Chapter 803: The heavens come to worship; he really is lonely in the world
Indeed, to establish the Divine Kingdom, Gu Changge spared no effort in using the Kun Ji Universe as a prototype, melting down several broken universes to craft this world.
The Epoch Tree, in particular, was being planted within the Divine Kingdom, supporting the sun, moon, and stars, surrounded by a vast sea of chaos stretching endlessly.
Inside the heavenly palace, Gu Changge sat there, indistinct and hazy, shrouded in traces of the Great Dao-building expert, making it difficult to see clearly. It seemed as though he sat high in the Ninth Heaven, overlooking the immortal past, indifferent to the mortal world.
Only supreme pressure and a brilliant immortal aura pervaded the surroundings, overwhelming the heavens and earths.
The cultivators and followers who came to the Divine Kingdom were now outside the heavenly palace, witnessing this awe-inspiring scene, involuntarily compelled to kneel down.
Believers filled the sky and the earth, and within the palaces on both sides were numerous Divine rulers of various stars, each governing vast starfields beyond description.
Divine generals and heavenly soldiers marched in abundance within this Divine Kingdom, ready to heed Gu Changges commands to patrol all domains of heaven.
We pay our respects to the Divine Lord.
The many deeply moved guests arrived outside the grand hall and bowed respectfully towards Gu Changge above.
Establishing an immortal Divine Kingdom was a momentous occasion, especially since it was initiated by a Dao Figure. How could they not show reverence? Even if they came with fearful hearts, they dared not claim ignorance, choosing to kneel and pay their respects instead of staying in their sects territories.
In particular, many from the younger generation were among the guests who were once Gu Changges peers. They were people he had known in the past.
There were also younger cultivators of the present generation, full of confidence, carrying the ambition of becoming Dao-building experts, and believing in their invincibility.
They all gazed at the figure above the Divine Kingdom with awe. They knew that he was the most invincible existence in the present era, responsible for the deaths of countless background figures, orchestrating the entire upper realm from behind the scenes.
Among these guests, some displayed complex expressions, none more so than the members of the Gu Family and Peerless Immortal Dynasty.
Over the years, Gu Changges whereabouts had been elusive. The outside world and even the Gu Family members had rarely seen him. So, based on various rumors, they couldnt help but speculate.
There were many intelligent people in the world. Although Gu Changge never showed himself publicly, and no one openly claimed he was the Lord of the Dark Heaven, the rumors and speculation were abundant.
This was already an acknowledged fact in the hearts of many immortal forces and supreme forces.
The grand hall, vast as a universe, was filled with numerous guests, reminiscent of a great gathering from ancient times when representatives from various realms came to pay their respects.
Everyones expressions were trance-like. They had encountered too many terrible figures herepowerhouses from extremely remote universes also arrived, bringing gifts with utmost reverence.
You need not be overly courteous.
As the varied emotions of the guests filled the atmosphere, Gu Changge, seated above the Divine Kingdom, stood up. He spoke slowly, his voice gentle and soothing, lacking the terrifying pressure one might expect. Instead, it resembled a mild spring breeze that calmed the restless hearts.
Simultaneously, the chaotic mist around him dissipated, revealing his true appearance. His face, as elegant as an immortal, bore no traces of age, radiating an otherworldly charm. It was difficult to associate him with the ruthless individual who manipulated the heavens and orchestrated the deaths of many upper-realm beings.
Upon seeing the true face of Gu Changge, the large hall fell into a solemn and quiet state. Some cultivators unfamiliar with the truth widened their eyes in shock but quickly covered their mouths to stifle any inadvertent sounds.
Significantly, the younger men and women, surprised at how young the Divine Lord looked, were equally astonished. They had recognized Gu Changge because, even though several decades had passed since the era of the previous young geniuses, the terrifying rumors left by the last generation of geniuses were still fresh in their minds.
Among them, Gu Changge was the most remarkable. In just over twenty years, he had reached background figures.
Even regular background figures were far from his match. Although he was known to be the reincarnation of a supreme being from a forbidden era, leveraging the previous lifes Dao fruit, it was still shocking and unbelievable.
Many speculated that Gu Changge might have been quietly closed off somewhere during this period, attempting to break through to upper realms. However, no one expected the Lord of the Dark Heaven to be him.
Of course, these were the thoughts of the cultivators and beings who had not previously speculated in this direction. Those forces that had previously guessed but lacked evidence to prove everythingthe various forces and powerswere now shocked, complex, and unable to calm their emotions.
Compared to baseless and absurd speculations, they found reality even more surreal after witnessing it.
Because they had no idea how Gu Changge achieved all of this, how he carried the aura of being the top among his peers, and how he orchestrated everything behind the scenes. They would never be able to comprehend this, but it didnt diminish the shock they felt.
If it werent for Gu Changges recent actions aligning with those of the Dark Heaven, they might not have guessed this fact.
Astonishment, amazement, horror, fear These were almost the same emotions and thoughts in the hearts of everyone in the grand hall. Even the Gu Family members and the Peerless Immortal Dynasty couldnt remain calm, unsure of what to say or express.
It is indeed Changge
An elder from the Gu Family, his expression extremely complicated, sighed deeply in his heart. Yet, he couldnt hide the fear he felt towards Gu Changge. Regardless of anything else, he was the individual who, with his strength, turned the heavens upside down in the upper realm.
Many were pale, their legs trembling, finding it difficult to stand. Gu Changge looked at the scene below, taking a few steps forward, silently observing, appearing to be lost in thought, without speaking.
A strong aura of Dao filled his body, extraordinarily lofty and immortal as if integrated into the heavens and the earth.
It was beyond the realms of the various heavenly domains. Occasional bursts of immortal light radiated from him, dazzling in a spectrum of colors, accompanied by heavenly rosy clouds, seemingly ready to ascend at any moment.
All eyes were fixed on him, and instinctively, people took several steps back.
Gu Changge still remained silent, his gaze sweeping over everyone. There were familiar faces, as well as strangers. Among them were peers he had once sparred with, such as the Six-Crowned King Jun Yao and the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden. There were also former followers and elders from the True Immortal Academy and the Dao Heaven Immortal Palace. There were just too many.
Regardless of who it was, it carried a sense of fear when they met his gaze.
Although he had anticipated this long ago, Gu Changges emotions were still somewhat complex. Apart from a few companions by his side, he truly felt isolated from the world.
