I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 188
Chapter 188: Yue Mingkong’s plan for the human ancestor, clearing Gu Changge’s hidden trouble
The origin of the Absolute Heaven Extinction had always been a mystery in the upper realm. No one knew why it emerged or where it originated from.
However, the creatures emerging from it carried a terrifying Absolute Extinction energy, an eerie aura capable of eroding cultivators’ spirit and spiritual essence. Even powerful beings hesitated to come into contact with it, as it proved difficult to cleanse from one’s cultivation or true nature, akin to maggots on a bone.
Yue Mingkong knew that when the previous Absolute Heaven Extinction descended, it engulfed and consumed many lower realms. Its immense size caused turmoil in the upper realm. This upheaval prompted all the dao heritages and great sects to act, dispatching supreme beings to establish the True Immortal Academy and mobilizing the resources of each clan to cultivate true immortals in preparation.
There were no immortals in the upper realm, save for perhaps the oldest ancestors among the ancient families who had not stirred for countless years.
Yue Mingkong had heard tales of the Human Ancestor from Gu Changge in her previous life.
The Human Ancestor was said to have traversed through reincarnation and is regarded as one of the former founders of the world and among the most ancient sages of the human race. Alongside other former sages, the Human Ancestor laid the foundation for the human race and established immortal legacies, earning the highest reputation among them.
Each time the Absolute Heaven Extinction appeared, the reincarnated form of the Human Ancestor would awaken to quell the chaos and restore order.
In the past, the world teetered on the brink of upheaval when a demonic art inheritor threatened to overturn half of the upper realm, yet the Human Ancestor intervened and defeated the threat. The Human Ancestor’s numerous feats of averting catastrophe over the ages were countless, deserving the admiration and praise of future generations for eons to come.
Over countless years, the Human Ancestor had attained a quasi-religious status in the upper realm. Even the immortal sects, the venerable Dao lineages of old, would show absolute reference whenever the Human Ancestor was mentioned. While the younger generation might be unfamiliar with him, the awakening of the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation would strike despair into the hearts of his peers due to his terrifying cultivation speed, an unreachable pace towards becoming the strongest in the shortest time possible.
Regardless of how illustrious various clans and Dao lineages were, they would pale in comparison when facing the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor. Their brilliance dimmed in his presence. Throughout every era, the strength of the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation was unmatched by his contemporaries, a fact universally acknowledged.
Many speculated that the Human Ancestor pursued a unique path of cultivation, traversing the world through reincarnation, delving into the mysteries of Dao, heaven, and myriad states of existence.
Ultimately, it was believed he would transcend and ascend to an indescribable existence. The Dao heritage he left behind, the Hall of the Human Ancestor, had risen to become one of the most esteemed forces in the upper world.
While the Hall of Human Ancestor housed only a few cultivators, each one commanded immense respect and was treated as a dignitary in the outside world, with no one daring to show disrespect. However, the esteemed status of the Hall of Human Ancestors didn’t necessarily imply a more prosperous heritage than immortal families and sects. Yet, in cultivators’ minds, it held a significance akin to a sacred temple, demanding occasional reverence.
Based on memories from my past life, the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor in this era should originate from that corner of the lower realm.
Yue Mingkong’s gaze grew profound as she pondered.
Because once the reincarnated form of the Human Ancestor awoke, it would inevitably inherit the abilities and knowledge of its previous incarnations. At that point, Gu Changge’s identity as the inheritor of demonic arts would likely be exposed.
The events of this life had surpassed her expectations in many ways, even ahead of schedule. It was uncertain when the reincarnated Human Ancestor would emerge. Still, one thing was sure: the Human Ancestor possessed the means to uncover the demonic art inheritor’s identity, as demonstrated in the previous life.
However, during that time, Gu Changge wielded such immense power that even the heritage of the Human Ancestors had to tread carefully. Given the current trajectory, the Human Ancestor might emerge prematurely, while Gu Changge was still in the early stages of development, lacking the formidable strength of his previous life.
Confronting the Human Ancestor would put Gu Changge at a significant disadvantage, possibly even leading to a scenario where the entire world turned against him. This posed a grave threat to Gu Changge.
Mmm, Human Ancestor!
Yue Mingkong murmured, her eyes flashing with a cold, murderous aura. Various thoughts raced through her mind as she recalled the traits of the previous Human Ancestor, attempting to pinpoint their whereabouts.
Despite being revered and worshiped by countless cultivators and possessing unfathomable depths, they were considered enemies if the Human Ancestor threatened Gu Changge. Regardless of past or present, Yue Mingkong vowed to protect Gu Changge from harm, even if it meant seeking revenge herself.
