“So, that’s your experience during this period.” In one of the halls in the Heavenslayers Alliance, smoke billowed from a furnace. Gu Changge lowered his gaze and casually asked the question while sipping tea.

 

Luo Xiangjun was clad in a golden dress. She was tall and slender. Her fair neck was as beautiful as that of a swan. She was graceful as her eyes radiated a golden glow. It was as though she was the daughter of the sun god.

 

She was seated across from Gu Changge with her hands on her knees, looking upright and composed. The beads of jewels hanging from her head looked like the branches of laurels.

 

Those who were not aware of her identity might think that she was a Princess of an Immortal Kingdom. Given how elegant she was, it was difficult to imagine that she was a ‘Robber’ in the Boundless Expanse.

 

“Everything I’ve said is true, Alliance Leader. I will never dare to lie to you.

 

“After getting the key from you, I immediately went to the universe where the Eternal Ruins were located. Much to my surprise, there were many terrifying Restrictions. That was why I was trapped there for thousands of years. I only broke free recently. The key alone couldn’t open up the Eternal Ruins. Only descendants of the Divine Eternal Clan could pass through those Restrictions. I believe that we have to look for a descendant of the Divine Eternal Clan to open up the Eternal Ruins.”

 

She nodded and narrated her experience of being trapped in the Spacetime cemetery.

 

She would not dare to reveal anything about the Eternal Prime God. He had left behind a Restriction in her Knowledge Sea, so he could kill her at any moment. She had returned this time to contact Mu Yan through Gu Changge. Then, she would look for the whereabouts of the Divine Eternal Clan through Mu Yan’s Bloodline.

 

At this moment, she was conflicted deep within. When she met Gu Changge in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation back then, he still had not subdued the Zhuo Clan, nor had he founded the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

In just thousands of years, things had gone through such a shocking transformation. Luo Xiangjun was surprised by everything that had happened.

 

While on her way to the Primary Hope Civilisation, she could hear all sorts of news about the Heavenslayers Alliance. Those who respected it were fervent, whereas those who loathed it were eager to get rid of it for good. Their reactions were extreme.

 

Also, she was astounded by everything those from the Heavenslayers Alliance had done these years and the incident regarding the Primary Hope Covenant.

 

A Supreme Civilisation had fallen into Gu Changge’s hands just like this. He was now the overlord of this Civilisation. This was truly inconceivable. If she had decided to stay by Gu Changge’s side instead of setting her eyes on the Eternal Ruins, she might’ve secured a spot in the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

“I see. I thought you passed away somewhere.” Gu Changge nodded and put down the teacup.

 

Luo Xiangjun was startled.

 

She thought Gu Changge would say he was worried she would run away with the treasures. It seemed that he had never been concerned. Anyway, he was indeed powerful and wise. She truly did not have the guts to do such a thing.

 

She was annoyed that he thought she had passed away somewhere, though.

 

“After I broke free, I immediately went to the Immortal Spirit Civilisation to look for the descendants of the Divine Eternal Clan. Much to my surprise, they had moved to a different location. They were no longer in their land.” Luo Xiangjun picked up her teacup and sipped the tea elegantly. She parted her lips and spoke.

 

“Forget it. No need to bother since they’re no longer there.” Gu Changge nodded. He had figured out Luo Xiangjun’s intention, but he no longer needed the treasures from the Eternal Ruins.

 

Also, Luo Xiangjun was no longer useful to him. Naturally, he would not waste time and energy to help her.

 

“If we want to open up the Eternal Ruins, we have to find…” Luo Xiangjun would like to continue with the topic to bring up her intention of coming to this place. However, she was startled upon hearing his words. When she realised what he meant, she was rooted to the spot.

 

“Alliance Leader, don’t you need the treasures of the Eternal Ruins anymore?” Luo Xiangjun jumped from the chair and clenched the teacup while her hand trembled.

 

She could not calm herself down as her emotions were undulating in her heart. She had made many preparations before coming to this place. Much to her surprise, Gu Changge did not seem to care at all. It seemed that he no longer needed the treasures of the Eternal Ruins.

 

That place had the Method to Transcendence that the Eternal Prime God had acquired.

 

Countless Great Sages were eager to get their hands on it. It was the reason the Boundless Expanse descended into turmoil in the past.

 

“No, I don’t need the treasures anymore.” Gu Changge shook his head and looked calmly at her. “Is there anything else?”

 

“Alliance Leader, that’s the Eternal Ruins…” Luo Xiangjun was anxious. She almost extended her hand to grab his sleeve.

 

If Gu Changge no longer cared about the Eternal Ruins, how was she supposed to contact Mu Yan and locate the descendants of the Divine Eternal Clan so that she could get rid of the Eternal Prime God?

 

“So what if it’s the Eternal Ruins? I’m no longer interested in it. If you had come to me earlier, I might’ve changing my mind but now.” Gu Changge shook his head.

