As Gu Changqing watched indifferently, the entrance to the end of the world continued to expand wildly.
The law of the end is like ink, infecting everything. Even time and space are distorted and collapsed in the face of this force.
This place is an absolute forbidden zone for life.
However, in the next moment.
A will that is older, more vast, and more unfathomable than the law of the end has descended.
This will has no form, but it is more real than anything else in the world.
As soon as it appeared, the violent law of the end, which was powerful enough to decompose the Immortal King, became docile and calm in an instant, just like a minister meeting a king.
An illusory yet solid figure slowly condensed in front of Gu Changqing.
It was the Immortal Emperor ancestor of the Gu family.
The projection of his spiritual thoughts at this moment was clearer than ever before, as if he had already awakened a considerable part from that endless slumber.
His gaze fell calmly on the twisted entrance, and his voice, filled with the vicissitudes of time, rang directly in Gu Changqing's sea of consciousness.
"Changqing."
"This place is one of the ancient roads leading to the end of the world."
"It shouldn't have happened at this point in time."
The old ancestor turned his gaze to Gu Changqing, with a barely perceptible hint of approval in his eyes.
"It's you."
"Your 'investment' in that forbidden will, and the mark it left on you, disrupted a certain balance and prematurely activated the plans my Gu family had hidden for countless epochs."
These words contain a great deal of information.
But Gu Changqing's face still had the same indifference that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
It seemed as if all this had been anticipated by him.
The old ancestor seemed to be accustomed to this. He slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, a jade pendant of extremely ancient simplicity appeared.
This jade pendant is not made of any divine gold or immortal material. It is made of a chaotic stone with only an extremely complex totem engraved on it.
That is the oldest and most core family mark of the Gu family.
The moment it appeared, the [Mark of the Law of the End] deep in Gu Changqing's soul actually made a humming sound of longing.
"This thing is not a magic treasure."
The ancestor's voice continued to ring out.
"It is a fragment of the origin that an ancestor of my Gu family brought out from the very core of the Land of the End in a long-forgotten era."
"It's not offensive at all, but it's your highest credential for walking in that area."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient jade pendant flew lightly towards Gu Changqing.
"The Land of Ending is far more dangerous than you can imagine. It contains the true ancient taboos, and has been the site of the fall of more than one Immortal Emperor."
"remember."
The old ancestor's tone was more solemn than ever before.
"This jade pendant can guide you to a way out at a critical moment, and even... activate the last trump card left by my Gu family deep in that restricted area."
Gu Changqing reached out and took the jade pendant.
It feels warm to the touch, yet seems to carry the weight of countless epochs.
The jade pendant and the imprint deep in his soul instantly resonated perfectly, and a majestic and ancient stream of information poured into his mind.
It's about the Gu family, about the end of the world, and a deeper... secret.
The figure of the ancestor began to slowly become illusory.
"Go ahead."
"The stage there is worthy of my Gu family's Qilin son."
"Don't keep those sleeping old things waiting too long."
The divine consciousness completely dissipated.
The dead silence returned to the world again.
Only Gu Changqing was left, facing the bottomless vortex of the end alone.
He lowered his head, stroking the jade pendant in his hand that contained the family's eternal layout, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He knows.
This is more than just a talisman.
It is also the key to starting an ultimate gamble that will sweep across the heavens and involve the entire fairyland...
