"Third Sister! Have you lost your mind?" Fan Wubing knocked on Qin San’s head.
The latter was stunned, not reacting for a mont, then shouted, "You’ve grown bold, haven’t you? How dare you bully your sister!"
Fan Wubing imdiately said, "If there were a void rift here, how could the Great Li dynasty have ever ford? The void only exists beyond the world! The Soul-Devouring Abyssal Prison exists outside the world, deep in the starry sky!"
Qin San instinctively looked up but saw nothing but a void of blackness and murmured, "Starry sky?"
This corpse of sothing unknown in the Soul-Devouring Abyssal Prison was already in the starry sky, which is why one could see a patch of stars in that Realm of Divine Soul. And the Dragon of Destiny carrying the empire’s fortunes wasn’t trying to go from Great Li to the starry sky, but to return from the starry sky to Great Li.
Fan Wubing suddenly thought of sothing else, looking at Qin San, "Third Sister, tell , was the Emperor’s path previously severed by Ye Chuxuan!"
His gaze was intensely hot, almost causing Qin San to feel a burning sensation.
This young man who was less than a twentieth of her age was exhibiting a presence that left her sowhat breathless.
She replied, "Yes. Because the Emperor’s path three hundred years ago was initiated by Li Ming. Ye Chuxuan was an emperor who engraved the word ’king’ into his bones. He was a political machine, the most adept at manipulating politics among the emperors of Great Li, and the strongest. His desire for control made him unable to accept the fact that Li Ming had begun the Emperor’s path, so at the last mont, he severed it."
After that, the imnse fortunes backfired, resulting in a great cleansing and the creation of Sickness City.
Fan Wubing took a deep breath and couldn’t help but say, "I never expected that my trial would actually be about cleaning up his ss."
"What?" Qin San asked.
Fan Wubing looked toward the end of the path at the Qi gate, his gaze steady, silently thinking, "Don’t expect to take any advantage of ."
"Third Sister, let’s go. Return to Great Li, and restore your na."
Qin San was sowhat confused, not quite understanding why Fan Wubing would say such a thing, and was passively led by him toward the Qi gate. Watching his back, she thought to herself, quite manly, he’s a good little brother.
"Third Sister, can I not call you Third Sister?"
"Then what should you call ?"
"How about Sister Ying?"
"Why change suddenly?"
"Inside the Abyssal Prison, you’re Qin San. Outside, you’re Li Ying."
"...Alright...okay."
Fan Wubing led Qin San, stepping into the Qi gate.
After a while, an eye in the void slowly opened, staring at the Qi gate for a long ti, as if contemplating sothing, before slowly closing again and disappearing.
...
Ye Chuxuan stood before a gigantic yellow bell.
The yellow bell appeared ancient and mottled, every mark slowly exuding the primal energy of the early years, resonating with the supre way of the innate heavens from ti immorial. It hung in the pitch-black space as if it could never be struck. Like a deity, it overlooked everything in Great Li, and gazed down at the emperor before it.
Ye Chuxuan caressed it, "After all these years, you still don’t acknowledge . Why?"
The yellow bell would not answer his question. It would not respond to anyone it had not recognized.
Ye Chuxuan chuckled softly, "Yet you happened to acknowledge that boy. What is it about him that you find so worthy? What quality of his attracted you?"
The yellow bell remained silent, standing still in ti.
"Sigh..." Ye Chuxuan sighed, "I still stand firm on my path. Great Li’s empire, only I can safeguard it. The people of Great Li need a powerful emperor to protect them, and I am that choice. Now, soone seeks to usurp my fruit. How can I endure this? The Crown Prince still hasn’t matured and won’t understand , willing to be used by others. How can that boy be just a boy? As an outsider, how could he do so much for Great Li without caring about gain or loss?"
He walked step by step into the darkness, "I do not mind if the Emperor’s path fails a second ti. Great Li will also tolerate the appearance of a second Sickness City. All the suffering we endure now is for a better tomorrow."
His figure vanished into the darkness.
A quarter of an hour later,
the nurous Qi Observation Envoys on the Qi Observation Platform received orders to imdiately channel great fortune and open the Emperor’s door.
According to the calculations of the Qi Observation Envoys, the best ti to open the Emperor’s door would be in early autumn. But since it was the Holy Emperor’s order, there must be a reason, for he is the great Holy Emperor.
Another quarter of an hour later,
the entire realm of Great Li was shrouded in a faint radiance, the clouds receded, the rain ceased, leaving a clear sky spanning miles. A ray of light crossed the 900,000-mile expanse of Great Li’s territory, illuminating the earth. Everyone was amazed, everyone rejoiced. This is the imperial teorology!
In the Little Li Palace,
Ye Yixian hurriedly ran outside, and upon seeing the teorology, he broke out in a sweat, trembling all over as waves of fear surged from his heart. He was shaking so much he couldn’t speak, only able to stare wide-eyed at the sky’s radiance.
Ji Wenrui stumbled and nearly fell as he rushed over, speaking in a tremulous and hoarse voice, "Your Highness, the Holy Emperor has ordered the Qi Observation Envoys to forcibly open the Emperor’s door!"
Ye Yixian only felt dizzy, swaying as if about to fall, "Why? Why would my father, the Holy Emperor, do this? He knows full well that opening the door at this ti is destined to fail, he knows it!"
A streak of light fell from the sky, and Chengming stepped out loudly, "What’s going on, what’s actually happening!"
Ye Yixian said bitterly, "Father, the Holy Emperor forcefully opened the Emperor’s gate."
