Emperor Dong Hua Enters Jingchu, and All Six Days Are Ghosts

Yu Ji's response appeared serious and firm, and Rovi also paused for a moment.

He knew, of course, that she regarded him as her human. For Star Spirit who had always been alone, having a companion was undoubtedly a very rare and precious thing.

Just like Tiamat before her, a lonely being will always desperately try to grasp at anything for comfort.

"Then... let's go together!" Rovi thought for a moment and did not refuse.

As Yu Ji herself said, much of the information she possessed was exactly what Rovi needed.

The Planet Spirit, who revealed her physical form long ago, has seen countless landscapes. She knows the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and is aware of many secrets of the divine era.

She needs him.

He needed her just as much—only by having enough information could he more accurately pinpoint danger.

Rovi took Yu Ji's hand.

Below, the people lifted up by the Kun Fish were still weeping. When they looked up, they could see a blazing sun. The sun's rays fell on them, dispelling the chill that had drifted along their journey, but they could not dispel the sorrow in their hearts.

Faced with undeserved disaster, faced with the grief of families torn apart...

"Do you want a home?" the god asked, bending down.

Do you miss home?

Of course I want to.

But how could they survive when their family was in ruins?

"Do you want to, or not?" Rovi asked repeatedly. The power of the Emperor Dong Hua stirred up the waves of the vast sea, and the sea surface seemed to move in an instant.

The crowd was horrified and bewildered. Someone took a deep breath. "I... I want to go home!"

He wanted to go home.

He wanted to go back to the place where he grew up.

Go to that place you cherish...

Even though he fled in haste, it was only out of necessity; he could not bear to leave his homeland, where his family lived.

"I want to go home, I want to save my family!"

"I am willing to give everything I have."

"I beg your help—"

"Revered Sea God, we are willing to offer everything we have, no matter what we do, we are willing."

"We want to go home!"

They were pleading for help, just like the people Yu Ji had seen countless times, but it also seemed... different?

"This is not a simple plea, but an exchange." Rovi smiled. "Those who live at the bottom are no different from those who eat meat at the top."

"Those who eat meat live in luxury and are rich and powerful. In the Mythic Age, many people were blessed by the gods and possessed everything that ordinary people could not. So they did not know that in this world, only by giving can one receive."

You can only reap what you sow—and that's only a possibility.

This is common sense, but not everyone can take it for granted.

The people in front of us are neither bad nor good; they are simply a group of people who understand this principle, know only this principle, and exist in this world with difficulty, guided by this principle.

Human hearts are fickle, but there are also things that remain constant.

Yu Ji looked at Rovi, a thoughtful expression appearing on her pretty face... This guy really knows a lot.

The girl couldn't help but think about it.

But for some reason, she enjoyed listening to him talk about philosophy, and she enjoyed listening to him talk about the philosophy she had seen in the world.

For example, right now...

He leaned down and asked again, "Do you believe me?"

"I am the God who controls the sunrise and sunset, I am the God of the Fusang Tree, I am... I am the Great Emperor Fusang, I am the Emperor Dong Hua..." Unspeakable names, unspeakable titles.

Rovi flicked his sleeve. "If you're willing to believe me, then follow me, family!"

Your home.

Too--

My home!

A blazing sun swept across the water, and the boundless sea rose and fell, crashing down like a torrential downpour.

The cascading water washed away the dust and grime of their journey. Some wiped away their tears and stood up, some took a deep breath and clenched their fists, while others remained motionless—not everyone dared to believe, and not everyone could share the same sentiment.

Rovi did not insist.

Those who believe in him will return home; those who do not believe in him will remain where they are.

"We, the people!"

Rovi's gaze was directed at Yu Ji.

The monastic family—?

Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

She wasn't really sure what home was, but at least at this moment she felt very peaceful, without the past confusion or bewilderment.

Someone once said that home is where the heart is.

So wherever Rovi goes, that's her home.

"Whatever you want!" She revealed a pair of delicate little tiger teeth, her sleeves fluttering as she deliberately feigned a feeling of not wanting to go but having no choice. "Going to see it wouldn't hurt."

Rovi then smiled nonchalantly. He lightly tapped the Pure Yang Sword with his fingers.

Then the sound of swords rang out, echoing throughout the heavens and the universe.

The sword rang out, the wind rose, the sea churned, and the vast, endless East China Sea swirled with countless eddies. Dark clouds appeared in the sky, and countless fish darted about in the sea. The Kun Fish carrying everyone let out a long cry and quickly rose to the surface.

They then suddenly realized that what they were standing on was not an island, but fish.

The vast and endless wind and water converge into countless vortexes.

Those who longed for the sea were lifted up by the descending dark clouds, which were flying fish formed from water mist, carrying them along the rolling ocean currents.

