It's time to become a fairy.

As her senses gradually returned, and her vision was fully restored, Ye Qingge's consciousness returned to reality.

Feeling her power increase significantly after two hours of cultivation, she couldn't help but glance at her personal panel.

Name: Ye Qingge

[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Divine Breath Realm]

[Bloodline: Navigator]

[Cultivation Technique: Primordial Dao Scripture (Great Completion)]

[Divine Powers and Techniques: Five Elements Divine Powers, Level Two (Mastery), Soul Devouring Technique (Mastery), Supreme Saint Demon Pill Technique (Mastery), Initial Understanding of Sword Dao (Mastery), First Five Levels of Heavenly God Transformation (Mastery), Mysterious Heaven Sealing Magic Technique (Mastery), Soul-Hooking Technique (Mastery), Mind Illusion Technique (Mastery), Righteous Qi (Mastery), First Level of Yi Wood Spirit Restoration Technique (Minor Mastery)...]

Special Skills: Soul Binding Technique, Netherworld Space, Lord of the Underworld

"This time, the Empress has accomplished quite a lot during her free travels. Her Supreme Saint Demon Pill Technique has been upgraded to the Great Perfection, ranking only after the Soul Devouring Technique, and she is not far from the Great Perfection. In addition, through this period of cultivation, my cultivation level has also reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Divine Breath realm. I estimate that I will be able to break through to the late stage in less than eight hours of cultivation."

"But more importantly, the plan for the Empress's world has finally been completely completed. Now I can finally enter Su Qing'er's body to complete my final attempt!"

Her eyes flashed with a sharp light. She took a few deep breaths to calm her excited emotions before opening the system panel, selecting Su Qing'er, and clicking confirm.

Everything went black for a moment, and not long after returning to reality, Ye Qingge's consciousness left her body again. By the time her senses gradually returned, she was already inside Su Qing'er's body.

Fairy Exchange System

[Exchange participant: Southern Emperor Su Qing'er]

[An emergency has been detected with the exchanged object. Emergency mission initiated!]

[Urgent Mission: One month after the Heavenly Court's split, and after a month of effort and preparation, Su Qing'er is about to ascend to the rightful throne of the Supreme Emperor, supported by the Heavenly Court's officials. However, the traitorous Emperor Taihuang has a profound influence on all races and will not allow Su Qing'er to ascend the throne peacefully; he will undoubtedly try every means to sabotage the enthronement ceremony. Successfully gaining the recognition of all races and overcoming Taihuang's hidden dangers will complete the mission.]

[Task Rewards: 20000 points, Heavenly God Transformation Level 6, Demon God Transformation Level 1]

[Since this mission is divided into two parts, the rewards for the second part will be awarded as a bonus. The higher the mission rating, the richer the rewards!]

Visual perception slowly returned, and system messages refreshed one by one.

However, Ye Qingge only glanced at it before turning her attention away from the system panel. She looked around at the surrounding environment and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Judging from the decorations here... is this your imperial carriage? Qing'er, aren't you in the Heavenly Court right now?"

Chapter 103 Breaking Racial Barriers, Forging an Eternal Legacy

"No... This place is still within the territory of the Heavenly Court, but there was an abnormal fluctuation in the western sky of the Heavenly Court. The grandmasters of the Array Palace and several Heavenly Venerables were unable to calm it down. I and the Underworld Lord worked together to barely neutralize the array fluctuations, and also appeased some of the leaders of the myriad races of the heavens."

Su Qing'er spoke calmly, briefly explaining the reasons for her trip.

After the Heavenly Court was split by Taihuang, the Heavenly Court's formations frequently encountered problems, both large and small. Even when the formation masters and grandmasters who originally built the Heavenly Court's formations joined forces to restore them, it was still difficult to guarantee that the Heavenly Court could operate perfectly without any flaws. After all, there is a difference between building and repairing.

Creating is something that comes out of thin air; everyone just needs to create it through their own efforts and cooperation. But restoring it requires taking into account all aspects, such as the changes that have occurred in the Heavenly Court since its operation. Even the Heavenly Court's array masters cannot calculate everything without any omissions, and problems of all sizes will inevitably arise during the restoration process.

