CHAPTER 1003: CHAPTER 771: FEAR

"Gu Jinlai!? Who is Gu Jinlai? There’s no such person in the Xuanhuang Star Domain!"

"That name sounds familiar. Didn’t Mu Wuying come into contact with him over a decade ago? It seems he intended to recruit him into our All Worlds Alliance?"

"I’ve heard of this person too, but wasn’t he known to be no more than a renowned Golden Immortal? Even if we overestimate his abilities, counting him as a top-tier Golden Immortal, he shouldn’t have been able to harm the Alliance Leader in the slightest. How could he possibly defeat the elite led by the Alliance Leader?"

The members of the All Worlds Alliance were in an uproar.

Among them, Mu Wuying, Xuan He, Bi Luo, and others, who were considered Gu Jinlai’s "old acquaintances," exchanged confused glances, almost thinking that Long Ang had mistaken someone else.

"Gu Jinlai, is it the Gu Jinlai from the Longevity World?"

Wu Ge, who was also among the crowd, suddenly asked.

At this moment, a bad premonition arose in his heart.

If he remembered correctly, back at the Longevity World, Gu Jinlai claimed that his True Body needed another month to arrive.

And he also said that the combat strength of his True Body was no less than that of a Supreme Golden Immortal...

Could it be...

Was he telling the truth!?

Does he truly possess the power of a Supreme Golden Immortal, thus, during the crucial period when the Alliance Leader led the attack on the Golden Immortal Alliance, he struck unexpectedly, ambushing the Alliance Leader, thereby defeating the elites of the All Worlds Alliance, leading to severe losses, even annihilation!?

"If we were only defeated, our All Worlds Alliance might have a chance to regroup, but..."

Long Ang’s eyes were filled with deep unease and disbelief: "According to the information I received, this battle... all the Golden Immortals on our All Worlds Alliance side in the Cangyun Realm have been completely annihilated..."

Saying this, he couldn’t help but show a terrified expression on his face: "The All Worlds Alliance... is finished."

"Annihilated?"

Hearing this, Yuan Sheng, the descendant of the Alliance Leader, finally realized something. He suddenly stepped forward and shouted fiercely: "Annihilated? What do you mean by annihilated!?"

Someone else stood abruptly, exclaiming in terror: "Wait, Long Ang, you don’t mean the Alliance Leader, as well as Han Yu and Tian Qing, the two Vice Alliance Hierarchs, are also..."

The quick-reacting Golden Immortals immediately took out the specially crafted Communication Jade Tokens of the All Worlds Alliance, using these to perceive the divine sense therein.

Facing the inquiries of the crowd, Long Ang nodded sorrowfully.

Immediately, Yuan Sheng couldn’t help but scream: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Alliance Leader, as a Supreme Golden Immortal, and in possession of an Immortal Artifact, who in the Xuanhuang Star Domain can kill him? Even if Zhou Huang himself made a move, the Alliance Leader, even if unable to win, could still retreat, how could he be killed by this... this Golden Immortal from who knows where?"

"How could Gu Jinlai have such power!? Is he even more formidable than Zhou Huang!?"

The other Golden Immortals shouted in shock and anger.

It seemed that only by losing their composure and their voices could they suppress the fear in their hearts and cover up the truth of the demise of the three Alliances Leaders.

But it was only a moment before these Golden Immortals stopped shouting.

Looking at the Communication Jade Tokens in their hands, as well as other devices capable of detecting the life and death of others, their faces turned deadly pale, their eyes engulfed by fear and trembling.

"It’s true... it’s true... the Alliance Leader’s Communication Jade Token has already..."

"I can no longer sense the aura of the Alliance Leader remaining on the Primordial Soul Lamp. The Alliance Leader... has truly encountered misfortune!?"

"How could this happen, how could this happen..."

All the Golden Immortals in the scene were in chaos.

