Leaving the Multiverse

As Jiang Yuu finished speaking...

"Waaah!"

A desolate and majestic bugle call sounded.

The melodious sound seemed to come from the ancient Mythic Age, spreading from the summit of Paradise Mountain to the entire Multiverse.

One by one, the Supreme of the Eastern Paradise Mountain led their powerful legions up Paradise Mountain and settled into the designated areas.

The Supreme were quite satisfied with the temporary areas allocated to them for residence.

After all, the journey would take at least tens of thousands of years, and without a peaceful and comfortable place, how could one feel at ease?

Six hundred Supreme and their powerful subordinates entered Paradise Mountain.

Flags representing the identities of the Supreme Beings were erected throughout Paradise Mountain.

Nearly six hundred large banners stood tall throughout Paradise Mountain, with countless powerful figures standing beneath them, gazing up at the now towering Blazing Heaven Holy Banner, which had been planted atop the Paradise Mountain.

The sacred banner moved without wind, accompanied by gusts of Sacred Wind across Paradise Mountain, raising the banners and creating a solemn and austere atmosphere.

And so, at that moment, the desolate and ancient bugle call ceased.

The sound of war drums then resounded.

Countless Angel, with their radiant wings fluttering and their longswords of eternal, burning flames held high, danced and sang hymns in the sky above Paradise Mountain.

They proclaimed an indomitable fighting spirit and sang praises to the power of the great Lord of Heaven.

Every strongman in the expeditionary force who heard the songs and chants was moved and began to sing the hymns they knew.

This was what their sovereign, the Supreme ruler, taught them on their way here.

How can you survive in the Eastern Paradise Mountain if you can't sing hymns?

As the hymns resounded throughout Paradise Mountain, a brilliant and glorious light emanated from the Paradise Mountain.

At this very moment.

Jiang Yuu rose from His Supreme Platinum Heavenly Throne, walked to the summit of Paradise Mountain, first looking down upon His expeditionary armies, then gazing behind Him at the vast and endless Multiverse, and within that Multiverse, the tiny yet magnificent Original Universe.

He took a deep breath, and his expression changed from gentle to serious.

He raised his Holiness purple eyes, leaned on his longsword, and looked into the depths of the World Bridge at the vast and boundless "nothingness," speaking with majesty.

"Marching out!"

These two words.

Its power, as vast and powerful as the Sun and Moon, resounded in the ears of every member of the expeditionary force.

Following the beat of the war drums, the magnificent Paradise Mountain began to move, seemingly very slowly but actually extremely quickly passing through the depths of the World Bridge, passing through the path of "existence and non-existence," from the Multiverse to the true place of "nothingness."

They went to war.

On Paradise Mountain.

Immortal Lord Longevity, the Divine Lord Serenity, and the two thousand envoys of the Mountains and Seas Pride looked at the Multiverse gradually receding behind them, boundless joy rose in their hearts.

Some of them even couldn't help but shed tears.

"Over three hundred thousand years, an endless journey, has finally found meaning. Praise be to Him, Your Majesty, the Great Lord of Radiance, Yuliel."

"Fellow countrymen, wait for us, reinforcements are coming."

"We have begged for reinforcements, and we only hope that when we arrive, the Mountains and Seas will still be unharmed, then we will have no regrets."

Within the Multiverse.

Original Universe.

As Jiang Yuu left, Annatania, who was sitting on the Golden Divine Throne, seemed to sense something. She stood up from her Divine Throne and looked in the direction of the Eastern Region World Bridge, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

After a long while, she placed her hands on her full breasts and whispered a blessing.

"Yuliel, my husband, I do not ask that you conquer Endless Planes or subdue the people of Mountains and Seas; I only wish for your safe return."

A few days later.

At the center of the Multiverse Jun Court.

The Supreme Jun and Empress Luan sat facing each other, neither of them speaking, but gazing towards the distant and boundless Eastern Region.

They have their own channels for obtaining information from the Eastern Region.

The Empress spoke first.

"Father, Yuliel, the Lord of Paradise Mountain, has finally set out on his campaign."

"Yes, I never expected that the one who would resolve the crisis in my Multiverse this time would not be me, Jun Court, but the newly risen Lord of Paradise Mountain."

"Supreme Jun sighed."

"But it's good, with the strength of the Eastern Region joining in, the Boundless Mountains and Seas should be able to hold out for a while longer, and won't be completely breached by the Endless Planes."

"Father, aren't you worried that Yuliel can really defeat the Endless Planes and win the power of the Boundless Mountains and Seas?"

Empress Luan suddenly asked.

"Of course not, my daughter."

The Supreme Jun laughed.

"I, too, once fought alongside the Celestial Emperor Mu and his army across Endless Planes planes."

"While the power of the Endless Planes is slightly inferior to that of my Multiverse, the overall difference is not significant."

"Moreover, if that Crystal Emperor's son Duomeng, can make a breakthrough in the Boundless Mountains and Seas, more and more Endless Planes Supreme planes will surely join his ranks."

That brings us to this.

The Supreme Jun sighed.

"Thousands of Supreme —that's underestimating the Endless Planes."

"With the resources of Endless Planes, the departure of these few hundred Supreme from the Eastern Region is merely a way to give the Boundless Mountains and Seas a breather."

"Besides."

"A battle of this scale is unlikely to change the course of the war unless one possesses the power of Celestial Emperor."

"And no matter how strong Yuliel is, he is not the Celestial Emperor; he cannot accomplish the feat of single-handedly conquering Endless Planes."

"However, we cannot allow the people of the Eastern Region to fight amongst themselves. We must unify the Central Region as soon as possible, then wage war in all directions, integrate the power of the entire Multiverse, and then compete with the Endless Planes!"

"The Western Region, the Northern Domain, the Southern Region, the Divine Ruins, the Returning Wilderness, the Other Dimension, the Mirror Sea, and the Forest Domain are all targets for our future unification."

Empress Luan nodded coolly, then suddenly asked a question.

"Then, Father, what about the Eastern Region?"

"Don't touch the Eastern Region."

As if he could read her thoughts, the Supreme Jun smiled.

"Although my Jun Court may not possess the same grand ambition as Yuliel— to abandon everything within the Multiverse and embark on a perilous expedition across Boundless Mountains and Seas —we are still a dignified heir to the Holy Court!"

"I understand, Father."

A smile finally appeared on Empress Luan's face.

Within an unnamed universe in the Northern Domain.

Inside the deep palace.

After Jiang Yuu swore to go on his expedition and left the Multiverse, the mysterious Supreme with his eyes tightly closed suddenly revealed a smile.

"My prophecy is not wrong. Lord of Radiance, Winged God, has embarked on the most crucial path to becoming the Celestial Emperor."

"King Tu, you haven't chosen the wrong person."

"Celestial Emperor, your might extends to all directions; Lord of Heaven, your light shines upon the world."

A place of true "nothingness".

After leaving the Multiverse.

Jiang Yuu stood atop Paradise Mountain Paradise Mountain, feeling the boundless "nothingness" beyond.

He stretched out his fair hand, reaching forward, trying to touch this "nothingness," but he could feel nothing.

There was nothing at all; no Element, no matter, no spirit, nothing at all, not even a concept.

This is something that is incredibly contradictory to the environment of the Multiverse.

But it was precisely because nothing existed here, so clean and so empty, that Jiang Yuu, in this land of "nothingness," vaguely grasped a glimmer of insight into the "Path of the Celestial Emperor."

(I recently wrote a short story, haha. You can take a look when you have time. It's called "Nine Reincarnation, My Master Was Always Forced to Have Babies by Me." Thank you so much!)
