80: Entering the Celestial Palace of Reincarnation, one can witness the Path of Three Lifetimes!
"Go!"
After making his decision, Gu Qingchen retracted his Domain, leaving only three feet of pure land around him.
Then, he enveloped it with the celestial venerable array diagram, transforming into a streak of light that shot towards the Immortal Palace, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
"Human Race ants, dare to covet the Immortal Palace?"
The Clone of the Twin-Faced Demon Venerable snorted coldly, his five fingers forming a cage, descending from above like an eagle preying on a rabbit!
Seeing this, Gu Qingchen decisively sacrificed all the Demon Race war slaves he controlled in the Eighteen Layers of Hell, turning them into surging Origin that rushed into the celestial venerable array diagram.
In an instant, the damaged celestial venerable array diagram was actually stimulated to unleash a wisp of Heavenly Venerable power, directly shattering the Twin-Faced Demon Venerable Clone's large hand.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Gu Qingchen and the other person instantly break through his obstruction and head straight for the Immortal Palace, the Twin-Faced Demon Venerable's expression became extremely ugly.
He hadn't expected that even with his Clone manifested, he still couldn't take down two tiny ants.
However, he immediately burst out laughing.
"Haha, what if you break through my obstruction? Just obediently turn into a Blood Demon Slave in the boundless Blood Sea of Lord Blood Sea Demon Venerable!"
Just as Gu Qingchen and the other person were approaching the Reincarnation Immortal Palace, a massive blood sea wave crashed over from the Void Realm, sweeping them into the boundless Blood Sea.
Even the celestial venerable array diagram was corroded, subtly on the verge of having its control seized!
"No, if this continues, we won't be able to reach the Immortal Palace!"
Gu Qingchen gritted his teeth, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.
He violently activated his Domain, and the thirty-three heavens supreme treasures and the Eighteen Layers of Hell Underworld Treasures simultaneously appeared, forming a giant vortex that frantically devoured the surrounding Blood Sea.
In an instant.
Infinite power was refined and poured into the celestial venerable array diagram.
But at the same time, Gu Qingchen could easily perceive that his Domain was being invaded by the Blood Sea Law, subtly showing a tendency to be assimilated by the Blood Sea.
However, in the next moment, the exquisite myriad worlds map within the Domain subtly moved, completely devouring all the Blood Sea Law.
"I gambled correctly!"
With the exquisite myriad worlds map, a heavenly emperor weapon, guarding the Domain, any external Law would be completely devoured by it.
Moreover, it wouldn't emit any Extreme Dao Emperor's might, attracting the attention of the Great Emperors slumbering in the Black Calamity Abyss.
"Boom—"
Gu Qingchen protected his Domain with the celestial venerable array diagram and rushed out of the boundless Blood Sea.
"Oh?"
The Blood Sea Demon Venerable, who was currently locked in battle with Lady White Bone, let out a soft exclamation, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He hadn't expected Gu Qingchen to be able to break through his boundless Blood Sea.
This was completely beyond his expectations.
With such feeble strength, even with the celestial venerable array diagram, he shouldn't have been able to do it.
With a thought, another massive blood sea wave surged up, transforming into a gigantic blood-colored Dragon that pursued them.
Just as it was about to catch up, the resplendent Immortal Palace suddenly cast down a dazzling ray of light, enveloping Gu Qingchen and An Zhiyu.
The blood-colored Dragon crashed into the light, vanishing instantly like a clay ox entering the sea.
"This is... the Immortal Palace's welcoming light?"
The Blood Sea Demon Venerable was stunned for a moment, then a surge of anger and humiliation welled up in his heart.
"Damn it, we're fighting to the death here, but a Human Race brat has stolen a march on us!"
"Useless!"
Even Lady White Bone's pale little face was extremely unsightly: "You can't even stop two Human Race ants; all you Demon Race are useless!"
At this, both factions could no longer continue fighting.
The vast war ceased, and both sides sent people to invite their Heavenly Venerable Ancestor... Inside the Immortal Palace, it was unlike the imagined scene of swirling mist and Immortal Qi.
What met Gu Qingchen's eyes was only a winding path in the endless Void Realm.
The path stretched incredibly far, with no end in sight.
By the roadside stood a stele, on which three ancient-looking symbols were carved.
"Three Lives Road?"
An Zhiyu's somewhat indifferent eyes flashed with surprise as she saw the three ancient symbols before her.
"You recognize these characters?"
Gu Qingchen asked, a little surprised.
"Mm."
An Zhiyu nodded faintly.
"What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Gu Qingchen finally noticed An Zhiyu's abnormality.
This cold and indifferent An Zhiyu was too different from the playful, mischievous girl who had initially kept pestering him to call her "Wife".
"Oh."
An Zhiyu glanced at Gu Qingchen, then, while taking out a Medicinal Pill and tossing it into her mouth, she replied: "A sequela after the Heavenly Secret's backlash."
"There's such a sequela?"
Gu Qingchen frowned.
In his impression, Heavenly Secret's backlash usually only meant a great loss of cultivation or a reduction in lifespan; how could it affect one's personality?
"Hehe."
After taking the Medicinal Pill, the supreme indifference in An Zhiyu's eyes, like that of the Heavenly Dao, quickly receded, and she soon returned to her original self.
"Xiao Gu, Xiao Gu, do you like the me from just now, or the me now?"
"Cough."
An Zhiyu's drastic change made Gu Qingchen somewhat unable to keep a straight face, but he still replied seriously: "The current you is quite good."
"Then I'm relieved."
Receiving confirmation, An Zhiyu patted her chest: "Nana, I paid a huge price to help you, so why don't you call me 'Wife' once?"
"…"
Hearing this, Gu Qingchen was instantly speechless.
Alright.
The familiar An Zhiyu was back.
"No, no."
An Zhiyu seemed to have thought of something: "Xiao Gu, you still owe me a 'Wife', this time you have to say it twice."
However, Gu Qingchen seemed not to have heard her, walking over to the side of the stele.
He reached out, his fingertips slowly tracing the inscription: "You mean, these three characters carved on this stele are 'Three Lives Road'? Is the 'Three Lives' here referring to past life, present life, and future life?"
He remembered that in the myths and legends of his previous life, there were rumors of the Three Lives Stone.
It was said that the Three Lives Stone stood by the River of Forgetfulness, able to reveal the past and present lives of passing souls.
"Xiao Gu, you're changing the subject again!"
An Zhiyu pouted in dissatisfaction.
But she still nodded: "That's right, those are the three characters.
By the way, Xiao Gu, you now owe me two 'Wife's."
"Buzz!"
Just then, the Dao Stele inscribed with "Three Lives Road" suddenly trembled slightly, and symbols resembling ancient characters appeared out of thin air, branded into the Void Realm.
An Zhiyu looked on in surprise, then softly recited:
Faint traces of time, ashes of the fate wheel, three thousand Karma all enter the prophecy.
Past life's ashes, present life's Dao lock, only after nine turns of Reincarnation does divine wrath appear.
Green Lotus blooms Karma, Purple Heavens entangle calamity, Sumeru's fate seal collapses at world's end.
Heavenly Mandate Dao Pact, Reincarnation's remnant page, only when breaking the Void Realm is the Heavenly Flaw seen.
After reciting, she said excitedly: "Qingchen, your name is in there!"
As An Zhiyu recited, Gu Qingchen also felt an extremely peculiar, ineffable sensation.
"My name? Is this a coincidence or..."
