At this moment, in the Primary Hope Civilisation, in the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

Within Suffering King City.

 

Inside the palace, Chu Gucheng and his numerous subordinates were deliberating on important matters.

 

Hundreds of terrifying figures gathered here, with the weakest amongst them emanating an aura at the Immortal Emperor Realm. Time Fragments surrounded them, as if they stood in a separate Spacetime, their auras vast and boundless.

 

The Land of Celestial Suffering recruited talented individuals, and over these epochs, had taken in many Fortuitous Ones. Some amongst them had already grown powerful enough to stand on their own.

 

The existences who had arrived upon receiving the news were merely a portion of those available.

 

“Your Majesty, rest assured. With your command, let alone the Mirror of Reincarnation, even the Primary Hope Saintess, is someone we are able to capture for you.” Declared a general of imposing stature, clad in golden armour, laughing as he spoke.

 

His aura was as deep as an abyss, his eyes burned like the Sun. It was an awe-inspiring aura with golden light flowing, brilliantly blazing. He was like an invincible War God who could shake Heaven and Earth.

 

The previously heavy atmosphere in the great hall broke due to this general’s words.

 

Many others chuckled wryly in response.

 

Even Chu Gucheng, whose mood had been rather irritable, shook his head helplessly and smiled, “The Primary Hope Holy Church is, after all, the most ancient Force in the Primary Hope Civilisation. Their Foundation is bottomless. Though they no longer concern themselves with external affairs, you cannot underestimate them.”

 

The general before him, clad in golden armour, was one of the four Divine Generals of the Land of Celestial Suffering, the Heavenly Divine General, whose strength was equally unfathomable.

 

It could even be said that he had been personally promoted and guided by Chu Gucheng.

 

Moreover, the Heavenly Divine General was also a Fortuitous One, whose childhood experiences were somewhat similar to Chu Gucheng’s.

 

“The Primary Hope Holy Church is indeed transcendent in status, but over these epochs, we’ve seen no renowned prodigies emerge from there, and very few have even broken through to reach the Dao Realm. Why should Your Majesty be so concerned about them?” The Heavenly Divine General smiled dismissively.

 

“In our view, those on Purple Sky Mountain are the ones requiring attention, lest they secretly manipulate matters to further worsen the situation.” The Land of Celestial Suffering’s current prestige was indeed at its peak, powerful and prosperous, causing other Forces within the Primary Hope Civilisation to be wary.

 

“Naturally, I do not fear the Primary Hope Holy Church. I am merely consider other matters.” Chu Gucheng shook his head.

 

“The Primary Hope Saintess’s Master is a true Last Stage existence. Though they disappeared countless years ago, they cannot be underestimated.” Last Stage existences, regardless of era or epoch, were absolute beings that no one could oppose.

 

However, this recent approach to the Primary Hope Holy Church, seeking assistance from the Primary Hope Saintess only to be rejected, had deepened Chu Gucheng’s resolve.

 

He was already implementing plans to resist this imminent Great Purge.

 

Within these plans, the Primary Hope Saintess’s Supreme Treasure, the Mirror of Reincarnation, played a crucial role.

 

In Chu Gucheng’s view, it was fundamental to whether his strategy to resist the Great Purge could succeed.

 

At the mention of the Primary Hope Saintess’s Master, all present fell silent.

 

Even the Heavenly Divine General remained quiet, clearly maintaining considerable wariness towards that Last Stage expert.

 

“If only Master could return at this time… The Mirror of Reincarnation is of utmost importance. Should the Primary Hope Saintess persist in refusing to lend it to us, she cannot blame me for taking forceful measures.” Chu Gucheng’s gaze was profound, his countenance naturally commanding authority as he stood with hands behind his back.

 

Star King Bai Mei, the Eight Headed True God, and numerous other subordinates gathered respectfully, their expressions revealing murderous intent upon hearing these words.

 

Since the establishment of the Land of Celestial Suffering, they had encountered multiple calamities and nearly collapsed several times, only to overcome them through their combined efforts.

 

Though the Primary Hope Holy Church held a transcendent status within the Primary Hope Civilisation, should they insist on opposing the Land of Celestial Suffering, these subordinates would not hesitate to follow their king’s orders to attack and seize the Mirror of Reincarnation.

 

“Should the Land of Celestial Suffering perish, then the Primary Hope Civilisation need not exist either!”

