Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 1346, You owe me a lot 

“It succeeded?” The Ferryman of the Netherworld was astonished by this scene. 

As a living being raised by heaven and earth, it was rare to see him lose self-control like this. But seeing Ye Qingyu as well as Liu Shaji come out of the island of the land of extreme death at the same time, even if he was psychologically prepared beforehand, he still couldn't help but exclaim out loud. It was clear that the Great Imperial Emperor’s control of the way of rebirth had already exceeded the instinct of life. 

Ye Qingyu was glowing all over, treading across the water of the yellow spring in the direction of the Ferryman of the Netherworld with Liu Shaji. 

“It's not exactly a success.” Ye Qingyu shook his head. 

Although he had mastered the power of rebirth, he couldn’t really reverse life and death. With the previous preparation, and coupled with the nurturing of the World Tree, Liu Shaji had already formed a body of flesh and blood, which looked exactly the same as he was before. This was why he could be rapidly resurrected. However, this resurrection was not a complete rebirth. Ye Qingyu found that Liu Shaji's present appearance, state and even strength were exactly the same as it was back then, but his memory was incomplete. He did not recognize Ye Qingyu and was situated in a state of confusion. 

After listening to Ye Qingyu's description, the Ferryman of the Netherworld went into deep thought. 

He offered to check Liu Shaji’s condition. 

Liu Shaji gave a slight frown. 

After his rebirth, he was in a state of confusion and extremely repulsive to everything of the outside world. It was only from Ye Qingyu's body that Liu Shaji felt a close strength that he could trust. He instinctively and unconditionally trusted Ye Qingyu, and so after a short hesitation, his eyes shifted to Ye Qingyu. 

Ye Qingyu hesitated for a moment, and after a simple exchange with Liu Shaji, agreed to the Ferryman of the Netherworld’s request, because in these years, most of the time, it was the Ferryman of the Netherworld who took care of Liu Shaji's little tree of life. He should have the greatest understanding of the situation. Moreover, the Ferryman of the Netherworld was born with a remarkable ability regarding the soul of life and death, and may perhaps discover something. 

A moment later. 

The Ferryman of the Netherworld breathed a long sigh of relief.

“According to Your Majesty's description and my observation, the problem isn’t big. We just need to let him return to some familiar places, contact with some old friends, and he should be able to find his lost memory. At that time, Liu Shaji will be the same Liu Shaji. After all, after this rebirth, his soul and spirit are complete, and exactly the same as the past.”

This was the conclusion the Ferryman of the Netherworld came to. 

Ye Qingyu nodded, as it was the same conclusion that he had reached.

Thus, he felt less worried about Liu Shaji's situation. 

……

……

A day later. 

The Divine Hall of the Immortal Dojo. 

“Heavens, he's really alive?” 

Old Fish looked at Liu Shaji with great astonishment, his mouth wide enough for a duck egg to be stuffed in. 

Everybody could tell that the old man was extremely excited, extremely emotional, but still forcibly held back. He burst into loud laughter, patting Liu Shaji's shoulder, “Well, well, it's good that you're back... You brat, still owe me a few drinks... I thought you were dead, and poured several jars of your favourite origin crystal wine over your grave. Now that I think about it, it really is a waste. You have to compensate me.” 

Liu Shaji looked at Old Fish with a puzzled gaze. He knew that he should be a good friend of his before his resurrection. 

“Uncle Liu...” 

“Great... Uncle Liu, you've finally come alive.”

“Uncle Liu, we miss you so much.” 

Bai Yuanxing, Jin Ling’er and the other two hundred young girls and boys who Liu Shaji had sacrificed his life to save were all moved to tears.  

They were all already top Quasi-emperor experts, and among them, Bai Yuanxing and Jin Ling'er had already broken through into the Martial Emperor realm because they had obtained the blood of the ancient gods. These elite disciples, who were all calm and steady influential figures under the Imperial God Emperor, and rarely show their feelings on their face, were all appointed to oversee different star domains of the Vast Thousand Star Domains. However, at this time, they were all unable to control their emotions. Several girls even had tears streaming down their beautiful faces. If others were to see this, their eyes would definitely pop out from shock.

Of course, the crying was because of excitement and joy. 

Back then, Liu Shaji risked his life to save them, and thus his sacrifice would be remembered forever. He was like a second parent to them. 

“Woof, I heard that Little Chicken is back?” With a flash of lightning, a machine dog wearing an alloy amour rushed in, swiftly circled around Liu Shaji a few laps, exclaiming, “Exactly the same... it is really you? What is that expression? Don't you remember woof? We're good friends...” 

Liu Shaji looked at the dog with a puzzled expression, a seemingly familiar feeling inside.

“What's the matter? No way? You really don't remember woof?” Little Nine shook his body, while the silver alloy armour automatically faded into a necklace and appeared around his neck, revealing his white fluffy fur. He proudly shook his head and tail, “It's me, the invincible Little Nine...” 

On one side, Bai Yuanxing hurriedly explained to Little Nine about Liu Shaji's situation. 

