I Am the Fated Villain

chapter-824
Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanged as he scanned the ruined continent before him, along with the numerous from the Other Domains.
What he had to consider now was how to connect the previous arrangements according to the original plan, leaving no room for any flaws.
The turmoil in the Immortal Domain was something he had anticipated long ago, and he had only come to the Immortal Domain to validate his speculations and get to become a True Immortal. After all, his physical body had yet to undergo the baptism of the Light of Immortal Ascension, so he still couldn’t be considered a True Immortal.
Of course, the moment Gu Changge appeared in the Immortal Domain, his physical body already actively assimilated the rich Immortal Daos here. He didn’t even need to undergo the so-called Immortal Tribulation, as his physical body was undergoing transformation as though it was only natural.
Even without the revival of his past memories, his current strength alone was enough to disregard any concerns about the Immortal Kings.Moreover, his cultivation level while in the Upper Realm had already reached an unfathomable level. He stood at the absolute pinnacle. Not to mention, he possessed various means to ensure his plans went smoothly. Nevertheless, to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances, he had to consider many things with deeper foresight.
“So young, coming from that world. He might be someone from the Cycle of Reincarnation…”
“Go and report to our True Immortals. The portal to the Source World has reappeared, and a young man who seems to be an Immortal King has emerged from it.”
Unlike many excited and jubilant people of the Immortal Domain, many cultivators from the Other Domain were shocked and shaken. They were already secretly communicating and planning to report this matter to the True Immortals of the Other Domain for them to handle. Only the True Immortals had the right to interact with an Immortal King, to alert them of such matters.
Even True Daoists were no different from ants before this mysterious man. It was likely only True Immortals had the right to converse with him and ascertain his intentions and origins.
[Moreover, he just inquired about the current King of the Immortal Domain. That means he knows the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Domain, doesn’t it?]
The notion hit many from the Other Domain. It filled them with both horror and fear as they recalled ancient rumours.The vast majority of those from the Other Domain weren’t idiots. After witnessing a True Daoist being casually killed, they restrained their previous arrogance and domineering attitudes.
The young prodigies from the Other Domain, who were just discussing the Source World moments ago, now had pale faces and fell silent.
After the fall of the Western Immortal Domain, the Other Domain only dispatched True Immortals to station and guard this place. There was no Immortal King present. Even the terrifying fluctuations earlier would fail to be sensed by any Immortal Kings. That was just how far away they were.
In actuality, the Other Domain True Immortals had sensed it the moment the Heavenly Ancient City emerged. They just didn’t possess the vast bottomless might of an Immortal King. Nevertheless, they were still true supreme experts overlooking worlds with life spans exceeding millions of years or even longer.
Even though the Western Immortal Domain was damaged, the fluctuations just now were truly terrifying. The collision between the Upper Realm and the Immortal Domain had the whole of Heaven trembling, so how could they not have felt it?!
However, after witnessing a True Daoist being casually killed, they were filled with trepidation. They were no fools and knew that Gu Changge was far beyond their ability to contend with. Thus, they had to report to the Immortal King of the Other Domain.
This mysterious young man’s cultivation was unfathomable, and it was apparent his abilities were at the level of an Immortal King or above. After all, he could traverse from the Source World and even open a gate, only an Immortal King could open.
For some Other Domain True Immortals, who knew a lot about the truth of this world, they had the qualification to interact with that level of existence. Therefore, they understood that the Other Domain had been searching for the Source World for two reasons: One, to devour the Source of the Immortal Domain, making the Mountains and Oceans True World completely unified. Two, search for those who went through reincarnation. Based on the current situation, it was highly likely that this mysterious young man was someone who had gone through reincarnation.
Many from the Immortal Domain had rushed to the front of the Heavenly Ancient City and prostrated themselves there, bowing and worshipping Gu Changge with excitement. It was as if they were facing a god from the myths.
Among them, a young girl who looked rather young, couldn’t help asking with hope and anticipation, “Were you once a King of the Immortal Domain, sir?”
On this primitive land, with ancient trees towered, tall and coiled, there was only a small group of people from the Immortal Domain. They have lived here for thousands of years. Yet, they could only reside in a small part of what used to be a large continent.
The continent they were originally in was severely damaged, with traces of ancient wars still visible in some places. The once vast galaxy filled with life had shattered, obliterated in all directions. The land before them was only a tiny remnant of the past.
Gu Changge swept his gaze across those of the Immortal Domain impassively without answering the question, not even shaking his head. Instead, he simply gazed at the distant sky. In the eyes of the crowd, it seemed as if he was quietly waiting for the arrival of a King from the Other Domain.
The air there had seemingly frozen up, and those from the Other Domain beings dared not move an inch, all petrified. They knew nothing about Gu Changge’s purpose or his origin.
The world had become so silent that even time and space had hidden away, and the interweaving of World Principles ceased, making this place absolutely quiet.
The big red bird, too, fell silent. It didn’t know Gu Changge’s intentions. In fact, all it knew about him was that he was the mastermind behind the Forbidden Epoch and the Demon Lord who split the Upper Realm and the Immortal Domain apart. He was the one who plotted against the Upper Realm, a ruthless figure who killed all that was in his way. He conquered the Source World and unified it. He was by no means a benevolent character.
Though he treated his close relatives and loved ones with gentleness and amiability, there was no denying his cold and heartless demeanour, which was enough to chill the entire Upper Realm.
*Shh!* Streaks of flowing light traversed the cosmic expanse.
Right then, countless Other Domain experts gathered from the shattered regions of the Western Immortal Domain, rushing towards where Gu Changge was.
