464: Finale (Four chapters in one)

Escape!

Disaster Central, who was hesitating, sensed the Aura on Gu Liangyuan’s body and instantly transformed into black smoke, dissipating between heaven and earth.

He was not necessarily a match for this Aura even at his Peak, let alone in his severely injured state.

This return to the Heavenly Dao was a trick Disaster Central had used many times with success.

He originally had no physical body, so how could he be found once he returned to the Heavenly Dao?

It was precisely this move that allowed him to escape death multiple times in ancient times.

However, he encountered Gu Liangyuan, a Gu Liangyuan who could view information about all things!

Gu Liangyuan watched Disaster Central disappear, calmly releasing his Divine Sense.

As Gu Liangyuan’s Divine Sense spread, the great sun in the sky suddenly became exceptionally hot.

Gu Liangyuan could clearly feel a special connection between the great sun and his current self.

Gu Liangyuan smiled, his Divine Sense spreading out, covering all Major Thousand Worlds!

“Oh.”

A soft exclamation came from Gu Liangyuan’s mouth.

It wasn't because he had found Disaster Central's consciousness, but because he had found two acquaintances among the myriad worlds.

Di Tian and Liu Ruyan!

Gu Liangyuan could still understand Liu Ruyan, but Di Tian, this child, still had a wisp of his Soul remaining.

And he had already Reincarnated into a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, just like Song Xianer once did, attempting the act of Reincarnation and Cultivation.

Regarding this, Gu Liangyuan simply silently noted down the locations of the two, and then continued to search for Disaster Central’s whereabouts.

“Found you!”

Name: Disaster Central's Consciousness

Function: Formed from Disaster Central's consciousness. When the consciousness disappears, Disaster Central nominally disappears from this world. Only by mastering the Heavenly Dao can Disaster Central be eternally extinguished.

Gu Liangyuan chuckled and was about to step forward.

But then, a physical object flew out from deep within the sun.

Gu Liangyuan held it in one hand and examined the information of this bell.

Name: Chaos Bell

Rank: Innate Supreme Treasure

Function: Suppresses Grandmist, stabilizes earth, water, fire, and wind!

Suspended above the head, Innate invincibility!

Its chime resonates through all Realms, a sound wave attack with many wonderful uses.

After Taiyi’s death, the Chaos Bell's whereabouts were unknown. Now, with Taiyi's Aura reappearing in heaven and earth, the Chaos Bell has emerged to recognize a Master.

Good, good, good!

Gu Liangyuan had thought that his affinity with the Sun Star was because the Sun Star was formed from the Golden Crow, but he never expected such a big surprise.

Although the ancient events of this world differed from the legends Gu Liangyuan knew, the general Veins were similar.

Di Jun established the Immortal Court, and Taiyi was the Eastern Emperor.

After the two brothers died, Haotian took the throne and re-established the Immortal Court.

In the middle, the Immortal Court declined for some reason, and Haotian voluntarily Reincarnated to the Lower Realm, undergoing one thousand seven hundred and fifty tribulations, only to regain his imperial throne and restore the Immortal Court during the lifetime of Zhang Bainian.

Because Zhang Bainian's surname was Zhang, there was a folk legend that Emperor Yu Zhang ascended, taking all the imperial Luck of the world, and from then on, no emperor would bear the Zhang surname.

Gu Liangyuan recalled ancient and modern times and indeed found no emperor with the Zhang surname, though he didn't know the reason.

Taiyi was the Eastern Emperor of the first Immortal Court. After his death, the Chaos Bell returned to the Void Realm.

Countless Great Divine Power Cultivators tried to find it, but ultimately found nothing.

He never expected it to be hidden right under the Sun Star's nose.

Gu Liangyuan didn't know if it was Tianguan Blessing's Luck at work again, or if it was simply a time when heaven and earth worked together!

Now, this Chaos Bell actually belonged to him, directly recognizing him as its Master.

With the Chaos Bell in hand, Gu Liangyuan's confidence was full.

He took a step, transforming into a long rainbow, and headed straight for a certain space.

Displaying Golden Crow Transformation, Gu Liangyuan finally understood how Beggars' Edition the Golden Crow Transformation in Taiyi Holy Land was.

