A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 681 The Divine Silkworm Arrives at the Heavenly Court
Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the myriad paths of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths suddenly and violently turbulently occurred. Countless laws of humanity were disintegrating, as if the core that unified all the laws of the Great Dao had vanished, and its presence was no longer felt.

In an instant, a peculiar sense of sorrow drifted among countless stars, flowing deep into the hearts of every human being, causing them to involuntarily feel a touch of sadness.

Why do I feel this sadness?

"Was it the divine will of some supreme emperor that spread and affected me?"

A young saint, not yet a hundred years old, who was in seclusion in a newly formed star field on the edge of the universe, stopped his meditation, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his expression full of helplessness and confusion, and his pupils showed a clearness untouched by the world.

But soon, the young sage, who was not yet a hundred years old, was stunned. He heard the speechless words of many sect elders who were near his secluded mountain.

"Fuck!"

"How could this possibly happen? It's simply unbelievable!"

"The God Emperor... As expected of the God Emperor! He's truly... too... amazing!"

"That's not even 15,000 years yet. Wait, let me calculate carefully, it's 12,367 years!"

"In such a short time, this God-Emperor has abandoned the Heavenly Heart Mark and quit!"

The old sage, with a long white beard, a strong and powerful physique, and bulging muscles, stared wide-eyed at the information he had just calculated.

He truly never expected that, in less than 20,000 years, this God Emperor would actually abdicate!

What can you accomplish in 20,000 years?
He cultivated the Way of Nature, and even at the level of a fourth-grade Immortal Saint, he managed to survive for over eight thousand years. In his second life, his cultivation advanced to the fifth-grade Immortal Saint King, and his physique underwent a transformation, allowing him to survive for another ten thousand years. Now, in his third life, at the peak of the sixth-grade Immortal Great Saint, he has reached over twelve thousand years old thanks to the longevity pills he has continuously consumed over the years.

In other words, this great sage, who has lived three lifetimes and nearly 30,000 years, witnessed firsthand the God Emperor seize the Heavenly Heart Seal and then abandon the throne.

In a mere twelve thousand years, just as he was becoming confident in achieving immortality through the method of self-destruction, this God-Emperor slipped away.
"The origin of the God Emperor is very clear. He did not join any immortal lineage. He was completely alone and established his Daoist temple on the ancient star of the Big Dipper."

"How could those powerful immortals, those great immortal sects, those starry sky immortal clans allow this emperor with no background to skip work?"

"The last emperor from the Holy Spirit Clan who obtained the Heavenly Heart Mark reigned for nearly two hundred thousand years!"

Not only was the eldest saint completely bewildered, but the other saints gathered at the edge of the universe who had relevant experiences also ended their meditation and looked up in astonishment at this incredible scene in the cosmic starry sky.

Even an old quasi-emperor who was close to achieving enlightenment through unorthodox means and was located in the ninth heaven, pulled his beard and exclaimed, "What's wrong with the universe and the starry sky? It shouldn't be like this!"

"Three hundred years ago, this God-Emperor sent us a message, giving us a blueprint for opening up life-bearing star fields. Now he's skipping work and refusing to work with us, those who were sent to the edge of the universe to 'work.' To which immortal being should we hand over our mission?!"

"This is a massive project involving a billion resource-rich star systems and over ten thousand habitable star systems, and now the person in charge has run away with the buckets. Could the project be going to be abandoned?"

Now, not only is the universe and starry sky of the nine heavens and ten earths boiling, but within the [Spirit Realm], the communication platform created by the kings has also undergone a "sublimation phenomenon".

Between the lines, there is a civilized "greeting" to the entire family of the "Divine Silkworm Immortal King".
-
Qilin Cliff.

The God Emperor, who had already transformed into a small, milky-white Qilin, squatted in front of the large, azure-green Qilin, his face full of contentment.

Qi Jing stared at the milky-white "juvenile Qilin," which was only the size of his claw, with a dark expression. He complained, "You are a God Emperor and the 'Divine Silkworm Immortal King' with the strength of a Celestial King. Now you've come to me in this state, and you've even abandoned the Heavenly Heart Mark and run away without a word. Isn't that a bit much?"

"I guarantee that the Celestial King who will be on duty in the future is probably cursing you in his heart right now, looking at the remnant image of the law you left in the [Spirit Realm] database."

The Divine Emperor didn't care at all. He picked up a few fruits with his claws and said while munching on them, "The one who will be on duty in the future is the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, right? Let him scold me if he wants. What's the big deal? Anyway, I don't have many silkworms at home to begin with, and now they've all gone to sleep in the Immortal Source Sealing Area."

