Nine Empresses

"Gu Chen, I considered you the only family I had in this world. Yet, you schemed to steal my Heavenly Dao Bone, took my life, and ruined my foundation. Do you really think I knew nothing?"

"My sister loved you so much, but you sacrificed her and the child she carried to forge an Emperor Weapon spirit. Today, I can finally avenge my sister!"

"Heavenly Emperor! You didn't expect this, did you? I endured humiliation until this day just to cut off all your escape routes!"

"Gu Chen, what makes you the Heavenly Emperor? In truth, you are the greatest demon in this world!"

Thirty-three heavens, Heavenly Emperor Palace, the sounds of slaughter shook the sky!

The Heavenly Emperor Palace, once majestically towering, where rare glimpses of immortal birds and spirit beasts would appear, resembling a celestial realm, had long since turned into ruins.

The magnificent golden palaces and pavilions had all collapsed, becoming scorched earth.

In the void, nine breathtakingly beautiful women, each with extraordinary bearing, had all reached the Emperor Realm without exception!

These were actually the Nine Empresses!

Yet, the empresses who were usually so aloof were now one after another denouncing Gu Chen's crimes.

"If Gu Chen doesn't die, how can we atone for the sins he personally committed over the years?"

The one speaking was a stunningly beautiful woman with a cold and aloof demeanor.

Her name was Gu Youwei.

She was Heavenly Emperor Gu Chen's own sister!

Now, she stood resolutely on Gu Chen's opposing side, her face contorted, her eyes unable to conceal her immense hatred.

"Master! The Great Heaven Creation Scripture was clearly mine. Why could you cultivate it but not teach me? Since you wouldn't give it to me, I had no choice but to take it myself!"

The one speaking was a woman with an heroic and handsome face.

She was Heavenly Emperor Gu Chen's only disciple, Luo Junzhu, who was also an Empress!

Before the ruins of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Gu Chen, clad in white, stood with his hands behind his back, his black hair cascading down. His ancient eyes seemed to hold the rise and fall of great stars.

As if facing a storm, not a ripple could be stirred.

Gu Chen's gaze swept over them indifferently. Among these people were his own sister, his disciple, his childhood sweetheart...

The cultivation techniques they practiced, the divine weapons they wielded, all originated from him.

And today, they were using these very things against him!

Thinking of this, a desolate, self-deprecating smile appeared on Gu Chen's face.

The Nine Empresses' gazes were like ice, looking down at Gu Chen from above, their expressions cold, filled with chilling killing intent.

They wished to see Gu Chen's panic and death throes, but Gu Chen remained unfazed, his demeanor lofty and proud.

This calm demeanor caused a sense of unease to arise in the hearts of the Nine Empresses.

Heavenly Emperor Gu Chen's cultivation was peerless throughout history. If they hadn't meticulously planned for a thousand years and laid down a killing formation, even their combined strength would have been futile.

But this also stung the pride of the Nine Empresses.

They had always been treated as mere ornaments by Gu Chen's side. Even now, they couldn't distinguish whether they hated Gu Chen or were jealous of him!

But at this moment, Gu Chen was at his wit's end. Shouldn't he shed his arrogance and grovel at their feet?

Gu Chen slightly raised his eyes, unable to conceal his anger: "The Nine Empresses encircling and killing, a heaven and earth killing formation, unprecedented in all history!"

The hearts of the Nine Empresses trembled slightly, as if they saw again the peerless might of this man, who was like a god and a demon, as he slew ancient supreme beings and flattened forbidden life zones!

"Heavenly Emperor, what's the use of how powerful you were before? Aren't you still going to fall today?"

Another graceful voice rang out. Empress Wei Qingyu's eyes were fierce.

She was Gu Chen's childhood sweetheart, having followed him since his humble beginnings.

"Die!"

The Nine Empresses roared in unison and charged towards Gu Chen!

"Come and fight!"

Gu Chen advanced instead of retreating, his fighting spirit pushed to its extreme. Supreme magical power erupted from his body, as dazzling as the blazing sun, shining brilliantly!

Buzz!

The Great Dao wailed, and the heavens and earth were almost torn apart!

A River of Time appeared from the void, its waves surging. Each wave crashing represented the beginning and end of a world!

