Chapter 2363: Heaven’s Pledge!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Clack! Everyone sensed that some sort of gap had been dug out of the powerful golden barrier around the Celestial Emperor Palace, and the power of the barrier plunged.

“Not good!”

“Careful! It’s Heaven!”

The air tensed. Everyone was familiar with Heaven’s energy, but no one had expected that he would be able to tear through the perimeter seal.

Whoosh!

There was a gust of wind, and the energy of the entire Celestial Palace grew restless as a figure appeared in the hall.

It was Heaven.

“Bastard! I’ll kill you!”

Little Nightmare was the most agitated of all. With a furious roar, Little Nightmare lunged at the floating figure of Heaven, its eyes red.

But Wang Chong stopped it before it could get close.

“Little Nightmare, calm down! The barrier around the Celestial Emperor Palace wasn’t broken. He simply opened a gap and sent in a projection through it, not his body,” Wang Chong sternly said.

Wang Chong’s senses were extremely sharp. The barrier that Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan had set down had lasted for more than one thousand years. It could not have been so easily torn apart by Heaven.

Master Guangcheng and Li Xuantu had also sensed this, but even so, the mood was tense.

Before this, Xuanyuan’s power had been able to completely keep out Heaven. This was the first time Heaven had broken the barrier enough to project himself inside. Even though this was just a shadow, it was still ill news.

This meant that Heaven’s control of the Celestial Palace was growing stronger and stronger.

Heaven floated in the air, ignoring Wang Chong, Li Xuantu, and Little Nightmare, his eyes turning on Master Guangcheng’s projection.

“Master Guangcheng, as expected, We were correct. This really was your doing!”

Master Guangcheng said nothing, and simply stared coldly back.

Heaven stared at Master Guangcheng and derisively said, “However, do you not think trying to avenge your disciple is laughable? Vengeance? Against who? Were you not the archcriminal behind his death? A master killed his disciple yet hypocritically seeks to avenge him! Is there anything in the world more laughable?”

Bang!

Wang Chong’s entire body tensed. He was shaken by Heaven’s words and instinctively looked at Master Guangcheng.

Li Xuantu was also deeply shaken.

“Nonsense! Do you think we’ll believe this attempt of yours to pull us apart?” Li Xuantu sternly said.

The two sides were enemies, so he did not believe Heaven’s words. Moreover, this lie was simply too laughable.

“Idiot! Master Guangcheng, do you think the same?” Heaven mockingly said, not even glancing at Li Xuantu.

As Heaven spoke, everyone turned to Master Guangcheng.

“What is there to be sad about? Was it not the two of us who planned everything, charting out the entire course of his life and how it would ultimately end?” Heaven’s voice rang out in everyone’s ears.

Master Guangcheng’s eyes closed and a pained look appeared on his face, but he did not try to refute Heaven.

Boom!

Everyone trembled in shock, their minds in turmoil.

Even Wang Chong couldn’t help but show his shock on his face.

Though he found it difficult to believe, Master Guangcheng’s expression said everything: Heaven was telling the truth!

“Absurd! Absurd! You were the one who killed Little Grass!” Little Nightmare angrily roared as it stared at Heaven, not believing any of his words.

“Everyone knows that Master Guangcheng was Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan’s teacher… How could it be?”

Behind Wang Chong, Li Xuantu was shaken. Unlike Little Nightmare, he had remained much more rational, but deep down, even he found this truth far too shocking.

The teacher-student relationship between Master Guangcheng and the Yellow Emperor had been praised throughout the ages. Moreover, when Master Guangcheng saw the Yellow Emperor’s corpse, the extreme grief and pain on his face had been authentic. This was precisely what made the truth Heaven had divulged so shocking.

Master Guangcheng had deceived the Yellow Emperor?

This was impossible to accept.

“Haha, Master Guangcheng, as Xuanyuan’s master, shouldn’t you say a few words?” Heaven scoffed. From start to finish, he had not even looked at Wang Chong and Little Nightmare. It seemed as if only Master Guangcheng deserved his attention.

The hall was quiet. Everyone turned to Master Guangcheng, hoping that he would say something.

But Master Guangcheng did not move, not trying in the slightest to argue, though the grief and pain on his face grew more and more evident.

“Haaah…”

Looking at Master Guangcheng, Wang Chong internally sighed and then stepped forward.

“Heaven, there’s no need for you to keep trying to pull us apart. Even if Master Guangcheng was once a part of the Celestial God Organization, I trust that the real situation is not what you claim to be. At the very least, Senior Guangcheng has never had the will to harm Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. On this matter, he was simply used by you. Otherwise, he would not have lost his physical body and been sealed under the earth by you!”

