What's to the east? To the east was originally the Azure Heaven Realm where the Azure Emperor resided.
The original Azure Heaven Realm was the most vibrant world among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but now it is not even as good as the desolate Nether Heaven Realm and the scorched Earth of the Flame Heaven Realm.
The reason for this is that the foundation of the Azure Heaven Realm was broken, causing the Azure Heaven Realm to collapse.
The foundation of the Azure Heaven Realm was broken because of the fall of the Azure Emperor of the Upper Realm.
The Azure Heaven Realm is the most unique of the Nine Heavens because it needs to rely on its Realm Lord, the Azure Emperor, for existence.
The fall of a realm lord will cause the realm foundation, which shares the same origin as him, to collapse.
The Heavenly Emperor was a close friend of the previous Azure Emperor and was very familiar with the aura of the Azure Heaven Realm's foundation.
So the moment Zhiyuan appeared, a sense of familiarity arose within him.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and without thinking, he immediately got up, transformed into a stream of light, and chased after Zhiyuan.
"Heavenly Emperor..." Lin Daocheng watched the Heavenly Emperor fly away, and without thinking much, he immediately followed on a cloud.
"Your Majesty, wait for us."
The celestial officials and guards who had been standing on either side of the main hall, waiting for the Heavenly Emperor's instructions, became anxious when they saw that the Heavenly Emperor had left without giving any orders. They hurriedly followed after him.
Seeing that everyone had left in no time, Lin Qianqian turned to face her husband in bewilderment.
He blinked and asked, "What do we do?"
Yunze took her hand. "Follow him and see what's going on with Zhiyuan." He then took a step and headed in the direction Zhiyuan had flown.
Yunze held Lin Qianqian's hand and traversed thousands of miles in an instant.
Surpassing the Heavenly Emperor and celestial officials and guards, it appeared behind the flying abyss.
"Zhiyuan, where are you going?" Lin Qianqian asked the "little sapling" or "little tree lamp" that was right next to her.
But Zhiyuan, who was usually obedient and clingy to her, seemed to have completely ignored her words this time, only caring about flying forward.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian stopped calling out to it. She simply let Yunze pull her along, leading her step by step, always following behind Zhiyuan.
Zhiyuan flew very fast, transforming into a streak of light and flying eastward at the speed of light, much faster than the Heavenly Emperor's cloud-riding.
But no matter how fast it is, it can't outrun Yunze's spatial traversal.
...
After flying for an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the boundary of the Central Heaven.
But Yuan didn't stop. He burst through the boundary wall and continued flying at the speed of light towards the world outside the boundary.
Yunze, carrying Lin Qianqian, did not stop. They crossed the boundary wall, chasing after Zhiyuan, and arrived at another horizon.
After a long time, Zhiyuan finally stopped.
Less than a breath later, Yunze appeared behind Zhiyuan, pulling Lin Qianqian along.
After Zhiyuan stopped, it stretched out its branches in mid-air, it seemed...
It seems to be searching for something...
At this moment, Lin Qianqian was also looking up and observing her surroundings, wondering where they had arrived.
All around was a desolate, gray landscape, with no other colors besides gray and off-white.
Moreover, that desolation gives people a strange and uncomfortable feeling. It's not because of some reason or lack of conditions that the environment and climate are bad, or it's desolation caused by human intervention.
But what's missing here is the most essential thing.
Without this essential quality, no life can survive here.
Even powerful beings, lacking this essential quality, will gradually wither away and be unable to survive here.
Qi Yuan paused in the air for a while, then chose a spot and plunged towards it.
Lin Qianqian was so quick that she didn't even have time to say anything.
The place that Zhiyuan chose was a gray mountain, which was not high, only a little over a hundred meters high.
When the abyss fell, there was no sound at all, just like dust falling into a basin of water.
Yet it is also so eye-catching, because it is the only touch of green in this gray and grayish-white world.
When Zhiyuan landed, the first thing that came into contact with the mountain was the "flowerpot" formed by the Primordial Source at the bottom of Zhiyuan.
Upon contact with the gray mountain, the primordial essence immediately dissolved, transforming into a liquid covering several square meters, revealing roots as white as abyss jade.
Then Zhiyuan waved those few branches at Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian had a sudden inspiration. She took out the clump of Breath Soil from the Cloud Void Realm, separated a large portion, and threw it towards Zhiyuan, where it landed beside it.
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor also arrived. After descending from the clouds, he looked around and immediately spotted Zhiyuan not far away.
At this moment, Zhiyuan had already twisted his little roots and crawled onto the Breath Soil. He then planted his little roots into the Breath Soil.
The primordial source that had originally dissolved split in two, with one half surging upwards towards the Breath Soil, enveloping that mass of Breath Soil.
The other half descended and slowly seeped into the gray-white mountain below.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian didn't understand what was going on, but she still asked with concern, "Zhiyuan, is there enough Breath Soil? If not, you can have these too."
As he spoke, he waved the remaining half of the Breath Soil in his hand.
Zhiyuan waved the branch, indicating that that was enough.
The Heavenly Emperor watched all this silently from the sidelines, without uttering a sound, but a glint of light appeared in his eyes.
...
When the primordial source separated and completely seeped into the upper and lower realms, the earth began to tremble.
At the same time, Zhiyuan's small figure also began to swell.
Its roots, trunk, branches, and leaves began to expand a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
It keeps expanding, keeps expanding.
Time flies, and countless years have passed, yet it seems like only a moment has gone by.
Time here seems immeasurable; space, time, life, yin and yang, metal, wood, water, fire, earth...
At this moment, various laws intertwine and are redefined.
This tree is not only composed of matter, but also permeated with various laws.
The trees reach straight up to the sky, soaring into the clouds, and then plunge down into the earth, penetrating deep into the ground.
At the same time, the gray and off-white of this world are fading, and other colors are gradually appearing.
The essence of this space is returning...
Or rather, it is being regenerated...
Lin Qianqian only realized that they were standing on a tree when she released her divine sense.
All around the tree was a void where gray matter churned.
The trunk of this tree is of unknown diameter, because even the branches that branch out are tens of millions of miles in diameter.
The tree has many branches, but each branch has only two or three leaves at its tip.
Each leaf is enormous, with varying shapes, ranging in size from hundreds to thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers.
At that moment, they were standing on one of the branches, close to the trunk.
Lin Qianqian scanned the tree trunk beside her and the branches under her feet with her divine sense.
They discovered that their surfaces were covered with soil resembling life-giving soil, beneath which lay a jade-like layer of tree bark, and further down, inside, flowed green liquid with golden threads.
The tree's composition is strange, but it is alive; it is her only source!
"The Celestial Realm is alive again!" It was the Heavenly Emperor who spoke.
Suddenly, he walked over and gently stroked the tree trunk, muttering to himself.
After a long while, he probably sensed the gazes of Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze on him.
Or perhaps they sensed the arrival of Lin Daocheng and several celestial officials and guards.
The Heavenly Emperor finally snapped out of his reverie and turned to Lin Qianqian, saying, "Lin Qianqian, cultivator from Blue Star, welcome to the Nine Heavens Realm. Thank you for bringing a new foundation to the Azure Heaven Realm. From this moment on, you are the new ruler of the Azure Heaven Realm in the Nine Heavens, the new Azure Emperor."
"Huh???" Lin Qianqian was filled with confusion. She had become one of the rulers of the Nine Heavens?
Isn't this too hasty?
Before Lin Qianqian could say anything, the Heavenly Emperor turned to Yun Ze and said, "You are also welcome, the ruler of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Spacetime!"
