All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes

Yin Gujin remained indifferent, because the sounds related to the Holy Ancestor and the Great Chen Imperial Court from Gu Yunzhi were automatically erased by the restrictions, but Gu Yunzhi didn’t care: "The win or loss between families? What meaning does this really have? What we want to understand is not this kind of thing at all!"

"Villagers in the countryside will poison and kill the fish and shrimp you raise, farmers in the neighboring village will block the well that irrigates your village’s fields, they will drive a woman out when her husband and son have died, consuming everything without leaving a name, or they may slander her as being possessed by evil ghosts, insane from encountering evil!"

"Relatives have a child, but women without children are filled with jealousy, deliberately rocking and speaking loudly into the child’s ear, trying their hardest to turn the child into a fool. With a smile, they hold the child but secretly pinch and twist with their fingernails... Do you think they are crazy? Or intentional? No, these people are astonished and helpless when discovered, they neither considered the consequences nor intended to endure."

"Just like you."

"Families and Heavenly Officials have tasted this piece of meat, they will not allow anyone else to eat it. No matter how the Holy Ancestor thought back then, the Heavenly Officials system was meant to suppress families, yet the officials and apprentice groups that appeared under it replaced everything else, blocking others."

"You realized Great Chen was declining, yet thought yourself not the last batch, so you had to take the last bite, leaving the Imperial Court behind while the Emperor was absent, swallowing flesh and blood."

"And King Jing wanted to nurture the foundation of new resurgence... Claiming no involvement, saying it’s all due to the Holy Ancestor and Heavenly Demons, don’t make me laugh, you knew, you just watched, you merely observed, even actively pushed steps, hoping Imperial Court and Holy Ancestor would both suffer — then the Imperial Court indeed lost, the Late Emperor died, and you panicked again, without considering consequences or intending to endure!"

"And in the end, the death of the master, you are the same. You wanted to know the master’s remaining cards — but the master had none, he poured out everything to Great Chen, and the result? What was the result?"

Gu Yunzhi’s voice gradually lowered, he who originally spoke with grinding teeth became peaceful again: "It’s all the same, those despicable demonic natures in your souls are the real enemies of the master and the Late Emperor."

He laughed lightly: "The foolish people under heaven, how can I possibly grant you wisdom?"

"A tree rotted from the roots must indeed be replanted."

"And if it doesn’t succeed..."

The old man paused, raised his eyes, looking towards the horizon where dawn was about to break: "there can only be death."

He said, laughingly said: "All must die."

"This is my goal as King Jing’s last subject."

In his eyes was the reflection of candlelight,

the light of morning glow.

Red light.

Bloody light.

In the silence of the night

in that flash, as if the whole world fell into silence.

The wind on the Divine Beheading Platform, the music at the Yuan Family residence, the chatter of the city’s people, the voice of the Virtuous King, the exchanges before the throne, all came to a halt.

Because, a ray of light appeared.

This light shone at the edge of heaven, dazzled the ends of the earth, upon its appearance it immediately took away the brilliance of the rising sun, took away the radiance of the setting moon, seized away the light of the vast stars, the endless heavenly dome.

And then...

Came turbulence.

Intense turbulence.

Silent yet intensely turbulent emerged, the entire Divine Capital trembled, it quaked, as if gentle sprouts were pushing up from below a giant rock—boundless Earth Vein and Heavenly Sea’s Spiritual Fiends, and boundless Human Dao Dragon Qi, converging at the central node of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent.

They converged, transforming into the Mysterious Heavenly Palace, which people once thought was a tower used to overlook the Human World.

But now, as the underground immortal giant wood sprouted tender buds, only then did everyone suddenly comprehend, the entire Divine Capital, was actually just a... lid.

A well lid. A seal. A stone pressed upon something’s coffin board.

But whatever it was, now, it wavered.

The Divine Capital echoed with screams, fearful and subtle, drifting like the wind, converging from all directions into a piece, light and fire flickered, even on the Divine Beheading Platform, several Forbidden Army soldiers in the Divine Capital lost their footing, nearly falling to the ground.

This was not due to their lack of strength, but because the shaking wasn’t merely the earth, but the entire...

Divine Capital.

And at this moment, they all heard from the far end of the execution platform, where the people gathered, a terrified scream.

"Emperor!"

"The heavenly dome has collapsed!"

Immediately, even the Heavenly Officials around the throne were greatly shocked, they immediately raised their heads and indeed saw around the Mysterious Heavenly Palace that rose into the heavenly dome, that originally covered the heavenly dome, regulated temperature and weather, combed Spiritual Fiends’ Heavenly Sea, like shattered glass, cracked into fissures.

And the source of all these cracks was not some falling meteorite, evil demons descending into the world.

It was a person.

A young girl.

She held a scepter, ancient and gnarled, origins unknown from what Divine Wood, its color deep nearly profound black, but at the top of the scepter, several jade-like tender buds blossomed.

Southern Dipper, Dou is a lodge, Northern Black Tortoise is the first lodge, led by the Emperor of the South Pole, its power presides ten extremes, controls myriad transformations, extends life for ages, greatly expanding myriad.

In ancient times, Yinglong beheaded Kuafu at the South Pole, its soul ascending to Heavenly Sun and Yu Yuan, the spirit returning to the Earthly Netherworld, its blood nourishing Daze, transforming into Denglin, this is the Southern Dipper’s route to life extension method, imitating the story of the opening of heaven, the blood within blood, life within life, transforming into a branch of peach wood, the essence of the five woods, supremely yang, supremely steel, supremely upright, can dispel evil, cut ghosts, sever wickedness, destroy demons.

[Heavenly Martial]

[Southern Dipper Life Infusion]

Gu Yeqi raised this scepter, merely raising it itself caused the Heavenly Sea to surge, the Great Formation to collapse.

Earth and human hearts, all spirits nurturing growth energy, Heavenly Sea Nine Heavens, vast Nine Heavens Breath of Pure energy, valleys and rivers, Eight Desolates and wilderness bearing energy!

Heaven, Earth, and Man, unity of the three talents’ Qi... is the [Imperial Court Dragon Qi]!

This Imperial Court Dragon Qi, should only be held by the Imperial Court, but now, when the former King Jing held, once the pillar from the second Imperial Court’s depicted scene emerges, this original first Imperial Court’s Dragon Qi, begins uncontrollably gravitate towards this other pillar... drawn closer!

And then, shattering!

The earth trembles, fine dust and small stones rise on the solid ground, floating, ascending towards the sky. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Siphoning the entire Imperial Court’s destiny, the existence of the second central node itself is crushing the significance of the first central!

"Stop her!"

In the end, it was the Divine Capital Forbidden Army, even when faced with such an affair, they reacted immediately without hesitation, soaring into the sky, intending to stop.

In an instant, streaks of light rose from the Divine Capital, traversing a long distance in that flash, shattering the atmosphere, producing deafening roars, the surging Cloud Vortex penetrated, gloom and cold wind instantly torn apart, these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals unstoppable, like reverse flying meteors, like lightning thunder crushing everything, amid ever reddening sky drew arcs of incandescent white.

But in response to this, the girl holding the Heavenly Martial, merely held the scepter, gently tapped it towards below.

At the moment when streaks of light ascended.

All the Forbidden Army soldiers intending to counterattack, all accompanied by a splendid crisp sound, like shattered glass, glacier disjointing sound, all lost their forward power.

They suspended aimlessly in mid-air, struggling, and then...

Fell.
