I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

Xu Yi assured him that the Immortal Emperor could reflect the heavens and revive people and things from the past, even an era or a piece of ancient history.

Unfortunately, the situation of the Willow Goddess is special and cannot be reflected.

"Was I still myself back then?" Willow God asked.

Xu Yi remained silent. Regardless of whether it was a reflection of the heavens or some other method of resurrection, at the moment of true resurrection, would that person still be the same as before? Perhaps it was just a projection of the past, or something else entirely.

“It’s you.” Xu Yi grasped Liu Shen’s hand, his gaze firm and unwavering.

Liu Shen smiled, her pale lips slightly parted, she uttered a silent sentence, then fell into Xu Yi's arms, smiling as she departed from this world.

At this moment, heaven and earth were silent, time and space stood still, and a thunderclap resounded throughout the myriad realms.

Xu Yi remained silent, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves and endless storms. This emotion directly reflected the entire universe, filled with pain and anger!

Boom!

The heavens and myriad realms trembled and swayed as if about to collapse. Countless great realms were affected by this emotional force and vanished like bubbles.

Now, in the past, and in the future, many timelines have felt this supreme power, and their expressions are filled with shock.

Having spent millennia together and a century together, Xu Yi had long since developed feelings for Liu Shen that went beyond friendship.

The same was true for Liu Shen; however, in the end, neither of them broke through the final barrier.

Liu Shen knew that Xu Yi had too many female confidantes.

Therefore, Liu Shen kept this feeling buried in her heart until her death, and finally took it with her when she left this world.

She is unique and irreplaceable.

Xu Yi knew this, which is why he felt even more pain and self-blame after his death.

“I told you, I will bring you back to life, Willow Goddess.”

Xu Yi made a coffin for Liu Shen and placed her inside.

Although her lifespan had come to an end, Xu Yi still used a heaven-defying forbidden technique to forcibly retain Liu Shen's primordial spirit, sealing a wisp of its weak origin within her physical body.

As long as Xu Yi continues to nourish this source with the source of the sacrificial path, it will never perish. When Xu Yi breaks through to the sacrificial path in the future, he can revive it. At that time, the Willow God will still be the Willow God, not a projection!

For the next ten thousand years, Xu Yi stayed in this small world and did not leave.

It wasn't until ten thousand years later, when the aura of an Immortal Emperor reappeared in all the heavens and myriad realms, that Xu Yi awoke in shock.

He raised his hand and refined this world, carrying it with him at all times.

They teleported to the place where the new Immortal Emperor was born, which was the universe of Shrouding the Heavens.

For ten thousand years, without any strange invasions, the entire Shrouding the Heavens universe has continuously evolved, and its scale has long surpassed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Immortal Realm of the Immortal Ancient Era!

Over these ten thousand years, many true immortals and numerous immortal kings have been born in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

For example, the Stone Emperor, the lord of the Undying Mountain who had submitted to him back then, finally cultivated to the Immortal King realm!

The rising star Yan Ruyu also cultivated to the Immortal King realm, reaching this level even faster than her ancestor, the Azure Emperor, thanks in no small part to the help of the Great Dao Chat Group.

However, it cannot be denied that Yan Ruyu's talent is also aided by the Great Dao Chat Group.

Yao Xi, Jiang Taixu, and Gai Jiuyou are still at the True Immortal realm.

And this newly appointed Immortal Emperor of ten thousand years is none other than the Great Emperor Wushi.

This is the second Immortal Emperor since the Ruthless Empress!

Looking across all the heavens and myriad realms, a world possessing two Immortal Emperors is extremely rare.

In particular, the two of them can almost simultaneously deal with two opponents of the same level, making their combat power incredibly strong.

Emperor Wushi was roused and roared to the sky, "Father, I have not let you down, I did it!"

“You have done very well, Wushi.”

Xu Yi appeared beside Wu Shi, his eyes filled with relief.

Upon seeing Xu Yi again, the Great Emperor Wushi was shocked. "Father, what's wrong?!"

At this moment, Xu Yi looked extremely haggard and worn out, completely unlike his previous spirited self.

More importantly, Xu Yi's hair was completely white, and his eyes showed little emotion, as if he had suffered a huge blow.

