The Prototype of a World — Can Stealing Your Wife's Fortuitous Opportunity Even Be Called Stealing?
The Prototype of a World — Can Stealing Your Wife’s Fortuitous Opportunity Even Be Called Stealing?
Inside the palace hall, Gu Changge looked at his current status interface and fell into thought.
Master: Gu Changge.
Aura: Fated Villain.
Weapon: Eight Barren Demon Halberd.
Identity: True Disciple of Skyward Schloss, Young Master of the Longevity Gu Family.
Physique and Bloodline: Demonic Heart, Daoist Bone.
Cultivation: Mid-stage Honoured King Realm.
Spells and Divine Abilities: Skyward Ascension (Eighth Layer, sixty percent progress), Demonization (Talent), Nature God’s Chant (Talent), Force of the Void (Talent), Immortal-Devouring Demonic Art, Endless Immortal Art...
Fatums: Ten thousand.
Fortuity Points: Two thousand (black).
System Shop: Opened.
Storage: One-third Fragment of the World Seed ×3 (can be synthesized), Fortuity Plundering Talisman ×3.
During this period, he had accumulated around ten thousand Fatums, which could be considered quite a fortune, but Gu Changge was in no hurry to break through his realm.
He began searching through the System Shop, and finally found an item in the inventory — the Divine Concealment Rune.
Price: eight thousand Fatums.
Function description: Conceals all of the user’s aura fluctuations for thirty minutes.
It sounded like a rather useless function, but Gu Changge couldn’t help revealing a trace of satisfaction.
Since it was a System product, it could naturally be trusted. Concealing all of his aura fluctuations, combined with his Void Talent — where couldn’t he go?
Very quickly, Gu Changge exchanged for one Divine Concealment Rune without the slightest heartache. After all, the supreme fortuitous opportunity he sought was the Celestial Path, said to be capable of startling even Sacred Emperor Realm beings.
Besides that, he exchanged one thousand Fortuity Points, gaining another ten thousand Fatums, and traded for one Restriction-Breaking Rune and one Domain-Shattering Talisman.
The Restriction-Breaking Rune, as the name implied, could break Restrictions. As for the Domain-Shattering Talisman, it was for escaping with his life if things went wrong at a critical moment.
This was what was called having an extra layer of insurance.
After that, Gu Changge began synthesizing the World Seeds, and a blurry scene appeared before his eyes.
Three seeds of different shapes appeared.
They were entwined with all kinds of intricate patterns — the primordial wilderness of heaven and earth, the sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers and ancient seas, the evolution of the primordial beginning... infinitely vast and boundless.
Weng!
A hazy mass of light emerged.
The three seeds began to fuse, transforming into surging radiant light.
Gu Changge sensed a world-like, majestic aura. This aura descended toward his chest, and in a trance, he seemed to become a mass of vast, boundless chaos.
Very quickly, the chaos split apart — the clear qi rose, and the turbid qi sank.
Heaven and earth began to evolve, and a mysterious, vast world was conceived and born within his body!
The Internal World!
Within it, the sun, moon and stars revolved, and earth, wind, water and fire cycled in turn, forming a self-contained loop.
It was still very small now, but it already possessed the complete prototype of a world.
“The World Seeds fused successfully, and I refined it along the way.”
“It feels pretty good. I can toss whatever I want into this Internal World.”
“If I run into a powerful enemy, hiding inside wouldn’t be a problem either — though I’d better not run into an existence extremely proficient in the Dao of World Creation.”
Gu Changge glanced at the several thousand Fatums consumed in the process and didn’t mind.
Then, he pondered for a moment.
Weng!
A fluctuation rippled through the void, and the next moment, his entire person vanished directly from where he stood, leaving only a tiny trace of spatial fluctuation.
If anyone had been here at this moment, they would have been utterly shocked, finding it inconceivable.
Gu Changge had simply vanished into thin air.
Such a method was simply horrifying.
However, an existence with extremely deep research into the Dao of World Creation would still detect some strange fluctuations.
Gu Changge had not disappeared — rather, in an instant, he had opened a spatial passage and traveled to another world.
Inside the Internal World, atop a mountain peak, Gu Changge’s figure reappeared.
He surveyed the scenery within the Internal World. In terms of range, it was actually only about a thousand li in radius, with mountains, rivers and ancient trees — everything one could need — along with some ordinary living creatures, but there was no spiritual energy.
Far in the distance was a stretch of chaos, still in an unevolved state.
This made him ponder. The World Seed given by the System was naturally of the highest grade.
After all, judging from that boundless, endless scene of chaotic evolution, it was no different from the Primordial World he knew from his previous life.
That being the case, his current Internal World had only just taken on the prototype of a world. If he wanted to go further, he would have to keep expanding it.
Right now, this place was merely equivalent to his foothold.
In Gu Changge’s considerations, the Internal World could further evolve into a supreme one in the future.
Until it descended upon the present world, transforming into a supreme Inner Universe — encompassing All of Heaven and Its Thousand Worlds wouldn’t be impossible either.
Of course, the Internal World already had many uses now: projecting it to suppress enemies, descending upon the present world, and even devouring the original world.
At this moment, many mythological scenes familiar from his previous life surfaced in Gu Changge’s mind.
From the first opening of the primordial chaos, the birth of chaos;
From the emergence of the three thousand Demon Gods, to the descent of Pangu;
From the great god Pangu cleaving open heaven and earth;
To Hon Jun’s sermons, the appearance of the Three Pure Ones; then to Nuwa creating mankind, Suiren drilling wood to make fire...
Of course, realizing these within the Internal World was not impossible for him.
Then, with a thought, Gu Changge asked, “System, if I want to deduce the evolution of the Internal World, will it also consume Fatums?”
