The Upper Realm was shaken as the massive armies returned from the distant Resplendence Universe and brought back news that sent shivers down everyone’s spines.
All Forces were deeply afraid. They felt as if disaster would befall them soon. Everyone in the Upper Realm was in danger. None would be spared from this.
The mastermind behind the scene had reached the Immortal Realm. Worse, he ruled over Dark Heaven. Now, the entire Upper Realm would live under his shadow.
Many of the hidden experts who fled back to the Upper Realm were trembling in fear. They tried to do everything in their power to get back to their Forces and prepare all the Forbidden Weapons they had. They lived in a constant state of intense worry.
That was because they knew that once the ruthless individual returned to the Upper Realm, he would undoubtedly initiate a massive purge. It would be extremely hard for their Forces to avoid that fate. Furthermore, the hidden experts would be the primary targets as they were the most powerful ones beneath the Immortal. Death would be their only outcome if they chose not to submit to the mastermind.
The environment of the Upper Realm was changing rapidly as it recovered at a faster pace than before. However, if they were to wait until the day when the environment could host one more Immortal, it would take at least a few centuries, if not more.
Unless they found a way to become Immortal in this environment, just like that cruel mastermind did, there was little to no hope.
During this time, all Forces of the Upper Realm were filled with dread. They lived in constant fear and could not be as carefree as they were before. Even the most ancient of the Forces with massive legacies also hid themselves in Small Universes, cutting off all contact with the outside world as a means to protect themselves.
Alas, they knew that such measures could only do so much. If an Immortal wished to break into their Small Universe, they would not be able to stop him.
Many were trying to figure out who that ruthless individual was, and some thought about the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being.
However, he was seen with Dark Heaven recently, which dispelled that possibility. It was only then that everyone realised even the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being was a part of Dark Heaven.
It was immensely shocking news, but no one knew that the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being they saw was merely a puppet.
The chaos in the Upper Realm intensified and everyone felt threatened. However, after Gu Changge returned to the Upper Realm, he did not do anything to draw attention to himself. He went silent and unnoticed. He did not make any grand gestures.
He appeared at the Unrivalled Celestial Dynasty and met up with Yue Mingkong since the two of them only had a short time together after their wedding.
Later on, with the appearance of a new Immortal, the Upper Realm descended into chaos and Yue Mingkong had to immediately return to the Unrivalled Celestial Dynasty to handle a lot of things.
As for Tao Yao, she returned to Peach Village. Along the way, Empress Huang Yu left for the universe where those from her Ascension Celestial Dynasty had escaped to. She was worried about them and naturally, Gu Changge did not stop her.
“Although I knew you were bound to succeed, I couldn’t help but worry anyway.” Deep inside the palace, Yue Mingkong lay in Gu Changge’s arms. Her robe made her enchanting figure even more alluring. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on his face with a look of infatuation.
Gu Changge smiled faintly and rested his chin on her head. “How could I possibly fail? No one in this world can stop me now. I will soon open up the Immortal Domain so that all of you can become Immortals too.”
“Becoming an Immortal is a goal that’s still too far out of my reach right now. I still have a long way to go before I even become a True Daoist. Right now, I don’t really have a strong desire to become an Immortal. All I want is to stay by your side. That’s enough for me.” Yue Mingkong whispered back to him. She was filled with an unprecedented sense of peace. All her worries were gone now. She could finally sleep soundly.
All along, she never wanted much. Even after she took over the Unrivalled Celestial Dynasty, she merely tried her best to help Gu Changge in any way she could.
Power and other such things were completely unimportant to her.
“If you’re tired, let someone else take charge of the Unrivalled Celestial Dynasty so that you can rest properly. I don’t need you to do so much for me anymore.” Gu Changge looked at her as she slept peacefully and gently smoothed out her furrowed brows. His heart ached a little for her.
Yue Mingkong simply hummed dreamily in response. She was clearly exhausted. Gu Changge smiled with a look of tenderness.
He had indeed expended a lot of her strength earlier.
A few days later, he left the Unrivalled Celestial Dynasty and went to Mortal Palace to see Jiang Chuchu. A long time ago, he promised that he would marry her, but he had not kept his promise yet.
Gu Changge always remembered the many promises he made to others, but there were not many that he wanted to fulfil. This was one he would not break.
“Are you leaving the Upper Realm after you become an Immortal?” Celestial Mist flitted around the curtains. Inside the palace, Jiang Chuchu opened her beautiful eyes and asked before she shyly pushed him. “You’re pressing down on my hair.”
Gu Changge lazed in bed. He was too lazy to even move. “Depends on how things go. I don’t plan on leaving the Upper Realm for now. Besides, there’s no connection to the Immortal Domain yet. So many epochs have passed. Who knows what things are like at the Immortal Domain now?”
“Is that so?” Jiang Chuchu seemed to understand, though not fully. However, a glimmer of hope danced in her doe eyes. “That means you’ll be staying in the Upper Realm for the time being, right?.”
Gu Changge nodded. He did not know what she was looking forward to, but it was true that Jiang Chuchu was rather clingy with him.
Now that his Primordial Spirit had become Immortal, it was easy for him to purge and integrate the whole Upper Realm. He did not have to waste much effort on this venture.
Once he returned to the Upper Realm, he instructed Ah Da, Ah Er, Yin Mei, and the others to take charge of Dark Heaven, and they were efficient in their work.
Even though he did not show himself in public, all of the Forces of the Upper Realm knew that the master of Dark Heaven was a True Immortal now. In that case, who would dare to stand against Dark Heaven? No one was that foolish. Some chose to submit themselves while those who did not were eliminated entirely.
“Speaking of which, my fellow Transmigrator is most likely no longer in the Upper Realm.” At this moment, Gu Changge recalled Wang Zijin. It had been a long time since he had heard any news about her.
Wang Zijin was quite enigmatic to him. She possessed a strange Physique. Initially, he wanted to see what it was, but he never pursued it.
In the following days, Gu Changge stayed at Mortal Palace with Jiang Chuchu to make up for what he owed her. Then, he made a trip to Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect and asked Lin Quihan about the Violet Supreme Alchemy Pill. After learning about the whereabouts of parts of the pill’s formula, he went and retrieved them for her.
After all, the pill was connected to the rapid advancement of those around Gu Changge, so it was of significant importance to him.
