Chapter 184: Self-Blame and Regret

~8 min read 1,451 words

"Zhulong! Come out, this Emperor has decided!"

At this moment, Huang Tiandi suddenly raised his head to look toward an unknown place.

In the Daqian Core, while Zhulong's main consciousness was contemplating the Source Law,

he was also constantly monitoring the situation within the Immortal Court of the Immortal World.

Seeing Huang Tiandi act this way, he immediately manifested an avatar in the Immortal Court of the Immortal World.

Zhulong, having revealed his avatar, coiled his body and watched Huang Tiandi calmly.

"You have decided?"

Looking at Zhulong before him, who was stronger than him even as a mere avatar, Huang Tiandi felt his resolve grow even firmer.

He firmly believed that he, Huang Tiandi, was not inferior to others! Since Zhulong could achieve the Proof of Rice, then he, Huang Tiandi, certainly could too! Having thought this, he immediately said firmly: "Yes, this Emperor has decided!"

But then he changed the subject: "However, I still need you to bring my son back from the Reincarnation of time and space!"

Upon hearing this, a flash of brilliance crossed Zhulong's eyes, and he laughed heartily: "That is a trivial matter. This Venerable has already reported your decision to His Majesty; you all should prepare early!"

Having said this, Zhulong's figure slowly faded away.

Watching the departing Zhulong, Huang Tiandi fell into silence, then thought to himself.

"This is the main reason I do not wish to stay in this world! Every moment is spent under the gaze of others, yet you can only feel helpless! However... in the future, this Emperor will definitely return..."

Thinking of this, Huang Tiandi's eyes grew even brighter.

Daqian Core.

Zhulong, having withdrawn his avatar, pondered for a moment, then his consciousness descended into the River of Time of this world and slowly began to swim upstream.

Long ago, when he mastered the World Origin and became the Lord of the Yishou Zhetian Dachan world,

he had already explored the entire world's River of Fate and River of Time thoroughly.

Therefore, he held great admiration for a person like Huang Tiandi.

However, for a figure who did not belong to the Divine Court, Huang Tiandi alone was enough.

That Wushi Dadi who had not yet grown up, as well as the two who had not yet been born, the Wolfman Emperor and Ye Tiandi.

The future could only belong to the geniuses of the Divine Court! Yishou Zhetian, River of Time.

The battle between Shi Hao and the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors in the Boundary Sea.

Less than half of the eight hundred old veterans protected Huang Tiandi's son, fighting all the way to the battlefield of the three Emperors.

Just as Huang Tiandi and the Dark Three Emperors were locked in a struggle of mutual attrition, and Little Stone and the others were preparing to sacrifice themselves to restore Huang Tiandi's essence, spirit, and energy,

Zhulong, who was above time and space, took action.

He did not directly seize Little Stone's primordial spirit, but rather, at the moment of his self-sacrifice,

he used supreme divine power to replace Little Stone's essence, spirit, and energy.

In other words, Little Stone failed to sacrifice himself; instead, he was secretly fished out of the River of Time by Zhulong.

What truly allowed Huang Tiandi to recover was actually another Little Stone evolved by Zhulong using supreme divine power.

To those who were only at the Daluo God Initial Realm at the time, they could not possibly discover this.

The one sacrificing themselves before them was not Little Stone at all, but a figure secretly replaced by Zhulong with divine power.

Thus, a vigorous Immortal King powerhouse, right before the eyes of Huang Tiandi and the others, gradually withered away, until his form and spirit were completely destroyed.

"No! My child!"

In the River of Time, Huang Tiandi roared at the sky, his eyes filled with blood and tears.

Even though he had recovered slightly from his broken body due to his son's sacrifice,

he still felt incomparable grief, as if his heart were exhausted.

Thus, amidst his roaring, he glared angrily at Yu Di and the others among the Dark Three Emperors.

Outside the River of Time.

