The ancient heaven deity wasn't wrong. The most precious and scarce thing in this world was time, but the thing it lacked the least was time as well. Time would never stop flowing.
In the blink of an eye, it has already been two years since Qin Wentian entered Ancient Azure Mystic for the second time. During these two years, many things happened in the outside world. This was especially so for the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. There were countless things happening every day. However, all of them were merely a drop in the ocean, unable to reach the apex. Only this time around, the commotion of Ancient Azure Mystic's reappearance persisted for two years. Not only did it not subside, it actually grew increasingly intense.
Because there were many powers that entered Ancient Azure Mystic, news of this was transmitted to the upper world unceasingly. From the lower world, the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms learned that not only did Ancient Azure Mystic reappear, the remnant wills of a heavenly deity also appeared. One of the incomparably powerful heavenly deity races in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the Winged God Race, actually appeared in Ancient Azure Mystic and possessed the body of a descendant of the Winged God Race.
However, only the people of the Winged God Clan knew that the genius who was possessed had already fallen. Yu Feifan was dead.
This news was kept a secret, but they still sent even more experts to Azure Mystic. They had to bring the will of their ancestor back to the Winged God Race. This was a death order, and they had to do it at all costs.
That was their ancestor, a heavenly deity. Although he wasn't a living being and was only a strand of will, the memories he knew were extremely precious to the Winged God Race.
After the incident with the Winged God Race, some of the major powers from the Heavenly Deity Race who had once fought against Ancient Azure Mystic all sent out their armies. This time around, it wasn't like the small skirmishes of those pathfinders, it was a true army of empyreans. How powerful was the foundation of the ancient and powerful Heavenly Deity Race? It was so long that it was impossible to calculate the amount of time they had existed. As long as they still existed, what scale would they grow to after so many years? Some of the Deity Race even had a population of hundreds of millions, encompassing boundless territories. These were just the people within their race, their blood-related clansmen, followers, and servants.
Extremely strong characters were dispatched, personally escorting the experts of the clan across the Celestial Realms to the outskirts of Azure Mystic, sending them into Azure Mystic.
Hence, Azure Mystic became extremely lively. The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was no longer a secret. Many people heard of this news and many places also claimed that they had seen experts from the upper world. Hence, some ambitious people in Azure Mystic were filled with boundless yearning towards the upper world.
Qin Wentian naturally knew of the changes in the external world because Di Tian had always been guarding Heaven Empyrean City. The two of them were connected in their hearts and their insights could be shared as well. There was no need for both of them to enter Ancient Azure Mystic. It would be better for one of them to protect Ancient Azure Mystic in the dark. After all, his original self, Qin Wentian, brought away all the experts from Azure Mystic. There was no need for Di Tian to stay behind.
Luckily, these people from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms had their sights set on Ancient Azure Mystic. They basically had no interest in this weak Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Although some unhappy things happened, they were all small-scale disturbances. This was something unavoidable. After the vast majority of people arrived, they immediately headed to the forbidden grounds.
However today, two years later, Qin Wentian and his group were still rushing their way. Naturally, they weren't purely rushing their way, they would stop occasionally.
For example at this moment, in a desolate land, Qin Wentian stood on the peak of an ancient mountain and stared at a beautiful figure sitting cross-legged in front of him. This figure was none other than Princess Kitamura. Before her, there were many zombies moving about, guarding this area. These zombies had lifeless eyes but they would occasionally flash with a bright light, appearing extremely bizarre.
"Hu …" Drawing in a deep breath, Princess Kitamura stopped. Her beautiful eyes opened as she stared at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's silhouette flashed as he appeared beside Princess Kitamura. He then asked in a light voice, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. However, the consumption of this tempering method is too great. Given the strength of my soul now, although I can freely control the zombies, it's extremely strenuous to make them listen to my commands. This is especially so for the empyrean zombies. The burden on my soul is extremely great." Princess Kitamura spoke in a light voice.
Qin Wentian nodded, he could understand. After all, Princess Kitamura was only at the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm. She, who cultivated the Death Scripture, could freely control zombies that had no self-consciousness. But if she wanted to control them to unleash their combat prowess, the burden on Princess Kitamura would be too great. Right now, she could only control a small number of empyreans. Once there were too many empyreans, the burden on her soul would increase exponentially and her soul wouldn't be able to endure it.
Also, during the process of controlling the zombies, she mustn't be distracted. This meant that she wouldn't be able to fight freely. It was best for her to stay there quietly. To her main body, this was an extremely dangerous matter. However, it could also be resolved by controlling the zombies to protect her. At the very least, she wouldn't be seen through by others and wouldn't let others know that she was the one controlling the zombies.
This was also the reason why Qin Wentian and Princess Kitamura were here alone. Even Princess Kitamura's father, the Darknorth Immortal Emperor, didn't tell him the truth.
This was related to the inheritance of the Imperishable Heaven Lord of Ancient Azure Mystic. He naturally had to keep it a secret. Once the slightest news leaked out, he and Princess Kitamura would become the targets of countless hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. In fact, even the Heavenly Deity Race would be among them. If that was the case, they wouldn't even know how they died.
