I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 96 Preparing to Become the Heavenly Emperor

The floodwaters swirled like a whirlpool, and the flames within the city grew ever larger.

Water and fire seemed to form a clear boundary.

Li Jun wanted to understand the purpose of the Ten Gods of Wa's Intestines, but at the same time, the Ten Gods of Wa's Intestines also wanted to understand Li Jun's existence.

A hundred years ago, the ten goddesses of Nuwa imitated the people Li Jun had met here, collecting all the information about him and trying every possible way to communicate with him.

A century later, the ten gods of Nuwa's intestines truly transformed into human-like beings, and this time they were going to achieve an even greater goal.

In response to Li Jun's question, they replied.

"About the Intestineless Kingdom."

“We have no resentment, no hatred. Everything here is a result of natural selection.”

"The demon race needs food, so they become food, just like those people who turned into rare herbs. Eagles hunt rabbits, and rabbits eat grass. Everything is just part of the cycle of heaven and earth."

"And there's that guy named Wuji. He's also part of us. Although his ideas are different from ours, he will eventually become one with us. But the one we want to become one with the most is you."

"It's you...it's you...the Emperor..."

Voices came from all directions, echoing around Li Jun like a ringing in the air.

Li Jun: "So you created the Guhuoniao."

When asked about the Guhuoniao, they replied.

"It was an accident, but it was a wonderful accident."

"It was a stroke of luck."

"She taught us how to create, how to transform the Great Wilderness, and how to create demons and all living things."

"But that's not enough, that's not enough, that's not enough."

"..."

The repeated use of the word "not enough" seemed to be telling Li Jun that the Ten Gods of Wa's Intestines were dissatisfied with the fact that they had not yet achieved their goals.

Li Jun asked her, "If the goal is to transform into me, and you also possess the power of the Guhuoniao and a portion of the Emperor's Blood Double Pupil, then why transform this vast plain into this place?"

"What is your purpose in creating the demon race? What do you intend to do by dispersing the demon race throughout the Great Wilderness? Replace all humans?"

The Ten Gods of Nuwa's Intestines.

"That's what the Ubume said."

"She said, we must create a perfect race, a race that is suitable for this world and the Great Wilderness."

“We must reshape the world and reshape all races; the Plains of Su Guang is just the beginning.”

"The human race is too fragile now; they have no way to survive in the Great Wilderness."

"In that case, let the human race disappear and create a completely new human race."

"The Guhuoniao said..."

"The Guhuoniao said..."

"explain……"

The Ten Gods of Wa Chang kept repeating what Gu Huo Niao had said, and Li Jun asked where Gu Huo Niao was.

The ten goddesses who had always answered questions before were all staring at him this time.

Nuwa said in unison, "She cannot see you."

Li Jun asked, "Why?"

Nuwa's Ten Gods said, "Because you, Emperor, can control her. Her double pupils come from you, and she has no way to resist your power now."

Li Jun: "I can't sense her. Did you hide her from me?"

The Ten Gods of Wa Chang nodded: "We will not hand her over to you. She will help us to create another emperor that belongs to us, and we will possess your power."

"Guhuoniao said... said... said... that she would help us accomplish this."

Although Nuwa made no attempt to conceal the information, or rather, Li Jun would eventually find out most of it anyway, they still showed their "malice" towards Li Jun in the end.

Of course, in their own eyes, this might not be "malicious"; they simply wanted to recreate everything, including Emperor Li Jun.

Just like the natural cycle of seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter.

But at this point, the Ten Gods of Nuwa changed their tone.

"However... however... however..."

This time, it appeared only ten times, meaning that each of the Nuwa goddesses said it once, and the ten Nuwa goddesses rarely reached a consensus.

Li Jun: "But what?"

Nuwa said, "If the Emperor is willing to integrate with us, we will not need to create another Emperor, and we can directly create heaven and earth."

"In our world, you are still the supreme emperor, ruling over the entire Great Wilderness, and heaven and earth belong to you."

