When the last bit of immortal origin was swallowed by the [Eternal True Dragon], the ultimate catastrophe that swept through the ages, along with the seven immortals behind it, completely turned into nourishment for Gu Changqing to ascend to the highest level.
The entire Land of the End fell into an unprecedented silence.
However, Gu Changqing's gaze did not look at the heavens and worlds that were slowly recovering.
He slowly turned around and looked into the deepest part of the End Land, the eternal nothingness that even the immortals could not peek into.
His eyes were calm and peaceful.
"After watching this drama, it's time for the ancestor to show up."
The moment the words fell.
In that eternal nothingness, a figure slowly walked out.
He did not tear apart space, nor did he condense the laws.
He walked like that, as if he was already there, existing at every point in time, the source of every concept.
With his appearance, the entire Land of the End, all the laws that had just been pacified, all the orders that were being reshaped, bowed to him and worshiped him in an almost humble manner.
This is an absolute dominance that transcends power and is above existence.
The person who came was none other than the Immortal Emperor ancestor of the Gu family.
But at this moment, the aura he exuded was no longer that of an Immortal Emperor. Even... the word "Immortal" was not enough to describe him.
That is the breath of "transcendence".
It is "eternity" itself!
"good."
The old ancestor's gaze fell on Gu Changqing, and for the first time, his eyes, which had seen through the birth and death of the era, revealed a heartfelt relief.
"You have taken food from the immortals and devoured the source of catastrophe. Your performance has exceeded the expectations of all our ancestors."
Gu Changqing looked indifferent, as if he had expected this.
"So, this so-called ultimate catastrophe, from beginning to end, was just a test prepared for me by the Gu family?"
"It's a trial, but also... a coronation."
The old ancestor admitted it frankly, with endless vicissitudes in his voice.
"What you think of as the ultimate catastrophe is nothing more than the livestock we keep in captivity, harvested every epoch."
"And I am the ultimate player in this eternal chess game."
He slowly revealed the ultimate truth that was enough to overturn the entire universe's cognition.
The so-called Gu family, the so-called eternal forbidden zone, the only meaning of their existence is to wait for the birth of an "outlier" that can carry everything.
That [Immortal Altar] is the long stairway to godhood paved by our ancestors for you.
The [Immortal Truth] flowing in my blood is the only key to transcendence that I set with my own hands.
"I am the guardian of 'Eternity'."
“But unchanging eternity is itself a flaw and a greater prison.”
"So, I need a variable, something that can break this stagnant situation."
The old ancestor looked at Gu Changqing with burning eyes, or more precisely, at the system in his body that was completely bound to his soul.
"And you, Gu Changqing, along with this thing on your body, are the only variables I have been waiting for for countless epochs."
What he wants is not an heir.
But he is a pioneer who can surpass him and create a new "eternity"!
At this point, the figure of the ancestor began to become illusory.
"The real threat isn't these captive immortals."
"It's the ultimate source beyond that catastrophe, the source that even I cannot fully reach."
"My mission is accomplished."
"The road ahead will require you to walk, kill, and... control it all by yourself!"
boom!
The figure of the ancestor, just before it completely disappeared, turned into an [Eternal Light] that could not be described in any words. It carried all his understanding of "transcendence" and the ultimate authority as the "Lord of Eternity", and all of it merged into Gu Changqing's eyebrows!
He is not dead.
Instead, in the most extreme way, he turned everything he had into a stepping stone for Gu Changqing!
At this moment, Gu Changqing's realm, based on the perfection of "Immortal", skyrocketed again!
His concept of existence completely transcends this universe and transcends all eternity of time and space!
He became the new "chess player".
Gu Changqing slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only absolute indifference and amusement in his eyes.
He raised his head, his gaze seemed to penetrate infinite dimensions, looking towards the so-called...ultimate source.
"New hunting grounds, huh?"
"I hope I can have more fun."
