Chapter 3262: Dun Jia Universe
In the vast starry sky, Ye Chen walked leisurely.
After ten thousand years, he once again set foot on the Taigu Road, arriving in the Taigu Honghuang.
In the past, this place was a strategic military stronghold.
Most of the Zhutian forces were gathered here, sealing a generation of Sheng Mo and restraining Shang Cang. Under the great cycle of the Tian Dao, the Taigu Honghuang was performing once more, whether it was relics of an era or problems arising from the cycle of reincarnation.
Some things were beyond his control.
Now, the Taigu Honghuang was desolate and eerily quiet.
Yet, there were still people here.
It was a graceful figure standing under the moon, like a distant dream.
That was Zizai Tian.
Ye Chen ascended to the mountaintop. "Senior, you have quite the leisure."
"Ziye Chen, who exactly are you?"
Zizai Tian parted her lips lightly, unsure if she was asking Ye Chen or speaking to herself.
"Why do you ask that?"
"On Wu Zixing's body, I once saw the silhouettes of you and Zhao Yun."
"I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else."
Ye Chen smiled. He was Ye Chen, and even if the world aged and the heavens crumbled, that fact wouldn't change. As for the child, he had his suspicions but still didn't dare confirm them. If his guess was right, it would completely upend the rules.
Zizai Tian fell silent and didn't press further.
"When I was searching for the child, I saw your universe," Ye Chen finally revealed the secret. "For some reason, it had been shifted to the depths of the void, but the common people there were still safe."
"Shifted?"
Zizai Tian murmured, surprised yet not entirely unexpected.
"Don't go out anymore; in the future, this junior will find it for you."
Ye Chen stepped down from the mountaintop, walking step by step into the void, heading toward the unknown place where the child had once been. It didn't belong to the Zhutian universes, or rather, the unknown domain was itself a universe, though it had been utterly devoured by the child, leaving it blank.
Returning to the unknown, the child was no longer there.
But that didn't matter.
What mattered was that if the child could do it, he could manage it, albeit with great effort.
For example, empowering the Dun Jia Tian Zi.
Only after empowering could the Dun Jia Tian Zi reveal the universes within them, all refined from the Tian Zi. They could also restore the Tian Zi back into universes—even if just empty shells—which would still be useful for the Zhutian universes, as they could be used to patch the cracks.
The Tian Zi glowed brilliantly, suspended one by one.
Once empowered, the universes inside became clearly visible.
After empowering all the Tian Zi, he shattered the unknown domain and collected the fragments, refining them piece by piece into the Zhutian universes. With each fragment integrated, the spiritual energy of this universe grew denser, though the increase was minimal.
Then came the Dun Jia Tian Zi.
Including the "Dao" character he had fused with, he sacrificed them all. Each one transformed into individual universes, some vast like the starry sky, others small like a single star, all with irregular shapes.
This was normal, as the Zhutian were also irregular.
As he expected, the universes restored from the Tian Zi were all empty shells, devoid of life, with few landscapes, and any that existed were from extinct civilizations.
"What a grand divine ability of the Tian Dao!"
Shen Zun sighed, recalling the time when he and the female emperor were acting as Huang Di, they had considered using the Tian Zi to repair the universe, but their cultivation was insufficient—they couldn't even empower them, let alone fix the damage.
At his side, Qi Huan was also there, her abdomen already swollen.
Clearly, she was pregnant, and in a few months, the little baby would be born.
"Don't lie to you, I was thinking of finding a place to drink and enjoy the flowers."
Shen Zun spoke gravely, his tone full of earnestness.
"Go ahead! Bring a few back with you."
Qi Huan smiled cheerfully, but her smile sent a chill down Shen Zun's spine. This woman could be fiercer than his sister when riled up. After thinking it over, he decided it was safer to stay home and keep his wife company.
Boom! Bang! Boom!
While they bantered, Ye Chen had already begun repairing the cracks. He refined the empty shells of those universes with eternity, turning them into patches that covered the fissures one by one. The Zhutian universe had been severely damaged back then, nearly collapsing, and was full of holes.