What exactly happened during the ten thousand years that my father disappeared?

"elder brother."

The ruthless empress arrived and also noticed Xu Yi's change.

Also, there are Ye Fan, Di Zun, Xu Qiong, Jiang Taixu, and others!

They had come to observe the process of the Great Emperor Wushi breaking through to the Immortal Emperor, but they did not expect Xu Yi to suddenly return.

"Brother Yi? You?" Ye Fan sensed that Xu Yi seemed extremely exhausted, both physically and mentally, with extreme pain hidden in his eyes.

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry." Xu Yi forced a smile.

But everyone is not stupid; how could they not know that a major change had occurred to Xu Yi?

Since Xu Yi didn't say it, they didn't press him further.

……

Chapter 435 Without Beginning, the Emperors Compete for Supremacy Among the Heavens

Since Wushi became the Immortal Emperor, time has passed like an arrow, and several thousand years have gone by. Emperor Zun has become the third being in the Shrouding the Heavens universe to become an Immortal Emperor.

After congratulating him, Xu Yi returned to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone.

For thousands of years, he spent most of his time in the desolate ancient forbidden zone comprehending the realm above the Dao of Sacrifice, in order to revive the Willow God as soon as possible.

Although there was no bottleneck in Xu Yi's understanding of the sacrificial rites.

However, even after several thousand years, it is still not enough to enter this realm.

Over thousands of years, Xu Yi's strength has been increasing without end, constantly undergoing quantitative changes, but lacking the final qualitative leap.

During these thousands of years of seclusion, he didn't even frequently enter the Great Dao Chat Group.

However, Xu Yi discovered that tens of thousands of years had passed in his world, while time seemed to have stopped in the worlds of the other members, and not much time had passed.

His mindset has changed; he has become lonely. If it were the old him, he would definitely appear in the group and interact with the members, but now he rarely appears. If no member contacts him, he almost never shows up.

Moreover, at his level, the Great Dao Chat Group could no longer offer him much assistance.

The cultivation functions of the Great Dao Palace are not very helpful for breakthroughs above the Sacrifice Dao realm; entering this realm requires relying solely on oneself.

On this day, the Great Emperor Wushi and the Emperor Venerable arrived at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone.

Xu Yi knew their purpose for coming with just one glance.

"Wu Shi, Ping An, do you two intend to go to the Shang Cang Shang to conquer the plateau?" Xu Yi asked.

Currently, the Shrouding the Heavens universe can be said to be the most powerful force under the entire Heavenly Plateau, with many potential powers, and it may even be no weaker than the plateau itself.

After all, the Ten Ancestors and the Ten Immortal Emperors were nothing but a figurehead in front of Xu Yi.

If it weren't for the plateau's will having rules beyond the half-step sacrificial path, Xu Yi would have already annihilated the plateau with a single palm strike.

“Father, with our current strength, it is still not enough to conquer the plateau. But if we can reclaim the heavens and save the other worlds occupied by the plateau, it will be more than enough,” said the Great Emperor Wushi.

"What Wushi said is correct. Ninety percent of the myriad realms are under the control of the plateau. And most of these areas are not guarded by Immortal Emperors. We can completely take them over and then use the resources of the heavens to nourish our world, making our universe the number one realm in the heavens." The Emperor was ambitious, with flames burning in his eyes.

The plateau only has ten Immortal Emperors. Immortal Emperors do not easily make a move. Most worlds are guarded by mysterious Dao Ancestors, who are quasi-Immortal Emperor level experts.

With the power of the Emperor Wushi, he could easily sweep aside all opposition.

“Okay, you can go ahead.” Xu Yi agreed and did not stop them.

Both of them are already Immortal Emperors, among the top-tier powerhouses in the heavens. They no longer need his protection and it is time for them to create their own world.

Not long after, Wushi, the Emperor, led the True Immortals and even Immortal Kings of the Supreme Palace to conquer the heavens.

In addition, in order to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, Ye Fan may send them on a campaign together.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, Ye Fan has cultivated the Immortal King realm to perfection and has begun to truly forge his own path, moving towards becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

However, the environment of the Shrouding the Heavens universe is too mild. There have been no major wars in recent years, making it almost impossible to cultivate in seclusion to the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Before they both became Immortal Emperors, Emperor Zun and Emperor Wushi secretly went to the heavens to find lone, strange Quasi-Immortal Emperors to fight!

