Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 523: The Witch Imprisoned in the Celestial Domain
Celestial Domain.
Demon Prison Mountain.
This is a grand mountain located at the very center of the Celestial Domain. Additionally, it serves as the main teleportation channel between the heavens and the Celestial Domain.
Inside this mountain, there is a cell, and curiously enough, within the cell, there is only a single woman imprisoned.
A beam of light shines down from above, landing on the woman.
The woman, clad in tattered clothing, hangs suspended by chains binding her hands, her head drooping in exhaustion. Her hair is matted with grime, obscuring her features. She hangs there pitifully, swaying in the wind.
"My lord."
At this moment, a guard outside the cell slightly nods, allowing a man in a black robe to enter.
He steps in front of the woman, pulling down his hood to reveal his face.
His young face is marred by a scar that runs from his right eye to his left cheek, heavily scarring his formerly handsome features.
The man grips the woman’s neck, pulling back her hair to reveal a haggard and emaciated face. Even though her eyes are dull, and her skin darkened from years without washing, it is faintly visible that she was once beautiful.
"Damn witch, why haven’t you eaten today?" the man coldly asks. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
The woman merely glances at him without speaking.
"Do you want to starve yourself to death? You know we won’t let you get your way. You are here to endure endless torment."
The woman remains silent.
The man sneers, releasing the woman, then takes a few steps and suddenly says, "I saw your father."
Upon hearing this, the woman finds an unknown strength and sharply raises her head to look at the man, struggling to speak. "What did you say?"
Her father?
Has that man finally appeared?
It’s been over a million years—a full million years since the day she was imprisoned here. She has counted every year she has been held.
Initially, she didn’t know why she was captured. Upon arrival, she faced inexplicable beatings. Her mother was beaten to death, and she considered herself a harbinger of misfortune.
From birth until now, she’s never seen her father. Her mother always said he was busy and would return, but after over a million years, she never saw that heartless man.
She hates. She could have had a bright future. Even if she couldn’t become a powerful figure, she could have lived a normal life and died peacefully.
But now, she’s been forced to swallow the Longevity Pill, becoming immortal. They inject Spiritual Qi into her daily, forcing her to linger on.
She wants to die, she desperately wants to end her life, but she can’t even do that!
"Heh, what difference does it make if he’s back? Will he rescue me?" The woman lowers her head again, eyes full of loss with a glimmer of hope.
If he truly would save her, why has he made her wait so long?
That man probably forgot about her and her mother or maybe wasn’t even aware of her existence.
Over the years, she came to understand what kind of person her father truly was.
The Demon God of the Celestial Domain, the Demon Slayer that the heavens wish to destroy, the terrifying Demon Emperor, Ye Lan!
Merely mentioning this name invokes shudders from the soul and strikes fear into the hearts of everyone.
They all fear this name and don’t wish to hear it.
And yet, such a man, deemed a god, is her father, and she doesn’t want this father.
Because she is Ye Lan’s daughter, she ended up like this.
"He probably doesn’t even know you exist," the man taunts.
The woman remains silent.
"I’ll make him pay. This scar on my face is thanks to him, but for now, you will pay the price for him!"
With that, the man summons a long whip and begins to lash the woman.
The woman doesn’t scream because after enduring this life for over a million years, she has grown numb.
When will these days end?
Ye Lan, I hate you!
...
Blue Star.
After handling the Beast Ancestor, Chen Lan and the other three regrouped, having dealt with the Ghost Ancestor and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
This was good news.
"The world connection will take two more days to truly establish. Other worlds can’t conduct teleportation yet," Chen Lan said calmly.
While the Spiritual Qi had peaked, other worlds couldn’t teleport to each other yet. It required time for complete world compatibility.
"I think we can form an Array Barrier using the Energy from several worlds, which would help fend off attacks from the heavens and the Celestial Domain," the Yellow Emperor stated solemnly.
He had considerable expertise in Arrays and might devise one in two days.
"That’s a good suggestion, Old Man Huang. You’re proving useful," Chiyou nodded, smiling, acknowledging the Yellow Emperor.
"I have a Secret Technique that can forcefully unleash someone’s full potential for a short time. Depending on one’s innate talent and physique, the amount of potential unleashed may vary, but one might die afterward. It can be used as a last-ditch effort," the Flame Emperor said gravely.
His words were heavy, yet realistic, for the battle would inevitably demand sacrifices, though how many lives would be lost was uncertain.
"Alright, teach it to everyone, so they won’t have regrets," the Yellow Emperor instructed.
"I also have many weapons that can be used, they’re definitely better than those they have," Chiyou offered.
Chen Lan looked at the three men and smiled, "Take it easy. The battle hasn’t begun, no need for such a heavy atmosphere."
Upon hearing this, the three men laughed, though their smiles hid worry.
They weren’t fools. They knew that after the battle, they might never see each other again, separated by life and death, yet for the Immortal Ancient Realm and for revenge, they had to fight!
Even if it meant death!
Chen Lan admired the determination in their eyes, their strong allegiance to the Immortal Ancient Realm.
Many who became Dao Emperors or Taoist Saints had left their home planets to explore other worlds.
Yet these three remained in the Immortal Ancient Realm, even on the brink of great battles, standing valiantly at the forefront. It was truly admirable.
"I’m off to study Arrays," the Yellow Emperor said.
The other three nodded, watching him leave.
"I’m going too, to teach the Secret Technique."
"I’ll check how many weapons we have."
As the two departed, Chen Lan stood in the sky, about to leave when he suddenly felt a shiver!
He looked up sharply at the sky.
In the unseen depths, it felt like someone was calling him from afar, faintly.
Soon, the feeling dissipated, and Chen Lan furrowed his brow.
"What a strange feeling. Could it be a bloodline connection?"
Does he indeed have a daughter?
But who could have borne her?
Chen Lan didn’t know. Every woman he’d been involved with and remembered had perished in that great battle, so it was unlikely any offspring remained.
Perhaps only by reaching the Celestial Domain would he find the answer.
If she truly is his daughter, regardless of who, he will make them pay a terrible price!
