“If nothing unexpected happens, Chu Gucheng will head to the Champion General Mansion to express his condolences Chu Heng is still going against the armies of the Beast Court and Purple Sky Mountain at the front line. He can’t come back and look into his Wife’s death. Chu Gucheng expects that Chu Heng would send a trusted aide to the capital, so he told a guard to stop him…”

 

The Spirit of Eternity, who had turned into Uncle Fu, reported everything he had seen to Gu Changge.

 

Gu Changge shook his head with a smile. “Chu Gucheng is more ruthless than I expected. Anyway, he’s fallen right into my trap. Come up with a way to leak the news to Chu Bai. He used to work for Chu Heng and he’s resentful of Chu Gucheng. He’ll know what to do at this point.”

 

He spoke to the Artifact Spirit of the Scavenger Tome.

 

Chu Bai’s Sun Shooting Bow was made by Gu Changge using Indomitable Matter and Evolution Matter he had extracted from the River of Destiny.

 

At that time, he told the Artifact Spirit of the Scavenger Tome to leave a bit of her aura in the Sun Shooting Bow and pretend to be its Artifact Spirit.

 

It was because of the Sun Shooting Bow that the war between the Beast Court and the Land of Celestial Suffering started.

 

“I understand.” The Artifact Spirit of the Scavenger Tome nodded. Her blurred figure was floating in the void like a wisp of smoke.

 

During this period, she had seen how capable Gu Changge was. He could make the Land of Celestial Suffering fall into such a difficult situation without using any violence.

 

If the Civilisation she used to work for had to face an enemy like Gu Changge, it would end up in the same state as the Land of Celestial Suffering. An enemy like him was truly terrifying.

 

“Don’t worry. I’ll fulfil my promise to you after this matter is over. I won’t go back on my word.” Gu Changge put on a faint smile, knowing what the Artifact Spirit of the Scavenger Tome was worried about.

 

Although he had never inquired about the background of the Artifact Spirit of the Scavenger Tome, he knew that she had always wanted to break free from the Scavenger Tome. She was eager to get to the enemy who had sealed her within the Scavenger Tome and get her revenge.

 

Even though Gu Changge could help her break free and rebuild her body, he had no intention of doing so for now. That was because the Artifact Spirit of the Scavenger Tome in her current state was more useful to him.

 

After the Artifact Spirit of the Scavenger Tome became useless to him, he would help her break free. He would not go back on his word.

 

“I believe you, of course.” The Artifact Spirit of the Scavenger Tome nodded. She knew that she did not have any choice other than to believe Gu Changge.

 

Although things were developing according to Gu Changge’s plan, it was not that easy to make the majestic Land of Celestial Suffering fall apart just like this. Even though the armies of the Beast Court and Purple Sky Mountain were inching closer, they were not dealing a lot of damage to the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

So far, only the Heavenly Divine General died. The other Divine Generals had fled from the front line after becoming injured. The other Dao Realm experts snuck into Spacetimes after being defeated. It was hard for the enemies to retain them.

 

Dao Realm experts were the key factor in determining the outcome of the war. The others below that Realm were merely cannon fodder, to put it bluntly.

 

Immortal Kings and Quasi-Immortal Emperors were just bigger cannon fodder. Only Immortal Emperors and Dao Realm experts were the most important forces in this war.

 

Although the Beast Court had the Heavenly Beast Soul Devouring Array given by Gu Changge, they needed to sacrifice a lot of Beasts to make the Array work.

 

The Beasts sacrificed in the war were merely cannon fodder to deplete the other party’s power. They could not influence the overall war.

 

In the beginning, the Beast Court could catch the Land of Celestial Suffering off guard with the help of the Heavenly Beast Soul Devouring Array because not many Dao Realm experts had participated in the war.

 

When there was a large number of Dao Realm experts, they could shatter the Heavenly Beast Soul Devouring Array with their absolute power.

 

One had to acknowledge that the strength of the Land of Celestial Suffering must not be underestimated.

 

They had more Dao Realm experts than the number of Immortal Forces there were in the Boundless Expanse.

 

Therefore, even though Purple Sky Mountain had also taken part in the war, they could not deal a lot of damage to the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

Naturally, there were other reasons as well. The other Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation were watching the war with eagerness. There was no way Purple Sky Mountain and the Beast Court would go all out at this point. They still needed people to protect their own land.

 

Moreover, the Land of Celestial Suffering was trying to collaborate with other Forces to besiege Purple Sky Mountain, believing that the latter had joined forces with the remnants of the Black Disaster.

 

Gu Changge had some doubts regarding this matter.

 

Given Zi Wanhe’s capabilities, how did he acquire the copy of the World Burying Coffin’s copy?

 

Furthermore, flesh and blood contaminated by Dark Concentrate was sealed within the coffin.

 

Although the others could not see through it, Gu Changge was able to do so.