 

When Luo Xiangjun saw that he directly turned her down and he was ready to leave, she was flabbergasted. No longer graceful, she hurriedly got in his way and said, “Please stay, Alliance Leader.”

 

Gu Changge arched his brow while looking at her. “Go ahead if you want to look for the Divine Eternal Clan. I won’t stop you, nor will I spread the news about the Eternal Ruins. Whatever benefits you get out of it, it has nothing to do with me.”

 

“That’s not the case.” Luo Xiangjun shook her head and stared fixedly at him. “Alliance Leader, I need you to do me a favour.”

 

She gritted her teeth and told him that she needed to see Mu Yan so that she could find the current location of the Divine Eternal Clan through her Bloodline.

 

“It seems that you’re not giving up on the treasures of the Eternal Ruins.” Gu Changge swept a glance over her and saw through her mind. He smiled faintly and said, “I can’t help you with that, for I can’t force Mu Yan to do anything against her Will. I’ll pass on your word to her. Regardless of whether she’ll agree to it, it has nothing to do with me.”

 

Luo Xiangjun was elated upon hearing that. A bright smile formed on her alluring face. “Many thanks, Alliance Leader. Lady Mu Yan is a kind-hearted person. I’m sure she won’t turn me down. I won’t let her do me a favour for free. I’ll give her a satisfactory reward. Regardless of what you need me to do, just tell me straight away. I’ll do everything I can to repay your favour.”

 

Upon finishing her words, she quickly left so that she would not hold up Gu Changge. She was cheerful when exiting the place.

 

“Mu Yan is not the kind-hearted person that you think she is though…” Gu Changge’s eyes radiated a strange glow as he watched Luo Xiangjun leave. He did not make her stay.

 

“Master, that woman radiates the aura of the Eight Legions. I suspect she’s from one of the Legions.” Old Man Sai Ya respectfully showed up in the hall after Luo Xiangjun was gone. His gaze was icy and his aura was intimidating.

 

The Old Daoist Priest had left the Primary Hope Civilisation to return to the Decay Legion. He went to look for the other Legions as per Gu Changge’s order.

 

On the other hand, Old Man Sai Ya stayed there to handle some affairs for Gu Changge.

 

In the past, Gu Changge would let White Bone Ancestor King, Hun Yuanjun, and the others handle the affairs. But now, he found Old Man Sai Ya, Jing Tianyuan, and Chu Heng to be more useful. After all, they were more powerful than ordinary Ancestral Dao Realm experts.

 

On the other hand, people like White Bone Ancestor King and Hun Yuanjun were still some distance away from the Ancestral Dao Realm.

 

“Oh? It seems that she has some secrets. Anyway, she’s just a ‘Robber’ who isn’t even in the Ancestral Dao Realm, but she has the guts to set her eyes on the Eternal Ruins. It’s no wonder she has invited trouble onto herself.” Gu Changge smiled faintly.

 

Although the aura was well-hidden, it stank terribly as it was ancient and rotten. Naturally, it could not be hidden from Gu Changge’s eyes.

 

“Master, do you want me to follow her?” Although Old Man Sai Ya was powerful, he could not detect the aura of Eternal Prime God. He did not understand what Gu Changge meant.

 

“There’s no need for that. She’s of no value to me. Moreover, she’ll come looking for me again. I’ll see if I can lure out some interesting old monsters at that time.” Gu Changge waved his hand. This matter was not of great importance to him.

 

Meanwhile, Luo Xiangjun had just returned to the inn. Before she could let out a breath of relief, a portal appeared from the storage space. The illusory figure of Eternal Prime God shot out from the divine jade and landed on the table.

 

“You’re clever enough not to expose my existence.” Eternal Prime God let out a sneer.

 

“I’ve almost completed the task. I hope you’ll keep your promise by then.” Luo Xiangjun looked icily at him. She did not conceal her disdain and indifference.

 

“Don’t worry. I’ll leave when I find the whereabouts of the Divine Eternal Clan. Without a physical body, I can’t hold on for long in this state,” Eternal Prime God said impassively.

 

A light flickered from Luo Xiangjun’s eyes. It was a wonder whether what he had said was true. Perhaps he wanted to know if she dared to make a move.

 

“Anyway, you’re pretty lucky. The Heavenslayers Alliance Leader did not notice the changes in your emotions. Although he’s arrogant, he indeed has the power to match it. No one in the Boundless Expanse can deal with him for the time being. Unless…” Eternal Prime God was slightly wary. His voice turned solemn when he suddenly thought of something.

 

Luo Xiangjun looked at him in shock, wondering what he was hiding from her.

 

Naturally, she was aware that Gu Changge was powerful. She already knew that when she was in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. That was her instinct as a ‘Robber’.

 

Most of the time, her instinct allowed her to avoid danger and it kept her safe.

 

“Well, I’ve finally sensed the thick aura of an Ancestral Deity again after so many epochs. I didn’t expect it to come from him. He’s either enslaved an Ancestral Deity or killed one. How truly surprising.” Eternal Prime God ignored Luo Xiangjun’s shock as he sneered.

