Chapter 2889: The Return

The changes between heaven and earth began with the Original Realm.

This was a prophecy from a long time ago, and now it seemed to be coming true.

The land of the Original Realm ushered in the great changes in the world, and the Gods’ Ruins Continent revealed itself.

In the land of the Original Realm, an extraordinary character had risen and become the current Heavenly Emperor.

Now, this prophecy was spreading throughout the land of the seven realms once again, and there was even some more indication as to what might be the ultimate end of this prophecy.

According to the news and the rumors, Ye Futian of the Original Realm ascended the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. He would soon elevate his cultivation to the utmost level. He would change this sky above them and become a supreme existence in this world.

This was the prophecy in its entirety.

The changes of heaven and earth begin in the Original Realm.

This prophecy circulated widely, and its influence was stronger than any other prophecies in the past. The world was seeing this prophecy being fulfilled little by little.

Everyone was paying close attention to the reactions of those major Imperial Palaces.

However, these major Imperial Palaces were surprisingly quiet and did not do anything. It was as if they were caught in a dilemma.

Not long ago, in the battle of the six emperors, many thought that it would end the way the world was and reshape the future pattern of the world by putting an end to a previous era. However, what they didn’t expect was that the era did not end but had merely moved in a different direction. This change was quite unexpected.

Today, the Divine Prefecture and the Buddhist Sect had joined forces. In addition, Ye Futian, who had inherited the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, was unprecedentedly powerful. He was stronger than Emperor Ye Qing during his reign.

And this time, there was discord between the Human Realm and other forces. On the other hand, the Devil World, the Dark World, and the Empty Divine Realm had seen that the Human Realm had concealed its depth and was no longer trustworthy. They would not be acting rashly, for they knew that the Human Ancestor was not any less of a threat than Donghuang the Great.

Therefore, no one dared to act recklessly. Hence, a very odd situation emerged. All sides remained surprisingly quiet.

At the same time, the ninety-ninth heaven at the Heavenly Imperial Palace began to rebuild its order.

Donghuang the Great arrived with the cultivators of the Imperial Palace in the Divine Prefecture, opening up the passageway between Donghuang Imperial Palace and Heavenly Imperial Palace. He had also ordered the rebuilding of the ninety-nine heavens, quietly working for Ye Futian behind the scenes so that Ye Futian could concentrate on cultivation with nothing to worry about.

It was the first time that the Donghuang Imperial Palace cultivators had seen Donghuang the Great personally handling these matters, and they couldn’t help but feel amazed.

Clearly, the Great Emperor must have had a lot of guilt towards Ye Futian, so this was the way for him to make amends. After all, Ye Futian had been abandoned at birth and experienced many hardships until he got to this point. He suffered Ye Futian’s strike in Donghuang Imperial Palace because he obviously felt extremely guilty about the whole thing.

At the same time, Donghuang the Great forged a Revelation Divine Matrix in the ninety-ninth heaven. As a result, the ninety-ninth heaven now possessed a certain level of defense.

In addition, he had sent the cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace here, having them cultivate in the ninety-nine heavens.

Everyone from Ye Imperial Palace were cultivators who had followed Ye Futian for a very long time. Now that Ye Futian reigned as the Heavenly Emperor in the Heaven Realm, it was only natural for them to follow him here. In addition, he intended to open up the passageway between the Heaven Realm and Ziwei Segmentum so that the cultivators from Ziwei Segmentum may also enter the Heaven Realm to cultivate and continue to follow in Ye Futian’s footsteps.

Time passed day by day, and it didn’t take long for the ninety-nine heavens to take on a new look. Celestial palaces and pavilions were everywhere, as well as various cultivation courts that were scattered in different places within the ninety-nine heavens.

In the heyday of the Heaven Realm, when the Heavenly Emperor was in charge of the Heavenly Imperial Palace, the palace was filled with numerous cultivators who were everywhere in the ninety-nine heavens; it was as if they were in a world of their own.

