Such Boldness and Methods Are Truly Astonishing, a Fellow Countryman from Another World
Such Boldness and Methods Are Truly Astonishing, a Fellow Countryman from Another World
Among the mountain ridges, Cultivators and living beings were numerous, all having rushed over from various places to witness today’s spectacle with their own eyes.
The Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan had stood unshaken since the Celestial Ancient Times, with a long heritage and enormous power—who would dare offend them?
Normally, they ran rampant and arrogant across the Celestial Ancient Continent, looking down on everyone.
Now they had encountered someone even more domineering than themselves, and had been oppressed to this extent.
Many Cultivators were even looking forward to it, hoping to see the Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan suffer a great loss today, to grind down their arrogant edge.
Quite a few of them had heard Xiu Er’s words, but none paid it any mind.
In their view, this was perfectly natural—after all, that was Gu Changge. Among the younger generation of today, which young woman didn’t admire him?
Hearing this, Wang Zijin gave her a somewhat speechless look, then nodded and said,
“Look at how excited and thrilled you are. Still, this Gu Changge is indeed quite good-looking—his appearance is quite deceptive, and he really does give off that otherworldly, transcendent feeling.”
“No wonder he has so many admirers.”
She didn’t say more than that.
After all, who in this world wasn’t a sucker for a pretty face?
Even she found him pleasing to the eye—his looks were naturally beyond reproach.
Over these years of cultivation in the Mortal Palace, Wang Zijin had seen all manner of Young Prodigies, each one firmly convinced of their own invincibility, their Dao Hearts formidable.
Yet once defeated, or dealt a heavy blow, they would collapse and never recover—unworthy of comparison to those world-shaking figures she had known of in her past life.
Those Great Emperors and Ancient Sovereigns—which of them hadn’t been indomitable, growing ever more courageous with each setback?
Wang Zijin didn’t consider herself a shallow person; one certainly couldn’t judge someone based on first impressions alone.
So she couldn’t very well judge what kind of person this Gu Changge was.
She would have to make contact with him first to find out.
“Right? Wasn’t I right? Young Master Changge is the number one of the younger generation today!” Xiu Er said excitedly.
“With looks like that, he’s nothing like the plain, ordinary, delicately-featured protagonist face. And now he’s forcing the Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan to submit—what he’s doing really doesn’t seem like something a righteous character would do.”
“I just wonder whether he’s offended some kind of protagonist...”
Wang Zijin nodded, staring at Gu Changge’s figure in the distance, a strange glint flashing through her eyes.
She was still muttering and sizing him up, feeling that something about this Gu Changge seemed oddly at odds with the male-oriented novel tropes she was familiar with.
He clearly appeared to have cultivation below the True Enlightened Realm, so why did he make her unable to suppress a faint, indistinct sense of heart-palpitating danger?
This was the first time she had ever been unable to see through a young person’s cultivation.
One had to know that before this, no matter what kind of Young Prodigy it was, none could hide their true abilities before her.
She could defeat them with a casual wave, which made Wang Zijin feel they were nothing special.
But today, in Gu Changge, she had actually discovered an exception—as if he were shrouded in a layer of mist, deeply mysterious.
One had to know that even Jiang Chuchu, who was rumored to be the reincarnation of a True Immortal, could not give her this feeling.
That was very strange indeed.
Wang Zijin’s intuition was extremely accurate—she had even relied on this intuition to discover the true strength of her old coachman.
Moreover, in her view, the way Gu Changge now threw his weight around to suppress others was so practiced that he was clearly a habitual offender.
Ordinary Young Prodigies at most challenged their peers at times like this—small scuffles—yet Gu Changge was actually scheming against the entire Celestial Ancient Races.
This kind of boldness and capability was clearly not something the Young Prodigies she had seen before could compare to!
Wang Zijin admitted that she had underestimated Gu Changge before; matters were clearly not as she had assumed.
So her curiosity about this Gu Changge grew ever stronger—her interest was piqued.
“This Gu Changge probably isn’t so simple,” Wang Zijin couldn’t help but remark.
“Eh, Gongzi, this is the first time you’ve ever said someone of the younger generation isn’t simple...”
Hearing this, Xiu Er couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, looking utterly shocked.
Then she grew even happier—it seemed her mistress had finally understood the principle that there is always someone better out there, a heaven beyond heaven.
She had spoken of Young Master Changge’s legends many times, but Wang Zijin had never cared.
Now that she had seen the man in person, surely she had to believe it?
Wang Zijin naturally couldn’t explain anything to Xiu Er. In any case, she felt that leaving the Mortal Palace this time and coming to the outside world had been the right decision.
