I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 810: Comprehending Destiny, the high priestess of destiny

Many of the affairs in the Divine Kingdom were delegated to individuals like Yin Mei by Gu Changge. His true form now resided beyond the void, occasionally appearing to meet individuals like Yue Mingkong and Jiang Chuchu.

On regular days, decisions required his conscious thought to manifest and address various matters. Regarding the value of the Immortal Sealing List, Gu Changge had long planned for it.

After unveiling the list, the Divine Kingdom would inform the heavens, determining eligibility based on devout loyalty and shared contributions to the Divine Kingdom.

In the vast expanse of the heavens, with countless cultivators akin to a sea of smoke, even those above the Supreme level were too numerous to include everyone in the list.

Gu Changge’s current task was to present the Immortal Sealing List prominently to make it clear to the heavens and earth that being part of the Immortal Class was no mere boast.

“As for the Immortal Sealing List, leave it to Bai Linger to handle. She’s currently anxious about researching various rankings…”

As for the list, there’s no need to rush. We can start by selecting some loyal ministers of the Divine Kingdom, bestowing the titles publicly. This will have a more profound impact.

Gu Changge casually issued a decree with a wave of his hand, generating a terrible ripple that pierced through the void, flying towards a specific palace in the Divine Kingdom.

Bai Linger, the master of the Spring Breeze Pavillion and had the ancient inheritance of the Killer Emperor.

Though the Killer Emperor claimed to be an emperor, his cultivation was already close to immortality, leaving behind a terrible legacy of combat.

In recent years, Gu Changge had appointed Bai Linger to oversee the Hall of Asura.

Secretly, she trained an organization called the Sky Net, similar to the Spring Breeze Pavillion. It aimed to gather information from various realms and conduct clandestine affairs.

Furthermore, based on Yin Mei’s suggestion, Gu Changge instructed Bai Linger to establish the Tianji Hall. Institutions like the Tianji Tower and the Tianji Hall were found in various ancient cities across the heavens and earth.

These organizations belonged to the category of intelligence gathering and were tasked with obtaining different information and compiling lists.

These lists included rankings such as the Heavenly Elite List, Weapon List, Influence List, Exquisite Beauty List and Talent List. Gu Changge’s intention was simple – to intensify competition among the Dao domains.

Throughout their lives, cultivators sought fame and power. Gu Changge even planned to create heavenly monuments for each realm, gathering the energy of heaven and earth.

These monuments would list numerous prodigies throughout history, offering rankings and corresponding rewards.

Additionally, he intended to open a virtual realm dedicated to the beliefs and fires of mortal beings, akin to the mythical Underworld of Nine Shadows.

Although the divine soul had perished, the incense and flame persisted. Ruled by the Divine Kingdom, it ensured the reincarnation of cultivators and allowed them to refine their Divine essence in the virtual realm, achieving the status of an Infernal God.

However, the concept of this so-called virtual realm was still in Gu Changge’s contemplation and had yet to be put into practical action.

If he were to pursue this, it would be an exceedingly time-consuming and energy-draining process.

The reason behind such consideration, Gu Changge found, aligned with the workings of the Dao laws, benefiting his comprehension of cultivation through the power of qi, fortune, and faith.

Simultaneously, during his recent insights into the Dao of Destiny, he had a premonition that the immortal realm might be undergoing an unexpected change, different from the rumors heard before—a terrifying event.

Before Gu Qingyi departed from the upper realms, she had forewarned him that significant changes were imminent in the upper realms and even throughout the heavens. Now, with a sudden inspiration, Gu Changge felt he couldn’t afford to take this matter lightly and needed to be proactive.

Destiny, a mystical and elusive path, differed from other great paths and required extensive exploration. The intricacies were plentiful, demanding prolonged periods to fathom fully.

In recent times, Gu Changge meticulously pondered it, intending to unravel the mysteries of numerology and condense the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King.

As for the primordial sources left behind by the Reincarnated Heaven Lord, they could only assist Gu Changge in elevating his cultivation. Understanding the Dao of Destiny was something he had to achieve independently.

Besides Destiny, Gu Changge delved into the studies of time and space. Earlier, he had acquired the inheritance of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord, allowing him to explore the pathway of revolving epochs.

If he were to condense the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King, considering time, space, and the grand path of creation was also an option. As for the devouring and slaughtering pathways, Gu Changge deemed them unnecessary to study and comprehend.

While refining the blood of the Demon Lord, insights into these paths had already manifested in his mind.

Previously, due to the system’s influence, he exchanged fate points for the so-called transcendent bones. Now, Gu Changge viewed this as a form of transactional exchange within the rules.

Through Destiny points, which represented value or fortune, he equivalently exchanged them for transcendent bones—an essence inherent in the system’s evolution.

This essence could be understood as a peculiar energy. As Gu Changge delved into the Dao of Destiny, he increasingly felt that this dormant system had a deep connection with him.

Hum!

At this moment, the decree issued by Gu Changge swiftly traversed the void, heading towards the Hall of Asura, where Bai Linger currently resided.

She stood in plain-coloured attire, addressing some cultivators with an icy expression, exuding an air of authority.

Select candidates suitable for the Immortal List?

Understood.

The decree landed before her, surprising her. The contents were straightforward, instructing her to gather information from various races and choose individuals most suitable for inclusion in the list.

Of course, Gu Changge would also provide an opportunity for self-recommendation to all realms.

On the other side, near the vast Star Sea, numerous islands floated amidst mist at the eastern edge of the Divine Kingdom, shrouded in perpetual cool tones with no radiant illumination.

In the central area, a vast and solemn structure called the Temple of Destiny stood, exuding an ancient and majestic atmosphere.

A breathtakingly beautiful woman with a tear-shaped mark on her brow, dressed in the moon-white robe of the chief priestess, was calculating something on a compass.

Her flowing dark hair and serene expression gave off an otherworldly aura, akin to a heavenly maiden from the Nine Heavens, and she was the ruler of this place—the High Priestess of the Divine Kingdom, also addressed as Empress Ruoyin.

Greetings, Your Majesty

Xiao Ruoyin noticed the ripples in the void before her, and, with a slight wave on her calm face, she motioned for the attendants to withdraw before offering a graceful salute.

Gu Changge’s figure emerged from the void, dressed in a simple azure silk garment. He nodded slightly, unfazed by Xiao Ruoyin’s address, which differed from the conventional titles used by other concubines and courtiers.

It seems you’ve been keeping yourself busy…

Gu Changge’s gaze fell on the compass behind her, where faint traces of destiny flowed. Xiao Ruoyin regained her composure, and with a nod, she said, “Residing here for a long time, with idle moments, I can only engage in cultivation and insights into this path.”

“I don’t know what brings Your Majesty here today. If you desire my company, a word to the attendants would suffice. Your Majesty need not venture so far.”

The Temple of Destiny was extremely distant from the Divine Kingdom’s Imperial Palace, situated at the far eastern edge of the Divine Kingdom.

Hearing this, Gu Changge waved his hand, and a faint radiance appeared in his sleeves as the Fateful Immortal Boat materialized.

“I came to see you today for another matter.” He spoke casually.
