I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 191
Chapter 191: There is no one more talented than Wang Ziji in all ages. This is the so-called justice.
Throughout this time, the Immortal Ancient Continent remained in unrest. It was entangled in turmoil, warfare, and dread, never achieving the tranquility it once knew.
Just a few days ago, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace made a rare appearance, rushing to the location of the Immortal Ancient Dragon Clan. This ancient entity, derogatively termed a living fossil by some, possessed unfathomable and terrifying strength, enough to make even the bravest tremble.
No one knew the purpose of the Great Elder’s visit to the land of the Immortal Ancient Dragon Clan, nor did they understand why he ended up in combat with a clone of the Dragon clan’s ancestors. The ensuing battle sent shockwaves through all realms, shattering stars beyond the domain into cosmic dust.
The Great Elder’s assault was nothing short of earth-shattering, shaking the very foundations of heaven and unleashing a torrent of divine power that swept away everything in its path. Even when faced with the resurgence of the Dragon Clan ancestor’s clone, victory was inevitable, leaving Dragon Island, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, in ruins.
The aftermath lingered, instilling palpitations and trembling in the hearts of onlookers who dared not approach. Through this display of power, the Great Elder conveyed a message of unity among the Immortal Ancient clans, warning of further incursions by cultivators from beyond.
It was clear to the Immortal Ancient clans that a ruler was needed for this continent, which had endured since the Immortal Ancient Period. Though the Great Elder didn’t explicitly name the candidate, all knew it was tied to the current heir of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace.
This young man’s identity wasn’t a mystery to the Immortal Ancient clans. Gu Changge’s recent actions sparked outrage among many Immortal clans, further exacerbating tensions and anxieties.
The power represented by Gu Changge sent chills down the spines of those who discovered its implications, filling them with fear. Now, with the Great Elder also supporting Gu Changge, the situation seemed unbelievable. The notion of Gu Changge aspiring to unify the immortal ancient clans sent shockwaves through the realms, leaving many appalled yet puzzled.
It was difficult to comprehend how a young man like Gu Changge could single-handedly alter the fate of the Immortal Ancient Continent. Such aspirations seemed unrealistic unless he had the backing of formidable forces like the Ancient Immortal Gu family or the Divine Sect of the absolute beginning.
Despite the abundance of resources at the top, navigating the treacherous landscape of the Immortal Ancient Continent required caution, as even a minor misstep could prove fatal.
While many Dao sects entertained similar ambitions, none moved with the swiftness exhibited by Gu Changge, leaving countless cultivators stunned. The Immortal Ancient Continent boasted numerous clans with ancient lineages dating back to the Immortal Ancient Period. Apart from the feathered clan’s subjugation, the remaining clans had largely escaped substantial impact and loss.
Despite the increasing influx of Dao heritages into the Immortal Ancient Continent, figures like the old ancestor Gu Nanshan of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family wielded immense power, swiftly quelling any resistance.
“The Great Elder has granted the Immortal Ancient Dragon Clan half a month for deliberation. If they fail to respond within that time, they will face the formidable suppression of the Great Elder,” Wang Wushuang remarked.
“Given the Immortal Ancient Dragon Clan’s significance to other clans, surrendering would likely lead to a domino effect among the others.”
“Gu Changge certainly knows how to play his cards with the Great Elder,” he added.
Amid a continuous mountain range, numerous colossal ancient warships hovered in the sky, enveloped in a golden mist reminiscent of immortal soldiers from mythology. Standing on one such warship was Wang Wushuang, heir to the Ancient Immortal King Family. His golden eyes exuded a stunning allure, while beside him stood an elderly figure from the Ancient Immortal King Family, their hunched form belied by a formidable aura.
Upon learning of the Gate of Immortality’s appearance, this elderly figure journeyed to the Immortal Ancient Continent in search of opportunities. However, his efforts had yielded little, nearly costing him his life in the process. Instead of departing the Ancient Immortal Continent, he chose to remain by Wang Wushuang’s side, hoping to navigate the tumultuous waters alongside him and perhaps secure some gains.
