I am The Fated Villain

Chapter 919: In the land of reincarnation, this is her precious performance

Two figures stood side by side before him, resembling immortal beings. The young man, with his tall and slender frame, wore a handsome blue silk outfit in a casual style. Beside him stood a woman in a light blue dress, her loose black hair adding charm to her face. She looked at him with surprise.

It was Wang Ziji and Gu Changge.

What?

Ni Chen blinked, his sober eyes fixing on them in disbelief. In the Immortal Domain, he had glimpsed Gu Changge’s true face through the memories of an old immortal. So, he recognized the young figure as Gu Changge.

But why was she here in the Upper Realm? Wasn’t she always in the heavenly abode of the Immortal Domain? Ni Chen wondered if he was still trapped in illusions, questioning the reality of the scene before him.

Wang Ziji and Gu Changge together?

The expressions on their faces hinted at what had transpired moments ago. Ni Chen’s head pounded with a rush of disbelief. He scrutinized the scene again as if attempting to verify its authenticity. Both Wang Ziji and Gu Changge were undeniably real. Gu Changge’s intrigued gaze seemed to pierce through his secrets, treating him like a helpless insect.

Ni Chen clenched his teeth, realizing that the one responsible for his entrapment was Gu Changge standing before him. In the Immortal Domain and Upper Realm, few possessed such abilities. Anger, resentment, and unwillingness surged within Ni Chen as he gritted his teeth, witnessing the captivating woman in the arms of another man.

Just moments ago, they had shared the ambiance of rain and clouds within the Human Ancestor Hall. Consequently, Gu Changge had confined him outside the palace, subjecting him to numerous illusions. Time passed swiftly, and he found himself aging rapidly.

Although the interior and exterior of the hall were mere feet apart, they felt like two distinct worlds.

“Wang Wushang, why are you here?”

Wang Ziji asked, holding back her hair and sounding somewhat surprised. Observing Wang Wushang’s expression, she sensed something was amiss and probed further. Back in the Immortal Domain, she hadn’t held a favorable opinion of this distant cousin.

He had treated her as a bargaining chip, proposing a marriage to Luo Xuan of the Luo Palace to align with the Luo Palace. Despite being the heir of the Immortal King’s Mansion, Wang Ziji, feeling under the thumb, had harbored secret grievances and preferred not to encounter Wang Wushang in her daily life.

Therefore, his unexpected appearance in the Upper Realm and even the Human Ancestor Hall surprised her.

Wang Wushang? The future successor of the Wang family in the Immortal Domain?

Gu Changge smiled faintly, reaching out to tuck a strand of black hair behind Wang Ziji’s ear. Wang Ziji shot him a glare, signaling him to cease his antics.

Was he intentionally doing this to be noticed by Wang Wushang? She doubted Gu Changge possessed such a gentle side.

Ni Chen, in Wang Wushang’s identity, suddenly snapped back to reality. He was carrying Wang Wushang’s figure, inconspicuous among the crowd. It made sense that Wang Ziji failed to recognize him.

However, the presence of Gu Changge fueled Ni Chen’s jealousy and hidden resentment.

He wondered if Gu Changge had seen through his true identity. Despite the formidable abilities of the Underworld Clan, the man before him could command fear throughout the heavens. Especially moments ago, Gu Changge’s actions had trapped him, draining away many lifespans and prematurely aging him. Fortunately, his essence and foundation remained unharmed, and returning to the Immortal Domain promised a swift recovery.

“I came to the Upper Realm with the intention of discussing something with Cousin Ziji,” Ni Chen said, adopting a gentler expression.

Wang Ziji looked at him with confusion. “You traveled all the way from the Immortal Domain to discuss something?”

Ni Chen’s expression became complicated. If Gu Changge weren’t present, he would have revealed his true identity by now, explaining his intentions to Wang Ziji.

The entire mortal world of mountains and seas would face a dire catastrophe in the next hundred years. The disappearance of the true spirit had exposed the whole mountain and sea real world in the boundless sea. Hunters had taken notice and were poised to descend upon it.

All creatures and entities in the world of mountains and seas would become sacrifices for these hunters, and all worlds and universes would be sacrificed to fuel the arrival of the world behind them. The only solution was for Ni Chen to successfully seize the world of mountains and seas within a hundred years, becoming the new true spirit and safeguarding the remaining beings. Then, he would be the true master of mountains and seas.

However, he couldn’t divulge these details to Wang Ziji now.

“Are you trying to tell something?”

Wang Ziji asked, somewhat dissatisfied with the cryptic words and half-spoken riddles from Wang Wushang. Their relationship wasn’t particularly familiar, yet Ni Chen’s expression suggested otherwise, making Wang Ziji uncomfortable.

Especially with Gu Changge still at her side, Ni Chen couldn’t afford to overthink the situation. Explaining things would only complicate matters.

“Well, it’s not a significant matter. I’m content to have seen my cousin Ziji today. I’ll share the details when you return to the Immortal Domain. I won’t disturb you and lord,” Ni Chen said, eager to leave and avoid any potential slip-ups.

Despite his chic smile, he regretted his impulsive actions. He realized that coming here and significantly disrupting the relationship between Wang Ziji and Gu Changge was a mistake. His heart ached as if a cherished treasure had been wrenched away from him.