“Huh? Amnesia? Really?” Little Nine looked astonished at Liu Shaji. 

Liu Shaji nodded. He had nothing to hide regarding his present condition. 

“Hahaha, I see.” Little Nine rolled his eyes, “Little chicken, do you remember that you still owe me a lot of things. An Emperor weapon, ten jars of imperial wine, and hundreds of Quasi-emperor soldiers, and countless food, and...” Little Nine said everything in one breath and was ready to continue.

Ye Qingyu's face darkened. 

Bai Yuanxing and the others didn't know whether to cry or laugh. 

A dog really won’t change.  

“Really? I've forgotten, so it doesn't count.” Liu Shaji replied indifferently. “What's more, even if I remember I cannot afford these things.” 

He had amnesia, and not dementia, how could he not see through the little white dog's tricks.

Little Nine frowned with disappointment.

Ye Qingyu felt much more at ease when he saw that Liu Shaji gradually began to adapt to his new state. 

For the next period of time, Bai Yuanxing, Jin Ling'er and the others were responsible for taking Liu Shaji to Clear River Domain, to visit some familiar places of the past and visit some of his old friends who were still alive, hoping that he could find the memory of the past. 

Ye Qingyu spent some time patrolling the Vast Thousand Star Domains and the Dark Realm. 

Over time, the cosmic protective power of the world had weakened, some space-time gaps gradually widened, which indicates that the Vast Thousand Star Domains had gradually begun to be exposed to the dark forest-like universe. The invasion and threat of Space-Time Fiendgod Sovereigns were gradually changing from possible to inevitable. 

The time for the entire Vast Thousand Star Domains to prepare was becoming less and less.

And under the direction of the light brain [The Beginning], the preparation of the Vast Thousand Star Domains had been methodically increased. 

In particular, following the development and ascension of the undeveloped star domains, the strength of the Vast Thousand Star Domains also increased, and so did the power of Ye Qingyu.

And west of the great wall in the Dark Realm, in the area of chaos, the Invaders had begun to riot. The number of Invaders and average combat power were also rising. The military began to feel the pressure. 

After a month, Ye Qingyu returned to the Immortal Dojo. 

While patrolling, Ye Qingyu had been trying to integrate with the destiny of the Vast Thousand Domains and the Underworld, but the progress was slower than expected. 

Eventually, he decided to go to the Underworld again.  

Moreover, he decided to bring Great Emperor Xiaofei and Empress Shui Xiu to the Underworld Star Domain, let them again cultivate Underworld Emperor strength in the Underworld Star Domain, and then fuse with the last remaining Underworld destiny in the [Cloud Top Cauldron]. The reason for choosing these two people was because Li Xiaofei was the strongest person after Ye Qingyu, and Empress Shui Xiu had mastered the power of the Nanming Fire, which is connected to the underworld power. As for Song Xiaojun and the others, Ye Qingyu had other arrangements. 

After Li Xiaofei and Shui Xiu were exposed to the aura of the Underworld power in the [Cloud Top Cauldron], Ye Qingyu brought them to the Ancient Fiendgod City in the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss and passed through the black space-time tombstone passage and came to the Underworld Star Domain. 

Ye Qingyu found a good place for them to practice in the Underworld Star Domain, so that the two Emperor experts can practice the power of the underworld in secret. 

While Ye Qingyu began to understand the origin power of the Underworld Star Domain, and attempted to integrate the destiny of the two great star domains in such an environment.

As expected, unlike in the Vast Thousand Star Domains, Ye Qingyu made some special progress.

He found that the power of the Dao and laws of this star domain were very similar to the so-called ghost world where the Nameless Emperor and others planted a World Tree. 

“What would happen if the Underworld Star Domain was combined with the Ghost World?”

Ye Qingyu thought of the role of the Dark Realm to the Vast Thousand Domains. He felt that if the Ghost World was placed in the periphery of the Underworld Star Domain, perhaps some wonderful changes would happen. Then, if the Vast Thousand Star Domains could be directly linked with the Underworld Star Domain, just like yin and yang, or let the Vast Thousand Star Domains become the world of the living and the Underworld Star Domain become the nether world, would it allow him to integrate the destiny of the two star domains and finally take that step?  

He began to calculate and assess. 

Eventually, two years later, Ye Qingyu concluded that such an attempt could be made.  

And it was also at this time that Ye Qingyu suffered an attack from three top Emperor experts in the Underworld Star Domain. It was obvious that the three great Underworld Emperors had detected the destiny power on Ye Qingyu, and sensed the arrival of an opportunity. If they killed Ye Qingyu, then they could obtain the Underworld destiny on Ye Qingyu's body, which could help them step out of the bottleneck that had troubled them for years. 

However, they miscalculated. 

Ye Qingyu's strong invincibility made their plan fail, and in the end, the three great top Emperor experts all perished.

Ye Qingyu, on the other hand, tried to make his speculation a reality.  

What he needed to do first was to alter the star formations of the Vast Thousand Star Domains and the Underworld Star Domain.
