I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 976: Gu Xian’er Returns, Paving the Way for Another Road

“Finally saw the sun, no need to stay in that damn place…”

The big red bird fluttered its wings, shouted excitedly, and rushed out of a wide crack.

Although this place was a little dark, you could still see faint sunlight, and it was not absolutely dark.

It was very exciting and the voice was a slightly immature girl’s voice, giving people a very crisp feeling.

During this period of time, staying in the depths of the Heavenly Tomb, there were gloomy black clouds floating everywhere, the sky and the earth were dark, without any light, like the legendary underworld.

There were still traces of war in many places, the ground was cracked, the sky and the earth were missing a corner from time to time, and they collapsed.

It couldn’t stand it for a long time and wanted to escape, but it was a pity that it couldn’t find the right space and time.

And just when the big red bird was shouting excitedly, a slim and slender figure also turned into a divine light, rushing out from a crack, with black hair flying in the air.

The girl’s facial features were picturesque, her black eyebrows were like willows, her slender waist was less than enough to grasp, and she was wearing a light blue long-sleeved long fairy dress, like an immortal in the cold world, detached and refined.

“Xian’er, I thought you would continue to cultivate in it…”

The big red bird looked at the girl, flapped its wings and landed, stood on her shoulders, and combed its feathers.

Gu Xian’er squinted her eyes, as if she wasn’t used to the glaring sunlight outside, her white and slender palms, as delicate as jade, blocked her eyes.

“I have been cultivating in the depths of the Heavenly Tomb for such a long time. It is useless to stay in it any longer. It is time to leave and go back outside.”

She shook her head and replied.

In the heavenly tomb, she obtained many opportunities left by her first life and also refined the original essence of the “Heaven” that had been buried.

Gu Xian’er’s current cultivation had reached an unfathomable level.

However, she hadn’t really fought against anyone yet, and she was not sure how strong she was now.

“That’s right, I persuaded you for a long time when you wanted to take the risk and enter the heavenly tomb, but luckily you were not affected by the distracting thoughts in the heavenly tomb. Some powerhouses refine into the incarnation of the Heaven, which contains all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts, and if one is not careful, it will cause inner demons and destroy the Dao.”

Da Hong nodded, and when he mentioned this, he still had some lingering fears.

During this trip to the heavenly tomb, Gu Xian’er indeed encountered the most terrifying danger since she was born. She almost died, and even the fire of life was almost ignited.

Although Gu Changge left her many precious life-saving things, they were of no avail in that disaster.

In the end, it was Gu Xian’er who burned her immortal bones and used immortality as firewood to achieve the third nirvana and realize the origin of life before she could survive.

However, this third nirvana also helped Gu Xian’er to successfully comprehend the power of reincarnation, birth, and death, and later condense the immortal king’s Dao fruit in one fell swoop.

The essence of the heavens she had absorbed had not been completely refined. Gu Xian’er herself estimated that if she completely refined it, she was expected to reach the peak of the Immortal King, and she could try to condense the light of the quasi-immortal emperor.

In the heavenly tomb, there was actually another advantage, that was, the flow of time in it was chaotic compared to the outside world.

Time flew very quickly in some places, and time flew very slowly in some places. It took several years for Gu Xian’er to achieve the third Nirvana alone.

While Gu Xian’er was talking with Da Hong, the crack in the heavenly tomb behind them was also slowly closing.

Only at a specific time and space, the heavenly tomb would appear, no matter how hard you search on weekdays, it was impossible to find the slightest trace.

“It’s time to go, but I don’t know how the outside world has been over the years.”

“Gu Changge, what are you doing now?”

Gu Xian’er’s face showed some thoughts, and before the big red bird could react, she grabbed it, tore open the space in front of her, and walked in.

Her current cultivation level could completely tear apart the universe and trek across nothingness.

Although the upper realm was vast, she could return to the place where the Divine Kingdom was originally located in just a few breaths.

By the way, Gu Xian’er used her spiritual thoughts to investigate the current situation in various places, and she was stunned when she got the news.

