Chapter 484
Qinglan sighed softly.
He had a very good impression of Wu Chang, but unfortunately it was just a fleeting moment.
"The first thing we need to discuss is whether or not to avenge Wu Chang."
The woman in silver gauze glanced at the crowd and said softly, "Regardless of the details, everyone simply needs to decide whether it is or is not."
"Those who don't want to, raise your hands."
The words had barely left his mouth.
She was the first to raise her delicate, jade-like hand high.
Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people also raised their hands.
Soon.
Of the thirteen people present, only Qinglan did not raise her hand.
"It seems everyone agrees. Let's begin discussing the second matter."
The woman in the silver veil smiled and continued.
"The appearance of the Immortal Sealing Scroll signifies the imminent end of this era. The mandate of heaven is shifting, and the days of the Heavenly Court's rule over the universe are coming to an end. This is our opportunity."
"As everyone knows, the Immortal Sealing Scroll is the key to unlocking the next era. Whoever obtains the Immortal Sealing Scroll will be the protagonist of the next era. Now, the latest news from the outside world confirms this person's identity."
575. Child of the Stars
"Moreover, this person is very likely the prophesied Child of the Stars, the one who can make all beings eternal!"
Upon hearing the words "Child of the Stars," the pupils of the other eleven people present couldn't help but contract sharply.
The title "Child of the Stars" is truly astonishing.
They all know.
This means that all departed beings can return to their original place.
It can reverse all time, space, cause and effect, and destiny; all tangible and intangible matter and spirit can have their wishes fulfilled.
The prophesied Child of the Stars are beings transcending everything, belonging not to any particular era, existing not in any particular time or space, and unbound by any constraints.
"Second Sister, is what you're saying true? The Child of the Stars has really been born? Born in our cosmic era?!"
Upon hearing this, the young man in the green robe Qinglan, immediately became excited.
The other eleven people remained silent, but were equally shocked.
"It's highly likely!"
The woman in silver gauze nodded slightly and said, "The third thing is that we need to elect one of our representatives to go to the outside world and make contact with the 'Child of the Stars' to try to establish a friendly relationship with her, so that she can help us break free from the seal of the Immortal Sealing Scroll, see the light of day again, and even achieve eternity!"
Upon hearing this statement...
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Second Sister is right. Regardless of whether this person is truly the Child of the Stars, even if she isn't, as long as she controls the Immortal Sealing Scroll, she is at least a protagonist of this era!"
A phantom figure echoed this sentiment.
Qinglan said earnestly, "The Child of the Stars must have something special about him; let's find out!"
"Since that's the case..."
The woman in silver gauze smiled slightly, her gaze sweeping across the room once more, and said softly, "Gentlemen, who do you think is more suitable?"
"This..."
The others exchanged glances, their expressions hesitant.
"I think only my second sister can handle this herself!"
"None of us are as good as our second sister!"
"We don't recognize anyone except our second sister!"
Voices rang out, and everyone agreed.
"You're giving me too much credit..."
The woman in the silver veil chuckled, but did not refute it.
"Alright, since everyone supports it, I'll have to reluctantly accept the role of representative this time."
She shook her head and sighed, looking helpless.
"Second sister, you've worked hard!"
The group spoke respectfully.
"Um."
The woman in silver gauze nodded slightly.
"But... Second Sister, the Immortal Sealing Scroll isn't in our hands now. How can we leave the Heavenly Prison?"
Someone asked.
"It's not difficult."
The woman in silver gauze smiled slightly and said, "Even though the operation of the Heavenly Prison depends on the Heavenly Court, the Immortal Sealing Scroll is merely a key."
"The Heavenly Court's strength is declining, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to even maintain its own operations, let alone take care of peripheral places like the Heavenly Prison."
"Since we don't have the key, let's just smash the wall down!"
"Boom!"
As the words fell, an extremely terrifying wave erupted instantly, spreading throughout the entire prison and causing violent turmoil in an instant.
The imperial prison has collapsed!
At the pinnacle of the Thirty-three Heavens Supreme Heaven Realm.
The Heavenly Court, the Supreme Immortal Palace.
This celestial palace stands majestically in the sky, ancient and sacred, shimmering with brilliant golden light.
Within the celestial palace, however, lies a small, expansive palace.
The palaces floated above the heavens, with colorful clouds hanging down, ethereal and mysterious.
In the center of the palace, three majestic and imposing figures sat cross-legged, surrounded by endless arrays and runes that shimmered with dazzling divine light, like three ancient deities overlooking the vast expanse of time, majestic and profound.
These three figures were the rulers of the Upper Three Heavens.
Taishang Heavenly Venerable, Daluo Heavenly Venerable, Wuji Heavenly Venerable.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a light shone.
The light faded, revealing a token.
The Taishang Heavenly Venerable opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed the token, which fell into his hand.
After observing it carefully for a moment, he suddenly frowned, as if he had sensed something.
The other two had the same expression.
"Something happened?"
"The Heavenly Prison has been destroyed!"
The Wuji Heavenly Venerable spoke slowly, his voice deep and solemn.
"Um."
The Daluo Heavenly Venerable nodded slowly, his eyes closed, cloudy and dim, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he continued, "It's not just the Heavenly Prison..."
"The Immortal Sealing Scroll has been released. They can't contain themselves and will definitely try to contact the new owner of the Immortal Sealing Scroll. This is an opportunity."
The Taishang Heavenly Venerable nodded slightly, a cold smile playing on his lips, "They were trapped in the Heavenly Prison, beyond our control. Now that they're out, let's wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"
"In that case, declare the owner of the Immortal Sealing Scroll utterly wicked, and notify all the heavens to execute this evildoer."
