This was not a very long process. During the decades along the way, Gu Changge walked through mountains, swamps, and ancient cities with the identity of a mortal, not revealing the slightest bit of cultivation.
Even those who traveled with him treated him as a real mortal.
During this period, Gu Changge saw with his own eyes the chaos between cultivators, fighting for wealth, companions, techniques, and land, and killing each other.
He had also seen ancient dynasties disappear one after another under the great world, vanishing just like that, drowning in the torrent of history.
Gu Changge also witnessed the separation of life and death between many mortals. He saw the birth of life and also saw the death of life and the aging of life. His understanding of mortal emotions was obviously much deeper.
Later on, he walked through the starry universe and appeared in many ancient realms.
He even went to the Demon Realm and left his footprints there again.
However, Demon Empress Xi Yao was no longer in the Demon Realm. She only left behind a Dharma body to guard in case the Demon Realm was in chaos.
Her original body went to the starry sky in search of an opportunity to break through. She stepped on the Emperor's Road a few years ago and reached the Emperor Realm in the depths of another starry sky.
However, she did not choose to return to the Demon Realm. Instead, she continued on her journey in an attempt to break through to a higher realm.
For today's world, the cultivation of those who had achieved the Dao could be said to be far from enough.
The Demon Empress Xi Yao knew this very well. As the ruler of the Demon Realm, although she had an ambiguous relationship with Gu Changge, it was difficult to convince the masses without absolute strength.
Even Immortal Kings had to carefully hide, unable to withstand the wind and waves.
During this time, there were naturally many ancient great demons in the Demon Realm. They had a long lifespan and terrifying strength.
The Demon Court, which originally unified the various realms, was also in a state of collapse. The various Demon Ancestors occupied a region and did not give in to each other.
If it were not for the close relationship between the Demon Empress and Gu Changge, they would not dare to attack the Demon Court. Otherwise, they would have already annexed the Demon Court.
From this, it could be seen that the situation in the Demon Realm was turbulent. The originally peaceful places were once again filled with war, and the common people of the Demon Realm had no way to make a living.
Gu Changge stayed in the Demon Realm for a while. He didn't go to the Demon Court, nor did he look for Xi Yao to talk about old times.
He still chose to view all of this from the perspective of a traveler. He was impartial and would not say which side he was biased towards.
Several years later, he left quietly, and no one knew that he had come.
Gu Changge then went to other places. He went to the Sky Water Domain, passed through the Boundary Monument Sea, and appeared in Eight Desolates' 167 domains.
Celestial Deer City still stood tall and majestic, its walls engraved with ancient runes that flowed with terrifying power.
Cultivators from various clans came and went. It was extremely lively, and there was no lack of hawking sounds on the ancient streets.
Compared to the other realms, this place had become a pure land. There were no wars or disputes, and order was maintained. At least, that was the case for now.
The Eight Desolates and Ten Regions that were previously divided up by the various orthodoxies of the Upper Realm had now been abandoned one after another.
Each domain had a new master. From a certain point of view, it was as if they had been reborn.
Gu Changge had obtained the Epoch Tree here. He was also the first to break through Sky Deer City and enter the Eight Desolates Ten Regions.
However, he basically never came here again after that.
Now that he had reunited with his old acquaintance, he did not feel any emotions. He only felt a little emotional. Time passed by quickly.
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy did not sense his arrival. Now that he had returned to his original state, even if he had a great background and cultivation, he would not be able to sense it.
Therefore, when Gu Changge suddenly appeared beside the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy, she was shocked. It took her a long time to recover from her shock.
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy, who was now a True Immortal, could be considered an overlord.
To be able to appear beside her so silently, his cultivation level was definitely unimaginable. This was her first reaction. Then, she subconsciously wanted to attack Gu Changge.
Of course, with her cultivation level, she could not hurt Gu Changge.
Gu Changge suddenly had a bad taste in his mouth. He thought of the past with the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy and suddenly wanted to scare her.
Therefore, when she saw that the person was Gu Changge, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy was relieved. Then, she glared at him.
The two of them did not have deep feelings for each other.
In the beginning, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy had planned to sacrifice herself. She had left the city in an attempt to stop Gu Changge.