It turned out that after she went to the Heavenly Tomb, earth-shaking changes took place in the upper realm, and even the immortal and foreign realms were completely merged with the upper realm.

“I didn’t expect so many things to happen…”

Gu Xian’er was silent for a while and did not go to the Divine Kingdom immediately. According to the news, the Divine Kingdom and the Heavenly Court had been merged into the Heaven Slaying Alliance.

So, relying on her memory, she first went to Peach Village, which was located in the abandoned land of immortals.

In the beginning, Gu Changge used great magic power to move the Land of Abandoned Immortals to the border of the Divine Kingdom, which was not too far from where she was now.

Soon, Gu Xian’er walked out of the void, looking at the familiar Peach Village, with a smile on her face.

The changes in Peach Village were not great, but after a hundred years, some of the former children had become grandfathers and had grandchildren.

Her masters were all cultivators with strong cultivation bases. Due to the drastic changes in the environment of the world, their cultivation bases had improved a lot.

However, the peach tree outside the peach village was no longer as colorful as before, and many places showed signs of withering and no longer blooming.

And Yao Yao was still the same little girl as before, following the old people in the village.

However, she would come to the outside of the village from time to time, sitting on that stone pier, propping her chin, looking into the distance, as if she was waiting for someone to come.

She obviously looked like a child, but she had a melancholy sense of loss that didn’t match her age.

“Sister Tao Yao…”

Gu Xian’er did not show up immediately but stood outside the village for a long time. With her current cultivation, even if she walked in front of several masters, they would not notice her arrival.

But there, she didn’t feel Tao Yao’s aura, the peach tree seemed to have aged from the inside, showing signs of decay.

This surprised Gu Xian’er, it seemed that Tao Yao’s aura had completely disappeared many years ago.

“What happened? Why did Sister Tao Yao’s aura disappear from the Peach Village, and there was no trace of her in this world…”

“With Sister Tao Yao’s strength, it shouldn’t be like this.”

Gu Xian’er frowned and used her divine powers to calculate, trying to find the slightest aura and trace of Taoyao.

But no matter how she deduced, the final result was that Tao Yao seemed to have really evaporated from this world, and did not exist in any time, space, or latitude.

To Gu Xian’er, Tao Yao was like her elder sister, but also like her master, who often gave her advice when she was still young and taught her cultivation and exercises.

It could be said that Taoyao was one of her closest people.

“Why is this… why did sister Tao Yao disappear…”

Gu Xian’er’s joy of reunion suddenly dimmed. She stayed in place for a long time before she appeared and walked toward the Peach Village.

Yao Yao at the entrance of the village was originally listless, but the moment she looked up, she saw Gu Xian’er.

At first, she thought she was dreaming and rubbed her eyes.

“Sister Xian’er…”

When she saw clearly that it was really Gu Xian’er, the little girl immediately raised her eyebrows, jumped off the stone pier, and shouted, full of joy.

Hearing her voice, many villagers in the Peach Village were also alarmed and rushed out of the village.

The older village head, with a cane, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Xian’er.

“It seems that that guy didn’t lie to Xian’er.”

The old village chief shook his head, with a smile on his face, and walked out of the village.

These years Gu Xian’er was not in the Peach Village, but her younger sister Shen Xian’er would come over from time to time to visit them and gradually became acquainted with them.

After Shen Xian’er left the Heavenly Lan Realm, she traveled around the Upper Realm, and naturally, she also visited the place where her sister Gu Xian’er lived since she was a child.

And from Shen Xian’er’s mouth, all the villagers also learned that Gu Xian’er had been trapped in a certain place for a long time and was not in danger.

It’s just that Shen Xian’er asked this from Gu Changge, which inevitably made Gu Xian’er’s masters a little worried.

After all, no matter what, Gu Changge was an outsider in their eyes, and it was impossible to truly trust him. In addition, all the universes and ethnic groups were afraid of Gu Changge like ghosts and gods.

So sometimes, it was inevitable that people would have some bad guesses.

