Many were caught off guard by what had happened. They found it inconceivable.

 

Outside the hall, Elders and the higher-ranking members still had not come to their senses. They were astounded.

 

The leaders of the various Forces were equally shocked. They did not expect such a thing to happen.

 

Why was the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader, who was signing the Primary Hope Covenant, suddenly attacked?

 

Even an Ancestral Dao Realm expert would be unable to fend off such an attack.

 

The person who had done that was determined to end Gu Changge’s life right there and then.

 

Supposedly, after the covenant was signed, the situation in the Primary Hope Civilisation would stabilise, and they would enjoy some peaceful days. This was good news to all the Forces. Who would want to stop that?

 

During the process, Gu Changge never stopped it or opposed anything. He readily agreed to sign the covenant, and everything was going well. But now, it was all ruined.

 

The moment Gu Changge was attacked, the covenant that was meant to bring peace to everyone was invalidated. It would not be signed again.

 

Everyone was livid. They could already envision the Primary Hope Civilisation descending into chaos soon eonugh.

 

Regardless of whether the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader, Gu Changge, had died, the various Forces would suffer a backlash. Those from the Heavenslayers Alliance would retaliate against them.

 

The growls coming from the people of the Heavenslayers Alliance made the beings outside the Mountain of Wonders, who were unaware of the truth, come to their senses. They were terrified.

 

Just now, all of them were blinded by the Divine Light that had penetrated the depths of the universe. Their senses were sealed, so they had no idea what had happened in the hall.

 

Now, it seemed that the destructive Divine Light coming from the Golden Book of Covenant was targeted at Gu Changge. It was meant to kill him.

 

Was the so-called Primary Hope Covenant merely a trap devised by the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace and the other Forces to end Gu Changge’s life?

 

“Is this true? Is this a trap which has been set up to deal with the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader? All of us have been fooled. The signing of the Primary Hope Covenant was all a lie. To think they had come up with such a cold calculated scheme.”

 

Many beings felt their bodies turning cold.

 

Besides them, the people from the Forces who were not aware of the truth felt that they had been fooled.

 

They did not know this matter before coming to this place, nor did they receive any news or hear of any rumours.

 

All of them thought that the covenant was meant to bring peace to everyone so that there would not be any danger in the Primary Hope Civilisation in the future. Much to their surprise, Ling Yuling and the others were so ruthless that they were determined to fool everyone in the Primary Hope Civilisation just to deal with Gu Changge.

 

They were astounded by the resolve of those people while reeling from the shock.

 

Before this, no one had dared to form this kind of speculation. It was inconceivable that anyone would want to set up a trap and kill Gu Changge to destroy the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

At this moment, the leaders were wary of Ling Yuling.

 

She was a Great Sage who had helped end the Black Disaster. Although she looked gentle, graceful, and beautiful, she was ruthless and determined. All her moves were inscrutable.

 

These people were astounded when a boom was suddenly heard. An epic battle broke out in the hall in the depths of the Mountain of Wonders just like that.

 

The people of the Heavenslayers Alliance charged forward and the furious Dao Realm experts made a move. Their powers surged and swept forward like a storm. Divine Lights beamed and Grand Runes flickered.

 

The illusory images of Small Universes and Ancient Universes overlapped. Their powers suppressed all living beings.

 

They were furious. Enraged by what had just happened, they did not hold back.

 

At this moment, all those in the hall were enemies of the Heavenslayers Alliance. After all, it was believed that Ling Yuling and the others had joined forces to kill Gu Changge.

 

“Since he’s so powerful, I suppose he’ll be fine…” Mu Yan was worried while looking at the area which had evaporated.

 

All the Principles and auras over there had vanished. They could not see it and their divine senses could not penetrate it. It was as though the area had been erased from this world.

 

It went without saying how horrifying the force was. Even an Ancestral Dao Realm expert would be killed, so it could be considered a fatal attack.

 

They did not expect such a thing to happen when signing the Primary Hope Covenant.

 

Mu Yan was there when Ling Yuling and the ancient beings discussed the details of the covenant, but she was not interested in whatever they talked about.

 

Before that, Gu Changge had told her that the development of the Heavenslayers Alliance would make the various Forces of the Primary Hope Civilisation wary. Therefore, they would surely use the Primary Hope Covenant to curb their expansion.

 

At that time, Mu Yan asked him what he would do in that situation. Would he bring the Heavenslayers Alliance to subdue those Forces?

 

Gu Changge shook his head and said with a smile that he was not interested in doing that. It would be fine to sign the Primary Hope Covenant as it would not affect the Heavenslayers Alliance in any way.

 

He did not establish the Heavenslayers Alliance to rule over the Primary Hope Civilisation to feed his ambition.

 

Therefore, Mu Yan knew that the Forces of the Primary Hope Civilisation and Gu Changge were not on the same level. He stood at a higher level, so he could see things differently.