This Gu Changge is quite a cunning strategist. By leveraging the pretext of seeking justice, he not only quelled the Feathered clan but now aims to exert control over all the clans of the Immortal Ancient Continent.
The old demonic figure sighed, expressing admiration and curiosity for such a young individual.
“Indeed,” Wang Wushuang concurred.
“Among the younger generation, aside from the ancient monsters from other realms or the inheritor of demonic arts, few are qualified to challenge him. As for Gu Changge’s current cultivation level, it remains a mystery.”
Shrouded in dense fog, Wang Wushuang’s form appeared enigmatic, with only his golden pupils occasionally flashing with runes, seemingly capable of piercing through all illusions. He nodded solemnly, acknowledging Gu Changge’s formidable prowess. Despite his reputation for invincibility, Wang Wushuang couldn’t shake a sense of trepidation when contemplating a confrontation with Gu Changge.
“Gu Changge may be powerful, but he’s not unbeatable. Wushuang, have you forgotten about your sister? She should have emerged into the world recently and returned to the clan,” the old demon remarked, his smile tinged with intrigue as he brought up Wang Wushuang’s mysterious sister.
My sister?
Wang Wushuang’s expression momentarily froze as a flurry of memories rushed through his mind like lightning.
In truth, Wang Wushuang remained deeply curious about his incredibly mysterious sister. It was said that due to her unparalleled talent at a very young age, she was chosen by the Human Ancestor Hall and departed for cultivation. More than twenty years had passed, yet she had not returned to the clan. Consequently, many clan members, even some senior figures of the Ancient Immortal King Family, were unaware of her existence.
Only recently did Wang Wushuang learn of his sister’s existence from a clan elder. He discovered that she had been cultivating in the Human Ancestor Hall, and now, with her cultivation presumably complete, she was poised to return to the clan.
“Is my sister powerful?”
Wang Wushuang finally voiced his curiosity.
“Is she solid?” The old demon smiled lightly and shook his head gently.
“Briefly describing your sister as ‘very strong’ would be an insult. Her talent is said to be unparalleled throughout the ages.”
“You should know that when your sister was born, her arrival was heralded by celestial sounds that echoed for a million miles, with the dao resonating incessantly for three days, leading many cultivators to enlightenment,” the old demon continued.
“She even purportedly devoured the essence of several star fields, born as a goddess. However, with great determination, she chose to self-limit her cultivation…”
“This event shook several ancient ancestors from their seclusion,” the old demon added.
“They took drastic measures, concealing celestial opportunities and suppressing heavenly phenomena to prevent other supreme dao heritages, immortal sects, and powers from detecting her.”
“Many clan members who were privy to this information also sealed away their memories, fearing that knowledge of your sister’s extraordinary talent might attract assassination attempts,” the old demon concluded, his admiration evident, leaving Wang Wushuang dumbfounded. Even someone of his stature couldn’t help but stare in disbelief.
“Born as a goddess? What does that even mean?” Wang Wushuang wondered, grappling with the enormity of the revelation.
One had to grasp the astonishing contrast between his formidable talent, having only reached the False God realm, and his sister’s unfathomable achievement of attaining the Sacred realm at birth. It was a staggering revelation that he had not heard from the lips of the old demon within his clan. He would have dismissed it as incredible. The sheer magnitude of this revelation left him trembling and completely immobilized.
It’s no wonder the clan kept my sister’s existence hidden. The repercussions of such news would surely dwarf even the current turmoil.
Wang Wushuang murmured, his admiration for his unknown sister burgeoning within him.
“Indeed, many clan members sealed their memories of this matter. Your sister’s existence has always been shrouded in secrecy,” the old demon affirmed.
“While Gu Changge may exhibit demonic tendencies, there are entities in this world even more demonic than him. Even if Gu Changge surpasses her in strength, your sister may still prove to be his superior,” the old demon speculated.
I recall hearing a few years back that she was on the cusp of entering the God King realm, and now she likely isn’t far from the Sacred realm.
Wang Wushuang gasped audibly, his eyes widening in astonishment at the revelation that his sister had been on the verge of entering the God King’s realm years ago. The magnitude of her power was truly incomprehensible.
