Who Would Begin the Calamity? (Thanks to Alliance Leader Dumb Old Man for the 100,000 Reward)

As Gu Shaoshang opened his eyes, purple streams of light, like mercury spilling across the ground, flowed into view.

More than seventy years was no more than the flick of a finger to him, yet the Purple Intent within the ancestral temple had grown ever more resplendent, filling the entire temple as though tangible.

The ancestral temple existed beyond the spacetime of the Great Dao, self-contained. It appeared tiny, yet was nearly infinitely vast.

At this moment, it was completely flooded with purple qi.

Within the flickering bean-sized flame, a purple void seemed to have formed, leading to an unknown spacetime.

The Purple Intent continuously pouring forth came from that void.

With just one glance, Gu Shaoshang could feel an Ancient Desolation bearing down upon him.

Within that Ancient Desolation, Gu Shaoshang seemed to sense the extinction of Da Luo, the fall of Hunyuan, the decline and deathly silence of universes...

All calamities seemed to lie within it.

Gu Shaoshang lowered his eyes.