 

His eyes turned icy as scenes of universes and stars falling apart were enacted. He exuded an intimidating aura. He used to be the Eternal Ancestral Deity many years ago. He did not expect to catch a whiff of the aura of his kind under such circumstances.

 

“Huh?” Luo Xiangjun was flabbergasted upon hearing that. She could feel her goosebumps all over her body.

 

An Ancestral Deity was unlike the Ancestral Dao Realm experts in the Immortal Dao Civilisation, which could be achieved through cultivation.

 

In this era, an Ancestral Deity must have been alive for countless years. There was no end to their lifespan. They were true Primordial Gods.

 

The history of some Supreme Civilisations might have been far shorter than the number of years an Ancestral Deity had been around.

 

As far as Luo Xiangjun was concerned, there were some Divine Empires in the Boundless Expanse which were as strong as Supreme Civilisations. Those were created by Ancestral Deities.

 

…

 

Meanwhile, in the depths of the Imperial Celestial Palace, an ancient library was located among a set of palaces.

 

The building had a hundred floors and every floor was magnificent. The place was surrounded by a mist and Arrays. The fluctuations could destroy Heaven and Earth.

 

The building was ancient and exuded a tremendous aura. It was like a building where thousands of celestials resided. It had all the ancient books in the world.

 

On the top floor, there was a slender figure who had rolled up her sleeves. Her hair was tied in a bun. She was going through the notebooks in front of her with a frown. She was focused on the notebook in her hands as her brows were knitted together. Soon enough, she was shocked by what she had learned.

 

“How is that possible!?” Ling Yuxian clenched the notebook and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

 

During this period, she had been looking into the truth behind her Older Sister’s actions and the Primary Hope Covenant while stabilising the situation in the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

Fortunately, her efforts eventually paid off. She found some clues when reading the notebooks left behind by Ling Yuling.

 

She discovered a piece of paper that contained information about the First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasures in one of the notebooks. The paper was new and the handwriting was beautiful. It was a record of the abstrusities of the Mirror of Reincarnation and how to use it.

 

Then, she perused other notebooks and found similar notes, which was not surprising. Every note was kept inside a notebook. She was only too familiar with the beautiful handwriting.

 

She found everything inconceivable. Naturally, she could recognise that it was the handwriting of her Older Sister, Ling Yuling.

 

Unbeknownst to her, Ling Yuling had jotted down information about the First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasures and kept them in the notebooks.

 

[How did Older Sister find out about these things?] Ling Yuxian was shocked, she found it inconceivable. There was a telepathic connection between them, so they could find out each other’s thoughts. In other words, Ling Yuling had concealed her thoughts so that Ling Yuxian would not know about these matters.

 

[Did that mean that Older Sister has been in contact with some unknown being or some unknown Force? Otherwise, why did she suddenly want to establish the Primary Hope Covenant and even make the Golden Book of the Covenant? No. All these arrangements had to be made in advance… so when did it start?]

 

[She might have even received an order to do all these things. She has never acknowledged it and has tried her best to cover it up. But what are her intentions? The culprit who tried to harm Senior Brother Gu is probably also the person who informed my Older Sister about these records.]

 

[Perhaps she doesn’t even believe that her so-called helper had framed her and shifted the blame to her.]

 

Ling Yuxian suppressed her fury and iciness while keeping these notes. In the following days, she asked the Elders what her Older Sister had been doing when she was not in the Imperial Celestial Palace back then.

 

She suspected that her Older Sister had contacted an outsider and come up with the Primary Hope Covenant during that period.

 

With that doubt in her mind, Ling Yuxian set her eyes on the depths of the Imperial Celestial Palace where the Chaotic Spacetime Sea was located.

 

When Ling Yuling built the Imperial Celestial Palace, she decided to construct the buildings there to prevent the horrendous and terrifying beings from coming out of the Chaotic Spacetime Sea to the Primary Hope Civilisation and devastate all life. She also made Mine Dragon Suppressing Pillars to prevent the waves from coming to destroy everything.

 

Ling Yuxian suspected that her Older Sister had gone to the Chaotic Spacetime Sea. That was because the Elders informed her that Ling Yuling had never left the Imperial Celestial Palace, let alone contacted anyone else.

 

Moreover, Ling Yuxian was aware that the Chaotic Spacetime Sea was a Forbidden Area for everyone else. Only the truly powerful could survive there.

 

However, some changes must have taken place after so many years. An area that was habitable for living beings might have emerged in the Chaotic Spacetime Sea.

 

Ling Yuling was probably aware of it and had visited that place.

 

“Given my current strength, I would not be able to traverse across the Chaotic Spacetime Sea. But, I can inform Senior Brother Gu about it so that he’ll get to the culprit and clear my Older Sister’s name. The current Primary Hope Civilisation is in need of the truth behind the Primary Hope Covenant.”
