At the same time, in another boundless Immortal Land somewhere in the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

Majestic ancient palaces stretched out endlessly into the distance. Located within the various galaxies, they surrounded the vast capital that sat in the centre.

 

From a distance, there seemed to be countless specks of dust floating around the perimeter. They were as densely packed as the grains of sand in the Ganges River, which was truly an amazing sight.

 

Each speck of dust was actually a galaxy. Moreover, the number inhabiting these galaxies were practically uncountable.

 

This place was an ancient country known as the Land of Celestial Suffering, which had existed for hundreds of epochs. In the Primary Hope Civilisation, it could also be ranked as an extremely powerful Force.

 

However, compared to the other true Immortal and Everlasting Forces that easily exceeded thousands or hundreds of thousands of epochs, the history of the Land of Celestial Suffering could not be considered particularly long. In fact, it could only be considered a rising star.

 

The King of the Land of Celestial Suffering was a man named Chu Gucheng.

 

There were many rumours about him and his origins. Some claimed that he came from a Basic World. When he was young, he was supposedly betrayed by his childhood sweetheart and deprived of his Talent. As a result, he was reduced from the number one student in the academy to a useless person.

 

Afterwards, he happened to encounter a man with mysterious origins who eventually became his Master. Without his Master’s help and support along the way, the Celestial Suffering King of today would not have existed.

 

Naturally, there were many other similar rumours. It was just that their authenticity remained to be discussed. In any case, the Celestial Suffering King must have experienced countless calamities while simultaneously receiving countless opportunities and blessings to reach his current position.

 

As the Land of Celestial Suffering’s King, Chu Gucheng was also acknowledged by innumerable cultivators as the incarnation of the Fated One.

 

It was said that he was favoured by the Heavens. For a fortunate person like him, as long as he did not perish early or suffer from evil and nefarious schemes, he was bound to become someone who could stir up thousands of storms in the future.

 

Unfortunately, many fortunate people with inherent great luck tend to suffer a tragic death and perish along the way.

 

Most of the time, they were victims of various evil schemes. Their opportunities were stripped from them, their lives were lost, and their bodies disintegrated in the process. In the end, they were reduced to an empty and sorrowful fate.

 

It might be that the Land of Celestial Suffering’s King himself had experienced similar situations in the past, so he paid extra attention to those fortunate ones.

 

He often reached out to protect and support the fortunate people when they were still young and weak. Sometimes, he would even recruit and nurture them directly.

 

For these reasons, he became very popular among the people and befriended many powerful figures from various universes. It could be said that there were numerous powerful and talented cultivators under his command.

 

Thus, even though the Land of Celestial Suffering had only existed for several hundred epochs, it was formidable enough to strike fear in the Immortal and Everlasting Forces that had lasted for more than several thousand epochs.

 

The Land of Celestial Suffering was composed of more than 3,600 ancient territories. In addition, the territory of each ancient territory was extremely vast. Countless cultivators would ascend from universes such as the Basic Worlds and the Intermediate Worlds every year.

 

Meanwhile, mist steamed and divine light shone brightly on a magnificent Divine Island in the Pristine Emptiness Ancient Territory that was built to look very impressive.

 

Rays of divine light danced across the sky like a rainbow. Cultivators from all over the world were rushing toward the temple in the centre to offer their prayers with incomparable devotion.

 

The temple was absolutely glorious. The whole structure gleamed golden as though constructed from Eternal Immortal Gold, and radiated with an imperishable aura. At the same time, an overwhelming Power of Faith surged toward the centre from all corners of the universes.

 

Inside the temple stood the statue of a deity whose face could not be seen clearly. Nevertheless, the statue exuded an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

 

At this moment, the gold leaf covering the surface of the deity was slowly peeling off as though something was trying to step out of the statue.

 

All of a sudden, beams of blinding divine light shot into the sky. Like the surging waves of the ocean, the millions of beams intertwined with each other until they became uncountable.

 

“The great Eight-Headed True God has appeared!”

 

Seeing this scene, the innumerable cultivators rushing forward to offer their prayers were filled with awe. They enthusiastically knelt on the ground and repeatedly worshipped the deity.

 

The deity enshrined in this temple was none other than the Eight-Headed True God, who once stood beside the Celestial Suffering King, Chu Gucheng, and fought together to conquer the world.

 

When Chu Gucheng first established the Land of Celestial Suffering, the Eight-Headed True God and many other Forces made significant contributions to the cause.

 

Therefore, Chu Gucheng divided and passed down the land to his former subordinates and supporting Forces after he formed the Land of Celestial Suffering. This created the vast domain of today.

 

The Pristine Emptiness Ancient Territory was the territory bestowed to the Eight-Headed True God. It was just that the Eight-Headed True God had always been asleep for countless epochs and had never once awakened.

 

His followers were spread out across many universes and worlds, but none of them had seen him manifest in the world before.

 

High in the sky above the temple today, several million beams of divine light illuminated the sky with thousands of auspicious colours.

 

The Eight-Headed True God abruptly revealed his True Body. His appearance was ancient and stern. Furthermore, each of his eight faces had different expressions. Some resembled Dragons, some resembled Phoenixes, some resembled Humans, and some resembled Ghosts. They radiated with a terrifying pressure that made countless cultivators tremble.

 

“The Immortal Spirit Civilisation is the Civilisation that the King has visited in the past. It was also because of their relationship with me that the Immortal Spirit Civilisation later surrendered to the Primary Hope Civilisation. To think there are Forces trying to interfere in the Primary Hope Civilisation… Their actions can be said to be a provocation towards the King

 

“The King trusted me and ordered me to supervise the Primary Hope Civilisation. But, I have been busy cultivating throughout the years and never bothered to monitor the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. Now that a problem has occurred in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, I am the only one to blame.”