The Daluo Heavenly Venerable nodded.
"I've heard that the master of the Immortal Sealing Scroll might be a 'Child of the Stars,' is that believable?"
Wuji Heavenly Venerable hesitated slightly.
"The Child of the Stars is just a legend, no need to worry about it. Let's just proceed according to the plan!"
The Taishang Heavenly Venerable remained calm, seemingly completely unconcerned about the 'Child of the Stars'.
"Indeed, after so many eras, the Child of the Stars remains just a legend. Whether it's a rumor or not is impossible to verify. Even if it were true, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that it appeared in our era."
The Wuji Heavenly Venerable nodded slightly.
The Child of the Stars are too far away.
Even if He could possibly emerge from the long river of time, it is too distant and there is no concrete evidence to support it, so there is no need to consider it.
The Daluo Heavenly Venerable nodded, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Is there any news from the Heavenly Emperor?"
Upon hearing the mention of the Heavenly Emperor, the three of them immediately became serious.
"Not yet, He escaped too quickly, there's no way to find him."
The Daluo Heavenly Venerable shook his head slightly, appearing quite irritated.
"We must find her no matter what! As long as the Heavenly Emperor lives, we cannot fully grasp the Heaven Realm Origin; without fully grasping the Heaven Realm Origin, we cannot be absolutely certain of surviving this Cosmic Tribulation Annihilation!!"
The Taishang Heavenly Venerable's voice was deep and resonant, revealing a strong sense of crisis.
He gazed at the Daluo Heavenly Venerable and the Wuji Heavenly Venerable, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Alright then, for the next period of time... Second Brother, you will be responsible for maintaining order in all the heavens and star fields, delaying the arrival of the great calamity as much as possible, and stalling for time to the greatest extent possible!"
Upon hearing this, the Daluo Heavenly Venerable nodded solemnly, but then said with difficulty, "Brother, as you know, the various heavens are now all harboring their own ulterior motives, and the outer star domains have long been obedient to orders but not to decrees. Now, when the Heavenly Court issues orders, they don't even bother to outwardly comply but inwardly defy them. When the Immortal Tribute arrive, they completely ignore them, let alone order them to do any specific tasks..."
The Taishang Heavenly Venerable frowned slightly, and after a moment said, "There are conflicts among the various realms. They are all disobeying the imperial edict. Why don't you stir up trouble among them? In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. If necessary, instigating a war between the immortal kingdoms and causing the fall of several immortal kings is not unacceptable. You must do your utmost to delay the arrival of the great calamity and buy us time!"
"Well... okay, I'll do my best!"
The Daluo Heavenly Venerable sighed and finally nodded.
The Taishang Heavenly Venerable looked at the Wuji Heavenly Venerable and said, "Third Brother, you should go and manage the affairs related to the master of the Immortal Sealing Scroll and those Innate Immortal. Do not act rashly, but also ensure that the situation remains under control."
Wuji Heavenly Venerable nodded and said, "I have no problem on my side, but the master of the Immortal Sealing Scroll seems to have grown up and should have already left the Cosmic Great Dao, heading to the Outer Deep Space with the people of the Longevity Heaven Realm... We found out before that some remnants of the Eight Mountains and Nine Seas escaped during the gap in the appearance of the Immortal Sealing Scroll. Brother, as you know, our Heavenly Court is short-handed, and the various realms and star fields have not paid their Immortal Tribute for a long time, so there is no salary to provide for the Heavenly Court's inspectors..."
Upon hearing this, the Taishang Heavenly Venerable's face darkened, and he said, "You mean, things can't be done without money?"
Wuji Heavenly Venerable spread his hands and said helplessly, "I am willing to help, but things can't be done by one person alone. How can we get those profit-driven inspectors to be loyal to their duties without giving them immortal crystals?"
At this point, the Daluo Heavenly Venerable interjected, "Brother, what Third Brother says is true. To make the various heavens obey, one must spend immortal crystals. Otherwise, our envoys really can't even get through the gates of the various heavens... Last time, when we summoned them to the Heavenly Court to discuss the Tribulation of Immortal Slaying Tribulation, apart from the Longevity Heaven Realm and the Great Brahma Heaven Realm, not a single Heavenly Venerable from the other heavens came. If this continues, even without the great calamity, the prestige of our Heavenly Court will be completely destroyed!"
Upon hearing this, the Taishang Heavenly Venerable frowned and remained silent.
After a long while, the Taishang Heavenly Venerable finally raised his head, looked at the two of them, and said, "What do you think should be done?"
Upon hearing this, the Daluo Heavenly Venerable and the Wuji Heavenly Venerable exchanged a glance.
"I would like to ask my elder brother to make the decision."
Both of them cupped their hands in greeting.
The Taishang Heavenly Venerable frowned, and after a long while, he looked at the Daluo Heavenly Venerable and the Wuji Heavenly Venerable, and said calmly, "My two virtuous brothers, in times of crisis, we are in the same boat. What happened back then was done together, and if the boat capsizes, no one can escape. Now that things have come to this, let's not try to be clever anymore!"
"For the next period of time, I will focus my energy on capturing the Heavenly Emperor. You can handle everything else!"
Upon hearing this, both the Daluo Heavenly Venerable and the Wuji Heavenly Venerable trembled inwardly, their expressions changing slightly, but they dared not refute, respectfully replying, "We will obey our elder brother's decree!"
He finished speaking.
The figure of the Taishang Heavenly Venerable has vanished.
The Daluo Heavenly Venerable and the Wuji Heavenly Venerable exchanged a glance, revealing insincere smiles, their tacit understanding dissipating.
The Upper Three Heavens, the Wuji Heaven Realm.
Wuji Heaven Palace.
