154: The ancient mastermind, don't be surprised by the magpie's astonishment!

"What did you say?!"

Gu Qingchen's pupils suddenly contracted, and ripples appeared in the Void Realm beneath his feet.

Time Late Star's words truly startled him.

He didn't remember having a daughter.

Moreover, didn't Time Late Star appear millions of years ago, at the beginning of the epoch?

With an age of several million years, many times older than himself, how could she be his daughter?

Could she be his daughter from one of his previous lives?

Now, he was basically certain that he had many past lives.

If she were his daughter from a certain past life, it would make sense.

However... suddenly having a daughter who was millions of years older than him, even if she was from a past life, felt very strange.

"You're thinking too much."

As if knowing what Gu Qingchen was thinking, Time Late Star shook her head and said, "I am not the daughter of one of your past lives either."

"Ah?"

Seeing this, Gu Qingchen was completely bewildered: "Then what is our relationship?"

After asking, Gu Qingchen seemed to remember something and added, "Can you tell me this?"

"Only a little."

Time Late Star extended a finger and gently shook it: "I was born in the River of Destiny, the personification of the Dao of Reincarnation. My appearance is closely related to you."

"Born in the River of Destiny... the personification of the Dao of Reincarnation..."

After hearing Time Late Star's words, Gu Qingchen frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

"In short..."

Time Late Star condensed a six paths reincarnation seal on her fingertip.

The Dao Seal slowly rotated, as if containing infinite changes, reflecting all the heavens, and even Gu Qingchen gained many insights from it.

At this moment, Time Late Star gently tapped.

In an instant, this six paths reincarnation seal merged into Gu Qingchen's Primordial Dao Domain, integrating into the six paths reincarnation plate.

The next moment, Gu Qingchen felt that the Dao of Reincarnation in his Dao Domain became even more complete.

Even the demon gods and star spirits in the Dao Domain could Reincarnate and be reborn after death!

"In this world, including myself, the demise and birth, destiny and Reincarnation of many existences are all related to you."

The demise and birth, destiny and Reincarnation of many existences are all related to me?

Hearing this, Gu Qingchen's heart stirred, as if he had grasped something.

"Could it be that many people in this world have past lives, and their Reincarnation and rebirth are all because of my arrangements?

Why do I feel like I'm the mastermind behind the scenes, controlling and arranging everything?"

Thinking of this, Gu Qingchen's expression became a little strange.

"Was I that powerful in the past? Then why did I have to Reincarnate myself?"

He really couldn't understand.

"For example, you should now be able to control the demon gods in the Reincarnation Dao Domain."

Time Late Star didn't detect the changes happening in the Primordial Dao Domain, but she said with certainty: "Allowing them to be reborn in the Dao Domain, gaining Opportunities, receiving Dao Principle blessings, or even directly strengthening their power—all of this is within your single thought."

"You mean to say..."

Gu Qingchen hesitated for a moment before continuing: "The former me could control all living beings, just like I can control these demon god phantoms in the Dao Domain?"

"It's much more difficult than that."

Hearing this, Time Late Star nodded: "But it can indeed be roughly done."

"Hiss..."

Hearing this, a hint of shock flashed in Gu Qingchen's eyes.

He could hardly imagine what kind of existence he used to be to possess such means.

One must know that he was the creator and comprehendor of the Primordial Dao Domain, capable of fully controlling it, which was why he could achieve that point.

"The Chaotic Continent is almost here."

Just as Gu Qingchen was still immersed in shock, Time Late Star's voice rang out again.

"Alright, I've learned almost everything I wanted to know."

Seeing Time Late Star's body once again emitting divine radiance, appearing as if she was about to dissipate, Gu Qingchen, despite still having many secrets he wanted to know, stopped.

He didn't want Time Late Star to evaporate and disappear before him like morning dew just because of his momentary curiosity.

As he spoke, the outline of the Chaotic Continent had already appeared at the end of the Void Realm.

Gu Qingchen had already received a message from Bie Jingque and sensed her aura, which was on an ancient life-bearing star within the Chaotic Continent's Origin Qi layer.

"Oh?"

Upon entering this ancient life-bearing star, Gu Qingchen let out a soft exclamation, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Bie Jingque's strength has improved so quickly?"

It had only been a little over a month since they parted, yet Bie Jingque's strength had already soared to the third heaven of Dao Refinement.

Although this level of strength was still far from his Seventh Heaven of Dao Attainment cultivation, in terms of the speed of strength improvement alone, it was not much slower.

During this time, Gu Qingchen had utilized the Reincarnation Immortal Palace's time flow acceleration array and had also gained a large number of Opportunities during the Myriad Stars Grand Offering.

Even if Bie Jingque was a Demonic Path Cultivator, whose cultivation naturally increased quickly, coupled with the bonus from the Demonic Path sacred object—the heart of the demonic abyss—it was still a bit too exaggerated.

In fact.

After sensing Gu Qingchen's aura, Bie Jingque was also incredibly amazed in her heart.

"Gu Qingchen truly lives up to being the formidable enemy in my simulation System. In just over a month, his cultivation has improved even more than mine!"

One must know that she had a simulation System!

In this short month, she had undergone nine more simulations.

Although the cultivation from the simulations couldn't be directly brought back, cultivation experience and Dao Principle insights could be.

Additionally, she could learn about some Opportunities within the simulations.

With all these enhancements, her strength had made a leap, and she thought she was close to catching up with Gu Qingchen.

But now, looking at it, the gap between them had actually grown even wider!

Whose System is this, yours or mine?

And so, amidst their mutual shock, Gu Qingchen, Time Late Star, and Bie Jingque met.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the unfamiliar young woman beside Gu Qingchen, Bie Jingque frowned: "Tsk tsk, you've got a new female Cultivator by your side again."

"What do you mean 'again'?"

Gu Qingchen raised an eyebrow and said, "Besides Late Star, you've only met Senior Sister Yun."

"Hmph, Late Star, Late Star, you call her so intimately."

For some reason, Bie Jingque felt a little uncomfortable.

She snorted lightly: "Don't forget, our relationship must be kept secret. After all, I don't want to be hunted down by the great powers of both the righteous and Demonic Paths like Senior Zuo Yuqiao."

"Don't worry."

Gu Qingchen waved his hand and said, "Late Star is trustworthy."

It wasn't that Gu Qingchen easily trusted others.

It was just that he felt Time Late Star knew him much better than he knew himself.

Furthermore, her strength was unfathomable; if she truly wanted to target him, there were countless ways.

There was no need to spread information about him colluding with the Sect Saintess of the Heaven Executing Dao.

Feeling the trust in Gu Qingchen's tone towards Time Late Star, Bie Jingque grew even angrier.

She snorted: "I've already gathered information about the Yuanshi Holy Land colluding with my Heaven Punishing Dao, but what will you exchange for it?"

...