Some Golden Immortals couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

They weren’t good at fighting, not adept at combat. It was those who followed the Alliance Leader in the battles against the Golden Immortal Alliance in the Cangyun Realm who were the elite daring to fight and kill for the All Worlds Alliance, now that these elites were completely wiped out...

Reflecting on what they had done in the Xuanhuang Star Domain over the past decade, they almost anticipated the downfall they would face without the protection of the Alliance Leader and other elites.

"Supreme Golden Immortal... Gu Jinlai... is he truly a Supreme Golden Immortal?"

Wu Ge muttered to himself, looking lost and forlorn.

Not long ago, he actually ventured into the hometown of such a Supreme Golden Immortal, using the destruction of the other party’s world as a threat, to make the person surrender!?

At this thought, he suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

At that time...

What on earth was he thinking!?

How did he have the courage!?

To say such things in front of a Supreme Golden Immortal!?

"Everyone, now is not the time for us to panic and be unsettled. After Gu Jinlai and the Golden Immortal Alliance wiped out our All Worlds Alliance’s elite, they won’t just let it go. At this moment, there’s a high likelihood they’re already coming for our All Worlds Alliance."

Long Ang’s tone was somewhat hurried: "The Cangyun Realm is a great realm, with active Space Avenue. The journey from Cangyun Realm to our base isn’t considered long... Even if Gu Jinlai took nearly a month to travel from the Longevity World, his travel speed not being quick, thanks to the activity of Space Avenue, to fight our All Worlds Alliance won’t take him more than a few days. Without the Alliance Leader and that Immortal Artifact, the All Worlds Alliance can no longer hide, and what to do next, we must make a decision."

"The activity of the Space Avenue..."

At that moment, Wu Ge suddenly recalled something and exclaimed: "Gu Jinlai didn’t actually take nearly a month to rush from the Longevity World to Cangyun Realm, he wasn’t originally in the Longevity World... we may not have much time left. According to my speed, it takes only half a day to return from Cangyun Realm to headquarters... Even if Gu Jinlai can’t match my speed, there are experts in the Golden Immortal Alliance who control the Space Avenue. Even if their Space Avenue isn’t adept at long-distance escape, with the assistance of a Space Immortal Artifact, they could reach our All Worlds Alliance headquarters in no more than two days..."

"So we have at most two days!?"

"Damn it, even if we need to fully retreat, how can two days be enough? There’s simply no time to pack up all the precious resources."

"Wu Ge said at most two days. To be safe, we can only count on one day... There’s no time to waste here, we must inventory the materials and disperse them!"

"A Supreme Golden Immortal, allied with many elites of the Golden Immortal Alliance. Avoiding their sharp edge temporarily is the best choice."

One by one, the Golden Immortals stood up in anxious panic.

Everyone’s first thought was to safeguard their own interests, take their resources and treasures accumulated over the past decade, and leave as quickly as possible.

As for fighting for the All World Alliance...

What a joke, since Alliance Leader Yuan Wuji and the elite led by the two Vice Alliance Hierarchs are all wiped out, how could these famous Golden Immortals possibly fight against Gu Jinlai with the Golden Immortal Alliance under his lead?

The power had already been reversed.

Long Ang watched this unfold, opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But in the current scene, none of the Golden Immortals paid him any attention, all preparing their supplies to leave, estimating that even if he were to speak a few words to avenge the alliance leader, he wouldn’t get any response.

All of them are Great Dao Golden Immortals, and knowing that the enemy is unbeatable, going head-on would only mean death. No one would risk their lives for so-called "loyalty."

"Damn it! Gu Jinlai..."

Wu Ge couldn’t sit still either at this moment.

If other Golden Immortals fled, whether the Supreme Golden Immortal would chase him down was unknown, but he...

He was undoubtedly already on Gu Jinlai’s must-kill list.

Once caught by Gu Jinlai, there would not be even a single chance of survival.