Li Jun naturally disagreed, and the ten Nuwa goddesses looked at him, the conversation seemed to have reached a stalemate, and both sides fell silent.

However, the ten gods of Nuwa's intestines are communicating in another form, or negotiating with themselves.

Listen carefully, and all the sounds echoing across the vast plains of Su Guang seem to originate from their whispers.

In the end, the ten gods of Nuwa made their move against Li Jun.

With a single move, ten of them attacked together, creating a massive flood that completely submerged the Tai Sui Kingdom and rose infinitely higher, engulfing Li Jun.

Not only that, but the layers of clouds overhead also pressed down, and the layers of clouds and mist combined to completely block out the sky.

It is unknown when the clouds in the sky above the Plain of Millet were also created from Nuwa's intestines. Perhaps it was because the clouds were formed from the evaporation of water from the Plain of Millet that rose into the sky.

Li Jun saw the clouds pressing down from the sky, and as the clouds drew closer, he felt as if the sky was getting lower and lower.

However, Li Jun was thinking about more things at this moment. Water evaporated and turned into clouds in the sky, and to what extent had Nuwa's intestines penetrated into all parts of the Great Wilderness in this way?

Immediately afterwards, the entire land and vegetation of Su Guang began to grow wildly, constantly rising and transforming into high walls that surrounded Li Jun at the center.

Clouds in the sky, water on the ground, and walls on all four sides.

It was immediately clear that the other party intended to trap Li Jun here and kill him completely.

However, at this moment, the bluebird appeared behind Li Jun.

No longer just a shadow.

Rather, it is the actual entity.

The moment the demon god Qingniao appeared, it filled the entire space, its feathers covering the sky and the ground.

For Li Jun, it was as if he had fallen from an ocean formed of water into an ocean formed of feathers.

After the appearance of the Bluebird, the power of Nuwa's intestines stagnated.

It prevented the earth from rising and also held up the falling clouds.

"Chirp!"

The bluebird let out a sharp cry, and seemingly endless power surged upwards, tearing the sky apart with light before breaking through.

The rosy clouds burst and spread across the sky like fireworks, painting the entire sky with color. This scene could be seen even in the wilderness of Awahiro.

The clouds in the sky were the weakest point in Nuwa's intestines.

The earth is the most powerful force of Nuwa's intestines. Even Li Jun, who possesses the body of an emperor, felt a sense of oppression standing on this earth and water.

But that day, at least for now, does not belong to her.

Accompanied by the rosy glow, Li Jun sat cross-legged on the back of the bluebird and flew out of the vast plains. Even though the power of Nuwa's intestines kept entangling him, it could not hold the bluebird back.

However, on this land, the power of Nuwa's intestines is still terrifying; at least on the ground, even Qingniao cannot suppress it.

"Chirp!" The bluebird let out a series of sharp cries, and the rosy light swallowed the land of the vast plains below, erasing the great rivers and mountains, tearing the earth apart, but the other side quickly recovered.

"Boom!" Countless demonic creatures emerged from within, even merging together, attacking the Bluebird from all directions without end.

After a brief struggle, neither side achieved any real effect.

The power of the demon god Qingniao could not restrain Nuwa's intestines, and the power of Nuwa's intestines was also powerless against Qingniao. Continuing the fight would only cause damage to the outside world and would be completely meaningless.

Everything gradually calmed down.

Amidst the floodwaters, the ten goddesses of Nuwa emerged one by one, gazing at the bluebird in the sky.

Or rather, the gaze was fixed on the invisible human figure on the back of the bluebird.

"emperor!"

"We can only make another one of you."

"We will surely transform heaven and earth and reshape everything in this world."

Li Jun: "Why do you insist on doing this?"

Nuwa's Ten Gods: "This is the reason for our existence."

Li Jun: "That's what the Guhuoniao said."

The ten gods of Nuwa shook their heads in unison: "No, we understand ourselves, this is what we were born to do."