She had only just arrived in the Boundless Heaven, and had already encountered someone who interested her so much.
“Gongzi, the Longevity Wang Family’s battleship is over there! Young Master Wushuang is there too!”
At that moment, Xiu Er suddenly pointed at a group of Cultivators not far away and cried out in delight.
An Ancient Battleship stretched across the sky, radiance soaring upward, with many powerfully-aurad Cultivators standing atop it.
The banners of the Longevity Wang Family fluttered, a large, ancient and grand character “Wang” displaying the profound foundation of the Longevity Wang Family.
The young man at the head had golden eyes and an extraordinary bearing, appearing quite mysterious.
But Wang Zijin saw through his features at a glance—it was Wang Wushuang. Though she had never met him before, she recognized him at first sight: that was her younger brother of this life.
“They’re actually here too.”
Then, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Wang Zijin’s face. Right away, the two servants and their mistress, three in total, headed that way, planning to reunite and catch up first.
The matter of Gu Changge was set aside by her for the time being—after all, the two of them were complete strangers, had never even met before, and had no grudges between them.
There would be plenty of time to get to know him later.
......
Meanwhile, on the other side, far away.
The great battle was fierce, truly heart-stopping, filling an area of tens of millions of miles with a murderous atmosphere!
Above the firmament, divine light pierced the heavens, and the sounds of slaughter shook all directions.
This was a terrifying force that made many orthodoxies and great sects change color.
The defensive Array Patterns on Dragon Island all lit up at this moment, seeking to resist this great battle.
The Black Hawk Family, the Ancient Teng Snake Clan, and the Divine Crocodile Clan—the three great clans—had all come to kill, obeying Gu Changge’s orders, becoming at the critical moment a sharp blade to break open the situation of the Celestial Ancient Continent!
“Kill!!”
“Fight for the Gongzi!”
They led vast, mighty elite forces, sweeping across heaven and earth like a flood, charging toward the territory of Dragon Island.
The Sacred King Realm ancestors of these three great clans had also joined the slaughter.
They battled the Sacred King Realm existences of the Dragon Clan, the aftershocks of their clashes shaking the universe, causing all mountain ranges within ten thousand miles to collapse, reduced to dust and ashes!
All living beings could only feel a world-shaking aura sweeping across from far away.
Great stars trembled beyond the heavens, shaking like sieves; the firmament quaked and the universe warped.
From there came roars of fury and unwillingness, shaking countless living beings and Cultivators.
One could imagine what kind of terrifying great battle was unfolding there.
Sacred King Realm existences—these were the foundational ancestors of the various great clans. Normally they remained in secluded cultivation, never appearing unless the clan faced its most perilous crisis.
Yet now, the ancestors of these three great clans had all appeared together, fighting for Gu Changge, warring against the Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan.
This scene left many orthodoxies and great sects shaken beyond words, their hearts filled with profound shock.
“In the Celestial Ancient Times, it was said that the ancestors of these three great clans were all followers of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being. It seems that rumor is true.”
“Truly unexpected—the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being actually left such resources for his successor. Three great clans at his disposal!”
“The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being truly went to painstaking lengths for his successor! No wonder Gu Changge’s strength is so formidable!”
Many Cultivators watched with eyes red with envy and jealousy.
These were three great Celestial Ancient Races! Each clan possessed no simple foundation, each having a Sacred King Realm ancestor—yet now they all served Gu Changge alone!
This kind of power—how could “terrifying” even begin to describe it? It was simply unimaginable.
This made many young geniuses tremble, fists clenched, filled with unwillingness, dejection, and even despair.
Without even realizing it, the gap between them and Gu Changge had already reached such an extent.
With this kind of might, Gu Changge was probably nearly on equal footing with the family heads and clan leaders behind them, wasn’t he?
They were originally of the same generation, yet now, when they looked upon Gu Changge, they could only gaze up at him.
At this point, no one doubted Gu Changge’s identity as the successor of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being anymore.
After all, things had come to this—even these three great clans had appeared, obeying his commands.
What more was there to say?
This was a slaughter that made the entire Dragon Clan tremble.
Gu Changge revealed his identity as the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being’s successor, and even clans like the Black Hawk Family obeyed his commands, warring against the Dragon Clan.
This scene made the already turbulent Celestial Ancient Races tremble in their hearts, deeply uneasy.
They knew that once the Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan fell, Gu Changge would inevitably turn this blade upon them.
Given the methods and temperament Gu Changge had now displayed, he would absolutely do exactly that!
For a time, many clans grew anxious and fearful, feeling that after this great battle, the situation of the Celestial Ancient Continent would change drastically.
