The profound path was bathed in a golden mist. It was incredibly overt, as it extended all the way from a distant place. Everyone was stunned upon seeing it. They never expected that this partially completed Reincarnation Platform would attract such a terrifying anomaly.

It seems my hypothesis was right. This is a marker left behind by the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being, murmured Gu Changge. His eyes were filled with a peculiar gleam as his thoughts raced. Somehow, he wasnt surprised at all. He had already suspected that someone had conjured up a major scheme behind the backs of people of the Eternal Overcast.

After careful consideration, he came to the conclusion that the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being must be the culprit.

The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being must have visited Eternal Overcast in the past. Otherwise, Jia Nan and the others would not have been searching for his Successor, to help forge the Reincarnation Platform. Looking at it now, it seemed that the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had planned it all along. He had used the platform to leave coordinates so that he could come back here again in the future. As for his intentions, Gu Changge thought that they were most likely related to the origins of the Eternal Overcast.

Speaking of which, the true Successor of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had fallen victim to his schemes. The numerous legacies left behind by the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had also now fallen into his hands. Gu Changge couldnt say for sure whether the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being would be an enemy or an ally if he truly appeared.

Whats going on? The Reincarnation Platform hasnt even been fully forged yet. Why is this happening all of a sudden?

Is someone about to descend?

The radiant golden path pierced through the darkness of Eternal Overcast and spread in an instant, leaving many Eternal Overcast Beings gawking in shock.

This path

Isnt this supposed to light up the path to that place? Why is it now leading someone here?

Were all of us deceived?

At this moment, the Great Ancestors reacted instantly. Their expressions turned incredibly grim. The Reincarnation Platform was meant to help them illuminate a path to that mysterious and eerie place. But now, it had been prematurely ignited, serving as a beacon to guide someone else to the coordinates here. They couldnt believe that nothing was wrong with this. After all, the Reincarnation Platform had yet to be fully forgedit was merely still a scaffolding that hadnt met their expectations.

Is this that brats doing? asked one of the Great Ancestors who stared at Gu Changge, his words laced with a chilling tone. Although two Great Ancestors met their end by the hands of Gu Changge, the existence of the ancient wells allowed them to reshape their bodies. Because of that, they still hadnt truly felt the gravity of the danger.

Another Great Ancestor spoke up, his tone resolute and unwavering without a hint of doubt.Its not him. This might be the handiwork of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being!

Right then, several other Great Ancestors were also hit by the realisation. The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being was the one who bestowed the method of forging the Reincarnation Platform upon them. He also informed them that the mysterious land could be revealed through the Reincarnation Platform.

If the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had made any moves, they would be helpless. And even if he really did tamper with something, it wasnt like they could do anything about it.

He has deceived us! One of the Great Ancestors faces turned sour immediately. The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being was an Absolute Being from the Celestial Ancient Times. He controlled the Principles of Reincarnation and could traverse through the River of Time. It would be difficult for the Great Ancestors to detect it once someone like him was determined to set them up. Moreover, the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being swore upon his Dao Heart when he made a deal with them. No one would have thought that the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being would dare to break a Dao Oath he made on his Dao Heart.

I see you folks are not complete fools. You finally understood. Unfortunately, its too late now. Gu Changge chuckled lightly, and when he observed the expressions of the Great Ancestors, he knew that they had already realised the truth.

Damn it! Everything is in vain in the end! Dammit!

Terrifying mist once again swept in from the depths of the Eternal Overcast. Not only that, ominous black bolts of lightning tore through the sky as if it wanted to split the universe in half.

After the Great Ancestors understood everything, their emotions fluctuated greatly. They were filled with anger, regret, and above all, despair. The ancient wells were on the verge of drying up, and if they could not find that mysterious land soon, it wouldnt be long before they would be corroded by decay and truly perish without any chance of resurrecting.

At this moment, all the Eternal Overcast Beings felt the Great Ancestors profound despair. They couldnt help but prostrate themselves on the ground as they trembled uncontrollably. They didnt know why the Great Ancestors had fallen into such despair, nor could they fathom it.