“Village chief, master, Yao Yao…”

Gu Xian’er’s face was filled with a smile, her steps were much lighter, and she reunited with everyone.

Although she was worried about Tao Yao, she didn’t show it.

In the eyes of the villagers, she would always be that innocent and kind little girl who would make people around her smile knowingly.

She didn’t want to bring these negative emotions to the villagers.

…

On the ancient warship of the Spiritual Realm, Gu Changge sat cross-legged on the slump and slowly opened his eyes at this moment.

Below him, Bone Ancestor, Wan Yanxiu, and others stood respectfully, as if they were waiting for his order.

“I’m afraid the Xudan realm will be vigilant. I didn’t expect that there are indeed many strong people in this real world.”

Gu Changge shook his head lightly, with a calm tone, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was telling Bone Ancestor and others.

Wan Yanxiu and the others were shocked and did not dare to answer.

This kind of thing like spanning hundreds of millions of time and space in an instant, and sweeping their thoughts across a powerful real world, they absolutely could not do.

The laws of heaven and earth in the powerful Realm would not allow them to do this.

Gu Changge ignored them, his eyes showed some thought.

If calculated according to the distance in the boundless sea, the Xudan Realm and this place were hundreds of millions of light-years apart, not counting the latitudes of multiple dimensions and different time-space in between.

Relying on the boundless coordinates given by Wan Yanxiu, Gu Changge only captured a vague outline.

The moment his thought came, the most powerful person in the Xudan realm had already noticed it and became alert.

“The resources of such a strong real world are abundant, but it is a pity that they are prepared and will make many countermeasures in advance…”

“It seems that we should not act too hastily, we have to eat slowly, and we cannot eat too much in one bite.”

Gu Changge gave up his plan to directly attack the Xudan realm.

One was that the distance was too far, and the current strength of the Spiritual Realm was far from enough to deal with the many losses in the middle.

The second was based on his current strength, although he could completely ignore the seventh decline and the eighth decline, the ancient cultivator of the ancestral Dao realm.

But it would still be a bit tricky to deal with the Ninth Decline, the existence that was about to be detached, and it might even cause a lot of unnecessary troubles.

The Great Calamity had not yet come, so there was no need to consider many things about the original world. But in the boundless world, there were many “old immortals” who had hidden from many calamities in the true sense.

Gu Changge didn’t want to overturn because of this and expose something in advance.

After all, his current body was not at the full-blown cultivation level of the demon lord when he walked the world. Gu Changge just refined that drop of true blood and absorbed a lot of cultivation bases, directly eliminating a series of tedious processes in the middle.

In other words, it was equivalent to absorbing the original power of the demon lord, so that he had the current strength.

And the body of the real demon lord was destroyed long after the calamity in the real world of mountains and seas.

So after “returning to the ordinary and entering the world”, Gu Changge had actually been paving the way for another road.

“In the Spiritual Realm behind your clan, how many fighters are available for battle today?”

Gu Changge withdrew his thoughts, looked at Wan Yanxiu, and asked.

Hearing this, Wan Yanxiu was slightly taken aback. Although he was the patriarch of the Spiritual clan, he never cared about these matters. He had always been cultivating and taking it as his duty to break through to a higher level.

What’s more, after the Spiritual realm was about to dry up, he left his homeland and trekked across the boundless sea with many powerhouses in the clan. He hadn’t contacted the people in the Spiritual Realm for a long time.

If Gu Changge hadn’t appeared this time, they would have descended to the Newborn Realm, started the grand sacrifice, and led the Spiritual Realm behind them to descend, devour this realm, and gain new life.

“My lord, I don’t know about this matter. I’m afraid I will know only by asking the emperor who is in charge of power in my family.”

Wan Yanxiu replied respectfully.

The group of powerhouses on the ancestral land of the Spiritual royal family, were all extremely senior existences, they were all cultivating on weekdays and rarely asked about the affairs of the ethnic group.

Only when some necessary important matters were involved, would they show up, order things down, and let the clansmen below follow suit.
