Ying Zheng emerged.
The gods made way.
Gods of the Heavenly Court mobilized the Order of the Heavenly Court, vanishing before Qin Wushi’s presence.
In the next instant.
Ying Zheng, with the Order of the Yanhuang Heavenly Court, descended before Qin Wushi, and with a smile at the latter’s disheveled appearance, he asked, "I didn’t come too late, did I?!"
Qin Wushi shook his head: "Not at all! Those guys, upon hearing the teacher’s renown, all fled in terror, and even after a hundred thousand years, it still chills their bones."
When Ying Zheng heard Qin Wushi speak of another Ying Zheng, his heart felt odd, filled with pride, envy, more envy, and also defiance!
If I had had the same opportunities as him back then, I would have achieved far greater heights.
"He is indeed powerful, but now, it is my turn to reign supreme!"
Ying Zheng looked in the direction of the Primordial Heavenly Court, a chilling sneer forming on his face. He could clearly sense the many contingencies Ying Zheng had laid before transcending beyond Primordial Chaos.
Once those contingencies were activated, the Yanhuang Heavenly Court and the Yanhuang Empire would make substantial leaps in a short time.
Only then would they be truly capable of competing with the Primordial Heavenly Court.
"Are we preparing to confront the Heavenly Court?" Qin Wushi asked.
"Of course!" Ying Zheng nodded, "The horn of rebellion against the Heavenly Court has already been sounded. I shall lead the forces of the Yanhuang Heavenly Court and the Empire in search of fortunes!"
"Would you be willing to help me invite more allies to join us?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wushi smiled faintly: "No problem at all. I’ve been disgruntled with the Heavenly Court for a while now. With you leading the way, I will naturally follow!"
"In that case!" Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Then let’s set off!" After speaking, he activated the Order of the Yanhuang Heavenly Court, connecting to the Three Thousand Great Dao and opening a great pathway, taking the people of the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds, the Yanhuang Heavenly Court, and the Empire to a mysterious region—a fortune left behind before Ying Zheng’s transcendence.
"I should make a move as well!" After Ying Zheng departed, Qin Wushi also set forth, leaving this expanse of the Void and began to traverse through All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, gathering those who rebelled against the Heavenly Court to form an Alliance, continuing the resistance against the Heavenly Court’s forces.
In the Primordial Heavenly Realm.
Heavenly Realm.
The Jade Emperor’s face was as somber as water, his aura violent, on the verge of eruption.
On his right, the Queen Mother’s expression was equally dark and gloomy, her presence exuding a deadly intent, while other gods showed expressions of shock and anger.
"Damn it, that person really is Ying Zheng, he has truly returned!"
"Gouchen, Longevity, Qing Hua... and others have fled before the battle, is this... due to Ying Zheng’s strength, or their cowardice?"
"Even if Ying Zheng is strong, he should not have retreated without a fight! No matter how strong he is, he cannot surpass the limits of this world!"
"Retreating without a battle, what a disgrace!"
"Your Majesty, give the order! Ying Zheng has started to gather forces; we must cripple or annihilate his power soon, or it will be an endless threat!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, either go all out or surrender early!"
"..."
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, facing the gods’ call to battle, were silent with grim faces.
They contemplated continuously in their minds, but even after a long while, they came up with nothing.
The two exchanged glances and stood up in unison, saying, "Wait here, we’ll consult the Hong Meng Sealing God List at the Jade Emperor’s place and then decide."
After finishing their words, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother stepped out and vanished from the Palace of the Polestar, entering the special area where the Jade Emperor resides.
There, the Jade Emperor sat motionless on the Dragon Chair, like a statue, unmoving even as the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother approached.
In front of him was a scroll, radiating dazzling golden light, the foundation upon which the Heavenly Court stands—the Hong Meng Sealing God List.
"Jade Emperor, we both wish to use the Hong Meng Sealing God List to divine the future, may we?" The Jade Emperor approached the Jade Emperor, bowed, and made the request.
The Jade Emperor remained expressionless, sitting atop the Dragon Chair, neither agreeing nor denying.
"This..."
The Jade Emperor was baffled, unsure of the Jade Emperor’s intentions.
"Why not try to take the Sealing God List?" The Queen Mother was also puzzled by the Jade Emperor’s intent, but she was more proactive, thinking that the Jade Emperor’s silence was consent.
"Alright then!~" The Jade Emperor nodded upon hearing this. With the Jade Emperor remaining silent, he could only attempt to take the Hong Meng Sealing God List.
Whoosh!
The Jade Emperor took a deep breath, stepped towards the golden-lit Hong Meng Sealing God List, and channelled the endless Heavenly Dao Order Chains into it.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the Hong Meng Sealing God List vibrated, endless Order Chains shot forth, intertwined in the Void, forming a Void Gate right before the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
"We did it!"
Surprise gleamed on the faces of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, who then stepped into it, entering into a strange space.
"What shall we do?"
The Queen Mother looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, puzzled.
"Join forces!" The Jade Emperor said gravely, "Use the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress Dao Fruit of the Jiao River to draw upon that strand of Dao Fruit within the Hong Meng Sealing God List!"
"This might incur the Jade Emperor’s dissatisfaction, and then our situation will be dangerous!" The Queen Mother thought of their superior, the Jade Emperor, and worry arose on her face.
The Jade Emperor said, "We don’t need to pry into the future, just to ascertain the true strength of Ying Zheng and his group. In this way, even if the Jade Emperor finds out, he won’t do anything to us!"
"Alright!" The Queen Mother was persuaded by the Jade Emperor and took a deep breath before sitting down cross-legged.
Seeing this, the Jade Emperor sat down on the ground similarly, activating the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit and stirring an infinite web of Order Chains with the Tao Rules emanating from the Hong Meng Sealing God List.