 

Gu Changge had established the Heavenslayers Alliance to destroy Heaven so that it would benefit all living beings. As such, when Mu Yan saw that the various Forces of the Primary Hope Civilisation had collaborated to harm Gu Changge, she was heartbroken and infuriated.

 

“The Alliance Leader’s power is inscrutable. He’ll be fine.” Mo Tong was usually dispassionate, but she could not help but be worried at this moment.

 

Mu Yan looked at her with surprise. This young woman with grey hair was usually impassive and taciturn, so it was rare that she would reveal her true feelings like this.

 

The two of them had been by Gu Changge’s side for a long time. In the Immortal Spirit Civilisation back then, Gu Changge took Mo Tong away from the arena, and she had been following him since then.

 

The people around her had rarely heard her speak as she was silent most of the time. Other than the times when she learned cultivation techniques from the White Bone Ancestor King, she was normally as silent as an ice sculpture.

 

Mo Tong noticed Mu Yan’s gaze and said, “The Alliance Leader has been treating me well. He’s amiable and kind. No one is allowed to scheme against him with a petty trick like this.”

 

She would never forget the day when Gu Changge took her away from the dark, stinky, and bloody arena. That allowed her to bathe in the sunlight and enjoy some fresh air.

 

“If anything happens to the Alliance Leader, I swear I’ll make these people pay the price in blood.”

 

A murderous intent flickered from Mo Tong’s grey pupils. She swept a glance over the people in the hall before eventually staring at cultivators such as Ling Yuling and the Primary Hope Saintess.

 

In the hall, horrifying auras intertwined with each other. As these people exchanged blows, Grand Runes appeared and the immense energy poured down from the chasm in the sky.

 

In the sky were all sorts of Dao Artifacts such as divine lamps, Tai Chi Diagrams, Yin Yang Swords, Eight Trigrams Mirrors, and celestial drums. Billions of dawn lights beamed and Great Dao Principles descended. The destructive aura seemed able to destroy everything.

 

A war of this scale was astonishing as the repercussions swept across countless galaxies. Some Ancestral Dao Realm experts on the sidelines looked coldly at the war, ready to join it at any moment.

 

Fortunately, the Mountain of Wonders’ natural terrain was able to suppress the powers of all cultivators. Otherwise, any Ancestral Dao Realm expert could easily tear down the entire place.

 

“Older Sister, why? Why did you do this?” Ling Yuxian stood at the back as she was protected by several Elders from the Imperial Celestial Palace. She looked at Ling Yuling, who was confronting several Ancestral Dao Realm experts from the Heavenslayers Alliance, while she suppressed her fury.

 

“I don’t know how things have ended up this way either.” Ling Yuling shook her head, feeling helpless and bitter.

 

At this moment, she was shocked and perplexed, but she had no choice but to confront those from the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Everyone, including the Elders and Disciples of the Imperial Celestial Palace, believed that it was her plot. She must have collaborated with different Forces to lure Gu Changge into this trap to kill him.

 

In the distance, the Primary Hope Saintess had no choice but to confront those from the Heavenslayers Alliance as well.

 

She did not know whether she should believe Ling Yuling’s statement. Was Ling Yuling telling the truth, or was she shifting the blame to someone else?

 

Previously, the Primary Hope Saintess had talked to Ling Yuling about ways to deal with the Heavenslayers Alliance, but the latter had never told her about this plan.

 

“She’s a Great Sage who had destroyed the Black Disaster, after all. What she’s done is impressive.” The ancient being from Empty Boundary Ridge, Shang Chongming, looked at Ling Yuling with admiration while feeling wary.

 

Even a being like him who had gone through his Eighth Decay Tribulation was terrified of the power that had struck from the sky.

 

If he was struck by the attack without a warning, he would die right there and then. Even if Gu Changge were not dead, he would’ve been badly injured. It would be challenging for him to return to the peak of his power.

 

“It’s indeed impressive.” Dao Monarch Chang Ming cupped his fists while feeling wary.

 

“Hahaha. All of us are awestruck by what you’ve done, Senior Yuling. We don’t need to stick to any principles when dealing with him. By removing a tumour like him from the Primary Hope Civilisation, all of us have already greatly benefited.

 

“It’s an important contribution you’ve made, so you don’t need to feel guilty about it. We understand why you’ve done that and it’s commendable.”

 

The leader of the Solar Heavenly Clan was dealing with a Dao Realm expert from Heavenslayers Alliance. As he waved his sleeve, two flying swords which carried the Chaotic Light shot forward and cut off the Dao Realm expert’s arm. The enemy was sent flying away while spitting blood.

 

He stood domineeringly there while holding his sword. His laugh reverberated across the hall.

 

The other leaders who were close to him put on a smile. Although they were astounded by what just happened, they did not think it was wrong. They could put their morals or righteousness aside when dealing with someone like Gu Changge.

