Imperial God Emperor-Chapter 1314 - Dao System

Translator: Aran

"Wait a minute, what'll happen if I fuse with this body forcibly? Will I instantly die while my Dao disappears? Or..." Ye Qingyu hurriedly asked.

He wanted to know more details.

Ye Chongsheng answered, "I know what you mean. After fusing with this body, your inner demons of preoccupation won't instantly break out. For a short time, you'll obtain power beyond that of the world. Are you seeking to use it as a final trump card to fight during the final moment of life and death when the situation becomes dire?"

Ye Qingyu nodded.

This was indeed his plan. If ever the final moment arrived whereby everything he had prepared could not prevent the descent of the fiendgods from a different space-time, he would fuse with this body forcibly without stinting about the destruction of himself. No matter what, he would use his final power to make one last thrust.

"I hope that such a day never comes," Ye Chongsheng's voice gradually waned.

Ye Qingyu nodded his head gravely.

His gaze fell upon the body before him.

At this moment, it was no longer a simple body or even the supposed greatest collection of power and wisdom of the contemporary age in his eyes. Instead, it was a collection of the world's most brilliant and outstanding talents over the past ten million years, and a symbol of eternal spirit and belief.

Meanwhile, Ye Chongsheng's voice gradually disappeared.

After all, it was only a spiritual projection of Ye Chongsheng, and not his true form, that existed here. It was already a miracle that it continued to remain in this world after his incarnation died thousands of years ago. Back then, it was only for this moment today that his true form left this wisp of spirit behind to address a few doubts of the 108th and final incarnation, Ye Qingyu.

Now that its mission had been completed, it was time to leave.

Spiritual projections were innately a heaven-defying act. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

Ye Qingyu wanted to ask a few more questions, but gradually, Ye Chongsheng's voice disappeared completely.

At the same time, the lively aura on the body that was identical in appearance to the Divine Light Emperor gradually dissipated, while the body proceeded to the futon at the center of the hall and sat down quietly.

After it sat cross-legged, all of its glow gradually faded.

That was the glow brought about by the ball of silver flames from Ye Chongsheng's spiritual projection.

This implied that, for ten million years, Ye Chongsheng had completely changed this world single-handedly. He created the Dark Realm and the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss, opened up the epoch-shaking material wealth of the Ye clan's palace, and left behind supreme talents who were indescribably rich in spiritual civilization for this world. At this moment, he finally said goodbye to this world for good.

Among the Divine Light Emperor's 107 incarnations, Ye Chongsheng was undoubtedly number one in terms of greatness. Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could not compare to a person like this, while the peerless War God more so received Ye Chongsheng's benevolence.

To a certain degree, the incarnation of Ye Chongsheng was an epoch-making one. If the Divine Light Emperor's reincarnation plan ultimately saved this world, Ye Chongsheng's contributions would clearly be the greatest.

The body of the Divine Light Emperor gradually became quiet.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon and closing its eyes, it became much like a statue once more. Wearing a gentle expression on its face and a cotton gown on its body, it resembled an otherworldly master deep in meditation. Who could possibly imagine that this jade sculpture-like body would be hiding the world's greatest power and wisdom within?

Ye Qingyu bowed deeply toward this body.

He was saluting not only Ye Chongsheng, but also the previous 107 incarnations.

Saluting their successive struggles and contributions toward safeguarding the survival of this world's beings and civilizations at all costs.

The names of a few among them, such as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, were spread among this world. However, most of them, such as Ye Chongsheng, were already buried in the dust of history. Their contributions were unknown to the beings of this world, save for a few interested parties. This was not just true for the present but also the ensuing ten million years. Nobody remembered and honored them.

However, they probably never thought about these things during their struggles either. Given how arrogant and disdainful of worldly mortals they were, the memories of and recognition from later generations were not important to them. Instead, what was important to them was the fact that they had held up this world and struggled for the Dao in their hearts before.

After he was done saluting, Ye Qingyu thought for a moment and then fitted the body into his barren dantian world, placing it below the World Tree like he did for the divine parasol tree that had only a trace of vitality left.

He did not intend to fuse with this body treasure for the time being.

As tempting as the power within it was, fusing with it was dangerous. Besides, he felt that he needed to weigh the pros and cons first.

After doing all this, he carefully examined the strange three-room house once more. Realizing that there was nothing else special about it, he knew it was time to leave.

He had already obtained the greatest treasure and secret in the labyrinth.

According to the agreement between Ye Chongsheng and the Black Demon Race, the labyrinth would belong to the Black Demon Race henceforth.

Thanks to his amazing powers of memory, Ye Qingyu could clearly remember the path he came from, and so he had no worries about getting lost in the labyrinth.

