Heavenly Emperor Cangli stood before the Grand Unity Divine Palace, silhouetted against the setting sun. The scene seemed frozen in time.
Cangli murmured, "The story began here, and it will end here as well!"
Tianling Clan wore a sorrowful expression and stood silently behind the Heavenly Emperor.
Cangli slowly raised his head, sweeping his gaze over the crowd. His tone was steady and powerful. "Everyone, let us speak inside the Grand Unity Divine Palace and discuss the matter of the Nine Heavens of the Primordial World!"
All the Grand Unity experts followed behind. Li Fan entered the divine palace once more, feeling deeply moved. Things had changed, and so had the people.
Cangli's expression turned solemn. "My Grand Unity Dao Fruit suffered backlash from the River of Fate. Afterward, in my life-and-death battle against the Destiny Demon God, Hunyuan-level laws detonated my Origin Dao Injury. I do not have much time left!"
"The Dao Transformation of my Grand Unity Dao Fruit is inevitable. I will head to the Land of Finality—the Return to Ruins—to seek a glimmer of life. Perhaps there may still come a day when I return. Heaven toys with men; even I cannot escape Fate!"
"The Nine Heavens of the Primordial World cannot be without a master. Do any of you have such intentions? Speak your minds."
Cangli looked toward the Grand Unity Venerable God Tianling Clan. His cultivation was far too low. Commanding the Nine Heavens would bring disaster rather than fortune!
In truth, Huang Tian was also a candidate to take charge of the Nine Heavens of the Primordial World, but Cangli directly ruled him out. He simply wanted to prove himself!
Only Great Divine Powers were qualified to take charge of the Nine Heavens.
Earth Emperor Yuejian and Human Emperor Jiutou Clan withdrew immediately.
