Chu Gucheng had personally trained those Divine Generals. He regarded them to be his trusted aides.

 

The Heavenly Divine General was the strongest among the Divine Generals. There was no doubt he was one of the most powerful in the Land of Celestial Suffering. It was inconceivable that he was killed just like that.

 

“The Heavenly Divine General was killed by the Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain. The army he leads is too strong. Although the Divine Generals had tried to help, they were still not a match for him. Other than that, a hidden Force is interfering in the war. Some powerful cultivators are secretly influencing the war.”

 

The general who had come to report about the latest news from the front line was fearful and pale. His voice was shaky.

 

“Zi Wanhe! I’ll destroy you!” Chu Gucheng said through clenched teeth with a livid expression as his murderous intent surged. He had never hated anyone else with such intensity.

 

All the guests were shocked by the news. No one could have expected that the Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain was so ruthless. He was determined to destroy the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

His Dharma Body had sent a coffin to this place to humiliate Chu Gucheng. At the same time, he led an army to slaughter the enemies at the front line. He seemed determined to bury the Land of Celestial Suffering in the River of Time.

 

Despite his fury, Chu Gucheng quickly calmed himself down and called out, “Where’s the Champion General?”

 

“Yes, Your Majesty.” A towering man who was clad in golden armour which made him look like an Immortal stepped out from a crowd of ministers and generals. He was full of vitality. Just by standing there, he looked like a sturdy cauldron. His muscles were bulging and he was surrounded by the Chaotic Light. Anyone would be terrified of him.

 

There seemed to be an illusory figure of the world around him. It was like he was the overlord of a world. The guests were astounded, knowing that this person was another Fortuitous One. The might of the Land of Celestial Suffering truly could not be underestimated.

 

Other than the Divine Generals who had been famous for a long time, the other generals were powerful and exceptional too.

 

Over the years, many Fortuitous Ones had been nurtured in the Land of Celestial Suffering. If these people successfully grew, each of them could become the master of any territory in the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

The aura exuding from the Champion General showed that he was more powerful than many of the strongest guests here. Even an average Ancestral Dao Realm expert would not be a match for him.

 

Since he was named the ‘Champion General,’ he was naturally powerful. After all, only someone who had accumulated the most military contributions could earn that title.

 

The expressions of the ministers and generals changed as they knew how powerful this man in golden armour was. In the past, Chu Gucheng would never easily send the Champion General to the battlefield.

 

One had to know that the Champion General was unlike the Divine Generals. His power was shown in the way he managed the soldiers on the battlefield. The Champion General had made countless contributions when expanding the Land of Celestial Suffering’s territories. Wherever he went, all enemies would be subdued.

 

“You’ll take the Dragon Seal and the Tiger Seal and head to the border. You have to destroy all the invaders.” Chu Gucheng ordered with an icy expression.

 

Two rays of light that looked like a Dragon and a Tiger flashed across his palm. A Dragon’s cry and a Tiger’s roar were heard before the seals landed on the Champion General’s palm.

 

[His Majesty is truly incensed. He’s even passed the Dragon Seal and the Tiger Seal to the Champion General.]

 

The ministers and generals were astonished, knowing that when the two seals were used, only either party would live in the end.

 

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The Champion General hurriedly left with the Dragon Seal and the Tiger Seal.

 

The other generals and ministers led an army to the place where the black coffin had fallen in an attempt to seal it. If they did not seal the black fog and let it spread, it would have a huge impact on the Land of Celestial Suffering’s territories. Moreover, the black coffin was a copy of the World Burying Coffin’s copy. No one knew what was sealed inside the coffin nor did they dare to open it.

 

The birthday banquet could no longer go on. After such a major incident happened, Chu Gucheng and the ministers were not in the mood for any celebration.

 

The Princes and Princesses like Chu Xinyue glowered at Gu Changge.

 

When the incident happened, they paid close attention to Gu Changge. The way he watched the good show with glee greatly offended them. Moreover, they suspected that this matter had something to do with Gu Changge.