The System answered, <Fatums possess universal properties. As long as there are enough, they can naturally evolve anything.>
Gu Changge nodded. With a thought, he directly activated Creator Mode.
Honglong!
Very quickly, a magnificent and majestic palace complex rose from the ground behind him, like heavenly palaces and towers, ancient and grand, towering into the sky, level with the heavens themselves.
Just those grand pillars alone seemed enough to prop up heaven and earth, resembling the Heavenly Court of the most ancient era.
Gu Changge’s figure appeared within it, and at this moment he was like the sovereign of the Heavenly Court, holding dominion over All of Heaven and Its Thousand Worlds.
He nodded with some satisfaction.
“With this level of style, won’t it be even more satisfying on the day it descends upon the present world?”
Establishing the Heavenly Court hadn’t cost him many Fatums.
Because the small world originally belonged to him, creating things within it was all the easier.
Afterward, Gu Changge’s figure moved, returning to the original world, and he began sinking into contemplation within the palace.
The matter of the Internal World could be set aside for now — it was time to consider the matter of the Celestial Path.
As the saying went, everything was ready; all that was lacking was the east wind.
However, he actually wasn’t very clear on exactly when this Celestial Path would open.
So very quickly, Gu Changge thought of someone.
His wife — no, his future wife.
Yue Mingkong.
As a regressor, she would definitely know about this matter, but getting her to open her mouth would take some effort.
Moreover, if Gu Changge guessed correctly, Yue Mingkong would definitely come running to the Boundless Heaven during this period. After all, on the timeline of her previous life, he was her greatest enemy.
If she racked her brains for revenge, she definitely wouldn’t let this fortuitous opportunity slip by.
As for snatching his future wife’s fortuitous opportunity, Gu Changge felt no guilt whatsoever.
She was already his.
Her fortuitous opportunities were naturally his too.
Besides, stealing your wife’s fortuitous opportunity — can that even be called stealing?
Gu Changge also knew that changing Yue Mingkong’s deep-rooted hatred toward him wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two.
Perhaps after bullying her a bit, she’d more or less get used to it and give up hope.
That Gu Changge hadn’t considered killing her was already his greatest mercy. After all, although he was bad, he really wasn’t bad to the point of utter derangement.
Whether it was Gu Xianer or Yue Mingkong, Gu Changge had not chosen the mission route of directly killing them.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t do it — it was just that doing so would be far too boring. What difference would there be between him and the version of himself dominated by Demonic Energy?
“Yan Ji...”
Then, Gu Changge’s expression returned to calm as he called out through a Communication Rune.
Yan Ji had naturally followed him to the Boundless Heaven, only she usually hid in the shadows and wouldn’t easily show herself.
So currently, very few people in the Boundless Heaven knew he had a Sacred Lord Realm subordinate by his side.
One had to know that even many elders of Skyward Schloss had not reached this realm.
Very quickly, a fluctuation came from the void, and Yan Ji, dressed in a red gown, walked out from within, her breathtakingly beautiful face carrying respect as she said, “Gongzi.”
Since returning from the Land of Abandoned Celestials, she had been recuperating from her injuries, having been heavily wounded by a single peach blossom petal from that Mysterious Peach Tree.
If she hadn’t reacted quickly back then and used a Domain-Shattering Talisman to open a passage and flee, she might well have perished there.
Gu Changge glanced at her, nodded slightly, and asked, “How are your injuries?”
“Thank you for your concern, Gongzi. With your medicinal pills, I’ve more or less recovered.”
Hearing this, Yan Ji answered respectfully.
Gu Changge had naturally treated her extremely well. After she was injured, he had continuously given her all kinds of superb healing pills, and during this period he hadn’t assigned her any tasks, letting her quietly recuperate.
Now that he had summoned her, the first thing he did was ask about her injuries — very considerate.
Although she showed nothing on her face, her heart was quite moved. How many people could manage such attentiveness to detail?
“That’s good then. It just so happens there’s a matter I need to entrust to you,” Gu Changge nodded and said.
“Please give your instructions, Gongzi,” Yan Ji said.
“Help me find the whereabouts of the Fourth Princess of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty in the Boundless Heaven. But don’t make a fuss — it would be best if she doesn’t notice,” Gu Changge said.
Yue Mingkong would definitely come to the Boundless Heaven, only she would come quietly, find a place to hide, and not let him know.
Ever since the incident at the Gu Family last time,
Yue Mingkong had been avoiding Gu Changge.
Gu Changge was naturally perfectly clear about this. Now he definitely had to drag her out — she had come to the Boundless Heaven, so how could she not come pay her respects to him, her husband?
What schemes Yue Mingkong was cooking up — how could he possibly not know?
“If she notices you, show yourself and tell her: if she doesn’t come see me, I’ll personally go catch her,” Gu Changge suddenly added, his expression somewhat playful.
“Yes, Gongzi.”
Receiving the order, Yan Ji departed.
She naturally knew of the relationship between the Fourth Princess of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty and Gu Changge.
The Fourth Princess of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty — this was a heaven-blessed daughter renowned throughout the Beyond. Now she had even been conferred the title of Crown Heir, possessing the bearing of an Empress, her beauty eclipsing all eight directions.
Even with the Marriage Agreement in place, her suitors were still as numerous as fish crossing a river, countless in number.
Most importantly, she had vaguely heard from members of the Gu Family that the Fourth Princess adored Gu Changge immensely, but Gongzi had always been cold toward her, paying her little mind.
Yet now, it seemed that this Fourth Princess was instead the one constantly avoiding Gongzi?
Yan Ji was somewhat puzzled. Given Gongzi’s temperament, that shouldn’t be possible.
Could it be that he greatly disliked, even loathed, that Fourth Princess?
But thinking about such things was useless — matters like this were not something she could easily speculate about.