 

The black fog that had swept across the Land of Celestial Suffering came from the flesh and blood contaminated by the Dark Concentrate. That said, it was not real Dark Concentrate.

 

The difference between the two was like the difference between the black coffin and the real World Burying Coffin.

 

Gu Changge speculated that, during this epoch, some Forces had been trying to reconstruct the Dark Concentrate and rebuild the Heaven’s Proxy Group.

 

Certainly, it was possible that it was the remnants of the Black Disaster’s doing. The Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain, Zi Wanhe, might have come into contact with them.

 

Although the remnants of the Black Disaster originated from the Heaven’s Proxy Group, they had little to do with Gu Changge. He had never intended to leave behind such an organisation.

 

According to his plan, the Heaven’s Proxy Group was supposed to be completely destroyed a long time ago. As time passed, it should’ve been buried in the River of Time.

 

But now, the remnants of the Black Disaster were still hiding in different Civilisations, ready to make a move whenever there was a chance.

 

This came as a surprise to Gu Changge.

 

He was the Master of the Heaven’s Proxy Group. After he was destroyed and sealed, the Heaven’s Proxy Group should’ve fallen apart following the attacks from people of different Civilisations.

 

At that time, he had no intention of keeping the Heaven’s Proxy Group as one of his cards. That was because the reason he even founded the organisation was for it to be destroyed in the end.

 

It could even be said that the moment the Heaven’s Proxy Group was formed, it was bound to be annihilated one day.

 

After the matter regarding the Land of Celestial Suffering was over, Gu Changge found it necessary to investigate the remnants of the Black Disaster. Perhaps, he could use their power.

 

“I’ll pass this Great Pill of Reincarnation and Creation to you. You’re clever, so I’m sure you know what to do. The Primary Hope Saintess had allowed you to stay in the Primary Hope Holy Church in the past for my sake. If you approach her now, it won’t arouse any suspicion.”

 

Meanwhile, in the depths of the capital of the Land of Celestial Suffering, Chu Gucheng and Chu Xinyue seemed to be devising a plan.

 

As he spoke, he took out the Great Pill of Reincarnation and Creation from the pouch. The Pill was pretty big as a beautiful glow radiated from all its holes. This was a Pill that allowed one to turn into any living being in the world.

 

“Don’t worry, Father. I know what to do. I’ve asked Senior Xing Ying about the amazing uses of this Pill. I promise I won’t make any mistakes,” Chu Xinyue said after a nod. With a solemn expression, she took the Great Pill of Reincarnation and Creation and carefully kept it.

 

Chu Gucheng nodded with gratification. “You should keep this matter a top secret. No one else should find out about it. In just three days, the Land of Celestial Suffering’s situation will completely change. By then, we’ll rule over the entire Primary Hope Civilisation.”

 

“I understand.” Chu Xinyue solemnly dipped her head, knowing the importance of this matter.

 

Suddenly thinking of something, she asked hesitantly, “Father, about what happened in the Champion General Mansion. Did Eldest Brother…”

 

She was astounded when she learned of the news, wondering which person had the guts to commit such a crime. After giving it some thought, she formed a terrible association, considering what had happened in the depths of the palace.

 

Chu Gucheng’s smile disappeared when he heard that. He rubbed the centre of his brows while suffering a headache. A moment later, he said, “You’d better not look into this matter. You have to trust Wushang. He’s always been calm and collected. He’ll never do anything that will put us in a difficult situation.”

 

Upon hearing that, Chu Xinyue realised what her Father actually meant. She nodded seriously. “I understand. I’ve always trusted Eldest Brother. Regardless of what he does, he must have his reasons.”

 

Chu Gucheng smiled with gratification.

 

“I’ll take my leave, then.”

 

Chu Xinyue soon left the place. However, deep within, she was not as calm as she appeared to be. She was surprised that Chu Wushang, who had always been so calm, had committed such a crime. She could not figure out why it even happened.

 

While feeling puzzled, she recalled following Chu Wushang around when she was a kid.

 

At that time, Qing Lan and Chu Wushang were very close. It could be said that they were childhood sweethearts. Many believed that they would get together in the future.

 

Unfortunately for Chu Wushang, fate pulled a trick on him. What happened next surprised everyone.

 

It seemed that after such a long time, Chu Wushang still had not left the past behind.

 

Outside the palace, the Young Palace Master of the Unfettered Heavenly Palace, Ouyang Ji, was waiting for Chu Xinyue along with his people.

 

When he saw how worried Chu Xinyue was, he approached her and asked caringly, “What happened, Xinyue?”

 

Chu Xinyue took a look at him and shook her head before replying calmly, “Nothing. I was just thinking about something.”

 

Ouyang Ji had gotten used to how dispassionate she was. He said with a smile, “I’m glad that you’re fine. After we had a talk last night, I contacted my Father in the Rising Dawn Civilisation and informed him of the situation in the Land of Celestial Suffering. My Father is incensed as well and has sent several powerful Elders to the Land of Celestial Suffering to help. Even an Ancestor in the Ancestral Dao Realm has set off. They’ll arrive in the Land of Celestial Suffering soon.”

