As Meng Chuan and the other two talked, countless scenes unfolded beyond the Emperor's Carriage.
Heavenly Soldiers and Generals drilled, the High Heaven Palace stood majestic, flames of war consumed every corner, and the Great Dao of time collapsed, time itself becoming tangible and shattering into fragments...
Scenes of the Heavenly Court of old flashed past like a mirage of flowing light.
The Primordial Era had been the Heavenly Court's most glorious age.
With the Heavenly Emperor himself and the Other Shore Beings backing him, the Heavenly Court's power had reached a truly dazzling height.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Emperor's Position carried immense consequences. Every Heavenly Emperor was fated to meet a grim end, each one beset by ill omens in his later years.
Red Hair invading another world—that was what this amounted to.
And the Heavenly Court's continued existence rested almost entirely on the Heavenly Emperor alone.
As for the Five Emperors of the Five Realms, every one of them was a figure of towering renown, and each reached the Other Shore in time.
Even True Martial had once been the Dao Venerable's Attendant, a status that earned him courtesy from Other Shore Beings.
But these figures merely held honorary posts, coming to the Heavenly Court to enjoy its comforts and claim a share of its Fortune.
If disaster truly struck, they would at most protect their own confidants. Fighting to the death for the Heavenly Court was something they would never do.
Once the Heavenly Emperor was gone, the vast Heavenly Court vanished like smoke.
