“It looks like I should be arriving soon.”
Chu Kuangren mumbled as he looked into the vastness of space.
After several months of travel, he was close to reaching the Firmament Star.
‘I wonder how things are going in Firmament Star.’ At that thought, he suddenly stopped his warship and simply parked it somewhere.
Then, he took the star map and dashed towards the Firmament Star alone.
He soon saw a light blue planet in space with a faint golden glow enveloping it. That was the Firmament Star.
The golden light glowing around it was the Detaching Heaven Megaformation.
He hid his aura to prevent startling anyone. After locating Stronghold Thirty-One, his figure disappeared in a flash and easily infiltrated it.
He strolled around within the stronghold, as he always did.
At the same time, his Emperor Thoughts mobilized, rapidly gathering information around him.
After the battle of the Blood Abyss, the Blood Tribe had stopped invading them. Currently, there has been no activity at the Extraterritorial Battlefield at all, which has never happened before.
The cultivators of each great stronghold were bored as they had nothing to do now.
“I’ll find Luo Shui to find out about the current situation.”
Inside the command headquarters.
Luo Shui was watering a pot of flowers in the courtyard.
However, she was frowning heavily, as if troubled by something.
None of them had expected that the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial would cooperate with the gods. No one knew what would happen as a result too.
If this matter was not handled well, the human race might even fall back into the dark times, where they were treated like cattle by the gods.
If that happened, would a second Human King stand up against the gods?!
“Heavenly Golden’s ambitions are just too crazy. He plans to borrow the gods’ power to strengthen himself and become king.”
“Hmph, how would the gods be so easy to control?”
Luo Shui got more upset and stressed the more she thought about it.
She would be fine if only the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial played with fire and burned himself. However, if the whole human race were to be dragged into this, the consequences would be disastrous.
“Now that the Blood Tribe’s threat is gone, the priority is to deal with the things happening in Firmament Star. I must discuss this with the Transcendental Daoist Celestial and others.”
Luo Shui murmured.
“The flowers are going to die if you keep watering them like that.”
At this time, a clear voice sounded.
Luo Shui was stunned for a moment, and her expression changed drastically. The Emperor qi inside her body surged as her miniverse instantly enveloped the whole area.
‘D*mn it!’
‘Did I let my guard down that much?’
‘How can I not detect anyone approaching me?’
When she turned around, she immediately froze upon seeing who it was. She looked at the person standing before her in disbelief.
“Brother Chu?!”
The person who came was none other than Chu Kuangren.
Luo Shui was utterly dumbfounded to see Chu Kuangren.
Too many questions popped up in her mind at that moment.
“Hey, Sister Luo Shui. How’s it going?”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“Brother Chu, what’s going on? You’re not dead?!”
Luo Shui was surprised and overjoyed at the same time.
“Oh, isn’t it obvious?”
Luo Shui retracted her miniverse. She stared at Chu Kuangren and could not help but step forward to pat his chest. “You’re really not dead.”
She could not believe it.
“I’m really alive, you know,” said Chu Kuangren helplessly.
“What exactly is going on?”
“Um… It’s a long story for another time. I can tell something’s bothering you with that gloomy look of yours. You can’t even water the plants properly. Look, they’re going to die with that much water you’re giving them. Just tell me, what’s the matter?”
“If it weren’t because of the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial…” Luo Shui then told Chu Kuangren everything about how the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial intended to cooperate with the gods.
Chu Kuangren’s gaze turned cold upon hearing that. “Oh, like a dead centipede who can still wriggle. It seems like these gods are up to no good again.”
Luo Shui suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.
At that instant, she could sense a terrifying and threatening air coming from Chu Kuangren. ‘How powerful has he gotten?’
“I’ll go and take a look at the situation in Firmament Star. As for the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial, I’ll leave him to you and Brother Transcendental to deal with for now.”
Chu Kuangren said.
Luo Shui pondered a while before she replied, “Alright.”
“By the way, how are the Heavenly Tormentors doing?”
Chu Kuangren vaguely remembered that the Heavenly Tormentors had joined the battle at the Blood Abyss. Although he had no impression of them at that time, he realized there were several familiar faces after returning from the archaic ancient times.
“The wounds that the Heavenly Tormentors had almost recovered from were worsened due to that battle. Although they did object to the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial cooperating with the gods, I’m afraid they’re still powerless to do anything about it.”
Luo Shui sighed.
She looked at Chu Kuangren and smiled. “However, it’s really reassuring seeing that you’ve returned at a moment like this, Brother Chu.”
“I’m grateful for the trust you have in me, Sister Luo Shui.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled. Then, he disappeared into the void right after.
He came to Stronghold Thirty-One’s teleportation camp and returned to the Nine Heavens Central City. From there, he made his way back to the Firmament Star.
The moment he entered the Firmament Star, a mysterious surge of Heavenly Dao fluctuation suddenly enveloped Chu Kuangren before he could react.
The scenery around him changed.
He realized that he was now inside a white and empty space.
Following that, countless light patterns flowed in front of him and turned into a figure that radiated with golden light.
That figure had an empty face, but its body resembled a human being. It was one meter tall and radiating with golden light.
He decided to refer to the figure as the Little Golden Man for the time being.
The Little Golden Man appeared before Chu Kuangren and did not speak. If it had eyes, it would be staring at Chu Kuangren attentively right now.
That was when Chu Kuangren realized something. Without needing Lil Ai’s analysis, he knew who that Little Golden Man was.
“You’re the Firmament Star’s Heavenly Dao.”
The Little Golden Man nodded a little.
“Did you come to me because of this Heavenly Dao Source?” Chu Kuangren took out the bundle of Heavenly Dao Source he had obtained from Planet Bei.
The Little Golden Man nodded again and walked towards him excitedly.
Chu Kuangren pondered for a while before handing over that Heavenly Dao Source to it.
When the Little Golden Man took the Heavenly Dao Source, a large black mouth appeared on his empty face and took a bite at the Heavenly Dao Source. It then continued gnawing it, one bite after another.
“It seems like the Heavenly Dao grows stronger by devouring the Heavenly Dao of other planets. I can feel the Heavenly Dao energy inside me becoming more powerful too,” Chu Kuangren thought.
Did this mean that he was feeding the Heavenly Dao?
He looked at the Little Golden Man. At the same time, he subconsciously reached his hand out to caress its head for a while. It felt nice as its head was soft and warm.
The Little Golden Man did not reject his touch and continued eating the Heavenly Dao Source.
“Wait, am I stroking the Heavenly Dao?”
Chu Kuangren was amazed.
While other people stroked their pets, he had gone and did the same thing to the Heavenly Dao instead.
Wonderful.
When the Firmament Star’s Heavenly Dao had finished devouring Planet Bei’s Heavenly Dao Source, its figure dispersed into countless sparks of golden light and disappeared.
The white empty space surrounding him also disappeared following that.
Chu Kuangren returned to his actual world.
“Leaving right after you’re done eating, huh? This Heavenly Dao is quite a handful, it seems.”
Chu Kuangren grinned.
“Whatever. Let’s get down to business first.” This time, besides coming back to the Firmament Star to deal with the gods, he also had somewhere else to go to.
…
In the Deep Oceans.
It was the location of a massive trench within the ocean with nothing living there. That place was the deepest location in the Deep Oceans.
This place also had another name, the Immemorial Kunlun Pool!
It was the final battleground between the Human King and the King of Gods!
That great battle had totally destroyed the entire area and caused it to sink into the Deep Oceans. Due to the residual auras that were left behind that battle, no creatures dared to live here.
However, it was greeted by a white figure’s presence today..