This technique required the Golden Crow Bloodline to fully function.

The Golden Crow Transformation technique in Taiyi Holy Land was merely a name without substance.

The long rainbow flashed, and in the next moment, Gu Liangyuan appeared in a space.

With a slight perception, Gu Liangyuan knew the origin of this Realm.

The former site of Mount Buzhou!

At this moment, Disaster Central was sitting cross-legged in the very center of Mount Buzhou.

Sensing Gu Liangyuan's arrival, he suddenly opened his eyes, a clear look of surprise flashing across his Face.

“It’s over.”

Looking at Disaster Central before him, Gu Liangyuan softly uttered three words.

Disaster Central reacted and tried to escape.

Dong!

The Chaos Bell rang, audible throughout the Three Realms!

With one chime, Disaster Central was unable to move.

Dong!

Another chime rang, and the sound wave struck Disaster Central's consciousness, causing it to instantly melt away like snow on a blazing fire.

“No…”

As his consciousness disappeared, Disaster Central only managed to utter a single

Some superficially surrendered but secretly rebelled, while others directly raised armies to confront Qianqiu head-on.

The Immortal Realm was not like Kongsang; it was too vast.

A True Immortal Cultivator would need half a year to circle the Immortal Realm.

And with the Immortal Court newly established, Qianqiu had very few people at her disposal, so she was stretched thin, busy suppressing various large and small rebellions every day.

Moreover, during this process, many of the formerly loyal Great Abyss elders were captivated by the prosperity of the Immortal Realm.

They all thought that with no external enemies, it was time to enjoy themselves.

Some secretly colluded, while others became corrupt.

It truly echoed the saying: it's easy to conquer an empire, but difficult to maintain it.

Thus, Qianqiu was mentally and physically exhausted, yet she couldn't simply eliminate everyone at once, so she could only resolve matters slowly.

Fortunately, True Immortal Pills could produce a True Immortal every now and then, which prevented Qianqiu from being utterly overwhelmed.

Even so, it took a full six or seven hundred years to handle these matters completely.

Gu Liangyuan came here today to retrieve the last piece of the kunlun mirror.

The reason for inviting Tian Chanzi was because the owner of the last kunlun mirror fragment was the one who had pursued Tian Chanzi!

Moreover, this person possessed the Innate Great Beginning and Great Change Chaos Bodies!

He also had the Luck entry of the Earth Official's Absolution of Sins.

His buffs were maxed out!

After some effort, Gu Liangyuan severely injured him, and Tian Chanzi killed him.

As for Tianyi Old Man, he was purely there for a stroll.

Upon killing this person, Tian Chanzi suddenly felt enlightened.

After three hundred thousand years in the Void Tower, his cultivation had only reached the Middle Stage of True Immortal.

He had originally felt that Peak True Immortal was his limit.

But after this incident, he felt that becoming a Golden Immortal was not impossible.

Bidding farewell to Tian Chanzi, Gu Liangyuan returned to the Heavenly Court, and after absorbing both the Innate Great Beginning and Great Change Chaos Bodies and the Earth Official's Absolution of Sins, he emerged from seclusion again.

The first thing he did after emerging was to go to the Immortal Court to see Qianqiu.

Qianqiu, who was bent over her desk, saw Gu Liangyuan, her eyes first showing joy, then she deliberately put on a stern Face:

"You still remember to come back!"

Reversed Heavenly Gang!

Although he knew Qianqiu was doing it on purpose, a fire still ignited in his heart:

Good, good, good, let me show you how powerful your Master is!

Seven days later, Gu Liangyuan emerged from the Imperial Palace of the Immortal Court, holding his waist.

Looking at Qianqiu's sleeping quarters with humiliation, Gu Liangyuan secretly made a firm resolution.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a young man for being poor!

Once I return and diligently Cultivate my secret techniques, next time I will definitely defeat her!

After adjusting his breath for a moment, Gu Liangyuan's figure flickered, and he went to the Underworld to find Zai Xiyue.

The dignity Gu Liangyuan had lost with Qianqiu was fully recovered with Zai Xiyue, bringing him some comfort.

The Master and Disciple spent some intimate moments, then Gu Liangyuan and Zai Xiyue began to explore the Underworld together.