But after the fall of the Heaven Realm, the number of people in the Heavenly Imperial Palace shrank sharply, and the ninety-nine heavens seemed quite empty. It was not until this piece of the Heavenly Path appeared that countless cultivators were attracted to the ninety-nine heavens. However, these were just people who came here to cultivate, not cultivators who belonged to the Heavenly Imperial Palace, so they did not really count.

Now, everything had to start over again.

…

Above the ninety-nine heavens, the Heavenly Imperial Palace had been rebuilt, and it was extremely grand and magnificent. Donghuang the Great himself watched over everything.

At the same time, the core members of Ye Imperial Palace were all here, comprehending the Heavenly Path and cultivating.

Donghuang the Great raised his head and saw that Ye Futian was still cultivating high above the sky, so he did not disturb him. He came here to do those things so that Ye Futian could cultivate in peace. For Ye Futian, cultivation was more important than anything else right now.

“Your Majesty.” At this moment, a voice was heard behind Donghuang the Great.

“Qin!” Donghuang the Great called out.

“What will the young master do with the Heavenly Path that was transformed by the Princess?” Qin asked.

“I don’t know.” Donghuang the Great shook his head.

When she heard his answer, Qin frowned slightly and said, “Your Majesty, the young master is already exposed. Although nothing seems to be happening now, things may be brewing behind the scenes, which is very dangerous for him. The Devil Emperor, the Dark Sovereign, and the Evil Emperor didn’t know some of the things that happened back then. Can what happened be made public now?”

Back then, they had their concerns and were reluctant to speak up, worried that the others would destroy the Divine Prefecture no matter the cost. However, now that friends and foes couldn’t be more clear, there was no turning back. In the end, only one side could exist in the world. At a time like this, it was best to win over as many allies as possible.

“As part of the six emperors in charge of the order of the world, they can’t be that ignorant, but they all had their own concerns. They knew very well who they could provoke and who could not be touched,” Donghuang the Great responded.

“Your Majesty meant that they have always been aware of it?” Qin said.

“Even if they were not fully aware, they were not completely ignorant either,” Donghuang the Great replied. “What’s more, they have been working diligently to improve their own strength during the peacefulness these past few hundred years. However, this time, the Human Ancestor was a little too impatient.”

“Your Majesty is referring to when the Human Ancestor made his move against the Dark Sovereign?” Qin asked.

“Mmm.” Donghuang the Great nodded. “The six emperors in the world created a balance, and all of them are willing to maintain this balance. But if there is anything that will threaten everyone’s existence, they will not hesitate to obliterate it. The reason behind the action this time is not so innocuous. Each of them has their own interests to consider. However, the Human Ancestor’s attack on the Dark Sovereign exposed the Human Ancestor’s intention to slay the Dark Sovereign. Thus, the Human Ancestor made himself the real enemy.”

Qin nodded slightly. Obviously, each of the six emperors had their own plan, and none of them were the benevolent sort.

“However, I should make a visit to the outside,” said Donghuang the Great. He then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. Many phantoms separated from him, turning into three phantasmic Donghuang the Greats. They left the ninety-nine heavens at the same time.

He meant to visit the Devil World, the Dark World, and the Evil Emperor Realm to meet the three Great Emperors on their own turf.

Donghuang the Great knew very well that the Human Ancestor was the biggest threat of them all; he was the real mortal enemy.

At the same time, outside of this world, in the Human Realm in the Human Divine Palace.

A figure sat cross-legged in the boundless space, and there was only one man there. It was none other than the Human Ancestor himself.

At this time, above the firmament, the sky seemed to be moving as strands of terrifying aura fell from it. Above that slice of heaven, a pair of eyes seemed to appear, as breathtaking as they were frightening.

When these eyes opened, beams of light shot out from above the sky, which turned out to be shadows of people, falling from the firmament, standing between this heaven and earth. Their unparalleled auras confirmed that all of them were extraordinary Great Emperors.

After they came to this world, they looked around at this vast world.

They had returned!