A blazing sun shines in the distance, bathed in the bright glow of dawn.

The giant hibiscus tree swayed.

Since ancient times, the overall topography of the Divine Land has always been such that the sky tilts to the northwest and the land is not full in the southeast.

The great Taiga and streams have always flowed from west to east to the sea.

But at this moment, the seawater rose layer by layer, and the surging waves were like blooming fireworks, pure white and rolling, yet in the midst of roaring, they rushed towards the clouds and soared up to the high land of China.

It was a vast expanse of water vapor, as powerful as a giant roaring between heaven and earth, gripping and biting the sky and the earth together tightly.

But within it, there is a line that cuts through, as if a dragon has severed the sky and the earth.

That light was the light of the sun.

The sun shone with the brilliance of dawn.

Located on the Qi Land of the East China Sea, the people living here look up at the vast ocean and gaze at the surging currents.

"What... what a sight!?" The man was stunned, his eyes filled with surprise and horror.

It's not just the sea.

At this moment, even that sliver of light seemed to shine even brighter and more dazzling.

In the Qi State, whose capital was Handan, an official in charge of celestial phenomena presented a report to the King of Qi, stating that "the celestial phenomena are unusual, the imperial star is difficult to move, the sun is shaking, and a calamity will follow."

The swirling water vapor accumulated, settled, and grew larger.

However, they did not directly enter the Divine Land.

Because Rovi sensed the 'boundary'.

That is the boundary between the inside and outside of the Divine Land.

"In ancient times, Emperor Yu cast nine tripods to govern the nine provinces. When the nine tripods were completed, the nine provinces were established." Surrounded by the light of the Pure Yang Sword, Yu Ji stood beside Rovi, gazing up at the invisible boundary, and slowly spoke, "The nine tripods are conceptual nine tripods, while the nine provinces are the 'array' that covers the Divine Land!"

A colossal array, gathering the boundless Great Source Magic Power of a world—vital Primal Qi —based on the 'ka', envelops this world. It is a manifestation of a concept far superior to large-scale Magecraft like ' Reality Marble '.

It was this formation, forged by Emperor Yu, that shielded Rovi from scanning and sensing the Divine Land from the East Sea.

Emperor Yu was also once a Heavenly Emperor.

The supreme, primordial being left behind things, and it is indeed capable of doing so.

It can even hinder Rovi's direct advance.

Rovi frowned as he glanced at the rolling seawater and the surging clouds behind him.

He smiled and said, "Since that's the case..."

"Then let's tear this barrier apart!"

The Nine Provinces Formation is for the protection of the Divine Land.

But times change and everything is subject to change; the protection of the past has become a limitation now.

Yes, Rovi can tell.

At this moment, the Nine Provinces Barrier restricted the expansion of the Divine Land and restricted entry and exit from within and outside the Nine Provinces.

Emperor Yu was a man of great ambition, but later generations cannot rigidly adhere to the rules set by their predecessors.

Change is needed.

Change leads to progress, and progress leads to strength.

So--

"Please see, this sword!" With a clang, the sword light remained, but the dazzling light condensed in Rovi's palm into a crystal-clear, fiery red sword.

He said, "The clouds are coming."

The vast clouds gathering behind him instantly converged onto the sword.

He recited, "The rain is coming."

A flurry of falling water droplets swirled around them.

Rivers, lakes, and seas!

The sea was boiling, and countless rivers and estuaries flowing into the East China Sea also appeared to be boiling at the same time.

Moisture condenses on the sword.

Countless people, carried by the clouds behind them, looked up at the figure standing in front of them.

His appearance was revealed by a divine being, which is unknowable and invisible to ordinary people.

Rovi gripped his sword, his long sleeves fluttering like fire.

From this point on, he will—

Swing your sword!

This sword strike embodies the concepts of clouds, rain, water, and the triple cycle of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

This sword strike gathers the weight of the sea to confront the barrier of the Nine Provinces, which gathers the Primal Qi of heaven and earth.

He responded to the infinite with the infinite.

The winds and clouds roar!

On the shores of the East China Sea and the edge of Kyushu, invisible ripples shimmer brilliantly.

They clashed and collided violently.

Then came the shattering.

Cracks appeared layer by layer, and the fragmentation spread layer by layer.

The Kyushu Formation is shattered.

The world is vast in an instant.

The surging seawater, amidst its undulating layers, submerged the land.

A vast and chaotic scene.

The only one holding the sword stepped forward—

Where the wind and rain subside, it's like a new day has begun!

The fifteenth year of King Kao Lie of Chu records. "At that time, the people were in turmoil. A god named Donghua appeared in the East Sea, flowing from the Yangtze River into the land of Jingchu. The rolling rivers and mountains were filled with water, yet there was no famine. The people were amazed. From then on, the god Donghua was widely worshipped, and his reign was considered legitimate."

