I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 863: Before entering transcendence, one has transcendent bones, Chu Chu becomes enlightened

Gu Changge, seated cross-legged in the Divine Kingdom, resembled an immortal deity.

Enveloped in vast mist, a nebulous river of time appeared and disappeared behind him. The waves rolled as the spirit of the immortal Dao-building expert nourished him. The treasure vase of the great Dao emerged, containing three blooming flowers, each with a seated figure chanting ancient and modern verses, exuding an air of vast supremacy.

Condensing the only drop of true blood left by the Demon Lord at the bottom of the abyss, Gu Changge created a radiant, flawless blood diamond.

This drop contained the highest secrets of heaven and earth and the good fortune of the demon lord during the plan to destroy the real world of mountains and seas. Only Gu Changge knew about this critical element in his scheme.

After the taboo era, the demon lord faced eradication by Gu Changge’s natural body due to offenses against the master of the original world.

Consequently, the demon lord reincarnated in later generations as a traverser, escaping the web of cause and effect. Possessing transcendent-level strength, the demon lord was genuinely immortal, invincible to any living beings in the vast heavens and actual worlds.

Gu Changge’s plan involved uniting the three flowers of time, merging past, future, and present into one coherent whole, and stepping out of the constant oneness realm.

Subsequently, he would refine the drop of true blood to achieve transcendence. Although he hadn’t reached the point where the timeline was closed, the universe was immortal, calamity was indestructible, and thoughts were immortal, his current cultivation base in Immortal Dao-building expertise allowed him to counter even a real Immortal Emperor.

As he observed the Dao fruits across the actual world of mountains and seas, Gu Changge described the complete Dao-building expert of this world and evolved the three thousand Dao laws in preparation for the step towards transcendence.

Now that the laws of the Immortal Domain and the Upper Realm were interacting, it signaled a change in the barriers of the Upper Realm, drawing the attention of beings from all races and orthodoxy.

Many sought the original emperor’s path, aspiring to achieve Dao-building expertise during this transformative period.

The drop of true blood, once a crystal clear mist in the air, was refined by Gu Changge and collected between his eyebrows. This unique drop held the good fortune left by the transcendent demon lord and served as a vast source of detachment.

It would expedite Gu Changge’s journey to that higher level after breaking through the realm of immortality.

Aside from the actual blood, the system composed of the origin of the heavens functioned similarly. For Gu Changge, the plan was initially a tool to align with the roles of traversers.

However, at this stage, it transformed into a key. When the opportune moment arrived, it would unlock the shackles, allowing him to regain his memories.

Contemplating the path to detachment, Gu Changge observed the 206 bones within his body, each intricately intertwined with mysterious traces. These bones exuded a thick and majestic aura, suppressing the Dao with an indescribable and far-reaching power.

The bone of detachment surpassed the bone of immortality, capable of enduring countless calamities and remaining immortal, waterproof even if the heavens and the natural world were obliterated.

In the vast heavens, nothing existed that could destroy a being related to transcendence. Detachment meant liberation from all constraints—time and space, existence, power, cause and effect, laws, fate—bestowing incredible power beyond all worlds. The detached being stood at a latitude entirely distinct from Immortal Dao’s.

To a transcendent individual, the so-called real world became a manipulable toy, capable of condensing everything into a point or a line, freezing time, reversing its flow, and even glimpsing into the future.

The timeline was subject to arbitrary manipulation, devoid of cause and effect. Even the mighty immortal emperor appeared no different from ordinary mortal ants in the eyes of a detached being, existing on entirely different planes.

However, giving birth to a detached person was an exceedingly rare occurrence, requiring extraordinary coincidences. Even with a comprehensive understanding of the world’s wonders, achievement was only possible with the proper opportunity in a vast expanse of the heavens and true earth; only a few planets had witnessed the birth of transcendent beings.

These worlds stood as a hegemonic force, boasting an unfathomable foundation. They held the power to protect themselves during calamities, concealed the cycle of reincarnation, and remained indestructible.

The detached individual possessed a profound understanding of the world, comprehending the intricacies of cause and effect and foreseeing the reasons behind calamities.

Thus, they were equipped with countermeasures. The Real World of Mountains and Seas, where Gu Changge currently reside, had never witnessed the birth of a genuinely detached being; not even Qing Yi, the true spirit, had reached that extraordinary state; she was merely on the road toward detachment, lacking the elusive opportunity.

Many powerful beings in the real world believed this opportunity might be associated with luck—a mysterious force challenging to define. This mystical power bestowed individuals with radically different and formidable good fortune.

As Gu Changge observed the upper realm, he sensed the surge of this changing luck even more. He reflected on the cyclical nature of troubled times, giving rise to exceptional geniuses.

These geniuses possessed remarkable physical attributes and unparalleled understanding. Provided enough time, the great world would shine even more brightly.

In various places, the older generations marveled at the emergence of good seedlings during this golden age, a period of Divine Kingdom rule. The upper realm experienced a resurgence, with luck soaring and numerous geniuses emerging like bamboo shoots after the rain.

In these years, outstanding individuals had appeared in various ancient worlds and vast universes, earning the title of immortal seeds. Some resonated with the Dao of Heaven before birth.

In contrast, others broke through certain extremes in their youth, leaving their names on the Heavenly Dao Monument and becoming renowned throughout the heavens and all regions.

Gu Changge’s surprise at Jiang Chuchu’s Dao-building expertise quickly turned into anticipation. Considering her exceptional aptitude with a Nine-Aperture Immortal Soul, her rapid and natural progress in cultivation was expected.

Having secluded herself in the Human Ancestor Hall, shielded from worldly affairs, Jiang Chuchu seamlessly entered the realm and advanced swiftly, guided by the unique exercises she practiced.

Reflecting on the past, Gu Changge vividly remembered the time when Jiang Chuchu risked her life to visit him at the Gu family, attempting to unveil his true identity. The forbidden palace within her sea of consciousness had posed a significant challenge, leading Gu Changge into a trap.

Breaking free from contemplation, Gu Changge stood up and traversed space, instantly arriving at the Holy Maiden Palace.

He recognized that Jiang Chuchu, on the verge of Dao-building expertise, was merely a step away from reaching her goal. The re-emergence of the thunderstorm, unseen for countless epochs, added urgency to her desire to attain Dao-building expert level.

Due to Gu Changge’s possession of the divine bone, the thunder disaster, a recurring celestial event due to the connection between the immortal domain and the upper realm, could not ascend.

Jiang Chuchu, eager for Dao-building expertise, stood on the brink of a crucial breakthrough.