 

Before this, many cultivators and Forces believed that the Heavenslayers Alliance had something to do with the remnants of the Black Disaster. Now that Zi Wanhe had sent a black coffin to this place and a horrifying black fog exuded from it, it was apparent that this matter had something to do with the remnants of the Black Disaster.

 

It was also likely that Gu Changge was the mastermind behind all of this.

 

Although Chu Gucheng had this suspicion, he did not have evidence to prove there was an association between Gu Changge and Purple Sky Mountain.

 

Whether there was a connection between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the remnants of the Black Disaster, he was not in any position to make a conclusion.

 

“All of you have seen what’s happened. As one of the mightiest Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation, Purple Sky Mountain has chosen to work with the remnants of the Black Disaster to make the world descend into chaos. Now, they’ve even collaborated with the Beast Court to deal with the Land of Celestial Suffering. Please consider joining forces with me to destroy the remnants of the Black Disaster and restore peace to the world. We’ll rebuild the order in Primary Hope Civilisation and ensure stability.”

 

At the thought of this, Chu Gucheng swept a glance over all the guests before shifting his attention to the Primary Hope Saintess, hoping that she would make her stance clear.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess knew that this matter was important. If Purple Sky Mountain indeed collaborated with the remnants of the Black Disaster, a drastic change would happen in Primary Hope Civilisation. By then, no Forces could steer clear of this matter and stay safe.

 

At this point, she could not turn a blind eye to what was going on like what she did to upcoming calamity the Land of Celestial Suffering faced.

 

After a nod, she said calmly, “If this matter has something to do with the remnants of the Black Disaster, the consequences will be severe. Ever since the Primary Hope Holy Church was established, we’ve been responsible for eliminating the remnants of the Black Disaster. My Master has said that before the Black Disaster is annihilated, there’ll be no peace in the world. If Purple Sky Mountain has really collaborated with the remnants of the Black Disaster, we’ll take the initiative to unite all Forces. We’ll join forces to besiege Purple Sky Mountain to restore peace to the world.”

 

She did not directly say she would help the Land of Celestial Suffering. She only said that if Purple Sky Mountain had indeed collaborated with the remnants of the Black Disaster, she would make a move against the former.

 

The guests were not fools, so they understood her underlying meanings. She still was not willing to have a hand in the grudges between the Land of Celestial Suffering and Purple Sky Mountain.

 

Gu Changge was surprised by the Primary Hope Saintess’ stance.

 

He initially thought that the Primary Hope Saintess would blindly stick to the doctrine she had learned from a young age, just like Jiang Chuchu. But at this point, she had made the wisest choice instead of lending a hand to the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

[It seems that she has learned from her mistakes through the Mirror of Reincarnation.] Gu Changge put on a meaningful smile.

 

When they were in the Primary Hope Saintess’ pavilion, he had warned her. That was because he had to consider the fact that the Mirror of Reincarnation was in the Primary Hope Saintess’ hands.

 

Now, it seemed that Chu Gucheng had also set his eyes on the Mirror of Reincarnation.

 

Naturally, Chu Gucheng understood the Primary Hope Saintess’ meaning. He donned a dark expression and said with an icy expression, “Everyone can see that Purple Sky Mountain has collaborated with the remnants of the Black Disaster. Are you still trying to defend them?”

 

Just then, Elder Jin, who was a respectable figure from the Rising Dawn Civilisation, said, “The black fog is spreading in all directions. Wherever it goes, all living beings and plants will die. This was something the remnants of the Black Disaster had used back then. I can be considered a friend of Senior Xi Nu. If she were still in the Primary Hope Holy Church, she would not allow Purple Sky Mountain to join forces with the remnants of the Black Disaster and arrogantly oppress others. I hope you’ll take the big picture into consideration at this point, Saintess.”

 

He was an Ancient Being. Even the old monsters from different parts of the Boundless Expanse had to show him some respect.

 

When Chu Gucheng was hunted down by Zi Wanhe back then, he was the one who stopped Zi Wanhe and saved Chu Gucheng’s life.

