Chu Lian was a little puzzled and confused, but he was more cautious and careful.
He tried to communicate with the Weapon Spirit of the Sphere of Great Wishes in his mind, but the Weapon Spirit seemed to be in a deep sleep and did not respond to his questions.
Chu Lian had no choice but to calm down and observe the situation.
He did not know if the terrifying existence mentioned by the Weapon Spirit of the Sphere of Great Wishes was among the few people in front of him.
Chu Lian noticed that the Spirit Emperor seemed to be very close to the handsome young man in front of him, as if they knew each other.
Just now, the two of them were standing side by side on the mountain, whispering something.
The black-robed old man with unfathomable strength was most likely the young man's old servant, responsible for his safety.
As for that enchanting and charming woman, it was very likely that she was his maid.
Looking at it this way, the young man's background was definitely not ordinary, and he was either rich or noble.
When Chu Lian opened his mouth to ask, his Junior Sister Mingxiu smiled and took the initiative to explain, "Senior Brother Chu Lian, this is Young Master Gu. He is Miss Huang's cousin. Miss Huang is waiting here because she is waiting for Young Master Gu."
"Cousin?"
Chu Lian was stunned, and his surname was Gu?
This was a very rare surname, he had never heard of any family with the surname Gu.
He was a little cautious.
At this moment, Gu Changge also retracted his gaze from Chu Lian, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said with a faint smile, "Ling Huang has mentioned Brother Chu Lian to me before, I am also quite impressed by your great ambition."
The Spirit Emperor smiled and explained, "Young Master Chu Lian, you don't have to worry, my cousin has always admired people like you, he praises all kinds of people with great ambition. Previously, I casually mentioned you in front of my cousin, he was also quite impressed and felt that there was a need to meet you."
"This time, my cousin and I have something to do and coincidentally met you, so we waited here for my cousin's arrival."
Chu Lian's gaze swept across the Spirit Emperor and Gu Changge, he felt that the two of them did not seem to be cousins.
That was because the way Gu Changge looked at the Spirit Emperor was simply too calm. There was not much intimacy in his eyes.
This gave people a feeling of being high and mighty, as if he had been in a high position for a long time and was in control of life and death.
"I see. Could it be that Young Master Gu is also dissatisfied with the current atrocities of the Spiritual Ruins royal family? "Chu Lian withdrew his thoughts and asked with cupped fists.
Regardless of the relationship between Gu Changge and the Soul Emperor, the most important thing for him now was to leave this place as soon as possible.
The artifact spirit of the Noble Sphere did not answer his question.
Chu Lian guessed that the terrifying existence might have returned. The artifact spirit of the Noble Orb didn't dare to reveal any abnormalities, fearing that it would reveal any flaws and be discovered.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The Spiritual Ruins Royal Family is wasting manpower and resources, causing the other races to be dissatisfied. Sooner or later, they will be devoured."
Gu Changge was still smiling faintly.
He was indeed a little surprised. When he had just arrived here, he seemed to have been noticed by something.
That was why he concealed his aura later on and didn't reveal any abnormalities.
Gu Changge guessed that it might be because of the supreme treasure on Chu Lian's body.
The supreme treasure had a spirit and had already chosen its owner. The moment he arrived, it sensed something and alerted its current owner.
Logically speaking, if a supreme treasure with a spirit knew that an extremely powerful existence had arrived, it would usually choose a new owner.
After all, a fine bird chose a tree to nest in, and a fine subject chose a master to serve.
Most of the time, it wasn't the owner who chose the supreme treasure, but the supreme treasure who chose the owner. Although Chu Lian was a little special and had an unpredictable fate, his current strength was indeed too weak. If someone snatched the supreme treasure away, he wouldn't have the strength to protect it.
The reason why the supreme treasure chose to warn its owner was because there was another possibility and it couldn't choose a new owner for the time being.
Or perhaps, Chu Lian had obtained the recognition of the supreme treasure?
The second possibility was unrealistic in Gu Changge's opinion.
He intended to find a chance to communicate with the supreme treasure. After all, this was a supreme treasure that could turn a normal person into an Anomaly. If he couldn't create it with his current strength, then its origins would definitely not be simple.
When he was sizing up Chu Lian just now, Gu Changge was basically certain.
