Chapter 1083 Collision
Above the Imperial Palace of the Divine Capital, the Jade Pool Wonderland spontaneously appeared, transforming into a celestial palace in the clouds above the sky, shrouded in celestial mist.

Unlike the scene after the 'Demon Lord' had soiled it, this time, with the Golden Emperor personally approving the restoration, the entire appearance was almost completely restored. The slight differences were only due to Tao Yu's own preferences.

The Jade Pool floats on the clouds, with auspicious clouds welcoming and sending off guests, resembling a grand Peach Banquet.

However, nowadays, the number of true immortals in the world is dwindling, and there are only a handful of them. The main ones are representatives of major families in the mortal world, and even representatives of sects.

Although the current emperor was slowly balancing the distribution of power within the dynasty, suppressing powerful families and emphasizing the common people, he was gradually boiling the frog in water to ensure that society did not descend into chaos. The sects and powerful families could be seen as victims.

Even so, all the representatives from the sects and aristocratic families showed considerable respect and obedience upon arriving here.

The Cui family, which possesses the Dharma body, is the emperor's vanguard, and the two Wang families also provide strong support.

The Dharma bodies of the two great Dharma body sects, Shaolin and Chunyang, have both received healing from His Majesty the Human Emperor.

Furthermore, with the righteous Dharma bodies such as Lu Da, Su Wuming, and He Qi expressing their straightforward support, there is no possibility of any trouble.

However, although many of the delegates who came appeared humble and dignified on the surface, their worries could be seen in their casual conversations.

"There's really no need to make things so awkward if we can have a celestial being as an envoy on a tour."

"Those who love war will perish..."

"Well, we should still prioritize harmony."

"This is a battle of gods, we just need to watch."

"..."

Many prominent and wealthy families actually felt somewhat helpless; if they could avoid coming, they wouldn't even want to.

By participating in this humiliating gathering of immortals, they had already made their stance clear, and if the Human Emperor were to lose in the future, they would be in a difficult position.

In fact, for powerful and wealthy families, their greatest strength lies in helping whoever wins, and choosing the option that minimizes losses and maximizes profits!
Now that we are all within the Emperor's territory, we have no choice but to come.

Now that the Emperor's power is firmly established, unless the overseas forces can truly overthrow the central dynasty and complete the change of dynasty, the Emperor's decrees must be obeyed.

However, as mortals, being able to ascend to the Jade Pool Wonderland and participate in such a gathering that was once only accessible to immortals, the representatives of various families and sects felt a sense of honor.

Although the Emperor was indeed suppressing the powerful families, he did not deny them any way to survive, and in terms of fairness and justice, he treated them all equally.

Even the Cui family, their number one lackeys, received the same treatment.

One after another, powerful and dignified figures descended across the rainbow, each appearance drawing the attention of the crowd.

Even after the primordial energy of heaven and earth began to loosen, the Dharma Master's status remained high and unchanging!
Even Qi Heng Gong Jiang Xiaobai from the world of Investiture of the Gods was invited to this banquet and arrived at the venue under the guidance of Meng Qi.

"It's truly like a fairyland, wow!"

Looking at the magnificent Yaochi before him, and the surrounding immortal mist, Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath of spiritual energy and felt that it was much better than the situation outside the real world.

"His Majesty the Human Emperor suppressed the Celestial Immortals and forced the Demon Lord to retreat, ultimately stripping Yaochi away. The mission that Lu Ya and I agreed to complete was also accomplished at that time."

Meng Qi said to Jiang Xiaobai.

Both were members of the Jade Void Sect, and Jiang Xiaobai had previously helped Meng Qi a lot, so they could be considered friends despite their age difference.

"Tsk tsk, suppressing a celestial being and plucking a jade pool are completely different things..."

Jiang Xiaobai said to Meng Qi meaningfully.

The world of Investiture of the Gods is itself a fragment of the real world, just like the world of Journey to the West, a part forcibly extracted by the powerful beings of the other shore.

It can be considered a continuation that is moving in parallel backwards.

They did not experience the period of demons wreaking havoc on the land or the period of the human emperor ruling the world in the world of Fengshen, but they were quite clear about some ancient secrets.

Even the real Jade Void Palace is located in the world of Investiture of the Gods.

It was here that Meng Qi received the complete inheritance, including his physical body on Earth, which allowed him to find the opportunity to break through the Dharma body and sever his connection with the Demon Buddha. It was also here that the Tao Te Ching was transmitted, completing the subtraction and emptiness of the Tao Te Heavenly Venerable.

"I actually think so too, so at least within the Humanity Dynasty, there is no need to worry too much about the experts behind Jin'ao Island."

Meng Qi had seen Tao Yu suppress celestial beings and Tao Yu strip away from the Jade Pool, so he also had this confidence.