Her actions this time created a significant gap in the Western realm. Several Celestial Venerables were unable to stabilize the situation until Su Qing'er and the Underworld Lord joined forces to pinpoint the breach. The array masters then urgently repaired the gap. She also spent the remaining time visiting the leaders of the myriad realms residing in the Heavenly Court to appease them and prevent any unnecessary disruptions during the subsequent ascension to the throne.

Ye Qingge listened quietly, then suddenly said, "So, it seems there's less than a day left until you ascend the throne, Qing'er?"

Su Qing'er's tone was complicated: "To be more precise, there is still half a day left. At 10 a.m. six hours later, it will be the time when I officially ascend the throne as the Supreme Emperor."

Supreme Emperor!

Even just two or three months ago, Su Qing'er never imagined she would have the opportunity to ascend to this position. Back in the Eastern Continent, her only goal was to reach the territory of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, live a simple and ordinary life, and wait for the right time and higher cultivation levels to clear her mother's name and restore the reputation of the Fox Clan—that was her lifelong ambition.

But what she didn't expect was that this goal, which she had originally planned to strive for her whole life, was achieved in just a few months, and now she is about to ascend to the throne and become the new Supreme Emperor.

Becoming the Heavenly Emperor certainly carries immense danger, and countless battles will ensue with the rebellious Emperor Huang Taihuang who marched north. However, compared to the past, this situation is undoubtedly much better. At least she now has elite troops under her command and countless followers.

Su Qing'er hadn't forgotten who she owed her current situation to, and she had long since let go of the unpleasantness from last time, chatting with Ye Qingge about what had happened since she left.

Ye Qingge listened quietly. Compared to the Empress's peaceful life, Su Qing'er's life was much more difficult.

Although her ascension to the throne was legitimate and orthodox, she had never been to the Heavenly Court before and did not know much about the situation in the north. In the north, there was the rebellious Emperor Taihuang, and inside, there were countless leaders of the myriad races who harbored grievances and different intentions due to Taihuang's rule. Not all the celestial officials in the Heavenly Court were of one mind. Beset by internal and external troubles, she faced great difficulties.

"More importantly than all that, Qingya's consciousness hasn't reappeared these past few days, it's as if..."

Su Qing'er's voice was ethereal and complex, as if she had already overcome her psychological trauma, but Ye Qingge could still hear a deep sorrow hidden in it.

Ye Qingge didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only say, "Please accept my condolences."

"I've figured it out."

The complex emotions in Su Qing'er's voice suddenly dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief: "Qingya has passed away. I must inherit Qingya's will and not continue as before. I must fight tenaciously so as not to let down Qingya's sacrifice and the efforts of Father and Mother."

Her voice was clear and bright, completely unlike the naive feeling Ye Qingge had when they first met; it was as if she had grown up overnight.

In a daze, Ye Qingge seemed to see another Su Qingya, but unlike the original Su Qingya, she did not have a bad personality. It was as if the consciousnesses of the two had merged together, combining the strengths of both of them.

"That would be best. I'm sure they'll be pleased to see your performance."

Ye Qingge responded with a smile.

The imperial carriage, which was proceeding smoothly, suddenly trembled, interrupting their conversation. As the imperial carriage of the Supreme Emperor, it was no less impressive than that of the Empress. In fact, because its supernatural powers and magic were more advanced than those of the Empress's time, it far surpassed the Empress's Kaihuang era in terms of technology, and its exquisite craftsmanship was even greater.

It's one thing if it happens during a battle, but how could such a change occur within the Heavenly Court?

She raised an eyebrow slightly and summoned the maid at the door, asking, "Where in the Heavenly Court is my imperial carriage now? Why did the carriage tremble just now?"

The maidservant bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial carriage has now arrived at the first street after the entrance to the Western Heavenly Gate, on the Western Heavenly Street. The fluctuation just now should have been caused by the emergency repair of the nearby array."

"Has another flaw appeared in the formation?"

Ye Qingge keenly sensed something was wrong. Recalling what Su Qing'er had said, she asked, "I remember there weren't so many omissions half a month ago. How come there have been more and more omissions in the past half month?"

"Perhaps...perhaps it's because the formation is about to be completed, I don't know either."

The maid stammered, unable to give a precise answer.

Ye Qingge had no intention of making things difficult for the maid. She rubbed her temples and said, "Pass down the order to have the imperial carriage stop next to my mother's residence. I have something to attend to."

