Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 168, Side Story 2 (No need to read)
Three: Ye Fan
"leaf!"

Ji Ziyue looked at the man she loved in front of her and straightened his clothes.

For the past 720,000 years, she and Xiao Zi have been in the Immortal Realm, while Ye Fan has been alone in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Only the longing that runs deep in her bones remains.

But alas, only sorrow remains in my heart.

The feelings didn't grow distant because of this time; instead, they made each other's hearts grow further apart, but they also passed through the narrow gate and came to where they are today.

In the mortal world, amidst youthful beauty and fleeting moments, a single leaf obscures the vast sky.

“Purple Moon…”

Ye Fan softly called out the name of the lovely woman before him, a name that came from a long-sealed memory.

Over the years, the other person hasn't changed much, except that they've become much more haggard and weathered.

Tears welled up in Ji Ziyue's eyes, but a smile still lingered on her lips.

"It hasn't been easy for us on this journey!"

Ye Fan hugged her, patted her back, and said with deep remorse, "I'm sorry for what I did to you."

The heartache before parting is still vivid in my mind.

Ji Ziyue hugged the man in front of her, and the two embraced. She whispered to comfort him, "You are the Heavenly Emperor. I knew that day would come. You are invincible and should not stop just because of me and Xiao Zi."

She pushed him away, her heart bleeding. Seventy-two thousand years of waiting, seventy-two thousand years of loneliness, no one knew. She dared not speak too much to Xiao Zi.

These were extremely difficult years. After Shakyamuni and Lao Tzu became emperors, she also became a great emperor.

Under their guidance, Xiao Zi had already become an emperor, reaching the pinnacle of humanity; it seemed like only yesterday.

Ji Ziyue was still as bright as before, but she no longer had the ethereal quality she possessed in her youth.

720,000 years is far too long.

“You are my husband, Xiao Zi’s biological father, and the Heavenly Emperor.”

Ye Fan nodded without saying a word.

Ji Ziyue was incredibly clever; she immediately sensed that Ye Fan had something on his mind.

"It's alright, go ahead and say it."

Ye Fan sighed and had no choice but to tell Ye Yishui about it.

"Oh, I see!" Ji Ziyue smiled, her smile as radiant as a jewel, yet a hint of melancholy lingered beneath.

"It's nothing... Nobody knows what will happen in the future, everything is unknown. The Heavenly Court needs someone who can inherit your will, an innate holy body and Dao embryo... It's nothing."

"Hehe... It's too late! In our past lives, I remember there was a holy land with an innate Dao embryo, right? If you had succeeded back then, you wouldn't need to go through all this trouble now. An emperor with an innate holy body and Dao embryo! Just like that Emperor Wushi, you would have it much easier..."

As Ji Ziyue spoke, she began to doubt her own words. She had considered such a thing, but reality was reality, not her imagination.

"Look, Little Purple, doesn't she have a little brother now?"

Ye Fan responded in a low voice.

"Father!"

Just then, Xiao Zi returned. Seeing her parents embracing, she ran over, her eyes filled with tears.

"Little Purple... has grown up and has become an emperor, not bad..."

The three of them hugged each other; this was the original family.

The family of three was filled with joy.

……

……

Ye Fan could not leave the Heavenly Court, and after saying goodbye to Ji Ziyue and Xiao Zi, he did not come to the Heavenly Court immediately.

His black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, his eyes flashed like cold lightning, and he stood at the pinnacle of this world. The power of the Mortal Immortal was fully manifested, and he reached out and grabbed the Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi.

Boom!
Previously, when he was revived, he almost shattered the Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi. Now, the guilt in his heart reached its peak, and he shattered it directly.

He then peered over and saw the Heavenly Court's main force had landed, while the Black Emperor was in his palace, ordering his servants around.

Suddenly, I sensed a gaze coming from the horizon.

Who are the most skilled masters in this world today?
Only a handful of beings could instill fear in someone of his Great Emperor level.

The Emperor and the Immortal Emperor are dead, and Xu Yuanming is not here.

He wasn't familiar with Zhang Bairen and those True Immortals, so there was no need for them to treat him like this.

And he's a dog protected by three Heavenly Emperors... well, two Heavenly Emperors of the Mortal World.

Who would dare treat me like this?
The Black Emperor already knew who it was, and waved to the people in the palace: "You have business to attend to today, so go back first."

After everyone left, Black Emperor huddled in a corner, not daring to meet their gaze.

Feeling guilty, he dared not see Ji Ziyue and Xiao Zi, so he had no choice but to return to the palace.

The final outcome arrived: Ye Fan came looking for him.

