The vast Milky Way.
In this dazzling place, the Emperor Star's light was as dazzling as an emperor's. The Auxiliary Stars around it bowed their heads in worship, and the Nirvana Stars shone brightly against the Emperor Star's light.
However, among the millions of stars, there was one that seemed to want to break free of its fate. It continuously released its light, almost eclipsing the light of the surrounding stars. Even so, its light couldn't shake the Emperor Star in the slightest.
"Ugh."
In the garden, Zhou Wu, clad in purple robes, coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, as if he'd gone mad. His messy hair danced along with his divine power. His black hair had also turned snow-white at this moment.
He pushed against the ground with both hands, blood still flowing from his mouth.
His pitch-black eyes were filled with savagery. He clawed at the ground, scratching the granite he sat on.
"Why?!"
Sitting on the ground, Zhou Wu roared at the sky. Just now, among the millions of stars, the one that had tried its best to release light and replace the Emperor Star was Zhou Wu.
In the past few months, he'd secluded himself.
He didn't care about anything in the outside world. He'd focused on finding a way to transcend.
His efforts paid off!
During his seclusion, he'd truly comprehended something. If he wanted to take that step, he needed to become the Emperor Star among the millions of stars.
He'd originally been a person without a star. He'd only used some tricks to usurp the Emperor Star's celestial fate, which had belonged to the five elements.
In order to take that final step, he'd used a trick to snatch the celestial fate belonging to the Master of the Stars he'd recruited.
He'd used his starlight to replace the Emperor Star.
The result had been barely satisfactory.
Perhaps he had truly underestimated the existence of an Emperor Star. Even though Zhou Wu was giving it his all, even though his starlight had dimmed the stars around him, even though his radiance was so bright that even millions of stars couldn't ignore it, Zhou Wu had underestimated the existence of an Emperor Star.
But in the face of the Emperor Star, he was still just the light of a firefly.
No matter how much effort he put in, he couldn't compare to the Emperor Star's brilliance, which was supported by the four Auxiliary Stars.
He couldn't accept this!
He had the Emperor Celestial Fate, which proved that he was fated to become the ruler of the world. Why couldn't he become the Emperor Celestial? In the era of the Five Elements Great Emperor and Zhou Wu, the two of them had been the most dazzling figures in the Three Realms. He was no less dazzling than the Five Elements Great Emperor. Why had the Emperor Star not chosen him, but the Five Elements Great Emperor? After he usurped the Five Elements Great Emperor's celestial fate, why hadn't the Emperor Star taken pity on him?
To the other Star Lords!
"Why!!!"
Zhou Wu, who was in the garden, was constantly venting his anger. In an instant, the dignified garden had been destroyed beyond recognition.
The people of the God Emperor's Mansion could feel the ground trembling. Their hearts trembled, and their necks shrank back.
Actually, Zhou Wu's current cultivation level was enough for him to stand at the pinnacle of the Three Realms. Even if he didn't take the step of transcendence, there was no one in the Three Realms who could restrict his freedom.
However, everyone was ambitious. Furthermore, Zhou Wu's ambition was much greater than others.
"Damn it."
Gritting his teeth, Zhou Wu stood up from the ground. His eyes were filled with indifference as he looked at the devastation in the garden.
Was he really not destined to transcend?
Zhou Wu could not help but ask himself this in his heart. Suddenly, his brows furrowed. He gently lifted his leg and left the forest garden. When he reappeared, he was outside the garden's main gate.
"God Emperor."
There were three people standing guard outside the garden. One was the Divine Arbiter, and the other two were the patriarchs of the two factions he'd carefully cultivated.
Yuchi Kong and Huangfu Youming.
These two had previously been stationed on other Divine Mountains, but too many unforeseen events had occurred recently. For his own sake, Zhou Wu called the two patriarchs back to Heavenly God City. Their clans also returned to the Central Divine Mountain.
When the three of them saw the God Emperor, they bowed and greeted him. Although he was in a terrible state, none of them dared mention this matter.
That furious roar just now and the tremors in the ground told them that the God Emperor had failed his secluded cultivation.
No one dared to provoke him, so all they could do was wait for him to speak.
"The Transcendence tomb has already fallen," said the God Emperor.
"It has," said Huangfu Youming. "However, it didn't fall on the God, Yao, or Demon Realms. Instead, it fell on the lower planes."
"If it did, then why didn't you tell me?" Anger flashed through the God Emperor's eyes. "I told them not to disturb you." The Divine Arbiter stepped forward and cupped her hands. "Before you went into seclusion, you said that your seclusion was of great importance. I was afraid that they would distract you if they told you, so I didn't tell them. Instead, I waited here. If the God Emperor wishes to blame me, then.
Just blame it on this subordinate. "
"It's you …."
Zhou Wu looked at the Divine Arbiter with an indescribable expression for a long time. In the end, his angry expression relaxed, and he nodded, breathing heavily.
"I don't blame you, Divine Arbiter. You and I have been estranged lately, and your words are full of blame. No matter what you do, when have I ever blamed you? Forget it. Have the other Divine Mountains made any moves? "
"The emperors of the Divine Mountains have all left the God Realm," said Yuchi Kong. "Hmph, I didn't think they would be so greedy for transcendence." Zhou Wu snorted coolly. "That's perfect. If I can obtain some good fortune from the Transcendence tomb and break through to the Transcendence realm, those who disobeyed me won't be able to escape! The key to the tomb should be in the Emperor Star's hands.
Coincidentally, I'd like to meet the Emperor Star I've never met before. "
The Divine Arbiter and the others didn't speak. Zhou Wu cracked his neck.
"Is there any news from the Shamans?"
"Your subordinates don't know. The Shamans have always transcended the Three Realms," said Yuchi Kong. "I have no way of knowing what they're up to."
After receiving this answer, Zhou Wu stared at him for a long time before he smiled and said.
"Forget it. We'll see them when we get to the tomb. I believe those old fellows of the Shaman Tribe will definitely not ignore the mausoleum. "
Little did they know, at that very moment, in a certain wasteland.
It was like an ancient clan altar. Below the altar stood tens of thousands of clansmen dressed in animal skins. In the center of the altar, there were twelve seats.
With a strange crackle, a bonfire blazed at the center of the altar.
Twelve men and women suddenly appeared atop the chairs. They were humanoid, but not real people. Their appearance caused the clansmen beneath the altar to kneel.
"Greetings, Grand Shaman!"