The maidservant, feeling as if she had been granted a pardon, quickly withdrew. A short while later, the imperial carriage entered a vast mansion.

Once out of sight of everyone, Ye Qingge went to her bedroom to rest for a while. After dismissing the maids and guards at the door and making sure that no one could detect what was happening in the bedroom, she used her clone technique to conceal her aura and transform into the form of a bird, fish, or insect to quickly leave the Heavenly Court and head to the place where the Empress had previously hidden the sacred weapon to retrieve it.

In fact, Su Qing'er could have retrieved the sacred weapon without resorting to the underhanded tactics of the Empress. However, the series of unusual events in the Heavenly Court alerted her. Combined with the system's prompts, she found it difficult not to connect these anomalies with the possible contingency plans left by Taihuang. The turmoil in the Heavenly Court had only just begun, so she had to proceed with caution.

After her clone left the Heavenly Court and she confirmed that no one had noticed its abnormality, she finally had time to open the system panel to check Su Qing'er's current cultivation level.

Name: Su Qing'er

[Bloodline: Heavenly Emperor Bloodline, Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Bloodline]

[Cultivation Level: Fourth Level of Dao Realm]

[Cultivation Method: Primordial Daoist Canon (Great Perfection)]

[Skills: Charm (Great Perfection), Demon God Transformation (Great Perfection), Celestial God Transformation (Great Perfection), Celestial Fox Demon Fire (Great Perfection), Soul Devouring Technique (Great Perfection)...]

Compared to the previous panel, Su Qing'er's panel has undergone significant changes. After her combat power reached the sixth level of the Dao Realm, it seems she triggered the unlocking conditions for the seal, causing the sealed state to disappear. In addition, after the system upgrade, Su Qing'er's cultivation techniques were also listed separately.

However, these were all minor matters. What truly caught Ye Qingge's attention was Su Qing'er's cultivation level.

"Haven't we observed her for a while? Su Qing'er's cultivation level has already risen from the third level to the sixth level... Well, Su Qing'er's Soul Devouring Technique is effective. She was able to gain a third level of cultivation even in the home of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. With the resources of the Heavenly Court, it's normal for her to rise to the sixth level."

"With the strength of the early stage of the fourth level of the Dao Realm, this means that she doesn't need to activate the ninth level of the Heavenly God Transformation. Even if she consumes a portion of her original consciousness power to activate the eighth level of the Heavenly God Transformation, Su Qing'er's strength can still reach the sixth level of the Dao Realm. Previously, after activating the ninth level of the Heavenly God Transformation, Su Qingya's consciousness completely dissipated. In comparison, the consumption of the eighth level is much more acceptable!"

Her eyes gleamed as she calculated the detailed plan for this operation, while simultaneously practicing her skills.

One hour later

When the clone arrived at the designated location, Ye Qingge focused most of her attention on the clone. Through the clone's gaze, she discovered that the area she had calculated was no longer the mountains and rivers where she had ambushed with the Empress clone, but had become a surging river, no less large than the Demon Saint River, and even a bit longer!

With a width of over 30,000 zhang, it resembled a vast ocean, with countless rivers flowing endlessly, making it difficult for her to discern her original ambush location.

She looked troubled and rubbed her temples: "The time of the Empress is countless millennia ago. It's normal for the terrain to have changed, but this makes it impossible to find the original landmarks. It's much more troublesome to search for them now."

"It seems I can only search for it little by little. I wonder if the magical holy weapon I left behind will survive after such a long time!"

I grumbled to myself, but I still had to do what I had to do.

After spending half an hour searching, they finally found the holy weapon that the Empress had hidden somewhere in the river. By the time they returned to the Heavenly Court, two and a half hours had passed.

For two and a half hours, maids frequently mustered the courage to knock on the door, wanting to inform Ye Qingge that her coronation ceremony was approaching, but Ye Qingge always managed to deflect them with excuses, continuing to practice her supernatural powers and techniques inside the door. Only when her clone returned did she stop what she was doing, stand up, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes: "Next, we should see if the contingency plans left over from the Empress's era can affect Su Qing'er's era. If something from countless millennia ago can be passed down, its operability will be extraordinary..."

