Chapter 1110: Using the past to change reality, Zi Wei Dynasty

Gu Changge’s idea was quite simple. Since he intends to establish his influence in this particular universe, he must make this universe work for him.

The Reincarnated Heaven Lord treated those universes as his backyard to accumulate Dao fruits for his grand ambitions. However, Gu Changge’s goal is limited to this current universe. Therefore, he doesn’t plan to weave an enormous lie. Instead, he planned to start shaping the world from the other end of the river of time to alter the present.

Gu Changge aimed to plant the Epoch Tree in this universe and ensure everyone knows about it. To do so, he must ensure that even those who have existed in this universe’s history realize it. He intends to transform everything that never existed into reality.

He cannot completely alter the memories of everyone in this universe, so the best approach is to change the past, influencing the present. Although this may have severe consequences and could result in significant backlash and karma, Gu Changge doesn’t want to miss this rare opportunity.

“The Fateful Immortal boat of Xiao Ruoyin and the Time-space Monument he obtained initially can both be put to use now… Using the time-space Monument to determine the nodes and then traveling through the river of time with the Fateful Immortal Boat should prevent getting lost.” [ Ed note: Good Fortune Immortal Boat appeared in c528-c550 before, but now we have changed this term to Fateful Immortal Boat.]

“All I need to do now is find a suitable space-time node and make changes for the future.”

Gu Changge moved through the starry expanse, his divine sense sweeping through, searching for ancient civilizations and stars to quickly understand the history of this universe.

The most straightforward approach is to find the oldest civilizations. In this universe, there are no beings beyond the immortal realm. After the Forbidden Era, there was a gap in power, with most Dao-building experts a new era had begun. So, Gu Changge isn’t concerned about being detected and interfered with by past immortal powerhouses while he traverses the river of time.

Soon, Gu Changge notices a vast and vibrant life aura ahead. It is an immensely expansive region of life, with numerous ancient life-bearing planets scattered throughout the universe, emanating rich vitality.

“Zi Wei Dynasty… There was once an entity known as the Emperor Zi Wei who established the Zi Wei Dynasty, making it one of the oldest forces in this universe. Even today, they hold sway over vast territories, all bow before them.”

“Emperor Zi Wei is a cultivator about to enter the quasi-emperor realm…”

Gu Changge’s divine sense sweeps through, effortlessly comprehending everything. With a single step, he blurs through the void, traversing countless distances, and suddenly appears within the palace of the Zi Wei Dynasty.

All the powerhouses in the palace were completely unaware of his presence and aura. The Imperial Guard formation outside the palace showed no signs of disturbance either.

The air was majestic inside the palace, resplendent with golden brilliance and veiled in spiritual mist. A dense purple aura enveloped the area, forming a purple dragon of fortune that coiled around the grand hall. Above, countless stars seemed to float and circle, resembling a magnificent Heaven palace.

A man in purple robes sat cross-legged in meditation with closed eyes. He wore a purple-gold crown and exuded a regal air, his aura imbued with imperial dominance. This was the current Emperor of the Zi Wei Dynasty, who had reached the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm. However, he remained oblivious to Gu Changge’s arrival, engrossed in his efforts to break through to the quasi-emperor realm.

“Wake up……”

Gu Changge had no intention of wasting time. He waved his sleeve, rousing the meditating Emperor of the Zi Wei Dynasty.

In fact, he could have chosen to delve into the Emperor’s mind directly to uncover the universe’s hidden secrets. However, Gu Changge preferred a more straightforward approach—letting the Emperor search for him. This way, he could deduce the spatial coordinates of the past by studying the universe’s history, akin to navigating a river of time.

The river of time resembled an ancient history book, recording the past of this universe. To determine specific nodes within the river, one needed to trace its location based on the universe’s history. Furthermore, Gu Changge was required to thoroughly understand this universe first so he could logically integrate a non-existent event into the past.

“Who are you……”

Soon, the meditating Emperor of the Zi Wei Dynasty awakened. He initially looked puzzled but widened his eyes in astonishment, his gaze filled with fear as he stared at Gu Changge.

He had never imagined that a cold and emotionless young man would suddenly appear before him. At this moment, the Emperor of the Zi Wei Dynasty even doubted if he was dreaming.

He was one of the most powerful figures of his time, just a step away from entering the quasi-emperor realm. The Zi Wei Dynasty possessed a Dao Building expert artifact that could be revived anytime. How had this young man suddenly and silently infiltrated his palace?

Even more horrifying for the Emperor of the Zi Wei Dynasty was that he couldn’t sense Gu Changge’s presence or aura. Although he stood right before him, it felt like trying to discern an endless void or a bottomless and terrifying abyss.

“If you don’t want to die, then follow my instructions obediently,” Gu Changge said with cold and profound eyes, wasting no time on idle chatter. He pointed directly at the Emperor’s forehead, pouring his numerous demands now into his mind.

“Senior…Pr-p-please, rest assured, I will make the necessary arrangements.”

The Emperor of the Zi Wei Dynasty said, his voice trembling with fear. He felt as if his head could be pierced by Gu Changge’s finger at any moment, causing it to explode.

Although Gu Changge appeared young, his true strength was undoubtedly terrifying and boundless, surpassing the Emperor’s understanding. The Emperor couldn’t fathom why such a threatening presence had come to the Zi Wei Dynasty and made such peculiar demands?
