The matter regarding the Heavenslayers Alliance caused a huge uproar throughout the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. Not only were various Forces discussing the matter, but the ordinary people were also discussing about it.

 

The concept of the Great Purge was far beyond their comprehension, so they did not understand the meaning behind those words. Be that as it may, their lack of comprehension did not prevent them from understanding that the Heavenslayers Alliance was a righteous alliance.

 

The Heavenslayers Alliance aimed to pave a road for future generations and establish peace in the world for eternity. How noble was that?

 

Even existences such as Zhuo Fengxie and Hun Yuanjun had come forward to demonstrate miracles at various cultivation grounds and expound upon the purpose of the Heavenslayers Alliance with lectures.

 

Similarly, many other Dao Realm experts also came forward and made their appearances at various places. Seemingly influenced by the purpose of the Heavenslayers Alliance, they began to spread their teachings and perform rituals to bestow blessings on the universes and galaxies.

 

On the other hand, the blood of numerous young cultivators burned with great passion and spirit. They were extremely eager to join the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Unfortunately, the Heavenslayers Alliance had only just been established. Only Forces protected by Dao Realm experts were eligible to join the Heavenslayers Alliance at this point. If the rest wanted to join, they had to pass through multiple layers of strict assessments and selections.

 

Such a strict threshold left many feeling regretful, but they were not discouraged. With the goal of becoming a member of the Heavenslayers Alliance, they cultivated diligently and strived hard to pass these assessments.

 

At the same time, a new trend began in which becoming a member of the Heavenslayers Alliance was considered a great honour. This thinking had began to emerge among many universes and galaxies.

 

Countless young cultivators had heard that they might meet with the leader of the Heavenslayers Alliance, the extremely mysterious Young Master Gu, if they performed well in the assessments and selections. The rumour aroused even greater excitement and passion among the younger generation, especially since they had always admired the strong.

 

Even Major Clans like the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan currently served under Young Master Gu dare not disobey his orders. Furthermore, the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor had been annihilated by him alone. These factors resulted in the birth of immense respect and fanatism among countless young cultivators.

 

“Only Forces with the protection of Dao Realm experts are eligible to join the Heavenslayers Alliance? Haha… I don’t think any of the Forces in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation are voluntarily joining.” At this moment, somewhere in a magnificent ancient city located inside the territory originally belonging to the Wu Clan in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, a young man sat by the window of the pavilion. He was listening to the conversation between cultivators passing through the street below with a disdainful sneer on his face.

 

“What did you say?”

 

“Is the Heavenslayers Alliance something a person like you can spread rumours about at will?”

 

However, the young man’s words were clearly heard by several young cultivators sitting nearby. They turned to look at him with unfriendly expressions.

 

The young man immediately looked slightly embarrassed and hurriedly bowed in apology to appease their anger. Only then did they turn away with a cold snort.

 

Afterwards, the young man did not hang around longer and quickly left the pavilion. It was not until he was far away that he cursed silently with a hideous expression.

 

“How can the youths of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation be so gullible? Do they really think that the Heavenslayers Alliance is a good thing?”

 

The young man was none other than Chu Lian, who initially arrived in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation with Gu Changge.

 

The Wu Clan’s territory having effectively been transferred to the Spirit Ruin Royal Family now, he had rushed here with the intention to return to his original world. It was just that he had heard many rumours about the Heavenslayers Alliance and Gu Changge during his journey, which made him unhappy and upset for some reason.

 

<The Heavenslayers Alliance… Young Master Gu is truly admirable to have such courage.> The Sphere of Ambition’s Artifact Spirit secretly shook its head at the sight of Chu Lian’s current appearance.

 

On the contrary to its Master, the surrounding scenes aroused a sense of admiration towards Gu Changge in the Artifact Spirit. The reason could be traced to a distant memory. The Civilisation that originally forged the Sphere of Ambition had eventually collapsed and vanished from history because of the Land of Truth. Hence, an ordinary person would not have the tremendous courage to establish the Heavenslayers Alliance. Not even the Supreme Civilisations would dare to attempt such an endeavour.

