“My Blood Origin Star! How did it end up like this?!”
“What about the Blood Kings? Where are they!”
The Blood God’s expression turned terribly grim.
His swelling rage caused him to lose control of the energy fluctuations emanating from his body. His aura became so powerful that even Zi Wuhen could feel a sudden tightness in his chest.
The whole Blood Origin Star trembled too.
“What the hell happened?”
The Blood God looked at Zi Wuhan and asked.
There was strong killing intent in his eyes.
Anyone would surely be in a bad mood if they woke up and realized their home was messed up.
“I have nothing to do with whatever happened on Blood Origin Star. I’m one of the Ten Seats from Planet Zi, Zi Wuhen” Zi Wuhen immediately stated his identity to prevent the Blood God from doing anything rash.
Sure enough, the Blood God calmed down a little upon learning Zi Wuhen’s identity. “So you’re an Immortal Progeny from Planet Zi.”
“Yes, I am.” Zi Wuhen nodded gently. Then, he told the Blood God everything that happened on the Blood Origin Star.
After hearing that, the Blood God had an ice-cold expression on his face “It’s the Firmament Star, right? I’ll certainly make them pay for this.”
“I shall patiently await your success then.”
Zi Wuhen chuckled.
…
In the Firmament Star.
The task of building an empire was almost complete.
As of now, the various forces of the human race have declared their allegiance. The only thing left was a coronation ceremony.
Regarding this matter, Elder Ruyan had also made the appropriate arrangements.
“Come, Sect Leader. You need to try this on,” said Elder Ruyan while holding a gorgeous long robe.
The corner of Chu Kuangren’s mouth twitched. He looked beside her and saw a pile of clothes of various styles.
There were formal ones, elegant ones, gorgeous ones, lavish ones… The variety of styles was simply astounding.
Some were gold, some were purple, while some were white… That pile of clothes had all sorts of colors.
“Elder Ruyan, is there a need to complicate things? I think the few choices over there are enough. Let’s just pick one from these.”
“No can do!”
Elder Ruyan immediately rejected. “This is a coronation ceremony. When that time comes, you’ll be known as the king of all humans, the ruler of a great empire! This ceremony is much grander and lavish than the inauguration ceremony back then. How can you dress so casually for something as important as this? Come. Put this on.”
Chu Kuangren was speechless. He had no choice but to continue trying on different robes.
With a thought from his mind, he activated his Spatial Conveyor Skill and transported the long robes that Elder Ruyan held onto his body.
It was a white-colored long robe inlaid with golden edges, as well as patterns of dragons and phoenixes. It appeared extremely majestic and aristocratic. Coupled with Chu Kuangren’s otherworldly temperament, it was as if a supreme Immortal emperor had descended upon everyone from the skies.
Elder Ruyan was a little enchanted just from looking at him.
However, she soon recovered to her senses and looked at that long, white robe. “With how handsome you are, Sect Leader, I’m afraid anything you wear will look good on you. It looks like finding the right clothing will not be an easy task. Alright, try changing into this.”
“Another one?”
“Yes.”
The corner of Chu Kuangren’s mouth twitched again. “Say, Elder Ruyan, you aren’t doing this for the sole purpose of seeing me dressed in different clothes, right?”
Elder Ruyan’s face turned red. “Of course not.”
“Same goes to you guys as well, I suppose?” Chu Kuangren looked at Lan Yu, Shang Qingxue, Jun Yi, and the others watching from the side.
They quickly looked around obliviously, pretending not to have heard a thing.
However, the Vision Recording Rock that Shang Qingxue was holding at that time flashed as it automatically took an image of Chu Kuangren and saved it.
Chu Kuangren was utterly speechless.
He continued trying on a few more clothing before settling on one eventually.
After he left, Elder Ruyan, Jun Yi, Jin Feiyan, and even Lan Yu could not help but huddle up around Shang Qingxue excitedly.
“How many pictures did you manage to take?”
“Remember to send me a copy when we get back.”
“Oh, wow. This looks good. It’s beautiful.”
“And this one, too. Nice photography work, Qingxue.”
The female cultivators looked at Shang Qingxue’s Vision Recording Rock joyfully.
Not long after, several precious images of the Human King started circulating from the Black Heaven Sect. With that, their values were secretly increased to an incredibly high price.