This was a grueling task.
There was no choice—who else could do it, since he was the Tian Dao?
Fortunately, there were plenty of Dun Jia Tian Zi, transforming into enough universes. Based on the quantity, it should barely restore the Zhutian to wholeness. If it wasn't enough, he'd have to search elsewhere and gather more.
Boom! Rumbling!
Ye Chen's actions caused quite a stir, making the starry sky lively.
With each crack sealed, the universe grew more complete, its spiritual energy denser, and the invisible suppression weaker. Breakthroughs happened everywhere, with all sorts of emperor tribulations unfolding one after another.
Worldwide sacrifices, Tian Dao's great cycle, worldwide downgrades.
Now, it was a worldwide breakthrough, and they were all drawing heavenly tribulations. Across several eras, such a spectacular scene was unprecedented.
"My emperor position is back!"
"You're just a minor great emperor—what's there to brag about? I'm already a Tian Di."
"Step aside—you're nothing; I'm already at Zhun Huang level."
Amid the rumbling, there were shouts from everywhere, across every stretch of starry sky.
Regrettably, no Huang Di emerged.
Or rather, Ye Chen was suppressing it. After all, he was repairing the universe—who needed a Huang Di tribulation causing chaos? That would be a distraction.
It took a full month for the starry sky to calm down.
But the precise work of repairing the universe still fell to Ye Chen.
To the world, it was just a month.
To him, it had been thousands or even tens of thousands of years, as he had altered the flow of time with eternity. Otherwise, patching all those cracks would take forever—why waste time when he could be spending it with his wife? Once done, he'd take another month.
On the third day, the Tian Zi were used up.
On the fourth day, Ye Chen used eternity to turn decay into magic, enveloping the entire universe and refining for ten thousand years. This ten thousand years was relative to him, unrelated to the world. It was during this month that the damaged universe was finally made whole, though it would still need endless time to fully integrate, as they were merely patches.
"Now, accommodating five Huang Di should be no problem."
The emperors gathered, stroking their beards. All those at Zhun Huang peak or Zhun Huang perfection had the qualifications to vie for the Huang Di position—it was all about personal fate.
Of course, Shen Zun and the female emperor were definite candidates.
Just wait—once Ye Chen lifted the Tian Dao suppression, even if they didn't want to become Huang Di, they'd be pushed into it. The worldwide downgrade was passive, and with Ye Chen's revival and the repair of the Zhutian universe, their ranks would automatically rise back, provided the Tian Dao wasn't suppressing them anymore.
So, in the end, there were only three Huang Di positions left for the world.
"Don't anyone move—I want one."
The legendary Two Emperors made their bold claim.
Everyone dismissed it as nonsense.
You, a mere great emperor, wouldn't even be in the running. Among all the emperors in the Zhutian, you have the lowest rank, yet you're the loudest.
"If I become a Huang Di, can I marry another wife?"
Di Zun chuckled, lying on Meng Mo's abdomen, listening to the fetal movements.
"Go ahead and marry!"
Meng Mo was as open-minded as Qi Huan.
Marry as you like.
But be careful at night—you might end up... well, you know.
Boom! Rumbling!
The vast expanse echoed with thunder as Ye Chen, having fixed the universe, didn't stop there. He actually divided the Zhutian into three: the upper as Tian Jie, the lower as Di Fu, and the middle as the human world. Using this as the foundation, he created a great cycle of reincarnation. However, his division of the Zhutian was different from the female emperor's—it appeared as three realms but was truly one entity.
"Good people go to heaven, bad people go to hell!"
"From now on, stop doing wicked deeds and just be honest."
"Is this another form of eternity?"
Zizai Tian murmured softly. With reincarnation established, there would be rebirth and transmigration, just in a different way. As long as the cycle didn't collapse, one could exist eternally. Their universe had once considered this, but the Tian Dao didn't align, so it was shelved for endless ages.
The same went for this universe—it could extend indefinitely, with incense offerings never ceasing.
