Chapter 705: The Oath with Dream Princess

"Divine Monarch, what are you waiting for! Why don’t you defeat her immediately? The Earthly Branch Cave will clearly reach its peak in the twelfth second!"

Someone shouted out in fear!

This was the voice of the crowd!

Everyone was astonished!

The cultivators of Zixue Academy felt the same; they originally had great confidence in the Divine Monarch, believing that even if Tiankai possessed the status of the king of the Manifest Realm, she still might not win.

However, the situation had clearly grown serious, as even the Great Annihilation was forcibly halted by the Earthly Branch Cave. If Divine Monarch does not act now, when will he?

"My lord…"

The Spirit Law conversation required almost no time, but Gong Haili fell silent, focusing entirely on watching these last few seconds!

For the cultivators who concentrated fully, twelve seconds felt extremely long and tormenting; they didn’t want to see defeat!

Yet both the Divine Monarch and Tiankai remained calm, merely waiting for the final second as time flowed away slowly.

They even had time to continue their unfinished conversation, but this time Shui Changdong sensed something.

"The human race has already lost the protection of the True Immortal and is not guaranteed to win; this should be clear to you, my lord. Why do you still have confidence?"

"The technology and bloodline accumulated by the human race are indeed strong, but for a million years, the demon race has also been growing continuously by utilizing the Heavenly Path, and there are unbeatable supreme beings among them."

"Once they emerge, even if you hand over the Heavenly Stem Cave to the Divine Empress, can that truly suppress everything? The multiverse era is not necessarily upon us!"

Tiankai’s tone grew colder, yet she still used respectful titles.

"Divine Empress… Wuge?"

Shui Changdong expressed surprise.

Tiankai did not answer, but her spiritual waves confirmed it.

This brought a smile to Shui Changdong’s face; it seemed that Wuge could accompany him to the end, unaffected by the passage of time.

Handing the Heavenly Stem Cave over to Shui Wuge would lift the influence it had imposed on her.

In this stage, Shui Wuge’s thoughts would no longer be forcibly constrained; she could do what she wished, and the Heavenly Stem Cave could not interfere.

If he were to feel uneasy about the future, he would not make such a decision, for this was about the order and peace of the entire realm.

He could not be careless.

The Ten Heavenly Arts and the Nine Lives Spirit Law were in motion, exploring various possibilities. He saw countless fragments of information flying about, gaining insight into parts of the future.

These futures were fragmented; although, with the wisdom he gained after Opening Heaven and Earth, he could roughly understand them, there would still be discrepancies.

Thus, he shook his head.

"This question is too advanced for me. I simply believe in the future of the human race and in my ability; that’s all."

As a reincarnator, he could strive towards the ultimate outcome. Limiting the True Immortal was the immediate task; he could not address every detail.

Currently, he did not even know the true powers of both the Honored Position and the king of the Manifest Realm. Everything was based on speculation, let alone the unknown demon supremacy?

"Ah, I see. It seems that everything in the future is not decided from the very beginning…"

Tiankai slightly nodded.

It is indeed surprising that just stepping out from a remote area could lead to thoughts about twenty thousand years in the future; how strange is that?

The Divine Empress also mentioned that the opening of the multiverse era was a coincidence. The Divine Monarch once investigated an organization called Divine Fate, but only wiped out their traces in the Red Heaven realm, without completely destroying them.

During the cleanup of this organization, they acquired important technology that allowed the cave heavens to combine with fragments of Red Heaven’s history, developing into parallel worlds.

From then on, the multiverse era began, using parallel worlds as a springboard.

Originally, the Divine Monarch had planned that the Heavenly Stem Cave would be constantly depleted of power by the True Immortals, ultimately collapsing along with the fall of the Divine Empress.

However, the future took an entirely opposite turn.

The Heavenly Stem Cave devoured the multiverse, growing at high speed once again, completely suppressing all enemies, to the point that the Divine Empress had new ideas.

Previously, they might not have had the strength to achieve their ambitions: to completely erase all crises and eliminate all enemies!

