Translator: Fate Translation Checker: Silavin Xiao Ruoyin was in the midst of contemplating the Dao of Fate. Her body was shrouded in a hazy glow that made her seem like a goddess from the Moon. She looked ethereal and captivating. Her skin glowed with the light of crystals. She did not expect Gu Changge to come over, but despite her shock, she hurriedly stood up to greet him. “Greetings, Divine Lord.” “At ease.” Gu Changge waved her up with a calm expression. He looked around and asked, “Are you the only one here in the Sanctum of Destiny?” The massive palace structure seemed quiet and desolate. There was barely any sign of life. He had specifically taken a closer look when he came over. He did not expect to find not even a single maidservant. The place was gloomy all year long. It seemed cold and desolate. “In the Sanctum of Destiny, just I alone will suffice.” Xiao Ruoyin responded with an unaffected expression. She did not care much about this. She was used to being alone. She had also been alone in the Sanctum of Destiny back in the Immortal palace. Things only got a little livelier during the rituals. “It is peaceful to be by yourself, but it also feels too desolate.” Gu Changge approached Xiao Ruoyin and gave her a rare smile. “When you’re free, you can pay a visit to Mingkong and the others. Talk to them about what you deal with here in the Sanctum of Destiny or any other topic. It’s better than remaining alone here.” Either way, Xiao Ruoyin was one of his women now. Although their initial relationship involved a lot of scheming and manipulation, that was all in the past now. Gu Changge would not hold the past against Xiao Ruoyin or distance himself from her. He did not need to. “I understand.” Xiao Ruoyin’s lovely eyes rested on Gu Changge’s face briefly. Then, she lowered her gaze and said, “However, if you’re free, I hope that you can drop by more often.” Gu Changge did not expect her to make such a request. The High Priestess of Destiny from the Immortal Palace would never say such a thing, but the Xiao Ruoyin before him now was no longer the same Xiao Ruoyin of the past. He did not feel opposed to her request. “You must have come because of the Celestial Boat of Creation. Several hours ago, the Demoness in Red and Tao Yao from Peach Village came and borrowed it. I know I cannot defeat them in a fight, so after giving it some thought, I decided to give it to them.” Xiao Ruoyin explained the situation. She was intelligent enough to know that Gu Changge was not here simply to visit her. She also knew Tao Yao and the Demoness in Red seemed to have some kind of indescribable relationship with Gu Changge. Gu Changge nodded. He did not fault her for her actions. “I know about that already. They wish to use the Celestial Boat of Creation to cross the River of Time and head back to the past to find out the truth about certain things,” Gu Changge said as he shook his head. Xiao Ruoyin had managed to deduce the reason for their actions too. After all, Gu Changge was the Demon Lord who existed even before the Forbidden Epoch. And Chan Hongyi, the Demoness in Red, was his disciple… Yet, from the looks of it now, there was a kind of resentment and hostility between Chan Hongyi and Gu Changge. On the day of Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong’s wedding, Chan Hongyi personally delivered an Immortal’s corpse as a wedding gift and exposed Gu Changge’s true identity. The entire sequence of events had rocked the whole Upper Realm. At the end of the day, even Xiao Ruoyin did not know why Gu Changge wiped out the Immortal Palace back in the Forbidden Epoch and brought an end to that era. Before that, she even felt that the Demon Lord and the Grand Palace Master of the Immortal Palace had an extremely close relationship. “You can sense the Celestial Boat of Creation, right?” Gu Changge asked. He got straight to the point. This was the reason why he came. He needed to know the coordinates of the Celestial Boat of Creation in the River of Time to determine where Chan Hongyi and Tao Yao were. “I can indeed sense where the Celestial Boat of Creation is, but I will need some time to prepare…” Xiao Ruoyin replied. Gu Changge nodded. He could afford to wait. He immediately instructed Xiao Ruoyin to start the process of determining the Celestial Boat of Creation’s location. The Forbidden Epoch had long been broken and submerged in the River of Time. It was shrouded in endless swirls of dense fog. There were even beings that could not be described in words who would devour those who entered the River of Time by mistake. It was impossible for Chan Hongyi and Tao Yao to return to the Forbidden Epoch. At most, they would simply come into contact with some of the broken Fragments of Time of that era. Time was the most powerful and mysterious force in existence. Even Immortals could not clearly discern time. Based on Gu Changge’s current strength, he did not have any problems crossing the River of Time. However, if he wanted to twist or alter certain things, he would have to pay a heavy price. It could easily lead to another major reshuffling. It might even attract the attention of certain supreme experts who could interrupt his future plans. The ancient sacrificial scriptures were lit up inside the Sanctum of Destiny. Xiao Ruoyin’s exquisite face was sporting a solemn expression as she established a connection with the Celestial Boat of Creation in an attempted to confirm its precise location. She sat cross-legged on the floor. Her white robe fluttered even in the stillness of the hall. Light scattered around as the ancient runes disappeared from the void. A soft glow emerged before her like a ripple in a still pond. Grand Runes flew out as Time Principles solidified. Immortal Essence appeared as well. “The location in time…” Gu Changge’s gaze deepened as all manner of terrifying scenes played, including the fall of stars and the collapse of universes. A massive fluctuation started behind him as an endless and mysterious river emerged with the sound of constant splashing. Fragments of Time flowed along the river as Chaos Qi cascaded in waves. It seemed to stretch down from the ends of the world and contained all the mysteries of life. The river was hazy and unclear. It was only a small section of the River of Time. However, Gu Changge simply needed to ascertain the segment of the River of Time. Due to the Celestial Boat of Creation, Gu Changge did not have to enter the River of Time himself and bear the unimaginable backlash and karmic consequences. Soon, a mysterious, green-coloured engraved stone appeared in his hand. The aura of time and space was constantly flowing within it, giving off a dim glow that was incomparably abstruse. “The Spacetime Stone. Once the Space Node has been confirmed, it can be used to mark the location. That way, I wouldn’t be lost in the River of Time.” Gu Changge murmured to himself. His eyes flickered as he stared at the River of Time. He was confirming the location and sensing the powerful energy of the place. He needed to be careful throughout this process, for if he honed in on the wrong Node and ventured forth, he would only be wasting his time. In the past, he used the Spacetime Stone to set up his grand scheme of ensnaring the Upper Realm. Now, he was using it as a marker for a location in space and time to confirm his destination. “I’ve sensed the location of the Celestial Boat of Creation…” Just then, Xiao Ruoyin’s eyes opened. She sensed the karma shift there and was able to pinpoint a small Node in the River of Time. She could sense that the Celestial Boat of Creation was currently located at that Space Node.