"Just like birds are born to fly, people can run, and fish can swim."

"We were born here to create a world that truly belongs to us."

When Li Jun asked any further questions, the Ten Gods of Nuwa refused to answer.

but.

At this point, more information has been gathered.

Li Jun has already found a way to see some things, some things that will happen in the future.

Above the sky, Li Jun's double pupils lit up.

The radiant light emanating from the bluebird's wings illuminated all directions, seemingly spreading along the sky towards the entire world, connecting all living things in the universe.

At this moment, Li Jun no longer hesitated to unleash the power of the Bluebird, and all sorts of future possibilities and images appeared before his eyes.

Inside, Li Jun searched for traces of the Guhuoniao, for the future appearance of Nuwa's intestines, and explored the ten gods of Nuwa's intestines.

More importantly, we need to see how the Ten Gods of Nuwa created another "him".

To perfect the deficiencies and inadequacies of her power, and ultimately truly achieve the goal of creating heaven and earth.

"Chirp."

In the first act, Li Jun saw some real anomalies in the changes of the earth, not only in the wilderness of Su Guang, but also in more distant places, in areas that Li Jun had never been to before.

Among them, several places seem to be particularly crucial.

In a valley in the far east, a mountain rose abruptly from the ground and floated directly in mid-air, with scalding water flowing out from it, submerging the entire land.

Here, it seems that a demon god has been created, but Li Jun senses that it is not the key, but merely a part of the plan, used to carry something.

In the far west, a similar place was created, a giant valley that also covered at least a thousand miles.

Moreover, this giant valley is even more exaggerated, seemingly floating entirely in the void.

In the second act, Li Jun saw a gigantic deity, bathed in a hazy golden light, leaning against a divine tree in some unknown valley.

The sunlight seemed to wrap around the deity like a ribbon, so dazzling that it was difficult to look directly at its presence.

In the third act, Li Jun saw something that looked like rain or light falling from the sky. All the birds and beasts in the Great Wilderness looked up at the sky, and when the thing fell into their bodies, they all began to mutate.

He awakened his spiritual intelligence, transformed into human form, and stood naked in the wilderness, bowing and worshipping the heavens.

In the fourth act, Li Jun saw a shaman dancing and performing a ritual in the wilderness, beating drums and shouting at the sky.

However, when they looked up and followed the shaman's perspective, they saw one point of light after another appearing in the sky.

The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into suns, their golden light turning the sky a blinding white.

Then, intense golden light covered the earth, and the entire land began to burn.

The sky is full of ten days.

The entire Great Wilderness, all mortal things, were burned to ashes under those ten suns.

On the back of the bluebird, Li Jun's double pupils gradually returned to normal, and before him was still the vast plain of millet fields.

From that moment on, Li Jun understood something.

"Ten days of chaos."

Li Jun's gaze locked onto the Ten Gods of Nuwa's Intestines, and then he asked.

What kind of "other me" are you going to become?

"Emperor Jun?"

However, the ten gods raised questions about Nuwa's intestines.

Who is Di Jun?

Everyone knows that Li Jun is the emperor, but no one knows that the emperor's name is Li Jun. Therefore, the name Di Jun does not have any significance for later generations at this moment.

Once he started, Li Jun became reckless.

He tried to imagine going to the various places he had seen before, searching for the Guhuoniao bird and anything that might be related to the Ten Suns.

"Chirp!"

The bluebird traversed the years, bringing images of the future to Li Jun's eyes.

Li Jun saw scenes again, seeing himself flying to all directions, seemingly traversing the entire Great Wilderness in an instant.

Then he saw the source of the problem.

"found it!"

Li Jun looked westward, and the wings of the demon god Qingniao beneath him, which blotted out the sky, began to flap.

"over there!"

In an instant, the bluebird left the plains of Su Guang and headed towards a certain place in the west.

This divine bird flew over the location of the four poles and eight pillars, traversing the vast void.

finally.

In a sea of ​​clouds in the west, Li Jun found a suspended valley.

