From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

"what?"

"Is it a fairy?"

"If he is not an immortal, he still has a chance of survival. If he is an immortal, he will die at her hands even if he escapes to the ends of the earth!"

A trace of shock appeared on Xiao Minghuang's face.

The origin of the Immortal List is actually like this!

"Eight mountains and nine seas were destroyed. The Immortal List records three thousand Immortal Kings who died at the hands of the Emperor of Heaven... No, it should be said that they died under the interference of the Great Dao. There are also seventeen Immortal Lords, Immortal Sovereigns, True Immortals... countless!"

"In the era of the Eight Mountains and Nine Seas, there were no other life worlds in the universe. All living beings in the entire universe only existed within the Eight Mountains and Nine Seas. At the same time, there were almost no living beings below the immortal path... They only accounted for a small part, and even if there was no interference, they would naturally achieve immortality sooner or later."

Hearing this, a shocking guess suddenly emerged in Xiao Minghuang's mind.

"You mean, are you saying that after the Emperor of Heaven kills everyone, there are only thirty-three people left in the entire universe?!"

"That's not the case. Although almost all living beings were concentrated in the Eight Mountains and Nine Seas at that time, there were still some people who were outside the realm, or had other roots and escaped the disaster."

“But from now on, the number of people who survived the Eight Mountains and Nine Seas Era, not counting the Emperor himself, should be thirty-two Heavenly Lords, plus the seventeen ancestors of the super-large star regions, a total of forty-nine people.”

"All these high and mighty celestial masters and immortal masters in the heavens today were just mortals at that time. Some of them were even still learning to speak and to walk, so they were able to escape the disaster."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang felt confused.

Could it be that the cosmic avenue was interfering with the course of the universe so directly and brutally?

In order to ensure its own survival, it launched a world-destroying catastrophe!

In the popular discourse in the universe today, it is said that it was the great help from the Heavenly Lords of all realms and the ancestors of all star regions to the Emperor of Heaven that finally overthrew the brutal rule of the eight mountains and nine seas.

But in the mouth of Xiantian Yuegui, the brutality of the eight mountains and nine seas was fake, and the great help from the Heavenly Lords and Immortal Lords in all realms was also fake.

But Xiao Minghuang is not a fool, and of course he can hear the loopholes in this narrative.

"Why would the Emperor of Heaven authorize the Heavenly Lords and Immortal Lords of all realms to manage the universe? Wouldn't it be better for him to hold all the power by himself?"

Xiao Minghuang asked.

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits; when the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind!"

Xiantian Yuegui said four idioms in a row, "Since the Emperor of Heaven has become a pawn of the Great Dao, how can he escape so easily?"

"Um..."

Xiao Minghuang was silent.

"Let me ask you a question first."

"what is the problem?"

"You should know that both the Great Dao of the Universe and the Heavenly Dao of the various worlds have their own wills, but they cannot express their wills independently and need to go through a medium. For the various worlds, these are some world masters, and for the Great Dao of the Universe, this medium is the Heavenly Emperor."

"So, what is the will of the heavens of all realms and the great way of the universe that they want to achieve?"

"Of course it is to expand one's own existence!"

Xiao Minghuang said without hesitation.

"wrong!"

Xiantian Yuegui shook his head: "The will of the universe is not to expand itself. If it was purely for the purpose of expanding itself, then it would not interfere with the expansion process of the eight mountains and nine seas."

"It should be said that all manifestations of the will of the Great Dao are for the purpose of continuing its own existence."

"He enlightens all living beings and enlightens all things in order to continue His own existence. Without all living beings, the Great Dao would have nothing to carry and would be annihilated into nothingness."

"He destroys everything and slaughters all living things in order to continue himself. If all things prosper and all living things multiply, and if it exceeds the limit that the universe can bear, it will cause a great collapse, which will be the restart of the universe, and the Great Dao will no longer exist."

"Makes sense."

Xiao Minghuang nodded and continued listening.

"So, after the destruction of the eight mountains and nine seas, the biggest destabilizing factor in the universe changed from a group of people to one person, and that person is the Emperor of Heaven."

"The situation that the will of the Great Dao hopes to see the most is not that the immortal path prospers and everyone lives forever and is free and at ease."

"Instead, everyone's life span is limited to a certain range, and it cannot be exceeded no matter what. Moreover, the number of immortals must be so large that there are hundreds of millions of mortals to one immortal."

"For ordinary cultivators, no matter how many mortals there are, they are not as good as a hair of an immortal. But for the will of the Great Dao, the source bonus that can be fed back by mortals to a certain extent is actually the same."

"So, it is obvious what the will of the Great Dao wants to achieve."

Xiao Minghuang nodded slightly, as if he understood something.

"Infinitely many mortals...Mortals have no cultivation, and cannot expand the world they live in, nor can they cause a great collapse. At the same time, mortals age, get sick, and die very quickly, and they cannot accumulate enough power to bring about change. But as long as there are enough of them, they can also achieve the feedback effect that the will of the Great Dao hopes for."

"Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven became the greatest threat to the will of the Great Dao at that time."