At that time, the ruthless empress secretly covered for her, so no crisis occurred.

In the following centuries, the names of Wushi and Dizun became renowned throughout the heavens. The two joined forces and were unstoppable, successively recovering many great realms above the heavens as well as other immortal domains.

These great realms are all inhabited by living beings, but the highest realm is the True Immortal Realm. They are enslaved by the strange race for many years and cannot break through.

Although the strange race often holds grand sacrifices to the heavens, offering countless lives as sacrifices, they have not killed them all. They have basically left behind a spark, which they harvest every tens of thousands of years or one or two eras. A world only needs about ten thousand years to give birth to billions of lives again.

Faced with the sudden emergence of Wushi, the Emperor, and the Gaoyuan clan launched a counterattack, sending four Immortal Emperors to lead a hundred Dao Ancestors and countless True Immortals to besiege them.

When Wushi and Dizun joined forces, they were completely no match for the four strange immortal emperors.

However, only a few weak individuals can reach the Immortal Emperor realm.

Even for the Great Emperor Wushi, it would take a great deal of effort to completely kill a strange Immortal Emperor.

Therefore, this war became a contest between those below the Celestial Emperor!

The number of experts below the Immortal Emperor level far surpasses that of the Mysterious Clan in the entire universe of Shrouding the Heavens. In a short time, Wushi and the Emperor's forces suffered repeated defeats.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ye Fan, who was besieged by several Immortal Kings, broke through in the face of danger and advanced to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, sweeping away many strange forces and bringing a turning point to the battle.

Not long after, Wushi, the Emperor's camp received a new and powerful ally.

After many centuries, the corpse of the first emperor of all time, the Immortal Emperor, has returned. He joins Wushi's side to fight against the strange race.

With the combined power of three top-tier Immortal Emperors—Corpse Immortal Emperor, Wushi, and Emperor Venerable—they launched a thunderous counterattack against the four powerful Immortal Emperors of the Mysterious Clan.

They eventually killed two of them, and the remaining two escaped in a sorry state with their remaining troops.

After this battle, the heavens were temporarily at peace. Even though Wushi and Dizun continued to reclaim the great worlds occupied by the strange race, no powerful figures from the strange race emerged.

Since the beginning of time, the Emperor brought the resources of all the heavens back to nourish his own universe, and the Shrouding the Heavens universe evolved once again, becoming a true immortal realm.

Once upon a time, only one emperor, one supreme being, could emerge in this place in any era.

Now, with abundant life-growth material, the laws of immortality are evolving in the world.

Those with extraordinary talent can become emperors in a thousand years. Even if they cannot find their own path, becoming a supreme being is not a big problem.

Today, the Beidou, Donghuang, Beiyu, Zhongzhou, and Nanyu regions are home to many great religions and holy sites.

The sect leader is at least at the Supreme Realm, and the ancestors and elders above them must be True Immortals.

Unfortunately, over tens of thousands of years, the new generation of young people did not know the secrets of the heavens, nor did they know that their world had been invaded by a strange race.

They were unaware that the strongest being in their world was already waging war against all the heavens, fighting for the sake of all living beings.

The environment of the entire Shrouding the Heavens universe is too comfortable, and in such an environment, internal struggles are naturally inevitable.

For example, the disciples of the Holy Land of Shaking Light and the disciples of the Ancient Jiang Family fought fiercely for a supreme inheritance.

Two long-standing factions escalated their conflict due to the infighting among their disciples, eventually erupting into a true supreme battle, even a battle at the level of True Immortals.

In the end, it was only when the bystander, the Holy Maiden of Emperor Dou, and the God King Jiang Taixu stepped in that the situation was brought under control.

Only then did the two major forces realize that their own ancestor and the other's ancestor actually had a very good relationship, and they were filled with shame.

"Senior God King, have you seen Master Xu Yi in these thousands of years?"

In a traditional-style teahouse, Yao Xi and Jiang Taixu sat together reminiscing.

Jiang Taixu shook his head, "After Emperor Wushi became an Immortal Emperor, Fellow Daoist Xu Yi made a brief appearance, and then there was no news of him."
