Chapter 1173: There is no other purpose, the ceremony of conferring immortals

Xiao Ruoyins face was pale, not because of insufficient cultivation but because she had touched upon an unknown terror while deducing, thus injuring her spiritual consciousness. To Xiao Ruoyin, this was an unimaginable occurrence.

Her study and comprehension of the path of Destiny were unparalleled and deemed incomprehensible by others. Yet, just now, when deducing the future of the Divine Kingdom, she had a premonition of an indescribable terror.

What exactly is it?

Xiao Ruoyins mind was somewhat trance-like for a moment. Later, she returned to reality, realizing she was in Gu Changges embrace. She couldnt help but straighten up.

Im afraid I have disappointed Your Majesty. The insights I gained into the Destiny of the Divine Kingdom are minimal.

This was a frank admission. Even with the Fateful Immortal Boat in hand, she couldnt get a clear view of the source of that terrifying aura. Moreover, she had almost suffered a backlash.

It was worth noting that she was a fateless being from birth, transcending causality. Except for the time before she awakened her memories from her past life, attempting to deduce Gu Changges origin and suffering a backlash, today marked the second time in her life that she had faced a backlash.

This shocked Xiao Ruoyin profoundly.

Gu Changge, on the other hand, didnt seem surprised. He knew that his premonition would not be wrong. When Xiao Ruoyin was deducing the Destiny of the Divine Kingdom, he had seen those vague scenes. Although the future was unclear, a fragment of the location emerged.

The world turned dim, and the end of an era approached. Even the stars collapsed, and the entire cosmos shattered. A vast fog swept in, obscuring everything. The only visible thing was the yellowing era, where an extended, undulating wave extinguished an entire epoch in the distance.

Indeed, there would be a tremendous upheaval in the future Upper Realm. Even the myriad realms, including the Immortal Domain, would be affected and couldnt escape unscathed.

After confirming this, Gu Changge was somewhat relieved, without the countless uncertainties from before.

Its nothing. Thank you for your hard work.

Keep the Fateful Immortal Boat with you for now.

He said casually, not intending to claim owners.h.i.+p of the Fateful Immortal Boat. At most, in his hands, it would serve as a tool to traverse the river of time, unable to unleash its true potential.

With Gu Changges strength reaching an unfathomable level, he no longer needed external tools to traverse the river of time. On the contrary, the Fateful Immortal Boat would serve a greater purpose in Xiao Ruoyins hands.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Ruoyin couldnt help but be stunned. She hadnt expected Gu Changge to return the Fateful Immortal Boat to her. However, regaining what was lost brought joy even to her composed demeanor. Her delicate and fair hand gently traced the weathered surface of the Fateful Immortal Boat.

After recovering her memories from her past life, Xiao Ruoyins temperament changed considerably. Experiencing life as an ordinary person and gaining insights into the diverse aspects of the mortal world contributed to this transformation. She was now the honored Empress Ruoyin of this immortal Divine Kingdom, a concubine to Gu Changge.

Gu Changge, the culprit of the destruction of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in his previous life, was the one who caused the collapse of the Immortal Palace.

All these events were challenging for Xiao Ruoyin to reconcile, even using the path of Destiny to explain.

Your Majesty, will you be resting at the Temple of Destiny tonight? I am heading there for a bath and to prepare for the night

At this moment, as if thinking of something, Xiao Ruoyin raised her cold eyes and couldnt help asking.

At this moment, she recalled something. Although she had been appointed as a concubine, this was the first time in a long while that Gu Changge had visited the Temple of Destiny.

Despite her disinterest in competing for favor and engaging in the intrigues of the harem, she understood that as long as Gu Changge remained there for a day, the demise of the divine kingdom would be postponed.

If she wanted to remain aloof and focus solely on the Temple of Destiny, free from worldly distractions and external influences, it was crucial to make the court officials and various immortal races understand that she held some status despite being a concubine in Gu Changges eyes.

