Gu Changge looked at them indifferently, his eyes devoid of the slightest ripple. He showed neither the pride of a victor nor pity for the dying.
To him, these five people were nothing more than obstacles to be cleared, mere clues for uncovering the truth.
Gu Changge spoke no more. Forming his fingers into a sword, he slashed at the five Supreme Beings from afar.
Om—
An invisible suction force materialized out of thin air. It did not extract their life essence; instead, it precisely locked onto the Immortal Qi within their bodies—an energy that did not belong to this realm and carried an alien aura!
The five Supreme Beings felt in horror that the Immortal Qi supporting their vigorous vitality and delaying their decay was being forcefully stripped from the depths of their Dao Foundations, as if pulled by invisible threads!
Five halos of different colors, all exuding an extraordinary aura, were forced out from the top of their heads and suspended in mid-air.
Having lost the support of this Immortal Qi, the auras of the five Supreme Beings instantly withered like deflated balloons!
Their faces became old and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their skin filled with wrinkles, their eyes dimmed, and their vitality dried up. They completely reverted to the decaying, near-death state that self-severed Supreme Beings were supposed to be in!
They could not even maintain basic levitation. Slumping to the ground, they gasped heavily for air, their eyes filled with despair.
Gu Changge reached out and beckoned, drawing the five clusters of Immortal Qi into his palm. He probed them slightly with his divine sense.
Hmph.
He gave a cold snort and lightly rubbed his fingertips together. The five clusters of Immortal Qi that the Supreme Beings treated as priceless treasures instantly collapsed and annihilated like inferior smoke, vanishing without a trace.
Impure and mottled. They are nothing but defective products that have been diluted and mixed with a few Immortal Realm laws.
A trace of disdain flashed through Gu Changge's eyes.
To think that such inferior items could buy you off to betray the very world that nurtured you. How pathetic and detestable.
Your sins cannot be absolved even by a hundred deaths. However, your memories still hold some value.
His voice was flat, yet it sounded like a final judgment.
After speaking, Great Dao runes circulated within Gu Changge's eyes once more, far more profound and vast than before.
His gaze seemed to materialize into substance, acting like two divine chains of order that pierced directly into the deepest depths of the five Supreme Beings' spiritual seas between their brows!
Arghhhh—!
A sensation of soul-tearing agony, ten million times more painful than physical destruction, instantly swept through the remaining consciousness of the five Supreme Beings!
Their divine souls felt as though they were being pierced, ground, and dissected upon billions of sharp needles!
Gu Changge forcibly flipped through all the memory fragments of their long lives:
Rising from humble beginnings, contending among ten thousand races, rising alongside other geniuses, fighting bloody battles all the way, finally proving the Dao to become an Emperor, ruling the universe in dazzling glory...
Then reaching the end of their lifespans, unwilling to pass away in meditation, severing themselves in the restricted areas, lying dormant through the ages, wandering between slumber and awakening, witnessing the changing of epochs, and their mindsets gradually twisting from looking down upon all living beings to becoming distorted, greedy, and desperately clinging to life...
Finally, the turning point that changed everything: the mysterious cross-realm teleportation array, the alluring Immortal Qi, the promises from the Immortal Realm...
How they went from hesitation to firm resolve, how they secretly laid out arrays to siphon the world's origin at various key nodes throughout the Xuanhuang Great World.
How they obtained Immortal Qi to prolong their lives through repeated transactions, and how, in their thirst for longevity and the path to immortality, they gradually grew numb, selectively ignoring the decay of heaven and earth caused by the loss of this realm's origin...
Countless images, sounds, emotions, and conspiracies...
Like a breached dam, they were forcibly extracted, sorted, and read by Gu Changge with supreme mighty power.
Especially the details regarding the cross-realm teleportation array, the methods of communication, the layout of the array formations, and the vague information they sensed about the Immortal Realm... All of it was clearly peeled away and imprinted into Gu Changge's mind.
This process was a torture more cruel than death by a thousand cuts for the five Supreme Beings.
All their secrets, all their pride, all their darkness, and all their schemes were laid bare under the sun, leaving them with absolutely no dignity.
A few breaths later, the Great Dao runes flowing in Gu Changge's eyes slowly settled. He had obtained all the information he wanted.
As for the five Supreme Beings, their eyes were completely dim. Their divine souls were already fragmented, leaving only the most foundational specks of soul light flickering weakly like candles in the wind.
Gu Changge did not spare them another glance, merely spitting out four words indifferently:
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
He lightly flicked his sleeve.
There were no earth-shattering explosions, nor any brilliant lights.
The five Supreme Beings who had once stood at the pinnacle of the universe and looked down upon the ages—their emperor bodies, their shattered divine souls, and all traces of their existence—completely dissipated between heaven and earth under this understated flick.
Along with the clamor, conspiracies, and sins they brought, everything returned to eternal nothingness.
Om—!!!
An indescribable wail originating from the origin of the universe suddenly rang out!
It was not a sound, but a violent tremor of the myriad Dao laws! It was as if a vital pillar supporting heaven and earth had suddenly collapsed!
Immediately after, anomalies suddenly arose in the vast starry sky!
Boundless blood clouds surged out of thin air, converging into an ocean!
These were no ordinary clouds, but formations condensed from fragments of Great Dao laws and the sorrowful Dao rhythm dissipating from the fall of Emperor Realm experts!
The Emperor's Fall Blood Rain!
A pattering, dark red rain of blood drifted down from the blood clouds. Every drop of rain was incomparably heavy, crushing the void and containing endless sorrow and an aura of destruction!
This was heaven and earth weeping for the fall of Supreme Beings; it was the laws mourning the demise of Great Emperors!
Wherever the blood rain passed, the stars dimmed, and all living things shared in the sorrow!
This was the grandest funeral anomaly between heaven and earth, triggered only when Great Emperor-level existences completely perished!
However—
Just as the sky full of blood clouds had gathered, and the Emperor's Fall Blood Rain was about to pour down, at the exact moment the entire universe was immersed in this sorrowful atmosphere—
Noisy.
Gu Changge furrowed his brows slightly, seemingly quite impatient with this heavenly anomaly.
He did not even look at the terrifying blood clouds shrouding the sea of stars. He merely raised his hand casually and gave a gentle wave toward the firmament.
As if shooing away an annoying fly.
Disperse.
A single word was spat out, and his words became the law!
An invisible and intangible will, one that stood above the myriad Daos, instantly permeated the air!
The universe's laws, which had been wailing and trembling, were instantly smoothed out by an invisible giant hand, returning to silence!
The terrifying blood clouds enveloping endless star domains and containing monstrous sorrow melted and disintegrated in an instant, like ice and snow thrown into a blazing sun, vanishing without a trace!
The impending Emperor's Fall Blood Rain, capable of crushing stars, evaporated directly as if it had never appeared!
Between heaven and earth, clarity and silence were instantly restored.
All the anomalies, all the wails, and all the sorrow were forcibly interrupted and completely erased under Gu Changge's understated wave!
Even heaven and earth were stripped of the right to weep for these five Supreme Beings!
The entire core of the Tianhuang Restricted Area instantly plunged into a deathly silence.
Only Gu Changge remained, his white clothes whiter than snow, standing quietly in the void, along with Little Black and Little White, who watched in awe from a distance.
Gu Changge cast his gaze deep into the void, as if piercing through endless space to see the array flags that had been laid down, and the unseen mastermind from the "Immortal Realm" that might be lurking in the shadows.
"Immortal... Realm..."
He murmured to himself, the profound depths of his eyes surpassing even the starry sky.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
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.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
