Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 13: Su Changsheng: Taking the Empress as My Wife!

What’s happening? This is completely different from the future I remember. Even if my rebirth could have an impact, it shouldn’t be this significant! Outside the Gu family, in a dark corner, Gu Qingge thought. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, astonished as she looked at the decimated Gu family.

If it weren’t for activating a portion of her fragmented soul and using her Law-Aspect Realm strength and a secret technique to escape quietly, she would probably have been trapped in the Gu family as well.

“Su Changsheng, he achieved sainthood. The changes in the future are too drastic,” Gu Qingge muttered.

In her previous life, although she hadn’t stayed long in the True Saint Continent, she had heard some rumors about Su Changsheng. This person had secluded himself for hundreds of years and, after failing to break through to the Saint realm, was killed by the Gu family ancestor during the subsequent destruction of the clan.

But now, after her rebirth, everything had turned around. Su Changsheng successfully broke through and led the Su family to annihilate the Gu family. Such a change was too great. Even for her as the Empress, it was hard to believe.

“What future changes?” Just then, a voice came from beside her, asking Gu Qingge.

“Who?!”

Gu Qingge’s expression changed as she activated her fragmented soul, possessing the strength of the Law-Aspect Realm. Who could approach her without her noticing?

Boom!

She instantly launched a palm strike, surging with divine power that tore through space, heading toward the person. Countless radiant divine rays shimmered, surpassing the power of an ordinary Transcendent realm.

“Great Mirage Body!”

At the same time, without any hesitation, her other hand quickly formed seals, and in an instant, a radiant white moonlight blossomed, resplendent like a divine moon descending from the nine heavens.

Immediately after, Gu Qingge’s figure split into nine, transforming into nine moonlight shadows, about to disappear into the layers of space.

This was a profound body technique, the Great Mirage Body, which divided the body into nine, allowing for spatial movement and instantly traversing millions of miles. Moreover, the nine shadowy figures were illusory, making distinguishing between reality and illusion difficult.

With her current Law-Aspect Realm strength, even though she couldn’t achieve instant movement across millions of miles, covering hundreds of thousands of miles was still an effortless task. If it were an ordinary Half-Saint, slight negligence would likely allow her to escape.

“Impressive!” Su Changsheng’s expression slightly changed. He had already tried to give Gu Qingge a high estimation, but he didn’t expect her display of power to be even more incredible than he imagined. She was only in the Qi Sea Realm.

If it were before her breakthrough, he might not have been able to defeat Gu Qingge easily, and she could have escaped.

But now…

Boom!

Su Changsheng had a thought, and in an instant, billions of laws surged in this world. Countless runes shimmered and interconnected, constructing a vast spatial cage.

Divine radiance surged, and purple qi ascended. Every inch of space, layer upon layer, was enveloped within the cage, along with Gu Qingge’s nine moonlight bodies, all imprisoned within.

Clang!

Immediately after, with a flick of his finger, Su Changsheng released a burst of stellar sword light that extinguished Gu Qingge’s attack. Then, with a turn of his palm, he collected the spatial cage in the palm of his hand.

“I have used my true strength to prevent you from escaping!” Looking at the beautiful figure of Gu Qingge reappearing within the cage in the palm of his hand, Su Changsheng said and smiled.

Not only did he use the power of a Four-Heavens Saint, but to prevent any mishaps, he even activated the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, increasing his strength tenfold, comparable to a Nine-Heavens Saint.

All of this was to deal with someone in the Law-Aspect Realm, whose actual cultivation was only in the Qi Sea Realm. If others were to find out, they would be dumbfounded and incredibly shocked.

This was being excessively cautious!

“You…” Gu Qingge gritted her teeth inside the cage, glaring at Su Changsheng’s handsome face.

“Esteemed Saint, to deal with someone as insignificant as me in the Qi Sea Realm, you resorted to a sneak attack. Impressive!” She gnashed her teeth, her tone full of sarcasm.

“Qi Sea Realm? What Qi Sea Realm can unleash the power of the Law-Aspect Realm? What Qi Sea Realm would dare to make a move against a Saint? Little girl, you better watch your words!” Hearing this, Su Changsheng paid no attention and calmly asked smilingly.

Gu Qingge’s expression froze.

Little girl?

As the magnificent Empress of the Ten Thousand Calamities, the one who wielded the Red Lotus Immortal Fire and would become the ruler of the Future Eternal Heavenly Realm, she had killed not only a Saint but also more than one existence at the level of a Great Emperor.

