“Senior Brother Gu is not like what you think he is, Older Sister.” Ling Yuxian had a telepathic connection with her Older Sister, Ling Yuling. When she realised what was on her Older Sister’s mind, she shook her head while feeling conflicted.

 

During this period, she saw how Ling Yuling had been trying to deal with the Heavenslayers Alliance. She wanted to stop her, but she didn’t know what to do.

 

Regardless of how she explained it to Ling Yuling, the latter didn’t believe her and felt that she was merely besotted with Gu Changge as she was in love with him.

 

The Primary Hope Covenant was a huge gamble that Ling Yuling had taken to make those from the Heavenslayers Alliance show their true colours.

 

If they refused to sign the Primary Hope Covenant, Ling Yuling could collaborate with the other Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation to deal with the Heavenslayers Alliance. Both parties might be badly hurt, and the Imperial Celestial Palace might even be destroyed in the end.

 

This was the outcome that Ling Yuling had expected, and she was willing to pay the price.

 

Naturally, there was another possibility. Those from the Heavenslayers Alliance might willingly sign the Primary Hope Covenant and live peacefully with the other Forces. They would not interfere in each other’s affairs.

 

Although it was the outcome Ling Yuling wanted, she knew that it was unlikely to happen.

 

However, in Ling Yuxian’s opinion, the second possibility was the most likely to happen. That was because she was aware of Gu Changge’s true intention. He wanted to walk down the path that was paved with thorns and mud and there might not even be a positive outcome in the end.

 

He was merely a passerby in the Primary Hope Civilisation. It could be said that the Primary Hope Civilisation was merely one of the stops on his way to his destination.

 

“I’m fine with signing the covenant. Lady Yuling, you’ve meticulously taken everything into consideration and cared for the interests of all living beings. It’s a shame that you refuse to join the Heavenslayers Alliance.” Gu Changge shook his head and smiled. Then, he approached the light screen hanging from the sky and waved his hand, after which a writing brush that was made from World Principles was formed.

 

“I’m truly honoured that you think highly of me, Young Master Gu. I’ll consider it if there’s a chance in the future,” Ling Yuling said with a smile while glancing at the writing brush in Gu Changge’s hand. She was still as graceful as ever.

 

She felt that Gu Changge was not joking. He seemed to have the intention of signing the Primary Hope Covenant and he did not have an ulterior motive.

 

It seemed that she had been overly cautious the entire time. She wondered if she had gotten Gu Changge wrong.

 

However, she also had some doubts about Gu Changge. The current Early Ancestor of the Jing Family, Jing Tianyuan, was no longer himself.

 

The Spirit of Eternity, which had been corroded by Aura of Darkness, might have occupied Jing Tianyuan’s body.

 

Even the corroded Spirit of Eternity regarded Gu Changge as its owner, so it was apparent that he had a powerful background.

 

When Ling Yuling was trapped in the dark space back then, it was Gu Changge who helped her break free and dispel the Aura of Darkness on her.

 

He had done her and the Imperial Celestial Palace a favour. She was supposed to be grateful, but that was not how she felt.

 

Anyway, when the Primary Hope Covenant was signed, it would show that Gu Changge had no ill intentions against the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

After that, the different Forces of the Primary Hope Civilisation could let down their guard.

 

[Things are not always black or white, and I shouldn’t judge a person without finding out more about them. I might have been overthinking it.] At the thought of this, Ling Yuling could not help but sigh. She was conflicted deep within while feeling guilty.

 

“In that case, I’ll wait for the day when you’ll start considering it.” Gu Changge smiled and held his sleeve with his other hand. Then, he was ready to sign on the light screen with the writing brush.

 

The light screen that extended into the sky already had the names of many Forces. As the Dao Energy emerged, Grand Runes intertwined with each other while exuding a horrifying aura.

 

Every second, stars died and universes fell apart. Images derived from Chaos emerged while carrying immense energy.

 

By leaving a name there, one would bear the Boundless Karma and the Power of Heaven and Earth. The consequences would be disastrous if one went back on his word. Even an Ancestral Dao Realm expert could not bear the consequences.

 

In the hall, beings from Forces such as Bright Light Temple, Tathagata Buddha Realm, Towering Divine Cave, and Imperial Celestial Palace stared fixedly at Gu Changge’s movements.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess never batted her eyes as she intently observed the changes in Gu Changge’s expression.

 

Elder Xian Yun of the Imperial Celestial Palace clenched her fists. She had exerted so much force that her knuckles turned pale. Her forehead was beaded with sweat and her legs trembled.

 

At that moment, all of them were focused on looking at Gu Changge, who was about to leave his name on the light screen, so no one noticed her.

