Chapter 263: Brother Gu is realistic, perhaps the bottle can be allowed to evolve a bit
Let alone Jiang Chuchu, even Wang Zijin couldn’t help but be stunned upon hearing Gu Changge’s words.
“You…”
Jiang Chuchu stared into his eyes, as her own widened uncontrollably.
In contrast, Gu Changge’s expression was like water, calm without the slightest ripple.Everyone could feel the indifference from his stone heart.
“What? Would you like me to repeat it?”
He stared at Jiang Chuchu again, his tone unhurried, “If you want to die, don’t die in front of me.”
“Or did you really think that I came to save you?”
“Ridiculous. What kind of fantasies are going on inside your head? Must I repeat myself? Jiang Chuchu, do you think your death means anything to me?”
With an arrogant face and an even ruder tone, he practically pointed his finger at her and scolded her for having some… headcanons.
“Gu Changge, you scumbag–”Jiang Chuchu couldn’t help but grit her teeth in response, her body trembling slightly, her face full of hate as her expression grew colder.
She really did think that Gu Changge was here to save her.
From what she knew of him, they got along well enough before. Maybe he did care at one point.
Surely it would’ve been impossible for him to ignore her death, right?
Wrong, Gu Changge was merciless.
After tearing her fantasies asunder, he immediately got rid of any of her chances to save face.
After all, if she truly did die, then that just meant there were now less people who knew of Gu Changge’s true identity.
Gu Changge couldn’t be happier.
“I am indeed a scumbag, so are you done?”
“You can go now; you’re ruining the view.”
“I swear, I’ve never met anyone as stupid as you. Could it be that there’s some sort of curse that prevents you from utilizing your brain?”
Gu Changge cut her off mid-sentence, showing not a hint of emotion.
“You… you dare to-”
Jiang Chuchu suddenly froze.
For a time, she felt… dazed. Originally, she thought to hurl a few curses at Gu Changge, but in the end, she couldn’t help but swallow them.
In her heart, there was an incredulous sense of grievance.
Did he truly have the right to scold her? Wasn’t this whole thing his fault to begin with?
But at this time, Gu Changge was too lazy to care about her.
As he gazed into the abyss-like rift in the distant sky, a flicker of black and white shone in his eyes.
Under the power of reincarnation, the terrifying and turbulent grey All-Devouring Qi became thinner and thinner, accompanied by shadows and silhouettes.
Apart from a large number of creatures that were contaminated by the All-Devouring Qi, there was a horrific crack that stretched across the area, like a wound between heaven and earth.
The aura of All-Devouring Qi leaked from it.
Gu Changge’s predictions were correct.
This Heavenly Abyss did lead to the true All-Devouring Sky, but it was only a small part, a millionth of the true horror that was the All-Devouring Land.
His plan was to go there and see if he could refine this small piece of All-Devouring Sky first.
Now the only obstacle left to deal with were the endless number of All-Devouring Spirits that resided within it. Going by the number of beings in the Sacred Realm alone, they already numbered quite considerably.
And thanks to Jiang Chuchu, a few of these Sacred Realm beings were drawn here, wrapped in an incredibly potent amount of All-Devouring Qi.
“Brother Gu is realistic.”
It was at that moment when Wang Zijin, who was busy eating melons1*Indicates listening to some hot news or gossipy incident., muttered softly under her breath.
She didn’t expect Gu Changge to say such a thing.
There must be more to the situation just now. Otherwise, Gu Changge wouldn’t have said such words to Jiang Chuchu.
Initially, she believed that Gu Changge would comfort Jiang Chuchu with soft, silk-like words.
But given such an answer, even Wang Zijin was shocked. She couldn’t help but admire him for it.
A peerless beauty, one that could topple a nation with her looks alone, was scolded in such a manner.
It was simply incomprehensible.
If it were her, she would have gone up to Jiang Chuchu and hugged her, consoling with her sweet and gentle words…
However, it would appear that Gu Changge’s approach is quite useful. After all, wasn’t Jiang Chuchu perfectly calm right now?
But still, Wang Zijin was curious…
Why were these two so familiar with one another when they’d only met twice?
‘Sadly, I doubt either one would give me a straight answer…’
At this moment, suddenly, along with a heavenly divine light, a monstrous sword aura emerged right in front of them, like a mountain peak that broke through the sky.
Wisps of sword light bloomed from the heavens and the earth, as if hundreds of millions of divine swords came from all directions, cutting directly into the terrifying grey fog ahead.
The sky was torn apart, and the eight directions trembled.
The vast swathes of All-Devouring Spirits, under this aura, were like snow meeting the scorching sun.
Before they could even let out screams, they turned to ashes in an instant, vanquished, as both body and spirit were destroyed.
The terrifying creature that had just stretched out its palm couldn’t help but scream, its rotten blood falling from the heavens and bathing the earth, corroding wherever and whatever it landed on.
