Translated by: Hypersheep325

Within the resplendent palace was a majestic middle-aged man in a dragon robe, surrounded by a sea of energy, motionless and seated upon a massive throne.
His eyes looked in the direction of Wang Chong’s group, his expression compassionate and serene, as if he had been quietly waiting this whole ti.
Upon seeing this figure, anyone would feel like they were looking up at an imposing mountain, and their minds would be filled with reverence and respect.
The originator of human civilization, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan!
As he looked at that figure on the throne, Wang Chong instantly understood who it was.
This was the originator of all civilization in the Central Plains.
The man on the throne had united all under heaven, established China, built up its civilization, and cherished its people, thus creating a civilization that had persisted in the Central Plains ever since.
This man had not rely united the realm in the physical sense. He had created the soul of the Central Plains.
Wang Chong had never imagined that this would be how he would run into Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.
But deep down, Wang Chong knew that this person had yet another identity that no one else knew about.
Destiny Experintal Body 2!
When Wang Chong reached the doors, he could clearly sense the call coming from another Stone of Destiny, and this sensation was growing stronger and stronger.
Wang Chong felt a complicated mixture of emotions. At the start, Wang Chong would have never imagined that this man on the throne was a transmigrator like him.
But Wang Chong quickly turned his head to the grief-stricken Little Nightmare, only a ntal body now. It passed Wang Chong and dejectedly made its way into the palace.
Everything was clear now. The one who had created this massive world in the depths of the Celestial Palace was none other than the Little Grass who had been constantly on its mind. Wang Chong and Li Xuantu had already realized this, but for Little Nightmare, only now did it truly believe the reality before its eyes.
That person who had grown up together with it, its constant companion, its master and friend, was truly gone, disappeared forever.
“M-... Master.”
Upon reaching the throne, Little Nightmare threw itself on the body and began to wail.
Wang Chong couldn’t help but feel sadness at these cries.
Little Nightmare was a beast, not a human, but its soul and the emotions it felt were no different from a human’s.
“I ca too late!”
A long sigh brimming with infinite sorrow resounded through the hall.
At this mont, a golden point of light burst out from Wang Chong’s forehead. This hazy light quickly ford into a projection of a person wearing a tall hat and a wide belt. As this figure looked at the man on the throne, their eyes were stricken with grief.
It was Master Guangcheng!
Wang Chong was not at all surprised to see this figure.
Before they had set out, Master Guangcheng had left a ntal brand on Wang Chong. This was rely a projection without any special abilities. Master Guangcheng’s actual body was still on the ground, in the Western Mausoleum.
Wang Chong recalled the conversation he had had with Master Guangcheng before leaving the Western Mausoleum.
“Kid, I hope that you can help with sothing!”
“What does Senior require? So long as it is within this junior’s abilities, this junior will do all he can,” Wang Chong had said.
“It’s not that big of a deal. You just need to help with sothing.”
Master Guangcheng had extended a finger and placed it on the center of Wang Chong’s forehead, leaving behind a ntal brand.
“Senior, what is this?”
“No need for questions. If you can’t reach that place, there’s naturally no aning to it. If you do manage to get there, you’ll naturally understand. Perhaps I’m just overthinking it...”
......
That conversation had ended with a long sigh from Master Guangcheng.
Master Guangcheng had not said any more, and Wang Chong had not asked any more questions.
But now that he thought back to it, Wang Chong suddenly felt that since master and disciple were linked, perhaps Master Guangcheng had already realized sothing before they had set out?
Did he already know that Xuanyuan was here?
Wang Chong quickly ca back to his senses.
This was a mont that belonged to Little Nightmare, Master Guangcheng, and Xuanyuan, a mont for the master-servant and teacher-disciple relationships from more than one thousand years ago. Nothing else mattered.
Wang Chong silently stood on the side, not disturbing them.
“Ti...
“Fate...
“As your teacher, in the end, I was still too late!”
Master Guangcheng painfully closed his eyes, his face stricken with grief. Behind him, Wang Chong could even see that his robes were trembling from the excessive grief.
Wang Chong was greatly moved by this sight.
