Mu Yan did not approach too closely. Nodding her head lightly, she asked, “Sir, did you leave the brocade bag with me because you wanted me to come here?”

 

The smile on Wang He’s face stiffened slightly at those words. He did not answer her question and glanced at Gu Changge standing beside her instead.

 

There was a sinking feeling in his heart. It would seem that the provocative statements he said to her previously had been for nothing, or else she would not be sticking so closely to Gu Changge right now. Furthermore, she had taken the initiative to mention the brocade bag in front of both him and Gu Changge.

 

[Could it be that she also told him about everything I said to her?]

 

[To think the future Sovereign Empress turned out to be so disappointing. Could it be that women often become completely addled by love in such situations? Is that why she could not differentiate between delusion and reality?]

 

Wang He glanced at Gu Changge, whose expression seemed rather carefree, and then withdrew his gaze. Although various thoughts had flashed through his mind at that moment, he did not reveal anything on his face.

 

“You must be Young Master Gu, whose fame shook the entire Breeze Ancient City recently. Wang He greets you, Young Master Gu.” In the end, he decided not to answer Mu Yan’s question and took the initiative to greet Gu Changge with a slight bow instead.

 

Gu Changge nonchalantly swept his gaze over the surrounding area with an almost imperceptible smile. Nodding lightly, he answered with a faint smile. “No need for formalities, Master Wang He. I’ve heard a lot about you from Yan’er, including your close relationship with her Father. It seems that you had planned to help Yan’er when she was trapped in Zhuo Wu’s hands, so please allow me to thank you on Yan’er’s behalf.”

 

Wang He’s expression froze slightly when he heard Gu Changge call Mu Yan “Yan’er”.

 

Even Mu Yan had not expected Gu Changge to suddenly call her in such an endearing manner. Therefore, she was taken aback for a moment. A faint blush quickly spread across her delicate face that resembled white porcelain. Then, she secretly rolled her eyes at him.

 

“There is no need to be so polite, Young Master Gu. Mu Yan’s Father and I went through life and death together. How can I do nothing when his flesh and blood was reduced to such dire straits?”

 

Needless to say, Wang He was not an ordinary person. He had cultivated great composure over the years, so he immediately recovered and waved his hand with a laugh. At this point, he could tell that Mu Yan had probably told Gu Changge everything related to him. The methods he employed to create a rift between them had not been effective whatsoever.

 

In the future, Mu Yan was bound to walk the Dao of Ruthless Destruction and become the Sovereign Empress who single-handedly annihilated the entire Divine Eternal Clan. It was truly a mystery as to why she could not overcome the simple test of love and temptation?

 

With those thoughts in mind, Wang He hastily changed his previous conceptions. It would not be good for him to show direct hostility toward Gu Changge.

 

“Master Wang He, you are so considerate toward Yan’er. I’m sure Yan’er’s Father must be quite proud that befriending you back then was not for nothing.” Gu Changge continued to smile faintly.

 

Wang He did not wish to say more on the topic of Mu Yan’s Father, lest he accidentally exposed himself by saying the wrong thing. Hence, he hastily changed the subject and mentioned the cave in front of them instead.

 

Unfortunately, Mu Yan persistently expressed her curiosity and confusion as to why he left the brocade bag in her hands previously.

 

In the end, he could only heave a sigh and explain, “My cultivation might not be particularly advanced, but I have some attainments in the field of divination and deduction. I unexpectedly received the legacy of an ancient Dao Realm expert from the Immortal Dao Civilisation while cultivating one day, and I naturally worked hard to decipher that person’s legacy. That was how I managed to deduce that one of the Divine Eternal Clan’s Divine Artifacts was in your possession.”

 

Wang He’s explanation surprised Mu Yan.

 

Compared to the Immortal Dao Civilisation, the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was naturally inferior in terms of methods for deduction and divination.

 

She knew that some Dao Realm experts with powerful techniques had the ability to see through the Heavenly Secrets to deduce the fate and future of others. They could predict their fortunes by studying the Heavenly Dao, allowing themselves to seek out fortune and avoid misfortune. Thanks to their abilities, they were practically invincible and unkillable.

 

“When I first met you, I didn’t know what gift to get you. At the time, I just happened to deduce that another Eternal Divine Artifact was inside the Azure Sky Realm that was going to emerge soon. So, I left the brocade bag to inform you…”

 

Wang He chuckled and continued his explanation. His statement was flawless. Even if Mu Yan did not believe him, she would not be able to detect any imperfections in his words.

 

“Master Wang He, is the Eternal Divine Artifact you mentioned referring to the Eternal Divine Furnace?”

 

As Gu Changge spoke, the Eternal Divine Furnace appeared in the palm of his hand. It was simple and natural, engraved with countless ancient patterns.

 

“The Eternal Divine Furnace? Why is that object… in your hands, Young Master Gu?”

 

Wang He was so stunned that the question involuntarily popped out of his mouth. It never occurred to him that the Eternal Divine Furnace would be in Gu Changge’s possession.

 

[Did Mu Yan tell him about that? What’s more, she even handed the Eternal Divine Furnace to him!?]

 

An inexplicable burst of bitter jealousy burst forth in his heart. The Sovereign Empress, whom he admired so greatly, would willingly go to such lengths for a man?

 

Thanks to the Scavenger Tome, Wang He often caught glimpses of the vague information regarding the Sovereign Empress whenever he was investigating the life record of others. Even in the life records of others, she had played the role of a protagonist who shone with a bright aura.

 

She was the most brilliant and talented woman ever to be born in the recent epochs of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation! There were no others like her!