"You say that your Primordial Six Seals are all inherited from him?"

"Yes, his initial title, 'Successor of the Primordial Beginning,' was much greater than 'Successor of the Human Emperor.' It was only after he took control of the dynasty that the common people gradually began to regard him as 'Successor of the Human Emperor.'"

Meng Qi was also very popular and could talk to all the Dharma bodies. He also introduced Jiang Xiaobai to everyone.

Upon hearing about the existence of such a wondrous world as the Investiture of the Gods, the many Dharma Bodies in the Real World also felt a sense of awe.

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Tao Yu finally arrived at the scene, stepping onto the golden bridge of human power and riding the mobile palace pulled by the seven-colored black bird.

In this relatively formal setting, Qingniao and Jinhuang stood behind him, their waists cinched, appearing very dignified.

An atmosphere of authority, yet gentleness, filled the room.

"See Your Majesty."

Cui Qinghe and Gao Lan spoke first, and then everyone else spoke in unison.

Tao Yu did not kneel or bow; everyone present stood and bowed in unison.

"No need for formalities, please take your seats. Thank you all for coming."

"It is our honor to be able to participate in the banquet for immortals hosted by His Majesty in this fairyland of Yaochi, and to witness this ancient grand event once again!"

As the senior member of the Cui family, Cui Qinghe always took the lead in everything because he was saved by Tao Yu.

One by one, plump, juicy peaches, shrouded in a delicate aura, were placed on fruit platters and served on everyone's tables.

"Although this spiritual peach is not as good as the immortal peach, it still has some of the charm of tradition and can increase lifespan."

What Tao Yu took out was a grafted version of the immortality elixir transplanted from the world of Shrouding the Heavens. Although it was not as good as the real peaches of immortality in this world, it was not as good as the original immortality elixir.

Even for a Dharmakaya whose lifespan is short in the real world, it can at least add a few years to one's lifespan.

Even Jiang Xiaobai's eyes lit up after taking a bite.

"Wow, these are some good things! You've really gone to great lengths to bring out so many."

As he spoke, he quickly finished the peaches and then began to regulate his breathing to absorb as much of the medicinal power as possible.

Other Dharmakayas, and even those masters, exhibited roughly the same behavior.

The moment a single spirit peach appeared, the atmosphere at the scene became lively.

The seats were filled with praise for Tao Yu's generosity, and various words of praise were heard endlessly.

But just as the atmosphere was at its most intense, several rays of light appeared in the sky, forming a road leading to heaven.

An envoy is flying towards Yaochi on the main road.

The rosy clouds filling the sky, in terms of sheer grandeur, seemed to rival even the Jade Pool in every way, exuding an ethereal aura.

Surrounded by celestial beauties, a stunningly alluring woman in palace attire occupied the main seat, and upon approaching, she smiled slightly.

"This humble servant is Su Daji, and greets Your Majesty the Human Emperor."

Su Daji's voice was sweet, her eyes were like autumn water, and her watery gaze seemed to contain infinite charm, captivating the heart.

"Oh? That's interesting."

Tao Yu raised an eyebrow, looked Su Daji up and down, and revealed a smile.

“I remember I had Yuan Hong come over in person.”

Tao Yu spoke calmly, and in one gulp revealed the true island master behind Su Daji.

"The island lord is worried that his own power is too strong and will crush the Humanitarian Dynasty, leading to widespread suffering. Therefore, he sent me to pay my respects first."

Sending one's own wife to apologize does indeed show some sincerity.

Tao Yu nodded in agreement upon hearing this, but even Su Daji was taken aback by what she heard.

what?
Before she could even react, she was pulled by a tremendous force and, with a gasp, fell into Tao Yu's arms in front of everyone.

After feeling the texture and smelling the fragrance, Tao Yu nodded in admiration.
"As expected of a fox spirit, I will accept this apology. You wait behind me."

After Tao Yu finished speaking, he released Su Daji. Qingniao and Jinhuang then stepped forward and pulled Su Daji into the group, where she stood behind them.

After she dazedly stood still and realized what had happened, Su Daji's face showed a mixture of shame and indignation.

She is indeed a vixen; the phrase "bringing disaster to the country and the people" perfectly describes her.

To be examined in front of the whole world like a piece of merchandise, treated as a gift, was such a humiliation that her heart raced, her blood rushed, and her emotions surged.

The immortals, who had been bathed in the glow of the setting sun, were both shocked and enraged.

"Let go of my lady!"

"How dare you!" "..."

Before he could say anything more, the golden radiance of humanity swept across the sky, and countless celestial beings fell like rain.

The message was already finished, and this time Tao Yu didn't hold back at all. As the celestial beings fell from the sky, they all exploded under the pressure and turned into strands of white hair!