Chu Lian's current potential had indeed surpassed the limits and could be called an Anomaly.
This Anomaly was not like Ni Chen in Dao Chang True World. It was not an Anomaly created by someone to hide the secrets of Heaven and create an Anomaly.
Instead, it was because he had become the owner of the supreme treasure and was truly an Anomaly.
"Young Master Chu Lian, have you found the item left behind by your parents that is very important to you?"
At that moment, Sovereign Ling spoke with a hint of concern and cleverly changed the topic.
When Chu Lian heard this, he reacted and shook his head. "I went to the place where it was most likely to have fallen and looked around, but I didn't find anything. It must have been picked up by someone a long time ago or dropped somewhere else."
As he spoke, a slightly regretful expression appeared on his face.
Ming Xiu also comforted him in a timely manner. "Senior brother, don't be sad. You might find out one day that the item didn't fall. Perhaps you've forgotten about it somewhere."
Chu Lian forced a smile, looking as if he was not in a good mood.
He might have some doubts about Gu Changge's identity, but it was not good for him to ask. It did not matter whether it was the old man in black robes or the charming woman, they were both existences he could not fight against.
Then, Chu Lian spoke, intending to leave this place first. He also asked where Sovereign Ling was going next. If it was on the way, then they could go together.
Sovereign Ling had already sent someone to watch Chu Lian's journey and knew where he was going next, which was why he gave him the name of a place.
"That's great! Miss Huang can go with us again!" Ming Xiu cried out happily.
Chu Lian had quite a good impression of Sovereign Ling. It was pretty good for him to be able to travel with a beauty.
It was just that he could not figure out the relationship between Gu Changge and Sovereign Ling. Not only did the two of them ride in the same carriage, Sovereign Ling was half a step behind when they got on the carriage, allowing Gu Changge to get on first.
Chu Lian noticed this detail and became even more curious about Gu Changge's identity.
Moreover, Sovereign Ling seemed to be very respectful and fearful of the old man in black robes.
Since she was his cousin, then logically, Sovereign Ling and Gu Changge should be of similar status. But why was there still a hierarchy?
"It's a pity that the weapon spirit of the Sphere of Noble Wishes doesn't care about me right now. Otherwise, I could ask it and hear its opinion." Chu Lian mounted his horse and followed at the back of the group, leaving the barren mountain.
He did not think that Gu Changge could be the terrifying existence that the spirit of the Sphere of Great Wishes had mentioned.
In his eyes, the possibility of the old man in black robes and the charming woman was higher.
There was actually a space in the carriage, and it was not as narrow as it looked from the outside.
Gu Changge sat cross-legged on a praying mat with a pensive look on his face.
Sovereign Ling was kneeling in front of him, boiling tea. She did not dare disturb Gu Changge's thoughts.
There were runes in this space that isolated all senses and deductions.
Even those in Dao Realm would find it difficult to see what was going on inside.
"How is the army that has been recruited?"
Gu Changge seemed to have returned to his senses. He swept his gaze towards Sovereign Ling and asked.
"The Progenitor and the others have already sent an order. The powerful warriors of the various Great Thousand Worlds have come in response to the order. They will gather in the next few days," Sovereign Ling said respectfully.
Even now, she still did not know which True World Gu Changge was planning to attack.
If it was the True World that they had their eyes on beforehand, they would not have sent such a large army.
The True Spiritual Ruins World might not be a very powerful ancient True World in the Vast Expanse, but its foundation was not to be underestimated. It was more than enough to sweep through a normal True World.
However, she did not dare to ask too much about this matter.
Gu Changge nodded, his gaze falling on Sovereign Ling's veiled face.
He smiled faintly and extended his hand, as if intending to take off her veil.
Sovereign Ling froze in the middle of boiling tea. Her movements became stiff, and she did not even dare to move.
"My … My Lord …"
She was a little afraid. She did not understand Gu Changge's sudden action, and her voice trembled slightly.
She did not want to become Gu Changge's subordinate or a human cauldron.
Besides, Gu Changge had said before that he was not interested in her.
"I don't like people being secretive in front of me. You don't have to be nervous. It's more pleasing to the eye this way."
Gu Changge was still smiling faintly. He did not care about her nervousness and uneasiness, and just took off her veil.
