When Gu Changqing withdrew his mind from the vast amount of spoils in the system space, the entire new world was still dead silent.
It seemed as if even the laws of heaven and earth were holding their breath in front of him, the newly crowned uncrowned king.
Just then.
A change that cannot be described in words has occurred.
It's not pressure, nor is it aura.
Rather, the most basic rules of this world seemed to be gently moved by an invisible giant hand, emitting a sound that originated from the beginning of time.
An extremely ancient thought, as if carrying the silent thoughts of eternity, descended silently into Gu Changqing's heart.
Ancestor.
This time, he was no longer simply giving advice or warnings, but took the initiative to initiate a deeper communication across time and space.
There were no words, only the purest rhyme of Tao flowing, turning into majestic information, and directly imprinted on Gu Changqing's soul.
"Do you know why the Gu family has survived so long?"
A grand and ancient question echoed in his mind.
Gu Changqing's eyes were calm as he waited quietly for what was to come.
The next moment, a blurry and vast picture slowly unfolded before his eyes along with that thought.
It was an indescribable area, which seemed to be the end of the universe and the origin of all worlds.
There is no time or space, no laws, only the purest "nothing" and "something" interweaving and colliding.
[The place of end].
These four words, like a decree from heaven, directly appeared in Gu Changqing's cognition.
The ancestor's calm and peaceful thoughts resounded once again.
"My Gu family has been carrying a mission since its birth."
"guard."
"A 'gate' guarding the [Land of the End], and a secret behind the gate."
As the word "secret" emerged, Gu Changqing clearly felt that even the ancestor's unchanging intention had shown a trace of imperceptible solemnity.
"My sleep is not for healing, nor for retreat from the world."
“It’s about suppression.”
"After suppressing that 'gate,' the unusual movements intensified with the passage of time."
The ancestor's thoughts continued to be transmitted, revealing a truth that would make even the Immortal Emperor tremble.
"The secret behind that door is related to an ultimate catastrophe that will sweep across the heavens and no one can escape."
"It is the last barrier... against the catastrophe."
Finally, a hint of strong interest flashed in Gu Changqing's eyes.
It turns out that the so-called fairyland in the upper realm and the so-called battle between the Immortal Emperors are nothing but children's play in the face of this real cosmic crisis.
"The Land of the End is the origin of the Immortal Realm and the destination of all paths."
"And the [Ancient Taboo] you saw was nothing more than a trace of energy leaking out from behind the 'door,' transforming into a sealed existence, erased history, or... an untouchable rule."
The old ancestor's thoughts suddenly became a little cold.
“There are real watchers there.”
"They are not Immortal Emperors, but beings that have long surpassed that realm."
"They are the embodiment of 'rules', viewing all deviations as threats. Forget goodwill; they don't even possess the emotions of living beings."
The information flow paused slightly at this point.
The old ancestor seemed to be examining Gu Changqing's soul, feeling that he had no fear at all, but was increasingly excited about fighting.
After a long time, that ancient thought was filled with a faint sense of...relief?
“No one can force you to take this path.”
"But this is the fate that runs in your blood."
"The choice is yours."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient thought that changed the rules of heaven and earth slowly receded like the tide, and the new world returned to its original state.
It was as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion.
But Gu Changqing knew it was not the case.
He could feel that the innate arrogance and indifference deep in his blood seemed to resonate strangely with the "fate" that his ancestor had spoken of.
responsibility?
No.
The corners of Gu Changqing's mouth slowly curled up into a cold and playful arc.
For him, this is not a responsibility, nor a burden.
But it is an admission ticket to a higher level, a more top-level hunting ground.
The so-called "Ultimate Catastrophe" is nothing more than a grander drama.
And the so-called [Above the Immortal Emperor] is nothing more than... a group of fatter leeks.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the sky of the new world, passed through the entire upper realm of the fairyland, and finally fell on the "Land of the End" that represented the origin and end of all things.
"A secret guarded for generations?"
"That's really interesting."
"In that case, let me... uncover it myself."
