Inside the palace, Gu Changge looked at his virtual interface as he fell into deep thought.

He already had ten thousand fatums now, which could be considered a huge amount. However, Gu Changge was in no hurry to break through to the next realm. He began to look through the System Shop and finally found a thing among the items list.
<Divine Concealment Rune.
Price 8000 fatums
Function: Can conceal all of your aura fluctuations for 30 minutes.>
Although it seemed like a very ordinary function, Gu Changge could not help but show a hint of satisfaction. Since it was a System product, he had no doubt whether the item really functioned as it said. Would he not be able to go anywhere if he could conceal all of his aura fluctuations while using his Void Talent? Gu Changge immediately exchanged fatum for a Divine Concealment Rune without any hesitation. After all, the ultimate fortuitous opportunity that he wanted to obtain was the Celestial Path that would even alarm a Supreme Realm Cultivator.
He also exchanged 1000 Fortuity for 10000 Fatum and used it to get a Restriction Breaking Rune and a Domain Breaking Rune. A Restriction Breaking Rune was capable of breaking and undoing a restriction, just as it was called, and the Domain Breaking Rune could be used to escape alive when you encounter a critical or dangerous situation. This was what they called multi-layered protection.
Afterwards, Gu Changge decided to fuse the seed fragments into a single World Seed and an indistinct scene appeared before his eyes. Three seed fragments of different odd shapes emerged in his sight. There were all kinds of complex lines engraved over the surface of the seeds, showing the heaven and earth in the primordial times, sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers and ancient seas, and the evolution of the absolute beginning of the world that was unbelievably vast and boundless.
*Buzz!*
A hazy light shown as the three seed fragments began fusing with each other and transformed into an overflowing glow of sunlight. Gu Changge sensed an aura that felt as boundless as the world that landed on his chest. While he was in a daze, he felt as if he had become the boundless chaos himself. Very soon, the chaos divided into the pure energy that drifted above and the impure energy that sunk down. As heaven and earth began their evolution, a mysterious and vast world was born inside his body! It was the birth of his internal world! There were sun, moon, and stars present inside the world. Earth, wind, water, and fire came into existence one by one, forming a natural cycle of life. Although it was still very small, it was a perfect prototype of the real world.
“Not only has the fusion of the Word Seed succeeded, it has also been successfully refined by me. This really doesn’t feel bad. Now, I can just throw things in here that I don’t want to show or keep on the outside. If I come across a formidable enemy, I can simply hide in this world, so long as they aren’t someone extremely proficient in the aspect of world creation.” Gu Changge said, hardly caring about consuming several thousand Fatum in the process. After his monologue, the place became silent for a moment.
*Buzz!* Ripples traveled across the void as he disappeared from the place to the next in an instant. He was nowhere to be seen and only some ripples in the space were left behind. If there was someone watching him at this moment, they would have been absolutely terrified and turned pale because of how inconceivable it was. Afterall, Gu Changge’s ability to completely disappear was simply too shocking. But, if it was someone who had an extremely deep understanding of world creation, they would still be able to discover some unusual ripples around the place.
Gu Changge had not really disappeared or anything. He had just opened a spatial passage in an instant and went into another world. On a mountain peak inside the world, Gu Changge appears once again and observes the scenery inside the world. The world only seemed to have an area of five hundred kilometers. There were mountains, rivers, primitive trees, and everything that one would expect to see in a world. There were also some ordinary living beings but there was no spiritual energy at all. But there was a part of the world very far away that was still in the state of chaos, that had not gone through the process of evolution.
Looking at the scene, he speculated about the situation of the world right now. The World Seed given to him by the System must be of the highest level. After all, the scene of evolution of the boundless and endless chaos was no different from the world in its primordial times. A state that he was very familiar with. So, one could say that the world he had now was actually just an initial prototype, and if he wanted it to evolve even further, he would need to expand it continuously. With the current state of the world, it could only serve as a place for him to stay for some time. He guessed that the world has the potential to constantly evolve until it reaches its ultimate state, and once that happens, he might be able to have a peak level internal universe that would contain everything in existence. Of course, his internal world could also be used in a lot of other ways, like projecting its image to suppress his enemy, making it appear in the real world if needed, and it could even devour the original world.
At this moment, many mythical scenes that he was familiar with in his previous life appeared in his mind. Chaos being born from the original essence of the universe; three thousand demonic gods appearing in the world as well as the arrival of Pangu; Great God Pangu splitting the world into heaven and earth; Hon Jun’s sermons and appearance of the Three Pure Ones；Nuwa creating humans and Suiren introducing the practice of drilling wood for fire… It was naturally not impossible to realize these scenes inside this world he had.
(Silavin: These are related to the Chinese mythos of world creation.)
Then, he thought a bit before asking, “System, would it consume Fatum if I want to evolve this internal world further?”
The System replied. <Fatum is capable of achieving anything. So long as you have enough, you can evolve everything in the world.>
Gu Changge nodded his head. Right after, he activated the main mode of world creation.