Yes.

Back then, the Divine Monarch believed his power was not perfect.

Perhaps from the perspective of general cultivators, the Divine Monarch seemed powerful and unbeatable; even the celestial clans could not contend with him, but that was only on the surface.

During the final battle, many celestial clans did not exert their full strength.

The Nizi clan could not utilize the Dao Classics, and the other celestial clans were cautious, not participating too much, until the Holy Path was achieved and the rules were modified. Even then, the Divine Monarch still could not contend fully with many celestial clans; they could seal the Celestial Realm, cutting off outside entrances, and completely disappear from the Red Heaven realm.

If not for the significant reduction in the influence of True Immortals after the rule modification, and the Moon Celestial Clan offering the Heavenly Crown Artifact to assist the Celestial Empire, Yun Ye would likely need to wait many more years to fulfill his second wish and achieve the Dao.

In this lifetime, Yun Ye was born in the Qing Clan, gaining a deeper understanding of the strength of the celestial clans. The Qing Clan’s foundation was surprisingly remarkable.

Even though they had once been severed by Mystic Heaven, after hundreds of thousands of years, they still gave birth to several unbeatable elders, which was simply astonishing for cultivators in the Red Heaven realm!

To be called an unbeatable elder means having strength comparable to the human Emperor, possessing the ability to suppress the world, far beyond what Ni Xin Guang could compare to.

Although Ni Xin Guang could also battle the human Emperor, she was still young, born during the era of the Water Emperor, and her cultivation had not yet reached its true peak.

In the special time and space of the Celestial Realm, cultivators could somewhat evade the span of heaven laws, creating an effect similar to the "Marginal Universes."

For instance, Qing Kong was actually over one hundred thousand years old, ancient enough to instill awe, and she mastered countless secret techniques, being the strongest of the Qing Clan.

One Ni Xin Guang made Yun Ye unleash all his tactics, deploying the Great Annihilation method and the Tomorrow Dao Weapon, a great killing tool. If Qing Kong were to confront True Realm Shui Changdong, the outcome would still be uncertain.

They had spent an incredibly long time practicing various techniques, accumulating unrivaled power through Dao Law. If one day they could suddenly manipulate the Dao Classics, it could pose a threat to the Master of Heaven’s Cavern, similar to how the Water Emperor once confronted the Heavenly Emperor. If a few more existences of the same level appeared, what would the result be?

With the celestial clans possessing such strength, the demons could not be far behind, or else the living space for humans would be impossibly small.

After all.

Every cultivator needed to consume vast resources.

Qing Kong’s level required even more, and if she wanted to move forward, she would need enough resources to support many powerful cultivators. Where would these resources come from?

A large number of Super Forbidden Places and life-free zones existed. The newly crowned Yun Ye also shook his head, choosing not to act rashly to avoid disaster. He opted to differentiate between demons and True Spirits, subtly weakening the possible resistance of demons.

Then, as the Celestial Empire moved toward the multiverse era, they truly began to possess the strength to suppress everything. At this time, their ideas could potentially turn into reality.

However, unfortunately, the Dream Princess’s vow was recorded by the Dao Artifact, preventing Yun Ye, Shui Wuge, or anyone else from actively declaring war on the True Spirits.

The Dao Artifact would show no mercy for violating vows.

“Dong!”

Two bells rang out simultaneously, with the beams of light in the Earthly Branch Cave forming a complete circle. At that moment, Shui Changdong and Tiankai moved together.

Tiankai stood at the center of the twelve beams of light, lifting her lotus arm to perform the spell, as three hundred sixty beams of light covered the twelve beams!

The twelve beams containing vast power from the opening of Heaven and Earth began to twist, revolving around Tiankai, releasing the power to erase everything.

Just a thread of energy crushed the void, creating an area of chaos where no life could exist, completely erasing the interference from the Heavenly Stem Cave.

The scale of this energy far exceeded that of the initially opened Heavenly Stem Cave, and even with just one strike, it would undoubtedly be unstoppable in breaking through the Heavenly Stem Cave.