The Void Valley in the far west.

The moment Li Jun arrived, the shadows of the Ten Gods of Nuwa's Intestines also appeared around the Void Hanging Valley.

"Boom!"

A torrent of water swept out, completely covering the surrounding area and enveloping the Void Valley layer by layer, as if a vast ocean had appeared out of thin air.

Li Jun looked at the Void Valley, and beneath the overwhelming flow of water, he noticed a huge cave, exactly the same as the cave deep in the Wilderness of Su Guang that he had seen before.

At this moment, Li Jun saw a towering divine tree being created here. Its trunk was between reality and illusion, emanating a law that influenced everything around it.

This is a demon god.

However, it was not a born demon god, but was created and generated.

Beneath the sacred tree, Li Jun saw various forms of demons and ghosts roaring and even screaming.

The shadows twisted and shifted in the valley and among the sacred trees, constantly disappearing and reappearing, like vengeful ghosts unwilling to die.

And looking at that sacred tree, listening to that sound.

Li Jun then realized that the Ten Gods of Nuwa were capturing demon gods from all sides and transferring them here.

Finally, they were melted down in this valley and under the divine tree, creating a special demon god.

The essence and power of a large number of demon gods accumulated here, eventually coalescing into an incomparably powerful existence.

Looking at the sacred tree, Li Jun murmured to himself.

"Ruomu!"

Before coming here, Li Jun had already heard the man on the thorns mention the name of this place.

Li Jun rode the bluebird, circling around it. The sea below chased after him, but Li Jun avoided it, trying to peek into the secrets inside the Ruomu tree.

The closer.

The more you observe.

Gradually, Li Jun discovered that this valley and the valley of the Eastern Emperor seemed to be connected, or rather, they were two sides of the same coin.

And this Ruomu tree, and that divine tree over there, are two sides of the same coin.

However, neither this valley nor the sacred tree is the essence of this place.

Finally, he saw Ruomu and the true shadow hidden deep in the valley.

Below, a figure resembling the sun was hidden.

The other party is slowly being born.

That could be considered another version of Li Jun, another so-called Sun God.

Li Jun finally saw the truth.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Oh, they want to create a real great sun to replace the sky here, and the sun in the sky."

"In this way, the world created from Nuwa's intestines was complete, with the earth and all living things, as well as the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars."

"Not only that, it possesses the same power as me."

"I bestow double pupils upon mortals with the blood of the Emperor, and it can grant new life to demons, and it can also control all demon gods in a special way."

Li Jun finally stopped.

He asked, "What's it called?"

Now that things have come to this, the Ten Gods of Nuwa's Intestines seem to have no need to hide anything anymore.

"Xihe."

Li Jun: "This is the other me you were talking about?"

To be honest, Li Jun didn't feel that this Xihe was another version of himself, but that was only from a human perspective.

However, from the perspective of the demon god, Xihe is indeed another emperor-like being.

It is like the sun, like the sky, and possesses the divine power of an emperor who rules over all things.

As long as it can be successfully conceived.

At this moment, Guhuoniao appeared, or rather, was discovered by Li Jun. She hid in the deepest part of the valley, protected by the power of Nuwa's intestines.

The power of the demon god Xihe originated from her.

Or rather, it stems from her imperial bloodline and double pupils.

Li Jun headed downwards, and at the same time, his double pupils lit up.

He made a spell-casting gesture, as if he was ready to summon the Guhuoniao (a mythical bird) and utter that phrase at any moment.

"Gu Huo Niao!"

"Come!"

It seems that as long as the barrier is broken, a single spell can determine the life or death of the other party.

Unlike in later generations, Li Jun, who possesses the body of an emperor, is able to restrain her.

however.

Although the Ten Gods of Nuwa's Intestines told Li Jun about the name of this demon god, they did everything in their power to stop him whenever he took another step forward.

When the bluebird swoops down from the heights, the waves rise in that direction.

