“So what if I’m willing to tell you? Now, you’re nothing more than an Artifact Spirit. Do you think you can get your revenge?” Gu Changge said calmly.

 

Ji Hanjing’s vague face kept shifting amid the mist. In the end, she helplessly hung her head low while feeling resentful. It was true. She was nothing more than an Artifact Spirit confined to the Scavenger Tome. She could not even leave, so how could she get her revenge? So what if she found out who her true enemy was? She was incapable of retaliating against anyone.

 

Even if her body and foundation were rebuilt, it would take her a long time to return to the peak of her power.

 

“C-Can you help me?” Ji Hanjing suddenly lifted her head and looked pleadingly at Gu Changge.

 

She used to be the Empress of the Precious Light Ancient Dynasty, who had no regard for anyone. She was so powerful that all the Races had to pay tributes to her. Residents of countless Star Territories had to worship her. She had never pleaded with anyone like this in her life.

 

It had been a long time since she started working for Gu Changge. Although she knew little about his background, she was aware of how capable he was. There was no doubt he could help her.

 

“Why would I help you?” An amused Gu Changge looked at her upon hearing that. “According to the agreement, I’ll help you get out of the Scavenger Tome and rebuild your body. But, this vengeance of yours has nothing to do with me.”

 

Ji Hanjing stared fixedly at him and said determinedly, “If you help me get my revenge, I’ll give you everything I have. I’ll work for you and obey all your orders. I’ll do anything for you, no matter the cost. I don’t know what plan you have, nor do I care. As long as you can help me, I’m willing to do anything for you.”

 

She understood Gu Changge’s temperament. He would not do anything for anyone out of sympathy. There was a reason behind everything he did, and it had to be beneficial to him. If she wanted Gu Changge to help her, she had to offer something he would find satisfactory.

 

“You’re the Daughter of the Middle Monarch and the First Princess of the Flourishing Light Ancestral Court. It’s indeed difficult for me to turn you down.” Gu Changge put on a smile. It was as though he already knew Ji Hanjing would say that. At this point, she did not have a choice.

 

Ji Hanjing still gaped at Gu Changge, awaiting his reply.

 

She had no idea what Gu Changge was thinking about. A few breaths of time in silence felt like an eternity.

 

“I can help you get your revenge, but everything you have belongs to me from now on. Have you truly thought it through?” Finally, Gu Changge shifted his attention to her. His eyes radiated a strange glow.

 

As a Civilisation Supreme Treasure, the Scavenger Tome was just as powerful as the other Civilisation Supreme Treasures. However, the previous owner of the Scavenger Tome could not get its acknowledgement, so he could not fully activate its power. He only regarded the item as a tool for him to find some treasures.

 

Ji Hanjing was the Scavenger Tome’s Artifact Spirit. Therefore, she could use the item’s power. It was just that because of some Restrictions and Arrays, causing her to be unable to leave the Scavenger Tome.

 

Gu Changge had already considered this. He intended to use the Civilisation Supreme Treasure as a medium to rebuild Ji Hanjing’s body.

 

That meant turning the Civilisation Supreme Treasure into her. In short, she and the Scavenger Tome would become one, never to be separated again.

 

However, Gu Changge had never seen a Civilisation Supreme Treasure assuming Human Form, nor did he find any record in ancient books.

 

He was not sure if Ji Hanjing could successfully become one with the Scavenger Tome. It depended on whether she could get through the Tribulation of Transformation.

 

Supposedly, the Tribulation of Transformation for a Civilisation Supreme Treasure was similar to the Decay Tribulations that Ancestral Dao Realm experts had to go through.

 

Other than Decay Tribulations, there were also natural disasters and man-made calamities. A Civilisation Supreme Treasure was unlike an Ancestral Dao Realm expert. It contained the entirety of a Civilisation’s power. Therefore, the karma it had to suffer through was magnitudes greater.

 

Ji Hanjing had been confined to the Scavenger Tome for countless years. Her own energy was almost used up. She could not even remember her past.

 

If not for Gu Changge’s reminder, she would have remained in a state of muddle-headedness.

 

In short, she no longer had the power to get through a Tribulation like this.

 

“As long as I can get my revenge, I’m willing to pay any price.” Ji Hanjing said calmly. Her eyes on her vague face were indifferent. It was like a still lake.

 

Then, Gu Changge directly told her about his plan without hiding anything from her.

 

Ji Hanjing was not against the idea of becoming one with the Scavenger Tome. Moreover, it could save her the long process of leaving the Scavenger Tome, rebuilding her body, and recuperation.

 

She had never heard of a Civilisation Supreme Treasure assuming Human Form, though.

 

If successful, she would be as powerful as those Ancestral Dao Realm experts. In fact, since he was Civilisation Supreme Treasure, she might even be stronger than all of them.

 

She would not be inferior to the likes of Mu Fuguang and Buddha Bei Ci.

 

Nevertheless, according to Gu Changge, the Tribulation of Transformation was dangerous and might even draw the attention of those from the Land of Truth.

 

To save himself the trouble, Gu Changge might not even help her when that happened. Therefore, Ji Hanjing had to be mentally prepared that she might die.

 

Certainly, since Gu Changge had made a promise to her, he would come up with a way to increase her odds of success.

 

…

 

A few days later, in a quiet Star Territory in the depths of the Heavenslayers Alliance, the Chaotic Light made an appearance. Bolts of primordial lightning penetrated the universe, forming an ocean of lightning.

 

An ancient book hovered there and exuded a Mist of Chaos. A purple mist which contained a lot of abstrusities appeared.

 

All sorts of Dao Energy clashed. The light generated from it illuminated the dark universe.

 

Gu Changge stood in the distance and watched everything calmly.