"Besides, I'm giving him a chance. Before I stepped down, I established billions of major projects. If the Celestial Venerable of Longevity takes over my work and completes all the tasks excellently, he will be able to gain a considerable amount of fortune."

"He is born to enjoy 'special' treatment in the newly opened life star fields. In the future, whether a living being obtains Xuanhuang merit in these star fields or a king-level being who has survived the tribulations of the rules of the heavens appears, the will of the universe will set aside a wisp as his 'dividend'."

The milky-white little Qilin let out a burp, then stretched out its paw to pick up the water jug, poured itself a cup of immortal tea, and sighed leisurely.

"As for why I'm here," the God Emperor's small eyes revealed a "well-behaved" look, and he pointed to his "Qilin body" with his claws, "I am now a young Qilin cub who is less than 15,000 years old. If I don't stay at Qilin Cliff, where else can I go?"

"You agree, right? A senior member of the same clan who has lived from the Immortal Realm Era to the present day?"

Qi Jing stared in disbelief at the "milky white Qilin" that was less than a claw's width away from him.

Previously, he felt that this fellow Daoist Divine Emperor was quite reliable, so why did he suddenly change like this?
Or is it that the God Emperor's current appearance is his truest nature?

Subconsciously, Qi Jing mobilized his own faint imperial light and drew upon the Dao essence of the Immortal Emperor's radiance left in his body by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, empowering himself, and looked at the "milky white little Qilin" in front of him with the Qilin Divine Eye.

Suddenly, he saw a large net of silk threads shimmering with starlight, and through this thick net, a semi-transparent, milky-white Qilin, shaking its head and spitting out threads of light emanating from cause and effect and destiny, came into view.

"A consciousness clone?"

Saki's eyes widened even more, and she muttered to herself unconsciously.

The milky-white little Qilin, who was less than a claw's width away from the big Qilin, froze. He looked up in astonishment and met Qi Jing's gaze, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Is it really a consciousness clone?"

"You left one of your consciousness clones from Sendai here?"

"No, the causal fates of being both the 'God Emperor' and the 'Divine Silkworm Immortal King' point to you, and you've grafted these causal fates onto this clone of your consciousness!"

"When did this happen? You were meditating on the summit of Shencan Ridge, right next to my primordial spirit avatar!" Qi Jing was completely stunned and couldn't believe it when he saw what the God Emperor had done.

Although that stone embryo clone did not have the cultivation level of an Immortal King, its corresponding memories and cultivation had not been severed or forgotten. It was at the level of an Emperor Light Immortal King, without any exaggeration.

In this situation, the God Emperor concealed his whereabouts, and then, within an unknown period of time, pulled a "sleight of hand" and escaped?!
"Where is your true self now?"

"Furthermore, did you learn this technique of grafting cause and effect and destiny from the future body that became the Supreme Dao Ancestor when you were in harmony with the will of Heaven?"

The milky-white little Qilin rolled its eyes and stuck out its pink tongue at the big Qilin.

Nonsense, this method that can shield the observation of the Emperor Light Immortal King and even the Supreme Dao Ancestor must have been learned during the time when one's body and mind are in harmony with the will of Heaven, with the help of the Dao Ancestor's fortune, and with special power added on by being present.

Otherwise, with his true spirit, which only possesses some characteristics of a quasi-Immortal Emperor and is at the level of an Immortal King, how could he create something from nothing and comprehend it out of thin air?

That's not how you cheat.

Moreover, you, an Emperor Light Immortal King, were able to perceive his methods, which were enough to conceal even ordinary Supreme Dao Ancestors. Your seemingly docile Qilin also seems abnormal.

It seems I'm not the only one using cheat codes.

The milky-white little Qilin picked out some information that could be shared and said, "I don't know where the main body went. He just grabbed me from the Immortal Platform and after some indescribable dawdling, this is what you see now."

"Well, anyway, before I returned, I was the true 'God Emperor' and 'Divine Silkworm Immortal King'. And I always was!"

The large, azure-green Qilin nodded. He knew that it belonged to one hundred and eight thousand six hundredth of the "Divine Emperor" and the "Divine Silkworm Immortal King".
-
In a certain period of time within the Heavenly Court, along the long river of history.

The Divine Emperor's true form sat cross-legged in the Lingxiao Palace, his aura already imbued with immortal qualities. The divine forms of the Divine Silkworm, True Dragon, True Phoenix, Qilin, Sword Grass, Cricket, Divine Stone, Kunpeng, Thunder Spirit, and Giant Ant were as real as if they were real, evolving into ten life charts that had reached the ultimate realm of True Immortals, standing horizontally in the air.

