For the Ancestors of the various Clans in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, the words ‘slay Heaven’ were considered taboo. It was only natural for anybody to tremble in fear when hearing those words. Besides, what Gu Changge mentioned earlier seemed even more terrifying to them than a simple taboo.

 

“Establish the Heavenslayers Alliance… Erase the Heavenly Dao and restore peace to the world…”

 

The Leader of the Divine Eternal Clan, Li Motian, exchanged glances with several other Elders. The expressions on their faces were extremely solemn because they did not know whether Gu Changge’s words were true or false, much less the reasons for his intentions.

 

Nevertheless, they could tell from the current situation that the incident today was bound to create huge waves in the world. After all, speaking about such matters would mean having to bear the endless consequences. Any ordinary person would need to proceed cautiously, yet Gu Changge was acting as though he was merely talking about a small and trivial matter.

 

On another note, Li Motian had a strange and niggling feeling in his heart. Was Gu Changge really planning to erase the Heavenly Dao and restore peace to the world just as he said? Was there really no other motive?

 

“Why does his speech remind me of the terrifying and crazy remnants of the Black Disaster…”

 

All of a sudden, Li Motian seemed to realise something, and his expression changed immediately. The thought that came to him seemed to frighten him. He glanced at the man in white standing on the platform, who looked as warm and gentle as a piece of jade, and then the terrifying gaze that he saw outside the Azure Sky Realm abruptly came to mind.

 

Those eyes were infinitely more ruthless and frigid than the Great Dao. To this day, Li Motian could not help feeling scared and spooked whenever he recalled the scene. That frigid gaze seemed to be Gu Changge’s true appearance. In comparison, his saintly and compassionate appearance seemed more like an illusion instead.

 

At this moment, Gu Changge seemed to notice Li Motian’s gaze and turned to look in Li Motian’s direction with a slight smile on his face.

 

Li Motian felt a chill running down his spine at the sight, and the feeling of a sword pressing against his back engulfed him once more. Cold sweat poured from his forehead. He hastily lowered his head and looked away, not daring to meet Gu Changge’s eye.

 

At this point, he no longer dared to speculate further in regard to these matters anymore.

 

There was no shortage of intelligent people, and that was especially true for the ancient monsters that had lived for a very long time. Although Gu Changge’s words rang true, the words “slay Heaven” seemed particularly incredible and unbelievable to their ears.

 

Did Gu Changge attack the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, the Wu Clan, and the Gou Clan just for the sake of establishing the Heavenslayers Alliance and erasing the Heavenly Dao from existence? Was that also the reason why he unified the Immortal Spirit Civilisation?

 

These reasons sounded rather contradictory for some reason. Nevertheless, there was indeed nothing wrong with them from the perspective of righteousness. What were the Wu Clan, the Gou Clan, and even the Immortal Spirit Civilisation compared to something as ‘exalted’ as ‘slay Heaven’?

 

The Heavenslayers Conference did not last very long.

 

Although the various Forces had yet to recover from their shock, they had no other choice at this point. In the end, they could only muster their courage and reluctantly join the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

The Heavenslayers Alliance might incur boundless disasters and endless consequences, but it was still better than rebelling against Gu Changge and being eliminated from the Immortal Spirit Civilisation because of his retaliation.

 

Gu Changge had spoken with great righteousness when he was standing on the platform earlier, seemingly sincere in his intention to open a new path for future generations. However, nobody had forgotten about the Wu Clan that was nearly annihilated recently or the Dharma Body of the Primary Hope Civilisation’s envoy whom he crushed to death with one strike.

 

After the Heavenslayers Conference, the experts of the various Forces returned to their respective territories. Everything that happened today was swiftly spread throughout the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. Fortunately, the subsequent commotion that took place remained within Gu Changge’s expectations.

 

At this point, the Immortal Spirit Civilisation’s Heavenslayers Alliance had slowly begun to take shape.

 

During this period, Gu Changge instructed the Spirit Empress and the others to spread the information regarding the Great Purge and the intention to slay Heaven throughout the land to inform the ignorant about the so-called ‘truth’. As for the noble purpose of the Heavenslayers Alliance, he also instructed them to publicise the information everywhere.

 

It had to be said that these methods were extremely effective.

 

After the Heavenslayers Conference ended, the various Forces were concerned that they would soon receive divine punishment and suffer boundless consequences. Hence, they could not help feeling uneasy about the situation.

 

Contrary to their expectations, the Immortal Spirit Civilisation remained unexpectedly calm during the following period. The horrible consequences did not come as they had imagined. It was only natural for them to become more relaxed as a result, and they finally began to consider Gu Changge’s words more seriously.

 

Meanwhile, Clans like the Hun Clan, the Zhuo Clan, and the Divine Eternal Clan were also discussing and arguing over the same matter.

 

Regardless of Gu Changge’s intentions at the time, the existence of the Heavenslayers Alliance was undoubtedly another sprout of hope for the Forces that did not receive the protection of a Supreme Civilisation. That was especially true for Wan Yanxiu and the other Elders of the Spirit Ruin True World, who were in an exuberant mood.

 

They could be said to have personally experienced the cruelty and horror of the Great Purge. Even though they were nothing more than weak cultivators who had yet to achieve the Dao Realm during the last Great Purge, they had indeed witnessed those beings whose cultivation far exceeded their own be penetrated by blood-coloured chains.