 

In the beginning, the Artifact Spirit assumed that Gu Changge was the heir or Successor of a Supreme Civilisation, someone with an extraordinary background who had come here for training. However, it had since changed its mind. [Could it be that the aura that sent a chill down my back in Ancestral Land of the Ghost Axe Clan had come from Gu Changge?]

 

Not to mention, everything that Chu Lian had done or showed after losing his status as a Variable had greatly disappointed the Artifact Spirit. Fortunately, it had already communicated with Chu Lian and came to an agreement after repeated persuasion. Having told him about the many unpredictable consequences of their current situation, it demanded that he gave up the Sphere of Ambition on his own initiative.

 

Chu Lian was naturally unwilling to comply at first, but he eventually showed signs of changing his mind after repeated persuasion from the Artifact Spirit.

 

The Sphere of Ambition had chosen Chu Lian as its Master, and this process was not something that the Sphere of Ambition’s Artifact Spirit could interfere with. For that reason, a very subtle connection was established between Chu Lian and the Sphere of Ambition. Unless Chu Lian voluntarily gave up the Sphere of Ambition, nobody could take the Sphere of Ambition away from him.

 

Needless to say, that did not mean that there was no other way to obtain the Sphere of Ambition. Certain powerful beings with evil intentions were perfectly capable of refining Chu Lian into something that resembled a mere Soul and attaching him to the Sphere of Ambition. As its Master, he would exist in name only. He would be unable to affect the Sphere of Ambition in any way.

 

That possibility was what the Sphere of Ambition had been warning Chu Lian about. Therefore, the best option for Chu Lian right now was to contact Gu Changge through the Spirit Empress. He could then take the opportunity to hand over the Sphere of Ambition and establish a good relationship with Gu Changge. In that way, he could ensure a comfortable lifestyle for the rest of his life.

 

Chu Lian was extremely resistant to the idea at first. It was very hard for him to accept, but he gradually came to terms with the suggestion after some time.

 

With his strength, it was impossible for him to protect the Sphere of Ambition. The only exception was if he had a powerful enough supporter that could serve as a deterrent to those with malicious intentions. However, despite being the strongest person in the Ghost Axe Clan, his Master was only in the Quasi-Dao Realm at most. What could his Master protect him with?

 

Alternatively, why should he expect Gu Changge to protect him? Or, how could he rely on Gu Changge’s power and influence to protect himself? These were not realistic options. Now that things had come to this point, he was forced to accept the truth.

 

…

 

When the Spirit Empress came to Gu Changge and informed the latter that Chu Lian was requesting a meeting, Gu Changge was considering how he should make a move against the Primary Hope Civilisation. Nevertheless, Chu Lian’s arrival made him put aside what he was doing for the time being.

 

He had been waiting for Chu Lian to come in person. Needless to say, he had already expected that Chu Lian would be extremely unwilling.

 

Chu Lian only came on his own initiative because he had no other choice. Since the Civilisation Supreme Treasure in his possession was cognizant, the Artifact Spirit would definitely attempt to avoid any danger and search for its own means of preservation. Although it might not be as cold and selfish as the ‘Artifact Spirit’ of the Scavenger Tome, it was bound to be more rational and aware.

 

It did not take long for Chu Lian to arrive in front of Gu Changge under the Spirit Empress’s guidance. He handed the Sphere of Ambition over to Gu Changge on the grounds that his treasure would arouse the envy of others.

 

The Sphere of Ambition was not very big. It was simply a hazy ball of light that emitted an extremely mysterious and ethereal aura. Numerous constellations could vaguely be seen inside the ball of light. Moreover, there were vague silhouettes of millions of figures chanting and praying in it.

 

Chu Lian could not hide the reluctance in his expression. Even so, he could only watch as Gu Changge took the Sphere of Ambition.

