Emperor's Domination Verse~
Desolate Era~
Heaven Spirit World~
Burial Ground - Bonesea…
After the Boneship reached a part where the group could land and try to find some treasures or even creations, the group strolled like taking a walk in the park after instructing Immortal Emperor Gu Chun on how to break the world barrier and open the space bridge from the Nine Worlds to the Tenth World and connect them so he could ascend to the Tenth World, Immortal Emperor Gu Chun tried doing it but only to fail miserably.
Not knowing what to do, he looked at Silver hoping to tell him what he did wrong.
Silver sighed, "Use your Heaven's Will! And your Heaven's Will Secret Law to break the world barrier!" annoyed since he had already explained it to him, but Immortal Emperor Gu Chun seemingly forgot.
"Right. But how were you able to open the bridge so easily?" remembering how Silver easily tore open the void and broke the world's barrier before.
"I'm different, unlike you all are. Now try it again," he said.
Different? Immortal Emperor Gu Chun wondered but didn't ask further and readied himself once again. But before he could do so, Silver remembered that since his arrival in the Cycling Verse, and remembering about what the system told him about the 'butterfly effect', stopped him and said: "Wait. Before you ascend, let me clarify something." remembering something that would stop Immortal Gu Chun from ascending, namely the 'Hunt'.
"I'm all ears," replied Immortal Emperor Gu Chun.
Taking a deep breath, Silver spoke and said: "Ascending to the Tenth World is not as simple as your all familiar Nine Worlds. As you travel to the world's bridge, some Emperors would try to block and prevent you from reaching the Tenth World, and if you could defeat them and reach the Tenth World, you might not want to come back here, to the Nine Worlds again."
Hearing the word 'Emperors' piqued Immortal Emperor Gu Chun's interest. Wondering what Silver meant when he said Emperors, he asked; "What do you mean by Emperors? Are there other Immortal Emperors up there, I mean, in the Tenth World?"
Silver nodded and said, "There are. There's too many to count and most of them are too arrogant, but there are those who just want to enjoy life while some are hiding. If you ascend like taking a tour, then don't. Better get ready to fight because they might kill you." He finished with a grin making Immortal Emperor Gu Chun face grim while his companions are shocked speechless.
To them, once one reaches and bears the Heaven's Will to become an Immortal Emperor, none could defeat them, but hearing what Silver said, they could only look at Immortal Emperor Gu Chun with worry.
He then added; "But don't worry. I'll come with you this time." he said. 'I'm partly to blame about it anyway.' he thought.
Hearing his reassurance, the group heaved a sigh of relief. But Immortal Emperor Gu Chun asked; "Why would they stop us or anyone from ascending, anyway?"
"Well… Someone from the Ming Clan pissed me off, calling themselves as dragons that will rule everything, so I killed him. And after learning that I came from the Nine Worlds, they started blocking the path. Man, that time was fun - I nearly annihilated them when their Emperor's rallied against me." Silver laughed like it was nothing.
"Ming Clan? Emperors rallied against you? Then how come you're still… still all right?" Immortal Emperor Gu Chun asked in disbelief, looking at Silver like he's some kind of monster.
"Well. I'm far stronger than them. Lucky for them, a friend, a Divine Emperor from the Divine Race, stopped me from killing them all." he said.
Immortal Emperor Gu Chun once again asked; "Divine Race?"
"Yes… You will see them later anyway, so it's better to see than hearing it from me." replied Silver while giving another lollipop to his disciple Lin Xie.
"Where do we go now? I thought you didn't come here to find treasures?" asked the beauty Ling'er.
"Hmm… I forgot to take the Marrow of the Kun Peng I killed before so I'm here to get it. I'll gift it to someone later." nonchalantly replied Silver.
The group stood rooted right where they are and stared at him in shock, not knowing what to say, but Lin Xie was in her own world not minding the group's conversation, savoring the sweet taste of the lollipop in her mouth.
Silver paid no heed and continued walking with Lin Xie following him, leaving the group behind while killing any beast that's without flesh that came to attack him and his disciple.
A long while later…
Immortal Emperor Gu Chun and the three others regained their wits and quickly ran and caught up to the master and disciple.
"Senior… By a Kun Peng, do you mean a little Kun Peng, a newborn?" asked Ma Dong.
"Newborn? Dong'er, ah Dong'er… Where the heck can you even find a newborn Kung Peng? It is a Kun that evolved, namely Kun Peng, a million miles long. That thing was strong, though, in the end, it died." replied Silver, then sat down on the bony ground, as if waiting for something to emerge.
Ma Dong hearing Silver call him Dong'er didn't know what to say and just sigh helplessly.
Silver looked at Immortal Emperor Gu Chun and asked; "Immortal Emperor Gu Chun, I forgot to ask, how many Fate Palaces do you have?"
Immortal Emperor Gu Chun's eyes blink, curious as to why Silver would ask him. Doesn't the whole nine worlds know? He thought. To his curiosity, he asked; "I have eight Fate Palaces. Is something wrong?"
"Hmm… Eight, huh. You shoulder only one Heaven's Will, am I right?" asked Silver just to clarify.
