Chapter 758: Gu Changge’s plan, the fishing net has already been laid
In their relentless quest to find the Epoch Tree, countless forces in the Upper Realm initiated the Great War of the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, a conflict that endured for untold years. Even when they eventually breached the Eight Desolation and Ten Regions, entering Heavenly Lu City, their efforts were unsuccessful as they found no trace of the Epoch Tree.
To many ancient powers, the Epoch Tree was akin to the most fundamental element in the upper realm. Before the Forbidden Era, the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions were known as the Sin Realm – a lonely place to incarcerate those who had committed the heinous crimes.
As the world underwent profound changes, the upper realm collapsed, the great Dao vanished, and the world’s laws shattered. In this chaotic aftermath, many powerfulhouses from the Sin Realm seized the opportunity to plunder resources in the upper realm, and among them Epoch Tree was taken away. They sought to cultivate the Epoch Tree’s Dao Fruit to gain complete control over the upper realm.
Sadly, the removal of the Epoch Tree caused the already weakened laws of heaven and earth in the upper realm to cease functioning, resulting in the collapse of the immortal Dao path for future generations. All living beings lost hope despite spending countless years pursuing Dao-building expertise. They never thinked about stepping into higher immortal realms.
Remnant immortals may have appeared more potent than the Dao-building experts, but that was only because they had once glimpsed those higher realms before the Forbidden Era. Nevertheless, the drastic environmental changes caused by the Epoch Tree’s theft forced many remnant immortals to stop their practices, leaving them to watch the unattainable portal just before their eyes.
The Epoch Tree had re-emerged, filling the universe with its vast and majestic aura. Every branch and leaf seemed to capture the brilliance of thousands of stars, interwoven with the immense chaotic energy that caused stars to fall, leaving everyone in awe.
“Could it be that a powerful entity has been born?”
“Or is it that someone is about to reach Dao-building experts level?”
The powerhouses in this universe felt the awe-inspiring and terrifying aura. They emerged from ancient planets, taking to the starry sky and gazing toward the Divine Ruins.
“It appears… to be the legendary Divine Ruins.”
The eyes of those hidden in forbidden areas sensed the world-shattering power, akin to a sky-splitting sword, sharp and terrifying. The universe underwent immense upheaval, and these fluctuations resembled the emergence of quasi-emperors or the culmination of a Dao-building expert, something that hadn’t happened for hundreds of thousands of years.
These overwhelming fluctuations swept through countless star systems, causing the entire universe to quiver. The universe’s inhabitants felt these changes and rushed to witness the unprecedented event.
“Incredible! It’s the Epoch Tree’s Dao Fruit…”
Gu Changge ignored the world’s turmoil within the Divine Ruins. He focused on a fist-sized, magnificent fruit growing atop the Epoch Tree, filled with countless Dao rhymes as if it contained the universe’s deepest mysteries and profound meanings.
This Dao Fruit radiated a potent and mystical energy, harmonizing with the world. Gu Changge sensed that the environment was slowly improving, distinct from its previous incomplete state.
The Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree, nourished by countless years and eras, utilized its accumulated Dao Rhyme Divine Mechanism to fill the gaps in the world’s laws. While the world remained imperfect, it was still in the process of conception, and the laws tailored to fill these gaps could only be described as divine powers.
“When the Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree matures, the Immortal Gate will appear.”
Gu Changge furrowed his brow and considered reaching out to Tao Yao for assistance guarding the Epoch Tree while he focused on refining the universe. He planned to transform the Divine Kingdom into a Palm and the Origin of Absolute Heavenly Extinction, obtained earlier, to his advantage.
After breaking through Hell, Gu Changge had never utilized the Divine Kingdom in a Palm, which he obtained from the Lord of Hell’s heir. His intention had always been to refine the entire universe using it.
This way, his universe would become his Divine kingdom, suppressing even Dao-building experts and remnant immortals who dared to enter. Moreover, Gu Changge planned to arrange the Origin of Absolute Heavenly Extinction around the universe, enabling him to eradicate all life whenever he chose.
The Epoch Tree served as the bait, and the universe was his trap. Gu Changge was plotting to confront the forces of the entire upper realm. With the Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree in his possession, he essentially controlled the Immortal Gate.
Without his consent, no one could access the Immortal Gate.
“Do these mere ants dare to spy?”
Yet, Gu Changge’s eyes turned icy the next moment as his commanding voice reverberated, shaking the entire universe. He sensed a quasi-emperor approaching the Divine Ruins, accompanied by the activation of Dao-building expert’s artifact, attempting to breach the Divine Ruins.
Many other cultivators at various levels also approached, and even the inhabitants of the ancient planet surged toward the Divine Ruins. Although the Epoch Tree had emerged moments ago, the restrictive barriers surrounding the Divine Ruins couldn’t entirely conceal the immense aura.
Boom!!!
A massive black hand suddenly emerged from the Divine Ruins, enveloped by hundreds of millions of crimson rules. The world dimmed abruptly, stars quivered, and the universe seemed on the brink of collapse and detonation.
Puff
“What manner of terrifying entity is this? How was I unaware of its existence before?”
The quasi-emperor cultivator who had rushed toward the Divine Ruins was now aghast. Before he could react, his Dao artifact disintegrated with a resounding crack, shattering like fragile paper. The shards rained down like brilliant meteors, reducing him to a bloody mist that dispersed into the air, body and spirit annihilated.
“How is this possible?”
“Slain with a single palm strike, along with his Dao artifact…”
Many powerful cultivators who had witnessed this scene turned pale, trembling where they stood. The other quasi-emperors, who had been heading to investigate, were stunned; their entire ancient planet plunged into silence.
Not a sound could be heard in the forbidden areas – all was eerily quiet.
Over the following days, Gu Changge remained in the Divine Ruins, setting up barriers around the Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree and infusing it with the runes from the Origin Artifact. He ensured no one could refine or take the Epoch Tree’s Dao Fruit. His apprehension toward the peach demon prompted him to set up these precautions.