He sensed the touch of fate and cause and effect, slowly opened his eyes, and murmured, "Fellow Daoist Qi Jing has noticed that he is also a near-destined Quasi-Immortal Emperor in terms of combat power, and he is also a Dao Ancestor who did not cultivate the 'Secret Realm Method' to attain supreme power."

The Divine Emperor slowly rose and once again surveyed the intact Lingxiao Palace, as well as the equally intact Heavenly Court, which was missing the presence of the Immortal Emperor's artifact and deity.

"An empty Heavenly Court is almost like a supreme Dao Fruit that has reached the level of a half-step Immortal Emperor. Moreover, it is covered with Dao traces of the laws of fate and cause and effect, manifested to the point that even Immortal Kings can look at it at will."

"As expected of the Emperor, who is a mythical Heavenly Emperor specializing in the Dao of Time, his ability to arrange this is truly amazing."

"Where did the Immortal Emperor Artifact he forged on the ancient star, the [Emperor Cauldron], go?"

The God Emperor searched the entire Heavenly Court but could not find any trace of the bronze cauldron recorded in the ancient books, as if it had never existed at all.

The God Emperor reached out and pulled out strands of translucent silkworm silk, which were covered with cause and effect and destiny. He silently looked at the broken marks on these threads, his eyes filled with hesitation and speculation.

Perhaps the [Emperor's Cauldron] does not exist at his current point in time, and like the other [Heavenly Court] cauldrons, it is held in the hands of an unparalleled Dao Ancestor as a guide for his future cultivation.

"Is this yet another Quasi-Immortal Emperor with the power of the Golden Peak Dao Ancestor, who attained supreme status by forging a supreme weapon?"

"Among myself, Dao Ancestor Jin Feng, Daoist Qi Jing, Ancestor Yun Ding, Heavenly Venerable Zhu Long, and the Buddha of the Future of Nirvana, there are already six. Perhaps we should add the Emperor, who also obtained the fortune of a Dao Ancestor, making it seven."

"As for Zhenyuan Daozu, who has already run to the deepest part of the Boundary Sea, Laojun, who is in the ancient star of the Primordial World, and the two emperors whose cultivation levels are unknown, there may also exist."

The God-Emperor, having counted on his fingers, raised an eyebrow slightly. "Just how many things has the Emperor arranged? And this is only what I can see and guess at right now."

With a slight sigh, he calmed himself down again and prepared to continue his cultivation.

However, at this moment, a terrifying wave suddenly came from an extremely distant unknown place. The terrifying fluctuation of the Great Dao Law directly caused the entire [Heavenly Court] to tremble slightly several times. The barrier above the [Heavenly Court], which was covered with traces of the Dao of Time, echoed out wave after wave like ocean waves, shimmering with handfuls of flowing colors of time.

Such an astonishing phenomenon instantly tightened the God Emperor's nerves. Looking at the aftershocks in the sky and the echoes, he gradually narrowed his eyes.

"Such terrifying power definitely surpasses the level of a quasi-Immortal Emperor. It's an Immortal Emperor!"

"A Celestial Emperor is launching an attack on the Heavenly Court!"

However, this strange phenomenon came suddenly and ended abruptly.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Court, where only he existed, became peaceful, appearing serene and idyllic.

The Emperor's heart was already taut, yet he never let his guard down.

He knew that once such a terrifying phenomenon occurred, there would definitely be a second time, and the phenomenon would become larger and larger, with the intervals between them becoming shorter and shorter.

"Time waits for no one. I was originally planning to continue to improve the 'Sixth Secret Realm - Shedding the True Nature of the Past' that I created, and use this secret realm to advance to the level of an unparalleled giant in one step."

Having made his decision, the Divine Emperor closed his eyes, and the "Sixth Secret Realm: Shedding the Past and True Nature" he had established slowly descended, while the illusory "Sixth Secret Realm: Xuanhuang Outer Heaven" slowly rose, radiating brilliant Dao light.

A true spirit at the level of a quasi-immortal emperor leaped up, directly descending from within its body to this illusory high heaven, inscribing ten dazzling and profound immortal diagrams, thereby sublimating a profound king-level law, as well as an immortal king law belonging to cause and effect and destiny.

The whole process was natural and seamless, without any twists or turns or pauses.

When the God Emperor fully constructed his Immortal King Dao Fruit, the Immortal King power at the level of an unparalleled giant already surrounded him.

The Divine Silkworm Immortal King now truly lives up to his name.
