I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 742: He really want to cover the sky with one hand in the upper realm, a chess piece

The likes of Heavenly Phoenix Maiden and the Six Crowned Kings, who were considered young supremes, also had complex expressions on their faces. They hadn’t expected the situation to take such a turn, and they were taken aback by this explanation. Furthermore, they had no evidence to prove that Gu Changge was lying.

Moreover, this place had many background figures present, including the Chana Ancient Buddha, who was well-versed in the mysteries of fate. If Gu Changge had lied just now, he would have surely sensed it. Yet, even the Chana Ancient Buddha remained silent, not uttering a word.

Did this not imply that everything Gu Changge had explained was indeed true? At this moment, they were uncertain about their emotions—whether it was regret, disappointment, or a sigh of relief.

“Had the real Ye Ling long been killed by the inheritor of the demonic arts?” Jin Chan was extremely puzzled as he didn’t expect this from Gu Changge, his voice filled with disbelief. Clearly, he had not anticipated his explanation. He paused for a moment, his brows furrowing further.

In truth, he had never personally met the true inheritor of the demonic art. However, based on various signs, it was indeed likely that the true disciple of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord had been killed and no longer existed in this world. This was why Jin Chan had so many doubts, especially considering Gu Changge’s possession of the inheritance and relics of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord.

Previously, he hadn’t even considered the possibility of Gu Changge’s explanation.

“Or perhaps Gu Changge anticipated that I would ask this question, so he prepared this explanation in advance?” Jin Chan still didn’t fully believe in all of this. His expression darkened, no longer as serene as before.

He felt like he was trapped in a nightmare, his once pure and compassionate heart tainted. He couldn’t approach things as he had in the past. If this matter couldn’t be resolved, his cultivation would come to a standstill, let alone reaching a higher level of realms.

“Could it be that Brother Jin Chan still has doubts about my words?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changge continued to smile faintly, his expression unchanged. The others in the hall fell silent, refraining from speaking further. Even individuals like the Daoist ‘One-Eyed’, the Head of the Violet Sky Valley, and the sect master of the Endless Fire Nation did not speak, choosing to observe the situation quietly. After all, Gu Changge had already provided his explanation, and the Reincarnated Heaven Lord had confirmed it personally. If they continued to question and doubt, they might inadvertently offend the Reincarnated Heaven Lord, which would be more trouble than it was worth.

“What you’ve said, Young Master Changge, is merely your perspective. The truth of the matter remains unknown,” Jin Chan spoke in a composed tone, but there was a hint of reluctance in his words.

“It seems, Brother Jin Chan, that you are quite dissatisfied with me. Regardless of how I explain, you refuse to believe,” Gu Changge smiled and then turned his gaze to the Chana Ancient Buddha. “Since Brother Jin Chan doubts my words, why don’t we ask the Chana Ancient Buddha to investigate and see if I was lying just now?”

Gu Changge knew that the Chana Ancient Buddha had a profound understanding of destiny and could even perceive one’s past and future. Judging whether someone was lying would be effortless for him. However, Gu Changge wasn’t concerned because destiny was shrouded in mist, and even the most skilled individuals couldn’t easily discern it. Besides, trying to investigate him might result in a severe backlash.

When the Reincarnated Heaven Lord had attempted to investigate Gu Changge’s origins before, he had almost suffered a tremendous backlash. Despite his efforts to conceal this point, Gu Changge could still tell that he had briefly turned pale during that encounter.

Hearing Gu Changge’s words, the people in the hall couldn’t help but be intrigued, their gazes shifting to the Chana Ancient Buddha.

Golden Sun Goddess was particularly interested and remarked, “Since Gu Changge had spoken so confidently, Chana Ancient Buddha, do you still have reservations?”

She didn’t doubt the Chana Anient Buddha’s abilities. It was just that since Gu Changge had spoken so boldly, it must mean he was certain of the truth.

