Shi Huang: "In the ancient prophecy, one person comes from the demon realm and unifies the entire immortal realm."
Chen Nan: "I have heard of this prophecy."
He did not know the source of this prophecy.
But judging from the current situation.
He was the person in the prophecy.
Shi Huang asked: "Do you know that the one who unified the immortal realm would face nine deaths and one life?"
Chen Nan shook his head.
Shi Huang murmured: "The Baili family has always been the strongest family in the immortal realm."
"Especially with Baili Aotian appearing."
"No one could compete with him."
"Even if your talent is extraordinary."
"But, facing a powerhouse like the Human Emperor, there is little hope of survival."
"After all, he is the one who can defeat the will avatar of the God Realm Heavenly King."
"This is also why I gave you the Divine Water."
"There is something you might not know."
"In the millions of years since the establishment of the immortal realm, no one has ascended to the God Realm."
Chen Nan couldn't help but ask: "Why is that?"
Shi Huang: "To ascend, one needs the right time, place, and people."
"However, even we ninth-level immortal emperors have not broken through the shackles and ascended to godhood."
"Instead, many ninth-level immortal emperors have reached their limits and died in regret."
"Left this world."
"Although there is no conclusive evidence that all of this is the work of the Baili family."
"But."
"Two seniors from the Baili family have ascended to godhood."
Chen Nan frowned: "You mean the Baili family is preventing the experts of the immortal realm from ascending?"
Shi Huang did not answer.
This matter was too fantastical.
Even he dared not believe it.
If it were as he guessed.
How powerful would the Baili family be?
Chen Nan looked to the distant north: "The battle between me and the Human Emperor will begin soon."
"Even if the Human Emperor has many tricks."
"I will go all out."
"To try and kill him!"
A glimmer of longing flashed in Shi Huang's eyes: "I look forward to that day."
He paused.
He said: "I heard that for the past three years."
"The Empress has been waiting for your return by the teleportation array."
"Since you are back, go back soon and reunite with your wife and daughter!"
He winked at Lin Chu.
"Master Chen, the teleportation array is ready for you, this way please." Lin Chu made an inviting gesture and led Chen Nan and Bai Jie to the teleportation array.
Afterward.
Chen Nan and Bai Jie took the teleportation array towards the Snow Country.
The voice of the Azure Dragon echoed in Chen Nan's mind: "Things are a bit tricky."
"After all, the human race's sacred medicine is in the Human Emperor's hands."
"If you fight him now, you won't be able to concentrate."
"Moreover, the Human Emperor is extremely despicable."
"If he uses the sacred medicine to threaten you, what will you do?"
Chen Nan was speechless.
The sacred medicine was related to his daughter's life.
If it were as the Azure Dragon said.
He wouldn't mind trading his life for hers.
As long as his daughter could be saved, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life.
It's just...
It would be so unwilling!
"We will pass through the Central Continent."
"Having lived in your body for so long, I should do something for you too."
"Let me help you."
Chen Nan's expression changed: "What do you mean? You want to snatch the sacred medicine?"
"No, no."
Chen Nan's face turned sallow: "You know the Human Emperor's strength. He could kill the will avatar of Duoluo Zha, which shows how terrifying his power is."
"You are only a soul now, how can you be his opponent?"
The Azure Dragon chuckled: "Duoluo Zha?"
"Heh!"
"He's nothing."
"Don't use him to measure my strength."
"Even if he is a Heavenly King of the God Realm, he would have to call me ancestor when he sees me."
Chen Nan: "No, I can't just watch you..."
"Stop being indecisive." The Azure Dragon's voice suddenly deepened: "The Heavenly Court has shattered, the laws are broken, and billions of sentient beings are living worse than death."
"You have obtained the Pillar of Merit and are responsible for rebuilding the Heavenly Court."
"I am the Four Divine Beasts."
"My duty is to guard the Heavenly Court."
"Although the Heavenly Court is gone, you are still here."
"Therefore."
"Protecting you has become my mission."
"Perhaps I will die."
"But as long as you can rebuild the Heavenly Court, you can revive me."
Chen Nan suddenly felt a heavy weight in his heart.
He didn't want to see his family and friends leave him.
But he couldn't change the Azure Dragon's decision.
"Work hard!"
"As long as you are alive, don't lose your fighting spirit."
The Azure Dragon's voice slowly faded in Chen Nan's mind.
He also clearly felt.
The Azure Dragon had left his body.
Chen Nan suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
The Azure Dragon had accompanied him through the immortal realm.
From the demon realm to the human realm.
Then the demonic realm.
Although they shared the same body.
But in Chen Nan's heart, they had long become friends who could talk about anything.
Even though he had expected that the Azure Dragon would one day leave his body.
He never expected.
That it would be to go and find the sacred medicine for him.
And this time, leaving.
He didn't know if the Azure Dragon would return safely.
------
Central Continent.
Human Emperor's Palace.
A man in a white robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.
His beard and hair were all white.
He exuded an air of scholarly grace.
The old man was meditating with his eyes closed.
His entire being emanated an imperial aura.
Faintly visible, the illusory figures of nine golden dragons flickered around him.
He was the supreme being of the human race.
The strongest expert in the immortal realm.
Baili Aotian.
He got up and walked outside.
Looking at the star-studded night sky.
"Why do I feel that a powerful being has descended?"
"Is it my illusion?"
The Human Emperor frowned.
With a casual wave of his hand.
A giant chessboard phantom appeared in the void.
However.
There were no chess pieces on the chessboard.
But if someone were behind him, they would surely be shocked to discover.
The vastness of the stars was the chess pieces of this board.
He used the sky full of stars as his chessboard.
And all living beings as his pieces.
Such a method was unprecedented.
"Father, why are you so dejected?"
Accompanying a pleasant voice.
A stunning woman in a pure white long dress appeared beside the Human Emperor.
Her name was Baili Yunxi.
The Human Emperor's only daughter.
Of course.
She had another identity.
Nangong Wan.
However.
Nangong Wan's soul had always been suppressed by her in the depths of her Sea of Consciousness.
The Human Emperor: "I don't know why, but I can't understand this chessboard anymore."
"Since the Yan Kingdom, this chessboard has been out of my control."
He controlled the myriad of sentient beings.
Enjoyed the thrill of controlling others' lives.
But now.
This chessboard made him feel powerless.
Baili Yunxi said: "There is a treasure called the Heavenly Secret Umbrella in the True Dragon Treasure Vault of the Yan Kingdom. If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Nan should have obtained the Heavenly Secret Umbrella."
The Human Emperor nodded involuntarily, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes: "This child's talent is far more astonishing than I imagined."
Baili Yunxi showed disdain: "Even if this child's talent is exceptional, Nangong Wan is still in our hands, so I doubt he can cause much trouble."
Roar!
Without any warning.
A dragon's roar echoed through the night sky.
A terrifying dragon might instantly swept across heaven and earth!