At that time, there was a vast army from the Upper World stationed at the shore of the Boundary Monument Sea. There were countless powerhouses.
If the Empyrean Deer City was breached, the Eight Desolates Ten Regions would definitely not be able to resist. That would be a terrible catastrophe for the Empyrean Deer City and the Eight Desolates Ten Regions behind it.
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy left alone to protect the Empyrean Deer City that her master had left behind. She planned to eliminate the biggest threat, Gu Changge, outside the Boundary Monument Sea.
Unfortunately, she had underestimated Gu Changge's strength and methods.
Not only did she not manage to hurt Gu Changge, but she was also captured. She was infected by the demonic aura and almost turned into a demon.
She, who was originally as pure as a Buddhist lotus, seemed to be somewhat evil and awe-inspiring.
After that, many things happened when the two of them went to the Nine Mountains.
With Gu Changge's help, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy got rid of a senior sister who had betrayed her master and had been hiding for many years. Then, she called herself Gu Changge's concubine.
All the cultivators in the Empyrean Deer City and the Eight Desolates Ten Regions thought that the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy had betrayed them.
In order to survive, she did not hesitate to submit to Gu Changge and was even willing to be his concubine.
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy did not care about the insults and ridicule. She continued to do her own thing and did not care about the opinions of others.
Gu Changge remembered all these clearly. It was also because of the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy that the Eight Desolates Ten Regions were safe.
The two of them did not have deep feelings for each other. At most, they were dependent on each other and were dependent on each other.
Gu Changge came to the Empyrean Deer City because he was following the universe's starry sky. It just so happened that it was on the way.
Therefore, he wanted to revisit this place and take a look.
During this time, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy told him about the changes in the Boundary Monument Sea.
A while ago, there were many strange scenes that appeared there. A portion of the originally surging Boundary Monument Sea had already dried up, revealing the cracked seabed.
She had sent people to investigate, but they were stopped by an invisible force and could not really get close.
Therefore, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy did not know what had happened in the depths of the Boundary Monument Sea.
Gu Changge did not care about this. He had known for a long time that there was an ancient battlefield under the Boundary Monument Sea.
The original Heaven-Conquering Army had fallen there. Later on, for some reason, the ancient battlefield fell there.
The Boundary Monument Sea and the Vast Ocean came from the same source, but there was a clear difference in levels.
It could be said that the Boundary Monument Sea was actually the water of the Vast Ocean that had evolved over countless years.
That was why many cultivators were curious about the origins of those tumbling ancient realms.
Why was it that even True Immortals could not cross and became a natural barrier in the Eight Desolates Ten Regions?
These were not secrets to the current Gu Changge, so he told the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy not to worry about it.
Even if some old guys from ancient eras came out from the depths of the Boundary Monument Sea, they would not act rashly.
After staying in Empyrean Deer City for a few years, Gu Changge also left.
Along the way, he had seen all kinds of things in the world, life, death, grief, anger, obsession, and hatred.
However, to him, these insights were far from enough.
It was like witnessing these as a bystander, but he could not really experience them. It was as if he was just a little bit away.
It was like mist in the clouds, separated by mountains and seas. He could not personally touch it, let alone approach it.
He sighed in his heart. He still felt that he could not truly experience these things like a mortal.
After all, what he was doing was just like observing the lives of mortals from another perspective.
His actions were actually not much different from the Heavenly Dao.
Mortals were fundamentally different from him in terms of life.
"If I just act like a mortal, I can't make up for and perfect the Dao of Man."
"To begin with, this point is like standing at a high place, like observing ants, looking down on these …"
Gu Changge frowned. He felt that he should change his mindset and method.
Otherwise, if he continued like this, he could only look at flowers through the mist.
He could only vaguely see a little bit.
Therefore, he might have to abandon his current identity and cultivation and truly become a mortal.
Of course, it was not really abandoning it. Instead, he had to completely become a mortal during this period of time.
It was as if he had forgotten his origins and everything.
In this case, it was not a bad idea. He could completely cut off his previous problems.
Therefore, in the next few years, Gu Changge personally sealed many of his memories, forgetting his past as a cultivator. He even completely hid his cultivation.
