I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 1812. What reason is there for personally stepping in when one carries the heart of caring for all beings under heaven?

A brief deathly silence fell over the Misty Peak.

All the senior figures of the Just Alliance froze completely, as if their bodies had been locked in place, not daring to move even slightly.

As for Deputy Alliance Master Zhao Tianqi, he took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down—but behind his back, the still-trembling hands fully revealed the turmoil in his heart.

The personal arrival of Gu Changge was something none of them had ever dared to imagine.

Not even the various True Realm civilizations had anticipated it; before this, they had all been speculating about which high-ranking figure of the Sky-Destroying Alliance would come.

It was imaginable that once this news spread, it would trigger an unimaginable storm across the Boundless Chaos.

As the leader of the Sky-Destroying Alliance, every move of Gu Changge drew the attention of countless beings and orthodox forces across the vast expanse.

Let alone his personal arrival at the founding ceremony of the Immortal Dao Alliance—even if he merely appeared anywhere within the Sky-Destroying Alliance, it would provoke endless speculation and imagination.

Because one of his thoughts, or even a single action, could cause consequences beyond prediction.

The fact that the Just Alliance and the Sky-Destroying Alliance had nearly erupted into a war affecting the entire Boundless Chaos—wasn’t it precisely due to a single command from the Alliance Master of the Sky-Destroying Alliance?

“Alliance Master’s personal arrival at Misty Peak is truly our honor.”

Misty Saint Ancestor walked over surrounded by many elders and ancient beings of the Misty Sacred Sect, his face carrying a friendly smile as he cupped his hands in greeting.

Although he was of ancient origin and possessed unfathomable strength, he did not dare act arrogantly in front of Gu Changge.

The Misty Saint Ancestor’s gaze swept over Luo Zhu and the Eternal Primordial God behind Gu Changge, and his heart trembled even more.

If Gu Changge standing before him was like a vague, unfathomable void that could not be probed, then the silver-robed man gave him a sense of deep dread—this was a powerhouse absolutely not weaker than him.

“There’s no need to speak of honor. The founding of the Immortal Dao Alliance concerns the survival of all beings in the Boundless Chaos. How could I not come?” Gu Changge said lightly with a faint smile, ignoring the people of the Just Alliance entirely, as if they were nothing but air.

His gaze only paused briefly on a certain figure among them, before he followed the Misty Saint Ancestor towards the depths of the main hall.

As for the other guests present, he did not even spare them a glance, as if they were not worth his attention at all. Yet his attitude did not provoke even the slightest dissatisfaction from anyone present. Instead, everyone felt this was perfectly natural.

After all, this was the Alliance Master of the Sky-Destroying Alliance—the true being standing at the peak of the Boundless Chaos. At least for now, no one could compare with him.

If he truly took notice of everyone here, they would instead be flattered beyond belief.

The senior members of the Just Alliance all had ugly expressions at this moment.

Yet when Gu Changge walked past them with the people of the Sky-Destroying Alliance, they could only lower their heads in humiliation, not even daring to breathe loudly.

None of them doubted that if they showed even a trace of dissatisfaction at this moment, the Alliance Master of the Sky-Destroying Alliance would not care about the occasion and would directly crush them to death.

Zhao Tianqi’s expression remained calm as he stood there, seemingly composed—but his body was tightly tensed. When Gu Changge’s gaze swept over him earlier, he felt as if all his secrets had been completely exposed.

A chilling thought even arose in his mind, if Gu Changge wanted to kill him, would it really only take a single thought?

He had originally believed that after surviving the eighth Heavenly Withering Tribulation, he was already qualified to overlook the Boundless Chaos—but the higher he stood, the more he realized his past ignorance. Truly powerful beings simply did not reveal themselves.

Existences like Gu Changge, who disregarded the Heavenly Dao, trampled rules, and acted without restraint—were the most terrifying of all.

“How is this possible…”

Behind Zhao Tianqi, Zhao Xiuyan’s delicate body trembled as well. Her originally indifferent eyes now surged with countless emotions.

Her whole body was trembling slightly, and a vast wave of emotion rose in her heart. Her red lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to call out the title that had always existed in her heart—but in the end, she forcefully held it back.

She knew that Gu Changge was him—the Alliance Master of the Sky-Destroying Alliance was also him.

Although she had only seen that gaze just now and had not even clearly seen his true face, how could she forget that warm gaze that accompanied her through her darkest and most despairing times…

“Master…” Zhao Xiuyan murmured in her heart.

At that moment, she also noticed the familiar silver-haired girl among the Sky-Destroying Alliance’s entourage.

A faint curve appeared on her lips. So that was why she had felt they would meet again sooner or later.

“It’s her?”

Mo Tong also noticed Zhao Xiuyan’s gaze. Her cold eyes moved slightly, and she nodded gently across the distance.

With Gu Changge’s arrival, the situation of the Immortal Dao Alliance founding ceremony became unpredictable. Those who had previously been casually discussing and speculating about the Sky-Destroying Alliance’s intentions all fell silent.

Between the mountains and pavilions, the surrounding noise gradually quieted, and the atmosphere became solemn.

Inside the vast and boundless main hall, ancient figures successively appeared and took their seats in different areas.

