Just when the End Chain, which was powerful enough to erase all traces of the Immortal Emperor's existence, was about to touch Gu Changqing.
An indescribable change occurred.
It is neither a conflict of laws nor a cancellation of divine power.
Instead, the most basic rules of this world, which is eroded by the power of the end and is heading towards "nothingness", are forcibly covered by an even older and more domineering force.
The drooping Chain of the End froze for a moment.
It was as if time itself was paused in the face of this newly emerged force.
A blurry shadow that seemed to stand on the top of the eternity appeared silently behind Gu Changqing.
Ancestor.
This time, it was no longer a simple communication of thoughts.
His divine consciousness actually condensed into substance for a short time, bringing with it a terrifying aura that even the power of the end was afraid of.
He didn't make a move.
He didn't even look at the Chains of the End that were enough to make all the Immortal Emperors in the upper realm tremble.
He just "watched" Gu Changqing calmly.
An extremely ancient sound of Tao resounded directly in the depths of Gu Changqing's soul. It was not words, but the purest inheritance of Tao and reason.
"Resistance may only gain the surface, but not the root."
"The power of the end is both a poison and a tonic."
“But, you have to use the right method.”
The moment the words fell, the void beneath Gu Changqing's feet began to twist and fold violently.
It was not destroyed by the power of the end, but under the will of the ancestor, it took the initiative to open a portal to an unknown place.
Behind the gate is an ancient cemetery that stretches as far as the eye can see, filled with fairy mist and majestic imperial power. Every tombstone seems to carry the weight of an era.
Gu family, an ancient forbidden area buried in the new world!
"This place is the burial place of our Gu family's ancestors. It is also... the final barrier erected to defend against what lies beyond the 'door.'"
The ancestor's thoughts came again, carrying a hint of eternal vicissitudes.
"There lies the true foundation of our Gu family, an immortal mark created specifically to devour and suppress the power of the end."
"It requires the true bloodline of the Gu family to awaken it."
"This is both a test for you and also your... opportunity."
The path leading to the restricted area is not a golden avenue, but a blood-red staircase paved with countless broken immortal weapons and ancient skeletons, full of trials of iron, blood and killing.
Gu Changqing understood instantly.
The ancestor's action was not to save him from danger.
Instead, it was telling him that there was a more efficient and thorough way to "harvest" the current crisis.
If you resist the power of the end, you may be able to obtain the fragments of the law returned by the system.
But if he enters the restricted area and obtains the [Immortal Mark], he will be able to... completely transform this power of the end into his own nourishment!
Without the slightest hesitation.
Not even a hint of gratitude.
Gu Changqing's face showed his usual coldness and indifference, as well as a hint of strong interest in the new toy he was about to get.
He knew that this was a shortcut paved for him by his ancestors to a higher realm.
It is also a crucial part of the Gu family's eternal layout.
He took a step forward and stepped directly onto the blood-red stairs leading to the depths of the restricted area.
Behind him, the stagnant Chain of the End resumed its movement, and like a shark smelling blood, it madly chased into the portal!
However, the moment they entered the restricted area, waves of majestic imperial power from the ancestors of the Gu family suddenly awakened from those ancient tombstones, transforming into an invisible barrier, severely slowing down the invasion speed of the Chains of the End.
Gu Changqing felt the will of the ancestors that examined, tested, and even had a hint of approval.
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a cold arc.
There was no reverence for his ancestors in his eyes.
There is only an endless desire to possess the so-called [Immortal Mark] in the deepest part of the forbidden area.
"A trump card against the End?"
"No."
"This is the beginning of my, Gu Changqing's, journey to devour the end!"
