Man-Made Heaven's Envy, Heaven-Made Heaven's Envy

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi?"

Yang Immortal Venerable's eyes widened.

"That's... you're still alive?!"

"Oh, even Xingtian could be resurrected through possession, how can you all so readily believe I'm dead?"

Yingzhao leaned lazily against the Throne and chuckled, "Do you think I'm less of a threat than Xingtian in your Human Race's assessment?"

"Naturally, he's superior to Xingtian, but you..."

Yang Immortal Venerable took a deep breath.

"You died at the hands of the Ancestor of Myriad Immortals."

"The Ancestor of Myriad Immortals, um... is that what you called him later?"

Yingzhao smiled thoughtfully.

"Indeed, it's understandable that you would think that way. Even I have to admit Bai Aiqing's bravery... But who says that when I face him, it has to be a do-or-die battle?"

It climbed onto the Throne and sat down with its enormous body.

"Long before I faced it, I had already sealed one of my souls into Yingzhao's body, and then sunk it into my Garden."

Yang Immortal Venerable remained silent for a long time before asking, "Your Majesty the Azure Emperor, does he... know that the person he is dealing with is you?"

"Of course I know, otherwise who do you think gathered this soul for me?"

"Yingzhao" used its Divine Power to lift the Jade Imperial Seal, and several beams of white light were absorbed into its body from the Jade Imperial Seal. Immediately, Yang Immortal Venerable and the book felt an incomparably terrifying pressure emanating from this Giant God, as if it were the sky.

"Alright, Yang Immortal Venerable, you know enough. I cannot let you live any longer."

Yingzhao lowered his head, and patches of nebulae began to appear around him. These nebulae were composed of incredibly powerful Star Core, which were terrifying and even Immortal Venerable would find it difficult to withstand.

"To die knowing the truth is my reward to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, several nebulae fell, transforming into countless meteors that hurtled towards Yang Immortal Venerable and the entire Immortal Imperial Army.

Faced with this unstoppable attack, Yang Immortal Venerable sighed, then sat cross-legged on the ground and simply closed his eyes to begin meditation.

However, the imagined pain did not come, and he did not even feel the tremors, explosions, or shaking that would occur when Stars falls to earth.

Yang Immortal Venerable opened his eyes in confusion and found that the area above his head was completely empty; there was no nebula to be seen.

He looked across and saw that "Yingzhao" was staring at the direction behind him with a very surprised look, and there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.

He turned around following Yingzhao's gaze and saw a young man with White Hair and a white robe standing at the entrance, looking at him with a smile.

"I heard something incredible as soon as I arrived. I'm really lucky."

He smiled and bowed to "Yingzhao" on the Throne.

"It's been over 300,000 years, Your Majesty. You've acquired a rather ugly body."

"My dear Bai, I truly never imagined that I would meet you at this time, in this place..."

Yingzhao murmured with a complicated expression, "Right now, the person I least want to see is you, but at the same time, the person I most want to see is also you."

"His Majesty."

Bai Qiuran's expression was strange.

I remember you don't have Homosexuality.

"Hmph, I want to see you because I want to tell you about the resentment I've held towards you for the past three hundred thousand years."

A fierce fire of revenge burned in Yingzhao's eyes.

"Do you know that since you killed me, I have been forced to hide in the Mount Huaijiang as Yingzhao? I can only watch helplessly as my concubines are taken away by other Heavenly Gods, and I can only watch helplessly as your good disciple slaughters all my descendants. Ah, I truly hate you!"

"Okay, I understand."

Bai Qiuran scratched her ear with her little finger.

"Then what?"

"And then? He poured out his grievances to his former enemy..."

Yingzhao laughed.

"Then, naturally, comes revenge."

"Your Majesty, please forgive my bluntness."

Bai Qiuran also laughed.

"With your current physical condition, taking revenge would be a bit of a stretch, wouldn't it?"

"Minister Bai's words are always so incisive."

Yingzhao chuckled and waddled his front hooves, his tone as if chatting with an old friend.

"For the past three hundred thousand years, does Minister Bai think I've been doing nothing? You must have seen those Demon Race when you came in, right?"

"Yes, I saw it."

Bai Qiuran nodded and said, "As a toy, it's a pretty good idea."

"Yes, those were just defective products left over from the experiment."

Yingzhao's face grinned.

"What I truly tested was your physical body. Your power all comes from your special Purple Mansion, doesn't it? Heaven's Envy?"

"Oh."

Bai Qiuran a moment, then chuckled and said, "Impressive, truly impressive. As expected of the Heavenly Emperor has schemed against the Heavenly Dao, you've uncovered a secret that even the Heavenly Dao is unwilling to mention."

"Hey, that bastard, the First Immortal Emperor, has always been wary of me, and even left an Immortal Emperor in the Mortal Realm to monitor me, making it difficult for me to Eastern Mountain. Therefore, for the past 300,000 years, I have been yearning for your unparalleled power, and I also want such a peerless physical body to house my noble soul."

"Yingzhao," or rather, Eastern Emperor Taiyi slowly said, "Indeed, this kind of Heavenly Dao was created by chance, and it stumped me for hundreds of thousands of years. But in the end, perseverance pays off. I accidentally retrieved a corpse with body attributes very similar to yours from the turbulent currents of the Void. Based on it, and after hundreds of thousands of years of continuous modification, I have finally succeeded!"

As he proclaimed, a colossal creature awoke from the darkness.

The mountain collapsed without warning, rocks crumbled, and even the black mist that shrouded the entire Mount Huaijiang was dispersed by the terrible impact.

As the light faded, the sky remained dim, and Bai Qiuran seemed to faintly hear the lament of the Heavenly Dao.

Yingzhao's body exploded without warning, and countless white lights shot out from his body into the ground. Then, the earth shook, and an unimaginably huge hand reached out, covering the entire sky.

Immediately, the mountains and rivers stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles shattered, and a colossal Giant God rose up, standing between Heavenly Harmony Book of Questions earth.

The immortals of the Immortal Imperial Army and Yang Immortal Venerable dodged the aftershocks of the collapse and arrived in mid-air, where they saw the Giant God standing between Heaven and Earth.

"What is that...?"

He gazed into the distance, muttering in disbelief.

Before him stood a figure whose height was immeasurable, its body so enormous that it disappeared into the Cloud Top, and below the clouds, only its two knees were visible.

"Yang Immortal Venerable."

Bai Qiuran suddenly appeared beside Yang Immortal Venerable, startling him greatly.

"You are...?"

Having already grasped some of Bai Qiuran's identity, Yang Immortal Venerable Bai Qiuran respectfully to her.

"At this point, there's no need to worry about etiquette."

Bai Qiuran said to him, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you a little."

Having said that, he raised his hand and took Yang Immortal Venerable, along with the three thousand Immortals of the Immortal Imperial Army, into the space he had casually created.

Then, Bai Qiuran turned to face the Giant God.

"I didn't expect that."

Wisdom Immortal was hanging from his waist, exclaimed with emotion, "I never thought he would actually succeed."
