Translator: 549690339
Lord of the Heavenly Realm!
Jiang Xue had already left, but her indifferent words, the four characters she left behind, shook everyone present once again.
“Lord of the Heavenly Realm… What a revered title!”
“To dare to claim the title of Lord of the Heavenly Realm… Could it be that the reason Xuantian Realm was able to devour the Hundred Worlds was because of his existence?”
“These four characters, they contain great causality… I fear, this terrifying existence truly has ties to the legendary First Heavenly Realm, absolutely so!”
Everyone was shocked.
“It turns out to be the Lord of the Heavenly Realm. It seems that the merger of the Hundred Worlds is just the beginning, and what follows will inevitably involve more unimaginable beings…”
“Ridiculous, we actually dared to contend with Xuantian Realm in front of an existence from ancient times, truly like clowns jumping on the beam.”
Each and every Golden Immortal was feeling even more bitter at this moment.
They thought that the fusion of the Hundred Worlds would be their stage to gallop across, that it would become their world.
Who would have thought, they were but ants!
“Enough, with such a predecessor present, Xuan Tianzhou truly deserves to be the center of the Heavenly Realm. From now on, our Earth Spirit Alliance will never be enemies with Xuan Tianzhou!”
Yue Poshan spoke out, immediately waving his hand and saying, “Back to Earth Spirit State!”
“I, Wu Mingshen, will keep my promise. From this life onward, I will never set foot in Xuan Tianzhou again.”
Wu Mingshen of the Earth Element Alliance bowed first toward the direction Jiang Xue had left, then deeply bowed to Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, saying, “Thankyou, Alliance Leader Qianning, for sparing our lives!”
Mu Qianning shook her head and said, “It was Senior Li’s mercy that spared your lives, valuing peace above all, that is his edict.”
Wu Mingshen nodded deeply, saying, “Wu Mingshen shall not bear arms nor stir up disputes for the rest of my life!”
Having said that, he turned and left, with the likes of Bai Zhentian and Shangguan Zhanyi of the Earth Affinity Alliance following suit.
“Thank you!”
Ning Tianhao of the Earth Wind Alliance expressed his thanks to Mu Qianning, and then immediately embarked on his journey.
“Alliance Leaders Ling’er, Qianning, from now on, our Xuanzi Alliance will follow your lead. Should you issue any commands, we will surely obey!”
“If it’s not too presumptuous, we would like to follow under the banner of the Xuantian Alliance!”
The sole Golden Immortal of the Xuanzi Alliance, Huang Shang, had already died. At this moment, several old Heavenly Immortals stepped forward, showing the utmost respect to Mu Qianning.
After all, to survive in the Heavenly Realm, one must stick together. Now that their only Golden Immortal was dead, they were in an absolute disadvantage, and turning to the Xuantian Alliance was the best choice.
“Miss Qianning, why not absorb the Xuanzi Alliance into the Xuantian Alliance to further strengthen our forces?”
At this time, Yuanyang Holy Lord whispered to Mu Qianning.
Fire Spirit also said, “That would be best, also preventing them from being devoured by the other Three Great Alliances.”
Mu Qianning pondered for a moment and then replied, “Good, from this day forward, you shall heed the commands of the Xuantian Alliance!”
Upon hearing this, the old Heavenly Immortals were overjoyed.
“Thankyou, Alliance Hierarch!”
They spoke up directly, saying, “We shall take our leave first. Should the Alliance Hierarch issue any commands, we will certainly obey!”
With that, they, too, departed.
The people from the Four Great Alliances had all left.
Outside of Taiyan Holy Land, quietness was restored.
“I did not expect that such a calamity would be quelled just like that.”
Saint Lord Lingchao voiced with some emotion.
This was a strife that swept across the entire Heavenly Realm, with the Hundred States rising together and alliances waging war… If it weren’t for Senior Li’s edict, the war would likely have continued for hundreds of years!
After all, it would be too difficult for the Four Great Alliances to determine a winner.
By then, the creatures of the Hundred States of Heaven would be embroiled in it.
And Xuan Tianzhou would be the first to bear the brunt, likely leading to the slaughter of all its existing creatures.
“Senior Li is magnanimous at heart, otherwise, when the Hundred Worlds merged, with a single thought, he could have annihilated the other billions of creatures.”
Fire Spirit spoke indifferently, saying, “From today onward, the Heavenly Realm may be at peace!”
Mu Qianning also nodded, saying, “That would be nice!”
The warships in the sky all returned to Taiyan Holy Land.
“Alliance Hierarchs, there is an elder seeking an audience with you!”
Just as they had returned to the great hall, suddenly someone outside reported, saying, “He claims to be from Huangtian State and has urgent matters!”
Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning showed a hint of curiosity.
“Please.”
Fire Spirit spoke.