*Rumble*

Right then, there seemed to be frightening fluctuations permeating the air in the distant sky. As that golden path continued to spread endlessly, a divine radiance dripped from it like a hymn that was beckoning someones arrival.

Everyone then saw the vague figure, seemingly crossing through the stars to come here. Even people like Jia Nan and the others couldnt help but feel a sense of trepidation as if their souls were frozen under the gaze of that figure. This immense power was more terrifying and awe-inspiring than their Great Ancestors.

Its the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being!

It is indeed him!

The Great Ancestors faces fell when they saw this mans silhouette. They were filled with an incomparable sense of rage and killing intent. They never expected that the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being, who had vanished for countless ages, would still exist in this world and even descend upon Eternal Overcast in such a manner.

Gu Changges intrigued gaze also fell upon the figure. [So, this is the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being? His aura is truly profound unlike an ordinary persons. He truly deserves to be the overlord of the Celestial Ancient Era.]

He could sense the movement from the Stage of Reincarnation Enlightenment he obtained back in the Celestial Ancient Continent as the numerous runes in it awakened.

Initially, after obtaining this object, he devoured and absorbed the Power of Reincarnation within it and refined a Symbol of Reincarnation as an insurance to his life a second life. Subsequently, the object became lifeless like it was dead, completely devoid of any spiritual power. However, he never thought it would revive today and manifest an entirely different power.

[It seems that the legacy the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being left behind is more to meet the eyes.] With a thought, Gu Changge suppressed the Stage of Reincarnation. The look in his eyes deepened in that second. He was genuinely curious about what the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being, who had been hiding behind the heavens for such a long time, had been plotting and scheming.

During his peak, the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had definitely surpassed the level of a True Daoist. His ambitions were certainly not as simple as reaching the Immortal Realm.

Soon, a golden walkway extended from beyond the sky and swiftly descended to the centre of the Eternal Overcast Kingdom. The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being then appeared looking majestic and otherworldly as his robe fluttered with each step. He appeared to be in his thirties or forties, and yet he exuded an immortal aura that evoked a sense of both worldly wisdom and divine transcendence.

Wearing a gentle smile, he lightly brushed against the Reincarnation Platform before him, his gaze seemingly filled with nostalgia and emotions. Greetings, Fellow Daoists,

He hummed before continuing. I managed to find my way back thanks to this. He sounded reminiscent as he spoke.

However, the few Great Ancestors standing in the depths of the Eternal Overcast homeland remained silent, their gazes cold and indifferent as they looked at him. They were not stupid. It was because of the Dao Oath that they had mistakenly believed in the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being. But now that they had realised the truth, they understood that the scheming Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had another agenda.

He obviously came harbouring ill intentions.

So, you must be my Successor. The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being shifted his gaze from the Reincarnation Platform and looked kindly at Gu Changge as he spoke.

Gu Changge maintained his indifferent demeanour and smiled casually as he replied, You have mistaken me for someone else, Senior. I am not your Successor. On the contrary, I killed the person you chose to be your Successor and claimed that legacy of his for myself.

He spoke with such ease and comfort without hiding anything. Since the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had already planned everything, he must have known that Gu Changge was not his chosen Successor.

Many Eternal Overcast Beings were shaken and shocked upon hearing this. They had always believed that Gu Changge was the true Successor of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being, they were completely unaware of the truth.

[The true Successor of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being was killed by him a long time ago?]

However, the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Beings expression barely changed when he heard that. In fact, it even seemed like he had known it long ago. He only offered a small smile and replied, Regardless of the circumstances, you are my Successor as long as you obtain my legacy.

In other words, no matter how Gu Changge obtained his legacy, he would be considered the Successor because it had ended up in Gu Changges hands.

Oh, should I call you Master then, Senior? Gu Changge raised an eyebrow casually with a faint smile hanging on his lips. There wasnt a hint of respect in his words.

The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being seemed unperturbed by this. You and me, he smiled, why should we bother with such mundane formalities between us?

Truth be told, he felt as astonished and incredulous when he first laid eyes on Gu Changge. After all, Gu Changge seemed relatively young judging from his age and aptitude. Despite that, his cultivation had reached a level that even the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being thought was expansive enough to give him an extreme sense of danger.