Even Black Emperor didn't howl; he was certain Ye Fan wouldn't attack him.

But it would be better if he were an opponent; if we don't act now, he won't be able to vent his guilt.

Ye Fan sighed. The Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron could be rebuilt after it was broken, but the Black Emperor could not. This bastard would really turn into a dead dog with one punch, dead beyond any hope of survival.

……

……

As time passed and the world changed, the Heavenly Court finally settled down in this world.

They began their journey through the myriad realms. Upon learning that the Heavenly Court, founded by the Desolate Emperor millions of years ago, had been destroyed, they felt heavy-hearted. The Desolate Emperor who had created the system based on the human body as a seed was dead.

Only after they delved deeper did they learn that this Heavenly Court was ruled by the son of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

It was destroyed by a strange creature, and the fate of the people inside is now unknown.

They gained a deeper understanding of the Desolate Emperor.

Throughout the myriad realms and the ages, these two are the most powerful beings.

Shi Hao reached the end of the path to immortality, ending the darkness and turmoil, and single-handedly conquered all ages, continuing his conquests.

The other person was someone they were very familiar with: Xu Yuanming. He quelled the turmoil of the Immortal Ancient Era and destroyed all the strange phenomena in the Boundary Sea. However, after his disappearance, he made a comeback.

This person is none other than the Celestial Deity of Fate.

As for why the other party appeared in the Immortal Ancient Realm, that remains unknown.

Ye Fan and the others also learned that Hongchen Xian's combat strength was equivalent to that of a quasi-Immortal King.

Above the Quasi-Immortal King realm are the Immortal King, Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and finally, the Immortal Emperor realm.

The Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Celestial Venerable of Destiny are both Immortal Emperors.

Having learned the truth about the myriad worlds, Ye Fan was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, his momentum grew even stronger.

Becoming an immortal is just the beginning. Even the Heavenly Emperor has his limits. He must become stronger. If becoming an Immortal King is not enough, then he can become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. If becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is not enough, then he can become an Immortal Emperor.

He did not believe he was weaker than the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Venerable of Destiny.

……

……

"Purple Moon".

Ye Fan looked at Ji Ziyue with a guilty expression.

If there is an afterlife, he would not want to embark on the path of cultivation. The invincibility along the way, the desolation along the way, no one can understand, but there is no other way.

He must become stronger, strong enough to protect everyone he cherishes.

“I know, Yezi, I’ve always known. Go ahead, you have your own things to do.”

Fourth: Ji Ziyue

"I will become an immortal. See you another day!"

Inside the Heavenly Gate.

Tears welled in Ji Ziyue's eyes as she held Xiao Zi in her arms, completely unable to accept reality.

She doesn't want to become an immortal, she doesn't want to live forever!
The ancient supreme beings who most desired to become immortals fell before the gates of heaven, while those who least wanted to become immortals became immortals.

Good luck fooling people!
Everything was clearly moving in the best possible direction.

Ye Zi should have achieved perfect divine body and become invincible, but why did it end up like this?
The path to immortality was not what she desired; her heart lay in the mortal realm, not the immortal realm. What meaning would there be in achieving immortality?
Ji Ziyue didn't cry. She patted Xiao Zi's back and comforted her, "Your father is the Heavenly Emperor. Who can defeat him? He said he would become an immortal, and he will definitely become an immortal. This is a vow made by a Heavenly Emperor."

Although she comforted Xiao Zi in this way, her own heart was the most sorrowful. Wasn't this sentence also a way of comforting herself?
Lao Tzu and Shakyamuni were right in front of them, without saying a word. After entering this place, their cultivation was pushed to the Great Emperor realm by unprecedented spiritual power, making them flawless beings.

At this moment, they stood here. The commotion of their ascension to immortality was so great that everyone knew they were outsiders.

The native inhabitants of this immortal realm all turned their gazes toward this place.

The moment they tried to investigate, Lao Tzu and Shakyamuni intervened, stunning all those who were peering in.

After arriving here, they realized that this immortal realm was utterly worthless...

It's not even as good as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths where I am, except that the longevity substances are abundant here, and beings in the Supreme Realm can easily live for millions of years.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but sigh, for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had suffered an unknown price because of immortality.

All living beings have only one goal: immortality.

In this world, immortality is not a luxury, but quite common, which also results in a scarcity of powerful beings.

"It seems there are no immortals in this world!"

Time, like a knife, cuts down the proud and arrogant; on the path to immortality, one sighs at the alluring beauty; a chapter of blood and bone begins.

All for the sake of becoming an immortal...

May I ask Heaven, are there immortals?
5. Xu Yuanming

After dinner, Xu Yuanming walked alone on campus.