 

All sorts of light appeared as they came from different Spacetimes. In the end, calmness was restored to Heaven and Earth.

 

However, the situation did not last long. Heaven and Earth seemed to have been torn apart. All sorts of strange things shot out of the chasm.

 

There were Human figures as well as natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcano eruptions, hurricanes, the collapse of the sky, and floods. Each of these could destroy an Ancient True World.

 

The scenes were horrifying. Many people were heard wailing and praying to Heaven. Then, they were drowned in floods, burned by flames, devoured by the collapsed sky, and so on.

 

Countless ghosts wandered around the world while carrying eerie auras.

 

Spacetime was shattered and everything was chaotic. No one could tell when these incidents happened or whether everything was true.

 

In the end, the illusory image of the Precious Light Ancient Dynasty appeared. The once flourishing Kingdom seemed to have awakened from the River of Time, ready to show everyone its glory.

 

The Scavenger Tome was drowned in the thick mist and those scenes.

 

A Civilisation Supreme Treasure was no different from an ordinary cultivator when going through a strange Tribulation like this.

 

The pages were set ablaze by the dark flames that suddenly appeared in the void. Page by page, it turned into ashes.

 

Gu Changge frowned and waved his hand. The thick mist dissipated slightly.

 

The vague figure in the Scavenger Tome was continuously contorted. Cracks also appeared on the Scavenger Tome.

 

Ji Hanjing was going through the extreme pain of rebuilding her body. This kind of transformation was not just limited to her Soul.

 

This was an integration between the Scavenger Tome and herself. The Scavenger Tome would become her new body. It was akin to merging a body of flesh and blood and an item whole.

 

[I’ve underestimated her willpower. When the Scavenger Tome was made, the pain she had to go through was probably far greater than this. The Scavenger Tome was partly made from her flesh and blood.] Gu Changge pocketed his gaze. He had intended to help, but there didn’t seem to be such a need. He had underestimated Ji Hanjing’s capabilities.

 

Several days later, the depths of the universe became calm again. All the storms and auras were gone. The area fell silent.

 

Only a vague light hovered there like a body that hadn’t taken shape. It was covered in a Mist of Chaos and all sorts of Dao Energy.

 

Gu Changge had left this universe a few days ago. When he realised there would not be a problem with Ji Hanjing’s Tribulation, he directly left.

 

Before Ji Hanjing’s transformation was successful, no one would come to disturb her.

 

After the transformation, she would need some time to get used to her new body and new found might. Naturally, Gu Changge did not have the time to wait and protect her.

 

The epic war between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance had started.

 

To be precise, the Heavenslayers Alliance had waged a war against the Righteous Alliance. The Heavenslayers Alliance was at an advantage. Those from the Righteous Alliance had no choice but to resist, but as those from the Heavenslayers Alliance domineeringly pushed forward. Thus, the Righteous Alliance had no choice but to shrink and give up on some of its territories.

 

The universes closest to the Heavenslayers Alliance were immediately abandoned by the Righteous Alliance. Initially, many Forces relied on the Righteous Alliance for survival. They immediately surrendered when the Righteous Alliance was expanding its influence back then.

 

The Heavenslayers Alliance had more resources though. They opened up a stable Spacetime portals in the Boundless Expanse to allow ancient battleships that carried armies of soldiers to pass through.

 

These soldiers were all ferocious and murderous. Wherever they went, they could easily destroy the soldiers of the Righteous Alliance. The latter did not even have a chance to resist.

 

Compared to getting slaughtered by dark beings or becoming the nutrients for their ceremony, submitting to the Heavenslayers Alliance at this point was the wiser choice.

 

For this reason, soldiers of the Righteous Alliance had lost their morale. They no longer had the energy to fend off the soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

All of them were afraid of death and unwilling to charge forward. Moreover, the Righteous Alliance was facing two enemies at the same time.

 

Even Dao Realm experts would choose either to avoid or retreat. If they did not have a choice, they would yield to the Heavenslayers Alliance. This was far better than getting killed.

 

Still, some defiant people refused to surrender. Needless to say, they died a horrible death and their corpses were nowhere to be found. They were devoured by the waves in the Boundless Expanse. Nothing was left.

 

Under such a circumstance, soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance were in high spirits, as they quickly destroyed the Righteous Alliance’s territories at the front line.

 

At this point, the soldiers of the Righteous Alliance wisely surrendered.

 

Since they had decided to give up on the faraway territories, which they knew they could not protect, they naturally had to abandon those weak and newly born Civilisations and True Worlds.

 

Now, their total territory was only one-third of what they had previously.

 

At the same time, various Forces of the Righteous Alliance were relocating to the central area. Civilisations and True Worlds in the central area of the Righteous Alliance like the Radiant Yang True World and Ephemeral Yin True World were receiving these people.

 

This move was effective but also disappointing for many, especially for those who were still going against the soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance at the front line.

 

When the Righteous Alliance was founded, it was agreed that they would fight the enemies together.

 

That promise had been shattered.

 

Those who were glad to have joined the Righteous Alliance were now regretful. They did not expect that the Heavenslayers Alliance to be so domineering, that even dark beings dare not attempt to harass them.

 

Those dark beings would only target the weaker party, which was the Righteous Alliance.

 

Faced with the ferocious soldiers from the Heavenslayers Alliance, those from the Righteous Alliance could only retreat.

 

However, when dealing with dark beings, they had no choice but to fight until the end. The most violent wars happened outside the different embankments.

 

Blood turned into rivers and corpses were piled up like mountains. Destroyed weapons and corpses floated in the Starry Sky. Even the yellow sand had been dyed red with blood.

 

Innumerable dark beings were stationed in the distant universe. They were like an ocean that made everyone lose hope.
