The residual warmth of the ancient rune in his hand had not yet dissipated, and it turned into a stream of light, enveloping Gu Changqing's figure and instantly tearing apart the chaos at the core of the end.
He disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, he was in a secret place that could not be described in words.
There is no sky or earth here, only ancient Dao rules as thick as mountains, quietly floating and interweaving in the endless void, forming silent "Dao Tombs".
Every Taoist tomb exudes a terrifying aura that surpasses the Immortal Emperor and towers above the heavens.
This is the last root of the Gu family.
Ancient Emperor's Cemetery.
However, there was not a trace of reverence for his ancestors in Gu Changqing's eyes.
He was like the most greedy glutton who broke into an unguarded and extraordinary feast. Wherever he looked, he saw the supreme origin that could be devoured and plundered!
At this moment, a grand, vicissitudes, and infinitely majestic will awakened from a Taoist tomb in the deepest part and instantly enveloped him.
"Youngster, do you know that as the bearer of the Gu family's bloodline, you should take it as your responsibility to protect the heavens and to suppress catastrophes as your ultimate goal?"
That will was like the judgment of heaven, testing his faith in the Tao.
Any living being with even the slightest impure mind will have their soul shattered by this will.
When Gu Changqing heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up into an extremely cold arc.
Guardian? Responsibility?
That's ridiculous.
Instead of responding, he gave instructions to the system directly in his mind.
"System, analyze the origin of this will and make the maximum investment!"
[Ding! The remaining will of the 'First Ancient Emperor of the Gu Family' has been detected, containing the 'Taichu Origin Dao Principle', meeting the highest investment standards!]
【Investment Success! 】
[A billion-fold return has been triggered! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Complete Version of the True Meaning of Primordial Reincarnation'! ]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Dao Zun Level Immortal Seal' (incomplete)! ]
boom!
The grand ancestral will trembled violently, as if it had witnessed the most unreasonable and unorthodox scene in the world.
His test was actually used as... nourishment?!
Before his will dissipated, a perception of the true meaning of reincarnation that was far more ancient and more domineering than his own had already exploded in Gu Changqing's sea of consciousness!
The change of eras, the birth and death of the universe, the truth of the ultimate catastrophe... countless ultimate secrets buried by time were all seen by him at this moment!
At the same time, an [Immortal Seal] branded with ten thousand original runes was deeply branded into his chaotic body!
Snap! Snap!
Gu Changqing's body shattered into pieces at this moment, and then reassembled in an instant!
Every inch of his flesh and blood, every cell, is undergoing a mad transformation towards an eternal and indestructible "quasi-immortal" level!
The law of the end that was powerful enough to crush the ancient emperor is now just a breeze on his face.
"Next."
Gu Changqing opened and closed his eyes, and his gaze was already cast towards the second Taoist tomb.
"Younger generation, you should know that the greater the power, the heavier the consequences..."
"invest."
[Ding! Return successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Karma-Severing Daoist Supreme-level Divine Power'! ]
"Younger generation..."
"invest."
[Ding! Return successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 'Origin Avenue Fragments'!]
…
In this ancient emperor's cemetery that should have been solemn and dignified, Gu Changqing was like a cold harvester, turning all the tests of the Dao heart left by the ancestors of the Gu family into the resources for his own ascent to the top!
The power in his body was surging wildly at a speed that even the Guardian of the End could not understand!
Finally, when he finished "investing" in the last Taoist tomb.
All the ancient emperor inheritance, Daoist insights, immortal marks, and fragments of the origin of the Dao that he had plundered from his body... were completely integrated at this moment!
Buzz——!
An ancient halo formed by billions of law runes, emitting an aura of eternal suppression and supremacy, slowly emerged behind his head.
The Ring of Ancient Emperor's Laws!
This is the ultimate symbol of truly stepping into the realm of ancient emperors, whose strength even surpasses that of ordinary ancient emperors!
[Ding! The host has completely mastered the Gu family's ultimate inheritance, and has advanced to the 'Ancient Emperor Realm' (peak)! He is now initially qualified to challenge the 'Dao Zun' realm!]
Gu Changqing slowly opened his eyes.
In those eyes, there was endless indifference after swallowing the secrets of countless epochs.
He is no longer the Immortal Emperor.
He is Gu Changqing.
He is the new and only ancient emperor in this world!
He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared from the Ancient Emperor's Cemetery, returning to the core area of the end again.
Feeling the net of the law of the end that is still hanging over your head, trying to wipe out everything.
For the first time, an expression close to "pity" appeared on Gu Changqing's face.
It’s like watching a group of... ignorant ants.