 

Leaders from the Immortal Forces like the Master of Light from Bright Light Temple and Buddhism Master from the Tathagata Buddha Realm were watching the war from a distance along with their Elders and Buddhas.

 

They had already left their names on the Primary Hope Covenant, so they were surprised by what had happened.

 

But now, all the people in the hall regarded the Heavenslayers Alliance as their enemies, including cultivators from Forces who had left their names on the Primary Hope Covenant.

 

Ling Yuling hovered in the air as her hair swayed with the wind. She was normally gentle, but now, her eyes looked stern.

 

She stared coldly at the leader of the Solar Heavenly Clan. The other party still fanned the flames at this point, hoping to escalate the conflict and make her go against the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

In her opinion, someone must have done something to the Golden Book of Covenant. Otherwise, it would not have produced such a destructive force and attacked Gu Changge.

 

The chaotic war soon extended beyond the hall. Several Dao Realm experts flew out of the hall. In the Spacetime over there, Divine Lights beamed into the sky and all sorts of horrifying sights were seen.

 

Countless beings were terrified. Impacted by the pressure, their bones cracked and they could not stand stably.

 

The world was shaking and a lot of divine trees had collapsed to the ground. If one looked at the place from the Heavenly Universe, he would see a massive chasm had formed. It was as though an inconceivable force had penetrated it.

 

The auras permeating the area were so intimidating that they could destroy the body and Soul of any living being.

 

Things were getting out of control. Ling Yuling, who had been confronting the people of Heavenslayers Alliance, had no choice but to make a move.

 

She extended her fair hand, which traversed across the Heavenly Universe and entered the outside Spacetime. She then separated those Dao Realm experts who were in a fight.

 

If she allowed them to continue fighting, the universe around them would be destroyed by the repercussions.

 

The leaders of Forces such as the Solar Heavenly Clan, Sun Covering Mountain, and Towering Divine Cave revealed their auras and pressure to continue confronting the people of Heavenslayers Alliance. The atmosphere was intense.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess, Xi Yin, Dao Monarch Chang Ming, and other ancient beings went over to stabilise the situation.

 

“All of you, please calm down. The aura of Heavenslayers Alliance Leader has disappeared. Many of you are leaders of Major Forces, but you’re so foolish as to continue being loyal to him.” A Sect Master sneered while sweeping a glance over the people of Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

“All of you are despicable. Ling Yuling, as the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace , how can you do such a deplorable thing?

 

“The Alliance Leader admires you very much and he takes the Primary Hope Covenant seriously. He has only agreed to sign it for your sake.”

 

“However, who would have thought you’re so devious? Don’t you have any conscience at all? How could you use such a dirty trick on the man who had saved you?

 

“When you were trapped in the dark space back then, it was the Alliance Leader who took the initiative to help you break free. Is this how you repay his favour? Has he ever done anything that upsets you? Why did you do such a thing to him?”

 

People like Hun Yuanjun, Zhuo Fengxie, and Chu Heng walked out of the hall. They were shocked and furious as a murderous intent surged from them.

 

The Early Ancestor of the Jing Family, Jing Tianyuan, chastised Ling Yuling in front of so many people without showing her any respect.

 

The other Dao Realm experts of Heavenslayers Alliance were enraged as well.

 

This matter was inconceivable to them. It never crossed their minds that Ling Yuling and the others would set up a trap using the Golden Book of Covenant. They suddenly made a move against Gu Changge when he was signing the covenant.

 

They did not expect these people to be so despicable. These people were so shameless as to do such a thing in front of so many people.

 

Those from the Heavenslayers Alliance had asked Gu Changge to think twice before making the decision. They felt that those people from the Primary Hope Civilisation must be up to no good when devising the Primary Hope Covenant.

 

Several months ago, those from the Heavenslayers Alliance talked about the Primary Hope Covenant and said to Gu Changge that it was meant to curb the expansion of their alliance.

 

The Forces must be wary of Heavenslayers Alliance, which was why they came up with the Primary Hope Covenant.

 

They felt that Gu Changge should not sign the covenant. After all, the Heavenslayers Alliance was powerful and they were not afraid of any Force.

 

In just ten thousand years or several thousand years, they would be able to rule over the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

However, Gu Changge told them they shouldn’t do that. If they waged war against different parties, innocent living beings would be affected. This was against the very reason he created the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

If the establishment of the Heavenslayers Alliance would make the various Forces descend into turmoil, he would be no different from the remnants of the Black Disaster or the monsters.

 

Despite his nonchalance, the people of Heavenslayers Alliance were moved by what he had said. They admired him greatly.

 

Gu Changge had considered the interests of all living beings and Races. On the other hand, those people used such a dirty scheme to deal with Gu Changge. It would be an understatement to say that they were disappointed.
