Gu Changge did not choose overly coercive methods to force the various Forces to surrender. That was because his current ‘assets’ were lacking.

 

If these Forces chose to rise up in revolt, the subsequent consequences were bound to incur some losses. Unfortunately, the experts who would perish during the rebellion were the labourers that could be used to help him develop the land in the future. It was for that reason he chose the gentler method of slowly increasing the pressure to prevent any uprising.

 

Although the various Forces were dissatisfied and resistant toward his methods, the losses that could be incurred had basically been reduced to an extremely low degree. Besides, the fate of the Zhuo Clan, the Hun Clan, and the Gou Clan would serve as a warning for others. Gu Changge’s instructions for Hun Yuanjun to eliminate the Forces that chose to rebel also effectively created another deterrent to potential troublemakers.

 

In any case, the half-month period was considered Gu Changge’s greatest mercy and tolerance to the various Forces.

 

The message conveyed by the Zhuo Clan quickly caused a huge uproar in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation.

 

The Forces expressing dissatisfaction over Gu Changge’s offer were immediately erased from the world by Hun Yuanjun, the Hun Clan’s Founding Ancestor. Hun Yuanjun’s might was absolutely overpowering and domineering, and he fulfilled his duties without the slightest hint of mercy.

 

In just a few days, numerous Forces with long-standing heritage vanished from the world. Even though there were many beings comparable to Immortal Emperors among these Forces, their opponent was Hun Yuanjun – one of the most powerful beings in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. Annihilating them took no more effort than a snap of his fingers.

 

For a time, the news shook the entire Immortal Spirit Civilisation. The blood of countless Forces ran cold with fear. Feeling extremely frightened, they began to brainstorm various methods to huddle together for safety. Even the Forces with the protection of Dao Realm experts kept silent and became very cautious.

 

They were allowed to remain silent without giving a definite answer, but they would immediately be judged once they intended to join hands with the Wu Clan to stop Gu Changge.

 

As soon as they expressed any dissatisfaction or resistance, their fate was sealed. It went without saying that they would be eliminated.

 

As strong as the Divine Eternal Clan was, they were incomparably quiet at this moment. They had not even dared to make the slightest sound of protest after the Eternal Divine Sword was forcibly ‘borrowed’ by Gu Changge. From a certain aspect, their silence was enough to illustrate the issue.

 

Some of the more intelligent Forces could easily understand the situation at a glance. The Primary Hope Civilisation might be unparalleled in strength, but the situation at hand was beyond their reach at the moment.

 

Half a month would pass in the blink of an eye. By the time the Primary Hope Civilisation’s experts arrived, it would already be too late. That was why the best option at this moment was to submit to Gu Changge. After all, even the top Forces such as the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan had already chosen to serve Gu Changge.

 

Needless to say, the Wu Clan would not allow such a good opportunity to slip through their fingers. Despite the battle with the experts of the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan, they did not forget to dispatch their men throughout the lands to publicise the issue with great fanfare. They also fiercely encouraged the other Forces to join hands with them and quell the turmoil in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation.

 

Be that as it may, the Wu Clan themselves were forced to seclusion – to take shelter within their own territory during this period. It was only by gathering all their strength in one place that they could desperately fend off the attacks from the Hun Clan and the Zhuo Clan.

 

Naturally, the rest of the Forces were not fools. They would not risk annihilation to help the Wu Clan at this juncture.

 

During this period, the war outside the Wu Clan’s territory also drew close attention from the Forces from the Immortal Spirit Civilisation.

 

The Hun Clan and the Zhuo Clan had not dispatched all their experts to the battle. On the contrary, they had divided out part of their strength to integrate the Forces in the other Great Universes.

 

The Wu Clan also gained some breathing space thanks to the actions of the Hun Clan and the Zhuo Clan. If the Hun Clan and the Zhuo Clan had attacked with their full might, it would have been tough for the Wu Clan to maintain their resistance even if they were secluded in their territory where they had numerous advantages, including various Arrays that had been prepared in advance.

 

As might be expected, the Hun Clan and the Zhuo Clan were also required to dispatch their Clansmen to guard their territory at this time, lest the other Forces secretly join hands and attack them from the rear.