With a thud, not even the void itself was spared, as it corroded into an astonishingly large hole.
Such a sight was so astonishing that ordinary Sacred Realm cultivators would dare not approach.
Wang Zijin and Jiang Chuchu couldn’t help but be stunned.
Beneath this abyss, Gu Changge walked away, his body dazzling with colourful divine light, wrapped in a thick chaotic mist, like a young god.
At this moment, many terrifying visions appeared beside him, a real dragon bowing its head, an immortal phoenix dropped its wings, as the universe broke, while thousands of calamities were reduced into nothingness.
Beneath the surface, they could see… a faint, mysterious, yet vast world emerging from within him, where immortal trees stood tall, as well as boundless divine mountains and immortal lakes.
As he took a step forward, a golden passage spread out from under Gu Changge’s feet, as the power of the vast Laws extended to the crack in the sky.
Buzz!
Behind him, many golden Dao treasures unfolded, and among them, densely packed divine weapons and Sacred-grade Artifacts appeared.
Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, bells and cauldrons, mirrors, seals… their divine power surged with uncontained and unparalleled might, slaughtering the All-Devouring Spirits all around them.
A new battle began to unfold, one that was far more terrifying than Jiang Chuchu’s.
There were a countless number of All-Devouring spirits that swarmed in front of him…
“Scram!”
Gu Changge shouted softly, his expression indifferent and calm, as Divine Weapons emerged above his head, as the power of the Laws descended upon them.
And so, with a just and dignified presence, he struck the All-Devouring Sky’s minions without fear!
Not one of them even got close to him, blown apart by his terrifying Qi mid-air.
“Gu Changge…”
Seeing this, neither of the two could figure him out.
Wang Zijin had a look of surprise, as she wondered whether she was wrong about Gu Changge all along.
“What on earth is Gu Changge going to do? Isn’t this exactly what Jiang Chuchu was trying to do earlier? But to fight against the All-Devouring Spirits… they’re endless…”
“Is he crazy? Does he really think that he’ll be able to solve this? Even the ancients would avoid it like one would a snake or a scorpion!”
“This is suicide!”
Wang Zijin was shocked, unable to grasp the reason behind Gu Changge’s actions.
She viewed Gu Changge as a narcissist who avoided doing anything that wasn’t profitable.
The dangers represented by the All-Devouring Sky didn’t need to be explained.
The All-Devouring Sky’s Battlefield they encountered before, was only caused by some of the aura leaking out.
The danger represented by the true All-Devouring Sky likely far exceeded the danger represented by the All-Devouring Sky’s Battlefield.
As such, wouldn’t it make sense for Gu Changge to avoid it, just like everyone else who feared being infected?
‘It seems that Brother Gu and I think differently. People like him are not completely selfish, and still have righteousness in them…’
Wang Zijin couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for Gu Changge.
2Samael: MAKE UP YOUR MIND, DAMN IT.
With this display alone, none of the younger generation could possibly be Gu Changge’s match, even if they were to beat the horse.
As a transmigrator, she couldn’t understand Gu Changge’s feelings for this world.
But it didn’t affect her admiration for Gu Changge.
She simply lacked the courage…
‘Brother Gu is not a reckless person. Since he dares to do this, he must be confident in his abilities…’
Although Wang Zijin was worried, she had no choice but to wait.
Contrary to what Wang Zijin thought, even Jiang Chuchu was stunned.
In her opinion, Gu Changge is an indifferent and heartless devil, someone who only did wicked things.
How could he take it upon himself to guard this world?
As for the possibility of him actually stopping the All-Devouring Sky’s descent? That was simply impossible.
However, he chose to do it anyway. In the eyes of these two descendants from the Human Ancestral Hall, he was here to stop the coming disaster.
“Why? Gu Changge, why are you doing this…”
Jiang Chuchu was stunned, her eyes widened, she couldn’t understand.
In the end, she thought of the most probable and most trembling possibility.
Maybe he really was doing this for her…
Maybe he only scolded her because he was worried.
3Mohking: Ah shit here we go again¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Given his temperament, perhaps this was simply his own unique way of showing his anger and worry.
As she thought of this, Jiang Chuchu couldn’t help but bite down on her lips.
Her cold expression from before was nowhere to be seen now.
Gu Changge may be a hard-mouthed, ruthless scoundrel, but he was warm inside. To her, his intentions were clear as day (not).
Jiang Chuchu had an extremely complicated look on her face, as she remembered the time when Gu Changge imprisoned her in his Inner World.
He was the same at that time too. In the end, it was because of her actions that he ultimately grew disappointed and lost his patience.
Perhaps that’s why he spoke such harsh words, for there was nothing left between the two…
“Gu Changge…”
For a time, she felt so… confused. She clearly hated him. No, she wanted him to die.
