Yu Tu’s voice was not loud but a little low, not revealing any excitement. It was, however, full of expectation for Ye Futian.

Now, for them, they were still mired in crisis. Yu Tu knew how strong she was, but despite her strength, she had not been able to fulfill her wish.

Until today, in the dawn of the Age of the Gods, something unusual had been stirred up inside the Human Divine Palace. The great buddhas in the World of Buddhism had detected something also, and everything pointed that “he” may be soon returning.

This was a fight for the heavens, and the price of failure was death.

“Godfather, please get up,” Ye Futian said as Yu Tu got up.

Ye Futian looked at Yu Tu and then at Donghuang Diyuan and many other faces. The cultivators from Ye Imperial Palace had heard the truth of everything, and they could find no words at the moment. Everything that had just been revealed to them had a meaningful impact on them, and Emperor Xia was filled with emotion.

Fate had pushed him forward, and he had arrived at this point only to discover that everything was not as he thought. 200 years of understanding was overturned in an instant. The severity of the impact on Ye Futian could only be imagined. Naturally, he found everything challenging to bear at the moment.

Ye Futian turned around and directed his attention at Donghuang the Great again. He looked at his wound and said, “If I had known the truth then, I might have jabbed it a little harder.”

“You can jab one more time if you want.” Donghuang the Great didn’t seem to care as he responded.

He owed this debt, and he was indebted to too many people.

“You are so eager to give up your throne because you don’t want to sit on it,” Ye Futian said. “Sitting on the divine throne will only make you feel guilty, so you want to give it to me directly.”

Donghuang the Great was silent. Indeed, he too had endured much over the years.

“If that’s the case, why should I spare you?” Ye Futian said, “You are not that old, and you are still one of the strongest emperors out of the six in the world. Why do you want to surrender? This position does not belong only to you but also to Emperor Ye Qing. Yes, this throne is yours to suffer.”

Ye Futian did not want to sit on the throne of the Divine Prefecture.

“More importantly, even if the throne is to be passed on in the future, it should be passed on to her,” Ye Futian looked at Donghuang Diyuan.

Donghuang Diyuan was stunned, looking at Ye Futian with surprise.

She knew that Donghuang the Great had been waiting for the day when Ye Futian would step into the imperial palace of the Divine Prefecture. While he wished that Ye Futian could come here as soon as possible, he also hoped that he would not come here too quickly so that his realm could continue to be elevated. The throne of the Divine Prefecture had always been reserved for him.

Donghuang the Great felt he had a lot to make up to him.

Donghuang the Great was also a little surprised. As he looked at Ye Futian, Futian continued, “The name that has been used for 200 years can’t be changed by a few of your words. Don’t you agree?”

When he heard this, Donghuang the Great understood Ye Futian’s meaning. He took a deep breath, and a feeling of warmth flowed through him.

“No, you will still use the name Ye!” Donghuang the Great said, “The throne of the Divine Prefecture will be passed on to Diyuan. Donghuang Diyuan!”

“Then it’s settled.” Ye Futian nodded and then said, “Should I go see her?”

“Go. She has been waiting for you for a long time,” Donghuang the Great said with a smile.

“Mmm,” Ye Futian replied. Then he disappeared directly from where he was and left just like that, leaving everyone behind.

Under the stairs, everyone from Donghuang Imperial Palace was about to come and meet the New Emperor, but the New Emperor had left.

Even Yu Tu looked stunned as he froze in place.

That’s right. They must remember Ye Futian was no longer the boy of yesterday.

When Yu Tu thought of this, he let out a sigh. At this moment, he seemed to age a lot all of a sudden.

“Please go back,” Donghuang the Great said to those who had come for an audience. Divine glory was shining over him, and before anyone figured out what was going on, they retreated.

However, they saw the smile in the eyes of Donghuang the Great. The cultivator in Donghuang imperial Palace had never seen such a smile on the Great Emperor, ever.

This smile seemed to be a kind, calm honesty mixed with relief.

It was as if he had finally been released of a burden.

…

Heaven Realm—the ninety-ninth heaven, above the Heavenly Palace.

Ji Wudao opened his eyes as he stood up slowly, looking up into the sky. In his eyes, there was a touch of extremely complicated emotions.

Previously, he had gone to the Human Divine Palace, intending to take advantage of the battle of the six emperors and hunt down the cultivators from the Human Divine Palace.

Later, when several Great Emperors emerged from Human Divine Palace, he retreated after being defeated and returned here to cultivate.

However, not too long ago, he got a message from the Divine Prefecture.

Donghuang the Great wanted to pass on the throne to Ye Futian.

He suddenly understood many things at that moment, such as why the Original Realm had produced such a proud son of heaven and why he had always felt that something was lacking in Donghuang Diyuan.

At this moment, all his doubts were answered.

Donghuang Diyuan was not her descendant after all.

Ye Futian was!

“Creating his own micro Heavenly Path!” Ji Wudao exclaimed in a low voice. Above the Heavenly Palace, quite a few people stared at Ji Wudao from behind. They could feel that something was different about Ji Wudao at this time, but exactly what was different about him, they couldn’t say.

Did something happen?

“In the years past, I have traveled to many places, trying to find out what happened back then and finally gotten to know some of it. In my opinion, Donghuang is just a coward. Not only did he abandon you, but also he severed his relationship with the Heaven Realm to protect himself, which caused the war with Emperor Ye.” Ji Wudao looked at the firmament as if talking to himself.

“I also found out that the Human Ancestor was the most likely suspect behind what happened back then. Therefore, I have always regarded the Human Realm as the enemy and aimed to destroy the Human Realm. One day, when I prove the Way and achieve great success, I will destroy the Human Divine Palace, execute the Human Ancestor, and find the person responsible for all that happened in the past.

“Originally, I wanted to marry Diyuan, to make your daughter the queen and a maternal model for the world.

“Of course, what I want to do the most is to make up for the loss. For the past 200 years, I have always known that you were there, though you have never really said a word to me. Therefore, I think that if one day I can prove the way, I will resurrect you and call you Master!”

Ji Wudao spoke slowly; his voice was unbelievably gentle and full of reverence.

This was the fearless and lawless Ji Wudao speaking. He devoured cultivators from all sides to strengthen himself; even Great Emperors were no exception. He ignored everything and everyone, calling Donghuang the Great a coward. When the six emperors gathered, he had disguised himself to stir the pot among them.

However, at this moment, he appeared so gentle. The people in Heavenly Palace had never seen this side of Ji Wudao, and everyone in the ninety-ninth heaven was stunned when they heard him. They had no idea what had just happened.

Who was Ji Wudao talking to?

Was it the Heavenly Path above the ninety-ninth heaven?

Was this piece of the Heavenly Path the Heavenly Emperor?

“But is all of this just wishful thinking?” Ji Wudao asked the firmament. “I hope not!”

Having said that, he quietly looked at the sky without saying another word as he continued staring into the sky.

He was waiting—waiting for an answer!