"He wants to eliminate the existence of the Emperor of Heaven!"

"But the Emperor of Heaven is too powerful. He is a chess piece cultivated by the will of the Great Dao. He is difficult to destroy. We can only let time to polish him."

"During the long battle, the will of the Great Dao supported a new chess piece, which is now the Supreme Lord of All Realms!"

"Among them, the Heavenly Lords of the Upper Three Heavens made great contributions!"

Xiantian Yuegui smiled softly: "These people, before they even solved the enemy, they started fighting among themselves..."

"But I'm not sure about the twists and turns here..."

Having said that, Xiantian Yuegui stopped her narration.

"What a great story..." Xiao Minghuang murmured, looking at Xiantian Yuegui as if he was looking at a stranger.

"So, what's your story?"

"Who are you?"

Xiao Minghuang's voice was plain, but it had a strange penetrating power that could see through everything about her.

Xiantian Yuegui's eyes flickered continuously.

After a moment, she looked at Xiao Minghuang solemnly and said, "If you hand over the Immortal List to me, I will tell you all the truth without hiding anything!"

"If this thing is important to you, then take it!"

Xiao Minghuang did not hesitate much. He waved his hand and a golden scroll appeared on his palm. Then, he pushed it in front of Xiantian Yuegui.

See this scene.

Xiantian Yuegui was also surprised. She opened her red lips slightly and said in disbelief, "You...you just gave it to me like that?"

"The Immortal List is of no use to me, but if my friend Yue needs it, I can certainly give it to her."

Xiao Minghuang said calmly, as if what he was giving away was not some amazing treasure, but an ordinary little gift.

Xiantian Yuegui was shocked, but quickly suppressed her emotions.

She did not accept the Immortal List, but pushed it back.

"Take it back. I feel relieved when I see you."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned immediately, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Xiantian Yuegui.

"Don't worry. With our relationship, it might be safer for me to keep it with you than for me to keep it with myself."

Xiantian Yuegui smiled slightly, with a hint of determination hidden deep in her eyes.

"Well."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Minghuang took back the Immortal List.

"But, if the time comes and you need my help, little princess, please don't hesitate to help me!"

Xiantian Yuegui blinked and looked at Xiao Minghuang with a smile.

Xiao Minghuang nodded.

Next, Xiantian Yuegui will tell the story that truly belongs to her.

After hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's face was full of complexity.

It turns out that the origin of the innate laurel is extremely ancient. It is an innate creature formed by the first ray of Taiyin energy born between heaven and earth and the laurel fairy tree when chaos was created.

It should be said that Xiantian Yuegui did not deceive her.

However, at that time, A Yue herself did not know that her roots were so ancient.

So much so that even she herself had forgotten it.

For many things, it was only after a recent incident that I finally recovered my memory and recalled the stories of the past.

......

a long time ago.

It was so long that the pattern of eight mountains and nine seas had not yet been formally formed, and even the boundary of the void had not yet appeared.

At that time, the laurel had not yet developed any intelligence, it was just a laurel tree rooted in a desolate dead star.

Although she is intelligent, she is ignorant and unaware of the world. She just relies on instinct to slowly absorb the vitality of the outside world.

And so it goes, year after year, day after day.

Until, one day.

A sharp buzzing sound resounded throughout the universe.

After that day.

The world has changed.

The stars in the sky became clearer.

The omnipresent chaos and nothingness were gradually expelled and banished to the endless distance.

The vitality in the void is becoming more and more intense.

One day by chance.

A mysterious being walks the universe.

He steps on the myriad paths of heaven, with billions of stars above his head. Wherever His gaze reaches, flowers bloom in the void and all things revive.

For an instant.

Laurel felt it, a gentle, motherly gaze falling on her.

When she looked up, she could only see a pair of clear and pure eyes, so beautiful that it was breathtaking, holy and flawless, containing infinite mystery and vastness, the kind of extraordinary eyes that made people wish they could be trapped in those eyes forever.

It was as if he was the Lord of Creation of all things!

The laurel tree blossomed brilliantly at that moment. It was cheering and leaping for joy, expressing gratitude to the owner of those eyes.

But soon, those eyes moved away from her.

Those eyes looked at all living things and would not stay on any one creature for too long.

Those eyes seemed not to belong to this world, yet seemed to be above all the heavens and overlooking all living things, without any sadness or joy.

After that day.

Her body began to transform. Osmanthus flowers sprouted from the branches, fruits grew from the buds, and streams of life essence burst out from her body.

Her vitality began to climb, soaring all the way.

till the end.

Eight mountains and nine seas gradually took shape, and she became the most famous being in the Second Mountain.

Therefore, she was called by people at that time——

Tai Chi Xiantian Daqing Guang Immortal!

587. Emperor of Heaven

......

for a long time.

Xiao Minghuang slowly closed her eyes and calmed down. This past was too shocking, even her state of mind was still somewhat shocked after learning about it.

turn out to be....

The best friend she had always regarded as her closest friend turned out to be an ancient being from all over the mountains and seas!