A mere Saint, who didn’t even qualify to catch her attention, now dared to call her a little girl?

“Speak, what do you want? Although I am from the Gu family, I have no allegiance to them. I have no grudges against you. If you spare me, I will repay you in the future!” Gu Qingge secretly hated her heart, but when she was at the mercy of others, she had to suppress her anger and force a smile as she spoke.

“Well, I can tell that. However, I’m curious about your identity. In the Qi Sea Realm, you can unleash the power of the Law-Aspect Realm. Moreover, your divine soul is pure without any abnormalities, clearly not a reincarnation of an old monster seizing a new life!” Su Changsheng nodded slightly but didn’t release Gu Qingge. Instead, he looked at her with a playful gaze and pretended to be curious.

“You must be someone with awakened memories of a past life, possessing the enlightenment of a previous existence. And your previous life must have been terrifying, maybe even a quasi-emperor, or possibly a Grand Emperor of a certain realm!”

“However, you seem to know me and the Gu family well and even mentioned future changes. This doesn’t align with memories of a past life. In other words, you’re not a reincarnation but a being from the future.”

“A future Empress reincarnated and returned. Am I right, Gu Qingge?”

Su Changsheng wore a confident expression as he made his “speculations,” causing Gu Qingge to become even more serious. She hadn’t expected Su Changsheng to deduce her origins so clearly in such a short time.

“Yes, I am indeed reborn from the future. I am known as the Empress of Ten Thousand Calamities, the ruler of the Future Eternal Heavenly Realm. As long as you spare me, I can share various supreme techniques with you, Emperor’s Scriptures, Emperor’s Weapons, and unparalleled inheritances!” Gu Qingge said and calmed down. Her gaze focused as a hint of majesty appeared on her beautiful face.

“You are roughly six thousand years old, and only now have you broken through to the level of a Saint. This proves that your aptitude is average. Although you have a lifespan of fifty thousand years, it’s unlikely that you’ll achieve anything beyond the status of a Saint King, let alone break through to a Great Saint!”

“But I can guide you!”

“As long as you protect me, it will be effortless for you to break through to a Great Saint in the future. Breaking through to a Quasi-Emperor or even a Grand Emperor will also hold a glimmer of hope.”

“In this life, I am confident that I can surpass my previous self and achieve the Immortal Dao. By then, with the protection of your service, I can take you to ascend to the Immortal Domain, assisting you in achieving eternal life!”

Gu Qingge tempted, and to make Su Changsheng believe her words, she made up her mind and triggered a glimmer of imperial charm within her shattered divine soul.

Boom!

In the next instant, Su Changsheng saw that her form seemed to infinitely expand within the palm-sized figure of Gu Qingge in his hand, transforming into an endless and magnificent figure. It was an awe-inspiring and timeless figure, exuding tremendous majesty.

The entire figure was covered in the Red Lotus Immortal Fire, and a splendid imperial robe wrapped around her exquisite body, accentuating her alluring curves. Her appearance was extremely perfect, and between her eyebrows, there was a cluster of immortal fire imprints.

Her gaze was cold, her temperament icy, her skin as fair as white jade. Above the imperial robe, true phoenixes soared, and immortal birds sang. Just standing there, she seemed to overshadow the three thousand realms, displaying an unparalleled elegance that gazed down upon all eternity.

There might be countless divine women in the world, but none could compare to even a single strand of her hair.

Even Su Changsheng, at this moment, couldn’t help but be mesmerized, his eyes filled with astonishment. In these thousands of years, it was the first time he had seen such a perfect woman, stirring his heart endlessly.

“What do you think now? Do you believe me?”

However, soon after, that figure of the Empress vanished, and Gu Qingge’s appearance reappeared. Her face was pale as she asked with a weakened aura, her cultivation falling back to the Qi Sea realm. At this moment, she could no longer use the power of the shattered divine soul.

“I believe you. What an extraordinary and peerless Empress, unparalleled in beauty and talent,” Su Changsheng nodded solemnly, expressing his admiration.

“Then, have you decided to become my protector?” Gu Qingge’s eyes brightened, feeling joyful in her heart. Her efforts had paid off.

“Yes, I have decided. I will marry the Empress and become her husband, serving as her protector and helping her reclaim the imperial throne!” Su Changsheng looked deeply at Gu Qingge, his face beaming with affection.

Gu Qingge: “?”