This time, he was finally like a mortal, able to experience all kinds of normal emotions.
He would get sick, he would feel pain, he would feel hatred for the wicked, he would feel pity for the weak, he would feel sympathy for the tragic experiences, he would feel joy for the sunny weather …
Gu Changge felt that he could really live like a mortal.
No, he was now a mortal in the true sense of the word.
He did not use the method of reincarnation to comprehend these things. Instead, it was like starting a new life.
Gu Changge could not cross the starry sky like a cultivator, flying in the sky and burrowing through the earth.
Even if it was just climbing over a mountain, he would be so tired that he would gasp for breath. He would feel hungry, thirsty, dizzy, powerless, and many other feelings that only mortals would have.
His life would grow old with the passing of time. He could no longer stay in his youth forever. He could no longer stand in the high and mighty domain and look down on everything in the heavens.
Even when he walked through mountains and swamps, he had to avoid many wild beasts to avoid becoming food for them.
After becoming a mortal, he would get sick, hungry, tired, and old …
Gu Changge felt that his memory had become bad. He began to forget some things and had symptoms of forgetfulness.
He seemed to have forgotten his purpose and why he had become like this.
Who was he before? What did he want to do? Why did he keep walking?
Where was his destination?
Thus, Gu Changge stopped. He felt very tired and needed to find a place to stop. He did not want to rest, but simply wanted to rest.
He was really tired, but not in the physical sense.
This tiredness seemed to have accumulated for countless years. Then, at this moment, it burst out like a tidal wave, completely drowning him.
Qingshan Village. This was the place that Gu Changge had left behind.
This village was not very big. There were only a few hundred families.
However, it was surrounded by mountains and rivers. There were many official roads that connected to the nearest town.
Every day, caravans would pass by here, bringing all kinds of beautiful and inexpensive goods.
They came from cities in the distance. There were even powerful cultivators who could fly in the sky and burrow through the earth to guard the peace in all directions.
"I must go to the Scorching Sun Sect next year and ask the immortals of the Scorching Sun Sect to accept me as a disciple."
"At that time, I can also become an immortal who can fly in the sky and burrow through the earth …"
In a slightly dilapidated brick house, a little boy with slightly tanned skin and patched clothes clenched his fists and said with determination in his eyes.
"The Scorching Sun Sect only accepts children with roots. You silly boy, what are you thinking? Why don't you eat properly? "
"Do you think you can become an immortal just because you want to? So many rich young masters can't squeeze in even if they break their heads … "
A middle-aged man with a simple and honest face reached out his chopsticks and knocked the little boy's head, scolding him with a smile.
The woman next to him also shook her head and smiled helplessly.
This was a simple and warm family of three. They were also the family that temporarily took in Gu Changge.
He walked all the way to Qingshan Village, intending to rest here.
This middle-aged man was called Wang Erniu, a very simple name.
At that time, he rushed back from the market with his child, Wang Xiaoniu, and happened to see Gu Changge resting on a bluestone.
Gu Changge looked travel-worn, and even his clothes were a little shabby.
But sitting there, Wang Erniu found it hard to forget.
This was a very strange feeling. Even the master in the city recently did not have such a bearing.
So, Wang Erniu tried to go up and ask. Gu Changge just happened to feel a little thirsty, so he tried to ask for a bowl of water to drink.
Wang Erniu was very warm and simple. He took him home, asked his wife to heat up the meal, and even killed an old hen that he had raised for several years.
Gu Changge originally wanted to leave after drinking the water, but he could not refuse Wang Erniu's kindness.
"Why can't you become an immortal?"
"Isn't the sister at the village in the west an immortal? After so many years, I haven't seen her age. She's always so beautiful. "
"I don't care. Anyway, I'm going to become an immortal and marry Sister Fairy when I grow up."
Although Wang Xiaoniu was scolded by his father, he still said that when he grew up, he would marry Sister Fairy.
Undoubtedly, after saying this, he was hit on the head again by the chopsticks.
Wang Erniu's face became serious, and he said, "You little brat, don't talk nonsense."
"That Miss Su is the reincarnation of a living Buddha. For so many years, not only did she treat the villagers for free, but she also taught you to read and write. If you dare to say this again, I'll beat your ass."
