The long river of time overflowed. Many waves rushed over, and then they silently disappeared, returning to calmness.
Gu Changge's real body sat on the other end of the river of time. His gaze was deep as fog surrounded him, concealing everything. His gaze pierced through the passage of time.
"Understanding this truth might be the best choice for all of you," he said softly.
Two fragments of the river of time danced in front of him, reflecting the different stages of time that Chan Hongyi and Tao Yao were in.
The two of them saw different scenes, but they could be condensed into one timeline.
Gu Changge did not continue to interfere. Whether it was what Chan Hongyi or Tao Yao saw, it was the truth of that period of time.
However, this layer of truth was not entirely the truth. There were many things that were deliberately 'revealed' like this.
Gu Changge had said before that the various things that happened in the past were all part of a show.
Due to his interference, the second Cataclysm of Armageddon arrived before the Forbidden Era. The True Mountain and Sea World would not be able to withstand it and would be destroyed.
There was nothing that could be done about this. As the True Spirit of the True Mountain and Sea World, Qing Yi discussed this with him. The two of them planned to deceive the heavens and act out a scene of them turning against each other.
As the Demon Master, he destroyed the True Mountain and Sea World, causing it to collapse and reincarnate to return to seclusion.
It was also because of this that the True Mountain and Sea World's destiny declined, allowing them to avoid the second Cataclysm of Armageddon.
In this show, the reason why he and Qing Yi turned against each other was because of Chan Hongyi.
In order to not leave any loopholes, this show had started before Chan Hongyi was born.
In other words, from the start, Chan Hongyi was a chess piece destined to be in this game of chess.
Birth, apprenticeship, cultivation, leaving the mountain...
All of this was destined before she was born. It was just that she did not know about it.
Then, as her Master, as he interacted with his disciple day and night, he gradually developed "feelings" for her.
The relationship between Qing Yi and him was that of a Daoist couple and a close friend. Naturally, she was dissatisfied with him and secretly envied him.
Later on, he disguised himself as Gu Changge and sent bandits to massacre the village where Chan Hongyi was born and her parents.
It was not easy for Gu Changge to deal with this kind of situation. No matter which side he favored, it was not appropriate.
As such, he chose to hide the truth from Chan Hongyi and cut off all contact with Qingyi.
Qing Yi was dissatisfied with his choice and wanted to kill Chan Hongyi. The two of them fell out and became enemies.
Later on, it led to the destruction of the Immortal Palace, the collapse of the heavens, and the end of the epoch.
This so-called 'truth' was forever buried in the forbidden era. Perhaps none of the countless lives in the True Mountain and Sea World would be able to guess that this was the truth. They would be shocked and in disbelief.
Of course, this was only the overall situation that Tsing Yi and Gu Changge had discussed beforehand.
It was to ensure that the battle of calamity was logical and not leave behind any flaws or variables.
Even the existences who stood at the peak of Origin Realm would find it difficult to find any abnormalities in the situation through deductions.
This was also the only way Qing Yi could think of for the True Mountain and Sea World to avoid the second calamity and leave behind a more stable and peaceful era for the later generations.
The price for this was that the True Mountain and Sea World's kismet would be depleted and they would no longer be at their peak. They would need a long time to recover.
During this process, they would also need to be wary of the other True Worlds devouring and merging with them, as well as various other hidden dangers.
After all, during the peak of the True Mountain and Sea World, there were several Heaven Destroyers who attacked the Origin World together.
"All of this might seem to have been arranged a long time ago. But even you, Qing Yi, don't know that you are just in the middle of the act? "
Gu Changge's eyes were deep, but there was not a hint of emotion in them. He sighed softly.
In Qing Yi's eyes, he was a Heaven Destroyer from the endless universe. He had participated in the battle to attack the Origin World and saved her life when she was in danger.
That was why Qing Yi had never doubted him.
As for Chan Hongyi, once she saw the truth in the fragment of the long river of time, she would no longer doubt him. Instead, she would feel guilty because of all these things.
Boom!
Gu Changge's eyes were calm. He swung his arm, and the long river of time before him surged with monstrous waves once again.
A vast fog surged forward and covered the quiet region of the sea, sealing off Chan Hongyi and Tao Yao's path back to the main world.
"But for the sake of the follow-up plan, I can't let you return."
Gu Changge said softly.
Waves rose and fell, and the Immortal Ship of Destiny appeared under his feet, carrying him out of the long river of time.
An indistinct shadow of a long river appeared in the Temple of Destiny, and soon after, Gu Changge walked out of it.
He cast a glance at Xiao Ruoyin, who was waiting for him, and asked, "How long has it been?"
"Your Majesty, a full half a month has passed."
Xiao Ruoyin replied. She took the Immortal Ship of Destiny from Gu Changge with some surprise. She didn't know why, but she could see a trace of fatigue between his brows.
She found it hard to believe that such an expression would appear on Gu Changge's face.
In her impression, Gu Changge was always calm and confident, as if everything was under his control. It was as if there was nothing in this world that he couldn't do.
Even if the sky collapsed and the earth caved in, or the ages turned to dust, she wouldn't be able to see a trace of change in his expression.
