Chapter 523: He Is Actually the Heavenly Emperor

Youxuan tried hard to comfort himself.

Although Li Heng appeared powerful at this moment, the Great Void was filled with endless experts; as long as he was not one of those few renowned, noble existences, it was not enough to make him submit.

Thinking this way, he finally felt a little better.

Of course, deceiving oneself is the hardest thing to do. So, even though he thought that way, all sorts of ideas could not help but rise in his mind.

At this moment, Li Heng descended from the Time-Space River, only to find Youxuan kneeling on one knee before him, his expression extremely respectful.

"Dare I ask, Master, what is your origin?"

He finally could not hold back and asked in confusion.

In fact, he had suppressed this question in the bottom of his heart for a long time.

Being able to repair the damaged Reincarnation Disk and allow him, an artifact spirit on the verge of extinction, to reappear in the World was one thing; the Great Void had countless extraordinary people, and he would have just assumed he had met a capable person.

But now, Li Heng standing above the Time-Space River and modifying the origin of Heaven and Earth with a single word was far beyond what could be described as an extraordinary person—it was something even stronger!

Yet he did not understand.

In his eyes, this World of the Present World could only be considered a small world. And a pond could not raise a flood dragon, let alone this small world, which did not even count as a pond.

How could such a world produce an expert of this level?

This situation was like a god-level civilization of the universe suddenly discovering an Earth still in the primitive era, where the level of civilization and technology did not even count as level one, being incomparably weak.

And then, an expert capable of destroying the universe popped out of Earth.

The kind that could reenact Earthly Fire Wind and Water.

How could Youxuan understand and accept this?

He had originally thought that Li Heng creating Reincarnation in this small world was a genius, qualified to receive the inheritance of Reincarnation. This attitude was actually a condescending one; it was an assessment.

But now, he discovered that he was terrifyingly ignorant.

Judging by the strength Li Heng had displayed so far, even if he could not override the peak Ten Thousand Worlds Great Reincarnation, he simply did not need the Reincarnation inheritance he had to offer.

At the very least, he did not need the core process.

"What origin do you think I have?"

Li Heng raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.

Youxuan fell into silence; was he asking him to guess?

"Youxuan does not know."

He shook his head and spoke softly.

"You don't even dare to guess; what are you afraid of? Afraid that you'll guess wrong, I'll be annoyed by shame, and then vent my anger on you?"

Li Heng said with a smile.

"Youxuan would not dare, but the Great Void is endless, and the experts within are as numerous as the stars; let alone an accurate answer, even an approximate one, Youxuan cannot provide."

Youxuan answered honestly.

"Then why do you think I told you to guess?"

Li Heng looked at him with a half-smile.

Youxuan was startled upon hearing this, his heart shaken. What did these words mean? Was he toying with him, or was he indicating that there was indeed a possibility that he could guess Li Heng's origin or identity correctly?

But those he could remember...

Every one of them was a renowned, noble expert or held a supreme status. Although he felt Li Heng was indeed powerful, he shouldn't be powerful to that extent, right?

The probability of such a possibility was almost impossible, just like the number one leader of a country suddenly appearing in front of him.

He did not want to guess now, but he knew even more that he had to guess, even if he guessed wrong.

So, he fell into thought.

Creating Reincarnation...

And being able to repair a part of the Reincarnation Disk...

He thought of several noble existences in the Void related to Reincarnation or Time. However, he always felt that these noble existences did not match the Li Heng before him.

At this time, at the beginning of the origin of Heaven and Earth.

Sitting cross-legged in the chaos, closing his eyes to repair his own Dao foundation, Xuanyang finally opened his eyes, releasing a divine light that opened the heavens and split the earth, agitating the chaos and calming the Earthly Fire Wind and Water.

A vast world slowly evolved before his eyes.

At this moment, he had completely restored his Dao foundation, and the two selves became one.

His own realm leaped from the previous Creation Realm to the Half-Step Sacred Realm, returning to his peak. Moreover, through destruction came creation; he was blessed by misfortune, becoming stronger than before and taking another step toward the Sacred.

His heart was filled with excitement.

How many years had it been? If not for the appearance of Li Heng, he feared he would never have been able to return to his peak, to the Half-Step Sacred Realm!

Watching the vast world before him gradually evolve, Xuanyang sighed with emotion, a smile on his face. "Today is a joyous day; I have returned to my peak. Consider it this world's good fortune, so I shall help you become True Reality."

For the original Present World, the past was just the past; it was merely a phantom of history, not a real world, just like those original branching timelines.

However, now that he had returned to his peak, he was in a great mood, and he had the strength to make this newly opened and evolved world become True Reality; this could also be considered the karmic affinity of this brand-new world.

Just as he was about to act, he suddenly frowned.

"Eh, what is going on? This world..."

Xuanyang suddenly discovered that he did not need to act at all. This world, which he had opened and evolved with the divine light of his eyes, was already True Reality; it was not a phantom of history.

But this should not be.

Although this world had just been opened and evolved, this was the past, the beginning of the origin of Heaven and Earth; it had long passed the current Node and should only belong to a historical phantom.

Since it was a historical phantom, how could it be called True Reality?

In his confusion, he shifted his gaze to the surroundings, piercing through time and space, only to be shocked to find that everything around him had taken on a new look. Although the Present World still looked like the Present World and the Time-Space River still looked like the Time-Space River, their essence was already extremely different!

The timelines that were originally illusory possibilities had actually all become real? But this was clearly not something the volume of the original Present World could afford!

He continued to observe, traveling through time and space, and as he watched, his scalp gradually went numb. Was this still the small world he had originally opened, which had a special essence and was used as a Lighthouse, but had a small volume?

Why is the volume so Terror now?!

It seems, even, to exceed him, a Half-step Divine!

He saw the Time-Space River extending all the way, branching into countless tributary timelines, and the tributary timelines branching again, repeating endlessly in this way, a continuous Cycle, piling the volume up to a degree of Terror!

Xuanyang immediately realized that something had gone absolutely wrong.

Who renovated and expanded his home?

Could it be...

A shock went through his heart as he thought of one person, and at this very moment, various pieces of information surged into his mind and appeared before his eyes, seemingly left behind by another him.

Of course, now that the two selves are one, it can also be said to have been left behind by himself. He sensed the information slightly and immediately fell into silence.

Afterward, he sighed softly, his figure vanished from where he stood, crossed time and space, arrived at the Xianshi Tiandi where the current Node is located, sensed Li Heng's aura, and came before Li Heng in the Netherworld.

"Subject Xuanyang pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"

His expression was solemn, waves stirred in his heart, and he bowed to Li Heng, performing the rites of a subject to a sovereign.

Youxuan, standing to the side, was dumbfounded upon hearing these words.

What? He is the Heavenly Emperor!