Zhulong looked at the sleeping Little Stone in his hand, then at the others in the river who were currently sacrificing or had already sacrificed themselves.

"Forget it, forget it. Since you wish to wage war against the Chaos All Heavens, then this Venerable shall lend you a helping hand!"

Having said this, Zhulong once again secretly used the Hand of Time to fish in the River of Time.

He did not stop until he had replaced everyone Huang Tiandi had sacrificed, secretly swapping them out and fishing them from the River of Time.

Of course, Zhulong did not only fish from the battle of the three Emperors in the Boundary Sea.

He also fished out, one by one, the relatives and friends of Huang Tiandi who had sacrificed themselves from the even more distant past.

Because he fished them out at the moment of their impending death,

he did not change the historical progression of Yishou Zhetian.

When Zhulong stopped, his other large hand was already holding over a hundred people.

Besides Huang Tiandi's son Little Stone, there were also Shi Yi, Pan Wang, Qin Hao, Golden Horned Ant, Lord Bird, Red Dragon, and Grandpa Jingbi.

Of course, this also included his other two wives who had waited bitterly in the mortal world until they died.

Thinking of the Huo Ling following behind Huang Tiandi, the corner of Zhulong's mouth could not help but reveal a mischievous smile.

"Interesting, I wonder what kind of expression Huang Tiandi will have later?"

Zhulong laughed secretly in his heart.

With a sweep of his large hand, Zhulong brought the hundred-plus people down the River of Time until they returned to the current World Core.

Zhulong manifested his avatar again, healed the injuries of the hundred-plus people he had brought back, and then carried them as he tore through space toward the Immortal World.

Immortal World.

After determining the personnel for the expedition to the All Heavens, Huang Tiandi began to instruct his subordinates to prepare various resources.

They were already prepared for a long-term war in that Daqian world they would conquer in the future.

Therefore, various cultivation resources were indispensable.

Inside the main hall of the Immortal Court.

A Copper Coffin was placed in the center of the main hall.

Huang Tiandi stood to one side, his face showing a look of reminiscence.

"My child, over a million years have passed since that great battle; once Zhulong brings back your primordial spirit, that shall be the day of your rebirth!"

Huang Tiandi murmured to himself.

In his anticipation, with Zhulong's strength, he would surely be able to seize Little Stone's primordial spirit from the River of Time.

Once he brought back Little Stone's primordial spirit, he would then fuse it with Little Stone's remains.

At that moment, he would use his great divine powers, and even countless divine sources, to surely restore Little Stone's essence, energy, and spirit to perfection.

For this reason, feeling agitated, he immediately brought out Little Stone's Copper Coffin from among the hundreds of Copper Coffins in the Immortal Tomb.

Those hundreds of Copper Coffins in the Immortal Tomb were established by him for those friends and family who had passed away because of him.

It was not that he did not want to resurrect them all.

Beyond not wanting to owe any more favors to the Divine Court, it was more that he wanted to personally bring them back from the River of Time.

This was his promise to them.

At this moment.

Huang Tiandi looked at the emaciated Little Stone in the coffin, unable to help but fall into self-reproach and regret once again.

If not for him, his child, Little Stone, would not have died from sacrificing himself.

"Haha!"

Zhulong's bold voice grew from faint to deep, suddenly resounding within the main hall.

Upon hearing this, Huang Tiandi immediately looked up.

He saw that Zhulong, having transformed into human form, was now standing on the other side of the Copper Coffin, though he did not know when he had arrived.

Huang Tiandi calmed the emotions in his heart, then asked indifferently.

"So, can the Creation God Zhulong bring back my son's primordial spirit?"

"Just watch!"

Zhulong did not say much, extending his palm to gesture to Huang Tiandi.

He saw that on Zhulong's previously empty palm, hundreds of tiny figures, shrunk a hundredfold, had appeared out of thin air.

With sharp eyes, Huang Tiandi immediately recognized the information of those hundreds of figures.