“Amitabha, what Young Master Changge has said may not necessarily be untrue, and I cannot easily confirm its veracity,” the Chana Ancient Buddha replied, joining the conversation as he held his hands in prayer. Despite his Destiny technologies, determining the absolute truth about an ordinary person’s past, present, and future was not too difficult

, when it came to Gu Changge, the Chana Ancient Buddha couldn’t detect any traces of destiny. If there were any, they were as elusive as wisps of mist. However, even these wisps of mist were challenging for him to decipher.

“What?” Jin Chan was completely astonished and bewildered by the Chana Ancient Buddha’s statement. He couldn’t understand why the Chana Ancient Buddha had suddenly changed his stance. Previously, even he had believed that Gu Changge had many secrets and uncertainties about him. Why does the sudden change occur?

“Hehe, even the Chana Ancient Buddha says so. Naturally, we won’t have any more doubts. We also understood Jin Chan’s original intention, though his manner is somewhat rash.” the Daoist ‘One-Eyed’ chimed in at this point, laughing as if he had no connection to the earlier skepticism. Instead, he seemed to be shifting the blame onto JIn Chan.

The sect master from the VioletSky Valley and the Endless Fire Nation, and others, remained silent. The rest of the people in the hall had varying expressions, shaking their heads inwardly. They had expected a dramatic reversal but found that Jin Chan’s suspicions were unfounded. Gu Changge had not shown any signs of deceit.

“Let’s put an end to this matter today. My insights are not to be questioned by a junior like you, little monk,” the Reincarnated Heaven Lord said, his face showing a hint of irritation as the dust settled on the issue.

He glanced over the people in the hall and spoke with a tinge of annoyance, as if he were genuinely displeased with what had transpired. It had to be said that as a creature who had lived for countless years, he was a master of acting. If Gu Changge didn’t know his true thoughts, he might have been convinced that the Reincarnated Heaven Lord was genuinely angry.

In this sense, there was indeed a kind of master-disciple relationship between Gu Changge and the Reincarnated Heaven Lord when it came to their acting abilities.

“Sorry, sorry, Heavenly Lord,” Jin Chan quickly responded. “We hope the Heavenly Lord will not be angry. It was our shortsightedness to question Young Master Changge just now, not a doubt in your judgment.”

The people in the hall felt uneasy as they saw the Reincarnated Heaven Lord’s apparent anger. Even the Daoist ‘One-Eyed’ felt a bit anxious, despite his self-confidence. In the current era, he was not very fearful of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord.

However, people’s curiosity remained, and the shadow of doubt lingered. The Reincarnated Heaven Lord had existed since the era of myths, and nobody knew the extent of his abilities in the present world.

“Brother Jin Chan, do you have any more questions or doubts?” Gu Changge asked with a faint smile.

Jin Chan’s face appeared somewhat defeated. He had held onto quite a bit of evidence suggesting that Gu Changge wasn’t the true disciple of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord. However, it now seemed utterly unnecessary. Not only had Gu Changge voluntarily admitted to this fact, but the Reincarnated heaven Lord was also aware of it.

“In today’s matter, I was too impulsive. I hope Young Master Changge won’t hold it against me,” he sighed inwardly, suppressing his feelings of reluctance and apologized to Gu Changge.

Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanged, and he waved his hand, saying, “I am not one to bear grudges. I understand your intentions, Brother.”

At this moment, it was clear that Gu Changge wouldn’t blame Jin Chan. However, that didn’t mean he would let him off easily.

Seeing Gu Changge’s seemingly reasonable and unconcerned attitude, the people in the hall were somewhat surprised. They had expected him to exact a heavy price from Jin Chan, as he had done in the past.

The Chana Ancient Buddha also breathed a sigh of relief and joined in, “Thank you for your magnanimity, Young Master Changge. After today, I will make sure that Jin Chan reflects on his actions and doesn’t venture out into the world for a few years.”

In reality, the Chana Ancient Buddha sensed Gu Changge’s intentions clearly; he had a keen sense of foreboding to the future danger that might involve the people close to him. By appearing to rebuke Jin Chan, he actually wanted to protect him and prevent any potential accidents.

Gu Changge smiled and didn’t say anything more. Afterward, the conversation shifted away from the topic of the inheritor of the demonic art, and the Reincarnated Heaven Lord answered questions about the secrets of the mythological era and the truth behind the absence of immortals in the future.