Inevitably, the impact of the previous Xiao Ruoyin influenced her current considerations.

Your Majesty, shall I send you off?

To Xiao Ruoyins surprise, Gu Changges expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He simply waved his hand casually, showing no intention of staying overnight.

Even though she was prepared for the nights intimate affairs, he had dispelled those thoughts. Xiao Ruoyin felt a mixture of emotions but maintained her composure.

Theres no need. Its getting late. Rest early, Gu Changge replied nonchalantly.

However, Xiao Ruoyin couldnt help but feel puzzled. After speaking, Gu Changges figure dissipated, merging into the void without a trace, leaving Xiao Ruoyin standing there.

Yes

Xiao Ruoyin remained in a daze for a moment before lowering her gaze. She softly murmured,

Your Majesty, please rest well.

Not to mention staying overnight.

Appointing her as a concubine was merely for the sake of the existence of the Temple of Destiny. This made Xiao Ruoyin feel a sense of melancholy and disappointment.

After all, she was Gu Changges woman, an undeniable fact. In her past life as the High Priestess of Destiny, she had never left the Temple since birth.

In this life, she had devoted herself to Gu Changge even before awakening her memories. Seeing the now increasingly desolate Temple of Destiny, Xiao Ruoyin sighed imperceptibly. The joy of regaining the Fateful Immortal Boat was now completely gone.

Gu Changges visit tonight was merely to inquire about the path of destiny and return the Fateful Immortal Boat.

Besides that, there was no other purpose. Did this mean her chances of meeting Gu Changge in the future were limited? Or even almost nonexistent?

After leaving the Temple of Destiny, Gu Changge continued manifesting a divine body to oversee the evolution of Dao laws within the divine kingdom. Meanwhile, his central self went beyond the void to continue refining the drop of true blood and various sources.

Through the events with Xiao Ruoyin, he confirmed the path ahead and gained an understanding of what fate truly meant. Once many things were comprehended, breakthroughs became a matter of course.

The Ceremony of Conferring Immortals began several days later outside the imperial palace. Following Gu Changges instructions, many ministers brought essential items from their clans, such as clan scriptures and profound weapons, to wait at the designated location.

Behind these ministers were immortal legacies, ancient families of immortal life, and ancient tribes from distant universes. In the previous upper realms, some existences could cause earthquakes with a stomp.

Majestic and endless, it was enough to astonish any ordinary cultivator and defy belief.

However, today, these people all respectfully waited outside the imperial palace. Several ma.s.sive heavenly monuments were placed on the square outside, radiating a faint glow.

Upon closer inspection, the heavenly monuments were crafted from exceptional materials, and even Dao-building experts couldnt damage them.

On these heavenly monuments, s.p.a.ce fluctuations s.h.i.+mmered, and then Dao runes connected, evolving a terrifying black hole in the void, emitting mysterious changes.

Many cultivators, just with a glance, felt palpitations and sensed that this sacrificial altar was not as simple as the entrance to the Ascension Hall.

Behind it was an unspeakable supreme power, having refined an entire world as the national treasury.

This is the Immortal Conferring Altar, refined by His Majesty using supreme divine techniques. In the early days of the Immortal Sealing Lists creation, those who first entered the list could gain immense benefits.

According to the requirements of the Immortal Conferring Altar, as long as you contribute treasures to the altar, you can obtain corresponding Immortality Points. Sufficient Immortality Points can be exchanged for the ImmortalityToken.

The Immortality Points needed to exchange for the Immortality Token wont be very high at the beginning, but later on, they will gradually increase. Additionally, the Immortal Altar wont always be open; it requires specific timing.

However, holding the Immortality Token allows you to accept the Immortal Lists canonization and instantly become an immortal

On the vast and boundless square, mist drifted like a vast universe. Many ministers spoke in hushed tones, gazing at the immortal Altar in the front, their eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation, shock, and complex emotions.
