Chapter 1159: Time is the most significant force, changge
In the current upper realms, chaos and uncertainty were the daily themes. Virtually every starfield forces sought ways to seal their mountains, viewing it as the last resort and choice.
The emergence of the Dark Heaven swiftly swept through with terrifying speed, causing widespread fear.
Facing this mysterious force with true immortals at its helm, almost no forces could remain unshaken.
Even the most ancient and enduring immortal forces chose to retreat to their ancestral lands, sealing themselves within small worlds and no longer meddling in the affairs of the upper realms.
During this period, as the Dark Heaven manifested and numerous powerhouses appeared, many were familiar faces to the denizens of the upper realms.
These included the Reincarnated Heaven Lord, leaders of some business alliances, masters of immortal sects, and patriarch of immortal clans, among others.
Yet, the true ident.i.ty of the Lord of the Dark Heaven remained unknown, and no one had seen his true face. What was known was that due to his existence, countless forces and ancient stars perished, disappearing from the world.
This mysterious figure was ruthless, leaving an unknown number of profound individuals dead. Some forces that had sealed themselves off were filled with dread, fearing reprisals.
Even the ancient beings within their respective forces went to the Kun Ji Universe in an attempt to find the opportunity to transcend into immortality. Yet, without a doubt, they all met tragic ends there.
For the entire upper realm, it was a catastrophe. However, from another perspective, the emergence of the Dark Heaven restored order. The once turbulent upper realm, experiencing upheaval due to environmental changes, began to evolve towards stability.
However, there were signs of decline in the previously prosperous starfield universes. Many forces, including the immortal sects, ancient clans, and even Buddhist temples, chose to withdraw and relocate.
The ancient Heavenly Emperor Mountain, with its profound heritage, was obliterated during this period. Several individuals from the Everlasting Gu Clan, wielding immortal treasures, attacked and dismantled the mountain. The Heavenly Emperor Mountain, guarded by one background figure, had no resistance and crumbled in just a few days.
Many forces, including the Endless Fire territory, felt a chill down their spines. Previously, they had expressed hostility towards the Gu Clan.
When Heavenly Emperor Mountain was destroyed, many believed it was retaliation for an ambush the mountain had ordered during the wedding of Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong.
In this time of calamity, unexpected tranquility seemed to envelop the Gu Clan, the Peerless Immortal Dynasty, and other major forces.
They did not intervene, leaving many to sign with admiration but also stirring suspicions and speculations. After all, Gu Changge’s whereabouts remain unknown, and some guessed he was in seclusion within the Gu Clan, attempting to ascend to an upper realm.
Indeed, the environmental upheaval in the upper realms is drastic. It may return to the conditions reminiscent of ancient times in a few hundred years.
However, some suspect Gu Changge might be connected to the Dark Heaven. The background figures who escaped from the Kun Ji Universe and returned to the upper realms share such sentiments. Yet, needing concrete evidence, what use would it serve even if it were proven that Gu Changge was a.s.sociated with them?
The world was not short of clever individuals, and some ancient beings within immortal teachings have speculated from various signs.
Given the all-encompa.s.sing influence of the Dark Heaven in the upper realms, its deliberate avoidance of forces a.s.sociated with Gu Changge is conspicuous.
As the reincarnation of the supreme being from the forbidden era, Gu Changge’s ident.i.ty was shrouded in mystery.
Even the red-robed female demoness, who nearly ma.s.sacred the upper realms and was once his disciple, is a fragment of his past. The terror of his true origins remains unknown.
Within these forces, some have long suspected a connection between Gu Changge and the mastermind orchestrating the upheaval in the upper realms.
However, they choose to feign ignorance and avoid such matters due to the terrifying consequences of meddling in these affairs.
Time pa.s.sed, and decades had elapsed since the disaster in the Kun Ji Universe. The upper realms were changing, and certain clans and forces were flourishing, showing signs of prosperity.
The calamity in the Kunji Universe had become a recorded chapter in the annals of the upper realms—a dark period that nearly led to the withering of the entire realm.
In the decades that followed, the upper realm gradually stabilized. The Dark Heaven thrived, boasting one hundred and eight divine generals, all achieving the Dao-building expertise.
With various starfields lords and prominent figures, they commanded hundred and thousands races and showed signs of unifying the upper realms. Many universal forces began affiliating themselves with the Dark Heaven.
Some influential figures within the universe openly declared themselves followers of the Lord of the Dark Heaven. They claimed to have received gifts from the Lord during their youth and sought to join the Dark Heaven in service after soaring to great heights.
This transformation—from destruction to recovery, then to the emergence of vitality, followed by flourishing, and finally reaching extreme prosperity—left observers in awe of the remarkable journey.
In bygone years, there were terrible individuals with various const.i.tutions. Though many star fields turned into ruins due to the disaster in the Kun Ji Universe, the power of time is genuinely remarkable.
Numerous “Sacred Seedlings” from ancient, primordial, and mythical eras have emerged, akin to a dazzling display of flowers and sparkling stars.
People once believed that opening the path to immortality would usher in the most powerful golden age in history.
Little did they know it would become a tragic calamity. Before the Kun Ji disaster, many universes were shattered, races and forces were ma.s.sacred, facing great chaos and nearing destruction.
In this era, post-Kun Ji disaster, stability has returned, and it is an exceptionally brilliant age. The changed heavenly environment was incredibly conducive to cultivation.
Despite severe losses suffered by various races and forces, the Kunji disaster helped mend the incomplete immortal rules of the upper realm, making them whole.
Numerous exceptional talents are eager to compete, with some achieving the quasi-supreme realm, acc.u.mulating strength and shocking many starfields. This achievement, which would have been unimaginable over a decade ago, has become a reality.
Even those peers of Gu Changge from over a decade ago, such as Heavenly Phoenix Maiden and others, are currently stuck in the sacred realm. This previously low-key young talent has now attracted the attention of countless individuals.
Just the quasi-supreme realm, nothing particularly astonishing.
I’ve already become a supreme being.
In a beautiful peach village, a slender and immortal young girl wrinkled her nose, dismissing the news with a snort.
In these years, you’ve consumed so many elixirs. Even a pig could become a Dao-building expert. What’s there to be proud of?
A white-clad young man beside her chuckled, tapping her on the head.
Annoying.
Don’t think that you can bully me just because you’ve become an immortal.
Gu Xian’er glared at him, muttering complaints about Gu Changge. The resentment still ran deep.