At this time, Zai Xiyue had already mastered the Dao Fruit of Reincarnation.

Within the Underworld, the Ten Yama Kings, the Five Ghost Emperors, and various Systems were all in place, no different from ancient times.

It was just that the overall strength was not as good as the ancient Underworld.

However, Gu Liangyuan believed that one day, it would surpass the ancient Underworld.

Bidding farewell to Zai Xiyue, Gu Liangyuan found Mo Chen within a major Sect in the Immortal Realm.

At this time, Mo Chen had also established his own Sect, expanding the influence of Forget-Love Peak.

Mortal Sect.

The name seemed ordinary.

But this Sect was located in the place with the richest Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Realm.

This contrast made the Sect's name seem extraordinarily profound.

At this moment, Mo Chen was lecturing within the Sect, and not only the Disciples of the Mortal Sect, but also Cultivators from hundreds of thousands of miles around came to listen.

Mo Chen welcomed all comers, widely spreading the Dao.

Gu Liangyuan listened for a while, then suddenly laughed heartily.

Mo Chen had already forged his own path.

Gu Liangyuan also did not know where Mo Chen's path would lead.

Everyone said that an Innate Dao Embryo was most likely to achieve Grand Unity, but Gu Liangyuan felt that if anyone's cultivation surpassed his in the future, that person would definitely be Mo Chen!

Without disturbing Mo Chen, Gu Liangyuan disappeared.

Then, Gu Liangyuan went to the Divine Song Family and found the current Song Family Head, Song Xianer.

The Divine Song Family had rendered meritorious service by following the Dragon, and Qianqiu rewarded them with fifty True Immortal Pills, various spiritual items, and conferred Song Xianer with the title of Immortal King.

Song Zhenjiang was also an old fox who had been in court for a long time; with Qianqiu's arrangement, the Divine Song Family understood Qianqiu's intention.

The rewards to the Song Family were entirely due to Song Xianer's Face.

Therefore, Song Zhenjiang voluntarily abdicated, and Song Xianer ascended to the position of Family Head from then on.

With the Song Family under Song Xianer's control, Qianqiu naturally felt assured in utilizing them.

Upon seeing Gu Liangyuan, Song Xianer was filled with joy.

The Master and Disciple had a deep exchange, laughing and reminiscing about past moments.

Leaving the Divine Song Mansion, Gu Liangyuan then went to the current second largest Family in the Immortal Realm, the Jun Family, for a visit.

Jun Ao Zhi had already become the Jun Family Head. After becoming a Golden Immortal, he spent his days exploring Secret Realms and rarely returned home.

For the most part, Lin Furen was still managing things, seemingly no different from before.

It's worth mentioning that the fact that Jun Ao Zhi was not Lin Furen's biological son was no longer a secret among the higher echelons.

It's just that no one knows why these people were so tight-lipped, keeping the truth from Jun Ao Zhi, the person involved, so he never knew.

As for whether he will know in the future, just let nature take its course.

Jiang Wubing, Bai Qing, Oriental Heng, Wan Wan… Gu Liangyuan met each of his Disciples one by one.

At this time, each of them had found their own cultivation goal and were spread across various parts of the Immortal Realm.

Each person had their own matters to attend to, and unless summoned by Gu Liangyuan, it was difficult for them to gather together.

The two maidservants, Qi and Shu, whom Gu Liangyuan had forcefully taken in, were now completely submissive.

Before Gu Liangyuan, they were maidservants, but as the saying goes, even a minor official before a prime minister's gate holds Rank.

Which Immortal wouldn't show some Face to the Great Celestial Venerable's maidservants?

After touring the Immortal Realm, Gu Liangyuan returned to his own residence.

Gu Liangyuan's residence was not in Great Abyss, but within the Supreme Sacred Ground.

However, the Supreme Sacred Ground at this time was no longer the original Sacred Ground.

The Supreme Sacred Ground of Kongsang was used as the ancestral land, and the current Supreme Sacred Ground had moved to the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

In ancient times, there were thirty-three layers of heaven; the other thirty-two layers had already shattered, but the Heaven of Detachment still largely remained.

This was the layer of heaven where the Doushuai Palace, where the Four Great Immortal Emperors used to hold discussions, was located.