 

He had spoken in a way like a Senior giving some advice to a Junior. Although he seemed to be persuading the Primary Hope Saintess, he intended to make her understand she should be more tactful. After all, he had also brought up the Primary Hope Saintess’ Master, Xi Nu, who was the Great Sage who had built the Primary Hope Holy Church.

 

Behind the veil, the Primary Hope Saintess’ expression did not change, but her hands in her loose sleeves balled into fists.

 

Elder Jin was trying to suppress her using her Master.

 

However, once she interfered in the affairs of the Land of Celestial Suffering, the simulated future she had experienced in the Mirror of Reincarnation would truly happen. By then, not only the Land of Celestial Suffering would be affected, but the entire Primary Hope Civilisation would be impacted by the calamity.

 

“I’ll look into whether Purple Sky Mountain has indeed collaborated with the remnants of the Black Disaster. I’ve been dealing with the remnants of the Black Disaster for years, so I can tell whether the other party is one. You don’t have to worry about this matter, Elder Jin.” The Primary Hope Saintess said icily.

 

They could not easily make a judgement whether Purple Sky Mountain had worked with the remnants of the Black Disaster. Moreover, the Primary Hope Saintess felt that those from Purple Sky Mountain did not have the guts to be associated with the remnants of the Black Disaster in front of so many guests.

 

More importantly, she had other considerations.

 

Elder Jin did not expect the Primary Hope Saintess to turn him down in front of so many people. He had known this woman since she was a young girl, but she did not show him any respect now.

 

He donned a gloomy expression and his voice was tinged with fury. “Alright, I’ll see how you’re going to deal with this calamity, Saintess. the Land of Celestial Suffering is blessed with Fortuity, and King Chu has the Human Emperor Sigil. He’s destined to deal with the upcoming calamity. Only he can resolve the Primary Hope Civilisation’s crisis this time.”

 

“I travelled across a long distance from the Rising Dawn Civilisation to give you advise, but you repeatedly turned down King Chu and ignored the big picture. If your Master were still in the Primary Hope Holy Church, she would be infuriated.”

 

When the guests heard that, they were surprised that the Primary Hope Saintess had repeatedly turned down Chu Gucheng.

 

Some guests had heard that Chu Gucheng had visited the Primary Hope Saintess on several occasions, but he did not get to see her because the Primary Hope Saintess had been in seclusion. It seemed that the truth was more complicated than that.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess furrowed her brows, not expecting Elder Jin to bring up this matter and try to make her yield by telling her to look at the big picture.

 

There was no doubt Elder Jin was a respectable figure, but he should not force her to do anything using his seniority.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess was displeased deep within, but she remained calm and collected as she said, “Since my Master isn’t in the Primary Hope Holy Church, I have my judgements as to what decisions to make. The Mirror of Reincarnation is the Supreme Treasure of the Primary Hope Holy Church. Unless the Primary Hope Holy Church faces a calamity, it will never be taken away. It’s not that I refuse to lend the Mirror of Reincarnation to King Chu. It’s just that it’s a rule of the Primary Hope Holy Church that none have the right to break.”

 

The guests were shocked to hear that Chu Gucheng was trying to borrow the Mirror of Reincarnation. They turned to look at Chu Gucheng, who remained unperturbed.

 

The Mirror of Reincarnation was the Supreme Treasure of the Primary Hope Holy Church and it was closely related to the Fortuity of Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

What was Chu Gucheng trying to achieve by borrowing the Mirror of Reincarnation? Did he truly want to rule over the Primary Hope Civilisation by using the Supreme Treasure?

 

At that moment, many of their expressions changed, including the people from Forces like the Imperial Celestial Palace, Bright Light Temple, and the Tathagata Buddha Realm.

 

The Primary Hope Holy Church had never interfered in the conflicts between the Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation. They had always been neutral.

 

That was mainly because the Mirror of Reincarnation was in the Primary Hope Holy Church.