"Do your best to control the zombies and increase your proficiency in controlling them. By doing so, your resistance will grow stronger and stronger." Qin Wentian spoke. These weren't his words, they were the words the ancient heavenly deity's will in his mind wanted to say. He was merely conveying the will of the ancient heavenly deity.
"Right." Beiming Huang nodded. "Senior has already reminded me many times. Along the way, I've been controlling the zombies to accompany us."
Qin Wentian laughed involuntarily, "Let's return."
"Mhm." Beiming Huang nodded. Qin Wentian's spatial energy enveloped her and the two of them instantly left, regrouping with the others a moment later. The Darknorth Immortal Emperor had a meaningful look on his face when he saw the two of them coming over. Sometimes, he was thinking about the relationship between the Heaven Empyrean Qin Wentian and his daughter, Princess Kitamura, exactly? The two of them must have gone out alone quite a few times.
Many people also smiled as they glanced at the Darknorth Immortal Emperor. If Princess Kitamura was able to form a relationship with the Heaven Empyrean, the status of the Darknorth Immortal Emperor would be no different from the Changqing The Great. However, with both the Changqing The Great and Qing Er around, no one would be foolish enough to mention this.
Qin Wentian didn't say anything. He walked to the side of Qing Er and held her hand. The others might not know but Qing Er understood. He would often go out alone with Princess Kitamura in front of Qing Er. If he hid this from Qing Er, what would this mean? It would be too disrespectful to Qing Er. There were no secrets between them.
Qing Er's expression didn't change at all. Her master had also hinted to her once before and she was somewhat speechless. If Qin Wentian really wanted to marry, she wouldn't say anything. In addition, she knew the reason and also knew that the two of them had experienced many things together in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
The group of them continued on their journey, encountering many troubles along the way. Some of the zombies had extremely strong killing intents. Even if they were already dead, they wouldn't forget to kill when they saw people. However, Qin Wentian never tangled with them. Also, with the ancient heavenly deity's will and Beiming Huang around, there wasn't much delay.
Finally, another half a year passed and they arrived at their destination, the sky city.
This was the center of Ancient Azure Mystic, the most flourishing place. One could imagine how majestic the sky city must have been in the past. But now, Qin Wentian and the others arrived below the city. They inclined their heads and stared upwards, only to see a vast expanse of desolation that stretched as far as the eyes could see.
The sky city, as the name implied, was a city that stood in the sky. This was a city that rose from flat ground and was tens of thousands of meters tall. At the entrance of the city, there was a flight of stairs that was tens of thousands of meters tall. Only by ascending the stairs would one be able to enter the city. From the broken and majestic stairway, one could imagine how majestic it must have been in ancient times. But even so, the flight of stairs was broken and the city gate collapsed. Everything was in ruins, desolation, and deathly silence. Under the dark sun, everything seemed to have withered away, causing everyone to truly feel the scene of the apocalypse.
They ascended the city step by step and continued forward. From the dilapidated walls, they could faintly see the majesty of ancient times. The number of zombies in this city grew even more. All of them seemed to be filled with an incomparable longing for the place they protected when they were alive. Sadly, they were powerless to protect it.
Qin Wentian saw an extremely powerful zombie hugging a tiny infant. He didn't move at all, as though he couldn't bear to put the infant down. When he was alive, he wasn't able to protect his child.
He also saw an iron-towering giant wielding a terrifying divine weapon. He stood in front of a stretch of ruins, resembling a divinity. However, his eyes were empty and lifeless. The things he once protected, were no longer there.
These scenes impacted the hearts of everyone, causing them to involuntarily feel sorrow. This was war, cruel and cold-blooded. Also, this was a world-ending war. Those heavenly deities who came here to fight, what were the lives of the people in their eyes?
At this moment, a figure sped over. This was a giant that was over 10,000 meters tall. However, he didn't have a head as it was chopped off by someone. It was extremely terrifying. He stared at everyone and it was unknown where his voice originated from. "Where did you guys come from?"
He lifted a terrifying great axe in his hand. In an instant, a stifling pressure enveloped this entire space. If he cleaved down with his axe, it would be sufficient to destroy everything.
"I brought them here." A voice rang out from within Qin Wentian's body.
"Who are you?" That giant's voice rang out once more.
"This body should be the body of Futian Battle God when he was alive. I didn't expect that his head would be chopped off. Sir, are you the will of Futian Battle God or the will of others?" A Shadow flew out from the center of Qin Wentian's brow, condensing into a human figure.
"Skybreak Heavenly Deity." The voice of the other party fluctuated. "I didn't expect that your will would still exist and you were actually willing to leave this place. I am none other than Futian. Where did these people come from? The Skybreak Heavenly Deity actually abandoned this place and brought them here."
"Because, the prophecy of the Heaven Lord is about to be fulfilled. Hence, I'm here." The Skybreak Heavenly Deity spoke.
The gigantic body of Futian Battle God trembled. After that, a solemn voice that seemed to originate from the primordial era rang out, "When the undying returns, Azure Mystic will reappear, bringing chaos to the thirty-three heavens."
