The Fusion of the Small Worlds

Gu Huaiwei wants to merge the five smaller worlds.

Gu Huaiwei is a very persistent person. He will do anything to get the person he has set his mind on, and he will complete the thing he has decided to do no matter how much it takes.

Even though Qi Yaoji felt she didn't know what Gu Huaiwei really wanted to do, she could still tell what kind of person he was.

Just like this time, long before luring the High Antiquity Devil Race to the Lower Realm and causing this chaotic situation, Gu Huaiwei had already made many arrangements.

Even now, Qi Yaoji still has some concerns about Gu Huaiwei's decision.

"Master, will doing this really give us a chance to ascend?" Qi Yaoji looked at the man who had changed his mask again.

The other party never revealed his true face to her, and rarely said anything to appease his subordinates. But the Qi Household father and daughter regarded him as a god, and were wholeheartedly devoted to working for the man in front of them. They even went so far as to crawl into the jade pendant to help that fool Su Fuyun devise strategies.

But Qi Yaoji wasn't stupid. She wouldn't go to such lengths to help Gu Huaiwei if there weren't enough benefits to win her over.

Ascension was her sole purpose.

"Of course!" Gu Huaiwei's eyes, peeking out from behind the black mask, looked at Qi Yaoji with kindness and compassion. He said, half affirming and half coaxing, "How could I deceive you? Everything I've done is to ensure that the people I care about can successfully ascend!"

Even though she couldn't see his expression clearly, Qi Yaoji seemed to be bewitched by the only thing she could see in his eyes.

Even though the man didn't explicitly say who the "person he cared about" was, she inexplicably felt from his eyes that it must be her.

Qi Yaoji lowered her head. Things had already come to this point, and it was too late for her to back out now.

Rather than giving up halfway, it's better to give it your all.

Qi Yaoji quickly made up her mind. "Yes, I will take care of it immediately."

As mentioned before, every step Gu Huaiwei has taken has been the result of careful planning. Long before today, he had already made many preparations for merging the five small worlds.

Allowing the High Antiquity Devil Race to invade was only the first step. Once all five small worlds were filled with Demonic Qi, the first condition for fusion would have been met.

As for the second condition, it concerns the Gu Huaiwei had done in these five small worlds.

Qi Yaoji acted swiftly, preparing a massive altar for Gu Huaiwei as instructed. The treasures displayed on the altar's table were items Gu Huaiwei had painstakingly collected over the years.

Among them were precious spiritual items such as Shattered Sky Stones and Realm-Breaking Flowers, as well as the heart of High Antiquity Devil Race royal family and the beast core of a ninth-order Demon Beast.

Even a single glance from afar was enough for the high-ranking Devil Race who came to witness the ceremony to feel the immense pressure emanating from the altar.

The Devil Race Feng Meng coldly watched Gu Huaiwei dance with his sword and offer sacrifices to the heavens on the high platform, and then saw him throw those incomparably precious items one by one into that tenth-grade Pill Furnace that could be called a celestial artifact.

Only after that pitch-black heart was thrown in did Feng Meng narrow his eyes, his expression slightly displeased.

"You guys are quite capable. If I'm not mistaken, that's probably the heart of my Devil Race, isn't it?" Feng Meng even sensed a familiar aura on it.

He just didn't expect that the undigested heart belonged to Prince Futu.

Qi Yaoji was unaware of these matters, as Gu Huaiwei had obtained most of the items herself. She simply smiled slightly at Feng Meng and said, "If you are unwilling to accept our help, then we can terminate this ritual."

Upon hearing this, Feng Meng snorted coldly, but made no attempt to end the conversation.

He's not stupid; if the five smaller worlds aren't integrated, it will be troublesome for them to attack. And even if they eventually win, managing them will be very difficult.

Since the other party has offered to help them merge their small world, all they have to give up is the heart of a high-level Devil Race. Why wouldn't they accept?

Anyway, high-level Devil Race are something you can have as many of as you want, as long as there's enough Demonic Qi and enough time.

With Feng Meng's tacit approval, the sacrificial ceremony proceeded very smoothly.

On the altar, Gu Huaiwei wore a loose white robe, holding a sword in one hand and a bell in the other. The sound of Sword Qi cutting through the sky mixed with the crisp sound of the bell kept coming. Black flames also suddenly burst into flames under the tenth-grade Pill Furnace.

The ceremony lasted for an unknown amount of time, until Feng Meng was about to lose patience and wanted to leave first. Suddenly, Gu Huaiwei stopped what he was doing, threw down what he was holding, and stood in Pill Furnace, letting out a shout.

The constantly trembling Pill Furnace was suddenly forced open by a force, and a huge cloud of gray gas roared out.

The onlookers felt that the gray cloud seemed to be filled with indistinct demons and ghosts, all desperately scrambling to fly into the sky.

The Devil Race and cultivators who were still fighting stopped their attacks at the same time and looked up at the rapidly rising gray cloud of gas.

The sound, like the roar of ten thousand beasts, resounded throughout the entire Immortal Spirit Realm in no time. Only after this sound did they realize that the ground beneath their feet was shaking violently.

Before anyone could realize what was happening, the cloud of gray smoke broke through the clouds with unstoppable force, and a crisp cracking sound reached the ears of everyone in the Immortal Spirit Realm.

A massive storm immediately erupted from where the gray cloud had left, sweeping across the entire Immortal Spirit Realm in an instant...

Within the Twin Orchid Realm, Sang Zheng was leading disciples from several major sects and the Demon Race dispatched by the new Demon Emperor to the cordon. Tens of thousands of Devil Race had gathered there. If they did not go to stop them, these powerful Devil Creature from the Upper Realm would likely easily break through the cordon they had set up, plunging the Twin Orchid Realm back into chaos.

But even earlier than the battle between the two sides was the gray cloud of energy that broke through the barrier of the small world and suddenly surged into the Twin Orchid Realm...

In the Black Tortoise Realm, Fu Shuangjiang raised her sword and annihilated a huge demonized Demon Beast. Black blood splattered from the demonized Demon Beast's body, sizzling like hot oil on the ground.

The disciples of Sword Frost Cliff were startled by this scene. "It seems that even the blood of higher-level Demon Beast is dangerous after they become demonized."

Fu Shuangjiang wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.

He looked towards the Hidden Moon Forest not far away. The once lush forest was now covered with fallen leaves, and the dark green leaves had all turned black, giving it an ominous appearance.

"Alright, enough of this useless talk. Let's quickly take care of the remaining demonic Demon Beast. After we're done with Demon Beast, we need to go support our fellow disciples who are fighting against the Devil Race," another disciple whispered to his companion.

The other party nodded in agreement, and pointed his weapon at the demonized Demon Beast charging towards him.

Before the demonic Demon Beast could even get close, a tremendous force burst forth from the Hidden Moon Forest.

A gray cloud, with power from who-knows-where, somehow managed to uproot the entire forest!

"What... what is this thing?!" someone asked in terror.

Standing at the very front, Fu Shuangjiang frowned deeply. He had a vague feeling that this calamity was probably aimed at the entire Lower Realm.