 

Gu Changge made a promise to Chu Lian, guaranteeing that the latter would be able to meet his relatives and Clan members again. At the same time, he also promised that the Ghost Axe Clan would be given a vast and fertile territory unaffected by the outside world.

 

With that thought in mind, Chu Lian could only comfort himself that there were gains and losses from his actions. Then, he followed behind the Spirit Empress and took his leave.

 

After learning Gu Changge’s identity and strength, he no longer dared to entertain thoughts with other intentions in his mind like before. He was worried that Gu Changge might notice his thoughts. As for his feelings of adoration for the Spirit Empress, he could only bury them deep in his heart. He did not dare to reveal his feelings again.

 

Naturally, he was not stupid either. He had already guessed the true identity of the Spirit Empress during this period.

 

“Don’t worry, Young Master never breaks his promises. The members of the Ghost Axe Clan and the Celestial Crafts Clan, who were previously recruited by the Spirit Ruin Royal Family are unharmed. They were only captured and imprisoned for the time being. You will be able to see them again when you return.” The Spirit Empress accompanied Chu Lian to the door of the palace and calmly stated.

 

As Chu Lian stared at the face that he once admired, he swallowed uncomfortably. It seemed as though he had something to say, but he eventually heaved a deep sigh and turned to leave.

 

Watching him walk away, she shook her head softly and went back inside. She had always known about his feelings for her. However, she had only approached him with the intention of stealing his treasure from him. She immediately stopped paying attention to Chu Lian once she informed Gu Changge about the matter. As the Empress of the Spirit Ruin Royal Family, how could an insignificant character like Chu Lian catch her attention if not for the Supreme Treasure?

 

Inside the palace, Gu Changge watched Chu Lian disappear into the distance before he finally retracted his gaze.

 

If Gu Changge had not interfered in the matter, there might have been some sort of romantic entanglement between the Spirit Empress and Chu Lian.

 

After all, Chu Lian would have cultivated diligently to avenge his people and overthrow the Spirit Ruin Royal Family if things had gone according to the standard plot. In addition to obtaining the Civilisation Supreme Treasure, he was expected to attain great achievements in the future.

 

On the other hand, the Spirit Empress would have suffered many disagreements with the Ancestors in her position as the Empress of the Spirit Ruin Royal Family. As the misunderstandings steadily grew deeper, conflict would inevitably break out between them one day.

 

Thanks to numerous overlapping coincidences, Chu Lian and the Spirit Empress were bound to cross paths with each other. It was just that these matters were not predetermined, especially since matters like destiny and the future had always been difficult to truly comprehend and grasp.

 

Meanwhile, the Artifact Spirit of the Sphere of Ambition contained within the misty light did not bother to conceal its existence. It immediately voiced its intentions, expressing willingness to acknowledge Gu Changge as its host.

 

The Artifact Spirit was actually astonished. When it first perceived the aura of another Civilisation Supreme Treasure earlier, it initially thought that it had perceived the situation wrongly. It was not until it perceived the aura once more that it finally became certain. There was at least one other Civilisation Supreme Treasure in Gu Changge’s possession.

 

The realisation shocked the Artifact Spirit of the Sphere of Ambition. [No wonder Gu Changge is so indifferent to me when he first sensed my existence…]

 

“A true Civilisation Supreme Treasure…” The figure inside the Scavenger Tome’s internal space had similarly sensed the aura of the Sphere of Ambition. Therefore, she was so shocked that her mind went blank at this moment.

 

Even among the Supreme Civilisations, a Civilisation Supreme Treasure was considered a Supreme Treasure that could control Fortuity. It was extremely rare and precious, far exceeding any Artifact in value.

 

Be that as it may, Gu Changge had easily obtained another Civilisation Supreme Treasure without much effort. [Just when did Civilisation Supreme Treasures become as common as the cabbages sold along the streets!?]
