The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Beside the Emperor's throne stood a full forty-odd people, all belonging to the Prodigy Group.

They stood on golden steps constructed of spiritual energy, one person for every two steps.

There are a total of ninety-nine steps.

This was a gift they secretly prepared for Chi Miao.

Whenever Chi Miao walked up to them, they would present her with a carefully prepared gift. Although it wasn't particularly valuable, it contained the feelings they had for Chi Miao over the years.

This generation of prodigies is not only dazzling with Chi Miao and his six companions, but also with more than forty members, each of whom has the potential to become a giant in their own right in the future.

They accompanied Chi Miao on her travels throughout the country, and were the second group of family members Chi Miao had after entering the world of cultivation. They occupied the majority of Chi Miao's emotions.

Chi Miao was deeply moved.

Jin Shengfei, who was at the top, had clearly just arrived and was waving to Chi Miao, panting heavily, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and come on up!"

Chi Miao suddenly thought of many things.

Thinking back to when she met Jin Shengfei, they climbed the Heavenly Ladder together during the second trial of entering Nine Swords Mountain. Back then, Jin Shengfei wasn't like he is now; he was much more clumsy.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Jin Shengfei has grown into such a handsome and dashing young man.

He stood at the very top of the golden staircase, closest to the throne, with a bright smile and expectant eyes.

Back then, it was Chi Miao who helped him climb the Heavenly Ladder.

Now... he wants to help Chi Miao ascend to the throne!

Chi Miao's eyes burned with fervor, and he laughed, then a black ball appeared in his hand.

This black sphere is what Zhan Wangtian, the leader of the Immortal Alliance, just mentioned—something that can connect with the sins of the common people.

She tried to infuse it with her spiritual power.

Her ascension to the throne is such a momentous event... the suffering of the people cannot be ignored.

……

Meanwhile, across countless planes, the sins of the common people are in a state of utter chaos.

According to the time calculation based on the procedure, Zhan Wangtian's body should be cold by now, but the prepared passage has not been opened for a long time. Could something have gone wrong?

The Demon of the Common People stroked his chin and clicked his tongue: "This Zhan Wangtian is truly useless. Does he not even know how to die? Or is it that... Chi Miao's current strength is simply not enough to kill Zhan Wangtian?"

"It's all that damned Tantric sect's fault, that damned Crimson Moon, that damned immortal..."

No numbers are omitted here.

If she continues to die, it will take several hours of chanting.

"I never imagined that the one with the weakest talent would orchestrate such a grand scheme... the Sword of Karma... the Immortal of Karma!"

"You think severing cause and effect will leave me helpless? I am, after all, a second-generation Heavenly Dao, a curse upon all living beings! As long as there is anyone in your Miaohua Continent who harbors negative thoughts, I will definitely seize the opportunity to invade. Sooner or later, I will be able to break in, and then... Chi Miao, you will surely die!"

She could sense that the immortal had erased the part of Chi Miao's soul that was subject to eternal reincarnation from the Yama Curse. Whether Chi Miao succeeded or not, this would only be her last life.

This is her best chance. As long as she kills Chi Miao, no one in the world will ever threaten her position again. She will forever be the Heavenly Dao, and no one can replace her!

Suddenly, the calamity of the common people noticed a black sphere shimmering, which made her eyes light up: "Hmm? Zhan Wangtian has news? Let me see... what's going on."

Her fingers touched the black sphere, which was extremely special and called the Dimensional Sphere... It was currently the only thing that could communicate with a specific person across time and space.

At the same time, one can also use the principles of time and space within it to connect with and devour a certain world.

Her initial idea was to use Zhan Wangtian's evil thoughts at the time of his death as a medium to open a passage, but Zhan Wangtian suddenly lost contact, which left her completely baffled.

The instant the black sphere magnified and the image appeared, she almost instinctively shouted:

"Zhan Wangtian, what exactly are you doing? Why haven't you succeeded yet? Time is precious, do you understand? Do you still want to become an immortal?!"

She kept her eyes closed to maintain the mystique of the second-generation Heavenly Dao.

However, at this moment, something happened that she couldn't understand at all.

A voice came from inside, but it didn't belong to Zhan Wangtian; it was a young girl's delicate voice, tinged with curiosity.

"Wow, you actually managed to get in touch! Hi girl, Moshi Moshi, do you know me?"

The sins of the common people were taken aback.

What is that?

When did Zhan Wangtian become a woman? Why does that voice sound so effeminate?

When I opened my eyes, I was immediately greeted by a pair of big, bright eyes right up close to my face.

Seemingly noticing that she was being watched, the other person abruptly pulled the camera away, and the fully revealed face made the wretch of the world unable to hold back and utter a curse:

"Holy crap, this is beautiful! Wasn't I using a dimensional sphere? How did it turn into a mirror?"

Chi Miao stood there for a while, her lips twitching.

Seriously, is everyone with this face not normal? This is ridiculous! She hasn't even started playing with abstract art yet, and this scourge of humanity has already begun.

Could it be that what is actually abstract is not Chi Sanshui herself, but the owner of this face?

Chi Miao commented: "Is this insane? Stop trying to flatter me."

Only then did the scourge of humanity suddenly come to his senses, his expression changing several times in an instant: surprise, astonishment, contemplation, and anger.

"Chi Miao—?!"

"How did the dimensional sphere end up on you? Where's Zhan Wangtian?!"

Chi Miao laughed, shaking her head as she walked up the golden stairs: "Oh, I finally recognized you! How are you doing, you little brat? How have you been lately? Have you been smashing your cosmetics in the dressing room?"

Although he didn't quite understand what Chi Miao meant by these words, he instinctively felt that they weren't good words.

She sneered, "You overestimate yourself. You're nothing more than someone who can't even be considered an immortal. Many of your past lives who became immortals died at my hands."

Chi Miao chuckled: "I didn't become an immortal, but... I'll show you something interesting."

After saying that, Chi Miao produced a small dragon radiating golden-white light in her hand. The dragon submissively moved around in her palm, and its aura was visibly powerful.

"An incarnation of the World's Will?!" Even the Demon of All Beings couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. This was the only existence capable of surpassing the Heavenly Dao. But she quickly recovered: "Hmph, now that Miaohua Continent is independent of other planes, this is merely the World's Will of Miaohua Continent. What's there to boast about?"

Chi Miao's smile deepened: "Yes, although our Miaohua Continent is just a remote and impoverished place, I can still subdue the incarnation of the world's will before I even become an immortal. Unlike some second-generation Heavenly Dao, who is like a turtle and still subject to the rules of the world's will, that's enough."

The people's suffering was touched on a sore spot, and she immediately burst into a tirade: "You wretched girl—"

Before she could continue her tirade, Chi Miao laughed.

"Don't rush, I have something else to tell you."

"I've found a way to rebuild the new Celestial Court, and... all thanks to you."