Furthermore, Li Jun could also sense that the Ruomu tree and the still-forming sun in the valley were poised to rush out and pounce on him if he took another step forward.

Li Jun was all alone here, and what he was facing was Nuwa's Intestine, which had grown so much in the past hundred years that it had raised the Great Wilderness ten thousand feet high and devoured and transformed a large number of demon gods.

Furthermore, even Li Jun, in his imperial form, sensed a hint of danger. And it wasn't just coming from Nuwa's intestines.

More than anything, it comes from Xihe.

Even more strangely, it wasn't the bluebird's warning that sensed danger, but Li Jun's instinct.

At this very moment, the Bluebird's warning was telling Li Jun information that completely contradicted his own feelings.

"go with!"

"go with!"

"Seek good fortune and avoid misfortune; a blessed land lies ahead."

As Li Jun rode the bluebird, it was as if a voice was constantly whispering in his ear.

However, Li Jun immediately stopped all his movements and looked into the depths of the Void Valley.

The sun radiated light, which was drawn to the power emanating from him.

"wrong!"

"This is a misfortune, not a blessing!"

For the emperor, this might be the case.

Because the distant sun is another part of him that has been recreated, and by merging with it, he can get closer to a state of perfection.

However, for Li Jun, if the two were to merge into one, his consciousness as a human being might be completely erased.

Riding the bluebird, Li Jun once again looked at the divine bird beneath him.

That sentence came to mind.

"What exactly is this blessing?"

"What trouble is this again!"

Finally, Li Jun controlled the bluebird to leave.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved; for Li Jun, he has found the source of everything.

Once you identify the problem, you'll naturally be able to find ways to solve it.

Li Jun thought to himself as he soared above the sea of ​​clouds and clear sky.

"If we want to completely defeat Nuwa's intestines, we must do everything we can to weaken her and seize control of this world."

"We absolutely cannot let her grow any stronger."

Once the struggle for dominance over this realm is successful, Li Jun, as emperor, will be equivalent to truly recreating the Heavenly Emperor from ancient mythology.

He planned to return to Kunlun to see the Queen Mother of the West and have a good talk with her.

In other words.

From this moment on, he truly began to prepare to become a Heavenly Emperor.

He wanted to integrate the power of the entire Great Wilderness, combine the power of the Queen Mother of the West Kingdom and all the kingdoms of mountains and seas, as well as the Great Witch, and even try to control the power of all demons, gods, and spirits in order to win this unprecedented war.

If he wants to overcome all of this, he must control it.
-
On the way to the Great Wilderness.

Before he could fly back to the Great Wilderness, and before he could even see the enormous earth pillar that supported the four poles, Li Jun stopped in one place.

The bluebird, which had once blotted out the sky, slowly shrank and finally landed on the ground.

As Li Jun stepped onto the earth, the bluebird merged into his body.

Li Jun stopped here specifically because of one person.

"A person without intestines."

"No successor."

Ahead lies the former site of Wuji, the great shaman of the Intestineless Kingdom. Of course, a hundred years have passed, and the original Wuji has long since died and transformed into another form.

Li Jun saw a large lake in the distance with an island in the center.

Li Jun stepped across the lake toward the island, where there were only a few thatched huts, suggesting that people had lived there before.

There are several burial mounds nearby, without any tombstones.

"The witch is dead."

This must be the shaman who brought the ghosts and spirits here, but the lineage of shamans here has died out after several generations.

Now, only desolation remains here.

Everything is gone, everything is over.

The name Wuji means "no successor" and was once a desire for immortality. The entire Wuchang clan sought power from Nuwa's intestines in an attempt to obtain immortality as mortals.

Finally, this wish seemed to have been fulfilled, but in a way that Wuchangshi could never have imagined.

But in any case.

The Kingdom of No Intestines and the Clan of No Intestines, just like the name of No Successor, truly came to an end.

Li Jun stood silently before the abandoned thatched hut and the dilapidated grave mound. He had originally wanted to ask the last person here something, but now he could say nothing.

soon.

