Chu Bai did not dare to keep secrets from the two figures in front of him. A hazy ball of light simultaneously appeared as he brought out the Sun Shooting Bow. The quaint and ancient body of the bow glowed with a faint light, floating in the air with an extremely mysterious aura.

 

“The Sun Shooting Bow contains Innate Fortuity. Its origin is related to the River of Destiny, as well as the future destiny of the Beast Race… It seems that the Beast Race was destined to suffer this disaster. The bow is lethal to them. If they learn about its existence, they will surely do everything within their power to destroy it.

 

“This bow even might be related to the Fusang Tree that the Beast Race once possessed. As objects naturally formed by Heaven, they are both extremely rare Artifacts.”

 

The Dharma Sage studied the Sun Shooting Bow with a deep frown. After a lengthy deduction, he finally reached a conclusion. The origins of the Sun Shooting Bow shocked him greatly.

 

Chu Gucheng and the Heavenly Divine General were similarly taken aback by the revelation. It was clear that they had not been expecting such an extraordinary opportunity, much less that it was related to the River of Destiny and the fate of the Beast Race.

 

The Dharma Sage glanced at Chu Bai again and continued in a deep voice, “If I am not mistaken, the bow has the ability to completely sever the Beast Race’s destiny. Since you obtained the bow, that would mean the future destiny of the Beast Race might be extinguished at your hands. The Heavenly Principles are cyclical. It seems that the general trend has already been formed without our knowledge.”

 

The existence of the Sun Shooting Bow would inevitably be known to the Beast Race. If they learned that the bow had the ability to completely sever the Beast Race’s destiny, they would surely be even more frantic to destroy it.

 

Chu Bai’s expression turned solemn. It had never occurred to him that the origin and power of the Sun Shooting Bow would be so amazing and terrifying at the same time.

 

“This object is very important. You must keep it carefully. Although the Beast Court is powerful, they will not be able to harm you in a short period of time. You only need to remain quietly in the Land of Celestial Suffering, and the Beast Court will be powerless to touch you.”

 

Chu Gucheng clasped his hands behind his back and nodded slightly. His words were directed at Chu Bai.

 

Although he was shocked by the origins of the Sun Shooting Bow, he could not help feeling delighted at the same time. Since the object belonged to Chu Bai, that could only mean Chu Bai would enjoy great achievements in the future. In other words, the heritage of the Land of Celestial Suffering would increase even more.

 

While speaking, he raised his palm and swept his hand over the bow. A ray of light that resembled green smoke immediately landed on the surface of the Sun Shooting Bow.

 

“I’ve left a mark on the bow. Simply activate the mark I placed if you ever find yourself in danger. I don’t think anybody will dare to seize the bow from you.” He added. His tone was calm but carried a domineering aura that made others tremble.

 

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Having received a guarantee of safety, Chu Bai felt extremely at ease. An expression of joy immediately appeared on his face. After all, the worrisome burden hanging over his heart had finally been assuaged.

 

He understood that the Sun Shooting Bow carried a completely different meaning to the Beast Race and that the Beast Race would definitely attempt to destroy the bow. Therefore, it was impossible for him to leave the Land of Celestial Suffering during this period. That was why he decided to search for a place to cultivate in seclusion and strive to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor as soon as possible.

 

Afterwards, the Heavenly Divine General left with Chu Bai.

 

Chu Gucheng watched their departing backs with a slight frown. The look in his eyes was deep.

 

“If this bow was left behind by a person, then the mark I placed on the bow will automatically sense the other party’s energy fluctuations. However, I hope my speculations are wrong. I hope nobody is behind the current turmoil.”

 

The war between the Beast Court and the Land of Celestial Suffering was bound to continue for a very long time, ranging from several hundred years to several million years or longer. Moreover, the estimated duration of the war did not take into account the uncertainty of the future situation.

