I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 1157: 518: People’s hearts are always the most unpredictable force, the current situation

Chapter 1518: People’s hearts are always the most unpredictable force, the current situation

Time passed quickly, and several days had gone by since Chu Xiao was killed by Di Kun, the Seventh Prince of the Demon Court. Gu Changge did not linger in Zigui City; he had no interest in the so-called Wanzang secret realm. At his current level, he couldn’t be bothered, even if it were a secret realm left by supreme beings, let alone an ordinary realm at the Dao level.

On the second day after Uncle Fu awoke, he quietly departed, not considering it a farewell. On the table beside him, he left a letter of thanks, expressing his gratitude to Gu Changge for saving his life. However, as a member of Xian Chu, he understood that even though his young master had met with misfortune and his own body had not fully recovered, he must return to the frontlines as soon as possible and could not stay there any longer. He vowed that if there was a chance in the future, he would surely repay Gu Changge’s life-saving grace.

After reading the letter left by Uncle Fu, Gu Changge smiled indifferently and casually destroyed it. He had not expected Uncle Fu to repay him; after all, he had merely survived two catastrophes. In Gu Changge’s eyes, Uncle Fu didn’t hold much significance anymore. What he valued was Fu Lao’s identity and connections in Xian Chu.

According to the information Gu Changge had gathered, although Fu Lao was not top-tier, he was one of the most respected figures in Xian Chu. He had taken good care of Chu Gucheng in his youth and had witnessed his rise; it was not an exaggeration to say that the ascent of the isolated city could be attributed to him. Now that Chu Xiao was dead, Fu Lao’s situation would undoubtedly shift subtly upon his return to Xian Chu.

The human heart was unpredictable, and it always remained the most elusive force. Xian Chu was currently suffering from foreign aggression, but the internal situation was relatively stable. Disintegrating it would not be an easy task. Moreover, Chu Gucheng had traveled across various civilizations and cultivated many friendships, allowing him to seek assistance in critical moments.

On the other side, in the Xu Dan civilization, there existed an individual with whom Gu Changge shared a deep friendship. Initially, it was this person who noticed Gu Changge’s prying into matters and used it as a warning for the Xi Yuan civilization. Xian Chu could be considered the biggest obstacle to Gu Changge’s control over the Xi Yuan civilization, and it was also the easiest point of entry.

At this moment, he was not in a hurry. With the key moves already made, it now depended on whether anyone on the other side could confront him. Chu Gucheng’s character was cautious and steady; he was not easily swayed by anger. In fact, this was already part of Gu Changge’s calculations. He hadn’t expected that with just one Chu Xiao, he could disintegrate and destroy Xian Chu.

The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by the nests of ants; no matter how strong the city wall, once there is a gap, it will eventually collapse.

After leaving Zigui City, Gu Changge took Ye Suyi back to Yu Xian Academy temporarily. The Yu Xian Academy in the Tai Yuan Ancient Domain was under his control, so there was no need to worry about anyone discovering his identity. Ye Suyi, unaware of Gu Changge’s origins and true identity, never asked about them and behaved extremely well, showing obedience during this time.

Upon returning to Yu Xian Academy, Gu Changge instructed her to cultivate hard like the other disciples, rather than following him everywhere. During this period, he had the dean of Yu Xian Academy go to Yu Xian Palace to gather information, and there was some progress.

The founder of Yu Xian Palace had indeed left the palace later with a group of people. This was a closely guarded secret, known to only a few. However, the location where the founder ultimately chose to live in seclusion remained unknown.

After receiving this news, Gu Changge pondered for a long time. The descendant of the founder of Yu Xian Palace had a significant causal connection with the sealed town of Liuhe Tianyuan. If he wanted to reclaim Liuhe Tianyuan, he would need to navigate that layer of cause and effect to uncover the place where the town was sealed.

Otherwise, he would have to seek out other civilizations to find individuals who were also causally connected to the original sealing of Liuhe Tianyuan. This approach would entail considerable trouble and a waste of time. With this in mind, Gu Changge felt it was necessary to visit Yu Xian Palace in person to uncover the clues he sought.

During this time, all forces in the Xi Yuan civilization were searching for him, eager to uncover his background. While keeping an eye on the developments within the Xi Yuan civilization, Gu Changge also monitored changes in the immortal civilization and the Heaven Slaying Alliance.

The existence of the Heaven Slaying Alliance had only recently spread across the lands of the Xi Yuan civilization. In more distant Supreme Realms, few creatures were yet aware of it. Additionally, due to previous news from Xian Chu, many believed that the Heaven Slaying Alliance’s emergence in the immortal civilization was linked to the remnants of the black disaster, suggesting that those remnants might have returned. This news caused significant panic within the Xi Yuan civilization.

However, these forces and ethnic groups soon discovered that the Heaven Slaying Alliance was not as terrifying as they had imagined; it was merely spreading its teachings and purposes to some newly emerging real worlds around them. Consequently, in several shattered civilizations nearby, many devout and fanatical followers of the Heaven Slaying Alliance began to surface.

Unfortunately, the strength of these believers was quite low. Many great worlds had only experienced minor upheavals and remained in an era of barren civilization. Among these believers were some who claimed to have received the blessing of the Overlord. They referred to themselves as the Heaven-Slaying Guardians, possessing abilities beyond those of ordinary individuals. These guardians stirred up turmoil in their respective worlds and displayed a fanatical, almost morbid, worship of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance Leader.

These developments were detectable by various forces within the Xi Yuan civilization. It was this information that led many groups in the Xi Yuan civilization to relax their vigilance, believing that this newly rising force, under the banner of slaying the heavens, posed no significant threat in itself.

Among them, there seemed to be no ancestral Dao realm. The only one who was more mysterious and difficult to assess was the leader of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance; only the core figures of the Heaven-Slaying League had seen his true face and knew his identity. Ordinary cultivators had no knowledge of his strength or origins.

This aspect made many forces in the Xi Yuan civilization quite wary, and it was also of utmost importance. However, regarding the existence of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, they remained somewhat contemptuous and indifferent. Throughout the long river of time, there had been many forces like this, but most did not end well. They either collapsed halfway or encountered backlash, turning to ashes overnight.

From this perspective, it was indeed difficult to link the Heaven-Slaying Alliance with the once-catastrophic Black Disaster. At most, the mysterious leader of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance might have some causal connection to it or perhaps received blessings left by it. Many forces in the Xi Yuan civilization held such attitudes toward the current Heaven-Slaying Alliance and didn’t pay much attention to it.
