Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

"Haven't you been looking for me?"

Gu Changjin's voice wasn't loud, but to the silver-eyed ancient ape, it was like a bolt of lightning striking directly into its sea of ​​consciousness.

It knelt on the ground, looked up at the white-haired old man in black robes, and was momentarily unable to process what was happening.

"You... are you Gu Daojun?"

But... how could that be?

Gu Changjin is clearly a human, the leader of the Western Wilderness Dao Alliance, and the first Nascent Soul Dao Lord in the Xuan Yang Sect in a thousand years.

But that aura just now, how could it be any human god-level being?

That was clearly a great sage of the demon race, powerful enough to dominate the heavens and earth!

Among the demon race, not everyone who cultivates to the point of fusion can be called a Great Sage.

Only those who reach the late stage of the Fusion Realm, have a chance to transcend tribulations, and can suppress a region of the entire demon race, are qualified to be called "Great Sage".

The silver-eyed ancient ape once sensed a wisp of the Holy King's aura across the altar.

But the world that Gu Changjin had just created was even more profound than the oppressive aura cast by the Holy Monarch.

If a fight were to break out, it wouldn't dare to predict who would win or lose.

It is certainly not at a level that I can fathom.

Gu Changjin looked at the bewilderment on its face and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Then, he no longer concealed himself, and a trace of wild and demonic energy slowly emanated from his body.

boom!

The bloodline within the silver-eyed ancient ape trembled violently.

That was neither the bloodline of the ordinary ancient demon race, nor the body-cultivating techniques of human races that fused with demon bloodlines.

Rather, it was an ancient, tyrannical, and ferocious creature with the power to devour the heavens and earth. In a daze, it seemed to see a colossal black serpent, so enormous it could hardly be measured, slowly raising its head from the depths of the primordial wilderness.

Go get the Cuban snake!!!

Moreover, it's not a weak bloodline, but an extremely terrifying pure bloodline.

The silver-eyed ancient ape's eyes shifted.

Many things that I couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

Why did the Mountain-Shaking Demon Lord suddenly appear in the Western Wilderness?

Why is Bai Xuanyou, who is clearly a White Bone Demon Wolf, not listed in the demon clan's register?

Why does the Mountain-Shaking Demon Lord always say that the eldest brother of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain has boundless magical power and countless demon lords under his command when he is drunk?

It turns out it was wrong from the very beginning.

Gu Changjin was neither a pawn supported by the demon race nor a human god who had mistakenly entered the demon race's scheme.

He himself is a chess player.

The so-called Western Wilderness Alliance and the strange movements of the demon race, and even the appearance of the Mountain-Shaking Demon Lord and Bai Xuanyou, may all be just pawns casually placed by this "Great Sage".

The more the silver-eyed ape thought about it, the colder it felt. Just as it was about to express its loyalty...

Gu Changjin had already raised his hand, and his palm gently landed on its head.

"Asking around is too much trouble."

"I'll see for myself."

The silver-eyed ape's pupils contracted sharply.

"No--"

The next instant, the power of soul searching crashed down.

It felt dizzy and disoriented, as if an invisible hand was forcibly tearing apart the memories hidden in its mind.

The Holy Monarch of the Demon Clan, the Demon Court Beyond the Wilderness, the Crimson Abyss Secret Realm, and the Great Luo Heaven Domain of the Central Continent.

Images flashed rapidly before Gu Changjin's eyes.

The Silver-Eyed Ancient Ape did know more than the Myriad Bone Daoist, but not by much.

It was merely an envoy sent by the demon race to the Western Wilderness to investigate the situation; it still couldn't get to the core of the real situation.

But even these things alone are interesting enough.

The demon race's plan to conquer the Crimson Abyss Secret Realm was not merely to open a time-space passage to the Central Continent.

They also plan to replace a group of human prodigies who have entered the secret realm.

It's not a simple case of possession, but rather an extremely bizarre "identity swap".

From physical body, soul, memories to cause and effect, everything can be completely replaced by another demon.

The replaced person's relatives, sect, and even some magical artifacts that verify bloodline and soul would find it difficult to detect the problem.

This method was not created by the demon race itself, but rather obtained by the demon race from an unknown entity.

Moreover, this plan has been in place for a long time, dating back five thousand years.

In the Central Continent's Great Luo Heaven Domain, some people have already had their identities quietly changed.

Gu Changjin's eyes flickered slightly when he saw this.

"An unknown existence?"

They were able to create such a method, and then voluntarily handed it over to the demon race.