Gu Changge observed Ni Chen’s departure with interest but refrained from intervening. Sensing Gu Changge’s gaze on Wang Wushang, Wang Ziji thought he was overthinking the recent events. He misunderstood any connection between herself and Wang Wushang. Back in the Immortal Domain, she hadn’t noticed Wang Wushang expressing interest in her;.Instead, he had attempted to pair her with Luo Xuan. His sudden words perplexed her.

“I don’t even know why he said these things all of a sudden,” Wang Ziji explained, adding, “I didn’t know him well before.”

“If you didn’t know him well, why did you bother explaining? Are you feeling guilty?” Gu Changge glanced at her, surprising her with the probing question.

Gu Changge, sensing an unusual aura deep within Wang Wushang’s soul, had examined him closely. In the recesses of his being, she discovered a palm-sized blood-colored coffin, well hidden from ordinary perception.

Only in Gu Changge’s current state could she detect this anomaly easily. Such abilities were not commonplace.

Wang Ziji was taken aback, realizing there was no need for her to explain herself.

“Why did I get upset in the first place? Who could have predicted he would show up at the Human Ancestor Hall acting so irrationally and saying inexplicable things?” she muttered to herself.

“Why would I be angry? He’s certainly an odd fellow,” Gu Changge replied lightly, ending the teasing.

As Gu Changge planned to leave the Upper Realm, news arrived from the Moon King about Jiang Chuchu’s condition after drinking the fairy wine.

“Chuchu slept for about ten and a half days before waking up,” Gu Changge relayed.

“Are you planning to leave now?” Wang Ziji, sensing Gu Changge’s intentions, expressed her discontent. Gu Changge, who had come from the Immortal Domain, seemed ready to depart without exchanging many words with Jiang Chuchu.

In Wang Ziji’s eyes, there was a distinct scent of indifference about Gu Changge. He didn’t seem to care about the well-being of the woman he had married. Didn’t he notice that she wasn’t feeling well? Couldn’t he spare a moment to show concern?

Such thoughts fueled Wang Ziji’s anger. She regretted falling in love with a guy like him.

One lacked empathy, and the other lacked gentleness and consideration. It felt like their existence made no difference, as he often ignored them.

The truth is, I have the time.

Gu Changge, surprised by her resentment. Her face practically screamed “dead scumbag.”

Wang Ziji was unlike other women. She cared more about her feelings than his identity. She spoke directly, without any hidden agenda. Gu Changge found their interactions genuinely comfortable.

Unaware of her thoughts, Gu Changge had come to say a few words. Wang Ziji, realizing he had much on his plate, swallowed the words she intended to say.

“Forget it. I understand you must have many things to attend to. You really can’t waste your time on these things,” she said, waving her hand before turning around and limping toward the Human Ancestor Hall.

Feeling somewhat helpless, Gu Changge shook his head and walked over, embracing her horizontally. Despite the grand show he had orchestrated over thousands of years, a little time for her was not something he lacked.

In the Immortal Domain, in the Moon King’s mansion, the Moon King, adorned in a moon-white robe, listened to reports from his subordinates with a frown. Bai Chuan, the quasi-immortal king responsible for investigating the land of reincarnation, bowed and respectfully reported, “On the other side of the vast battlefield, a dark tide is approaching. Corrupted creatures are emerging, and within the dark tide, witnesses see a full moon hanging high. Some living souls seemed to float away, suspected to have landed on that full moon.”

Bai Chuan, clad in battle armor, understood the urgency and, although he admired the Moon King, set aside personal feelings in the current state of the Immortal Domain. Gu Changge had worried about the Moon King’s well-being when residing temporarily in the Moon Palace, but those concerns were proven unnecessary.

Even though the Moon King understood Gu Changge’s intentions, he paid little attention to them.

“Dark tide?” The Moon King furrowed his brows.

“The last dark tide was tens of millions of years ago, outside the boundless battlefield. It was suspected to be a clash between immortal kings that spilled over.”

“Could it be that an immortal king is returning this time, or is it for other reasons?” The Moon King pondered. While the dark tide was formidable, it couldn’t breach the Immortal Domain due to the protective barriers outside the boundless battlefield, built to resist the waves and impacts of the endless sea.

“The subordinates don’t know; the vast battlefield has been quite uneasy recently,” Bai Chuan replied respectfully.

“I see,” the Moon King nodded, reflecting on the past. “The boundless battlefield used to be controlled by the families in the Central Immortal Domain. They found many valuable items from the shore, and it’s said that King Luo still possesses a broken ancient scripture that drifted from an unknown world.”

Despite the unification of the Immortal Domain, several great Immortal King families continued guarding the vast battlefield. Their aim was to prevent beings from the ancient world from landing on the other side and launching a surprise attack on the Immortal Domain.

“Go and send more people to watch the boundless sea,” the Moon King ordered after contemplating.

As Bai Chuan and others left the palace, he sent a message to Gu Changge, reporting the situation. The upcoming dark tide from the vast sea might bring forth a land of reincarnation, a crucial piece of information.

Gu Changge had entrusted this matter to the Moon King, a clear indication of the value he placed on it. The Moon King knew he had to handle this situation effectively to maintain that regard.