They had to pick a side now. If they resisted stubbornly like the Dragon Clan, there was no possibility other than marching toward annihilation.
Even the other orthodoxies and great sects, at this time and in this place, dared not provoke Gu Changge!
This was might!
“Truly unimaginable—is this really a young man?” many older-generation Cultivators sighed with emotion.
Weng!!
At this moment, Gu Changge’s expression was calm to the point of seeming unusually indifferent. His figure unmoving, robes flapping, he stood firm at the edge of the sky.
The Ancient Wheel of Reincarnation was like a black sun, its majestic might shaking heaven and earth, Divine Chains of Order illuminating the four seas and eight wastelands, displaying its formidable divine power.
Amid such fluctuations, he didn’t even need to lift a finger to intimidate the many experts of the Dragon Clan, none daring to make a move against him!
Not to mention the many experts protecting him at his side—a Sacred King Realm ancestor of the Black Hawk Family followed closely beside him.
In secret, Gu Changge could also at any time bring out the Sacred Lord Realm puppet the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had left for Ye Ling, in case of emergency.
With all of this...
What did he have to worry about? Coming here was nothing more than showing his face and incidentally intimidating the various orthodoxies, lest some fool who didn’t know life from death try to snatch his prey at this moment.
This was a plan he had laid out long ago, one that could be called flawless!
A perfect-grade crushing victory!
Even if the Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan was unwilling, still clinging to their pride and refusing to yield—
When the time came, as Gu Changge slaughtered more and more of the Dragon Clan’s members, they would come to know fear, and understand what foolishness meant.
To put it crudely: they wouldn’t shed a tear until they saw the coffin.
So Gu Changge appeared rather unworried.
Now, various thoughts flashed through his mind—he was actually thinking about another matter from just before.
The System, which hadn’t changed in a long time, had actually produced a new mission notification.
This was something of a pleasant surprise for Gu Changge. The leeks he had been yearning for were finally coming online—and had even delivered themselves right to his doorstep.
After all, Gu Changge had recently been pondering how to earn large amounts of Fortuity and Fatums, to prepare for his future plans.
For Yue Mingkong and Gu Xianer, he had other plans that required gradual progress—no rushing.
Just as he was wondering how he’d sleep, someone immediately delivered a pillow.
Gu Changge felt somewhat touched. This batch of leeks seemed quite self-aware.
Only, the notification the System gave him this time made his expression rather intriguing for a moment.
“A new Daughter of Fortuity has appeared—a fellow countryman from another world?”
Tsk.
His fellow countryman?
Then there was no need to say more—a Transmigrator just like himself, and a Daughter of Fortuity at that.
For Gu Changge, encountering a fellow Transmigrator in this world, the first thing to do was naturally to find a way to kill her.
Matters concerning his own origins naturally had to rot in his stomach—impossible to let a second person know.
Not to mention this person carried great Fortuity with her, which naturally had to be seized by whatever means necessary.
Gu Changge’s thinking was, as always, simple: either kill or subjugate—whichever brought him the greatest benefit, that was the one he’d choose.
Moreover, since the System had already notified him, that meant his fellow countryman had, without realizing it, already ended up in opposition to him.
At a time like this, when fellow countrymen met fellow countrymen, there would definitely be no tearful reunion.
If the other party learned he was a Transmigrator, she would absolutely not tolerate his existence.
At this point, it came down to who had more tricks up their sleeve.
Besides, Gu Changge didn’t know what the other party’s Golden Finger was—what if she also had a System? That would be interesting.
Though in Gu Changge’s view, that possibility wasn’t actually very likely.
Since his System could notify him, that could only mean his System was clearly more powerful than the other party’s Golden Finger.
So Gu Changge wasn’t in any hurry.
Nor was the System omnipotent. His reliance on the System wasn’t actually that great—in the beginning he had relied on spending some Fatums to level up his Skyward Ascension cultivation.
Nowadays, he only casually added points when he remembered it was time to put on a show for the others.
As for the things in the System Shop, Gu Changge could actually find substitutes for all of them in this world.
It was just that with Fatums on hand, he could exchange for them at any time, which was simpler and more convenient.
Most importantly—and most crucially—before this, the other party definitely wouldn’t know of his Transmigrator identity.
That way, it was equivalent to him being in the dark while the other party was in the light.
The other party thought she was the only Transmigrator, little knowing that he was one too.
A meaningful smile appeared on Gu Changge’s face.
How to scheme against her—wouldn’t that be entirely within his control?
Of course, before that, Gu Changge had to find a way to locate this Daughter of Fortuity first.