With his hands forming hand seals, he used his supernatural powers and magic, based on his memories of possessing the Empress, to break the current seals one by one.

Ten minutes later

A spirit sword and an ancient zither, two demon-slaying holy weapons forged by the Empress, appeared in Ye Qingge's field of vision. Even after countless millennia, the two Dao artifacts were still completely undamaged, and even had a lustrous sheen on them, as if they had just been forged.

Su Qing'er sensed curiosity and asked, "What are these two Dao artifacts...?"

"The key I'll need for my upcoming coronation!"

Ye Qingge revealed a mysterious smile: "You'll see how useful it is when the time comes."

Sensing the discomfort and annoyance emanating from Su Qing'er's consciousness, Ye Qingge smiled with pleasure and gently stroked the guqin. The ancient jade guqin technique she obtained from Feng Lingxiu gave her a way to use this uncommon Dao artifact. Although she wasn't particularly proficient, the key to her use of this type of Dao artifact wasn't the guqin technique itself, but rather using it to unleash the purifying effects of Righteous Qi and the Heavenly God Transformation!

The melodious and ancient sound of the zither echoed in the room. Ye Qingge quietly enjoyed the peace and tranquility brought by the pleasant music. However, before she had played for a while, she suddenly frowned: "This music seems to be different from the one I tested in the Heavenly Crafts Temple. There seems to be some slight difference."

"Is it due to differences in physical characteristics leading to subtle differences in sensory perception, or are there other reasons I'm unaware of?"

Upon closer inspection, the guqin seemed to have a slightly more lustrous feel than when she sealed it, and the other spirit sword also seemed to be subtly different, though it was hard to pinpoint exactly what the difference was.

Ye Qingge then looked at the previous packaging and seal. The details were exactly the same as what she had done back then, and there was no trace of anyone else tampering with it.

Before she could examine the situation closely, the maid's voice came from outside the door again, tinged with a hint of tears and anxiety: "Your Majesty, there are only three hours left. The Underworld King is already waiting in the mansion's reception hall and is walking this way, preparing to invite Your Majesty to participate in the coronation ceremony. Your Majesty, what do you think..."

"I understand."

Ye Qingge collected her thoughts, responded, and briefly tested the effects of the two anti-demon holy weapons. After confirming that they were effective, she put them away and shook her head, saying, "Besides me, only the Empress knows the secret of anti-demon holy weapons. If someone really tampered with them, it would be impossible for them not to leave any flaws. What I felt just now must have been an illusion."

"The use of the holy weapon is also fine; now our attention should be focused on the coronation ceremony!"

She took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and stepped out the door.

At the entrance, Mingjun was already standing there, having waited for an unknown amount of time. Only when Ye Qingge arrived did he bow to her.

Ye Qingge laughed and waved her hand, saying, "I've kept the Underworld Lord waiting. Let's go."

The Underworld King didn't dwell on the matter, but instead chatted with Ye Qingge about the details of the enthronement ceremony that had been circulating. The two then boarded their respective imperial carriages and headed towards the Heavenly Palace of Lingxiao.

Three hours, or six hours, is neither a short nor a long time. The time for getting dressed and prepared passed quickly.

As the coronation ceremony drew near, the entire Lingxiao Palace became increasingly lively. Originally, the struggle between Taihuang and Su Qing'er involved too many powerful figures from across the myriad realms to participate. However, the coronation ceremony was different; the ascension of a new emperor concerned the future of the entire Heavenly Court and all races, so no one dared to fail to attend!

Unlike the Empress's ascension to the throne, the Supreme Emperor Heavenly Court was in a state of great unity before the Taihuang split. Even the leaders of thousands of races had official divine positions conferred by the Heavenly Court. Even if it was just a nominal position, it was enough for them to occupy a place in the Lingxiao Palace.

One by one, the leaders of all races under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court gathered here. Each of them was no weaker than the Dao Realm. The number of Dao Realm immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace alone exceeded 30,000, which fully demonstrated the Heavenly Court's strength.

Before the ceremony began, the leaders of all races gathered here and talked. On the surface, it was just simple polite conversation, but many races with ulterior motives had already begun to secretly contact each other. Beneath the prosperous scene, there was an undercurrent of turmoil, just waiting for the right moment to erupt into an unprecedented wave.
