Chapter 49: Disaster at the Imperial Capital

The fifty-first year of the Empress, spring.

On this day, on the Heavenly Altar, Empress Li Hongyu wore a yellow robe, holding the Imperial Jade Seal in her hands.

Everything was ready.

Li Hongyu was just waiting for information from her father to ascend in one go and reopen a realm.

Everyone was staring at the movement on the Heavenly Altar. Because this was a true Conferment of the Gods.

From now on, they would no longer need to fight for any divine objects. They only needed to fulfill their godly official positions and do their jobs well to steadily improve their realms. And most temptingly, they could be as eternal as heaven and earth.

Such temptation was irresistible to anyone.

Even Li Dongdong and Long Zhan, living beings from other worlds, felt some yearning for this, but they were not beings of this realm and could not obtain the recognition of the laws, so they could not participate in this change of heaven and earth.

"The ancestor is really something, not even taking care of me, his descendant."

Li Dongdong complained a little.

He didn't want to return to the Lanyu Continent at all; there, he was just an inconspicuous member of the Li Family, and people didn't think much of him.

It was different in the Great Chu Dynasty. Because of his identity and the existence of his ancestor, he had everything he wanted. It was quite enjoyable.

"You simpleton, what are you saying? If this mission succeeds, there will naturally be benefits for you. We are not practicing the cultivation path of this world, so how could we participate in the Conferment of the Gods? Do you really want to discard your cultivation and go onto that so-called Conferment List?"

Long Zhan reprimanded Li Dongdong for the first time.

Although the Conferment List is good, it is nothing more than a puppet. If others don't know, don't they know? It's not like the Lanyu Continent hasn't had such situations. The Mechanical True Lord is even more ruthless than the Pioneer Revolutionary. The new system built by the Mechanical True Lord truly encompasses everyone, leaving them unable to move. What is longevity? If the Mechanical True Lord were willing, all living beings on the Lanyu Continent could instantly become a collective, turning into the Heavenly Dao.

At the thought of the Mechanical True Lord, Long Zhan couldn't help but shudder.

On the Lanyu Continent, the Li Family left behind by the Pioneer Revolutionary is the most special. Although other living beings say the Li Family is an anomaly, they all envy the Li Family in their hearts because the Li Family is truly independent of the Mechanical True Lord.

Although he doesn't know why the Mechanical True Lord would do this, there must be his reasons.

This Li Dongdong is truly blessed but doesn't know it.

"What are you talking to this simpleton for?"

Bai Wu said with disdain.

She looked down on Li Dongdong, who always used the Pioneer Revolutionary as a banner while being a person who didn't seek progress himself.

"What do you know? You seek progress, you rely on yourselves, how can you know my happiness? The greatest pleasure in a person's life is to have a backer. Do you have one?"

Li Dongdong was not ashamed, but proud.

"Stop talking, it's coming."

In the sky, a gust of wind suddenly blew.

Everyone stared at the sky.

The clouds rolled, like surging waves.

A huge figure slowly descended from the clouds.

The figure wore a golden crown, with a huge golden wheel behind him, sitting on a golden throne, looking solemn and dignified.

The person who came was Li Xianzhi.

If it weren't for him, today's Conferment of the Gods would be a joke. Let alone conferring gods, based on the cultivation of the people below, they probably wouldn't even know where the Yintu was.

Li Xianzhi's huge palm slowly fell toward the bottom.

In his hand was a nebula.

This nebula was nothing else but a part of the Xu Hai in the Yintu, which is the birthplace of new gods and the place where old gods are destroyed.

With this Xu Hai.

This Conferment of the Gods had information support and a place to stand.

"Spring of the 200,000th year of the Imperial Dynasty era, Empress Li Hongyu, because I feel the change of the legal system of heaven and earth and the suffering of the common people, I hereby respectfully inform Heaven to open another realm to suppress this calamity and end future troubles forever."

Li Hongyu bowed to Li Xianzhi three times.

She was not bowing to her father, but to the Central Heavenly Lord who holds the core of the entire legal system.

"Granted."

A galaxy fell, and the entire Imperial Capital rose from the ground.

The Black Tortoise Array above the Imperial Capital opened.

Xiao Xuan transformed into his true form, his entire body crawling above the Imperial Capital, protecting the Imperial Capital as it leaped through the void, so it would not be affected by the turbulence.

"It has finally arrived."

Li Qingxian, in white clothes, stroked his newly grown beard, his face full of smiles.

He had waited too long for this moment.

The Imperial Capital flew higher and higher until it turned into a light spot the size of a grain of rice, disappearing into that sea of stars.

The moment the Imperial Capital entered the sea of stars, the entrance to the sea of stars seemed to be about to close immediately.

Zhenshen Pass flew out.

It firmly propped up a portal. This was all prepared in advance, so it was safe despite the danger.

But the bad thing still happened.

Even Li Xianzhi underestimated the power of that piece of Xu Hai.

The moment the entire Imperial Capital fell into the Xu Hai, a powerful force turned into stars, pressing down on the Imperial Capital.

The entire Imperial Capital seemed to have fallen into the deep sea, and the huge pressure made the entire Imperial Capital on the verge of shattering.

The Black Tortoise, Xiao Xuan, is known for his defense.

Under this pressure, his turtle shell was slightly deformed, and vaguely, even his true body could hardly be stabilized.

"This." Li Xianzhi's face changed slightly.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

Seeing Li Xianzhi suffer a setback, the Demon Lord showed a happy smile.

"I didn't expect you to have a miscalculation. What is that Xu Hai? It is the source of the end and the new birth. You dropped the material from the middle of time into it. Even if you now hold the Heavenly Dao and have permitted some Conferment List, turning it into an Information Furnace, you cannot fully integrate all the information of the past and future. Unless..."

The Demon Lord kept him in suspense.

"Unless what?"

Li Xianzhi was a little anxious. He could not care about others, but his daughter was still inside. In this situation, he could only rely on Li Hongyu and the others; otherwise, all his efforts would be wasted. Li Xianzhi did not dare to act rashly.

"Why should I tell you? We are enemies."

"Don't keep me in suspense. How can your dilapidated Hundred Trades Federation compare to my newly born Heavenly Realm? How about I promise you a fair place in the future when I integrate the legal systems of all heavens?"

Li Xianzhi offered his conditions. There was no other way; this new Heavenly Realm had cost him a great price and was also a plan for the future, so it could not be lost.

"Unless that Empress can completely merge into the Xu Hai, hold high the new god throne, and master all the past and future." Hearing Li Xianzhi's promise, the Demon Lord immediately became interested.

He was waiting for these words.

"Impossible."

Li Xianzhi refused decisively. If she merged with those things, would his daughter still be his daughter?

He didn't want his daughter to become a soulless spokesperson for a new legal system. What's more, if the new Heavenly Realm was just a place for a new legal system, then what was the point of everything he had done?

What Li Xianzhi wanted was a world where infinite changes could take place, not a place for the reincarnation of legal systems. ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
