But for the Heavenly Emperor, writing was clearly not a torment.
The Heavenly Emperor can only find solace in writing.
After Bian Lang left, the Heavenly Emperor did not believe that Bian Lang could really find Xing Tian's head.
The place where the head was hidden was extremely well-hidden and heavily guarded, making it impossible for Bian Lang and his group to find it.
It can be said that among all the beings in the world, apart from the Heavenly Emperor, no one else could find Xing Tian's head.
The Heavenly Emperor was confident enough. Despite Bian Lang's smugness earlier, he estimated that it wouldn't be long before Bian Lang would slink back to him, hoping he would speak up.
He needs to think carefully about whether or not to tell Bian Lang the whereabouts of Xing Tian's head.
From being the high and mighty Heavenly Emperor to being a prisoner and a cripple, one can only imagine the immense sense of loss he must have felt.
And these things are enough to change a person, even the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor's state of mind had long since changed, and this change was terrifying. The Heavenly Emperor was very anxious about this, but he was completely unable to control himself.
...
Time passed, but there was still no news about Xing Tian's head.
Bian Lang tried to talk to the Corpse Brother several times, hoping that the Corpse Brother could help him, but the Corpse Brother never gave any response.
However, during this period, the Corpse Brother did not assign him any new corpse-driving tasks, which allowed him more time to search for Xing Tian's head.
Compared to Bian Lang's brimming confidence, Kong Xin was already in despair.
After searching in the celestial realm for so long without finding anything, anyone would lose faith and want to give up.
Seeing Bian Lang's still confident demeanor, Kong Xin found it unbelievable and asked, "Bian Lang, do you really believe we can find it?"
"How long have we been searching?" Bian Lang laughed.
Hollow calculated the timeframe and realized it would take at most six months.
The headless tribe spent several generations searching for Xing Tian's body.
Their lifespans are already very long, and the combined time of these several generations exceeds a thousand years.
Thinking about all this, Kongxin realized that she had indeed been too hasty.
The celestial realm is so vast that it takes time to explore it thoroughly.
Given time, they will surely find it.
After a busy day, Shangguan Hongyu returned to her temporary residence to find that dinner had already been prepared.
As the empress of the celestial realm, Shangguan Hongyu has many things to deal with every day.
Previously, it was the Heavenly Emperor's job, but now it has all fallen on her shoulders. Fortunately, she has the help of Liu Yi and Dugu Qiusheng, so she is not too tired.
Otherwise, her life would revert to what it was when she was still an empress in the mortal realm.
"Honey, how much longer are we going to stay?" Shangguan Hongyu had no appetite and looked rather unwell.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "It will take at least a hundred years."
"Is a hundred years really enough?" Shangguan Hongyu knew that it might take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to completely eradicate the old rules of the Heavenly Realm. Relatively speaking, a hundred years was really too short.
Bian Lang said, "I meant at least."
"At least" means it will take at least a hundred years, or it may only take a hundred years, but it could also take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. There is no definite answer.
Shangguan Hongyu sighed. She knew this was the problem; asking it would be pointless, so she might as well not ask at all to avoid getting annoyed.
Seeing that Shangguan Hongyu was really not in good spirits, Bian Lang asked with a smile, "Wife, do you want to go home?"
"I don't particularly miss you being around, but just being here makes me feel suffocated." Shangguan Hongyu couldn't quite explain the feeling either.
Reason told her that they were doing something extraordinary.
To accomplish this, everyone has to make sacrifices.
In fact, relatively speaking, the sacrifices they made were very small, even negligible.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed. During this time, Bian Lang has also received new corpse-driving missions, either driving corpses from the heavens to the mortal realm or from the mortal realm to the heavens. He travels back and forth between these two worlds.
They never gave up the search for Xing Tian's head.
The Heavenly Emperor also left the Heavenly Palace and went to live in the western part of the Heavenly Realm.
Since Bian Lang inquired about it last time, he has not sought out the Heavenly Emperor again, which surprised the Heavenly Emperor.
He thought Bian Lang wouldn't be able to hold out for long and would come begging to him again. But a hundred years have passed, and Bian Lang is still searching for Xing Tian's head by his own efforts, showing no intention of bowing down to him.
A hundred years is but a fleeting moment for immortals, but the changes in the celestial realm are astonishing.
The old system can no longer be seen in the celestial realm; it seems that all the immortals have accepted the changes led by Bian Lang and others.
Even the heavenly soldiers and generals enjoy their current status.
The Heavenly Emperor had witnessed the vitality emanating from this celestial realm when he first took control of it.
At that time, he was also very dissatisfied with the old system and carried out extensive reforms, winning the support of the immortals.
Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of years later, he had become so pedantic that he could no longer see the dissatisfaction of the immortals.
Looking at Bian Lang and the others now, the Heavenly Emperor saw nothing but his former self.
Just as the Heavenly Emperor was about to tell Bian Lang the location of Xing Tian's head, he learned that Bian Lang had already found it.
Upon learning the news, Emperor Baiyang immediately rushed over to confirm with the Heavenly Emperor.
When Emperor Baiyang revealed the exact location, even the Heavenly Emperor was stunned.
"How did he find it?" The Heavenly Emperor caught his breath, still unable to believe it.
Emperor Baiyang sighed, "Bian Lang's willpower is even stronger than we know. In the past hundred years, he has traveled to almost every inch of the Heavenly Realm. It seems only a matter of time before he finds Xing Tian's head."