A simple ntal brand would not tremble like this. There was no doubt that Master Guangcheng had almost lost control of himself. Before this, Master Guangcheng had always seed strict, aloof, and lacking in affection.
But at this mont, Master Guangcheng seed extrely fragile, like a normal old man who was imrsed in sorrow. He even appeared much older than before.
For others, that figure on the throne was just a revered legend, but for Master Guangcheng, this was his disciple, soone who had been alive and who had poured in all his efforts and hopes.
They had been master and disciple, and perhaps they had been close friends, maybe even regarded each other as family.
But when they t again, they were separated by the boundary of life and death!
“Senior...”
Wang Chong sighed, finally stepping forward and comforting him.
“Restrain your grief. If Little Grass were still alive, he would not want you to be so grief-stricken. Our first priority is to stop Heaven so that this tragedy doesn’t repeat itself!”
Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the Qin First Emperor, Huo Qubing, Gen Zhu... and all those countless mummies on the Heaven-Reaching Path, those people who would never be able to leave... These people had all been lured in by Heaven and ultimately slain by him.
The more than three million people in the capital below would soon suffer the sa fate, and countless more people would die if Heaven were not stopped.
Wang Chong was sure that Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, whose body had not decayed despite the passage of ti, had set up this world here and prevented Heaven from fully utilizing the Celestial Palace precisely because he had understood all this.
Everything had its reason.
He must have left sothing behind.
This was also linked with the ‘mission’ that Li Mu had spoken of!
“Master, you have to take revenge for Little Grass!”
Little Nightmare suppressed its grief and looked up at Wang Chong.
“No matter what, Heaven must die!”
Little Nightmare’s eyes reddened and erupted with hatred.
“Mm.”
Wang Chong gave a stern nod.
Little Nightmare hadn’t needed to say anything. He would never let Heaven go.
Bang!
Wang Chong strode forward. He could already sense a shard of the Stone of Destiny in the Yellow Emperor’s forehead. Once he retrieved this ‘Stone of Destiny’, the ‘Stone of Destiny Repair Plan’ would greatly progress, and he would also bring an end to Heaven’s hopes.
No matter what, he could not allow the Stone of Destiny to fall into Heaven’s hands.
But just when Wang Chong was one step away from the throne...
Bang!
Wang Chong’s right foot stepped onto a furtive, palm-sized formation located right in the middle of the stairs.
The formation had been so well-hidden that Wang Chong had failed to notice it.
Light erupted from beneath Wang Chong’s feet, and a special pattern erged on the stairs. It was rather similar to the Taiji pattern, but at the ‘S’ where Yin and Yang intersected, there was a golden true dragon.
The image rapidly expanded, transforming into torrents of light that flowed across the entire palace. A few seconds later, the entire Celestial Emperor Palace shuddered.
The vast sea of boundless energy within it grew restless.
Not only that, the seated figure of Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly began to move.
Crack!
Xuanyuan’s right hand resting on the throne suddenly trembled, and this tiny movent made everyone pale.
“Master!”
“Disciple!”
No one was more agitated than Little Nightmare and Master Guangcheng.
They had thought that the body on the throne was just an empty shell, but at this mont, they felt a faint ntal ripple. This sudden developnt had them overjoyed.
Wang Chong was also flabbergasted, but a mont later, he understood what was happening. Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan had not co back to life. This was simply a psychic remnant he had left behind.
This psychic remnant had been sealed all this ti, and only when Wang Chong stepped onto that formation was the remnant triggered.
Though it seed incredible and very much like a coincidence, Wang Chong was sure that this man from one thousand years ago had predicted his coming and intended for this to happen.
As this thought occurred to him, he felt a vibration from his waist.
The Xuanyuan Sword had been hanging from his waist, his left hand gripping its hilt. But at this mont, the Xuanyuan Sword beca scalding hot. Within the sheath, the sword madly shuddered as if sothing was pulling at it.
Clang!
With a resounding ring, the Xuanyuan Sword flew out as if it had a life of its own and landed in the hand of that imposing figure on the throne.
With the sword returned to its original master, the Yellow Emperor’s body erupted with light.
A majestic voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind.
“Destiny Experintal Body 10, you’re finally here.”