"Indeed," answered Immortal Emperor Gu Chun, nodding his head.
"Do you know that in the Tenth World, it is possible to shoulder more?" said Silver, shocking Immortal Emperor Gu Chun at his revelation.
To his surprise, Immortal Emperor Gu Chun shouted; "What!? How is it possible!? How can one shoulder more Heaven's Will!?"
"Well… Here in the Nine Worlds, there's only one Heaven's Will, but in the Tenth World, there're seventy two Heaven's Will and one can shoulder as much as they can as long as they can subdue or whatever many Heaven's Will they can, making them more powerful and create more Heaven's Will Secret Laws." said Silver while creating an orange juice and giving it to his disciple Lin Xie.
"How is it possible!? Seventy Two Heaven's Will? I don't believe that someone can have over twelve Fate Palaces and bear so many Heaven's Will." said Immortal Emperor Gu Chun as he shook his head, forgetting his three companions that had fainted because of shock.
"Well… You will see it firsthand when you reach the Tenth World. Just remember, nothing is impossible in this world." finished Silver with a smile.
"Then… Are you also an Emperor?" asked Immortal Emperor Gu Chun.
Silver nonchalantly replied; "Not only am I an Emperor but… nevermind" not wanting to say more.
Immortal Emperor Gu Chun clench his fist, not knowing what to think. As an Immortal Emperor, he didn't want to believe that there're still more people powerful than he is, but remembering how Silver walked into the corrosive Blood-red sea and creating flowers that just floated into the Blood-red sea, he decided and said; "Thank you for telling what I have to face up there. I shall leave Lin Xie in your care and make proper preparations before ascending." bowing to Silver in gratitude.
"No worries, Lin Xie, I have taken as my first Disciple not only would she'll become an Immortal Emperor, but a powerful one." replied Silver; "When you're ready to ascend, you can come find me at Mortal Emperor World. I'll ascend together with you as not to let those scumbags block you." as he gave Immortal Emperor Gu Chun some kind of talisman that he could use to communicate with him.
The two then conversed more as Immortal Emperor Gu Chun kept asking Silver one after another to which Silver replied and answering and clearing his doubts.
Hours later, the three companions of Immortal Emperor Gu Chun finally woke up and as soon as they woke up, they kept barraging Silver questions, one after another.
A day later…
Silver finally couldn't wait for the thing he was waiting and bid farewell to to Immortal Emperor Gu Chun and his group as he went back to his Empire along with his disciple Lin Xie.
Immortal Emperor Gu Chun and the others also went back to their sect and started preparing for his ascend.
…
Mortal Emperor World~
Eternal Chaos Empire~
Li Qiye hovered atop the Empire while watching his father cares his mother's bulging stomach lovingly anticipating the birth of their child and his soon to be his little brother or sister with a smile on which couldn't be traced due to having a body on that of a crow, but if one were t look into his eyes one could tell just how happy he is as he watches his mother and father.
As he hovered high on the sky, he saw what everyone calls the 'Divine Beasts' sleeping on each of their floating and hidden islands, seemingly guarding the highest peak where the Palace of the Emperor resides.
Much to his surprise, he saw a coiled blueish golden dragon sleeping in his own island, same as the other three which was a Phoenix covered in flames as it bathed into the island's purplish flames. For the seemingly mountainously big turtle with a snake as a tail floated into that of a sea-size lake, and as for the other one, it was a massive white-furred tiger with black stripes all over its body, all seemingly sleep, not paying him any attention.
And as for the palace, he just couldn't tell just how massive it is, but he felt that many strong beast, people, and medicine?
Wait!
Medicine?
They're not a fucking medicine! They are all fucking King Ranked Alchemy materials! Hopping here and there without fear of anyone trying to capture them and use in Alchemy!
Li Qiye could tell because he had already met a lunatic brat about Alchemy, which was why he knew. They both have traveled here and there, but this is his first time seeing such a thing.
The hell is wrong with this Empire!? He thought.
As he hovered up above, he didn't notice that two figures appeared above him.
One was a handsome young man seemingly at 22-24. The other one is a small little girl, looking like a 10-12-year-old girl as her golden hair swayed because of the wind.
When the little girl saw the little blackbird with a sparkle in her eyes as drool leaked out from her mouth, she jumped from the handsome young man's shoulder for she was sitting there.
With both her hands and feet spread wide, she caught the little blackbird in her hands and both fell at a fast rate.
The blackbird thought; 'What the…!' surprised as it fell from the sky along with the figure that caught it.
The handsome young man was too taken by a surprise that the little girl jumped from his shoulder before he could stop her. Seeing her caught someone familiar, he quickly stopped the little girl from falling down along with the blackbird in her arms and floated down to their level.
The little girl laughed heartily seeing her teacher/master stopped her from falling to the ground along with the blackbird. She then asked with expectation as a drool kept falling down from her mouth; "Teacher, teacher! Can I eat this bird? It looks delicious!" as she slurped up her saliva then plucked a feather from the blackbird as her stomach grumbled.
The handsome young man and the blackbird thought at the same time.
'Holy cow! Immortal Emperor Gu Chun wasn't kidding! This little girl is a disaster!'