At that moment, he grasped why the clan elders, seemingly indifferent to him as an heir, focused solely on concealing his sister’s existence. His purpose seemed merely to provide cover for her.
Yet, he could not resent his sister for her extraordinary abilities. Instead, a bitter smile tugged at his lips. After all, who could blame him for being less talented than his sister?
“It appears the rumors surrounding my sister’s departure from home were quite widespread,” Wang Wushuang remarked with a sigh.
The old demon nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, it’s peculiar. Your sister was born without a fuss, unlike other infants. It’s as if she possessed wisdom from a past life. Even the ancient ancestors were perplexed by her nature, unable to discern her true essence…”
As he recounted this, the old demon’s expression grew tangled, conveying a sense of bewilderment that lingered within him. The memory remained vivid in his mind.
Like a delicate powder pecking jade, exquisitely flawless, she crouched, her mouth opening and closing, profoundly impacting those around her. These memories etched themselves deeply into Wang Wushuang’s mind, fueling his curiosity about his sister.
“By the way, clan elder, what is my sister’s name?”
Wang Wushuang inquired, his fascination growing.
His query elicited an unexpected expression from the clan elder, who revealed with a smile, “Your sister? Her name is Wang Ziji. You’ll likely meet her soon. And very soon, her name will shake the entire upper world.”
Meanwhile, a lofty palace amidst the clouds stood in the heavenly domain of the upper realm, nestled within the heart of the most ancient and prosperous frontier. Magnificent and sacred, it exudes an aura akin to an immortal palace adorned with flawless white jade tiles, eaves crafted from millions of gold sandalwood, and pavement laid with pure obsidian starstone. Resplendent yet simple, majestic yet solemn, the palace emanated a thick sea of immortal Qi, reminiscent of an immortal land.
Overlooking the endless ancient city below, the palace rose and fell with the rhythm of the celestial bodies, its interwoven runes reflecting the stars of the heavens, reminiscent of the supreme God’s throne. A colossal immortal plaque adorned the temple door, its immortal gold base inscribed with three ancient words: the Human Ancestor Hall. Thousands of silver threads converged upon this sacred place, representing the great merits of the human ancestor.
Within the hall, a beautiful woman dressed in flawless white, her face veiled, cultivated with closed eyes. A blurred shadow of an immortal, grand and mysterious, seemed to chant behind her, transcending time and space. Her fair and delicate complexion, eyebrows resembling paintings, and eyes akin to flawless black gems radiated a mesmerizing luster.
However, her demeanor remained remarkably calm, devoid of any discernible emotion. It was as if she had shed her seven emotions and six desires, embodying an otherworldly serenity.
“Enlighten the Holy Maiden, Sage Ziji has departed from the Heavenly Domain and is en route to her clan,” reported a pair of individuals who materialized behind the woman in white.
“Wang Ziji, indeed, she has left clandestinely,” the woman in white remarked, her expression momentarily betraying a hint of surprise. Yet, her countenance quickly returned to its tranquil state, undisturbed by the revelation.
“What else did she convey?” the white-clothed woman inquired dispassionately.
“Holy Maiden, Sage Ziji left a message indicating her disinterest in seeking the reincarnation of the human ancestor. She emphasized that her initial arrival here for cultivation was purely coincidental and against her will,” the woman reporting continued. “Furthermore, she expressed her desire to relinquish the position of the Holy Maiden. Instead, she wishes to return home to choose a partner of her own accord and marry.”
The woman’s report carried a tinge of embarrassment and unease, understandably so given the unconventional nature of Sage Ziji’s message. Such sentiments, voiced by another heir of the Human Ancestor Hall, would undoubtedly tarnish their reputation if overheard by outsiders. However, considering the Holy Maiden’s usual demeanor during cultivation, these declarations did not seem entirely out of character.
However, the casual mention of marriage, so natural in her speech, could only come from Wang Ziji. She alone held the authority to broach such subjects.
“Wang Ziji may have her thoughts, but such matters cannot be left to her discretion. Once she enters the Human Ancestor Hall, she is bound to its service for life, tasked with aiding the Human Ancestor in restoring peace to the world. That is her duty and obligation,” the woman in white remarked, shaking her head with indifference. Even in her simplicity, it was evident that she possessed lofty ideals and great pride.