This scene shocked everyone present, as they were both astonished by Tao Yu's ability to defeat the enemy single-handedly and by the transformation of the opponent!
"Could it really be Yuan Hong?!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked so serious he almost stood up.

The period he was in had only recently passed since the Investiture of the Gods, and many legends were still alive!
He was well aware that the leader of the Seven Monsters of Meishan was a terrifying being who could fight Yang Jian in battle after cultivating the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts!
To possess the cultivation of a celestial being with just a single hair is almost the ultimate achievement!
Because of the legendary characteristic of the unity of all beings, apart from special methods such as severing corpses, incarnation, and substitution, celestial beings can be regarded as the pinnacle.

So many tiny hairs must be the work of a celestial being...

"This is troublesome. Yuan Hong has cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to its peak and is considered a strong person in the realm of creation. The reason he didn't come is probably because he was worried about the karma brought by the Human Dynasty causing a karmic backlash."

Jiang Xiaobai's face showed worry.

It's not that they can't, it's just that they're unwilling!
So even though Tao Yu could single-handedly overpower all the immortals, Jiang Xiaobai still felt solemn and worried.

His words were also clearly heard by the many Dharma bodies beside him.

Now that people are beginning to understand the mythological era and have a vague concept of legends and creation, they naturally realize the difficulties involved.

Su Daji, having recovered from her previous embarrassment and anger, seemed unsurprised to see Tao Yu sweep away the immortals with a single hand.

However, remembering his original purpose for coming here, which was to gather his thoughts, he lowered his voice and said in a deep voice...
"Isn't Your Majesty being too impolite? Even the island lord admires Your Majesty's mastery of the power of humanity, which has made the Central Dynasty quite perfect. The scale of this dynasty is comparable to that of a legend. Within the scope of the dynasty, you can stand at an infinitely high position, and be omnipresent in certain areas!"

As Su Daji spoke, she grew increasingly confident, as if she had seen through all of Tao Yu's trump cards.

"However, all of this is predicated on the perfection and completeness of your Humanitarian Dynasty. Once war breaks out within it, or once people's hearts begin to waver, it is possible to break the deadlock! This was the case with the Great Shang Dynasty back then..."

At this point, Su Daji seemed to recall something, and her words carried a hint of sadness.

At that very moment, Tao Yu also sensed some fluctuations in his Humanity Dynasty.

The northern grassland army marched south, and the major demonic forces within the territory joined forces with a few aristocratic families who were unwilling to be weakened to rebel.

It seemed as if they had agreed on a time, and they did it together.

Despite the internal and external pressures, and the lack of battle reports and secret messages yet, the feedback from the Humanitarian Dynasty is already evident.

Leaving aside Tao Yu, as the army led by Guldor in the north launched a full-scale assault on the passes, the wars that broke out in various places were all-out from the very beginning. The human spirit covering those areas was dissipating, and even the many avatars in the capital noticed the difference and looked in all directions of the turmoil.

"Your Majesty, is there any unusual activity on the grasslands? Has Guldo marched south? Should we go to his aid now?"

Cui Qinghe stood up and bowed.

If Guldo were to personally intervene, there probably wouldn't be many who could effectively restrain him!
Tao Yu did not answer Cui Qinghe's question, but simply looked at the scene and calmly said...

"The Humanitarian Dynasty does indeed have internal flaws. When people's hearts cannot unite as one, conflicts will arise. The conflicting areas will have a multiplier effect on the surrounding neutral areas."

Tao Yu's frank words were heard by many aristocratic families and sects present, and for a moment, some other thoughts arose in the hearts of many people.

"Among you, there shouldn't be any who came to their aid or betrayed them, right?"

"Don't dare!"

A chorus of voices appeared.

"Well, that's good. Since the impact is so significant, my methods might be a bit ruthless."

Tao Yu ruled the world in the name of the Human Emperor, so it's easier to clarify things by mentioning some things first.

"But you probably won't have that chance again..."

Su Daji also felt the tremor of the Humanity Dynasty and let out a sigh.

This flaw, in the eyes of the island owner, was fatal enough!
Almost as soon as Daji finished speaking, a giant hand came down from the clouds in the sky and swept towards the capital!

The giant hand was like a star that was originally at an infinite height. As it fell closer, it grew larger and larger, and soon it covered the entire sky above the capital city.

The lines on his palm resembled mountains, and there seemed to be some downy hair around the palm.

At the same time, a voice came from the sky.

"I treated you with courtesy from the beginning, but you went too far. Now, I will teach you what manners are!"

That giant hand was only directed at the capital, minimizing the causal entanglement and karmic influence!
Furthermore, the northern grasslands' intrusion and the rampage of demonic sects in various regions led to gaps and cracks appearing within the human dynasty.