 

At present, the Land of Celestial Suffering was only maintaining a passive resistance. There had not been a large number of troops dispatched against the enemy yet. After all, the Beast Court was not supported by the other Forces of the Endless Beasts Territory. It was only natural for their strength to be inferior to the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

Be that as it may, it was equally impossible for the Land of Celestial Suffering to destroy the Beast Court. For one, the other Forces in the Endless Beasts Territory would never agree to the annihilation of the Beast Court. For another, the Beast Court boasted a deep heritage. Their own people were not only intricately intertwined but also spread across many universes and Spacetime. Hence, the feat of destroying the Beast Court would probably require an even longer time to complete. It might even take millions or billions of years.

 

The various Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation were paying close attention to the war. Although the situation seemed chaotic, the general trend remained relatively clear. They did not believe that the Beast Court would stubbornly drag out the battle with the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

In the most likely scenario, the Beast Court would withdraw their troops once they finished venting their anger. After all, a drawn-out battle was not a good thing for both the Beast Court and the Land of Celestial Suffering. Such a situation would only allow the other Forces to benefit from the sides.

 

Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and the war persisted.

 

Every single day, countless Beast Court troops would charge into the battlefield and attack the Land of Celestial Suffering. The surging Unending Karma that resembled crimson smoke was turbulent and overwhelming, constantly spreading out from the places where the two Forces clashed in battle. Moreover, the surrounding universes and great worlds were practically in pieces. There was no longer any vitality in them.

 

…

 

In the Imperial Celestial Academy located on the Azure Falling Peak of the Tai Yuan Ancient Territory. Gu Changge, who had not taken a single step out of the Imperial Celestial Academy recently, slowly opened his eyes.

 

“It seems that I have to go there in person to settle this matter…” A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

 

The Imperial Celestial Academy Headmaster had been faithfully following his instructions to gather information, but there was no further development over the past several months. Even an Immortal Emperor had failed to obtain any information. At this point, there was clearly a deeply hidden and unknown secret behind the scenes.

 

Be that as it may, there was another matter that Gu Changge had to settle before he could visit the Imperial Celestial Palace in person. The intensity of the war between the Beast Court and the Land of Celestial Suffering had been way below his expectations, so he decided to add more fuel to the fire.

 

Moreover, Luo Xiangjun had arrived over the past month and took an Artifact from him.

 

With the help of this Artifact, she began to show confidence in her ability to unlock the Eternal Ruins. That was why she did not linger around for long. She did not even bother to show any concern for Gu Changge. Both her arrival and departure were as light as the touch of butterfly wings.

 

According to her personal estimation, she would need a few more years before she could unlock the Eternal Ruins. She had deliberately consumed Treasured Pills to save on travel time when she came here. Unfortunately, it would require time for her to travel back there again.

 

Needless to say, Gu Changge was in no hurry. A few additional years would not make a difference to him.

 

The Land of Celestial Suffering had been blessed with long years of good Fortuity, and its karmic consequences were bound to a single person. However, Gu Changge already had a plan in place to counter these factors from the beginning.

 

Chu Gucheng might be smart, but he was steadily moving forward according to Gu Changge’s plan. Not to mention, he left behind something that could be considered a fatal flaw.

 

As the saying went, ‘A moment’s negligence could lead to great disaster.’ The Land of Celestial Suffering might seem as solid as a rock at the moment, but an avalanche of consequences would inevitably burst forth as soon as that fatal flaw collapsed.

 

Gu Changge closed his eyes slightly and perceived the whereabouts of the Sun Shooting Bow. At the same time, an odd aura emerged from the mark that Chu Gucheng left behind. An almost imperceptible Karmic Thread slowly condensed from the void and transformed into a man who highly resembled Chu Gucheng but seemed much younger. Moreover, there was a domineering look in his eyes that could not be hidden.

 

“Oh, that’s a descendant of yours.” Gu Changge opened his eyes. Having confirmed the direction where the Karmic Thread was pointing, he curved his lips into a meaningful smile.