'Records of the Grand Historian: The Hereditary House of Chu'

Boom! Boom! Boom!

at this point.

The wind and rain poured into the land, dark clouds rolled in, and thunder was sure to follow. In the Chu Land, the shimmering light was obscured by the booming thunder, and the gale tore at the fertile land for thousands of miles.

After shattering the barrier of Kyushu, the weight of the sea also dissipated along with it.

Those who followed fell into the river and landed safely, protected by the dense water vapor, which also warded off all evil.

Rovi has brought them home.

They are safe now.

However, his hometown remained in chaos.

As a powerful nation known for its large population and vast territory, and as a powerful nation that still retains a certain level of strength after years of war, this land does not present a prosperous scene at this moment.

Instead, it's chaos—

Mutinous soldiers, bandits, civilians, and all living beings.

It is the living beings that are in chaos.

It is also the 'evil' in people's hearts.

However, when Rovi entered this place, the chaos within Rovi's consciousness was unable to absorb any chaos or evil.

"Were they all absorbed by some being?" He raised his head and looked up at the sky.

A black sun appeared high in the sky above the Chu Land.

Pitch black, deep.

It exudes a strong sense of eeriness.

It does indeed contain the concept of 'Taiyi', yet it is not 'Taiyi'.

Rovi could sense the manifestation of the concepts within, which were merely manifestations of the concepts left behind by the Supreme God.

It is not its true form, and the difference between it and its true form is quite significant.

But it was indeed insane, indeed filled with chaos and malice, and the power manifested by this insane and twisted malice was also extremely enormous.

Ultimately, although Chu Land was just one country, its fertile plains stretched for thousands of miles and were larger than any country or even the entire region he had encountered before.

With such a large population, the malice that would result from their sheer numbers would naturally be immense.

The sun high in the sky is merely a manifestation of something else; its true form is not here, but rather...

"In Tanggu!" Yu Ji suddenly spoke, pointing Rovi in a certain direction.

Rovi closed his eyes, and the drizzling rain fell from the sky.

"Wait for me to come back!" After leaving these words, Rovi enveloped Yu Ji with the Pure Yang Sword, intending to send her to the ground. Yu Ji did not resist; she knew that the battle between Chu Chu and Chu Chu was beyond her reach.

"You must come back."

She simply said, "Don't forget, you stole my place!"

"This isn't your place," Rovi laughed heartily. "But don't worry, I'll be back—"

But hope. It's in the form of a dead person.

Yu Ji landed on the ground, her body constantly enveloped by the Pure Yang Sword, and Rovi could always sense her presence.

He shook his sleeves and went alone in the direction he was told.

Tanggu.

Another place where the sun rises in ancient mythology.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the deep, silent valley, the plants and trees disturbed by the thunder shook violently. Amidst the ruins of the once magnificent palace, a huge and twisted figure slowly opened its eyes.

"So, it's finally here..." The Nine-Tails swept its light across his face, and beside him, a phantom Projection smiled, "It's up to you now, Your Majesty Taiyi—"

"No, perhaps I should call you, Tian Gu Qi Yi."

The Nine-Tails Fox fox swayed its tail as it looked at the dark figure before it. Although it was a condensed concept of the ancient Taiyi, it was not the same being as the ancient supreme god of Chu Land, Taiyi.

In essence, it is merely the mad and chaotic aspect that was stripped away from the Taiyi God.

"Originally, I intended to borrow Taiyi's power, but I unexpectedly discovered something so interesting... Borrowing the power of Old World Evil God to merge with the existence of an evil god who transcends planets and comes into contact with the chaos of the universe, thereby tempering oneself, allowing oneself to transcend from a planetary life form to the universe, and then, after the transformation, stripping away the chaos again... This incredible method actually succeeded! The so-called God-Sealing War, what they sealed away was actually what they themselves had stripped away!"

"No wonder, I was no match for them at all. No wonder even though Ai Ai was Star Spirit, she disappeared after the Conferred Godhood. Those Immortals and Gods —they are truly terrifying!"

Despite the turmoil in her mind, the Nine-Tails Fox became even more determined to seize the power of the sun.

As her opponent, he was truly terrifying.

The dark figure did not answer; it simply sat silently on its Divine Seat amidst the ruins, its posture as serene as the black sun in the sky, yet its appearance possessed a somewhat chaotic and distorted quality.

It has neither self nor wisdom.

But the Nine-Tails Fox's words weren't addressed to Him, but rather...

"What do you think, ' Emperor Dong Hua '?"

Amidst the rain, a figure stepped out through the mist.