Maybe then there would be one less scumbag in this world.
So why does she worry about him?
‘Jiang Chuchu! As a descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall, how can you be so emotional over the devil himself?’
‘You and him are destined to stand on opposite sides.’
She recited the Heart Clearing Mantra silently in her heart, trying to calm herself down, but all the things she had learned after practising Dao for so many years seemed to be useless at this moment.
She simply felt lost…

[In the depths of the All-Devouring Sky]
Gu Changge’s expression seemed a little intrigued.
By now, he had already vaguely guessed the thoughts of the two people outside.
After all, he did it on purpose, whether it was Jiang Chuchu or Wang Zijin.
It was impossible to guess his true purpose.
Since ancient times, when the All-Devouring Sky came, the cultivators’ first reaction was to run away.
Who would dare to enter?
Not to mention that the All-Devouring Sky was as dangerous as some forbidden places.
Naturally, that leaves just one plausible conclusion: he was here to prevent the appearance of the All-Devouring Sky.
‘It’ll be good if you think about it that way, it saves me the trouble…’
Gu Changge’s mouth couldn’t help but show a little smile.
Afterwards, with a wave of his hand, several divine weapons emerged, bursting with terrifying divine might, slaughtering a second wave of Spirits.
He stepped towards them.
The closer he got, the more powerful the creatures he encountered, creatures who have long since lost their spirituality, whose only purpose was to now kill and destroy.
The aura of All-Devouring Qi here was very strong.
Sacred Realm cultivators would also be corroded the moment they come in. If they dared to stay here, they were bound to be affected.
That said, the effects were miniscule on his own body.
At this moment, on Gu Changge’s body, pitch-black vortexes appeared one after another, as the terrifying and heart-pounding runes of the Great Dao circulated within him.
Among them, there seems to be an indescribable and unnamed ancient god sitting cross-legged, accompanied by the heavenly sounds of sacrificial ritual chanting reverberating…
When the All-Devouring Qi approached him, these vortexes gobbled them up, rendering them unable to do any harm to him.
Unfortunately, more and more of the All-Devouring Spirits started to gather around him.
He frowned a bit.
If Wang Zijin wasn’t outside, then it would be fine. But if he tries to use any of his forbidden demonic arts, it is highly likely that some of his aura would leak, attracting their attention.
Then, Gu Changge sacrificed something, golden light surged, as it opened from this space in an instant, like a large seal composed of the mountains and the seas… the Xianlun Seal that Gu Changge had hidden.
This was an authentic Supreme-grade Weapon.
With his current Cultivation Base, utilizing its full strength would be next to impossible, but even a mere wisp of divine power from this artifact should be strong enough to disperse the nearby Creatures.
Then, the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd appeared in his hand.
With the Seal of the Xianlun hanging over its head, a terrifying divine light fell down, like a river of stars, incomparably vast.
Gu Changge raised his hand and slashed downwards, as a Sacred Realm creature in front of him immediately collapsed and exploded.
He soon cleared a clear path through this vast, grey and foggy space, leading directly to the deepest part!
The source of the All-Devouring Qi!
Not long after…
Gu Changge found the place where the grey fog was densest.
He’d already swept away the rest of the nearby spirits, with not a single one of them in sight.
Strangely enough, it was quite peaceful here.
“It seems that this is the source. If I can refine this, then this piece of the All-Devouring Sky is mine…”
Gu Changge whispered to himself.
In his eyes, a black and white stream flowed, the powers of time and reincarnation emerged, turning into two peerless Immortal swords, clanging loudly, and slashing away!
The terrifying grey fog burst, as if it was torn apart by some terrifying power, all the while an increasingly dense and startling black substance slowly began to flow.
It was as if it was alive, as black as the starry sky, yet able to swallow the world and cover all of creation!
If it were any other cultivator, they might’ve been so frightened that their skull would explode…
Such an aura was so tyrannical, so powerful that nothing should be able to even get close…
Not even the dead bodies of Supreme beings, or even Quasi-Emperors, could have such an aura.
A single strand seems to be enough to devour the heavens and crush everything in existence.
‘This is an extremely rare All-Devouring Sky’s Origin, usually found in the core area of the All-Devouring Sky. I didn’t expect my luck to be this good.’
‘Oh… wait, no. This is for Wang Zijin. It’s thanks to her luck that I was able to find this thing.’
Gu Changge’s expression showed some interest, for even the Xianlun Seal felt a sense of fear.
More specifically, the gods within had sensed the danger, horrified by this item, for fear of being devoured by it.
On the contrary, the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd was very quiet.
‘I just don’t know which one is better, the All-Devouring Sky’s Origin or my Great Dao Treasure Bottle, which is stronger…’
‘Maybe I should take this opportunity to make the Great Dao Treasure Bottle evolve again.’