 

An Ancestral Dao Realm expert was an important figure of any Sect. Such a person would not easily leave their Sect.

 

Be it in the Supreme True World or the Boundless Expanse, Ancestral Dao Realm experts had unrivalled powers and status. Dao Realm experts were not comparable to them at all.

 

The Unfettered Heavenly Palace had sent an Ancestral Dao Realm expert to help. It showed that they took this matter seriously.

 

Upon hearing that, Chu Xinyue was elated and moved. “Thank you. With the help of the Unfettered Heavenly Palace, we’ll surely get through this crisis. I’m sure no one will object to it when my Father lets us get married by then.”

 

Ouyang Ji smiled. “Since we’re so close, you don’t have to thank me.”

 

Although the Unfettered Heavenly Palace was not the strongest Force in the Rising Dawn Civilisation, it should not be underestimated.

 

At the peak of their power, they were comparable to any Immortal Force.

 

Honestly, an average woman would’ve fallen in love with Ouyang Ji for his sincerity, but that was not the case for Chu Xinyue.

 

Although she appeared moved, she still felt that Ouyang Ji was too wimpy. He became besotted with her and was willing to do anything for her in a short time. He was unable to take on bigger responsibilities.

 

If Ouyang Ji were more capable, she would’ve considered marrying him. However, she knew that she would abandon him after she achieved her goals.

 

Many thoughts turned over in Chu Xinyue’s mind. A moment later, she asked with a smile, “I’m going to visit the Primary Hope Saintess to ask her about the Heavenslayers Alliance. Do you want to come with me?”

 

“The Primary Hope Saintess?” Ouyang Ji was startled. Suddenly thinking of something, he shook his head. “I’m not going with you, Xinyue. I’ve heard that the Primary Hope Saintess has a bad-temper. She had turned down everyone who went to visit her during this period. I don’t want to embarrass myself.”

 

Chu Xinyue smiled nonchalantly.

 

It was indeed difficult to deal with the Primary Hope Saintess. It was also hard for Chu Gucheng to see the Primary Hope Saintess.

 

Anyway, when Chu Xinyue was a kid back then, the Primary Hope Saintess allowed her to stay in the Primary Hope Holy Church for some time upon Chu Gucheng’s request. For this reason, she felt that the Primary Hope Saintess would not refuse to see her.

 

After parting ways with Ouyang Ji, Chu Xinyue headed straight to the place where the Primary Hope Saintess stayed.

 

While on her way, she consumed the Great Pill of Reincarnation and Creation. A layer of snow seemed to have engulfed her Soul.

 

She could feel a distinctive aura heaving as she breathed. It was as though she could imitate anyone’s movements, behaviour, and aura with only a flash of thought.

 

She finally knew how it felt to be able to shapeshift as described by Old Lady Xing Ying.

 

This astounded her. The idea of being able to turn into anyone with a flash of thought was inconceivable.

 

It did not only include a change in her appearance. She could also imitate intangible things such as the other party’s aura, thoughts, and fate.

 

In other words, she could perfectly replace anyone and live their life.

 

Certainly, the Great Pill of Reincarnation and Creation had some limits. She could only imitate the other party’s aura, but she couldn’t be as powerful as the original person. If she got into a battle, she might expose herself.

 

That said, she was not worried about it. After all, she was going to imitate the Primary Hope Saintess. Who would dare to make a move against her?

 

In the courtyard, Gu Changge was holding a glowing jade tablet. Ouyang Ji’s respectful voice was heard coming from it.

 

“Young Master Gu, Chu Gucheng and Chu Xinyue are trying to deal with the Primary Hope Saintess in secret. Although I have no idea what they’re going to do, Chu Xinyue seems confident in achieving her goal. Once the Primary Hope Saintess falls into their hands, the situation in Primary Hope Civilisation will change drastically. Currently, Chu Xinyue is going to visit the Primary Hope Saintess.”

 

“They want to go against the Primary Hope Saintess?” Gu Changge rubbed the jade tablet between his fingers meditatively.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess had the Mirror of Reincarnation which could be used to make deductions and avoid misfortune. There was no way she could not predict that she would be in danger.

 

Nevertheless, even Gu Changge couldn’t ensure that he could always get things done perfectly. It was only natural for the Primary Hope Saintess to be negligent at times.

 

“In that case, I’d like to know what move Chu Gucheng has come up with.” Gu Changge smiled and kept the jade tablet. Then, he rose to his feet and headed to the Primary Hope Saintess’ place.

 

He had no intention of leaving the Land of Celestial Suffering during this period. Also, as Chu Gucheng’s people were searching around for the culprit when Chu Wushang was the one who had committed the crime. Guests were not allowed to leave for the time being.