"Go! Go! Go! While Gu Jinlai hasn’t arrived yet, pack up, and leave immediately! Leave the Xuanhuang Star Domain, explore the Heart of the Cosmic! Until becoming an Immortal Golden Immortal, never return to this starry sky!"

In his heart filled with fear, he sprang up: "Start preparing now, only take the closest few people, and within a day... no! Half a day! I must set off!"

With this thought, he transformed into a light and quickly flew towards the city where he lived.

The entire All World Alliance, following the loss of control from the top, rapidly descended into chaos.

Everywhere were Great Dao Golden Immortals thinking of packing and taking away all kinds of treasures. Some Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals even fought fiercely over the ownership of certain materials, completely devoid of any past camaraderie.

In such a situation, even before Gu Jinlai arrived, the number of Immortal casualties in the All World Alliance was already in the tens of thousands.

Apart from a large number of mid-rank Profound Immortals, it even included one Golden Immortal.

This Golden Immortal was not skilled in combat yet excellent in calculating world coordinates. Because of his contributions in this area, he found the headquarters of the Lianshan Alliance and caught them off guard under the lead of their All World Alliance, establishing the outcome of the Lianshan Alliance’s demise.

Afterward, he was awarded a top-grade Immortal Device by the alliance leader.

In the chaos, an unknown Golden Immortal made a move, secretly assassinating this Golden Immortal and seizing his top-grade Immortal Device.

Not only this Golden Immortal, but in fact, Bi Luo also suffered a forcible borrowing of an Immortal Artifact by a renowned Golden Immortal.

At a critical moment, Mu Wuying hurried over.

Though he was not a renowned Golden Immortal, his Divine Sense Ability had reached the Fourth Rank, with a reasonable Great Dao compatibility, making him outstanding among ordinary Golden Immortals.

Additionally, because he was friends with several Golden Immortals, this renowned Golden Immortal didn’t want to waste time killing them, sparing Bi Luo, who was almost at the bottom among Golden Immortals.

This scene filled this Golden Immortal’s eyes with grief and disappointment.

"Why... why did it become like this?"

"The Immortals of the All World Alliance can share hardship but not prosperity. This was already an omen when the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty left, and the All World Alliance dominated this Star Domain. Many Golden Immortals, for resources’ sake, used every possible means, casually exterminating billions of lives in worlds, almost indistinguishable from demons. Previously, with Yuan Wuji, Hao Tianqing, Han Yu, and a few other Alliance Leaders suppressing from above, these people dared not go too far, but now... the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, they naturally want to go wild in the last moments."

Mu Wuying sighed deeply.

The once rampant All World Alliance didn’t fall at the hands of Zhou Huang’s Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty but rather met its demise by offending someone they shouldn’t have after the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty left. This, unavoidably, seemed very ironic.

"In the next day or so, including after our own fleeing, the various regions of the starry sky can hardly be considered safe. We should still unite, take our family and disciples, and escape in groups. This way, even if we can’t stop Gu Jinlai and the Golden Immortal Alliance, at least we won’t die at the hands of our own people."

Mu Wuying said as he glanced at the horizon.

There, two Golden Immortals were in a fierce confrontation, with the Great Dao’s rumble accompanied by waves affecting an area of thousands of miles.

The headquarters of the All World Alliance housed the families and disciples of a large number of Golden Immortals and Profound Immortals, whose cultivation was not considered high.

The energy aftermath of the two Golden Immortals’ full-force actions could inadvertently cause the death of countless innocents.

"Let’s go, there’s only one day. Bring as many as you can, and for those who can’t, let them fend for themselves."

Mu Wuying advised.

Bi Luo nodded, and the group quickly busied themselves.

And by the time Gu Jinlai arrived navigating a Star Shuttle through the void, what he witnessed was an All World Alliance utterly embroiled in internal strife and chaos, with dozens of Golden Immortals but losing all capacity to resist.
