Yue Qi's cold brows were filled with determination. "Yun Zhi Yue, I know that you will hate me for doing this, but if I can have you, even hatred is acceptable. I wish to enter Tai Chu, wait for me."
A strange wave emanated from Yue Qi, and Su Ye was astonished. "Isn't this your other half, Original Species? It was never present in the Heavenly Emperor!"
Yun Zhi Yue's pupils constricted as she shouted in anger, "Yue Qi, if you dare to harm my brother, I will make sure you are ground to dust!"
Yue Qi looked at her with pity. "Yun Zhi Yue, you understand; he is me."
Yun Shijiu rushed forward and shouted, "Old is old! He is Yun Yue Shi; he is not you!"
Yue Qi's figure faded, causing Yun Shijiu's attack to miss. Their lingering gazes locked onto Yun Zhi Yue's furious face.
Yun Zhi Yue attempted to form a seal to search for her other half, Original Species, but no matter where she prayed, she could sense nothing.
Yun Shijiu's heart sank. "This is bad; the old one won't be completely swallowed up, right? This useless one has been a failure since birth!"
Yun Zhi Yue snapped back, "Shut up! What time is it for you to be joking? While Yue Qi is missing, go back to the Han She Clan and develop your grand ambitions. I will find Yue Shi and notify you when there’s news. Now hurry up and leave!"
Seeing that his sister was genuinely upset, Yun Shijiu quickly departed. After taking a few steps, he turned back. "Sister, what happened to my wife and children?"
Yun Zhi Yue's chest heaved as she squeezed out her words through gritted teeth. "You just remembered? They were taken into the Underworld! I'll have someone look after them and send them back after a while."
Yun Shijiu sighed in relief and muttered an "oh" before finally leaving.
Ji Wei found it strange. "Fu Xiu said he wanted to enter Tai Chu; the Heavenly Emperor did too. Could it be that entering Tai Chu allows one to step out of the Imperial Realm? But wasn't Tai Chu destroyed? How can one enter?"
It wasn't meant literally; they intended to capture Tai Chu Ling to borrow its power to transcend the Imperial Realm, yet it still felt elusive. Li Shang wore a disdainful expression.
The Tide Emperor spoke up. "Since it has come to this, why doesn't Li Shang Di Jun explain it to us? After all, we are all on different paths leading to the same destination."
It was absurd to think they were on different paths leading to the same destination amidst such fierce competition. Li Shang wanted to refuse, but Yun Zhi Yue tugged at his sleeve softly and said, "I want to know too."
Li Shang paused for a moment before deciding there was no need to refuse.
The group entered Wujie and stood high above, watching as Li Shang waved his sleeve. The chaotic Wujie rolled about and suddenly revealed many forms of life.
The onlookers were stunned; this was creation! But how could this be possible? If Li Shang had such great power, wouldn’t he be on par with heaven and earth?
However, after the initial shock, Yun Zhi Yue remained calm. "This is fake; it's merely Li Shang's will manifesting, not real life."
Li Shang nodded and recited the phrase from Yun Zhi Yue that preceded the Heaven and Earth Tribulation.
"In the beginning of Tai Chu, chaos birthed spirits; vegetation thrived; forms took shape; greatness was grasped; order was established. Yet the Sheng Ling varied; those who wished to contend with heaven and earth must respect their master; those who created heaven and earth shall be revered."
Yun Zhi Yue looked up at the sky, astonished. "Why do you say there’s nothing to worry about?"
Li Shang gently patted Yun Zhi Yue's small head. "As long as you are strong enough, even the heavens and earth will be wary of you. So there’s no need for you to worry about those things. Ben Jun won’t let anything happen to you."
Ben Jun had been the King of the Underworld for too long, having already gazed beyond the Imperial Realm. The shattering of souls was a threat that the heavens and earth felt, but it was also Ben Jun's intention to break free from their constraints in order to advance further.
Tide and Ji Wei exchanged glances, their expressions changing. "The King of the Underworld?"
However, Su Ye showed no surprise and chuckled lightly. "So you've finally admitted your identity. Ben Jun has suspected something was off about you for a long time."
When you first appeared in the heavenly realm, there were indeed those who broke through to the Imperial Realm, but they were killed by your A Sword, which opened up Wujie. The chaos of Wujie concealed the celestial phenomena surrounding the fall of the Imperial Realm.
On that day, Ben Jun happened to be not far from Wujie and sensed something amiss. Yet he could never fully grasp your depth, which is why he chose not to expose this matter.
