Gu Changge stood in the boundless void and watched as the shower of light entered his loved ones’ bodies.

 

Yue Mingkong, who was still in a seclusion, was too absorbed in her cultivation to notice. Her body was surrounded by emptiness and darkness.

 

On the other hand, Jiang Chuchu seemed to have felt something as she glanced in the direction of the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Everyone was making the most of this glorious era by cultivating as much as they could, and naturally, his women were no exception. Many were already Fortuitous Ones or fortunate people blessed by Fortuity. Due to their intimate relationship with Gu Changge, their Fortuity also surged along with the Fortuity of Prosperous Dao True World.

 

In terms of speed of cultivation, they had already surpassed many others. All they lacked was time.

 

After seeing all of these scenes, Gu Changge slowly closed his eyes.

 

His vast and majestic will slowly spread out.

 

In an instant, it weaved through the endless void and shrouded countless ancient worlds until it covered every part of Prosperous Dao True World.

 

“Seems like she’s no longer in the Prosperous Dao True World.”

 

Gu Changge tried to seek out a person’s aura. However, even after his divine sense had swept through every corner of the universe, he found no trace of the young woman.

 

He was searching for Ah Man, the young woman from the Primeval World and his chosen Successor.

 

Gu Changge had specifically left a wisp of his Soul on her to be used in the future.

 

However, it was just as he predicted. Ah Man was no longer in Prosperous Dao True World. She had been taken to a different world.

 

After seeing the change in Ah Man’s fate, Gu Changge deduced it. Nevertheless, he did not inform her of it at the time. He planned on observing the changes from a distance.

 

Ah Man was not a living being from the Prosperous Dao True World. She came from beyond the Boundless Expanse. Nevertheless, in Gu Changge’s eyes, she was a poor girl suffering under the control of another and living in a world made up of lies and illusions.

 

The Grandfather she respected was merely her keeper who made sure she kept repeating her life over and over again.

 

The Father who treated her as if she were his own was merely a puppet controlled by the Primeval Deity. Meanwhile, the Primeval Deity she worshipped was merely someone else’s pawn and servant.

 

Their goal was simply for her to repeat her life over and over again until she forgot about the past and truly awakened her Demonic Heart.

 

Naturally, Gu Changge knew that this was Ah Man’s trial. Once she could break through the lies and illusions, she would emerge from her cocoon as a butterfly.

 

However, it was a very cruel treatment of her.

 

Gu Changge became intrigued when he saw her fate and realised, she would become a female Demon that wreaked havoc on the world.

 

At the time, Prosperous Dao True World did not have enough Fortuity to bear the growth and birth of someone with such a fate.

 

Therefore, Gu Changge did not think about keeping her beside him. He allowed her to grow on her own. He wanted her to see through the lies herself and face the cruel truth.

 

In a sense, he was using Ah Man as bait to lure out the being who left her in his Prosperous Dao True World.

 

[It seems like she has seen through the illusions and personally shattered the lies she had been living through.] Gu Changge did not pay much attention to this. At the time, he had merely sought out suitable candidates as an experiment.

 

Ah Man’s future growth relied on her own development. He had merely appeared at the right time and helped her deal with a few sticky issues.

 

Gu Changge had also only searched Prosperous Dao True World because he wanted to confirm something before he left.

 

[It seems like beings from other True Worlds have already become aware of Prosperous Dao True World’s existence numerous epochs ago. That being behind Ah Man, who was able to secretly set all of this up, cannot be an ordinary person.] His gaze was deep and unreadable.

 

After returning to the Heavenslayers Alliance, Gu Changge left a wisp of his Soul behind. He planned on heading out into the Boundless Expanse.

 

He did not plan on sticking around and waiting for the arrival of the Hunters from the Boundless Expanse.

 

With his powers, he did not need to rely on external objects to traverse through the Boundless Expanse.

 

Still, he needed time to confirm the location of certain True Worlds within the Boundless Expanse.

 

He was never a Saint who wanted to rescue those who suffered. He never truly considered saving the world.

 

To put it simply, what did the world have to do with him?

 

If not for the sake of his future plans, Gu Changge would not have spent his time changing the True World’s name to Prosperous Dao True World and setting up the concept of him being the Heavenly Dao.

 

It was just, no one in existence could threaten those he wished to protect!

 

Right now, as long as Prosperous Dao True World was unaffected by other True Worlds, based on the abundance of its Fortuity, it would continue to flourish and grow stronger.

 

For the living beings of Prosperous Dao True World, the so-called Hunters were indeed a calamity, another Great Purge that was hard to defend against.

 

But in Gu Changge’s eyes, the Hunters were insignificant ants that could be destroyed with a flick of his hand.

 

He never truly cared about the Hunters. He merely brought them up to instil the right amount of fear and panic in the hearts of the all the Forces. In fact, the trace of his Soul he left behind was enough to scare them into staying away.

 

Right now, what he needed to consider was how to make the existence of the Heavenslayers Alliance spread across the vast Boundless Expanse and continue to expand.

 

To do so, he needed more than the legacy of a True World to support it.

 

Gu Changge was planning on locating other True Worlds. He would either conquer them or refine them and make them a part of the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Such an act would undoubtedly affect his reputation. Others would think he was no different than the Hunters from the Boundless Expanse.

 

Living beings would once again live in fear and panic, but Gu Changge did not care.

 

After all, in the eyes of many, he was the enigmatic and capricious Demon Lord. He could even kill his loved ones and cast out his disciple into the endless past.

 

What other heartless act of cruelty would he not do?

 

Gu Changge made proper arrangements for everything in Prosperous Dao True World.

 

He let the Gu Family’s Founding Ancestor handle the responsibilities of the Heavenslayers Alliance. Even though Gu Wuwang could not see some of the situation clearly yet, in Gu Changge’s eyes, everyone in the Gu Family was of use to him. They could be considered one of his earliest schemes.

 

As for the subsequent matters involving the so-called Chosen One, Ni Chen, everything was under Gu Changge’s control. He had calculated everything from the start.

 

He was not at all worried that Ni Chen might cause any trouble.

 

Before leaving Prosperous Dao True World, Wang Zijin came to see him again. She also planned on entering seclusion to focus on her cultivation.

 

To relieve the pain of longing, she did not care about the many details of what were to happen. In her mind, it was simple: whenever she missed him, she would come and see him.

 

Once Wang Zijin entered seclusion, there were few beings left in Prosperous Dao True World that Gu Changge was close with. Even Lin Qiuhan, whom he brought from the Lower Realm, had gone into seclusion many years ago to focus on her alchemy cultivation.

 

However, before leaving, Gu Changge made a trip to Green Mountain Village.

 

Right now, even the Gu Family’s Founding Ancestor and the others did not know that his true body was no longer in this True World.
