I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 757:

His primary concern was the existence of legends surrounding the Divine Ruins. Other alterations in this universe were relatively insignificant, not affecting his grand plan and strategies.

“Comparing the present to the past, many sects and ethnic groups have vanished into the annals of ancient history. Yet new ones have risen, and the birth of Dao-building experts remains unaffected.”

“Some planets have long since perished.The Zi Wei Dynasty, which he encountered during his previous visit to this universe, has faded into oblivion. With its ancestors failing to attain Dao-building expertise, there’s no legacy to follow.”

“However, the disappearance of the Zi Wei Dynasty paved the way for the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty to rise. It even surpassed the Zi Wei Dynasty in power at its zenith.”

“The founder of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty was a Dao-building expert who possessed the Immortal Phoenix bloodline and was known as Empress Huang Yu. In her early years, she stumbled upon the legendary Divine Ruins, where she encountered a supreme figure who taught her for thousands of years. After 800,000 years of painstaking cultivation, she ultimately established the dynasty.”

“It was evident that this development would significantly impact future generations. Huang Yu eventually achieved the imperial throne and founded a unique immortal dynasty.”

Gu Changge unearthed a wealth of valuable information, his spiritual senses sweeping numerous ancient planets, unearthing records of the little Immortal Phoenix’s journey. Many changes in various sects and powers were well within his expectations.

The Divine Ruins left a vibrant and colorful mark in this ever-evolving tapestry of history. Even now, cultivators and mighty beings relentlessly sought the remnants of the Divine Ruins, aiming to unlock the secrets of immortality.

The most powerful force in this universe was the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty. Empress Huang Yu was the first to ascend the throne after the extinction era, even beyond the Dark Fault.

Empress Huang Yu’s achievements were extraordinary, and many believed that her swift attainment of Dao-building experts had much to do with her accidental entry into the Divine Ruins. Without that incident, achieving Dao-building expertise would have taken her nearly a million years.

With the world’s changing environment and the depletion of immortal matter, the lifespan of Dao-building experts has dwindled significantly. Many sought the location of the Divine Ruins to uncover the Dao path to immortality and the extension of life.

There were numerous theories about the Divine Ruins. Some considered it a forbidden place from the era before the Dark Fault or even the Forbidden Era. The Divine Ruins were said to be linked to the mythical immortal realm, home to a towering tree named Jian Mu, which held the gate to immortality.

According to others, the Divine Ruins were remnants from the battle of two transcendent immortal beings who left the immortal palace in ruins. Countless treasures lay buried there. If someone finds it leads towards the rebirth of the cultivator.

However, the most compelling statement came from the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty. They claimed that the Divine Ruins had an enigmatic figure known as the Lord of the Divine Ruins, who established the Divine Ruins and planted a peach tree to guard a mysterious secret. This statement was widely spread throughout the universe and accepted by numerous cultivators.

After all, Empress Huang Yu, the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty’s founder, had entered the Divine Ruins by accident and emerged alive. She ascended to the throne in less than a million years; her cultivation speed was far beyond that of predecessors of the era. Her knowledge of the Divine Ruins surpassed all known to the world.

“Everything is unfolding as expected,” Gu Changge couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction. Following his own concealed traces, he discovered the Divine Ruins hidden on a particular planet. The numerous formations he placed remained intact despite the passage of countless years.

“This is… the trace left by her.”

“She returned to this place later,” Gu Changge noted, examining the ancient inscription left by Empress Huang Yu.

His presence outside the Divine Ruins revealed that she had not entered, likely due to his absence. She had left her mark here and eventually left, regretful about being unable to explore further.

“It appears she returned when her life was nearing its end.”

“What’s happening?” Gu Changge wondered as he noticed a blurry figure manifesting beside the stone tablet. The figure was Dressed in a feathered robe. He possessed a striking beauty but harboured sadness in her eyes.

The ancient planet was vast and home to numerous ethnic groups and powerful beings. Royal families and sects with Dao-building experts’ ancestors wielded imperial weaponry. There were also forbidden areas where enlightened individuals, with limited time remaining, concealed themselves. Although their cultivation surpassed the quasi-emperors, they needed to gain true Dao-building expertise.

The Divine Ruins, a vast realm, was cloaked in immortal mist. Majestic mountains and divine peaks rose from the ground, ancient and desolate. As Gu Changge entered, the surrounding formations emitted blinding brilliance, covering the entire sky and shaking the universe.

Instantly, a terrifying aura emanated from the area as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. Countless stars trembled, poised to descend upon this location. The ancient world’s aura weaved together, subduing the universe’s tremors.

With a deep gaze, Gu Changge retrieved the Epoch Tree from his inner universe and planted it at the heart of the Divine Ruins, using his supreme divine power. The resulting brilliance and power were like a sun, with countless rays and laws converging like an ocean.

It was an awe-inspiring and ancient tree, its trunk dwarfing the stars. The branches, though sparse, captured the starlight and bore the vast, chaotic aura. As they swayed, ancient worlds colliding echoed, deterring even Dao-building experts from approaching. The Epoch Tree had finally arisen.