“After spending some time in the Hall of the Human Ancestor, the descendants are certain to venture out into the world, searching for the reincarnated form of the Human Ancestor…”
Yue Mingkong had made a decision. The descendants of the Human Ancestor Hall remained shrouded in mystery; in the previous life, no one had glimpsed their true visage nor knew their gender. The inheritance of the Human Ancestor Hall was renowned for its enigmatic and potent nature, granting access to the Dao fruit.
This meant that the descendants of the Human Ancestor could all benefit from the Dao fruit bestowed by their predecessors. The descendant of the Human Ancestor Hall bore the responsibility of aiding the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation. Until the Human Ancestor reached maturity, they would be a covert adversary to Gu Changge.
The Human Ancestor was rumored to possess a Heavenly Green Lotus body, likely transformed by a Heavenly Green Lotus.
His initial step would involve defying innate constraints and reshaping his foundation, making this Heavenly Green Lotus crucial to him.
If I secure this Heavenly Green Lotus, the timing of the Human Ancestor’s return could be significantly delayed.
Various strategies raced through Yue Mingkong’s mind. Compared to her previous loss at Ye Ling’s hands, where he managed to escape, she now exercised greater caution. While her identity as a regressor afforded foresight, it didn’t guarantee absolute control over events. Ultimately, she needed Gu Changge’s mindset.
Before Gu Changge crosses paths with the Human Ancestor, I must facilitate a significant opportunity for him. My role is to delay the Human Ancestor’s interference.
Yue Mingkong remained composed, though her mind teemed with myriad scenarios. While confident, she refrained from acting recklessly, recognizing the terrible challenge posed by the Human Ancestor. Only if the Human Ancestor stood against Gu Changge would she dare provoke him.
That ancient being, reincarnated countless times, possessed far more resources than Gu Changge. Even contemplating it sent shivers down one’s spine. Snatching the Heavenly Green Lotus before the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation fully awakened seemed the best action, buying precious time.
However, Yue Mingkong resolved not to disclose her plans to Gu Changge, safeguarding him from potential entanglements with his ancestors. This served as an additional layer of protection for him.
Summon forth! Henceforth, decree that the Peerless Immortal Dynasty shall establish the Peerless Soldiers, welcoming talented individuals from across the realm.
Yue Mingkong issued her commands with determination, penning the decree with purpose.
With her current status and the might of the Unparalleled Immortal Dynasty, the news of establishing the Peerless Soldiers would undoubtedly draw countless creatures and cultivators. These soldiers were the formidable weapons Gu Changge had tasked her to prepare in her previous life, and they were rumored to be the inaugural weapons of the Peerless Immortal Dynasty.
Yue Mingkong vividly recalled the secret technique Gu Changge had imparted to her in her previous life—the method to train and control these Peerless Soldiers. The effects of this technique were terrifying, bordering on the demonic.
They could share damage amongst themselves and, at critical junctures, even share vitality. Initially, Yue Mingkong had found it unbelievable, attributing it to Gu Changge’s seemingly omnipotent abilities. However, upon reflection, she realized this secret technique was a fearsome form of demonic art—the Great Art of Birth and Creation.
Utilizing soldiers as a wellspring of power and longevity, they could manifest an authoritative and unparalleled divine force, rendering them invincible. Yet, excessive use of this technique would inevitably inflict irreversible damage upon their bodies and souls, ultimately reducing them to mindless killing machines—an outcome that Gu Changge seemingly desired.
In her previous life, the Peerless Immortal Dynasty was under Yue Mingkong’s control. Still, in truth, every decision and machination, including the plan to usurp the throne, had been orchestrated by Gu Changge from the shadows. He was the true mastermind behind it all.
In this life, I shall first create the Peerless Soldiers, and the Peerless Immortal Dynasty shall be renamed the First Immortal Dynasty.
Yue Mingkong declared, her eyes ablaze with divine light, exuding an aura of absolute beauty and immortality underpinned by an imposing majesty.
“At that moment, I shall proclaim to the heavens: ‘I am the sole emperor!’ ”
Considering her current status and the might of the Unparalleled Immortal Dynasty, once this news spread, it would undoubtedly attract countless creatures and cultivators. The Peerless Soldiers—this was the peerless weapon that Gu Changge had tasked her to prepare in her previous life. Furthermore, it was rumored to be the first weapon of the Peerless Immortal Dynasty.
Yue Mingkong still recalled the secret technique that Gu Changge had imparted to her in her previous life—how to train and control these peerless soldiers. The effects of this secret method were terrifying, resembling a more overt killing weapon. These soldiers could even share damage amongst themselves and, at crucial moments, share their vitality.
Initially, Yue Mingkong found it unbelievable, viewing Gu Changge as genuinely omnipotent. However, upon reflection, she realized this technique was undoubtedly a fearsome form of demonic art—the Great Art of Birth and Creation. By harnessing soldiers as a source of power and endless life, they could manifest an authoritative and unparalleled divine force, rendering them invincible. However, excessive use of this secret technique would inevitably inflict irreversible damage upon their bodies and souls, ultimately reducing them to mindless killing machines—an outcome seemingly desired by Gu Changge.