This palm strike seemed to shatter the integrity of the Humanity Dynasty, as if it only needed to target the Humanity Power in the Divine Capital area!

The threat and pressure brought by that giant hand descending from the sky were simply beyond the comprehension of the Dharma Masters.

This overwhelming sensation of descending from an infinite height seems to be able to knock everything down to the mortal world and crush it into dust!
Faced with this palm strike that came from the sky, Tao Yu didn't even stand up; he simply sighed softly to himself.

"I attributed the envoy's previous rudeness to your lack of discipline, and gave you a chance to apologize. I was even prepared to let you go after you sent your wife as an apology, but you failed to seize the opportunity..."

After speaking, Tao Yu lightly tapped the table, and the Human Emperor Sword rose up in response!

"Those creatures with fur and horns are not even taught humane ways; they truly don't know what's good for them..."

shuh~
As the Emperor's Sword rose, the unparalleled aura of this divine weapon, fully awakened and without any suppression, instantly widened Yuan Hong's eyes.

"At this time? How is that possible!"

At this point in time, the peerless divine weapon has actually fully revived?!

It's not a legend, not a stroke of luck, it's a real and complete recovery!
Human Emperor!

With the appearance of the Human Emperor Sword, the previously scattered power of humanity became unprecedentedly concentrated, far surpassing its previous peak!

This coverage extends even to the southern barbarians and the grasslands.

The neighbor's humanitarian power surged wildly into the Human Emperor Sword.

That seemingly casual slash from afar was like a direct strike aimed at Yuan Hong, who was standing at an infinite height!

Even though a palm was pressing down, the Human Emperor Sword, with its high-dimensional status, ignored all obstacles and pointed directly to the source!

puff~
when~
A loud bell rang out, and Yuan Hong produced the largest remaining fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell in his hand, which collided heavily with the Human Emperor Sword.

The enormous waves generated by that reckless, unrestrained impact seemed capable of crushing and disrupting even space and time, as if they could sweep across the entire real world!

However, with the boost of humanitarian power, the fully revived Emperor's Sword easily quelled the aftershocks, leaving only a small amount behind.

A thick, ape-like arm, dripping with heavy drops of blood, fell from the sky.

It appeared that the arm that had just delivered the blow had been completely severed.

In this environment of powerful collision and spatial chaos, a man dressed in a Taoist robe with blank eyes suddenly appeared, stepping into the origin of the spatial chaos with one foot clad in a Taoist boot.

In an instant, the historical river of the real world flowed backward, and a wave surged towards the entire capital city.

"what?"

Tao Yu had originally intended to stop the tide that was flowing against the current, but he soon sensed a mysterious feeling within it.

"The Azure Emperor? Interesting..."

Tao Yu's heart stirred slightly, and with a flick of his fingers, he instantly rushed into the torrent from where he had been guarding this world.

shuh~
Also swept in were Meng Qi and many other powerful cultivators. It was only after the Human Emperor Sword arrived late that the turbulent flow of time and space was severed!
"This guy, Qingdi, is really going to reach the other shore, and it feels like he's more likely to do so than Zhenwu."

Tao Yu could sense that the Azure Emperor was now caught in a self-conflicting contradiction, and could only act in a daze according to his instincts, searching for a breakthrough opportunity to find himself again.

It appeared just now because it sensed the intense spacetime fluctuations caused by the collision here, which triggered the reverse flow of the river of history.

Even the most extraordinary creations can reverse time in certain areas, but it's difficult to do so at will; a suitable opportunity must be found.

The Azure Emperor seized this opportunity and intervened. The current countercurrent in the river of history is caused by the clash between Tao Yu and Yuan Hong, and he only needs to make some adjustments within it.

"To be able to make such adjustments on instinct is quite impressive, but I can also take the opportunity to complete some historical anchor points..."

Although Tao Yu believed he possessed strength comparable to that of the other side, he had indeed left nothing behind in the past of the Real World. Since he ultimately intended to use the Real World as a starting point, he naturally could not let go of such an opportunity.

Otherwise, if we simply use the rules of the abyss to manipulate things, it's not just a matter of how big the disturbance is, but it could cause the River of Time in this world to collapse due to the power of the abyss.

That would have a much greater impact and negative consequences; it's far better to just go with the flow like this.

"The Azure Emperor probably wants to enlighten his past self, connecting the past and present, which doesn't conflict with my own..."

Everyone can just do their own thing.

Once the reverse flow of the river of time subsides, the normal flow will wash these outcasts back.

However, without proper protection, the relentless flow of time will instantly bring them to the end of their lifespan and cause them to pass away peacefully...
