Chapter 1178: The Ancient Heavens, the Floating Sea is a Drama, the truth of the battle of the Heavens

Gigantic and ancient memories, at this moment, surged into Gu Changge’s mind as if a dam had burst, madly flooding his consciousness.

A tempest stirred within his previously calm and tranquil spiritual sea, and various mottled and terrifying auras erupted there.

Upon closer inspection, horrifying, colorful shackles appear and break off in Gu Changge’s spiritual sea. Each bind exuded a frightening and eerie aura.

With a faint glow of immortality, the Dao resonating, and various hues of radiant light gushing out uncontrollably, the situation seemed to spiral out of control.

What is happening?

The big bird stared in astonishment, unaware of the changes within Gu Changge.

It noticed that his demeanor appeared even more indifferent than before. In the depths of his gaze, there was an undisguised contempt for all living beings.

Not only mortals but even the vast expanse of the universe seemed like ants in his eyes.

The sky outside the Immortal Ancient Continent darkened entirely at this moment; stars disappeared, and dense dark clouds billowed. An oppressive and chilling terror pervaded the heavens and the earth.

It was as if the entire universe could hardly bear such an aura and was about to collapse completely.

The Dao thundered, the will of the heavens and earth trembled, and all cultivators and living beings, from the depths of their hearts, felt an emotion akin to insignificance as if they were ants.

The immortal dome outside the Immortal Ancient Continent became utterly dark at this moment; stars disappeared, and dense dark clouds billowed. An oppressive and chilling terror pervaded the heavens and the earth.

The universe seemed unable to bear such an aura, and it appeared on the verge of collapsing altogether.

It was as if an unknowable and unspeakable existence had revived in this world.

However, this kind of disturbance disappeared in an instant. Soon, the sky cleared up, and the dark clouds dissipated, with sunlight shining down and bringing life to the Immortal Ancient Continent.

The big bird almost doubted its eyes, but it couldn’t have been mistaken.

At that moment, there had indeed been some unimaginable changes in Gu Changge. Although he now appeared natural and without abnormalities, the big bird was sure something had occurred.

If Xian’er is in her third life now, were you there by her side during her first life?

Gu Changge’s expression returned to its calm and undisturbed state. He looked at the big bird and asked.

He had been perplexed before. The memories of the Demon Lord were too diverse and vague, with some parts being extremely ancient and filled with vastness and chaos.

However, Gu Changge didn’t delve into it at that time. With many memories resurfacing, he understood that all those memories were his own handiwork.

In fact, even the ident.i.ty of the Demon Lord was more of a fabrication on his part. Gu Changge couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile at the mention of his past alias.

In contrast, the ident.i.ty of the Demon Lord was merely a role he played during that era and nothing more.

“I am the weapon spirit of Xian’er’s Heaven-Slaying Sword…”

“However, after the Forbidden Era, it became the portal spirit on the road between the Immortal Domain and the Upper Realm.”

“Later, after awakening the memory of the previous life, I left the body, came to the upper realm, and found Xian’er in Peach Village.”

With a touch of sorrow in its eyes, the large red bird shook its head and explained. It had no idea what had just transpired within Gu Changge.

For it, whether it was the Demon Lord or Gu Changge, both were shrouded in a layer of mist, making them elusive and unfathomable.

The origin of the Demon Lord was an immortal puzzle. Before the Forbidden Epoch, the world was resplendent with divine beings, and later, after the era of burying the immortals, there was a considerable blank period. The Forbidden Epoch emerged in later generations.

The Demon Lord appeared during the Forbidden era, a peerless powerhouse who even made the Immortal Palace, which ruled the heavens then, wary and dared not approach the Demonic Mountain where the Demon Lord resided.

As for his origin, the big bird speculated that it might be related to the era of burying the immortals, perhaps an ancient powerhouse who fell during that time and chose reincarnation or seclusion.

” Heaven-Slaying Sword?”

Gu Changge, upon hearing this name, couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. It was challenging to connect the familiar image of Xian’er he knew now with the figure wielding the Heaven-Slaying Sword, shouting and soaring to the Ninth Heaven.