 

At the end of the sky, there seemed to be a Millstone grinding away. With each rumble, mountains and rivers collapsed while universes cracked into pieces. Innumerable people got obliterated. Even further in the distance was a blood-coloured sickle dancing in the air. Countless living creatures died with each swing, like weeds getting cleared away.

 

Under such circumstances, one’s strength no longer mattered. The countless experts were no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered, without even having the qualifications to fight back whatsoever. It was a time overflowing with despair and sorrow…

 

Even though Wan Yanxiu had since become a Dao Realm expert, the scenes that he witnessed at the time had been burned into his memories as lingering nightmares.

 

After experiencing a Great Purge, there would be a long period of peace. Unfortunately, the peaceful period was pointless. That was because the next Great Purge would definitely strike again. It was simply a matter of time.

 

“There’s no saying when the next Great Purge will come. Every time we experience a Great Purge, the period of peace that follows will become longer. In the beginning, I rejoiced at the thought that we would have more time to prepare ourselves against the next Great Purge. But I later realised that those thoughts were ridiculous. There is an increase in vitality after each Great Purge, but that vitality is only so that we can grow even stronger to be better ‘weeds’ to be harvested.”

 

In the current land of the Spirit Ruin Royal Family, Wan Yanxiu gathered his Clansmen and told them about everything that happened in the past with a sorrowful and painful expression on his face. He could be said to be the oldest member of the Spirit Ruin Royal Family at the moment. In fact, he even witnessed the previous Great Purge with his own eyes.

 

Although the Spirit Ruin Royal Family was not an indigenous Clan in the Spirit Ruin True World, they were definitely one of the most ancient Clan in the Spirit Ruin True World.

 

Many of the Spirit Ruin Royal Family Elders were shocked by Wan Yanxiu’s story. Some of them only had a vague understanding of the Great Purge, so they did not truly comprehend the horror of the Great Purge until now.

 

Based on Wan Yanxiu’s story, the Great Purge was far more terrifying than they initially imagined. It was the scariest catastrophe in the world, and nobody would be spared from the horror.

 

The Spirit Ruin True World had already experienced multiple Great Purges. Otherwise, it would not have had the qualifications to be called an Ancient True World.

 

Even Wan Yanxiu himself could hardly remember how many epochs had passed since the last Great Purge. What he knew for certain was that the strongest individual in the Spirit Ruin True World during the last Great Purge had not only been in the Second Decay but also on the cusp of the Third Decay. Even so, that individual did not have the slightest chance of resistance during the Great Purge. A blood-red chain had shot out from a distant and unknown land, pierced through his body, and then dragged him away with a clattering sound. He had been missing since then.

 

That sight left an almost indelible impression of terror on Wan Yanxiu.

 

As for when the next Great Purge would strike, Wan Yanxiu did not know. It was impossible for him to predict. After all, even the Immortal True Worlds could hardly predict when the next Great Purge would come.

 

There were times when the Great Purge would come after several thousand epochs had passed, but there were also times when the Great Purge did not come even after millions of epochs or longer had already passed. For such a difficult-to-determine matter, how could the weak True Worlds be expected to prepare countermeasures in advance?

 

Besides, the Great Purges could be divided into Minor Great Purge, Major Great Purge, and Everlasting Great Purge. The degree of impact for each type of Great Purge was vastly different. These irregular and inconsistent phenomena were completely dependent on the strength of the True World and its ranking in the Boundless Expanse.

 

In layman’s terms, if the condition of the True World was good, then the harvest would be larger. Conversely, if the condition of the True World was bad, then the harvest would not only be delayed for a few more years but be smaller too.

 

As part of the younger generation, the Spirit Empress could not help feeling shocked even though she was already in the Dao Realm.

 

She had indeed known about the Great Purge. After all, the Spirit Ruin True World had been almost completely destroyed in a Great Purge. It was only natural that the inheritance of history had not been severed either. There were records and ancient books that had been passed down with time. Hence, she had obtained some measure of understanding from reading those ancient books.

 

“If the existence of the Heavenslayers Alliance really succeeds at erasing the Heavenly Dao and restoring peace to the world as the Young Master claims, then the incident will surely be recorded in the history of the Boundless Expanse as a supreme feat.” She murmured with sincere admiration.

 

“You’re right. It’s just that we don’t know what terrifying trouble such actions will cause. If the Heavenslayers Alliance is established, then its existence will surely overturn the entire balance in the Boundless Expanse. I’m worried that the Immortal True Worlds and Supreme Civilisations will join forces to take down the Heavenslayers Alliance. After all, establishing the Heavenslayers Alliance is equivalent to shaking the foundation of their rule over the Boundless Expanse.”

 

Wan Yanxiu shook his head. Although he admired Gu Changge’s courage and heroism, he was worried that Gu Changge’s actions would lead to unimaginable trouble. He was afraid that everything would eventually fall apart halfway through, and all their efforts would be in vain. In fact, he already had the premonition that this incident would cause boundless waves throughout the Boundless Expanse.

 

“If we follow the Young Master and accomplish great achievements, so what if we perish in the process? The Heavenly Dao is cruel. You can’t blame us for being merciless.”

 

The cold yet sonorous voice of the Spirit Empress interrupted Wan Yanxiu’s thoughts, and Wan Yanxiu nearly burst into laughter. Ever since the Spirit Empress started serving under Gu Changge, her mental attitude had undergone many subtle changes. If it were in the past, she would never have dared to speak such words so lightly.
