning instead to toast other old acquaintances. He had expected to see Wang Zij, but he only encountered many prominent figures from the Wang Clan and didn’t see her.

This turn of events left Gu Changge somewhat surprised. Based on what he knew of Wang Ziji, she wouldn’t normally miss such an occasion.

“Her physique is a bit special, could it be that she is already no longer in the upper realm?”

Gu Changge could only speculate. Since their initial contact, he had sensed that there were many secrets hidden within her.

As for the Wang Clan, Gu Changge could see Wang Wushuang, the younger brother of Wang Ziji. Still, he didn’t have any plans to approach him with inquiries.

The wedding continued, and the grand hall was filled with joy and celebration. Fireworks lit up the sky, and various celestial music played, accompanied by graceful girls like Lingbo Fairy who danced through the air.

Auspicious birds like blue-green birds, phoenix birds, and immortal cranes soared, while auspicious beasts like spirit deer and unicorns frolicked. White clouds enveloped the scene, radiant with divine light. Rows of palaces seemed to hang in the high heavens, making it feel like an immortal realm.

The atmosphere was incredibly warm, filled with a sense of peace and harmony. People drank one glass after another, and many elders offered sincere blessings. The whole ceremony maintained a high level of enthusiasm throughout.

Then, outside the grand hall, a profusion of crimson glow appeared, and an expansive Milky Way materialized, shining brilliantly as if descending from the depths of the universe. It extended directly into the hall, where divine mists and colorful radiance interwoven, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

Many beautifully dressed young girls slowly approached, leading the bride, who looked like a Nine-Heavenly maiden from the heavens, descended to the mortal world. Nearly all the guests in the grand hall were stunned and filled with awe.

Gu Changge walked over with a smile and naturally held the bride’s soft hand.

“One bows to heaven and earth, two bows to parents, and the bow of the couple…”

A senior member of the Gu Clan, who held a high position, watched the two newcomers with a smiling face and shouted auspicious words, prompting them to perform the rituals of bowing to the two sets of parents on the dais, following the proper procedures.

Boom!

But just then, the world seemed to shake. An earth-shattering, soul-shivering sound rang out, causing many star fields to tremble, and countless stars were on the verge of falling.

Outside the Gu Clan, nearly half of the star fields were in turmoil. Radiant lights soared into the sky, shocking the universe. In that instant, all the cultivators were dumbfounded. Even the Dao-building experts put down their wine cups and frowned.

In the distant universe, a sudden burst of light tore through the heavens as if it would pierce through the nine heavens and ten earths, covering the eight desolate worlds, creating a terrifying and unparalleled presence.

The entire world seemed to undergo a drastic change, and there was a terrifying and chilling atmosphere emanating from that direction.

Boom!!

A deafening thud reverberated through the universe, and everyone heard the sound of something immensely heavy crashing from an unknown source, plummeting into this part of the universe and causing heaven and earth commotion.

The terrifying presence that seemed capable of collapsing the void continuously emanated from that direction, sending shivers down everyone’s spine as the entire star field dimmed and crumbled, unable to bear the pressure.

“Could it be… an immortal’s presence?”

“Could it be an immortal’s corpse falling?”

In the grand hall of the Gu Clan, nearly all the background figures were shocked and stood up, their expressions varying, and they couldn’t believe what they were witnessing.

Their gazes seemed to tear through the fabric of space and fixed on the source of the terrifying disturbance.

“There’s really something falling…”

Not only the Gu Clan but also other major forces felt this terrifying disturbance in the first instance. Their expressions were filled with shock and awe. The overwhelming suppression of the Dao rules of this universe came from that star field, and even from a distance, the sense of oppression was palpable.

Even the faintest traces of this overwhelming presence caused the hearts of all cultivators and mortals to tremble with fear, making them almost kneel involuntarily.

“Why is there a falling immortal’s corpse all of a sudden, and why here, so close to the Gu Clan?”

“Where did this immortal’s corpse come from?”

In the grand hall, all the guests looked in that direction with extreme astonishment, their faces filled with incomprehension.

After all, this place was where the leaders of almost all the major forces in the Upper Realm gathered, and each of them had the power and status to change the course of the Upper Realm.

In their eyes, this was a very unlikely coincidence.

“Changge…”

Yue Mingkong, with her red veil covering her head, suddenly grabbed Gu Changge’s hand, trembling with an emotion she couldn’t quite explain.

She had a premonition that this sudden falling immortal’s corpse was related to Gu Changge.

“Everything will be fine. What needs to happen will happen.”

Gu Changge reassured her in a soft voice. His expression was remarkably calm, his eyes deep and unwavering. He had known all along about this, but he didn’t know the exact circumstances.

Then, from the distant star field, accompanied by overwhelming Dao energy, came a voice that sent shivers down the spine with its chilling indifference. It sounded like immortal music but was bone-chillingly cold.

“For the master’s big wedding, how could this disciple come here without a big gift?”

“I wonder if this immortal corpse is enough?”