Despite still being far from the scene, they could already sense the dramatic change in the environment. Chills ran down their spines as they believed something major must’ve occurred.
“The gate has appeared? And a young man who seems to be an Immortal King has emerged from it?”
Within a vast and mist-covered cultivation ground, in the vast expanse of the Other Domain, an ancient and time-worn being suddenly opened his eyes.
It was the first time in a million years that he spoke. His aura was as grand as those of stars, standing tall in the starry sky. He resembled an ancient god. As a figure at the pinnacle of the True Immortal Realm, he could be regarded as the King among Immortals. He ruled over the boundless and endless universe with trillions upon trillions of subjects.
Very few occurrences could startle such a formidable being.
Right then, as he spoke, his side of the universe trembled, and with this terrifying being’s awakening, the vast starry sky surged like an ocean, with vast swathes of stars turning to dust.
Before the Other Domain conquered the Western Immortal Domain, the Western Heavenly Gate had long since shattered. The barriers over the Western Immortal Domain were gone. Thus, Immortal Kings from the Other Domain could enter the Western Immortal Domain, even if the world would continue to suppress them.
If anything, they could descend from the distant and boundless Other Domain to the Western Immortal Domain with just a single thought.
The Immortal King of the Other Domain was alarmed. His gaze resembled two terrifying Immortal Swords, seemingly wanting to rip apart the universe to check the situation there.
As an Immortal King, his power could be described as nearly omnipotent. He was even able to traverse the river of time and alter some bearable causality. Therefore, at the moment of his awakening, he began deducing the events in the Western Immortal Domain, trying to ascertain the origins and background of the young man who had just appeared.
*Boom!*
Meanwhile, a terrifying aura began emerging over the skies of the Western Immortal Domain. Various dreadful phenomena manifested, and even the Immortal Principle were on the verge of breaking apart. The sun, moon, and stars all trembled, and countless continents collapsed, reduced to dust under this ominous aura.
The aura of the Immortal King appeared, causing the entire universe to tremble. Large stretches of Star Territories exploded, unable to withstand the aura.
Countless, regardless of their cultivation level, knelt down in that direction, showing devout reverence. Even the people of the Immortal Domain, though reluctant to kneel before the Immortal King of the Other Domain, couldn’t resist. Their legs gave out, and they fell to their knees.
Not bowing before the King would lead to the collapse of their Souls, resulting in complete annihilation.
“It’s the Profound Earth Immortal King…”
“Wonderful! Our King has sensed everything here.”
Excitement enveloped many Other Domain True Immortals in the Western Immortal Domain upon sensing the aura, and they prostrated themselves in its direction.
Even though they were True Immortals, they were still as insignificant as ants in the presence of an Immortal King. They could easily be wiped out with a mere thought. The disparity was like an unbridgeable chasm.
The majestic and grand Heavenly Ancient City trembled under the aura, and the blood splattered on its walls earlier emitted a dazzling brilliance.
Faintly, various ancient images surfaced, showing True Immortals from the Immortal Domain shedding blood here, Immortal Kings besieged and falling; Heaven collapsing, the Western Immortal Domain breaking apart; the Heavenly Gate severed, the sky weeping blood, and all beings mourning.
Those from the Western Immortal Domain felt immense sorrow and despair from the aura, reminiscent of the tragic scene when the Western Heavenly Gate was breached and the whole Western Immortal Domain shattered.
How many years had it been? How many millions of years?
The return of the Other Domain’s Immortal King, who once led a large army into the Western Immortal Domain, has reemerged. Though it was merely a wisp of his aura, it was still terrifying beyond measure.
“Who are you? Are you someone who reincarnated or a remnant who once fled to that world? You are indeed quite remarkable to be able to push open that gate and step into the Immortal Domain.”
The gaze of the Other Domain Immortal King was cold and indifferent. Despite being just a wisp of his aura, he paid no heed to anything else. He fixed his gaze on Gu Changge before finally landing his gaze on the legendary Heavenly Ancient City, observing the gate.
Through that gate, he could sense the faint aura emanating from the Source World, which they had been searching for.
“Just a wisp of aura?” Asked Gu Changge as he took a plain gander at the Immortal King.
“A wisp of my aura is enough to crush you,” the Profound Earth Immortal King replied incredibly contemptuously, for he didn’t sense the aura of an Immortal King from Gu Changge. Thus, he didn’t consider the young man on the same level as himself.
With a raise of his palm, a vast hand filled with Chaos Qi spanned across Heaven, shrouding the entire universe below it. The Great Dao resounded, and all the universes were in resonance.
The Western Immortal Domain’s many World Principles emitted terrifying guillotine-like sounds, easily shattered and torn apart. However, Gu Changge merely brought his fingers together and casually slashed forward. With that, a sword-like beam swept through, ethereal and deep like it penetrated all of history, capable of cleansing the future.
*Rumble!* The sky shook and cracked, and the universe trembled as if it had turned into fragments.
The surging sword-like beam intertwined with the Chaos Immortal Light, piercing through everything, suppressing the entire world. It was absolutely brilliant and dazzling, shining like the sun in the clear sky, illuminating eternity. Even the river of time vanished, and all of the World Principles collapsed and dissipated.
Under the onslaught of this sword-like beam, all the realms lamented in agony.
As the sword descended, the Profound Earth Immortal King, who wore a cold and indifferent expression, turned grim at once. The colossal hand he extended burst and shattered, disintegrating instantly. Then, the sword-like beam continued unabated, striking him down, beheading him in an instant.
Next, his figure exploded with a thunderous boom.
