I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 1153

Chapter 1153: This is definitely fishing; everything is just a dream

After many background figures rushed into the immortal gate, it began to heal, continuously closing as if this path to immortality was coming to an end, drawing its final curtain!

However, many watching this scene felt a chill running down their spines. What was inside the immortal gate? Why did those first background figures who entered emit desperate roars and screams?

People outside the Kun Ji Universe couldn’t see what was happening inside, completely unaware of what had transpired within the immortal gate to make the background figures so desperate.

The distance was simply too great. From their position, they had no knowledge of everything happening in the Kun Ji Universe.

Moreover, the surging and unparalleled aura was too terrifying. Even a Dao-building expert would explode into powder upon contact.

Who would dare to tread easily into that universe?

Could the immortal gate be a conspiracy? Clearly, the Lord of the Divine Ruin was obliterated by the joint efforts of all the background figures, torn apart both body and soul.

But why is the Kun Ji Universe still so dark, as if it has fallen into eternal silence, without the slightest change…

A trembling voice sounded, a representative of an Dao-building expert, one who, moments ago, remained unfazed even when the heavens were falling. Now, fear filled him, and he trembled uncontrollably.

Because he thought of a possibility – had all the background figures fallen into a trap? Perhaps that wasn’t a genuine immortal gate.

If the Lord of the Divine Ruins isn’t dead and his aura still exists, it’s unimaginable.

He is plotting against the entire upper realm…

Everyone became horrified and uneasy. However, those background figures who followed later had all entered, and no one remained outside the immortal gate.

Even if some now realized the possible deception, what could they do? Just a while ago, they were as excited as the other background figures, even thinking they would witness the grand ascension scene.

The vast Kun Ji Universe was once again enveloped in darkness.

A thick fog, seemingly from nowhere, spread and swept across, moving swiftly even towards the upper realm, covering everything.

This doesn’t feel right. Fortunately, I resisted the temptation just now… We cannot stay here for long…

However, what if there are other unforeseen changes? Let’s wait a bit longer.

At this moment, in another desolate and ruined universe, several terrifying figures shrouded in chaotic mist were watching the events unfolding in the Kun Ji Universe with a hint of lingering fear.

They were indeed background figures, but their caution was taken to the extreme. Even when the immortal gate was blasted open earlier, emitting the radiance of immortality, they refrained from going, suppressing their urges.

As the immortal gate closed, the radiance of flying immortals also dissipated, and even the previously present life-extending substance became sparse. This startled them, and they instantly realized that something was amiss.

Why would it be so inconsistent if this were a valid immortal path? The ascension aura that had dispersed earlier seemed like bait, luring them in.

After all the fish entered the net, they decisively took back the bait…

The Lord of the Divine Ruins is fishing, he’s definitely not dead. All of this is his doing.

These figures were horrified and filled with deep fear. Dozens of background figures quickly entered the immortal gate just now.

For countless years, they were the most powerful, background figures in the upper realm. If they were all extinguished here, it would shake the upper realm to its core, unleashing an unprecedented storm.

Amitabha, thanks for the reminder from the Golden Sun Goddess. It saved this old monk from a great calamity.

Chana Ancient Buddha and others, who had planned to leave just now, were sweating profusely in another distant universe. If not for the timely assistance from the Golden Sun Goddess, they would have also succumbed to the temptation.

Otherwise, they would have rushed in when the immortal gate closed, almost unable to resist joining the other background figures.

They were close to the Kun Ji Universe. They had remained here because of lingering attachments, unwilling to give up. However, the scenes unfolding made them shudder, and their entire beings turned cold, their souls seemingly freezing.

Is it all a deception?

One background figure became disoriented, their face turning gray instantly.

Undoubtedly, what could they do even if they knew the Epoch Tree was in the hands of the Lord of the Divine Ruins? Even if they wielded immortal artifacts, they would still be suppressed in this universe. How could they snatch the immortal opportunity from him?

This was clearly a meticulously designed death trap, waiting for them to walk into it willingly.

Perhaps the only stroke of luck was that they were fortunate enough to still be alive, not yet drawn into the trap, and there was still a chance to escape back to the upper realm.

If the Lord of the Divine Ruin is immortal at this moment…

We’re all done for. Such a ruthless figure won’t spare any of us.

If he ascends, I’m afraid the upper realm will completely fall, with no one to balance the situation.

The voice of the background figures who spoke earlier trembled, and an indescribable sense of fear again engulfed them.

The faces of the Golden Sun Goddess, Chana Ancient Buddha, and others turned somber, shrouded in gloom.

Maybe we’re overthinking it? Someone murmured.

However, no one agreed with this statement. The Kun Ji Universe remained eerily calm after the two batches of background figures entered, showing no signs of disturbance as if nothing had happened. This serene immortality was too dull, lacking any ripples, making it feel unreal.

Especially considering the earlier screams that were so shocking.

What exactly is inside that immortal gate?

Empress Huang Yu, still terrified by the scenes in the Divine Ruins, couldn’t help but ask Tao Yao.

After the immortal gate is his world.

Tao Yao calmly replied. She felt that the changes in the world were accelerating, and at this moment, Gu Changge should be on the verge of genuinely immortal, taking that decisive step.

Ah, ah, ah…

Desperate and unwilling cries echoed, but these sounds couldn’t reach the real world. As Tao Yao mentioned, outside the immortal gate was another world—Gu Changge’s internal universe.

He had emulated the Reincarnated Heaven Lord, using the immortal gate as bait while he waited within. He anticipated that after the background figures exhausted themselves in a struggle, they would enter his universe, becoming the nourishment for his immortality.

Gu Changge remained within his internal universe from beginning to end, observing the external scenes with an indifferent and unperturbed demeanor.

He started his move only when the first batch of background figures rushed in. The result was easily predictable; his will was the world in his internal universe.

Although he had refined the Kun Ji Universe, how could its affinity compare to the internal universe he had cultivated for countless years?

Who are you? Why go through all this trouble to scheme against us?

A background figure went mad. They never expected that after braving numerous hardships, entering the immortal gate, and traversing the world sea, they would encounter the Lord of the Divine Ruins in this place.

This immortality was nothing more than an illusory dream.

They roared, their eyes red, akin to trapped beasts on the brink of despair. Falling from heaven to hell, they realized everything was a hollow joy, an empty anticipation.

Gu Changge sat cross-legged, wearing an indifferent expression. He raised the Eight Desolation Demon Halberd, pointing it forward, creating the appearance of the most terrifying primordial beast emerging in countless years.

A horrifying aura surged forward, almost causing the real world outside his internal universe to shatter.

Beyond his domain, many small stars exploded, turning into powder, all destroyed by this fluctuation.

The background figures attempting to reach him burst and shattered one after another. Swept away by the Eight Desolation Demon Halberd, a mere breath of aura was enough to disintegrate their flesh and blood.