He began to summon the spirits and deities of the great shaman Wuji.

There is a ready-made altar behind the thatched hut, or rather, the island itself is an altar.

While chanting a spell, Li Jun took out a wine bottle, poured some wine into a ceramic bowl, and placed it on a stone.

"A person without intestines has no successor."

"Have some drinks!"

A shadow emerged from beneath the earth, rising higher and higher, growing ever larger.

At first, it looked like a pile of amorphous sand and gravel, and then it was mixed together like mud and soil and stirred continuously.

Finally, the ghost transformed into a clay sculpture-like object and appeared before Li Jun.

Logically speaking, although Li Jun summoned the ghosts and spirits of the former Great Shaman Wuji of the Intestineless Kingdom, he was not the shaman of the other party and could not control him.

but.

It seems that this gutless sorcerer had made preparations and plans before his death. The moment his ghost appeared, he knelt before Li Jun.

Sounds came from all directions in the void.

"emperor!"

"You're here...you're here, you've finally arrived."

At this point, it becomes apparent that the entire island, and even the surrounding lakes, have been encircled by a massive barrier and array.

If an outsider breaks in, they will be attacked by a gutless sorcerer.

Only when a specific "person" arrives can one enter this place.

A sudden gust of wind arose, and sounds from all directions overlapped, along with a constant stream of other different noises.

"Wuji did something wrong."

"Wu Ji has made a grave mistake."

"It's all Wuji's fault that the Emperor's plans were ruined... I was wrong... There's nothing I can do..."

"I can't control myself, everything is wrong...everything is wrong."

The sound carried on the wind was filled with regret.

For this gutless sorcerer, there were indeed too many things to regret. His lifelong wish was not fulfilled, and the gutless clan finally died out completely.

He once held the Emperor's Blood, but due to his impatience, he made a grave mistake, creating the Guhuoniao and even giving the Ten Gods of Nuwa's Intestines a physical form.

According to Wu Ji, the shaman who was without intestines at the time.

All of this was caused by his hasty actions. If he had just waited a little longer until everything the Emperor had arranged came to fruition, perhaps the situation would have been different.

However, no one expected that Li Jun would not return until a hundred years later. It was impossible to predict what would happen during those hundred years, and it cannot be entirely blamed on Wu Ji.

Li Jun looked at the ghosts and spirits that had vanished after so long, and there was no point in saying anything now.

"I see."

"That's settled then. I'll handle the rest."

As soon as the words were spoken, countless runes-like things rose up from the clay statue.

Then, it passed into Li Jun's hands.

This is a pact between gods and spirits.

It turns out that when the gutless sorcerer Wuji died as a ghost, he had already planned to leave this behind.

Perhaps long, long ago, he had already been preparing for this day, leaving his remaining body and power to the emperor who would one day arrive.

Then, Guishen Wuji pointed to a spot in the thatched hut.

Then, it sank back underground.

"there?"

Li Jun walked towards the thatched hut, where he saw the last words of the gutless sorcerer Wu Ji, as well as the things he had left behind.

It's quite ingenious that the text left behind by the gutless witch Wuji was a text passed down by the Queen Mother of the West.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother of the West, Wuji would have had to use other methods to leave his last words.

Li Jun unfolded the clay tablets one by one and looked at the writing on them.

Here, Li Jun learned what had happened in the Kingdom of Wuchang after he left.

However, the general outline of the events had already been learned from Nuwa and the man on the thorns, though Wuji's last words provided more details.

Finally, as Li Jun was about to leave, he picked up another item left behind by the other party—a sacrificial artifact.

It looked like a small clump of soft, mushy soil.

But as Li Jun grabbed the clump of soil, the island beneath his feet, along with everything on it, began to shrink and merge into the soil.

Finally, everything around him disappeared, leaving only Li Jun standing on the water.

It turns out that this island was formed from a piece of soil.

