Shortly after, everyone in the palace was stunned. Warriors of all ages opened their eyes agape in disbelief, gawking at the young man that appeared out of thin air without making a sound. His presence alone felt as if he was out of this world. With an emotionless expression, the young man simply donned a black robe without any accessories, yet managed to appear overwhelmingly noble and daunting.

 

Following behind him was the Supreme Stygian Archbishop with utmost respect in his face accompanied by a damsel in white with her face vaguely concealed. Her eyes glistened like a river as her brows arched like a crescent moon, instantly grabbing the attention of many young men.

 

“The Supreme Stygian Archbishop, and the Most Graceful Damsel of Eastern Barren, the Supreme Stygian Saintess. That shall be all. Honored to see you, Your Highness.” In that instant, everyone in the palace instinctively grew courteous and reverent.

 

Meanwhile, Zhao Tian, Chu Wuji, Xiao Huo and the rest were even more dazed. [The young master’s strength is immeasurable. We could only feel traces of it, but it’s abysmally daunting!]

 

“You may drop the courtesy,” Gu Changge faintly stated. Showing himself and flaunting his might were two things he would never reject doing. Of course, he could also take the opportunity to investigate the various forces in Eastern Barren, knowing that, among the visitors, countless of them were closely acquainted with Ye Chen. However, given the insignificance of the matter and his position, he needed only to say a word and not a single soul would ever get in contact with Ye Chen again. After all, the righteous would thrive while the wicked would perish. And he wondered how much longer Ye Chen could survive with dwindling Fortuity.

 

With that, the visitors introduced their respective factions to Gu Changge, intending to give him a deep impression. Nonetheless, Gu Changge feigned no interest as his eyes remained indifferent. In fact, he was actually zoning out. [It’s about time I customize my virtual interface. As for Ye Chen, he’s probably running out of Fortuity, so he’s gonna die anytime now. The Mind Convergence Pill isn’t as almighty as they think.]

 

Accordingly, Gu Changge marked the hidden techniques recorded under Nommening’s entry in the system. Were Yan Ji still in her peak, she would have noticed it, but given her Cursed Spirit state, there was no way she could sense it. Thus, Gu Changge was confident with the numerous hidden techniques of Nommening.

 

[Where can Ye Chen run to? Right now, he’s merely my treasure-seeking rat.]

 

In the meantime, no one noticed anything strange with his expression as he lowered his eyes and took a  sip of his wine. Fortunately for him, he was blessed with a physique—as long as he kept a serious face, he would appear extremely apathetic and unpredictable. Such was referred to as an innate perk.

 

Seeing that, the crowd in the palace grew more horrified, fearing that they might have upset the young master. Every massive force was assiduously gratifying Gu Changge. Some intended to discover the purpose of his descent from the Beyond while the others wished to identify his interests. Regardless, Gu Changge was pleased by the attention. [Isn’t being the antagonist just the best?]

 

Everyone could tell that Su Qingge was the sole reason as to how Supreme Stygian Holy Land managed to get Gu Changge on their side. The title of ‘Most Graceful Damsel of Eastern Barren’ wasn’t baseless as she was perceived as a goddess by innumerable young men. Consequently, some of the elderly began to ponder, wondering if they had any potential beauties in their clans. Those whose looks weren’t even half of Su Qingge’s charm were indubitably out of the question.

 

All of a sudden, Gu Changge’s eyes fell upon a fetching woman among the crowd.

 

“What’s your name?” He stood up and inquired.

 

“Uhh… Are you talking to me, Your Highness?” The fetching woman was visibly delighted and thrilled as her voice trembled while her eyes were filled with admiration. She was surprised to be noticed by Gu Changge. “I am Wang Xue, a disciple of Blossom’s Palace.”

 

Startled, everyone simultaneously turned to her. Many were utterly jealous of the woman that was interviewed by Gu Changge as it would be a great honor to gain the young master’s attention. The crowd began to wonder about her identity.

 

“Have we met before? Who are you to Ye Chen?” Gu Changge looked at her and questioned with a monotonous tone.

 

“Ah, Ye Chen…” Upon the question, the female disciple named Wang Xue immediately grew nervous.

 

“Xue, His Highness is talking to you!” Her master, who was beside her, was more hasty than she was, craving for a conversation with Gu Changge himself.

 

“Your Highness, Ye Chen is my former fiancé, and I eventually backed out from the marriage three years ago. Some time ago, in the Forbidden Area of Thousand Beasts, I watched you slaughter a monstrous beast of Honoured Lord Realm with one blow from a distance not far away and was coincidentally rescued by Your Highness, so…” Wang Xue forced herself to calm down as she hastily clarified.

 

[Ye Chen’s fiancée, who broke up with him three years ago, was rescued by me?] Gu Changge started scouring in his sea of memories. Indeed, the host had gone to the Forbidden Area of Thousand Beasts a long time ago to seek Destiny, but his search was to no avail. [No wonder she’s looking at me with those admiring eyes of hers. She must have fallen for me back then.]

 

“What…”

 

“Slaughtering a beast of Honoured Lord Realm with just one blow…”

 

Hearing Wang Xue’s statement, everyone in the palace couldn’t help but gasp. On the other hand, Zhao Tian, Chu Wuji and the rest were even more stupefied as they grew unsettled. [Did I hear that right? What cosmic power does this young master truly hold?]

 

In Eastern Barren, elders of Mighty-Transcendent Realm were the most abundant while figures of Honoured Nobility Realm were usually the leaders of their lands, overseeing a vast area. Meanwhile, beings of Honoured Lord Realm were unquestionably unrivaled. Alas, only traces of such beings can be found in forbidden areas.

 

[Does that mean all the forces from every corner of Eastern Barren are unable withstand even one blow from the young master?] None doubted the words of Wang Xue. Su Qingge, too, was dumbfounded to discover the frightening might of Gu Changge.

 

To Gu Changge, the young warriors of Eastern Barren weren’t even as worthy as ants. At once, every soul in the palace was intimidated as their respect for the young master grew drastically.

 

[I’d be damned had I asked about Ye Chen’s whereabouts! Otherwise, my successors could give up establishing a relationship with the young master. Ye Chen, you foolish lad! Why have you offended such a powerful being?] The Supreme Elder of Pseudo-Sol Holy Land thought in his heart as he was drenched in cold sweat as he would have brought doom upon himself were he to question Gu Changge about Ye Chen.

  1. Hmm. Compared with the other translator group. This translation doesn’t mention of The Supreme Elder of Pseudo-Sol Holy Land’s granddaughter. Was the author editing it after the other translator translated it, or did they misinterpret it, or is there another reason…?
