The Ancestral Empress’s expression grew complex. *The Human Emperor, he actually wasn’t greedy for fa and profit, living so incorruptibly.*
*So, this was the Human Emperor?*
*Maybe only soone with that kind of character could have been chosen by the heavens, to sit atop the Human Emperor’s Qi Fortune.*
*If Xiao Ye knew what she was thinking, he probably would have been so embarrassed he could carve out a three-bedroom apartnt with his toes.*
*Wherever he went, it wasn’t quite "taking the feathers from every flying goose," but at least "leaving nothing behind like locusts passing through."*
*He always acted in his own best interests.*
In the rear, the entire Fierce Beast Army had already started to regard Xiao Ye as an existence on par with the Ancestral Empress.
They saw the two standing side by side, chatting and laughing as equals.
*A strange thought crept into their hearts—a match made in heaven, golden branches and jade leaves, born to walk the path together.*
The Divine Spirit Will of Blue Star spoke up,
"Human Emperor, Ancestral Empress, this ti the Milky Way Galaxy won a glorious victory. The White Horse Demon Path was completely wiped out."
"The three of us will return to Blue Star first to recuperate, and we’ll leave the matters of the Starry Sky Great Wall to you two."
The Ancestral Empress nodded, indicating it was no problem.
Xiao Ye felt lost.
He glanced back over his shoulder.
There was a vast, towering, and narrow Starry Sky Main City encircling the Milky Way Galaxy.
But now, after this battle, the Starry Sky Great Wall was badly damaged. At a glance, he saw only wreckage and ruined asteroids.
Looking closer, one could just barely make out that this was a long, narrow Starry Sky Great Wall.
The three Divine Spirit Wills whose bodies had faded away left, as the Ancestral Empress’s voice bood through the starry sky,
"Let introduce you. This is the Human Emperor, the one blessed with the Qi Fortune of the Human Emperor."
"He’s the Human Emperor who led the Milky Way Galaxy to rise up."
"From now on, seeing him will be as if you are seeing ."
The hundred thousand-strong Fierce Beast Army was stunned.
*The Human Emperor, he was truly the Human Emperor!*
After a mont of silence, a neat and thunderous clamor echoed through the stars,
"We pay our respects to the Human Emperor!"
"The Human Emperor is mighty—single-handedly wiping out the Demon Army!"
Seeing their respectful gaze and half-kneeling stances, Xiao Ye hoisted the one hundred billion-zhang Black Gold Bronze Hall with one hand, the aura of Human Emperor’s Qi Fortune growing even denser.
He spoke calmly,
"All soldiers, hear my command, repair the Starry Sky Great Wall."
"Though the White Horse Demon Path has fallen, the starry sky still needs defending."
"After the repairs, you may take turns returning to your ho planets to visit your families, and you can share what happened on the Starry Battlefield."
"You can choose to let your descendants take your place in defending the starry sky."
At these words, the eyes of the hundred thousand fierce beasts lit up.
*Returning ho to visit family—sothing they never even dared imagine before, because the Empress never allowed it!*
*But the mont the Human Emperor took over, that rule was broken, and their children could even take over the sacred duty of defending the starry sky!*
"The Human Emperor is mighty! From now on, we’ll look to the Human Emperor for direction and obey his commands!"
"The Human Emperor truly lives up to his na—he’s so humane!"
"Human Emperor, you’re my idol! I gotta get your portrait frad and worship it, day and night!"
"I suggest building a statue of the Human Emperor in the Starry Sky Main City, so our future generations can witness his glory!"
This move from Xiao Ye totally won over the hearts of the whole Fierce Beast Army.
The Fierce Beast Army revered and respected him even more.
The Ancestral Empress watched Xiao Ye shining in his lilight, her heart racing for no apparent reason. Her pretty cheeks flushed red, and her knees squeezed together a bit.
*The Human Emperor right now... damn, he was seriously handso, right to the core of her heart!*
*Maybe the Human Emperor was even more fit for leadership than she was, as Empress.*
Xiao Ye glanced at the Fierce Beast Army, totally oblivious to the fact that the Empress beside him was gazing at him with sultry, lovelorn eyes, utterly dazed, staring straight at him.
...
Blue Star, Rule Domain, Middle Region, Zi Family’s Imperial Race.
The victory banquet was still raging, the atmosphere utterly on fire.
The Zi Dao couple, Ziran, Yun Bing, and Yunxi were eating and celebrating to their heart’s content.