Shortly after, an old man walked in from the mountain gate, his clothes ragged as if he were a beggar, but his presence was also quite extraordinary.
Just as he stepped into the great hall, his excitement was palpable, and he exclaimed, “I pay my respects to both Alliance Hierarchs!”
“Senior, please rise,”
Fire Spirit said, “Senior has come here for what important matter?”
They had already recognized that this elder was indeed the person who had asked Jiang Xue for Senior Li’s honorific before her departure!
“Both Alliance Hierarchs, I am from Huangtian State, named Ji Yuanqing. The reason I come is because… because of a matter of utmost importance!”
As he spoke, he glanced toward the Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others present.
“Everyone here can be trusted, you may speak freely.”
Fire Spirit noticed Ji Yuanqing’s hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing nodded and said, “Both Alliance Hierarchs, have you ever heard of the ‘First Heavenly Realm’?”
The First Heavenly Realm!
Both Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning shook their heads blankly.
“The First Heavenly Realm?”
Dugu Chenlu then spoke up, “Are you referring to the legendary First Heavenly Realm that once waged a great war against the Immortal Domain?”
Ji Yuanqing nodded and replied, “Exactly!”
“Dugu Family Patriarch, you know of it?” Mu Qianning inquired.
Dugu Chenlu nodded and said, “I’ve heard some legends… the million Lower Worlds are divided into ‘Heaven,’ ‘Earth,’ ‘Mysterious,’ and ‘Yellow’ four tiers, with many realms belonging to the Mysterious and Yellow Character Realms. The Earth Character Realm is much rarer, with only a handful among the hundreds of Lower Worlds…”
“As for the Heavenly Realm, it’s even more rare as a phoenix feather or unicorn horn. Out of the million Lower Worlds, only four Heavenly Realms have emerged!”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned solemn!
The million Lower Worlds… but only Four Great Heavenly Realms!
What sort of ratio was this?
From the ratio alone, one could glimpse the special nature of the Heavenly Realms.
“And among the Four Great Heavenly Realms, legend has it that each had the power to challenge the Immortal Domain… Later, it was said that there was a great war, with the Immortal Domain striking against the Four Great Heavenly Realms. Three of the Heavenly Realms submitted to the Immortal Domain, and only the First Heavenly Realm fought to the death without surrendering…”
Dugu Chenlu said, “Eventually, the First Heavenly Realm was destroyed, and the so-called supreme beings were all killed.”
Everyone revealed a look of yearning.
A Lower World that could challenge the Immortal Domain…
But in the end, it was completely annihilated…
“The legend indeed speaks this way.”
Ji Yuanqing also nodded and said, “However, the First Heavenly Realm wasn’t truly destroyed in its entirety!”
“Instead, it was shattered into many small realms!”
He spoke with great emphasis, “And these small realms, in their naming, will carry the words ‘Heavenly Realm’ to commemorate their former glory!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked!
“What? It’s actually like this?”
“If this is true, doesn’t it mean that Xuantian Realm… could very possibly be a part of the First Heavenly Realm?”
They were all taken aback.
“Indeed so.”
Ji Yuanqing confirmed, “I come from Huangtian Realm, and my ancestors, it seems, knew much about the First Heavenly Realm, hence they left behind many historical records… and my ancestors have confirmed that Huangtian Realm is also part of the First Heavenly Realm!”
“Now, the Hundred Worlds have been devoured by Xuantian Realm, and furthermore, the new world has been named as a Heavenly Realm… thus, I am nearly certain that Xuantian Realm originally must have belonged to the First Heavenly Realm, and moreover, might have been a very important domain within it!”
“And that senior from the Southern Territory… might just be the person my ancestors have been desperately searching for!”
As Ji Yuanqing spoke, his eyes showed increasing excitement, and he said, “Therefore, I wish to meet this senior!”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianning and the others were visibly shaken!
Xuantian Realm, to actually be a part of the First Heavenly Realm?
This was almost too incredible…
And Ji Yuanqing’s explanation for Li Fan’s identity left Yuanyang Holy Lord, Mu Qianning, and others feeling it was unbelievable.
“It’s very possible indeed… This could explain why Senior Li, such an extraordinary figure, would choose to live in seclusion within the humble Xuantian Realm…”
The Yuanyang Holy Lord murmured, his expression extremely grave.
“If so, the grand scheme laid out by Senior Li is too terrifying… It concerns the First Heavenly Realm of the ancient era and even involves the Immortal Domain… This is a grand scheme for all of eternity!”
Dugu Chenin’s eyes shone brightly, his heart surging with emotion!
“If… Senior Li truly is the person that Ji Senior’s ancestor has been searching for, and is indeed related to the so-called First Heavenly Realm… then isn’t he, an ancient and everlasting creature?”
Mu Qianning suddenly spoke up, her beautiful eyes filled with complicated emotions!
