"Everyone, I've completely dispelled your heartforce control. If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave now. If you ever leave the Three Realms and head into the primordial chaos, feel free to come find me in my Blacklotus Divine Kingdom. I'll be sure to welcome you with open arms!"
After dispelling the heartforce control of Fuxi, Gonggong, and the others, Old Man Yuan cupped his fists and smiled at them. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief that he'd been able to resolve the karma that had threatened to take his life.
"Old Man Yuan, there's still the Seamless Gate! Don't tell me you don't have anyone in the Seamless Gate under your control!" Seeing that Old Man Yuan was about to leave, Lord Windfiend immediately blocked his path and called out loudly.
"Haha, the Seamless Gate has already been defeated. You no longer belong to the Three Realms. My oath didn't say anything about removing my control for you!"
Old Man Yuan naturally didn't want to offend Cheng Hao, but he didn't care about Lord Windfiend in the slightest. Although Windfiend was fast, he wasn't strong enough to do anything to Old Man Yuan.
"Mindlord, are you truly certain that you aren't willing to remove your control over the Seamless Gate?" Lord Windfiend laughed coldly as he looked at Old Man Yuan with a mocking gaze.
"What do you mean?" Old Man Yuan frowned.
"It doesn't matter how much the Seamless Gate and the Nüwa Alliance fought each other to the death. We are all part of the Three Realms. Although we've already been defeated, Emperor Haotian didn't say anything about banishing us from the Three Realms before you swore your oath. Thus, you can do as you see fit!"
As soon as Lord Windfiend finished speaking, Old Man Yuan's face tightened. He wasn't too willing to remove his control over the Seamless Gate. The Seamless Gate had a few Daofathers of decent power, after all, and they could serve as his hired thugs in the future.
"Forget it. If we're going to end this karma, then let's end it once and for all!" Old Man Demonheart sighed. He still wasn't willing to take this risk. If he failed to fulfill his oath, then he'd be in deep trouble.
With but a thought, an invisible heartforce enveloped the ten or so Daofathers of the Seamless Gate. Then, to their delight, he waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Oh, right!" Old Man Yuan, just about to leave, suddenly came to a halt, then turned to look at Patriarch Subhuti.
"Subhuti, let me give you one last piece of advice. Before you reach the World-level of power, don't go to the endless primordial chaos. Otherwise, if others discover that you have mastered the Dao of Spacetime, you will definitely suffer a terrible fate!"
Patriarch Subhuti nodded, then clasped his fists towards Old Man Yuan. He had long since lost all goodwill towards this Old Man Yuan. If it wasn't for the fact that Cheng Hao and Lin Xi's strength had exceeded Old Man Yuan's expectations, the Three Realms would probably have suffered a storm of blood that was even more terrifying than the previous calamity!
As Old Man Yuan's body slowly disappeared, Elder God Gonggong stamped his foot in displeasure, then turned to stare at Cheng Hao.
"Your Majesty, you're letting him go just like that?"
Cheng Hao nodded, then retracted his gaze, no longer paying any attention to Old Man Yuan.
"I'm a man of my word. Since I swore an oath to let him go, I naturally won't go back on my word!"
Old Man Yuan had committed a heinous crime in the original storyline, but thanks to Cheng Hao's existence, he had been hiding behind the scenes like a coward. He hadn't been able to cause much damage to the Three Realms, and so it was a good thing that he was able to resolve this matter like this. "Very well.
We'll do as you say, Your Majesty! " Daoist Three Purities and Lord Tathagata smiled and nodded. It had been the collective decision of the major powers of Nüwa's alliance to make peace with Old Man Yuan. Since they had already made their decision, they naturally couldn't change it.
"Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with the Seamless Gate?"
Patriarch Subhuti's face was dark as he stared at the members of the Seamless Gate. Old Man Yuan had controlled the lives and deaths of quite a few of them, and so they had been forced to make peace with him. Now, however, they had no intention of letting any of the members of the Seamless Gate off the hook.
"Your Majesty is benevolent. I'm sure you know as well that this calamity wasn't the intention of the Seamless Gate. It was a scheme concocted by the Lord of the Demonheart. Our Seamless Gate is a part of the Three Realms. I hope that Your Majesty will give us a chance to stay behind!"
Lord Windfiend's face was filled with bitterness. He didn't want to leave the Three Realms and wander the endless primordial chaos. There were simply far too many dangerous places in the primordial chaos, after all. The slightest mistake could result in the entire Seamless Gate being wiped out!
Cheng Hao was silent for a moment. He exchanged a glance with Lin Xi, then extended two fingers towards Lord Windfiend.
"I'll give you two choices!"
"One, leave the Three Realms and never return!"
"Two, I'm preparing to rebuild the Celestial Court and the Kingdom of the Underworld. If you wish to stay behind in the Seamless Gate, you must swear a lifeblood oath on the Oathstone. Swear that you'll never take a stand and that you'll guard the Kingdom of the Underworld for a hundred million years for the sake of the Three Realms!"
"You have two choices. Choose one!"
As soon as Cheng Hao spoke, the Lord of the Windfiend chose the second option without any hesitation. To them, as long as they could survive, as long as they did not leave the Three Realms, even if they had to guard the underworld for a hundred million years, it was an acceptable decision.
"Your Majesty is benevolent. We choose the second option. We're willing to guard the Kingdom of the Underworld for Your Majesty and the Three Realms. Let alone a hundred million years, as long as Your Majesty needs us, the Seamless Gate is willing to guard the Kingdom of the Underworld for all eternity!"
"Very good!"
Cheng Hao was quite satisfied with the Lord of the Windfiend's attitude. With the major powers of the Seamless Gate standing guard over the Netherworld Kingdom, the overall power of the Three Realms would rise significantly, and he would be able to acquire a significant amount of karmic luck as well.
Then, in the midst of the battlefield that had yet to completely calm down, the Seamless Gate's mighty figures swore lifeblood oaths that they would never start a war and would guard the Kingdom of the Underworld for a hundred million years!
After the mighty figures swore their lifeblood oaths, the tension between the two factions eased significantly.
"Your Majesty." Bodhi pointed at the corpses of the dead floating in the air. "We can't just let their corpses float here forever, can we?"
Cheng Hao nodded and pointed into the distance.
Whoosh ~
Black flames flew out and turned into Chaos Divine Fire. It instantly spread through the air and enveloped the corpses of the immortals and demons.
The raging flames burned and burned away all traces of the war. With that, the great calamity that affected the entire Three Realms came to an end!
.....
After this battle …
The Three Realms had lost many of its mighty figures, Empyrean Gods, and True Immortals. Their vitality had been greatly damaged, but this did lessen the burden on the Three Realms. So long as they could control the number of Immortals and Fiendgods properly, they would no longer have to worry about the Heavenly Dao triggering another great calamity.
As for Cheng Hao, Sanqing, Tathagata, and the other mighty figures, they had rebuilt the Celestial Court and established the cycle of reincarnation in the Underworld. A brand new era of the Three Realms had begun.