The various leaders who had already arrived were prepared to sign the Immortal Dao Alliance agreement.

Gu Changge took his seat in the observation area with the people of the Sky-Destroying Alliance. The Misty Saint Ancestor, who was originally not planning to appear personally, had no choice but to come forward to preside over the meeting due to Gu Changge’s presence.

The senior members of the Just Alliance remained silent; some had already transmitted the news of Gu Changge’s arrival back to their alliance.

The same was happening for other forces and civilizations.

Everyone felt that something major was about to happen today. At such a critical moment, Gu Changge had actually left the Sky-Destroying Alliance so easily.

Was he not afraid of the Dark Race taking advantage of the situation?

But no one dared to ask such a question. Even among the many Ancestor-level beings present, all were extremely cautious.

“Why are all of you so tense? I have never been one to slaughter the innocent. Why do you all look at me with such fear? Or is it that you are dissatisfied with my Sky-Destroying Alliance?”

“My Sky-Destroying Alliance has always taken it upon itself to uphold justice for the world and care for all beings. We have fought the Dark Race for countless years and saved countless civilizations from suffering. We are not like some hypocritical, fame-seeking forces such as the Just Alliance.”

“If you are not worried about the Just Alliance plotting in secret, yet remain so wary of us, isn’t that somewhat disheartening?”

Gu Changge’s faint laughter echoed out, and the already solemn atmosphere instantly fell into silence.

All the strongest beings from various civilizations did not dare meet his gaze. Whenever his eyes swept over them, they subconsciously lowered their heads.

Many cultivators and beings quickly lowered their heads as well, their hearts trembling.

The senior members of the Sky-Destroying Alliance all revealed subtle expressions—some mocking, some amused, especially when looking at the Just Alliance.

Only the people of the Just Alliance had faces as dark as water, yet none dared to retort.

Previously, many leaders from various forces had even approached them to greet them, but after Gu Changge’s arrival, everyone deliberately kept their distance. Even many elders of the Misty Sacred Sect behaved the same way. When speaking with the Just Alliance, they had to carefully consider every word, fearing misunderstanding.

“Alliance Master jokes. It is only that the atmosphere is solemn. All guests naturally show respect and reverence toward you; how could there be any disrespect?”

“Your concern for the overall situation and your heart for all beings is well known. How could it be tarnished by mere rumors…”

Misty Saint Ancestor, though appearing as a refined middle-aged man, felt his scalp tingle and could only force a bitter smile as he spoke cautiously.

According to external rumors, the Sky-Destroying Alliance Master was ruthless, unfathomable, and unpredictable—difficult to deal with.

Now he had truly experienced it.

What kind of alliance master personally steps in to suppress all civilizations like this?

Unlike the Just Alliance Master, the Undying Emperor, who never personally appears.

This completely shattered his usually detached demeanor—but if he did not appear, who knew what would become of this alliance ceremony?

“In that case, why are you all still hiding and refusing to show your true forms? Do you need me to personally invite you?”

Gu Changge smiled faintly and swept his gaze forward. The void trembled, followed by a muffled groan. A terrifying surge of power flashed through, and several blurry figures coughed blood and fell out.

Everyone present was horrified.

Several forces were even too frightened to go help their fallen ancestors.

“Please show mercy, Alliance Master…”

Misty Saint Ancestor’s scalp tingled as he spoke hurriedly.

Although he knew many guests were concealing their presence, he had not paid it much attention—some people simply preferred secrecy, especially in such a mixed gathering where enemies might be present.

But—

“I dislike those who hide their heads and tails.” Gu Changge said indifferently.

Misty Saint Ancestor froze, only able to force a bitter smile. Inside, he felt deeply stifled.

For someone of his status, who had ruled the Boundless Chaos for countless eras, he had never experienced such pressure—having to constantly smile and accommodate someone else.

The elders of the Misty Sacred Sect also suppressed their frustration and helplessness. This was clearly their territory, yet with Gu Changge’s arrival, everything had changed.

Soon, mist swirled in the hall, chaotic light spread, and cushions appeared one after another, each seated with ancient and weathered figures—core foundations of the Misty Sacred Domain.

“We greet Alliance Master.”

From various factions, hidden foundation-level figures also had to appear, stepping out from the void and taking their seats obediently. All were extremely ancient beings with terrifying cultivation.

Only now did many realize how many supreme beings were gathered on Misty Peak. They had all been hidden, likely waiting to observe and retreat if necessary.

Many secretly cursed—what should have been a simple alliance had become full of schemes. But Gu Changge’s arrival forced all of them into the open, sitting uneasily and sweating profusely.

Soon, disciples of the Misty Sacred Sect brought out delicacies and spiritual dishes to prepare for the ceremony.

Meanwhile, the outside world had already been shaken into a massive upheaval due to the news from Misty Sacred Domain.

Gu Changge’s arrival had completely exceeded everyone’s expectations. No one knew his intention—whether he truly intended to support the Immortal Dao Alliance against the Dark Race, or had other motives.

At the same time, some civilizations noticed that some of the armies previously stationed near the Sky-Destroying Alliance’s territories had quietly disappeared, their whereabouts unknown.

And on the side of the Undying Immortal Dynasty, a tremendous upheaval had also been unfolding in recent days.