And since the other party was a Transmigrator, her temperament and habits would certainly differ from the native beings of this world.
Finding her would actually be quite easy.
Not to mention, Gu Changge had an even simpler and more direct method—something like Fortuity, whoever had more or less, he could tell at a glance.
As long as the other party appeared within his field of vision, she definitely couldn’t escape his perception.
Thinking of this, Gu Changge kept the matter in mind and set it aside for now.
And soon, under the Great Elder’s forceful intervention, the several supreme experts of the Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan were successively outmatched and fell back in defeat.
Under the massive assault of the Primal Celestial Temple, the Ancient Teng Snake Clan, the Divine Crocodile Clan, the Black Hawk Family, and other forces, Dragon Island’s defensive Array Patterns finally crumbled and shattered.
This was a completely one-sided crushing, advancing like a hot knife through butter.
On the island’s Mystic Mountains, all the clansmen wailed, never imagining that they, so mighty, would finally see this day arrive.
Hong!!
In the deepest reaches of Dragon Island, the Ancestral Weapon rose and fell between heaven and earth, drawing upon the power of the universe, then evolving into a pitch-black void where all life was extinguished.
Ripples spread out one after another, each ripple seemingly containing a small world within it—incomparably wondrous.
But in the end, having lost its support, the divine spirit awakened within it exhausted its power and crashed down with a dong!
“Our clan is willing to surrender!”
“Our clan is willing to submit!”
Facing all of this, the group of Dragon Clan elders, no matter how unwilling and unyielding, chose to submit, unwilling to watch any more of their clansmen suffer casualties.
No miracle occurred—the Founding Ancestor they had been praying to and calling upon never descended!
“Had you known it would come to this, why bother struggling so bitterly?”
Gu Changge couldn’t help but shake his head slightly, speaking with some regret and pity, though he wasn’t surprised in the slightest.
Hearing this, the group of Dragon Clan experts wore expressions of humiliation, their faces livid, their whole bodies trembling—yet they dared not say a word.
Gu Changge smiled faintly and ordered everyone to cease.
The place still rained down a torrential storm of blood, corpses left without intact bones, and many Dragon Clan members wept loudly, their expressions grief-stricken and indignant.
After all, this calamity was entirely one they had brought upon themselves—none of this could be blamed on anyone else.
If not for the justification of a righteous cause, Gu Changge couldn’t have accomplished this so easily either.
Very quickly, this battle that had shaken all directions finally came to an end.
Gu Changge dispatched his confidants to begin the cleanup, planning to integrate the current Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan in one fell swoop. At this point, his identity as the Young Master of the Longevity Gu Family would come into play.
After all, in all of this, he hadn’t used the slightest bit of the Longevity Gu Family’s forces or power—he had made the Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan submit entirely through his own methods.
No orthodoxy or force dared say a single word of objection!
And no one dared appear at this moment to snatch away everything he had schemed for!
Moreover, from beginning to end, the Longevity Gu Family had never stepped forward, never given Gu Changge the slightest bit of help.
This hadn’t crossed the final bottom line between the various orthodoxies of today—no one could say it was wrong.
But if anyone dared make a move against Gu Changge, that would be tantamount to provoking the Longevity Gu Family—likely a fight to the death, a situation far more shocking than even this battle.
Now, the Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan had suffered heavy casualties, and in the end could only choose to submit. From this day forward, like the Feathered Clan, they would pledge allegiance to Gu Changge!
This news shook everyone.
Whether it was the orthodoxies and beings watching from nearby, or the other clans, enormous waves surged in all their hearts at this moment!
In the end, the Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan still could not escape such a fate.
Many clans began to regret—why hadn’t they united together earlier, standing with the Dragon Clan against Gu Changge? Perhaps the situation wouldn’t have turned out this way.
But it was useless now.
The critical intervention of the three great clans—the Ancient Teng Snake, the Divine Crocodile, and the Black Hawk—was like a sharp blade, dealing a fatal blow to the entire situation of the Celestial Ancient Continent.
From another perspective, this actually gave many clans a way to survive, a path forward.
All sorts of news began spreading rapidly, triggering earthquakes in every region.
“Gu Changge’s methods and boldness are truly breathtaking.”
“I am far inferior to him.”
In the distance, aboard the Wang Family’s Ancient Battleship, Wang Wushuang—who had finished catching up with his sister and had personally witnessed this terrifying campaign—couldn’t help but sigh with emotion at this moment, his expression still carrying a faint tremor.
And beside him, Wang Zijin and the others also wore varied expressions, each feeling a different emotion.