Li Jun examined the ritual object from all angles, and suddenly he realized what it was—it was a divine object from mythology.

"The Breath of Earth!"

Li Jun felt that the Gutless Witch had left this ritual object and sacred artifact with a deeper meaning, and he also sensed that it would be of great use.

As for how to use it, Li Jun also has several ways to use it.

The most rudimentary method is to indirectly activate it using a pact with spirits and deities.

The more complex ones are naturally like the Queen Mother of the West.

However, there is another, more perfect way.

Li Jun: "Create another being with double pupils, refine this sacrificial artifact and the ghost god, and it may even be able to influence a portion of the power of Nuwa's Intestines in reverse."
-
Kunlun Hill.

The Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West and the capital of the Emperor.

Li Jun's speed gradually slowed down as he flew through the sky, because he was thinking about a problem.

"After arriving in the capital of the emperor, how can I persuade the Queen Mother of the West to support me in becoming the Heavenly Emperor?"

Regarding the Queen Mother of the West.

Li Jun didn't actually know much about them, or rather, although the two had a close connection that transcended everything, they were essentially strangers.

Li Jun did not believe that just because he had done a favor for the Queen Mother of the West, she would necessarily submit to him unconditionally.

The Queen Mother of the West is very powerful. In terms of both strength and mind, she has accomplished unprecedented things, even without Li Jun's help.

It is said that she even fought a war with the goddess Nuwa, which led to the creation of the present-day Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West. This shows how powerful the Queen Mother of the West is.

With the other party's assistance, Li Jun's next task will definitely be much more efficient.

Of course, there is another method.

Using the Emperor's body to directly control the other party can only borrow power, but it cannot obtain the other party's true full assistance.

If it's not necessary, it's best not to use it.

While pondering, Li Jun arrived at Kunlun.

Pass through the gate of Kunlun.

Lu Wu, accompanied by the Enlightened Beast, greeted him as Li Jun walked up the jade steps that resembled heavenly staircases. Lu Wu bowed beside him without saying or asking anything.

As Li Jun passed by him, he asked, "Aren't you going to inform the Queen Mother of the West?"

Lu Wu said very seriously, "The Emperor is the master of Kunlun and the world."

Li Jun: "Is that what you're thinking?"

Lu Wu: "Everyone thinks that way."

Compared to when I left, the capital of the capital has undergone some changes.

Li Jun noticed that the demons, ghosts, and some buildings here seemed to have decreased.

Look up and gaze into the distance.

You can see several powerful sorcerers who have integrated the power of ghosts and gods. Their bodies are taller than ordinary mountains, like the giant spirits in mythology.

At this very moment, they are transporting hills, cities, and palaces toward the heavens.

Li Jun looked at the mountain-sized strongmen and explained their origins.

"Kua'e's family!"

Below, there are other large and small shamans exerting their power, and even ghosts, gods, and some weak demon gods lending their strength to assist them.

Before leaving, Li Jun heard the Queen Mother of the West vaguely mention the construction of the Nine Heavens and Zengcheng.

However, Li Jun didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but when he returned and saw this scene, he was still somewhat shocked.

now.

There is no true Heavenly Emperor yet, nor has there ever been a true Heavenly Emperor.

However, this capital city already possesses some of the grandeur of the Heavenly Emperor's residence and the Heavenly Court from mythology.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jun appeared in the Queen Mother of the West's palace.

This time, the Queen Mother of the West sensed someone entering her palace, but there wasn't as much noise as last time.

Instead, she waved her hand, signaling the people in the hall to leave.

Then he looked outside: "Your Majesty, you're back?"

Li Jun looked at the passage between the celestial realm and the mortal realm, as well as the bustling scene of the construction of Zengcheng Ninefold Palace.

He said, "Why is it still under repair when I'm not here? If I don't come back, isn't all this trouble for nothing?"

The Queen Mother of the West said, "I know the Emperor will return, and the Heavenly Emperor should naturally reside in the Nine Heavens."

