600 The Seven Moons
"So, that's what happened?" said Xu Junyao, her beautiful voice coming from the other side of the formation. She was not surprised by Zhang Yucheng's fate, as many people predicted this possible outcome.
"Master, I'm sorry."
"You don't have to blame yourself. Return home immediately, and I'll deal with the rulers."
"What about the inheritance."
"Forget about it for now."
"Maybe, I can take it from the final winner. If you give me a second chance, I'm willing to try harder."
"You don't have much time. The isolation of the lower dimension is almost done."
"What does that mean?"
"It means the rulers will be cut off from interfering. To be precise, no one can interfere. Well, maybe not everyone." Xu Junyao was not sure where the two suns could intervene.
"On top of everything else, some changes have begun here. It is unclear whether it is positive or negative, but we must deal with it."
"I see,' muttered Xiao Tiandi.
Xu Junyao ended the communication while pondering that this event might be a suitable catalyst for change; she did not want her disciple to remain in such a depressed state. Hopefully, this Wang Wei's words have positively influenced him.
Meanwhile, Xiao Tiandi hesitated for a moment before taking out a token. He looked in the direction of Wang Wei's mansion, his eyes full of confusion. With a sigh, he activated it and disappeared from the lower dimension. And two people did the same as him.
Eternal Ascension World:
Ao Jing observed his son, Ao Tianyi. He could see how much of terrible shape he was.
'I thought that brat said he would not go too far,' he thought before shaking his head. He raised his hand to instantly create a world as large as the entire lower dimension, as large as the 3000 World Communities that contained trillions of worlds between Lower to Heaven Will Worlds.
Ao Jing created the individuals, the history, culture, different races, and power levels; he made everything needed for a complete world to function.
He then glanced at his son before snapping his finger, forcing him to reincarnate in that world.
"I have created infinite scenarios for you to temper your mind. Hopefully, you can stand after breaking."
Ao Jing designed this world to start over once Ao Jing reached a certain level, allowing him to experience different aspects of life. Regrettably, Heavenly Dao does not allow the Nine Extremity Foundation that is cultivated in such a manner. Otherwise, this level of foundation would be more common. After settling his son, Ao Jing went to report to the Patriarch.
In another section of the upper dimension:
Shi Ruolan appeared in an enormous and opulent palace decorated with gold, purple, and priceless jewels. And the moment she appeared, a man dressed in court eunuch uniforms teleported before her, kneeling on one knew.
"Your highness."
"This is the information my father wants," she said calmly, her previous cheerful and approachable demeanor replaced by a cold and authoritarian presence.
"The inheritance?"
"The mission failed," replied Shi Ruolan before walking away, ignoring the eunuch. She walked to a room with a golden throne and sat on it, a deep pondering look on her face.
A secret that few people knows is she is the secret child of one of the rulers, the Earth Emperor. Her relationship with her father was great–despite not being publicly acknowledged– as he always supported and cared for her, and she idolized him.
However, Shi Ruolan has always felt that some things were wrong but was always scared to address them. For example, why did she never attempt the Nine Extremity Foundation?
She once asked her father for permission, and he refused, explaining that it was dangerous and had a high failure rate. Danger was never a good excuse for cultivators not to do something. As for the failure, she could still benefit even if she failed.
Another odd behavior was when she began cultivating an Outlaw Dao. Her father warned her of the danger, to the point of scaring her to change her Dao.
A third anomaly was the oldest of her siblings, the Great Chu Divine Court princes. She knew a few of them were Empyreans, but not one became Paragons. And the current Crown Prince has been in this realm for far too long.
'Then there is brother Liu. He was the only one who became an Everlasting Empyrean, but he suddenly died.'
If it were before, Shi Ruolan would never care about these anomalies. But after witnessing Xiao Tiandi's inner turmoil and Wang Wei's rebuttal, she had no choice but to confront these burning thoughts she had forced in the back of her mind.
Unfortunately, she did not like the conclusions she made.
'What do I do?"
Great Chu Divine Court, in a palace thousands of times even more magnificent than Shi Ruolan, on a throne room:
A young man with long black hair and a long goatee sat on a throne, wearing a yellow Emperor outfit with dragon designs. The Earth Emperor calmly read the information his daughter sent.
Without much change in his expression, he put away the talisman, entering a pondering state.
'With the upcoming era, the Karma Position of Heavenly Emperor might finally appear. I can finally put my plan into motion.'
Earth Emperor originally planned for one of his 33,000 children to inherit that position. He had even more confidence in Shi Ruolan, but after the recent changes, he theorized the position would appear in the lower dimension.
Suddenly, he sensed something. 'Is there a meeting?' The Earth Emperor thought before closing his eyes, sending his mind into a dimension with eight seats.
Many people believe that 7 mons reign over the world, but only they know there is an 8th and hidden moon.
"Did everyone get the information?" asked Seven Cauldron Taoist, a middle-aged woman dressed in a Taoist robe with pill symbols.
"I haven't received it," replied Five Feather Phoenix, the matriarch of the Phoenix race. So, someone else distributed the information from Xiao Tiandi and Shi Ruolan.
All seven reviewed the information with a calm attitude.
"Undead Phoenix, what about your side?" Everyone looked at a young man with a pale complexion, dead eyes, and a black phoenix mark on his forehead.
"I've got more information. I've reduced the leader of the new era to three people."