 

The Eight-Headed True God murmured to himself.

 

Behind him were blurry ever-changing circles of light, resembling the rise and fall of the dazzling Three Thousand Divine Empires.

 

Although the Primary Hope Civilisation and the Immortal Spirit Civilisation were located extremely far apart, he had many connections with the Wu Clan. Therefore, he had already heard the news that the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was about to undergo drastic changes.

 

While the Immortal Spirit Civilisation had seemingly surrendered to the Primary Hope Civilisation on the surface, the truth was that the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was the Land of Celestial Suffering’s Subsidiary Civilisation.

 

Furthermore, the Immortal Spirit Civilisation would send strong experts across the immense distance of several hundred million kilometres every epoch to deliver Fortuity Crystals and many other rare resources.

 

It stood to reason that the Land of Celestial Suffering had to take action to resolve the turmoil in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation.

 

The Eight-Headed True God immediately revealed his True Body. His intentions were to summon his subordinates and personally lead them to the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

“Counting the days, it will be the King’s one hundred and thirtieth birthday soon. Powerful cultivators from all over the world will definitely come to celebrate his birthday. If news about the incident in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation spreads out, it will be a huge humiliation for the King. He will definitely be dishonoured and disgraced. So, this matter cannot be known to the King just yet. I need to resolve this issue as soon as possible.”

 

The look in his eyes became extremely deep. Tearing open the Spacetime with his large hands, he quickly entered the gap with his True Body and soon vanished out of sight.

 

Countless cultivators, who witnessed the scene with their own eyes, were shocked beyond words.

 

Many devout believers of the Eight-Headed True God also became extremely fanatic in their devotion. However, nobody knew the reason why the Eight-Headed True God appeared so suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly.

 

…

 

At this moment, the vast territory where the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was located had fallen into utter chaos.

 

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

 

The rattling impact shook the sky as the figures of millions of cultivators rushed out from various universes.

 

They quickly converged together like a raging torrent and engaged in endless slaughter. Blood mist soon permeated the air. Many innocent victims had no time to scream before they exploded and died in the aftermath of the battle between the powerful cultivators.

 

These scenes were so tragic that they invoked fear in the hearts of the onlookers.

 

The Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan came closer and closer, until they finally chose to attack the Wu Clan and the Gou Clan.

 

As soon as the battle erupted, the aftermath immediately swept across a large part of the universe and the territory.

 

Numerous terrifying weapons of war crossed through the universe. Draining the Spiritual Energy and the power of the Star Territories.

 

These weapons easily tore the cultivators ahead into pieces.

 

Countless ancient stars filled with life were destroyed and annihilated in an instant. They bloomed like fireworks in the night sky, gorgeous and beautiful. However, their glory lasted only for a second, with all the lives, lost for eternity.

 

The conquest had commenced in earnest.

 

For the Immortal Spirit Civilisation that had been at peace for a long time, it was as though a meteorite had been thrown into a calm pool of water all of a sudden. No Force would be able to escape unscathed, and even the ordinary cultivators had been dragged into the battle.

 

Anybody with a discerning eye could see the truth by now.

 

The Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan had joined hands with the intention of working together to eliminate the Wu Clan and the Gou Clan from this world altogether.

 

From this moment onward, the Immortal Spirit Civilisation would surely be dominated by the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan. After all, it would take the combined strength of all the other Forces to rival them in strength.

 

Even more so when Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan were closely connected with many of the Forces in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. When the two Major Forces made their move, these other Forces also swarmed forward in response.

 

Under these circumstances, how could the other neutral Forces survive on their own? They could only defend passively and try their best to remain within the range of their respective territories.

 

It could be said that this war had been planned for a long time. Be that as it may, once the war erupted, the fighting only took place among the Immortals and above. However, there were no Dao Realm experts on the battlefield.

 

In fact, many Forces that received news about the war in advance had already activated their Sect Protection Formations and recalled their Clansmen from the outside. They had no intention of getting involved in the war, but they knew they would inevitably be implicated in the war if the situation continued.

 

At any rate, there were many Forces in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. Leaving aside the strongest Four Major Clans, the heritage of the other Clans was not to be underestimated either. For example, the Divine Eternal Clan and several other mysterious Clans too.

 

In such a turbulent situation, the news regarding the emergence of the Azure Sky Realm became insignificant in comparison. Many of the cultivators in the younger generation and the middle-aged generation, who originally planned to enter the Azure Sky Realm for training, were forced to give up on their plans.

 

On the other hand, Mu Yan had been staying in Breeze Ancient City because she was uneasy about the advice Wang He left behind.

 

She had been contemplating whether she should enter the Azure Sky Realm.

 

Although she did not fully trust Wang He’s words, she was very curious as to why he knew about the emergence of the Azure Sky Realm in advance. Besides, what was inside the Azure Sky Realm that was so important to her?

 

His words had aroused a strong sense of curiosity in her. Her thoughts were consumed by those words, and she could not calm down no matter what she did.

 

There was no denying that Wang He had taken a huge risk to meet her and tell her that he would help her and take her away. Afterwards, he even showed kindness and advised her to be careful because people’s hearts were convoluted. He also advised her not to trust the people around her.

 

However… she did not take his advice to heart. On the contrary, she honestly told Gu Changge everything the very next day after the incident took place.