But what had he encountered in this long river of time that made him show a trace of fatigue?
Was it because of mental fatigue?
Xiao Ruoyin didn't see the figures of Tao Yao and Chan Hongyi. She guessed that they might have encountered something and disappeared into the river of time.
She remained silent. She didn't know what to say at this time.
"Only half a month has passed?"
Gu Changge thought that this long river of time was several years away from the present world. Because of many things that happened during this time, the long river was blurred. Even he couldn't tell how much time had passed.
In the process of returning to the present world, he saw thousands of light spots flying up from the long river of time, floating and sprinkling into various river regions.
Some of them were even guided by a blurry path of light and disappeared within.
"Your Majesty, are you returning to the Divine Palace?"
Seeing Gu Changge looking at the sky outside the palace with an expression that Xiao Ruoyin couldn't see clearly, she couldn't help but ask softly.
The sky was already dark, but in the Divine Palace of Destiny, near the vast sea of stars, it was impossible to distinguish between day and night.
"I won't be returning to the Divine Palace tonight."
Gu Changge came back to his senses and rubbed his forehead. He wanted to go to Peach Village and see Gu Xian'er, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Although Gu Xian'er had three lives, she probably hadn't awakened the memories of her first life yet.
And for her, she might not be willing to accept the memories of her first life.
Just like when she gave up the memories of her second life called Dao Xian.
After the Upper Realm and the Immortal Region gradually connected, the environment of heaven and earth changed faster. Gu Changge had a premonition that some of the arrangements made by Qing Yi would appear again.
Some people who died in the first War of the Heavens and fell into the reincarnation cycle would probably choose to return in this life.
Ancient heroic spirits, those powerhouses who reincarnated into the cycle of reincarnation.
Maybe some people around him would awaken related memories. The path of reincarnation that had been hidden in the past moved again.
"Then I will serve Your Majesty to bed."
Xiao Ruoyin's face turned rosy. She reached out and took off Gu Changge's coat.
Gu Changge retracted his thoughts and looked at the beauty beside him. His eyes were unclear.
The night was sad, the spring scenery was endless, the clouds dispersed and the rain cleared.
In the following years, as Gu Changge had predicted, the Upper Realm's Fate gushed out and surged like a vast ocean.
Outstanding talents were born in every large world and ancient universe.
After the rules of heaven and earth became more complete, some outstanding figures of the past also seemed to have a second spring. Their cultivation that was originally shackled and limited rose.
Those Heaven's pridelings of the same generation as Gu Changge, such as the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, Six Crown King Jun Yao, and others, had already entered the ranks of supreme beings.
Some people even began to break through to the Quasi-emperor realm and stepped onto the original Emperor's Road.
Gu Changge was in the Divine Palace, watching Gu Xian'er leave the Peach Village and set foot on the road. He also saw some of his old acquaintances.
For example, the young master of the ancient Ye clan, Ye Langtian, who should now be called the head of the Ye clan, and his sister, Ye Liuli.
The ancient Ye clan had already submitted to the Divine Nation and had a high status in the imperial court.
Ye Langtian stepped onto the road this time to seek an opportunity to achieve the Dao.
Although the Divine Nation had a shortcut like the Immortal Investiture Roll, it could help many cultivators to reach the heavens in a single step and directly become immortals worshipped by the Divine Nation.
However, many Heaven's pridelings were proud and did not want to be shackled and bound by the shackles. They relied on external objects to achieve their Dao.
That was tantamount to rootless duckweed. Once the Divine Nation collapsed, it also meant that their Dao would disappear overnight.
In fact, there were many people like Ye Langtian. There were even self-proclaimed Heaven's pridelings who lived in the same era as Gu Changge. However, because of his existence, they were once again sealed. Now, they broke through the seal and set foot on the Emperor's Road.
In the Divine Nation, Gu Changge saw many familiar faces walking on the road.
Yan Ji, Hei Yan Yu, and others who had followed him before.
Even the master of the Demon Realm, Empress Xi Yao, who had been conferred the title of Demon Concubine, was also on the road, trying to seize the opportunity to achieve the Dao.
This road was long and extremely dangerous. Some people died halfway, but there were also people who experienced many dangers, and their cultivation improved even further.
Gu Changge just watched, quietly observing the changes in the fate of the thousands of worlds. He completely refined the source and true blood that he had devoured when he went to the Celestial Realm.
Above the Immortal Dao, there were True Immortals, Immortal Kings, and Immortal Emperors. Above them was the threshold of transcendence.
The gap between True Immortals and Immortal Kings was like the gap between an ant and a True Dragon. The gap between Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings was even more terrifying. It could not be described with words.
The Immortal King Realm could be accumulated with Dao techniques, time, and talent. However, the Immortal Emperor Realm was unreachable. It was impossible to touch it with these.
Even if one was peerlessly talented and looked down on the past and present, they would be stopped by that threshold.
One Immortal King could be born in 100 epochs. However, among the 100 Immortal Kings, only one in a hundred had the qualifications to touch that road. It was clear how dangerous and terrifying it was.
