The heavens began from a small hell

"The Imperial Court resides in the heavens, eternally existing, unchanging through reincarnation, ruling over all realms and myriad paths..."

A majestic and deep male voice echoed along the 'path' opened by the Supreme Being, reaching every realm and ensuring that it reached the ears of all immortal king-level beings with perfect accuracy.

This is Gu Qing announcing the existence of the Imperial Court to all worlds, and at the same time inviting powerful figures from all walks of life to attend the ceremony and pay homage.

The reason why those below the Immortal King level cannot hear it is that cultivators and evolvers who are not even Immortal Kings simply do not have the ability to reach the heavens on their own.

Only by overcoming all the tribulations of the heavens and becoming a Celestial King can one hear the words that Gu Qing, with the power of Luo, has inscribed in all the myriad realms of the heavens.

The original discussion within the Imperial Court was to directly announce the existence of the Imperial Court to all living beings in all worlds, but after several discussions, they ultimately decided not to spread the name of the Imperial Court to the weaker ones.

One of the core tenets of this argument is the cultivation of exceptional talent, since even the most narrow-minded person can develop an invincible spirit.

With careful refinement, even a narrow-minded person with a limited perspective can have the potential to succeed if their spirit isn't crushed by the realities of the world.

If these exceptional talents were to one day become the supreme beings of the heavens, and if they accumulated enough experience, their chances of achieving the path of sacrifice would be slightly higher than others.

The ultimate path to sublimation is related not only to the accumulation of spiritual cultivation but also to the will of the mind, which is no secret within the core of the Imperial Court.

Upon learning of this, Luo and Meng Hai would occasionally lament the cruel twists of fate and how fleeting opportunities can be. The moment they became supreme beings, neither of them doubted that they were the strongest and most invincible.

Even if there were other supreme beings in the heavens, they would be surpassed sooner or later in the eyes of the two at that time.

But the longer one lives and the more one sees, the more one understands one's own position in the highest realm, and one's original ambition gradually fades away with the passage of time.

Once one has accumulated enough cultivation, it is difficult to recapture the ambition one had when one first became the supreme being. In terms of strength, one is naturally stronger now, but the success rate of reaching the end of the path and sublimating is not necessarily higher than before.

For many years, Luo and Menghai have shouldered everything from the heavens. Unless the strange race truly destroys the heavens completely, leaving not a single spark, it will be difficult for Luo and Menghai to adopt a reckless and all-or-nothing attitude.

Of all the priests throughout history, Jiang Luoshen is an exception... She did not reappear in the void after the Great Dao was burned away by sheer willpower, but rather achieved the overflowing of water by relying on the more profound Dao of the 'Upper Realm'.

If it weren't for the Dao that shouldn't exist in the 'Upper Realm', even if Jiang Luoshen could master all the Great Daos and all the paths of evolution in all worlds, she could only be the supreme being of all heavens.

"The Imperial Court..."

Gu Qing's voice rang out several times in a row, and then Luo withdrew his power, and the 'path' leading to all the immortal king-level beings in all worlds collapsed.

This 'path' is not a spatial passage; its only function is to allow Gu Qing's voice to be transmitted. Otherwise, even with the power of a Dao Ancestor-level God Lord, it would be impossible to transmit the voice to a designated target in multiple heavens and myriad worlds.

Although Luo and Menghai joined the Imperial Court, their status was no higher than that of the Imperial Court's several God Lords. Despite being the highest beings in the heavens, capable of crushing Dao Ancestor-level beings with a single finger, their influence was sometimes less than that of Gu Qing and the others.

Luo and Lin Nuoyi have a very good relationship, and if you really want to talk about it, they even have a history with Lin Yang, so the one who is really at the bottom is Meng Hai.

Several deities had discussed privately why Meng Hai would voluntarily join the Imperial Court, knowing that he would not gain supreme power after joining.

There is still no clear answer to this matter, and no god-king is foolish enough to ask a supreme being what your intentions are in joining the Imperial Court.

Is it just because the old scenes are reappearing?

This is obviously impossible.