Li Jun then said, "I have something to do."

The Queen Mother of the West, dressed in magnificent robes, nodded and bowed, saying, "Please, Your Majesty, issue a decree."

Li Jun said, "I want to be the Heavenly Emperor."

The Queen Mother of the West looked at him and laughed, "The Emperor is the Heavenly Emperor, the master of all things in heaven and earth. How can you say you want to be the Heavenly Emperor?"

Li Jun said, "Not only that, I want to rule over all the demons, gods, ghosts, witches, and all the tribes in the entire Great Wilderness."

The Queen Mother of the West stepped forward, nodded, and said, "That is how it should be."

After hearing that the Queen Mother of the West had agreed, Li Jun continued.

"There is also the ability to integrate the supernatural powers and laws of all the demons and gods in the world, so that the laws can be used by us and operated by us."

He said, "I want to build a true mythical heavenly court."

The Queen Mother of the West simply kowtowed on the ground: "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"

Seeing the Queen Mother of the West's unreserved support, Li Jun was moved. Unlike the previous Queen Mother, Li Jun had been giving back to her and supporting them step by step to reach their current state.

At that time, Li Jun rarely asked anything from the other party, or rather, he didn't need anything.

As for the Queen Mother of the West, aside from giving her the Emperor's Blood at the beginning, Li Jun did not interfere much afterward, and she grew to an unimaginable level, becoming a nearly independent being.

That's why this support is all the more precious.

of course.

This is also the first time Li Jun has needed the full support of the outside world.

The nine-tiered Zengcheng structure was finally completed in its initial stages thanks to the tireless efforts of the Kua'e clan in transporting the materials day and night.

It can be said that almost the entire core essence of the Imperial Capital was moved into the Celestial Realm.

It's not just the palace complex that has been continuously built and expanded over the past century, making it appear somewhat crowded.

Along with the earth, mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests, Kua'e and the shamans used their supreme supernatural powers to transport everything to the heavens.

this day.

Before the Heavenly Gate, one shaman after another performed rituals, shaking various sacrificial vessels and chanting various incantations.

"The Demon God Bee!"

"Demon God Dog... Vermilion Moth... Xiang Liu..."

"And seal...the Weaver Bird...the Black Serpent..."

One by one, names were called out, the voices falling from the sky to the ground.

Then, one by one, shadows carrying immense power headed towards the Heavenly Gate and entered it.

All the demons and ghosts returned to the mountains, lands, rivers, and lakes of the Nine Heavens, or burrowed into the ancestral tablets and stone tablets within the cities and palaces.

With the return of these demon gods and ghosts, the mountains, rivers, and lakes came to life in an instant.

The rivers flow and connect with each other.

The waterfall cascades down from the sky, layer upon layer connecting to each other, like a celestial river.

The mountains stand suspended in mid-air, but the plants on them begin to grow continuously, covering the entire peak in the blink of an eye.

The palaces emanated divine light and created a misty, radiant glow.

Moreover, the descendants of the former Hanhuang clan and the descendants of the Ximu clan were also taken along, heading towards the Heavenly Palace.

Some of them transformed into winged beings and flew directly up, while others swept up clouds and winds, ascending to the heavens like immortals.

"They've returned to heaven, they've returned to heaven." For the Hanhuang Clan, many of their ancestors were buried in that peach grove, or rather, that peach grove was the transformation of their ancestors.

"Ascend to the Heavenly Realm." For the Ximu clan, the initial hill at the highest point of the Heavenly Realm is where they started.

Finally, the bells in the ninth heaven rang out.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang..."

The bell rang from the highest heavens, yet its sound traveled to the earth and spread far and wide.

Li Jun and the Queen Mother of the West rode in a carriage pulled by divine birds and nine dragons, ascending to the highest point of the celestial realm.

Along the way, figures bowed their heads above the clouds and sea of ​​clouds, and countless people worshipped on the earth below.

this moment.

He seemed to have become the true Heavenly Emperor.