Therefore, Gu Liangyuan refined it, making it the Heaven Above Heavens.

The former dwelling place of the Ancestral Master now serving as the new residence of the Supreme, it could be considered a return to roots.

Arriving at the Great Celestial Venerable's mansion, a beautiful woman greeted him at the door:

"Master has returned home."

At her summons, the maidservants and guards began to bustle about.

This beautiful woman was none other than the former Gu Shang Wangmu.

Gu Liangyuan had intended to eradicate her, but at the pleas of Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua, Gu Liangyuan spared her.

He placed an Immortal Foundation Lock on her, making her the head housekeeper, with Jiang Wei as the second housekeeper.

The four maidservants usually did not concern themselves with household affairs, only serving Gu Liangyuan personally.

The once high and mighty Gu Shang Wangmu now reduced to his golden canary, Gu Liangyuan still felt a unique sense of satisfaction.

Returning to his cultivation chamber, Gu Liangyuan immediately entered seclusion to refine all the Chaos Bodies he had acquired.

Three days later, the refinement was complete.

Gu Liangyuan flipped his hand, and took out the kunlun mirror again.

With the four fragments collected, the Dao Fruit of Time and Space was also gathered.

After Gu Liangyuan placed the Dao Fruit of Time and Space into the kunlun mirror, a golden light flashed, and the kunlun mirror was restored to its original state.

Feeling the rich power of time on it, Gu Liangyuan smiled.

With a flicker, he arrived in Chaos.

Gu Liangyuan summoned the kunlun mirror, his hands constantly forming incantations.

As Gu Liangyuan performed the incantations, the power of time on the kunlun mirror became even richer.

Once it reached a certain level of richness, Gu Liangyuan shouted:

"Appear!"

As the word was uttered, a broken golden river stretched across the heavens and earth.

All past scenes manifested upon the River of Time.

"The past, after all, perishes."

Gu Liangyuan sighed with emotion, then summoned the Chaos Bell.

While the Chaos Bell suppressed the River of Time, he pointed a finger at the kunlun mirror.

The kunlun mirror twisted for a moment, then suddenly emitted a suction force, drawing all the water from the broken River of Time into itself.

As the River of Time completely disappeared, the two main stars, the Great Yin and the Great Yang, instantly dimmed.

The next moment, the kunlun mirror exploded with a boom, transforming into countless specks of light.

Each of these specks of light contained boundless power of time and space.

The specks of light changed, sometimes gathering in one place, sometimes scattering.

They gathered like a fist, and scattered like mercury flowing across the ground!

After a series of transformations, a new River of Time appeared before Gu Liangyuan's eyes.

The starting point of the River of Time was the present, but where it would flow in the future, no one knew.

The sun and moon stars, at the instant the River of Time appeared, lit up again.

The Great Dao manifested, and Dragons and Phoenixes cried in unison!

The Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man once again welcomed evolution.

The mountains, land, and oceans, surprisingly, expanded several times over with the vibrations.

The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth also subtly showed signs of returning to its Innate state!

The Eternal World, formed!

This year was called the Supreme First Year by the Immortals.

Gu Liangyuan looked at this scene, feeling relieved.

"It's time to complete the final task of the Dynasty Path."

In the third year of the Supreme Era, Qianqiu led her civil and military officials to Ping Mountain once again.

After three Fenshen ceremonies, Ping Mountain was no longer the Ping Mountain of old.

As the world plane ascended, Ping Mountain naturally underwent changes.

At this time, Ping Mountain was towering into the clouds, with a magnificent Aura.

Clouds and mist obscured its Peaks, and from within the clouds, the roar of a Dragon could be heard.

Vaguely, a ten-thousand-zhang golden Dragon could be seen, tumbling within the sea of clouds!

This Dragon was precisely the Great Abyss Luck Golden Dragon!

Everyone knew the importance of this Fenshen ceremony, and members of the Dao Alliance also spontaneously came to observe.

Reciting the sacrificial text, offering incense; Qianqiu, having performed Fenshen ceremonies multiple times, was very familiar with the procedure.