 

Several other figures shrouded in divine radiance with terrifying auras beside the Heavenly Divine General spoke declared, their expressions filled with murderous intent.

 

Chu Gucheng nodded with satisfaction.

 

The Land of Celestial Suffering’s rise to its current formidable position was inseparable from his management and recruitment efforts. Each of these subordinates had been personally selected by him, cultivating relationships when they were weak and continuously nurturing them until they reached their present state.

 

“Your Majesty’s 130^th epoch birthday is approaching. As instructed, I have sent invitations to all Major Forces,” Star King Bai Mei reported.

 

Chu Gucheng nodded, “Excellent. After this birthday banquet concludes, should the Primary Hope Holy Church remain obstinate, they cannot blame us.”

 

He then issued several additional instructions before the gathered Star Kings, Divine Generals, and ministers withdrew.

 

However, shortly after the Star Kings and Divine Generals departed, shocking news suddenly arrived, leaving even Chu Gucheng utterly astonished and shaken.

 

“Your Majesty, disaster has struck! The Ninth Crown Prince of the Beast Court has perished within our Land of Celestial Suffering! The Beast Ancestor is livid, and numerous Beast Generals and Beast Soldiers are advancing towards our borders!” A minister, his face pale, rushed in and knelt, making this report.

 

“What did you say!?” Chu Gucheng’s face displayed shock and disbelief.

 

However, he quickly regained composure, his eyes flickering briefly before he commanded sternly, “Have the Heavenly Divine General handle this. Though the Ninth Crown Prince perished within our borders, we cannot allow the Beast Court to act wantonly like this.”

 

After all, this concerned matters of face.

 

Nevertheless, he remained puzzled as to why the Beast Court’s Ninth Crown Prince would suddenly die within their territory.

 

Immediately, from beneath Chu Gucheng’s wide sleeves, an ancient book emanating Dao Light and shrouded in ancient runes appeared.

 

This was a divine object that had nearly achieved the status of a Supreme Treasure, called the Yin Yang Dao Book, possessing deductive abilities. However, Chu Gucheng had not used it for a long time, as it struggled to divine matters concerning beings of his level.

 

Nevertheless, at this moment, he employed it with a furrowed brow, seeking to understand the cause and effect of what had happened.

 

“It actually relates to competing for an opportunity?” The Yin Yang Dao Book was extremely mysterious and profound. Under Chu Gucheng’s divination, ripples spread outward as ancient pages turned, revealing faint light.

 

His brow furrowed deeper, his eyes showing increased gravity.

 

…

 

In Dragon Spirit Ancient Territory.

 

Chu Bai returned to Mystic Heaven City with the Sun Shooting Bow, greeted by cheers throughout the Chu Family.

 

All members were excited beyond measure. After all, Chu Bai had returned victorious without any injuries, whilst the Golden Crow, who had wrought endless carnage, had vanished without a trace.

 

The terrifying battle had also ceased.

 

Clearly, Chu Bai had slain the Golden Crow, proving himself worthy as a prodigy emerging from Mystic Heaven City.

 

“Ancestor Chu Bai has slain a Golden Crow at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm. His strength is truly unfathomable!”

 

All members of the Chu Family looked upon Chu Bai with reverence and admiration.

 

Meanwhile, Chu Bai, who had initially felt something amiss, now dismissed those lingering concerns.

 

“The deed is done. However, I fear the coming days will not be peaceful. I must inform the other experts of the Chu Family about this matter.” Chu Bai looked at the Sun Shooting Bow, which maintained a deep connection with his Soul, and mused to himself.

 

He harboured no regrets about slaying Di Wen. The Sun Shooting Bow was an extraordinarily rare treasure, possessing, in his estimation, power no less than legendary Civilisation Supreme Treasures.

 

With merely a few arrows, he had easily killed Di Wen, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

 

Once he reach the Dao Realm in the future, he would undoubtedly wield even greater might, potentially achieving accomplishments no less than Chu Gucheng, the current King of the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

“Fortune favours the bold. Had I refrained from competing for this bow, I might already have been killed by that Golden Crow’s Guardian upon their arrival.”

 

Chu Bai ignored the assembled Family members and began contacting the other experts within the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

Having cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, he had made numerous friends and naturally knew several Seniors who had already broken through to the Dao Realm.

 

These Seniors held important positions within the Land of Celestial Suffering. Most importantly, Chu Bai needed to report this matter to Chu Gucheng and seek his support.