 

Towards the end of the war, many of the Wu Clan Elders were forced to step forward and work together to repel the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan.

 

As such, the surrounding universes of the Wu Clan were completely in ruins. In addition, countless cultivators and living creatures fell out of the sky like falling raindrops. The stench of blood permeated the air, and the scene was unbelievably tragic.

 

Gu Changge did not participate in this matter. After he returned to Breeze Ancient City, he began mulling over something else. Most of the affairs in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation had been resolved by now. Everything else could just be left to Zhuo Fengxie and Hun Yuanjun.

 

As for how the resources and benefits in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation would be divided and distributed, such matters were not Gu Changge’s concern.

 

The Spirit Ruin Royal Family would soon come. So, he planned to let them hash out the details concerning matters involving the resources and benefits of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation amongst the Forces under him.

 

A large part of the reason why he integrated and unified the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was to expand his ‘assets’ and create the foundation for the Heavenslayers Alliance he had recently established.

 

Besides, he planned to nurture and support Mu Yan to become the new Master of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation.

 

Mu Yan carried the Fortuity of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation in her. With the support of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, she would surely achieve great deeds in the future.

 

His current priority was to nurture the ‘assets’ and ‘loyal subordinates’ that belonged only to him. At present, Mu Yan and Mo Tong could be considered the main targets that he wanted to nurture.

 

After all, the cultivation of the White Bone Ancestor King and Zhuo Fengxie had already reached close to their limit. Even if he could bring himself to bestow them with the Indomitable Matter and the Evolution Matter, those items would not guarantee that they would get a lot stronger and continue to be useful to him in the future or that they would always remain loyal to him.

 

He only managed to make them submit to him because his strength overwhelmed theirs. Nevertheless, any being who could reach the Dao Realm and even survive multiple Decay Tribulations should never be underestimated.

 

The truth was that Gu Changge could directly control their life and death even now. However, White Bone Ancestor King and Zhuo Fengxie would not put so much effort into carrying out his orders if he were to constantly threaten them with their lives.

 

Needless to say, having them still save him a lot of trouble. They were, in a way, no different from the True Daoist Puppets he had refined in the past.

 

It was just that refining Dao Realm Puppets would require an enormous amount of time and energy.

 

Furthermore, the concept of a True Daoist Puppet and a Dao Realm Puppet was completely different. A single thought from an Immortal Emperor could annihilate countless True Daoists and destroy several universes. On the other hand, it would only take a single thought from someone in the Dao Realm to kill an Immortal Emperor.

 

Gu Changge was already ‘overworked’ just from condensing Indomitable Matter and Evolution Matter. How could he spare the time and energy to refine the conquered Dao Realm experts into Puppets?

 

In contrast, his current methods were mild but was not that hard to do for his ‘overworked’ self.

 

Naturally, he was also paying attention to another matter. If he could gather the necessary materials and accumulate enough heritage, then it would not be a bad idea for him to refine a Civilisation Supreme Treasure that could control Dao Realm experts.

 

The Immortal Selection List that he previously refined in the Prosperous Dao True World was similar to what he wanted. It was an Artifact with the function to control True Daoists. It was just that this time, he wanted to control Dao Realm experts.

 

…

 

The world was dark in the territory where the Wu Clan was located. Furthermore, boundless mist that originated from nowhere shrouded the entire universe and world.

 

“Attack!”

 

A mighty army navigated across the universe like a Dragon, charging toward the Wu Clan’s territory with overwhelming numbers. On the other hand, the countless living creatures that were densely packed together within the universes and the worlds rushed forward fearlessly like a swarm of locusts.

 

Blood and corpses were scattered everywhere in the world. Some of the shattered Star Territories were also covered with wreckage and broken weapons.

 

The experts raised by the Wu Clan had extremely strong vitality. Some of them had the appearance of Demons while others resembled ancient War Beasts. However, every one of them had bloodshot eyes filled with madness. They rushed forward fearlessly only to quickly fall to the ground like weeds getting cut down.

 

Although the battlefield was a scene of tragic carnage, there were few members of the Wu Clan in the vicinity. All of them were watching from afar, hidden within war fortresses and ancient battleships. They were trying to delay the advance of the enemy to buy as much time as possible.