Sovereign Ling heaved a sigh of relief. However, for some reason, there was a strange feeling in her heart that made her face burn.
This was the first time in her many years of cultivation that she felt this way. She could not help but look up at Gu Changge, then quickly retracted her gaze.
"Usually, when I leave the palace, I will wear a veil and almost never show my face to others. I don't mean to be disrespectful to you … "Sovereign Ling explained softly.
However, Gu Changge acted as if she did not hear her words. She looked out of the carriage and casually said, "I know you are afraid and worried. I also know that your clan should be very curious right now. You want to know my origins and my plans. Even more so, you want to know why I asked you to gather an army."
Hearing this, Sovereign Ling quickly discarded the messy thoughts in her mind and listened attentively.
She did not know why Gu Changge suddenly said this to her.
Usually, Gu Changge was very calm and did not speak much to her or to the Patriarchs of the Spiritual Ruins.
But now, it seemed like something had suddenly touched his heart?
"Your strength is unfathomable. It would be difficult for you to find an opponent in the entire Vast Expanse World. We of the Spiritual Ruins World do not want to be destroyed and buried in the long river of time just because we resist you."
Sovereign Ling carefully considered her words before replying.
She had actually obtained some information from the Patriarchs.
The Patriarchs all believed that Gu Changge was a taboo lord who wandered in the Vast Expanse. Wherever he went, that place would become a forbidden zone.
After an endless amount of time, he woke up again and wanted to find a suitable True World to devour and recover his Qi and blood.
If the Spiritual Ruins World resisted, they would become food and be devoured by him.
"Those who obey will prosper and those who defy will die. Your Spiritual Ruins Clan is indeed very smart. You are also very smart."
"However, I have always felt that instead of being feared, it is better to be revered. It is truly lonely at the top. "Gu Changge smiled.
Sovereign Ling did not know why, but she felt a sense of loneliness from his words. It was as if he was sitting alone in the Ninth Heaven and looking down on all living things without a single person beside him.
She considered her words again and said, "But I feel that you would not do such a thing. You have a greater goal … The Spiritual Ruins World is not worth mentioning in your eyes."
"Is that so? I did not expect that you would think so. "Gu Changge smiled and did not express his opinion.
Sovereign Ling felt that their clan seemed to have a deep misunderstanding and fear of Gu Changge since the beginning.
Now that she had come into contact with Gu Changge, she could feel the change in their state of mind even more. This lord … should have experienced many things. He might seem young, but in truth, he had experienced the vicissitudes of life. All his actions seemed to be for something …
Otherwise, Gu Changge would not have said those words to her as if something had touched his heart.
At this moment, Emperor Ling felt much more relaxed, as if a great deal of pressure had been lifted from his shoulders. He no longer had to be so fearful when speaking to Gu Changge, nor did he need to carefully consider his words.
Gu Changge noticed the change in Sovereign Ling's state of mind at this moment. There was still a faint smile on his face.
However, there was no change in his heart. It was as still as an abyss.
Since he wanted to let the name of the Heaven Crusading Alliance resound throughout the Vast Expanse, he definitely had to come up with a good name and a legitimate goal.
Sovereign Ling in front of him gave him a good opportunity.
These words that seemed to be from the bottom of his heart seemed to be closing the distance between him and Sovereign Ling.
In reality, it was to perfect his image in the hearts of Sovereign Ling and the others. It was to plant a seed in advance.
The Heaven Crusading Alliance sought to conquer the heavens. It would definitely bear terrifying karma and suffer endless calamities.
Why was he willing to establish the Heaven Crusading Alliance and conquer the heavens for no reason?
As the Demon Lord, he roamed the Vast Expanse. Had he encountered an existence from the Origin World and died? Was that why he had a grudge?
That was not enough. Everything before the Demon Lord was a blank. Who knew?
Therefore, it was natural that they would have to trace back to his distant past …
As for what past it was, it was not important. It was enough to let people understand his past and the reason behind it.
It was because of this past that Gu Changge made a great ambition to establish the Heaven Crusading Alliance. He wanted to mobilize the forces of the entire Vast Expanse to conquer the heavens and conquer the heavens!
Gu Changge always liked to do things without leaving any loopholes. There must be a cause and an effect. Now, he was going to perfect the cause in advance for this effect.
