Chapter 506: Chapter 374: The Gate of the Divine Realm
The Heavenly Emperor relinquished his throne!
The news spread across Dongsheng Divine Continent like a storm.
The first Heavenly Emperor, who had reigned over the Divine Continent for four millennia, had a prestige that could be said to be unprecedented, surpassing the returned void immortals by a thousandfold!
The billions of creatures in the Divine Continent worshipped him as their faith, so upon hearing the news of his abdication, they were all overcome with grief. Among them, many supporters immediately immolated themselves, demonstrating their piety.
There were countless petitions, hoping Yuanding would retake control of the Heavenly Court.
The newly enthroned Empress also came under attack, being labelled disloyal, unfilial, a harbinger of chaos, a rebel, and so on.
The gods of the Sui Division scurried about everywhere, arresting those who violated the heavenly precepts, and throwing them into the heavenly prison to await trial.
At this time.
Heavenly Mountain.
Main hall of the Severing Heaven Sect.
Zhou Yi sat cross-legged, before him stood a massive tree a hundred feet tall, the Jianmu.
With a gesture of a spell, millennia of lifespan crystallized and merged into the tree to hasten its maturation. He exhausted his mana after casting the spell dozens of times in a row.
He waved his hand to bring over a Spirit Pill from beside him, swallowed it, refined it into mana, and continued to cast the Jade Dew Art.
This Spirit Pill came from the sect’s treasure vault. Zhou Yi had always been fair, having exhausted resources from the Severing Heaven Sect and Buddhism, how could he forget the Severing Heaven Sect!@@@@
A buffalo lay beside him, and the Spirit Ginseng doll was sitting cross-legged on the buffalo’s head, staring blankly at the Jianmu as it grew.
The Spirit Ginseng doll, long-lived and possessing the Heart of a Newborn, might appear somewhat foolish to ordinary people, but in reality, they were two disparate species with different ways of acting and handling matters.
Even if it foolishly watched for a thousand years, as long as the Jianmu continued to grow, the Spirit Ginseng doll found it amusing!
That’s when
a messenger light flew in, and upon receiving it, Zhou Yi saw it was a message from Yang Xuan.
——The heavenly prison is overcrowded, how should we proceed?
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment and replied, “Execute some, capture some, release some!”
“What is there to fear? If it truly can’t be contained, there’s still the Immortal Realm above us to hold the line. It’s not as if they can just reap the benefits without taking responsibility.”
Zhou Yi looked up at the sky. “The old Heavenly Emperor also seems to be growing impatient, or else he would not have made such a move, pinning this black pot on my head. Now I’ve got enough merits to open a cattle ranch!”
Moo!
The buffalo felt that this description was quite bizarre, worrying that involvement with the gods might bring unexpected dangers.
“No matter.”
As Zhou Yi spoke, he did not forget to continue casting the Jade Dew Art to hasten the maturation of the Jianmu.
“Time will heal everything!”
The turmoil caused by the Yuanding faith, the unknowns brought by connecting to the Divine Realm, what the Heavenly Court will become, and even the resentment between this world and the Immortal Realm, and so on, the karmic cycle...
As the long years passed, all would eventually dissipate like smoke!
...
Heavenly Court.
Heavenly Pond.
Yuanding sat by the pond, fishing leisurely and unhurriedly.
The water was long devoid of life, not even a common carp to be seen. Compared to the bustling scene of the past, it now seemed incredibly desolate and lonely.
Suddenly,
an old voice came through.
“A new emperor brings a new court, as it is with worldly dynasties, so it is with the Heavenly Court!”
Without looking back, Yuanding said, “Have you made your peace with it, my friend?”
The elder was silent for a long while, then slowly said, “This old one only wishes to continue living. What is wrong with that? There is nothing wrong!”
“Of course.”
A trace of mockery appeared on Yuanding’s face. These ageing True Gods, with no means of breaking through to the next realm, were adamant in their desire to prolong life, to continue living.
Immortal Tao values life—every cultivator is told that the pursuit of cultivation is the pursuit of prolonged life and immortality!
The elder asked, “Now, my friend, tell me, what exactly should we do?”