 

At the same time, she was the most amazing person in history. She had walked the Dao of Ruthless Destruction, arrogantly looking down on both the past and the present. As powerful and invincible as the Divine Eternal Clan had been, they were eradicated by her regardless. Similarly, the Zhuo Clan had strategically yielded in the face of her absolute strength.

 

When she achieved Transcendence and took control of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, all respected and worshipped her.

 

Those Forces that held resentment toward her had sealed themselves away and no longer dared to send any of their people out into the world, which just showed how much they feared her.

 

Among these incidents, the most shocking one was undoubtedly an incident that had shaken both the past and the present.

 

The remnants of the Black Disaster that once brought endless disasters to the Boundless Expanse had attempted to make a comeback. A trace of its black mist had descended upon the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, seeking to invade and corrupt the countless Great Universes.

 

At a critical juncture, the Sovereign Empress had appeared and single-handedly suppressed the remnants of the Black Disaster. Standing tall, she had slaughtered many powerful enemies throughout history.

 

Although Wang He could only understand the Sovereign Empress by understanding life records related to her, that did not affect his admiration and respect for the Sovereign Empress.

 

[Perhaps the future Sovereign Empress will need to properly carve out her second life in order to be reborn from the ashes… For her, I’m sure everything right now must be an emotional obstacle that she will need to eliminate in the future.] Countless thoughts flashed through Wang He’s mind, then his thoughts finally came full circle.

 

“It seems that you recognise this object, Master Wang He. Yan’er entrusted it to me for safekeeping, so I am temporarily taking care of it.”

 

Gu Changge noticed the astonishment that appeared on Wang He’s face for a moment. After giving a perfunctory answer, he put the Eternal Divine Furnace away once more.

 

[Wang He does not seem to care much for the Eternal Divine Furnace. In that case, he must have other motives to deliberately lure Mu Yan to this place. If he is not aiming for the Eternal Divine Furnace, then he must be aiming for Mu Yan herself.] Gu Changge had deliberately used the endearing ‘Yan’er’ to address Mu Yan without much thought earlier. However, he had clearly sensed the violent fluctuations in Wang He’s emotions because of his statement.

 

[This guy is someone who seem to be gathering people with great Fortuity. I’m sure he has some sort of Unique Treasure in his possession that can detect the Fortuity or Fate of others. He might even be able to detect if they are Variables]

 

“So, that’s how it is. The Eternal Divine Furnace is the Divine Eternal Clan’s Divine Artifact. If they learn that the Eternal Divine Furnace is in Mu Yan’s possession, they will surely do everything in their means to obtain the treasure. But, since Young Master Gu is taking care of it instead, they will never dare to steal the treasure no matter how brave they are,” Wang He returned to normal and said with a smile.

 

“I’m afraid you’re wrong about that, Master Wang He. Not too long ago, I killed the current Divine Eternal Clan’s Divine Son because he tried to snatch the Eternal Divine Furnace from me. I’m sure the Divine Eternal Clan won’t just leave the matter at that.” Similarly, Gu Changge faintly smiled.

 

“What!?” Wang He was shocked once more when he heard those words, and the smile on his face had gone stiff. If he had not glanced at Mu Yan and saw that she seemed unfazed by the matter, he would have suspected that he had misheard.

 

[The current Divine Eternal Clan’s Divine Son is her Little Brother! Did she really allow Gu Changge to kill him? Moreover, did Gu Changge not consider the future consequences? How could he blatantly speak with such indifference?] For some reason, Wang He suddenly felt a chill running down his back at the thought and an ominous feeling bloomed in his heart.

 

On the other hand, Gu Changge ignored the changes in Wang He’s expression and casually observed the environment.

 

“I’m sure there’s another Eternal Divine Artifact sealed within this cave. But, the Arrays in the surroundings… They seem relatively cheap and commonplace in comparison. I don’t think they’ll have much effect. I wonder what you think about them, Master Wang He?” Gu Changge smiled lightly, and his tone remained unchanged.

 

The chill running down Wang He’s back grew stronger, so much so that his limbs went cold and numb. In fact, he was too afraid to even move. He did not know what Gu Changge meant. [Could it be that he had seen through the Killing Arrays here?]

 

“There certainly are some dangers here. The Arrays here were probably those left behind since ancient times. Some of them are incomplete. As long as we don’t touch them, there should not be any problems.”

 

Wang He forced himself to calm down. Frowning in thought, he pondered for some time before he answered.

 

He was ultimately in the Quasi-Dao Realm. Even if he was suppressed by the Azure Sky Realm, he could exert tremendous strength. Hence, he was very confident in his own strength as long as they were in the same cultivation realm. After all, there were few beings in the same cultivation realm who could threaten him.

 

“Oh! If that’s the case, then I’m relieved.”

 

Gu Changge smiled as usual at those words and took a few steps forward.

 

Murderous intent suddenly surged into the sky from not far away. It was followed by an Array that glowed and transformed into a vast galaxy.

 

Countless Universes swiftly blasted at him viciously. In response, he simply waved his hand casually to brush them away.

 

The Arrays immediately vanished without a sound. Like fog blown away by the wind, the Arrays had turned to dust in an instant.

 

Seeing that, Wang He’s complexion turned pale. His palms beneath his loose Dao Robes were covered in a layer of cold sweat.

 

“Oh, right! I nearly forgot… Isn’t it time for the person who caught my attention back in Breeze Ancient City to show themselves now?”

 

At this moment, Gu Changge, who had taken several steps forward and nearly reached the entrance of the cave, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned back to look at Wang He and brought up the question in a seemingly casual manner.