…
Inside the Towering Heaven Palace.
Chu Kuangren was sitting with his legs crossed while holding a silver-white disk in his hand. Several rings of circles were interlocking on that disk in a very mysterious manner.
It was the Timespace Treasure.
He was studying the mystery contained within the Timespace Treasure.
Currently, he has fully understood the first four rings of circles on the Timespace Treasure and, in turn, gained quite some progress on his Spacetime Dao.
Besides this, he could now use a small part of that Timespace Treasure’s abilities.
It was an incredibly powerful item. Even with Chu Kuangren’s current cultivation level, it was still extremely challenging to activate it.
That was one of his trump cards, after all.
Except for using it to break apart the Venerable Spacetime God’s Spacetime Cage back in the archaic ancient times, Chu Kuangren had never since used that item.
“I’m certain that this item is more powerful than some Immortal Weapons.”
Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Although he had not come across any Immortal Weapons before, he did learn about how powerful those weapons were from his encounter with the Ancient Immortal.
He had also done some comparisons in secret.
Taking into account the items he gained from the Fantasy Roulette, God-tiered items were already at the Immortal Realm. Meanwhile, the Timespace Treasure was a Transcendent-tier item.
Could it be an item beyond the power of an Immortal?!
Chu Kuangren did not dare to think any further about that.
He would find that answer one day.
“Now, let’s get this empire up and running first.”
Chu Kuangren thought to himself. However, when he looked at the gorgeous white long robe hanging next to him, he shook his head with a smile.
The coronation ceremony was held as scheduled.
Somehow, the Black Heaven Sect was no longer the sage orthodoxy from before. High walls had been erected around its borders, with tall buildings within its domain.
The area within a radius of five hundred kilometers of the Black Heaven Sect had turned into a magnificent city, which was now the capital of the whole empire.
It was known as Black Heaven City!
Within Black Heaven City, countless chariots and horse-pulled carts were traveling everywhere. Many cultivators had come here from all corners of the world, and some uncommon wild beasts even started popping up in the city as the days went by.
Besides the humans, various yokai from all walks of life around the Firmament Star had also arrived to witness the ceremony. After all, Chu Kuangren was no longer just the Human King but the unparalleled ruler of the entire Firmament Star, the strongest being in the planet’s history!
A tall stage had been set up at the center of the Black Heaven City.
Various sceneries and prosperous strange beasts were engraved on all four sides of that stage.
That was the Heavenly Ascension Stage.
The Chaos Daoist Celestial, Daoist Celestial Luo Shui, Transcendental Daoist Celestial, Daoist Celestial Yan Wu, and others glowed with happiness as they stood in front of the stage.
Besides those Daoist Celestials, there were also a lot of Emperors and millions of troops lined up in formation. All of them looked incredibly imposing.
“Let the ceremony begin!”
Elder Ruyan shouted.
At that moment, the soldiers surrounding them sounded their horns.
Grandiose sounds reverberated through the skies.
Following that, a beautiful Godly Phoenix flew in from afar, dying the sky red wherever it passed.
A handsome figure in white robes was standing on top of the Godly Phoenix with both hands behind his back. It looked as if an Immortal emperor had descended upon the world.
Everyone looked at that figure with admiration and hope in their eyes.
Chu Kuangren had arrived at the Heavenly Ascension Stage by riding a phoenix!
He then took out the Human King Seal.
Bright golden light flooded the surroundings when the Human King Seal was revealed, and the clouds in the skies started rolling too.
That was the supreme treasure of the human race!
After that, Chu Kuangren took out a script with tons of words written on it. It was a proclamation speech that Elder Ruyan had written for the coronation ceremony.
“With the skies above and the soil below… It has been forty-nine eras since Firmament Star’s birth of the human race. Countless Saints have emerged among us…”
“Today, I, Chu Kuangren, human of the Firmament Star, seek to establish a unified empire!”
“I hereby declare that the title of this dynasty will be known as Chanqio (TN: short form pinyin for the original term 苍穹– Chang qiong, with both Gs removed), the regnal title as Soane (TN: acronym for original term 开元, which means the start of a new era), and Black Heaven City will be the capital of this glorious empire. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness to this, that humanity shall reign eternally be blessed with everlasting prosperity!”