Though her words seemed straightforward, they conveyed a sense of superiority. Among the numerous young talents within the Ancestor Hall, none had captured her attention. Despite the vastness of the world beyond, few geniuses could rival those within the Human Ancestor Hall.
A hazy fog enveloped the woman in white as she spoke, obscuring her form entirely. Even her voice became indistinct, shrouding her gender in ambiguity. In this lifetime, the heirs of the Human Ancestor Hall were both women, a concept once deemed unimaginable. Yet, due to their extraordinary abilities, they were elevated to dual heirs.
Whether it was Wang Ziji of the Ancient Immortal Wang Family or the white-clad woman named Jiang Chuchu, both were unparalleled talents of their time. Jiang Chuchu, within the Human Ancestor Hall, was regarded as one of the elder generation’s formidable figures, possibly even a reincarnation of an ancient immortal. Although Wang Ziji possessed strength, overcoming Jiang Chuchu would prove to be a formidable challenge.
As per the prophecies, the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor is expected to emerge into the world. It seems I must depart from this place as well.
Jiang Chuchu mused, her calm expression betraying her inner thoughts. Not every era bore witness to the appearance of the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation. The foremost duty of the heirs of the Human Ancestor Hall was to safeguard their reincarnation until they reached maturity and assisted in their growth.
Assisting the Human Ancestor in awakening his memories, becoming the most influential figure of his era, and safeguarding the world and its inhabitants became Jiang Chuchu’s paramount goal.
“The reappearance of the inheritor of the demonic arts in this era is sure to sow chaos. On my journey to locate the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor, I must locate the inheritor of the demonic arts first and neutralize the threat,” Jiang Chuchu resolved within herself, embodying a sense of justice that prioritized the well-being of the populace and the eradication of harm.
If Gu Changge were present, he would undoubtedly recognize this as the epitome of justice.
Meanwhile, a loud boom echoed through the heavens as a formidable pressure descended, akin to a vast mountain sea seeking to crush all beneath it. The skies quaked, the earth trembled, and darkness engulfed the land like a supreme entity descended from the cosmos to enact annihilation.
Yet, the overwhelming aura seemed to recoil in the next instant, dissipating like a receding tidal wave, leaving the heavens in eerie calm.
Within the ancestral hall of the Divine Crocodile Clan, Gu Changge stood with arms folded, wearing a smirk as he faced the horrified countenance of the clan’s elder.
“Are you also seeking death?” he taunted.
“Sir Gu, you speak out of turn. I implore your kindness…”
The quasi-supreme realm elder of the Divine Crocodile Clan stammered, his face pallid and beads of sweat forming on his brow.
Behind him, the clan members mirrored his fear and despair, their countenances drained of color as they faced the intimidating presence of Gu Changge.
They hadn’t anticipated that even the quasi-supreme realm elder of the Divine Crocodile Clan would find himself powerless against Gu Changge upon rushing to the scene. His very life now lay at Gu Changge’s mercy. This was no longer a mere display of intimidation but a stark realization that their lives were firmly within his grasp.
“Because you still hold utility for me, I’ll spare your life. But mark my words: if there’s a next time, you won’t be the sole casualty. Your entire clan will suffer alongside you,” Gu Changge declared with a chilling smile, his words dripping with cold menace.
The natural yet menacing tone struck fear into the hearts of all the members of the Divine Crocodile Clan, who hastened to speak, their voices trembling, “From this day forth, we pledge to regard the young master as our Lord.”
In their current predicament, they faced a stark choice: submit or face certain death. Without hesitation, they chose submission.
Despite the simplicity of Gu Changge’s words, their impact was profound. Countless individuals who had dared to challenge him in the past had met their demise in a manner both swift and irreversible. Gu Changge believed it imperative for the Divine Crocodile Clan to grasp this reality; otherwise, they might harbor illusions of breaking free from his influence.
For Gu Changge, appearing in such a manner required absolute certainty. After all, his Immortal Binding technique was not contingent upon one’s cultivation level.
