Cultivation knows no time; it passes like a fleeting shadow, and in the blink of an eye, a century had gone by.
A hundred years later, Gu Qingfeng stood tall at the summit of the mountain, greedily absorbing the tribulations permeating the void.
The seeds he had sown a century ago had long since taken root, sprouted, and grown vigorously, providing him with an endless stream of tribulations.
And he had absorbed these tribulations for a hundred years. During this century, he successfully completed his Origin of Death.
Already possessing the majority of the Origin of Death, he easily completed it by relying on the mutual attraction between the origins.
Now, after a century of absorption, the Origin of Calamity was also on the verge of complete maturation.
Everything was progressing smoothly—so smoothly that Gu Qingfeng even began to doubt reality.
It turned out that the Five Directions Immortal Emperors really were not joking; those five truly did not interfere!
After absorbing the Origin of Death back then, Gu Qingfeng was basically invincible below the Five Directions Immortal Emperors. It could be said that at that time, apart from the Five Directions Immortal Emperors, no one could stop him.
Yet the Five Directions Immortal Emperors seemed to have vanished, never showing their faces over the past century, allowing him to develop and grow as he pleased.
"Whether you truly do not care or harbor some hidden conspiracy, it no longer matters. Once I become an Emperor, I will naturally investigate everything," Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself.
Suddenly, demonic light flickered in his eyes, and a majestic demonic might erupted from his body. His violent aura stretched across hundreds of millions of miles, making the void boil like water. His black hair danced wildly as his oppressive might grew stronger and stronger.
"The opportunity to become an Emperor is today!" Gu Qingfeng's eyes were like cold lightning, his demonic gaze piercing through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
But right at this moment, the void trembled violently, and five towering figures with immortal might as deep as an abyss appeared simultaneously. They were none other than the Five Directions Immortal Emperors.
Seeing these five, a cold sneer formed on Gu Qingfeng's lips. "Finally showing your true colors? So you wanted to deliver a thunderous strike at the critical moment of my ascension? Jie jie jie... But your greatest mistake was letting me grow for a hundred years! Now..."
"Fellow Daoist Gu, what are you talking about? Why would we have nothing better to do than stop you from becoming an Emperor?" the Eternal Immortal Emperor asked in astonishment.
Gu Qingfeng: "..."
"Hmph!" he scoffed coldly. "Are you still going to pretend at this point?"
The Eternal Immortal Emperor grew even more puzzled. "We came because the Dao Lord wishes to see you."
"The Dao Lord? Wants to see me?" Gu Qingfeng slightly furrowed his brows. "Choosing the exact moment I am about to become an Emperor, and you still say you are not trying to stop me?"
The Eternal Immortal Emperor could not help but laugh. "Fellow Daoist Gu, you misunderstand. The Dao Lord means to summon you after you have become an Emperor."
Gu Qingfeng was slightly taken aback. "The Dao Lord certainly has great audacity. Is he not afraid that after I become an Emperor, I will overturn his Eternal True World?"
"The Dao Lord does not care." The Eternal Immortal Emperor replied with just this one sentence.
The Dao Lord does not care?
Gu Qingfeng sneered inwardly. What a Dao Lord! Since you are so arrogant and dismissive of everything, I will overturn your orthodoxy in the future and become a Demon Lord myself!
"For what matter does the Dao Lord wish to see me?"
The Eternal Immortal Emperor shook his head. "Who knows? Probably to confer a title upon you. Back in the day, the Immortal Emperor of Time was also conferred a title by the Dao Lord after becoming an Emperor. The entire Eternal True World is ruled by the five of us. Since the Origin of Calamity is so strong, the Dao Lord probably wants to add you to the Five Directions Immortal Emperors. Adding you is not bad either; after all, it is perfectly reasonable for the Five Directions Immortal Emperors to consist of six people, right?"
Gu Qingfeng: "..."
He did not reply, but instead began to focus entirely on absorbing the tribulations.
Buzz!
The Black Lotus of Calamity was summoned, hovering above his head, breathtakingly beautiful, swaying in the wind.
With every sway, massive amounts of tribulations from across the entire Eternal True World would converge here.
Endless calamities transformed into billions of black dragons, surging in from all directions.
A miraculous scene unfolded in the Eternal True World.
All over the world, those who were about to die, the injured, the suffering, and all living beings enduring tribulations in the world, were freed from their sea of bitterness in an instant.
The dead returned to life, the injured healed, illnesses were cured, wars fell silent, and natural disasters came to a halt...
Various unimaginable anomalies occurred at this moment.
At this moment, all the calamities in the world surged towards Gu Qingfeng.
The Black Lotus of Calamity above his head became increasingly bewitching. Once hovering between illusion and reality, it was now gradually solidifying.
Moreover, the originally budding Black Lotus of Calamity was slowly opening its petals.
Feeling the majestic calamities within his body, Gu Qingfeng looked up at the sky and laughed wildly. "Jie jie jie... Billions of calamities all return to my body! The world is free of tribulations!!"
Following his loud laughter, a booming sound echoed!
The Black Lotus of Calamity fully bloomed!
The sky full of tribulations vanished completely, the entire Eternal True World trembled, and an indescribable, mysterious aura slowly rose.
The Black Lotus of Calamity slowly merged into Gu Qingfeng's body.
Bang!
In an instant, Gu Qingfeng exploded.
His body shattered, his soul shattered, and his Dao shattered along with them!
His entire being seemed to have been completely broken and pulverized from the outside in.
From life to death, from reality to nothingness.
It was as if he had completely vanished from the world.
But the next moment.
A brilliant and forbidden light of tribulation emerged, like the rising morning sun. It was faint at first, but as time passed, it grew brighter and more dazzling. Countless fragmented tribulations merged into it, like an eternal light piercing through the river of destiny.
The entire Eternal True World seemed to be swallowed by this gleam of tribulation light.
Gradually, the tribulation light expanded, like the dawn of primordial chaos.
Rumble!
The tribulation light suddenly burst apart, echoing with a sound like the splitting of heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth opened anew, and all phenomena were born!
A mysterious, forbidden, and terrifying aura surged out like a tidal wave, akin to a bottomless abyss threatening to swallow the world.
Suddenly, a blurred and illusory figure was born from within.
With the appearance of this figure, the myriad Daos began to tremble, the laws gradually fell into chaos, the void collapsed continuously, the turbulent flows of time and space surged, and the river of destiny stirred up monstrous waves.
He stood there like the ruler of heaven and earth. All around him, time and space intersected, and the forbidden aura raged like boiling water.
Abruptly, the figure let out a burst of bone-chilling, sinister laughter.
"Jie jie jie... After years of bitter cultivation, becoming an Emperor in a single day—is this the scenery from the absolute peak? It truly is intoxicating!"
As this terrifying, sinister laughter rang out.
Boom!
Countless shocking anomalies shattered like bubbles.
The river of destiny vanished, the shattered void was restored, as if absolutely nothing had happened.
And between heaven and earth, only that one towering figure with demonic might as deep as an abyss stood proudly, standing tall and supporting heaven and earth just like the legendary god Pangu!
It was none other than Gu Qingfeng!
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