 

In the deepest part of the Wu Clan, the mist was incomparably dense. The environment was also extremely dark, so much so that it was impossible to see their outstretched hands in front of them. It seemed as though the environment had remained unchanged for eternity, and no sunlight would ever reach these depths.

 

Many of the Wu Clan Elders were monitoring the intense battle outside with solemn expressions.

 

A large ancient Array glowed above their heads, containing vast and unfathomable majesty that formed a curtain of light shrouding the Wu Clan’s lands. It was just that the surroundings were too dark, so the mist that covered everything in all directions caused the light curtain to become blurry and difficult to see through.

 

That Array was something the Wu Clan had had since ancient times, which could defend against the attacks of Dao Realm experts. Be that as it may, they had activated the Array to resist the joint offensive of the Hun Clan and the Zhuo Clan.

 

Battles between Dao Realm experts were already taking place in another area of darkness. The power they unleashed shocked the world. Bright flashes of light would burst forth occasionally, but all that could be seen was blood splashing out.

 

“The Primary Hope Civilisation’s envoy has not arrived yet. Can we really last until then…”

 

“The Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan must have gone insane! Why are they working so hard for that guy!?”

 

The Wu Clan Elders looked very gloomy. They were worried that the lands of the Wu Clan would be conquered by the Hun Clan and the Zhuo Clan before the envoy of the Primary Hope Civilisation could arrive.

 

“We are already trying to contact the Founding Ancestor. He is acquainted with the envoy…”

 

“If the Founding Ancestor awakens, then we might be able to delay the enemies for a while longer. But the Founding Ancestor has not shown himself for several dozen epochs.”

 

Whispering among themselves, they anxiously watched the tragic battle in the distance. Their concern could not be concealed.

 

At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly pierced through the darkness at the end of the Wu Clan. If one were to look carefully, they would discover that the light belonged to an opened eye that overflowed with bitter cold indifference.

 

The eye stood out in the darkness, looking very creepy.

 

Contrary to expectations, the members of the Wu Clan became emotional and excited at the sight of the eye.

 

The Elders, who were filled with worry earlier, felt their anxiety vanishing in an instant. They exclaimed in excitement, “This is the Founding Ancestor’s aura! Moreover, his aura is even stronger than before…”

 

“The Founding Ancestor has always been here! He has never left the Clan!”

 

It was only natural for them to be so emotional. After all, the Wu Clan’s ability to pass down their legacy and gain a stable footing in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was entirely thanks to their Founding Ancestor.

 

The Wu Clan and the Hun Clan were very different from each other. Unlike the other Clans that had established roots in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation since the beginning, the Hun Clan came from the outside world, where there were other branches with a main lineage.

 

Meanwhile, the Wu Clan of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was created by the Founding Ancestor whose strength was unfathomable. It was originally thought that the Founding Ancestor had left the Immortal Spirit Civilisation a long time ago to search for a more profound Great Dao in the vast Spacetime of the outside world.

 

Who could have known that he had been in slumber in the deepest depths of the Wu Clan without ever leaving?

 

“Time flies. Several billion years have passed in the blink of an eye. Even so, I never expected the day would come when the Wu Clan faces such a huge catastrophe. It would seem that the world has forgotten about me.”

 

At the end of the darkness within the Wu Clan, the creature that slowly opened its eyes was coldly talking to itself. His voice immediately spread to every corner of the world, resounding across the bloody battlefield and shocking the entire world. It was a cruel yet fascinating voice, which revealed his endless majesty.

 

On the other hand, the piercing gaze seemed to have insight into the past, present, and future. Those eyes could perceive the rotation of the Great Dao where numerous worlds were overturned and eternity was reduced to ashes. It was an unimaginably terrifying scene. At the same time, the development that was currently unfolding within the cruel gaze was absolutely breathtaking.

 

Any living creature or cultivator that came into contact with the gaze could not help quaking in terror. Moreover, they were filled with the irrational urge to prostrate themselves in that direction.

 

Meanwhile, the Clan members of the Wu Clan prostrated themselves with great reverence and fanaticism.
