Snap...
The first crack appeared on Gu Changqing's [Transcendent Immortal Body] which had already surpassed the concept of immortality.
This crack is not a physical damage, but a peeling at the level of "existence".
It was as if his past, his cause and effect, and the very concept of why he was "Gu Changqing" were being ruthlessly ground away by the slowly turning [reincarnation millstone].
Then came the second, the third...
Dense cracks instantly covered his entire body like a spider web.
He is being "formatted".
It was completely and cleanly erased from the records of eternal reincarnation.
However, facing this ultimate extinction, Gu Changqing's eyes remained terrifyingly calm.
He even had the leisure to savor the unique feeling of being stripped of his "existence".
"So, this is 'nothing'."
The hint of amusement on the corner of his mouth not only did not disappear, but became even stronger.
It seemed as if the ultimate slaughter before his eyes, which was enough to destroy the universe, was nothing more than a novel and interesting performance in his eyes.
It was at this time.
At the last moment when the [Reincarnation Grindstone] was about to completely crush his existence.
In this land of doom where even the concept has been reduced to ruins, a slight change has quietly taken place.
There was no sudden flash of bright light, nor was there any fluctuation in time and space.
But...
This absolute "nothingness" seems to have a "source".
This dead silent "end" seems to have a "witness".
A figure, just naturally, walked out from the deepest part of nothingness.
He seemed to have been standing there from beginning to end, never moving.
It was as if he had crossed the endless river of reincarnation, and at this moment, he had finally reached the other side.
He could not see his face clearly because any concept that attempted to define his appearance would be assimilated by his own existence.
He did not emit any pressure, because the concept of "pressure" in the entire universe was defined by his existence.
He is the Immortal Emperor ancestor of the Gu family.
In other words, it is the ancestor's...true figure.
He did not look at the world-destroying [Reincarnation Grindstone]. In his eyes, that thing seemed no different from a speck of dust.
His gaze penetrated through layers of cause and effect and fell on Gu Changqing, whose body was about to completely collapse.
What kind of look was that?
It's comfort, it's recognition, it's relief after waiting for endless epochs.
The ancestor slowly raised his hand.
His movements were very slow, but they seemed to drive the entire eternal cycle of reincarnation.
A flash of light.
A light that could not be described in words and defined by any rules slowly emerged in his palm.
That is not a magic weapon, not a magical power, and not an energy body.
It... is the "key".
It is the ultimate answer that the Gu family has been planning for eternity, guarding for endless epochs, and waiting for countless reincarnations.
[Eternal True Artifact]!
"Changqing."
The ancestor spoke.
His voice was not loud, but it sounded like the first roar of the eternal cycle, or the last sigh of the end of silence, and it sounded directly in Gu Changqing's original true spirit.
"This is the fate of the Gu family."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light in his palm, the so-called [Eternal True Artifact], turned into a stream of light and went straight into Gu Changqing's brow!
Buzz——!!!
Gu Changqing's whole body was shocked!
He clearly felt that this stream of light was not an external force, but was like a key, accurately inserted into an ancient shackle in the deepest part of his blood and the most original origin of his soul!
The [Ultimate Chess Master's Seal] returned by the system, representing the supreme authority, was perfectly integrated with this [Eternal True Artifact] at this moment!
Snap!
The shackles...are open!
A terrifying force that surpasses the concept of "transcendence" and stands above the eternal cycle of reincarnation, like an ancient true dragon that has been sleeping for billions of years, suddenly awakens!
At this moment, Gu Changqing understood everything instantly.
It turns out that the Gu family’s so-called “ultimate trump card” has never been a hidden magic weapon or forbidden technique.
The trump card... is himself!
The Gu family's eternal plan is not to train a guardian, but to "forge" a true chess player!
And he, Gu Changqing, is the one who was chosen, the final "finished product"!
The ancestor did not come to save him.
The ancestor is here... to crown him!
"It is also your..."
The ancestor's voice sounded again, but with a hint of relief.
"Home."
As these two words fell, his extremely solid body began to become transparent, as if he had completed his final mission and was about to return to eternal nothingness.
At the same time, all the cracks on Gu Changqing's body disappeared without a trace in an instant.
No, not disappear.
Instead, it is covered and rewritten by an older and more supreme "truth"!
The [Eternal Altar] in his body emitted an unprecedentedly bright light, and the [Scepter of Reincarnation] in his hand was buzzing, as if paying the highest respect to its true owner!
Gu Changqing slowly closed his eyes and then suddenly opened them.
What is reflected in those deep eyes is no longer the starry universe, but the birth, death and flow of the eternal cycle of reincarnation!
He took a deep breath.
Feel the ultimate power within your body that can define everything and reshape everything.
Then, he raised his head and calmly looked at the [Reincarnation Grindstone] that was already crushing his head and was about to completely grind him down.
Now.
He already has... the qualifications to control it!