As the process concluded, Qianqiu declared:

"The Great Abyss rose from Kongsang's Eastern Continent, pacified Kongsang, entered the Western Immortal Realm, swept aside the eight directions, and unified the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Its virtue and merit are witnessed by Heaven and Earth. The Heavenly Court, established!"

As Qianqiu's voice fell, the Luck Golden Dragon let out a high-pitched Dragon roar.

Heavenly flowers rained down in profusion, golden lotuses gushed from the earth… countless heavenly phenomena appeared simultaneously.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the Dynasty Path mission. Great Dao Will and eight hundred Golden Immortal Pills have been issued."

In a trance, Gu Liangyuan felt as if he had arrived in a mysterious space.

This space was different from the Heavenly Dao space, everywhere dark and silent.

Only in the very center of the space was there a point of light.

Gu Liangyuan stepped forward, tentatively reaching out his hand.

The moment Gu Liangyuan touched this point of light, it surged into Gu Liangyuan's Sea of Consciousness.

"This is… the Great Beginning Chaos Body!"

As the Five Tai Chaos Bodies completely merged, Gu Liangyuan understood everything.

It turned out that these Five Tai Chaos Bodies were the manifestation of the Great Dao Will.

With the Five Tai gathered, he was now truly transcendent.

The Great Dao was Gu Liangyuan, and Gu Liangyuan was not the Great Dao!

To replace the Great Dao Will with his own divine thoughts!

With a thought, various Laws and Dao Fruits in the world were at his disposal.

"I say, Creation!"

As Gu Liangyuan uttered the words, Chaos Qi gathered, and following the order of the Innate Five Tai, the Great Change, Great Beginning, Great Prime, Great Simplicity, and Great Ultimate flowed, and a world seed manifested out of thin air.

According to Gu Liangyuan's will, the world seed split into two, with clear Yang Qi rising and turbid Yin Qi sinking.

Before long, a Small World manifested before Gu Liangyuan.

However, this world was a vast emptiness, with nothing in it.

Gu Liangyuan continued:

"I say, let there be light!"

As his voice fell, the entire Small World instantly brightened.

Gu Liangyuan did not continue experimenting, then destroyed this Small World.

He had already understood his current Realm.

Omnipotent!

Whatever he thought, it would exist, it would happen!

But there was only one thing that was beyond his control.

This thing was the System.

What, after all, was the origin of the System?

As Gu Liangyuan pondered the System's origin, he saw a speck of light fly out from his Sea of Consciousness.

The speck of light dispersed, condensing into the phantom of a young man wearing a Dragon robe.

Gu Liangyuan had never seen this person, but for the first time, Gu Liangyuan felt that he was inferior in appearance.

The young man looked at Gu Liangyuan, then suddenly smiled:

"My name is Gu Jing!"

(The End of the Book)

I'm sure my old fans would have guessed it long ago; the protagonist of the previous book, Gu Jing, created a System in the later stages and threw it into the River of Time.

This System was created by Gu Jing.

To be honest, I'm not very satisfied with the ending of this book. Many people might have noticed that it was planned to be longer.

Here, I apologize for disappointing everyone.

It's not that I don't want to write anymore, nor is it that it's not profitable, but rather that my skill level is insufficient and my experience is lacking.

The previous book was my first successful book, but I ran out of steam after only about 700,000 words.

To avoid this situation with this book, I started focusing on setting up foreshadowing and extending the plot.

But by the end, it became long and tedious.

This is not what I wanted to present to my readers, and it was difficult for me to write as well.

I don't have the talent of those great authors who become famous with one book; all I can do is strive to make each book better than the last.

I think instead of continuing to drag it out for the sake of a bit of manuscript fee, it's better to quickly finish the story, absorb the experience from this book, and present a more exciting story in the next one.

I've been writing almost continuously for a year and a half between these two books with hardly any rest, writing during Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day.

After this book concludes, I will take about a month off to organize my thoughts, outline the new book, and study the works of great authors more.

In this book, I saw familiar Faces from the previous book's readers. Because there were so many messages, there might not have been much interaction, but seeing those familiar IDs often brought a smile to my Face.

I hope to see you all again in my next book.

Thank you for your tolerance.

What?

You want to give a five-star review.

Who wants a five-star review?

That's so embarrassing (rubbing hands)