The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had intended to trace back the Fragments of Time and deduce Gu Changges origins and future. However, right when he attempted to do so, a great crisis and unimaginable terror suddenly enveloped him, nearly causing a severe backlash.

He had to stop right there and then.

He didnt dare to continue prying after that.

The background of this Successor of his who had appeared out of nowhere was beyond his imagination. At least for now, it was beyond his reach.

Are you two birds of a feather? Reminiscing and showing sympathy for each other at a moment like this? The Great Ancestors had been watching all of this with cold eyes. They never expected that the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being would pay no attention to Gu Changges identity, nor did he care that Gu Changge had killed the real Successor of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being to seize his opportunity.

Upon hearing these words, the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being shifted his gaze away from Gu Changge and smiled politely at the Great Ancestors rather indifferently. How have you all been, Fellow Daoists? In my opinion, you must be nearing the end of your ropes.

With his average stature, he appeared minuscule standing before the towering figures of the Great Ancestors. However, a terrifying aura emanating from him that blurred even the World Principles made it impossible for anyone to underestimate him.

You made a Dao Oath upon your Dao Heart to help us find that mysterious place in the past. Yet now, you are breaking the oath and betraying us? Arent you afraid of retribution? One of the Great Ancestors frowned at having the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being expose their worry right from the get-go.

I did make a vow to help you in finding that place. Of course, Ill do that under the pretext that you would hand over those three mysterious ancient wells to me Unlike the gentle smile the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being maintained on his face, his eyes displayed a cold and indifferent depth.

He no longer concealed his intentions and goals. His purpose had remained unchanged from the beginning. Initially, he was wary of the methods the undying Six Great Ancestors possess. However, he later realised that they most relied on those three mysterious ancient wells.

From then on, he began calculating and planning, waiting for the moment when the well water was about to dry up before taking action. That was because even if the Six Great Ancestors could resurrect, they would still experience a period of weakness. The process of resurrection and reconstruction consumed the water from those three mysterious ancient wells. The day the well water eventually dried up would be the day the Great Ancestors had to face their deaths.

Dont even think about it! The ancient wells are the essence of our existence. How can we allow an outsider like you to taint them? Apart from the Great Ancestor, whose physical body had not been reconstructed yet, the faces of the other five Great Ancestors darkened, and a surge of killing intent filled the air.

Fellow Daoist, since my Successor is here today, he and I will claim these three wells for ourselves. If you are wise, you would know its better not to stubbornly resist. The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being shook his head and spoke as though he was advising the Great Ancestors.

He appeared to have an ethereal and dignified demeanour, but since he had been able to make such an extensive plan from the shadows of different worlds, he certainly wasnt a simple and benevolent individual.

Moreover, he could tell that this Successor of his had already fought against the Six Great Ancestors before he arrived here. Two of the Great Ancestors had even been defeated in the process, and they were forced to reconstruct their bodies and enter a period of weakness.

Hearing that, Gu Changge looked at the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being with a slightly curious gaze. He found it difficult to guess the latters true intentions. It sounded suspiciously simple if the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had been lurking for so long just for ancient these wells. Gu Changge had a feeling that the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had other motives.

[He must be plotting something else after hiding in the shadows for so many years. Lets see what hes plotting. Maybe I can make use of it.]

Various thoughts flashed through Gu Changges mind. His expression returned to normal, and he smiled at the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being, saying, Since you have said so, Master, I shall assist you in obtaining these three mysterious ancient wells.

Very well. My disciple and I will be taking these wells today. Naturally, we will need to have a glimpse of the secrets of eternal life, the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being replied with a nod and a smile after being slightly taken aback. He hadnt expected Gu Changge to switch sides so quickly.

Just moments ago, Gu Changge had appeared indifferent and unconcerned.

[But thinking about it, I was a prominent figure during the Celestial Ancient Era. There are even many legends about me that have remained even in the present world. Even though I cant look into Gu Changges background, Im sure he isnt a fool. He knows he should make the right choice in this situation. Rather than offending him, I might as well seize the opportunity to establish a good relationship with him and gain more benefits from him.]