In truth, Wang Chong had some speculations on Master Guangcheng’s identity, but he had never doubted him. Those emotions could not be feigned.

On this matter, at least, Wang Chong trusted Master Guangcheng.

Master Guangcheng finally opened his eyes and spoke, hatred and regret in his voice. “Heaven, trusting you was my greatest mistake. Although I did not kill Little Grass, I cannot escape some of the blame. My greatest regret was that I wasn’t a little firmer back then. It was only because I told Little Grass the truth that we have today’s tragedy!

“But you will not get another chance! I will not let the tragedy of Little Grass replay itself!”

Master Guangcheng stared at Heaven with tough and determined eyes.

The palace fell silent. At this time, Li Xuantu and the others began to understand. Though they didn’t know the exact details, there was no doubt that Master Guangcheng had been exploited by Heaven on the matter of Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.

At the minimum, Wang Chong was right that Master Guangcheng would not intentionally harm Xuanyuan. This alone was enough.

Wang Chong’s expression was also much more relaxed now.

After Master Guangcheng had said his piece, Heaven saw how the others had reacted, and his expression became much more ambiguous.

“Hmph, We would like to see how your remnant soul can stop Us!”

Heaven coldly grunted, his expression chilling, and then he turned to Wang Chong.

“Child of Destruction, more than one thousand years ago, We asked that man this question, and now, We will ask you the same. You are not of this world, and you have little connection with all that happens here. We sincerely offer you an invitation. Hand over your Stone of Destiny and join Our side, and We can let you be deputy leader of the Celestial God Organization, the future Celestial Lord of the Celestial Domain, with a status even above the twelve Supremes!

“We will grant you eternal life, and in the future world, We will share the entire world with you.

“Your talent and abilities are the rarest We have seen. This world is about to die. You can be the ultimate inheritor of all of this world’s civilizations, the last Epoch Child.

“Join Us! You will not regret it!” Heaven said with utmost sincerity.

Everyone paled at Heaven’s words.

Li Xuantu trembled in shock as he looked at Wang Chong. He had never expected this development. Heaven had invited Wang Chong to join the Celestial God Organization, even offering him the high status of deputy leader. If Wang Chong agreed, the world would lose its last hope, and just like Heaven had said, the world would truly die.

“Master, don’t believe him,” Little Nightmare roared, its expression enraged.

“Heheh, deputy leader? Truly generous!

“I killed Firmament Supreme, Genesis Supreme, and so many of your Divine Lords, and I ruined your Purification plan. Are you not bothered about these things? Don’t you want to avenge them?”

Wang Chong softly chuckled, but he neither denied nor accepted the invitation.

“Why do I need to kill you?”

Heaven shook his head, surprising everyone with his answer.

“When time is measured in epochs and life is endless, civilizations and dynasties are just momentary waves of froth in the river of time, not even worth considering. Life and death, personal revenge? They might be extremely important to you right now, but once you join us, you will understand that with a limitless lifespan, these things aren’t even worth talking about.”

“Even the Supremes who served faithfully as your left and right hands are considered as such?” Wang Chong countered, a hint of derision in his voice.

“They can’t be considered right and left hands, simply twelve companions. Firmament Supreme is dead, Genesis Supreme has fallen, Alpha Supreme was slain, and Origin Supreme no longer exists. As for Luo Supreme and Unity Supreme, they betrayed Us long ago, and since they betrayed Us, they are no longer companions. At present, only Essence Supreme, Radiance Supreme, and Grand Supreme are left in the Celestial God Organization.

“The twelve Supremes are not unchanging. Once Our original body is unsealed, twelve new Supremes will be selected, and a new Celestial God Organization will be formed.”

Bang!

Heaven’s casual words exploded in Wang Chong’s ears like a peal of thunder.

Twelve Supremes?

A new generation!

While Heaven had not noticed, Wang Chong had obtained confirmation that the twelve Supremes were not unchanging and were constantly being switched out. This also meant that the twelve Supremes Wang Chong was seeing now were not the earliest batch.

Master Guangcheng!

Wang Chong’s eyes passed over Master Guangcheng, and he immediately understood.

But his train of thought was swiftly cut off by Heaven.

“How about it? So long as you agree, in the future, the twelve Supremes will be under your command. Your parents will also be cured, and when the apocalypse descends, if you want it, I can protect the people close to you.”

These promises could not be considered stingy. Endless lifespan, supreme authority, control over all life—Heaven was sure that Wang Chong had no reason to refuse, particularly since he had even promised to protect Wang Chong’s parents and intimates.

The palace became frighteningly quiet as everyone looked at Wang Chong, even Master Guangcheng.
