Lin Yan raised his head and gazed up at the Bronze Gate.
"Senior Seven Star Sect, it's time for us to leave."
Saying those words, Lin Yan stepped down from the Heavenly Emperor's throne that he had been sitting on for ten thousand years.
Lin Yan flicked his finger, and a drop of blood gushed out of it.
This blood droplet contained an abundance of vitality.
By the time it landed on the ground, it had already transformed into another Lin Yan.
The Heavenly Emperor's fake then walked up to the Heavenly Emperor's throne before him and sat down.
Surprisingly, the fake had the same icy-cold look as the original Lin Yan's.
"Lin Yan, you don't have to do this. Wouldn't it be better to let them know you're missing? It's like a sharp sword hanging over their heads if they do something wrong after they take charge of the Heavenly Palace."
Looking at the fake Heavenly Emperor on the Heavenly Emperor's throne, the ancient artifact couldn't help but persuade Lin Yan.
Nevertheless, Lin Yan shook his head, "Forget it. If I don't die, they won't be at ease. Only when they kill this incarnation will the Heavenly Emperor cease to exist."
Saying that, he slowly turned around and walked out of Lingxiao Hall.
But when he left this hall, where he had been imprisoned for ten thousand years, step by step. The clothes on his body, bit by bit, also changed from the jade cloth and armor belonging to the Heavenly Emperor into a much simpler one.
Ten thousand years ago, this was how he walked into the hall.
Ten thousand years later, this was how he walked outside the hall.
Walking to the hall's door, Lin Yan couldn't help but glance back at the hall behind him.
The scene of the first time he entered this hall appeared again in this empty hall.
Many Heavenly Generals were looking at him with a smile.
The imposing former Heavenly Emperor was sitting on his throne with sharp eyes.
"Great General of Demon Subjugation, come quickly. We are all waiting for you." The Heavenly Generals greeted him with smiles.
A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yan's mouth, "Wait for me. I'll be right there."
Boom!
Slowly, the Lingxiao Hall's doors closed.
The era of the Heavenly Emperors was about to come to an end.
…
(On The Lingxuan Continent)
"Did you guys see? The one killed by Lin Feng and the others was just an incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor. An incarnation forged with his highness's blood droplet?"
"Haha, it's true that the Heavenly Emperor didn't die. I told you, didn’t I? How could the Heavenly Emperor die?"
"Don't get too excited just yet. The Heavenly Emperor is prepared to put his life at risk in order to close that Bronze Gate. I'm afraid his life and death are still unknown."
"No! The Heavenly Emperor must be alive."
As everyone watched the Heavenly Emperor's last act before disappearing, they broke down in tears.
...
Xiao Yanran, Xiao Mei, and others looked at the screen as Lin Yan's jade clothes and armor changed into simple coarse linen clothes.
It caused their hearts to pound faster.
As usual, Lin Yan was wearing simple coarse linen clothes. Almost nothing has changed since ten thousand years ago.
"Brother." Xiao Yanran cried out.
Tears welled up in Xiao Mei's eyes, she repeated over and over, "Husband, Husband..."
"Big Stone." The Demon Queen's body trembled slightly as she uttered his name.
…
(Within The Screen In The Sky)
Changing into simple coarse linen clothes, Lin Yan left the Heavenly Palace with Zhao Ling.
While Zhao Ling gazed at Lin Yan, her face was filled with joy.
After all, it had been ten thousand years since she had seen her Big Brother in such a manner.
Also, the current Big Brother didn't have the coldness and dominance that he possessed when he sat on the Heavenly Emperor's throne.
It was as if he had reverted to the past when they first met.
Lin Yan smiled at Zhao Ling and said, "Ling'er, I have been neglecting you all these years."
She waved her hand hurriedly and replied, "No, Big Brother...I will always follow you with pleasure."
Having said that, Zhao Ling added curiously, "Big brother, where are we going?"
The whole Lingxuan Continent hates the Heavenly Emperor and has turned against him.
Therefore, Zhao Ling was a bit concerned Lin Yan might leave the Heavenly Palace quietly.
With a smile, Lin Yan looked at Zhao Ling and said, "Today, let's just throw all our troublesome matters aside and take a casual walk."
Zhao Ling vigorously nodded her head despite not being able to guess Lin Yan's mind.
After all, this was something she had been looking forward to for quite some time.
Lin Yan led Zhao Ling and landed in a city full of mortals, and then purchased many incense and candles.