Gu Changge aimed to establish the world’s first immortal dynasty. In her previous life, the Peerless Immortal Dynasty appeared under Yue Mingkong’s control. However, all decisions, including the plan to seize the throne, were orchestrated by Gu Changge behind the scenes—he was the true puppet master.
“In this life, I shall first create the Peerless Soldiers, and the Peerless Immortal Dynasty shall be renamed the First Immortal Dynasty,” Yue Mingkong declared.
“Heaven, I am the sole emperor!”
In this moment, Yue Mingkong’s phoenix eyes shimmered with divine light, radiating the absolute beauty of immortality underscored by an awe-inspiring majesty.
As Yue Mingkong strategized the matter concerning the human ancestor, divine light surged within the Supreme Peak of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, and runes danced like waves. Gu Changge sat cross-legged. His presence was magnificent as he absorbed the immortal haze emitted by a sealed jade jar containing the immortal spirit.
Between his lips and nose, he drew in wisps of divine law chains akin to a fragment of a vast galaxy. Gu Changge devoured and refined these strands to enhance his strength. At this juncture, his cultivation in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Codex had already reached the late False God realm. Simultaneously, his demonic cultivation had ascended to the late stage of the Quasi-Sacred realm, nearing its pinnacle.
Despite occasionally indulging in hunts under the guise of the demonic art inheritor to seek out exceptional geniuses, Gu Changge also benefited from Yin Mei’s provision of abundant cultivation resources. He made steady progress without haste. In the latter stages of cultivation, his advancement speed was commendable—whereas older generations often secluded themselves for decades, only to perceive a faint glimmer of breakthrough.
Above his head, a Dao treasure bottle floated, emitting a dazzling array of five-color immortal light and chaotic energy cascading onto his body. Gu Changge remained steadfast like a mountain, embodying the aura of an ancient deity.
He swiftly refined one of the secret spells of the Immortal Devouring Demon technique.
“Gu Nanshan truly ventured to the Sea King’s Palace to settle scores. After encountering numerous obstacles from me, he must seek outlets to vent his frustration,” Gu Changge mused.
“The incident involving the Sea King’s Palace serves as a cautionary tale for other clans,” he reflected, recognizing its broader implications.
Soon, Gu Changge’s eyes flickered with a peculiar light. Everything unfolded according to his design. Gu Xian’er and Gu Nanshan disappointed him. Given Gu Nanshan’s temperament, it was inconceivable for him to tolerate provocation from the Sea King Palace.
“The ancestor of Gu Xian’er’s lineage ranks among the top cultivators within the entire Gu family. Even if Gu Nanshan isn’t at the pinnacle, he must possess considerable strength,” Gu Changge reasoned.
In recent days, he had dispatched his confidants to gather information about Gu Nanshan, enabling him to leverage this esteemed figure to his advantage.
Gu Changge preferred to operate from the shadows, patiently awaiting opportunities to reap the benefits. While the Ancient Immortal Gu Family boasted numerous old ancestors, their awakening was infrequent. Gu Nanshan’s emergence from seclusion was a rarity, signifying his formidable strength within the family.
Gu Changge believed Gu Nanshan remained terrible, potentially rivaling even his father, who stood at the pinnacle of the upper realm. The disparity in cultivation time was vast. Since Gu Changge divulged the hidden secrets of the past, including his lineage, many clan members, including Gu Nanshan, were likely to alter their stance toward him.
By standing up for Gu Xian’er, Gu Nanshan illustrated the Ancient Immortal Gu Family’s stance. This family, with its immense power, could obliterate any Dao heritage that dared to offend them, leaving nothing but ashes and severed legacies in its wake.
Thus, Gu Changge surmised that the Sea King Palace sought to provide Gu Xian’er with valuable experience. Moreover, behind her stood formidable masters. Even without Gu Changge’s intervention, Gu Xian’er’s life wouldn’t be in jeopardy.
Gu Changge cleverly utilized Gu Xian’er’s situation to bolster his image of justice. However, he harbored genuine concern for her well-being—despite her naivety, she remained his sister.
While he might tease her himself, he wouldn’t tolerate others bullying her. Any such transgressors risked facing his wrath, including the potential eradication of their entire clan. Indeed, bullying Gu Xian’er provided one of the few pleasures he allowed himself.
For Gu Changge, Gu Xian’er also served as a source of luck and destiny points, her connections with influential figures adding to her value. After addressing matters at the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, Gu Changge contemplated bringing Gu Xian’er back to his clan, thereby drawing out the influential figures supporting her. If executed effectively, this maneuver could provide him with a significant advantage.
Among these mysterious figures were the masters of the peach village and the enigmatic peach tree. Gu Changge eagerly anticipated encountering them, recognizing their potential for enhancing his power.