Today was really unlucky; nothing went right.

First, I had an upset stomach in the early morning, which woke me up from my sleep. I stayed in the toilet for half an hour, and my legs went numb from squatting. In addition, the spring weather is unpredictable.

After waking up, I realized I had a cold. I went to the clinic to get some medicine, and then fell asleep while eating breakfast.

When I woke up, it was already ten o'clock.

The last class of the morning had already started, and before his roommates left, they asked him to sign them in.

Xu Yuanming sat alone on a chair in the cafeteria, feeling the importance of the several cell phones in his backpack, and gave a wry smile.

"University? Who hasn't skipped class? It's nothing..."

Just as he tried to move, he found that his legs were numb and he couldn't stand up.

"Damn, why am I having such bad luck today?"

Xu Yuanming couldn't help but complain, "These things are rare to see, but they keep coming one after another today. Is he going to die next?"
But today is just the beginning, so we can't expect to be unlucky forever, right?
……

……

It really is……

Today was nothing but bad luck.

Xu Yuanming even suggested that the unlucky bear should stop broadcasting and let him become the unlucky bear himself.

He found everything that happened to him today truly bizarre. He thought what happened this morning was enough, but who would have thought that this was just the beginning!
At lunchtime, the cafeteria lady ordered an extra amount, and told him to eat there from now on, and that was the end of it...

That's incredible.

Xu Yuanming stood there for a moment, holding his phone, looking bewildered in front of the cafeteria's food counter.

When the students behind him saw that Xu Yuanming wasn't taking any food, they stood there blocking his way and started talking to him.

When I checked in the afternoon, wow, I was on the confession wall...

Everything is going wrong...

Xu Yuanming rubbed his head. How could a person be so unlucky?
call……

How could anyone do this!

Xu Yuanming felt that if he went back to draw cards, he would definitely have a great ten-pull.

So he went to pick up the package.

The package couldn't be found, it took some time to sort it out, and I finally got a refund.

but……

We need this tomorrow!
Xu Yuanming felt increasingly pathetic; he shouldn't have tried to draw cards, he should have bought lottery tickets instead.

With that in mind, he went and bought a lottery ticket.

The result was that 100 yuan went down the drain.

Ha ha.

It seems I really was just unlucky.

Xu Yuanming felt that everything was going wrong. After returning to school, it was already evening, and he had to attend evening self-study.

After offering some psychological comfort, Xu Yuanming reached into his pocket and suddenly realized that his phone was gone too.

"..."

Xu Yuanming was not surprised at all; he was even numb to it. He picked up a cigarette and found that there were none left in the box.

As for the lighter, it was out of gas.

As expected, that makes perfect sense.

Today was absolutely the worst day ever. As for what would happen to his dorm, he already knew what would happen to his computer.

He borrowed a cigarette and a lighter.

A man squatted on the steps, comfortably smoking a cigarette. He felt that no one was more unlucky than him, and it didn't seem like an act at all.

Why is the acting so fake?
Every day, all sorts of bad luck seems to befall him.

If the audience saw this, they'd probably curse him to death!
Xu Yuanming exhaled a puff of smoke, and suddenly a gust of wind rose up, hitting his face with it.

Tut tut...

Not very good.

Xu Yuanming didn't even go to evening self-study; he just squatted there by himself.

Others would keep their distance from him.

Xu Yuanming chuckled; he really had nothing to say at the moment.

Just then, a sentence suddenly popped into my head.

Do you want to know the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live?

Xu Yuanming rolled his eyes. It seemed that even the unlucky God Space had come looking for him.

"roll."

Now, death doesn't matter anymore; anyone who goes through this would feel good.

Do you want to know the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live?

"Damn it, I told you to get out, why are you still here! Do you believe I'll tear it down later?"

"Begin the strangulation, strangle..."

Before it could finish speaking, the thing's voice disappeared.

Xu Yuanming finished his cigarette and chuckled, "Look at you. I told you to get lost, but I'm just unlucky today. Even if a myth were to descend, it would be destroyed, let alone you."

He stood up, stretched, and suddenly, he twisted his back.

Xu Yuanming seemed unfazed, continuing on his usual path as if nothing had happened. It didn't bother him, and he strode forward as before.

Suddenly, everything went black.

After opening his eyes, Xu Yuanming looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and chuckled.

"Look, I've even traveled through time!"

After saying that, he shivered and quickly hid, knowing that saving his own life was the most important thing...

What he didn't know was that behind this unfortunate man, there was a young man who looked exactly like him, smiling at him.

Little did he know that he would embark on a path to becoming invincible.

This epic saga has officially begun...
