Chapter 1433: Chapter 507: Origin Mother River, True Saint Perfection (Part 2)

In the ripples that spread layer upon layer, Luo Xuan saw figures frozen in this river, belonging to the past.

They stood like they were in static time, awaiting the summon of the master of the Investiture of the Gods.

Doumu Yuanjun held the seal aloft in her hand, and under the infusion of divine power, the illusory river suddenly solidified, bursting with the colors of life, as countless heavenly soldiers and generals, along with Star Monarch Divine Generals, opened their eyes at this moment, as if they had directly arrived in the current world from a hundred epochs ago!

The Star Lord gazed intently, suddenly speaking: 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Stop."

The suspended seal abruptly fell into Doumu Yuanjun’s palm, and her aura also began to decline sharply, causing even the endless stars around her to dim for a moment.

"It’s too forced." The Star Lord shook his head, "Don’t take risks. Emperor Yi might be lurking in the shadows."

Doumu Yuanjun flipped her palm to stow away the seal, snorting coldly, "If he dares to openly stand in front of me, I’d be more than happy to welcome him."

The Star Lord mused, "To quickly restore the Investiture of the Gods, there’s another way—the Investiture of the Gods is intertwined with the incense and qi fortune of the Ten Thousand Realms. Its initial function was to maintain the order of the new epoch, the Dao rules of the Sea of Realms..."

After a pause, the Star Lord directly stated, "It was initially the manifestation of the Divine Dao!"

Doumu Yuanjun nodded, "I understand your meaning, but revitalizing the Divine Dao takes time. We don’t yet have the capability to go to war with all the Transcendence Gates of the Sea of Realms."

"There’s no need to be enemies with everyone." The Star Lord shook his head, "It’s nothing more than forming alliances, pulling some in, and suppressing others."

Doumu Yuanjun said indifferently, "I know, I’ve already made some preparations in advance."

The Star Lord looked at Luo Xuan behind her, "Is it this one? Leave him to me. I’ve heard you’ve also roped in that World Venerable rumoured to be from a hundred epochs ago, why not leave him to me too? I’m somewhat curious if he might be an old acquaintance of ours."

Doumu Yuanjun replied, "You can have Luo Xuan, but I have other plans for the World Venerable. You’d better not interfere; in the future, he will likely stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

The Star Lord’s brow furrowed once more, speaking solemnly, "Do you know the implications of those words?"

Doumu Yuanjun suddenly turned to look coldly, her majestic and profound aura erupting:

"Of course, I know. Who understands it better than I in this Heavenly Court now? Do not question my decision."

"And, you should address me as ’Heavenly Emperor’."

The Star Lord

The Star Lord looked deeply at this former colleague, now seated high on the imperial throne as the Heavenly Emperor, ultimately choosing silence.

And looking at Luo Xuan, who seemed to be caught in the dispute, thought to himself, indeed.

This Heavenly Emperor had long decided to push that person onto the Divine Throne of the Five Directions Emperor.

According to what he knew over the years, the god positions and duties on the Investiture of the Gods had fixed numbers, corresponding to some foundational rule of the Sea of Realms.

Thus, every divine position signified a certain authority of the Sea of Realms.

This is also why the Investiture of the Gods in the Heavenly Court can easily elevate an ordinary being to a high position.

In some sense, the divine positions on the Investiture of the Gods are nearly equivalent to the "God" of the Sea of Realms!

And the Five Directions and Five Emperors, far above the three hundred and sixty-five True Gods and eighty-four thousand Assistant Gods!

Luo Xuan suspected that these Five Directions Emperor Positions could even allow an ordinary person to step into heaven and become a being comparable to transcendence...

In the end, the Star Lord chose to compromise, shaking his head, "I hope your decision is the right one."

Doumu Yuanjun’s lips curled into a faint, enigmatic smile, "One day, you will understand my decision today."

The Star Lord suddenly asked, "That one in the Netherworld Soil, are you also preparing to grant him an emperor position?"

Doumu Yuanjun shook her head, "With Jing Qiu in control, Ksitigarbha naturally falls into our grasp, no need to offer extra incentives."

The Star Lord suddenly said, "If Jing Qiu truly is our old acquaintance from the Daluo Heaven, he may not feel indebted to you."

Doumu Yuanjun immediately laughed coldly:

"I elevate him to the Divine Throne, grant him the supreme authority of the Sea of Realms, making him one of the five most revered in this realm, how could he not be indebted to me."

"Do you think everyone is as heartless as Emperor Yi?"

"Back then, when we supported him to ascend the emperor position, he would not even concede a Five Directions Emperor Position to us. From then on, I saw through him and will absolutely not become another him!"

The Star Lord did not comment, losing the heart for further debate with her.

The Star Lord said no more, knowing the futility of argument.

If that person really is those people, being bound by the Divine Dao Emperor Position, whether it is a boon or a new feud remains unknown.

The step into heaven via the Divine Dao, for those people, is not a promising future, but rather cutting off their path!

The Star Lord gave up the notion of debating with Doumu Yuanjun, turning to Luo Xuan, speaking mildly:

"Come with me."

Immediately, he turned and departed directly.

Doumu Yuanjun slowly raised her head, her gaze seemingly piercing through the endless time and space, falling upon the Netherworld.

To completely restore the connection of the Investiture of the Gods with the Origin River, there is another way, which is to obtain the Dao Fruit of this Netherworld Lord.

The reason why the rivers of time and destiny refined and reshaped by this person are so unique, with each being equivalent to a Transcendent Divine Weapon, is because these two rivers already possess the attributes of the initial Mother River!

"Where is my World Venerate Ji—"

Doumu Yuanjun lowly chuckled, looking up as if the stars from all the heavens of this Sea of Realms could become her eyes, observing the world through the Group Stars, assuring none could escape her gaze.

"Hmm?"

Seeing now where Jing Qiu resides, Doumu Yuanjun seemed to witness something extremely interesting, a smile of boundless depth curving at her lips.

"Such a pure divine clone, how can it be so easily squandered? It’s utterly wasteful."

Emperor Heaven Nine States, Yanfu State, Buddha Country.