They were like mortals, carrying these scented candles and ascending a nearby hill.
The duo eventually halted in front of two tiny graves on the mountainside.
‘Grave of father Lin Zhengyuan; Grave of mother Zhao Wanxiu.’
‘Grave of father Xiao Feng; Grave of mother Qin."
Lin Yan then cleared the weeds around the tomb and kneeled. He then lit incense and paid respect to the deceased as a mortal would.
Seeing him acting like that, Zhao Ling was initially suspicious.
It was only then that she reacted, "Big brother, is this the tomb of your uncle and aunt?"
"It's just a tomb with their clothes and other belongings. …When I was very young, my family was struck by a great disaster …But, their bodies couldn't be recovered. So, I can only make two tombs with their clothes and other belongings here… I set up Uncle and Aunt Xiao's tomb for Yanran to pay respect. But I was afraid Yanran would be upset, so I never brought her here." Lin Yan replied in a flat tone.
Then he lit the incense paper money slowly in his hand and watched blankly as it burned out.
…
(On The Lingxuan continent)
Everyone looked frozen.
Who would expect the Heavenly Emperor to be like a mortal, carrying incense and paper money to pay respect to his deceased parents?
When Xiao Yanran and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but cry their eyes out again.
For the past ten thousand years, everyone knew that the Heavenly Emperor was invincible, cold, and heartless.
However, no one imagined that the seemingly invincible Heavenly Emperor, in the end, was still the orphan who lost both parents and everything at the age of five.
From the moment he lost both parents, he became a brother, a husband, a Heavenly General, and then the Heavenly Emperor.
Everyone had to rely on him.
But he never had anyone to rely on, not even someone to complain to.
He was all alone
Always.
Forever.
…
(Within The Screen In The Sky)
After Lin Yan took Zhao Ling and paid respects to his parents, he took her to the place where they lived in seclusion back then.
Ten thousand years had passed, and everything was already different.
But neither of them cared.
They talked about some interesting things while strolling aimlessly on this mountain, which was completely unfamiliar.
Unknowingly, the sun has sunk in the west, and the stars have risen.
Looking up at the sky, Lin Yan, who always had a smile, suddenly said, "Ling'er, when you have time in the future, can you help me to pay respect to my parents' clothes tomb."
Zhao Ling, who was still immersed in happiness, was somewhat puzzled but she subconsciously agreed, "Okay, let's go together."
"Good, we'll do it together." Lin Yan smiled and nodded his head.
Suddenly, however, Lin Yan’s body burst out with spiritual qi that contained the essence of the Eternal Realm.
This power instantly enveloped Zhao Ling.
In the process, Zhao Ling's consciousness gradually faded, and her body became transparent.
On the jade pendant at Lin Yan's waist, the figure of the Ancient Artifact emerged.
But when she examined Zhao Ling's current appearance, she frowned, "You're injecting her body with the Eternal Realm's qi. Of course, it has many benefits, but her body can't bear it. She will be forced to sleep for hundreds of years."
"A few hundred years will be enough. After a few hundred years, there will be no more Heavenly Emperor ... nor her Big Brother in this world."
Lin Yan continued to input power into Zhao Ling's body and eventually, his powers were transferred into her soul.
However, this caused Zhao Ling's body to also become like a remnant soul that could disperse at any time.
"Ling'er, go find Teng Gang. He will take care of you." Lin Yan moved closer to Zhao Ling and whispered in her ear.
Zhao Ling, who had already turned muddled, her figure slowly disappeared.
…
(On The Lingxuan Continent)
"So it's like this, Ling'er isn't really in the form of a remnant soul at all, but rather her body contains Big Brother's power."
Teng Gang's face was frozen.
Now he finally understood why only a single remnant soul of Zhao Ling had come over to him in the first place.
It was due to Zhao Ling’s situation, he decided to side with Lin Feng and the others to seek revenge.
Teng Gang's face paled as he remembered the scene from the beginning.
However, his gaze didn’t stray from the screen in the sky.
After all, he knew it would only be a matter of time before he knew the location of his Big Brother, the Heavenly Emperor.
…
Not only Teng Gang, but everyone on the Lingxuan Continent too.
As well, Xiao Yanran, Xiao Mei, Qian Linglong, the Demon Queen, and others were all like that at this time.
They stared fixedly at the screen in the sky.
Their first concern was to find out where the Heavenly Emperor was.
Is he alive or dead right now?