By any measure, he doesn't seem like a particularly enthusiastic fellow cultivator.

The search for the soul continues, and more memories surface.

With the opening of the Crimson Abyss Secret Realm, a group of young prodigies from the Central Continent's Great Luo Heaven Domain will enter it.

The demon race's true target is the number one prodigy of the younger generation of the human race.

If we can kill him and then replace his identity, we can then detonate the entire Crimson Abyss Secret Realm.

The spatial turbulence created by the shattering of the secret realm will be guided by a pre-arranged array to tear open the spatial barrier of an ancient sect in the Central Plains.

The sect has been deeply infiltrated by the demon race. With their combined efforts from within and without, the demon race can launch a major counterattack.

After reading it, Gu Changjin did not immediately believe it. Instead, he withdrew his hand and thoughtfully stroked his chin.

"Interesting, but this scheming is still too demonic."

Why would the number one prodigy of the human race enter the Crimson Abyss Secret Realm?

Who leaked the specific itinerary to the demon race?

They were able to find out so clearly in advance about the route after entering, the protectors, and their hidden cards.

Did those old fogies in Zhongzhou really not notice anything at all?

Or is this so-called number one prodigy of the human race just bait they deliberately threw out?

Gu Changjin didn't think that the Great Luo Heaven Domain, which was able to drive the demon race out of the Central Plains, would be so foolish as to let the demon race extend its reach into its own territory.

Moreover, the Silver-Eyed Ancient Ape might not even be qualified to know the true bigger picture.

The "complete plan" in its memory is likely just the version that the demon race's higher-ups wanted it to know.

The Silver-Eyed Ancient Ape is known as the Demon Lord among the demon race, but in the end, it is merely a pawn at the Void Returning level.

The person who truly decides this outcome is at least a being who has achieved the Fusion Realm, transcended tribulation, or even a higher level.

Gu Changjin saw the landscape beyond Zhongzhou from its memories.

The demon race is no longer the dominant force in Zhongzhou. In the beginning, the human and demon races jointly occupied Zhongzhou.

Later, a great war broke out, and the demon race suffered a crushing defeat and was driven into the outer wilderness.

That desolate wilderness was not only inhabited by the demon race; the insect race, the winged race, the stone race, and many other alien races that did not even have a unified name all lived in the outer wilderness.

The Central Continent's Great Luo Heaven Domain continuously sends out cultivators, sects, and mortals through the opening of ancient roads.

The so-called Western Wilderness is essentially a pioneering cultivation world established by the Central Plains human race after expanding into the wilderness.

With one side constantly expanding and the other being gradually squeezed out, it's not surprising that the demon race wants to launch a counterattack.

Can you really overthrow the Central Plains based solely on the scheming in the memories of the Silver-Eyed Ancient Ape?

Gu Changjin almost burst out laughing.

It's likely that as soon as the secret realm was blown open, a group of ancient human monsters were waiting on the other side to reap the rewards.

"There's something fishy going on here."

Gu Changjin muttered to himself.

However, whether there are ghosts or not is not of much concern to him.

The demon race is plotting against the human race, and the human race may also be plotting against the demon race.

All he needs to do is stand in the middle and see which side is more profitable.

The Crimson Abyss Secret Realm contains a spacetime layout, a method for replacing demons, and the hidden hands of the top genius of Central Continent and various high-ranking officials.

It would be a real shame not to take a look at this lively scene.

Moreover, the Crimson Jade Token is still in his hands, so he was originally meant to be a part of this game.

Of course, the most important thing is to take advantage of the passage to go to the Central Continent's Great Luo Heaven Domain, which is the core of the entire cultivation world.

After all, who can say for sure how many dangers lie in the ancient road leading to the Central Plains and exploring the cultivation world? It also involves passing through many wild and desolate lands.

In these wild and untamed lands live all sorts of strange and unusual races, or creatures that cannot be called races.

These strange and grotesque creatures range in strength from those who are weak and haven't even reached the Qi Refining stage to those who are strong and might even be on the verge of reaching the Integration Tribulation stage.

Gu Changjin looked down at the silver-eyed ancient ape that had collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with a gentle smile.

"You've waited for me for three years; you've had some patience."

"In that case, when the Crimson Abyss Secret Realm opens, you shall stay by my side."

The silver-eyed ape was in a state of confusion and did not respond at all.

Gu Changjin didn't care.

He looked up towards the direction of Zhongzhou.

A grand drama that the demon race has been preparing for five thousand years.

It seems like it's finally about to begin.