The Fate Divine Spirit sat quietly at her seat, wearing an indifferent expression, as if nothing around her mattered at all.
*She felt a little restless and distracted.*
*Sitting here, her mind wandered who knows where.*
*The image of the Human Emperor kept popping into her mind, lingering no matter how she tried to shake it.*
The Fate Divine Spirit stared off in a daze. *She silently asked herself, what the heck was going on with her?*
*She didn’t actually feel any pain inside.*
*Whenever the Human Emperor’s image surfaced, it wasn’t so inner demon giving her trouble—she just couldn’t help thinking about the Human Emperor.*
*She wasn’t worried about the Human Emperor’s safety.*
*With the Ancestral Empress tagging along, there was no way the Human Emperor would be in danger.*
*’Wait, am I falling for the Human Emperor?’*
*’I’ve investigated the fate of plenty of humans, and this kind of behavior is exactly how they act when they crush on soone.’*
*’But why the hell would I fall for the Human Emperor?’
*’I’m the Fate Divine Spirit, for crying out loud.’*
Ziran’s voice drifted over, "Xiaobing, Xiaoxi, I wonder how our bestie Qingcheng is doing in the future."
"After she traveled to the future, did she et our future selves?"
Yun Bing replied, wide open and without a care, "Of course she did."
"As long as we don’t die in the future, she’ll definitely et future us, future Xiao Ye, and her future self!"
The Fate Divine Spirit was suddenly jolted awake.
*Gu Qingcheng went to the future?*
*No, wait. Isn’t she, the Fate Divine Spirit, Gu Qingcheng? How could there be another Gu Qingcheng?*
Yunxi coolly analyzed, "I bet once Qingcheng got to the future, her Soul Body injuries were probably healed, and they recreated her physical body too."
"According to what Obsessed Body Qingcheng said, future Xiao Ye has already beco the Universe’s Supre."
"Healing the Soul Body and creating a new body are incredibly tough for us now, but for future Xiao Ye, it’s probably no biggie."
"The strange thing is, why hasn’t Qingcheng ti traveled back yet?"
"Ti travel is super fantastical—Qingcheng left half a day ago, so in the very next mont after that, she should have hopped back, raring to go."
Ziran gave a little yelp, "There’s no way anything bad happened to Qingcheng."
"Why are we worrying about this, worrying about that?"
"Let’s just wait and see."
"Who knows, maybe in a few days Qingcheng will just ti travel back."
"From our perspective, it’s only been a day or two, but maybe she’s already spent hundreds of thousands of years in the future."
*Spent hundreds of thousands of years?*
Yun Bing’s mouth twitched. *Wouldn’t that make Qingcheng an old lady by now?*
"No way, we gotta tell Xiao Ye. We can’t let Qingcheng stay in the future too long."
"Ti erases everything, even emotions and bestie bonds. If she’s gone so long she forgets us, what’ll we do?"
The Fate Divine Spirit listened quietly, looking a bit absent-minded.
*So there really was another Gu Qingcheng, sent to the future.*
*The Human Emperor—he loved Gu Qingcheng.*
*So what was up with her, the Fate Divine Spirit?*
*There couldn’t possibly be two Gu Qingchengs at once!*
*Everyone says she, the Fate Divine Spirit, is Gu Qingcheng.*
*And honestly, deep down she really did love the Human Emperor.*
*This was just too weird.*
*When the Human Emperor got back, she definitely had to get to the bottom of this.*
*Just who was she, the Fate Divine Spirit, really?*
Another half an hour passed.
Xiao Ye and the Ancestral Empress appeared at the banquet.
Zi Dao was overjoyed, quickly grabbing Xiao Ye and fussing all over him,
Poking and prodding him here, poking and prodding him there.
Xiao Ye hurriedly caught Zi Dao’s wandering hands before he could poke sowhere unspeakable, his mouth twitching as he said,
"Father-in-law, what are you doing?"
"I’m not into guys! Besides, even if you had that kink, you can’t go after —I’m your son-in-law!"
Zi Dao froze for a second. Seeing his wife’s eyes scrutinizing him, he got super embarrassed, and said,
"My orientation is perfectly normal!"
"Son-in-law, I just checked you over. You aren’t hurt—that’s fantastic!"
"That Starry Battlefield is so dangerous. You shouldn’t go again. If the sky falls, there are taller folks to hold it up—it’s not your turn, as a young guy, to shoulder this stress and responsibility that doesn’t belong to your age."