While the highest beings of the heavens cannot recreate an era of the heavens, reflecting a certain region of the heavens is not a problem.

Given that a Celestial King-level being can traverse every star region of a universe in a short time, it would probably take tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years to travel to any particular region of the heavens.

This is under the condition that everything is calm and there are no disasters or calamities; otherwise, the time required would be dozens or hundreds of times longer.

As the supreme being capable of reflecting such a vast region, Menghai can completely discard irrelevant things and only reflect the people and things it cares about most.

"Why is that?"

Gu Qing shook his head, unable to discern the thoughts in the heart of a supreme being.

Even though his combat strength was already quite formidable among Dao Ancestor-level beings, and his sacrificial battle techniques made him virtually invincible, there was still a significant difference between him and a true Dao Ancestor-level being. The difference between experiencing countless ages with the strength of an Immortal King and experiencing countless ages with the strength of a Dao Ancestor…

The experiences and insights accumulated are different.

The Dao Ancestor, who has survived from ancient times, might be able to guess Meng Hai's thoughts, but the gods of the Imperial Court are still lacking in this regard.

……

The Desolate Secret Realm, the Perfect Heavenly Court.

"The Imperial Court..."

Upon hearing the solemn voice beside them, the expressions of the many powerful figures in the Heavenly Court changed...

It mainly consists of Celestial Kings and those weaker than them.

Many powerful figures were enraged and couldn't help but roar, "You really dare? You really dare!"

"How dare a newcomer usurp such a high position? If the Heavenly Emperor had not been away on a long journey, who would have dared to seize the spoils of victory?"

"Hmph, it really proves the saying, 'When the cat's away, the mice will play.'"

"These young people are truly excellent!!!"

Each of the Celestial Kings felt a surge of anger, as they felt their dreams of becoming Quasi-Celestial Emperors had been shattered.

Originally, some Celestial Kings believed that as long as they dealt with the strange race, they could rely on the power of the Heavenly Court to occupy a realm of myriad worlds.

With the blessing of the entire universe bestowed upon them, their chances of breaking through to become emperors have increased by more than 10%.
Even without relying on a supreme being to 'correct' their mistakes, if those who went astray and died suddenly are brought to light in the world, they still have the potential to become quasi-immortal emperors.

It is different now.

The Imperial Court is about to become the nominal ruler of all worlds. How will they then seize control of all the heavens and myriad realms and usurp the immense fortune?
This is an act of obstruction!

Moreover, after countless years of fierce fighting, the result was being ruled by future generations; how many people could accept that?

That being that overturned the plateau was indeed extremely terrifying, but they also had the invincible Desolate Emperor!

In terms of top-tier combat power, they are second to none.

"war!"

Someone shouted loudly.

"Why bother? If one truly possesses innate talent and ability, one can easily achieve the status of a Dao Ancestor like the Heavenly Emperor. Why would one need to rely on external forces to propel one forward?"

A few powerful individuals sighed inwardly. They no longer wanted endless fighting. The day the strange race was pacified, all they wanted was to find a great realm to retire in.

Since they are already eternal Celestial Kings, when they are living in seclusion, who would dare to actively attack and kill these meritorious elders of the Heavenly Court?

Deep in the sky above the secret realm, a colossal, boundless crimson dragon of the Dao Ancestor level churned among the clouds, seemingly powerless as it listened to the uproar that erupted throughout the secret realm.

It also longed to decide the supreme throne of all worlds in one battle, but as Huang's disciple, it was naturally aware of Huang's strength.

However, that 'Imperial Court' has four transcendent beings who are suspected to be on the same level as Huang!
The Immortal Kings, limited by their insufficient strength, were unable to see the things beyond the heavens, but the Dao Ancestors truly sensed the boundless terror of the sacrificial battlefield on that day.

Even if the invincible Desolate Emperor could fight three against one, the extra person was enough to severely injure or even completely destroy everyone in the Heavenly Court.

It's not that they don't want to compete for the supreme throne of all worlds, it's just that they lack the strength.

Unless… they unite with another force that dares to use the name 'Heavenly Court'. (End of Chapter)