 

Many people were surprised, not expecting the signing of the Primary Hope Covenant to go so smoothly. There was not any fight, not so much as a quarrel.

 

“Things shouldn’t be going so smoothly. What’s going on?” The leader of the Solar Heavenly Clan furrowed his brows and donned a gloomy expression. He could hardly conceal his shock.

 

Outside the hall, countless beings were looking at the sight with excitement. They were ready to witness this historic moment.

 

In the Mountain of Wonders, all of them looked at Gu Changge.

 

“We might have wrongly blamed the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader. Perhaps it’s because of his charisma that so many powerful cultivators willingly work for him.”

 

The leaders of those Forces were whispering among themselves. Admiration was written all over their faces.

 

They had gotten prepared for an epic battle before coming to this place. Much to their surprise, the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader easily agreed to leave his name.

 

Although the rules of the Primary Hope Covenant would put the Heavenslayers Alliance at a disadvantage, he still did not complain. They admired his bravery and magnanimity.

 

The people of the Heavenslayers Alliance did not seem surprised. It was as though they had expected this outcome. People like Chu Heng, Hun Yuanjun, Zhuo Fengxie, Di Kun, and the other Ancestral Dao Realm experts were calm.

 

At this point, Gu Changge had only written the first part of ‘Heavenslayers Alliance’ on the light screen. Before he could go on, a deafening sound was suddenly heard as though Heaven and Earth were coming apart.

 

A destructive force was felt coming from the Golden Book of Covenant in the depths of the universe. The ancient words brightened as though they had come alive. There seemed to be a figure seated in each ancient word.

 

The Golden Book of Covenant broke through Spacetime as billions of Divine Lights descended. The world seemed to have come apart, and the surrounding universe broke into pieces.

 

No power in the world could fend off the destructive force.

 

Even the Ancestral Dao Realm experts were flabbergasted as their souls were in turmoil. If they were struck by the force, they would lose their lives right there and then.

 

At the end of Heaven and Earth were massive Principles which intertwined with each other and absorbed the energy from the universe.

 

Then, the immense energy entered the Golden Book of Covenant, turning it into a sacred light, which passed through the light screen and entered the hall in the Mountain of Wonders.

 

Gu Changge was suddenly struck by the force.

 

With a boom, the repercussions spread and the entire Mountain of Wonders trembled. It was as though an earthquake had struck.

 

The divine trees quivered and the leaves rustled. Fissures were seen on the trunks. Many stars fell from the universe and crashed into the ground, breaking into pieces.

 

All of them were astonished by what was going on.

 

Ling Yuling, the Primary Hope Saintess, Dao Monarch Chang Ming, the deputy leader of Empty Boundary Ridge, Shang Chongming, and the other ancient beings were rooted to the spot, unable to make sense of what was happening.

 

They only saw an unimaginably destructive Divine Light descending from the universe and penetrating the Golden Book of Covenant before striking Gu Changge, who was signing the covenant. He soon disappeared.

 

The force was so tremendous that it could destroy everything in the world.

 

That area was filled with an inconceivably destructive aura. Everything had turned into nothingness. Not even a thing remained.

 

All these beings could see was whiteness. They could not see or hear anything.

 

Their five senses and divine senses were numbed by the white Divine Light.

 

The repercussions continued to spread. Although they were not directly impacted, blood still streamed from their orifices. Some were sent flying away.

 

“What’s going on?”

 

The leaders of various Forces still did not know what just happened. They turned to look at Ling Yuling in puzzlement.

 

The Master of Light from Bright Light Temple appeared wary. He was still reeling from the shock. If any Ancestral Dao Realm expert had been struck by the force, they would’ve lost his life.

 

“What’s going on?” Ling Yuling was equally shocked. She found everything inconceivable. Perplexed, she looked at the area which had been filled with the destructive aura. She had no idea what had just happened either.

 

Although she was the one who had taken out the Golden Book of Covenant, it did not have an owner and could be controlled by anyone.

 

She did not expect the Golden Book of Covenant to suddenly attack Gu Changge. What was more, it had such an unimaginably destructive power.

 

Who had secretly taken control of the Golden Book of Covenant that caused the turn of events?

 

“How dare you! The Alliance Leader has decided to sign the covenant and live peacefully with all of you. However, you’ve set up such a trap to harm him! Shameless! Despicable!”

 

Someone was suddenly heard growling. Following that, a murderous intent filled the sky. People like Ling Yuling and the Primary Hope Saintess came to their senses.

 

The people of the Heavenslayers Alliance, who were equally shocked just a moment ago, looked furious now. They inched closer to them, determined to get revenge for Gu Changge.