Along the way out, he tried to take a look at the buildings at the end of several branches in the labyrinth, and realized that there were a few palaces that looked like armories of some sort.

This labyrinth did not have only one path, but had a main path connected to several small paths instead. There would be different rewards from entering different branches. To an imperial race like the Black Demon Race, everything stored in the labyrinth could absolutely be considered a tremendous fortune that was sufficient to be digested and unearthed by the talents of several generations.

These are probably things specially left behind by Ye Chongsheng for the Black Demon Race as repayment.

After all, the Fallen God Abyss in the 17th district and the setup in the 18th district have both received the support of the Black Demon Race.

Ye Qingyu did not walk fast.

Thirty minutes later, he walked out of the labyrinth.

The entire process had taken only several hours.

When he emerged, the contemporary Black Demon Emperor and a few members of the royalty were still waiting at the entrance of the labyrinth. The Emperor was somewhat shocked when he saw Ye Qingyu, for he clearly did not think that the latter would walk out so soon.

"I've resolved my matter."

Smiling, Ye Qingyu pointed at the giant stone key that remained inlaid on the doors of the labyrinth. "This key shall be returned to the Black Demon Race from now onwards."

The Black Demon Emperor became excited at once.

As the contemporary ruler of the Black Demon Race, he knew the value of this labyrinth more than anyone else. The Emperor of each generation had successively passed word down claiming that the labyrinth contained treasure troves that would turn imperial races red-eyed and insane. Obtaining the key would mean that this labyrinth would finally be opened to the Black Demon Race after all these years, and they could obtain the treasures within at last.

"Thank you so much, Great Emperor Ye Qingyu." The Black Demon Emperor saluted.

Ye Qingyu smiled and acknowledged, "You're welcome." With that, he looked at the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race, asking, "Are you still in touch with the Phoenix Race?"

The latter nodded without any hesitation.

Ye Qingyu thought for a while before continuing, "I'm thinking about visiting the Phoenix Race in a month's time. Are you willing to accompany me, Princess?"

"Alrighty." The princess became delighted. However, recalling the fate of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, her expression became somewhat emotional. As time passed, she had become much more mature than before, and was no longer obstinate and capricious.

"Great."

Ye Qingyu nodded.

The next moment, he disappeared on the spot.

Everyone of the Black Demon Race bowed to send him off.

Although they were an imperial race with deep foundations, they dared not be any neglectful toward a contemporary Martial Emperor.

Subsequently, the Black Demon Emperor eagerly arrived before the doors of the labyrinth. After some refinement, he gained a complete grasp of the stone key, which he could depend on to find every life gate within the labyrinth. After seeing the many palaces that stored fortunes, cultivation techniques, and Emperor weapons, he fully realized the true value of the labyrinth.

"Simply unbelievable. The fortunes in the labyrinth are enough for us to nurture several true contemporary Martial Emperors. These are absolutely epoch-shaking fortunes and treasures. Were they given to us by our earliest ancestors and Legend Ye Chongshen? They're even more amazing than I'd thought."

Exclaiming non-stop, the Black Demon Emperor was greatly excited.

After walking out of the labyrinth, he issued a successive set of orders. The matter on this day must absolutely not be spread. Now that the golden age of great prosperity had arrived, many expanses of wilderness emerged, many families became prosperous, and many imperial races glowed anew, making it an age of great competition as well. News of such supreme treasures would be better off not being spread, or the Black Demon Race might just become a common target of everyone else.

When he returned to the palace in Black Demon City, many senior leaders among the race came forth to report immediately.

"Your Highness, good news, good news have arrived..." A general from the military looked joyful as he reported. "The frontlines have sent word saying that several rebel groups have surrendered to us. At the same time, several external forces which have been fomenting trouble in the Black Demon Abyss recently have retreated without trace."

These days, there had been endless troubles in the Black Demon Abyss, and the status of the Black Demon Race had been shaken. In particular, a few hidden Quasi-emperor families had even tried to replace the Black Demon Race and seize this giant city. Following the spread of news that the Immortal God Emperor, Ye Qingyu, had arrived in the Black Demon Abyss and was on good terms with the Black Demon Race, all of the haze vanished in a flash.

The laughter of the Black Demon Emperor rang out in the palace.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingyu returned to the Heaven Wasteland Domain.

News was that the youths that had disappeared earlier, including Bai Yuanxing, had been sent back to the Vast Thousand Domains from the Unmoving City of Darkness. The empire had deployed a contingent to Heaven Connect City to receive them, and they could return to the Snow capital in a day's time.

This was fantastic news to the families of these youths.

As for Ye Qingyu, he needed to use this rare and short period of time to clean up and reorganize his own courtyard. By now, he had accepted a considerable number of disciples, and so he ought to rank them properly and pass his Dao system down.

At the same time, he decided on an important matter.