"It's the River of Time! The legend is true! Such a thing actually exists in this world!"

"Hahahaha! As long as we can go upstream, all our regrets can be mended!"

"Quick, go in! Let's start a new life, and I'll never stand in Gu Chen's shadow again!"

The Nine Empresses were all overjoyed and plunged into the River of Time, heading upstream!

"The River of Time, huh? I'd like to see if you can truly reverse time and mend regrets!"

Gu Chen also took a step forward!

The mortal realm.

East Desolation Commandery, Gu Family!

Gu Chen's body trembled. When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with a sense of vicissitudes and surprise.

He had actually crossed the River of Time and returned in rebirth.

The sealed memories resurfaced. At this moment, he had only just begun his cultivation!

Bang!

Just then, the door was rudely pushed open, and a little girl swaggered in.

However, her face held none of the innocence of a child.

"As expected, Gu Chen, you've returned too!"

"You're really lucky. In your last life, you were supposed to vanish into thin air right here!"

"In this life, you'll never get the chance to snatch my Heavenly Dao Bone and my family away again!"

"Before I came, I already spoke with Uncle and Aunt. Today, I'm officially changing the family registry and becoming their child, having a complete family!"

Gu Youwei revealed a triumphant smile.

In the previous life, Gu Chen and Gu Youwei's parents died in battle for the family, and the siblings were raised by their Uncle and Aunt.

Gu Youwei had always longed for a complete family.

At that time, her Uncle and Aunt had just proposed formally adopting them, and Gu Youwei was incredibly excited. But Gu Chen had insisted on his own way, splitting the family immediately upon reaching adulthood, and the siblings lived alone.

For this reason, Gu Youwei had resented Gu Chen her entire life!

Gu Youwei tilted her chin up, waiting for Gu Chen to grit his teeth in anger. But Gu Chen merely glanced at her indifferently, his gaze like he was looking at an idiot.

"Gu Chen, what's with that look? Don't you have anything to say?" Gu Youwei questioned.

"Since you like to recognize a thief as your father, why should I stop you?"

Gu Chen let out a cold laugh.

"You're spouting nonsense! Uncle and Aunt treat me the best!"

"I get it, you regretted it in your past life too, but I got here first this time, so you have no chance! Hahaha!"

Gu Youwei smiled, wearing an expression that said she knew everything.

"Gu Chen, it's useless for you to regret it now! Uncle and Aunt will only be my parents. You can go live in that dilapidated house from your last life by yourself!"

"Are you done?"

Gu Chen interrupted coldly.

Gu Youwei's voice abruptly stopped.

"If you're done, then scram. You standing here chirping is giving me a headache!" Gu Chen said without politeness.

"You!"

"Gu Chen, do you still think you have your past life's cultivation?"

"This time I have resources, I have cultivation techniques. This time, I will definitely crush you under my heel!"

Gu Chen wasn't interested in listening to Gu Youwei's childish threats. He stood up, grabbed Gu Youwei by the scruff of her neck, and tossed her out.

Neither of them had cultivated yet, and Gu Chen was two or three years older than Gu Youwei, so she couldn't struggle free at all.

"Dare to come near again, and I'll spank your butt!"

Gu Chen slammed the door shut heavily.

Gu Youwei gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare make a sound. A wave of grievance washed over her.

In her past life, Gu Chen had taken such good care of her, never even speaking a harsh word. Now, he was treating her so rudely!

Wasn't it just that she wanted to kill him before his rebirth?

He didn't die in the end anyway, so why was Gu Chen throwing a tantrum?

"Gu Chen!"

Gu Youwei cursed him viciously in a low voice and turned to leave.

She was going to acknowledge her parents. She was determined to make Gu Chen regret it and be envious!

Inside the room, Gu Chen wasn't in the mood to bother with Gu Youwei's choice.

She never remembered his kindness anyway!

She would only feel that his discipline had deprived her of her freedom and a complete family.

Just as Gu Chen thought the world had finally quieted down for a moment, a clear voice suddenly came from outside.

"Gu Chen, come out! I know you must have returned too!"

"Do you think I regretted breaking off our engagement in my last life?"

"Absolutely not! Today, I, Wei Qingyu, am also here to break off our engagement with you!"