 

The Mirror of Reincarnation could be used to look at the past and predict the future. It could also be used to experience simulations of the future. There were many abstruse uses. It was also because of the Mirror of Reincarnation’s presence that the Primary Hope Holy Church had the status and power to influence the developments in the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

If Chu Gucheng took the Mirror of Reincarnation, no one knew if he would even return it to the Primary Hope Holy Church. It was also worth considering what he would do with it.

 

Furthermore, anyone could see how ambitious and aggressive Chu Gucheng was.

 

“Chu Gucheng is pretty ambitious. We can tell that from this birthday banquet. Not only has he invited many Forces from different Civilisations, but he also intends to replace the Primary Hope Holy Church.”

 

“Fortunately, the Primary Hope Saintess did not agree to his request. Otherwise, the situation would’ve been different.”

 

Many guests squinted their eyes. People like True Buddha Ku Ji from the Tathagata Buddha Realm looked meaningfully at Chu Gucheng. They were not fools. They would naturally not allow the Land of Celestial Suffering use them as weapons.

 

The Land of Celestial Suffering already had strength. If Chu Gucheng took control of a Civilisation Supreme Treasure, all the Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation would have to yield to them.

 

Naturally, Chu Gucheng knew the fact that he intended to borrow the Mirror of Reincarnation from the Primary Hope Saintess would cause many people to be furious and vigilant. He did not have a valid reason to do such a thing. As such, he decided to change the topic.

 

He turned to look at Gu Changge, who had been enjoying his wine as though it all had nothing to do with him. “Let’s put the matter of Purple Sky Mountain collaborating with the remnants of the Black Disaster aside. Saintess, I’d like to know what you think of the Heavenslayers Alliance.”

 

The Primary Hope Saintess scowled upon hearing that. She had asked some people to look into the Heavenslayers Alliance. However, other than its offensive name, she could not find any similarities between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the remnants of the Black Disaster.

 

The only suspicious point was that when she made deductions on the Heavenslayers Alliance, the truths would be hidden from her eyes.

 

In the Boundless Expanse, countless stars would be born or die every day. There was also an incalculable number of Forces that were established every day. The Heavenslayers Alliance was just one of them. It would be ridiculous to claim that the Heavenslayers Alliance was related to the remnants of the Black Disaster when there was no evidence.

 

When the Primary Hope Saintess was simulating the future using the Mirror of Reincarnation back then, she almost thought that the Heavenslayers Alliance was built by the remnants of the Black Disaster.

 

As the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader, Gu Changge was closely related to the remnants of the Black Disaster. It was for this reason that the Land of Celestial Suffering would be destroyed and the Primary Hope Civilisation would descend into chaos.

 

However, as she made more deductions using the Mirror of Reincarnation, she discovered that the Heavenslayers Alliance did things differently from the remnants of the Black Disaster. It was more like a religion which aimed to save lives and help people get through their hardships.

 

It was for this reason that she became curious about the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader and wanted to find out more about him, which led to the following complications.

 

The Land of Celestial Suffering was destroyed because it got in the way of the Heavenslayers Alliance’s developments. It was also for this reason that she decided to watch the show from the sidelines and let the affairs in the Land of Celestial Suffering develop as per its fate.

 

“Although I don’t fully understand the Heavenslayers Alliance, I personally believe that they have nothing to do with the remnants of the Black Disaster.” She calmly said.

 

Upon hearing that, all the guests were rooted to the spot, not expecting the Primary Hope Saintess to say such a thing.

 

Back then, the Land of Celestial Suffering spread the news that the Immortal Spirit Civilisation had been occupied and turned into one of the bases by the remnants of the Black Disaster. Therefore, the existence of the Heavenslayers Alliance caused a commotion in Primary Hope Civilisation. Many Forces feared that the remnants of the Black Disaster would make a comeback.

 

Nevertheless, the Primary Hope Saintess refuted the claim in front of so many people.

 

Chu Gucheng donned a gloomy expression, not expecting the Primary Hope Saintess to directly say that the Heavenslayers Alliance had nothing to do with the remnants of the Black Disaster.
