After Gu Changyuan's consciousness was stripped away, it did not return directly to the Cangwu inheritance space as he had expected.
He felt his consciousness being pulled by a force, passing through layers of spatial barriers, drifting toward the very core of the battlefield.
When he regained his senses, he found himself floating in a corner of the void, only a few hundred zhang away from the core area where Immortal Emperor Cangwu was battling the Alien Beast King.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu was no longer just fighting; he was burning.
His cyan Daoist robe was already in tatters, its hem torn in half and its cuffs scorched black.
His emerald jade hairpin had shattered at some unknown point, leaving his long hair loose over his shoulders, stained with blood.
The four human Immortal Emperors had already fallen. They were either devoured by the devouring force and turned into energy, or struck down by the fierce counterattacks of the Alien Beast King. Their corpses floated in the void, dragged slowly by the gravitational pull of the giant eye.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu was fighting one against three.
The fire-attribute alien beast, freed from its one-on-one restraint after the fall of two Immortal Emperors, charged at Immortal Emperor Cangwu from the flank.
The bone-winged alien beast, dragging its broken left wing, flanked him from another direction.
Although the Alien Beast King had been severely injured by him, it had fully recovered through the energy feedback of the giant eye, and its aura was much more majestic than before.
It was obvious that it had never shown its true strength in front of Immortal Emperor Cangwu and the others before.
It simply floated directly in front, its vertical pupils locked dead on Immortal Emperor Cangwu.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu knew that this battle was already lost.
In those cyan eyes, there was no fear, no anger, nor the relief that should appear on the face of a dying man.
He had lost, lost thoroughly, and lost without any suspense.
He originally thought his research on the Alien Beast King was deep enough, having deduced countless times, simulated countless times, and peered into countless branches of the future using the Great Dao of Time.
But he never expected that the other party was not simply devouring spiritual energy—it could devour time, space, karma, and reincarnation.
Those scenes of victory he had once seen, those successful, glorious futures where he beheaded the Alien Beast King with his sword, were all fake.
Those scenes had indeed existed, but they were not the true future; rather, they were bait deliberately left by the Alien Beast King.
It drew him into this war, forced out all his trump cards, and only then revealed its true fangs.
Before that giant eye appeared, before the devouring force truly erupted, all of this was nothing more than a game for the Alien Beast King to kill time.
It had never been serious from the very beginning. It was just watching a play, watching these ant-like creatures struggle and resist before it, and then, feeling bored, it moved a finger and overturned the chessboard.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu closed his eyes.
The aura within his body began to collapse at an astonishing speed. It was not dissipating, not scattering, but collapsing.
He compressed the immortal power, spiritual power, vitality, and divine soul power within his body—all the power he had accumulated over these long years—toward a single point.
He was burning his life essence. A life essence at the Immortal Emperor level was enough to exchange for a single release of power that surpassed his own limits.
It was not used to seek survival, but to do something that would allow him to close his eyes in peace after death.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
In the void, a gigantic parasol tree manifested behind him.
Every leaf on the canopy was emerald green, and cyan light flowed through the veins of every leaf.
Beneath the parasol tree, a river of the Cangwu Great Dao traversed the void. The river water was formed by the convergence of countless tiny cyan specks of light.
Countless phantoms of cultivators appeared above the Dao river.
Those cultivators who had previously fought, sacrificed themselves, and been devoured in the human army—their figures surfaced one by one above the Dao river.
The moment their phantoms appeared, they immediately dissipated. They were not scattered by some force, but because they no longer existed anywhere.
Their physical bodies were devoured, their divine souls were devoured, and even the marks they left in the Cangwu Great Dao were being devoured.
The devouring force of that giant eye not only devoured their present and past, but also devoured their future and their reincarnation.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu clenched his jaw tightly.
His life essence was being consumed at an irreversible speed, but the movements of his hands did not slow down.
Cangwu's Final Dao: Dirge of All Things.
Using the parasol tree as the foundation, the Cangwu Great Dao as the river, and his burning life essence as the catalyst, he laid down an endless cage around them.
He sliced the space surrounding this battlefield into countless fault lines, and then stacked them together layer upon layer.
Any existence attempting to break through the cage from the inside would lose its direction within these countless layers of spatial faults, forever unable to find an exit.
Cyan light exploded in the void, and the massive canopy of the Cangwu tree suddenly retracted.
Sword light from Cangwu's Final Dao shot out from every leaf of the parasol tree and surged from every tributary of the Cangwu Great Dao.
Two mournful screams rang out, and the two alien beast Immortal Emperors were instantly suppressed and killed on the spot.
The devouring force of the Alien Beast King could not completely dissolve this power in the face of the sword light of Cangwu's Final Dao, and the black mist was torn open.
A trace of surprise flashed across its vertical pupils—it finally felt a hint of threat, an emotion it had not experienced for a very, very long time.
The sword light landed on it, slicing a deep gash into its fur. Dark green blood surged from the wound, floating in the void.
It let out a low roar, shaking the entire void until it trembled.
But that was all.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu looked at the slowly healing wound, watched the black mist of the devouring force re-condense on the Alien Beast King's body, and saw the indifferent, condescending light resurface in its dark golden vertical pupils.
He knew that even at his absolute peak, it would be extremely difficult to kill it.
The only thing left for him to do was one last act: to render it incapable of harming this world.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu released the longsword in his hand, pressing all ten fingers down into the void simultaneously.
All the time and space in this area of the void were completely flattened, folded, overlapped, and intertwined, twisting into an endless spiral staircase that extended out of the void, leading to a place with no direction, no coordinates, and no exit.
Then, he pushed the Alien Beast King, along with everything within a hundred zhang around it, into that spiral staircase.
He clenched his palms fiercely, and the final layer of the spatial fault at the entrance of the spiral staircase completely sealed shut.
In the final moment before it closed, the Alien Beast King's vertical pupils met his eyes. In that gaze, there was anger and disdain, as if to say: I will return very soon.
The void returned to tranquility.
The Cangwu tree behind Immortal Emperor Cangwu suddenly shattered. The fragmented leaves drifted down from the void, twirling in mid-air as they slowly dimmed, turning into nothingness one after another.

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.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