*Boom!*
Instantly, vast and majestic palaces rose behind him. They looked like the celestial palace’s pavilion, simple and unadorned but grand and so tall that they seemed to be of the same height as the sky. The way they stood majestically as if they could prop up the world appeared just like the court of the lord of heaven in the most ancient time. Gu Changge’s figure appeared inside the palace. At this time, he felt as if he was sharing the same position as the lord of heaven and had control over the entire world in existence. He nodded with satisfaction.
“It looks so awesome. I bet it’d feel great showing off this to others in the real world.” It did not cost much Fatum to build the Heavenly Court. Because the small world belonged to him in the first place, creating things inside it cost a lot less.
Afterwards, Gu Changge returned to the original world and began to mull over things inside the palace. He put the matter related to the internal world aside, as he should be focusing on the Celestial Path for now. He had already made various preparations related to it and all he was missing now was the opportunity to put his plans into action. It was just that he was not really clear when the Celestial Path was going to open. So, he thought of a person to get more information about it. It was his wife, no, his future wife – Yue Mingkong. As someone who was reliving her life, she must know of this matter. But it would take him some effort to get her to start talking. Moreover, if Gu Changge did not guess wrongly, Yue Mingkong was definitely on her way to the Boundless Heaven. After all, he was her biggest enemy in her previous life, and she would certainly not want to miss this fortuitous opportunity if she wanted to take her revenge at all cost.
Gu Changge did not feel guilty about attempting to steal the fortuitous opportunity of his future wife. Since she belonged to him, her fortuitous opportunity belonged to him too. Besides, how could stealing from your wife really be considered stealing?
Gu Changge was well aware that taking care of Yue Mingkong’s deep hatred for him was not something that could be done in a day or two. Thus, he might as well bully her till the point that she becomes used to it and loses all hope of going against him. Gu Changge not thinking about killing her could already be considered his greatest mercy for her. When all was said and done, although he was a bad guy, he was not evil to the point of being a lunatic.
For both Gu Xianer and Yue Mingkong, Gu Changge did not choose the mission of directly killing them. It was not because he could not do it but that it was too boring to do things that way. How would it be any different from the time he was under the influence of his demonic nature if he made that sort of choice?
“Yan Ji…” Gu Changge recovered his calm before long and called out to Yan Ji using a communication rune.
Yan Ji had also come to the Boundless Heaven along with him, but she usually stayed hidden and would not show herself easily. Therefore, very few people in the Boundless Heaven knew of the fact that he had a subordinate who was in the Sacred Lord Realm. Having such a person by one’s side was no small matter as even many elders of Skyward Schloss did not reach such a realm.
Very soon, ripples transmitted across the void as Yan Ji, who was dressed in red, walked out of nowhere and greeted with a polite look on her absolutely gorgeous face, “young master.”
After returning from the Land of Abandoned Celestials, she had always been recovering from her serious injury that she had received from the petal of the mysterious peach tree. If she had not reacted quickly and made her escape with the Domain Breaking Rune, she might have lost her life at that place.
Gu Changge glanced at her and asked with a slight nod, “How’s your injury?”
“Thank you for your concern, young master. My injury is almost healed after consuming the pill given to me by young master.” Yan Ji replied politely.
Gu Changge had been extremely good to her. He had continuously provided her with excellent recovery pills after she returned injured, and he also did not order her to do anything during this period so that she could recover to full health in peace. Even now, when he called her out, the first thing he asked was the state of her injury. He had been very understanding and considerate of her. Although it did not show much on her face, she was really moved in her heart. How many people were so caring about others?
“That’s good to hear. I have a matter that I want to entrust to you.” Gu Changge nodded as he said.
“Young master, please give your instructions.” Yan Ji responded at once.
“Help me find the whereabouts of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty’s fourth princess in the Boundless Heaven. But don’t reveal yourself, as it would be for the best if she doesn’t know you are there.” Gu Changge said.
Yue Mingkong would certainly come to the Boundless Heaven, but she would only do it quietly and then look for a place to remain hidden to avoid being discovered by him. She had been hiding from him after what happened in the Gu Family. He knew too well what was going on in her mind and had decided to drag her out of hiding. If she had come to the Boundless Heaven, she ought to come pay a visit to her husband. He was well aware what Yue Mingkong was scheming right now and was not going to make things easy for her.
“If she discovers you, just show yourself and tell her that if she doesn’t come to see me, I’ll go over to catch her myself.” Gu Changge added with a playful look on his face.
“Understood, young master.” Yan Ji left the place after listening to his order. She knew about the connection between the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty’s fourth princess and Gu Changge.
The fourth princess of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty was a woman famous for her talent. Now she had even become the crown princess and already had the attitude of an emperor. She was a tremendously beautiful woman. Even when engaged, she still had countless people pursuing her. Most importantly, she had heard rumors that the fourth princess adored Gu Changge greatly. However, he always had a cold attitude and treated her very indifferently.
But now it seemed that the fourth princess had been hiding from Young Master Gu. Yan Ji was a bit doubtful about this whole matter. [Considering young master’s nature, it should be impossible for things to turn out this way. Could it be that he really dislikes her? Well, regardless of the truth, it is pointless to wonder about such things. It is not something that I would be able to easily determine.]