The Battle of Slaying Heaven was indeed too distant.

However, reincarnation…

This world had not yet been eroded in this world, and the cycle had not been reshaped. The six paths were firmly established, and the laws circulated, ensuring the immortal process of life.

However, it seemed futile.

This world in the Upper Realm was just one of many realms in the vast actual world. Beyond the true world was the real Realm.

After countless ages, the true world’s current state remained unknown. Only the real world stood supreme, immortal and undying.

The three primordial ancestors mentioned by the big bird were the supreme rulers of the real world, wielding control over all the rules, sources, and substances in this world. Time, s.p.a.ce, years, causality—all were products of their thoughts.

To be precise, the three primordial ancestors were the true embodiment of the Primordial Source, the true manifestation of the birth and concept of the highest Heavenly Dao-building expert, the real indestructible concept.

While the Heavenly Dao-building expert had no form, it ruled over everything in the universe. However, this intangible existence could not evoke awe from living beings.

So, at some point, the Heavenly Dao-building experts developed desires and emotions, giving rise to the three supreme primordial ancestors.

For living beings, these three primordial ancestors were akin to the manifestation of the Dao-building experts itself, as they were born from its reasons.

However, as long as it possessed consciousness and emotions, everything harbored desires. Even the Dao-building expert itself was not exempt from this.

The three primordial ancestors worked together to create the true world, residing high above the supreme void, seemingly devoid of emotions or desires.

However, during each impending calamity, they would harvest the sources of all the true world, erasing everything in a grand purification to prevent the birth of threatening ent.i.ties that could defy them.

Simultaneously, this purification aimed to transcend their power further and achieve complete separation from the Dao-building experts.

Thus, during each calamity or the end of the true world, everything would be obliterated, including cultivators, background figures, and the rules of the six paths—all would be ground into nothingness.

After the calamity, those true worlds that were eradicated would no longer experience reincarnation. The heavens and earth would crumble, and the powerful beings who had died in misery would not enter the cycle of reincarnation again, sharing a genuine annihilation.

Following the calamity, the world would wither away, and all the harvested true worlds would return to chaos, waiting for the evolution of a new creation, repeating this cycle countless times.

However, in this process, there would inevitably be unpredictable events—paradoxes. Even the three primordial ancestors were unable to foresee these anomalies through deduction.

Therefore, the survivors of the grand purification, the powerhouses who had managed to escape annihilation, began to plan the Battle against Heaven.

Since the beginning of countless quant.i.tative catastrophes, the Battle against Heaven has occurred numerous times. However, in the eyes of the three primordial ancestors, this process simply made it easier for them to eliminate anomalies and posed no threat.

The Battle against Heaven also served as a way to alleviate the arrival of the calamity because the losses of powerhouses during that battle were too significant. It became a method for the true world to avoid the impending calamity.

All these countless realms and the vicissitudes of life are but a play…

Gu Changge’s lips curved with a self-deprecating smile. Before awakening his memories, he had always pursued strength as his goal.

The reason for becoming powerful was merely to survive and, incidentally, comprehend his origins and ident.i.ty.

Now that the mist had cleared, memories resurfaced, and everything appeared like scenes in a play—immortal and unreal, like reflections in water or images in a mirror.

However, upon closer inspection, there wasn’t much impact after all. Even now, he remains an unpredictable paradox.

As for the purpose of the long-planned schemes and calculations and the reason for walking the world with the ident.i.ty of the Demon Lord, it was, in fact, simpler…

Because Gu Changge intended to completely devour and erase the other two primordial ancestors

The ident.i.ty of the Demon Lord was just a facade, a mask worn during his partic.i.p.ation in the Battle against Heaven. Similarly, his role as a transmigrator was a part of the carefully crafted plan to align with this unpredictable anomaly.

Gu Qingyi, she is actually the true spirit of this world, saved by the initial Demon Lord facade during the first Battle of slaying Heaven in this world. We coincidentally met at that time…

The second Battle of Slaying Heaven, which took place before the Forbidden Era…

Gu Changge’s gaze gradually deepened.