The Reincarnated Heaven Lord, like a wise sage, shared his knowledge with the group, leaving them in awe. They felt as if they had learned of a momentous event that had occurred in the distant past, a secret hidden from the later generations. It might have been related to the Forbidden Era or something entirely different.

Finally, the meeting concluded, and the background figures from various immortal forces did not overstay their welcome. After expressing their gratitude, they departed. News of today’s events quickly spread through the Divine City, causing a significant stir.

The Reincarnated Heaven Lord did indeed exist in the world, and he promised to resolve the Absolute Heavenly Extinction scourge. Countless cultivators and beings were overjoyed upon hearing this news, some even moved to tears, expressing their gratitude towards the Reincarnated Heaven Lord. At that moment, his reputation soared to unimaginable heights.

However, many people also remembered Gu Changge’s “efforts” in this matter and considered him and his master as saviors of the current era. Immortal forces like the Endless Fire Nation, Heavenly Emperor Mountain, and Violet Sky Valley faced severe criticism and were burdened with reputational damage.

Some cultivators decided to document this event in history books for future generations – Gu Changge, who had performed countless good deeds, had been wrongfully accused of being a inheritor of the demonic art. This not only hurt Gu Changge’s heart but also the hearts of countless beings…

Jin Chan repeatedly questioned Gu Changge in the main hall, which caused him to become infamous for a while. Even the highly respected Chana Ancient Buddha’s status plummeted in the eyes of many due to this incident. As for others, who ever framed Gu Changge, simply walking on the streets without being pelted with rotten eggs and spoiled spirit fruits was considered fortunate.

“Could it be that this was Gu Changge’s intention all along? To manipulate the hearts of countless beings for his own purposes?”

“It’s truly ruthless and terrifying.”

The Daoist ‘One-Eyed’ from the Heavenly Emperor Mountain wore a dark and uncertain expression. He had noticed Gu Changge’s sinister intentions through recent developments in the upper realms. He no longer believed that Gu Changge was acting in the best interests of the entire upper realm and upholding justice. Instead, he believed that Gu Changge was using the beings of the upper realm as gunmen without knowing it.

This manipulative approach was chilling and heart-wrenching.

“It probably won’t be long before he has complete control over the entire upper realm, and that’s when he’ll truly become an all-powerful figure.”

For the Daoist ‘One-Eyed’, the desire to eliminate Gu Changge grew stronger by the minute. He quickly composed himself and issued a Supreme Order, summoning the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain to discuss this matter thoroughly.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Gu Changge and the Reincarnated Heaven Lord, this pair of master and disciple, were discussing the current situation in the upper realms.

“It seems that things are developing just as you calculated…”

The Reincarnated Heaven Lord spoke with a hint of emotion, feeling that he had underestimated Gu Changge. Not only did Gu Changge possess immense power, but his methods were also incredibly formidable, subtly influencing the entire upper realm.

At this moment, even if Gu Changge were truly a inheritor of the demonic art, ordinary cultivators would likely doubt it and be unwilling to believe it. This was the brilliance of Gu Changge’s methods.

“You overpraise me, Master. Today, in the central hall, your cooperation was essential.”

Gu Changge smiles modestly, appearing humble.

The Reincarnated Heaven Lord had only seen the surface of Gu Changge’s intentions, while deeper down, Gu Changge had another plan in mind. The Reincarnated Heaven Lord would never have imagined that, from the very beginning, he was just another pawn in Gu Changge’s game.

“As your master, I was just stating the facts, as we are bound together in this endeavor,” the Reincarnated Heaven Lord nodded and smiled.

He wanted to gain Gu Changge’s trust to uncover the secrets hidden within him. This small matter was effortless for him.

Gu Changge smiled and said no more. However, he seemed to remember something and with a slightly serious expression, added, “Regarding the Absolute Heavenly Extinction scourge, I’ll trouble you, Master. During this time, I’ll do my best to expand the situation and increase your influence to its peak.”

“You can rest assured. This is a small matter for me, and it won’t take much time,” the Reincarnated Heaven Lord assured with a smile.
