The Heavenly Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the world below, as if this was the only pose he knew.
After a moment, a figure wearing a golden cloud-patterned robe and with disheveled hair suddenly appeared beside the Heavenly Emperor. His aura was no weaker than that of the Heavenly Emperor, and his face was also obscured.
Throughout the entire cycle of reincarnation, there is only one person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Emperor and whose aura is no weaker than the Heavenly Emperor's: the Eastern Emperor, the Lord of the Divine Court!
"Xuanming is one of the oldest reincarnators, and it was not easy for him to reach the peak of the Yin-Yang Realm."
Now that he's dead, don't you feel any pain?
The Eastern Emperor's voice was majestic and deep: "Feel sorry? A person who has developed ambitions is dead, so what is there to feel sorry about?"
Mu Jiu's ability to fight his way to the Yin-Yang Realm is both his skill and his good fortune.
But what he shouldn't have forgotten was who gave him these powers and what he intended to do with them!
The fusion of the virtual worlds is imminent. For those lower-level reincarnators, the only reason they are competing with each other is because they will no longer need reincarnation missions.
They have no idea what we will face after the virtual world merges.
But Mu Jiu knew!
He knew all this but still harbored selfish motives, wanting to break away from us after merging with the Void Realm, only wanting to protect himself, and even resorting to those underhanded tricks in secret. He disappointed me so much, he is not worthy of having the divine office of Xuanming!
Mu Jiu never understood one thing: the most important thing within the cycle of reincarnation was never themselves, but their divine duties!
The Heavenly Emperor chuckled: "Eastern Emperor, you're too extreme, just like your former master."
While the priesthood is important, the reincarnators are just as important.
A useless person cannot bear the responsibility of a high-ranking divine office; some divine offices even require the approval of their master.
For example, your Divine Court's Yi the Archer, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, and my Heavenly Palace's King of Eyes, and the Pure Source Dao Mysterious True Lord.
However, you are right about one thing: Mu Jiu forgot his roots and indeed deserved to die.
Over the years, the management of the Divine Court has been too lenient, bringing in all sorts of people, prioritizing quantity over quality.
While it's true that your Divine Court has many reincarnators, the number that are truly respectable is not that many.
Donghuang snorted, "Isn't your Heavenly Palace the same? I haven't seen you care much about those reincarnators."
The Heavenly Emperor said calmly, "I only need to take care of those Realm Lords. Why should I care about the rest?"
Donghuang sighed softly. Mu Jiu's situation proved that he had indeed made a mistake. He couldn't even manage the realm lords of the Yin-Yang Realm, let alone the other reincarnators.
"Fortunately, there are still some people in your Divine Court who can reach the pinnacle, such as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."
He's capable and decisive; I admire him.
"The divine office of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden could actually belong to my Heavenly Palace, but your Divine Court beat me to it."
Donghuang snorted and said, "The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was a coincidence, not someone I deliberately cultivated."
That being said, neither of us seems to be as capable as that charlatan in holding Mount Ling firmly in his grasp.
"After the illusory realms merge in the future, Mount Ling will actually be the most cohesive among us."
The Heavenly Emperor scoffed: "But what kind of people are on Mount Ling? How many of them are presentable?"
That charlatan acted in a petty and petty way, completely unlike his master.
"With a master whose name resounds throughout the three realms, how could he have such a personality?"
Donghuang sneered, "Perhaps he's been absorbing too much of the incense offerings from the Buddhist sect, and it's made his brain less sharp."
The Divine Court and the Heavenly Palace compete with each other but also cooperate, making them both like friends and enemies.
However, both of them seemed to feel disgust and displeasure towards Lingshan.
Donghuang sighed again: "Time seems to be running out. Some of the lower-level small worlds have begun to condense and combine. The fusion of the four great void realms is coming soon."
The Heavenly Emperor said in a deep voice, "Let it come. This day was bound to come. Before it comes, I will try my best to send people to collect all the inheritances that need to be collected, and also to train them."
"Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun Yang Cheng? You think highly of him?"
The Heavenly Emperor said calmly, "It's not that I think highly of him, it's that Yang Jian thinks highly of him. He has already gained Yang Jian's approval, which is more authoritative than anyone else's affirmation."
Of course, I will only give him a chance; whether he seizes it is up to him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Emperor took a step forward and his figure vanished instantly.
Donghuang glanced at the ruined Nine Netherworld and also vanished in an instant.
