Chapter 1516: Chapter 73 The Curtain Falls (Remaining 4/7)_2

As he spoke, he raised a hand gently toward Guiwang Mountain, and a hairpin fell into his hand. It was the very hairpin with which the future Thai Zu severed all memories of Su He from the heavens.

“Senior Brother!” The Tao Master handed the hairpin to the Tian Emperor.

In the hierarchy of elders and younger members, it was indeed the Tian Emperor who should wield the teacher’s hairpin.

But the Tian Emperor slightly shook his head: “You do it, I can’t anymore.”

The Tao Master was taken aback. Even though the Tian Emperor was severely injured, he was far from being unable to control the hairpin!

Startled, he saw the Tian Emperor smile as he took a step forward, his Divine God Soul stepping out of his body, then he turned around and pointed at his own forehead.

With a gentle touch, his entire flesh body melted away, transforming into a beam of light that coalesced between his fingers.

It became a pure golden fruit!

It looked like a sweet date.

Demonic Fruit!

The Tian Emperor turned back to look at the cosmic beasts in the Star Sea, his voice deep: “Everyone, the Demon Venerable has perished, and the demon clan is severed. Henceforth, the world will have no demon clan.”

The atmosphere, which had just risen a bit in relief, suddenly dropped, sinking to the bottom!

The demon clan…

If the human race counts as one clan, and the Yuan Sovereign counts as another, then the demon clan was the third largest clan of all heavens.

Anyone who cultivates, who doesn’t have one or two demon clan friends?

Be them friends, or foes!

As the Tian Emperor spoke, he bowed to all heavens.

“The path of heritage has come from ancient times, with relentless hardships. Especially for the Divine God Beasts, it’s extremely difficult to propagate offspring. But Divine God Beasts are the earliest living creatures in this realm and are favored by the world. Today, I dare to ask if you might share a thread of heritage Tao Rhythm with the demon clan?”

Demons and Divine God Beasts are so similar, both originating from beasts, yet diverging onto different paths.

But at the root, there is a thread of connection.

As the Tian Emperor spoke, everyone fell into confusion, not knowing his intent.

“Roar!” A Black Dragon coiled, questioning the Tian Emperor: “Your Majesty, speak openly. Can the Demon Venerable be resurrected?”

The Tian Emperor shook his head: “Reversing life and death, I cannot do it, nor has Yuan ever accomplished it. However, I have a method to leave a trace of incense for the demon clan.”

Although disappointed, the Black Dragon’s eyes lit up upon hearing the latter part: “Your Majesty, just say it, if the Dragon clan can accomplish it, we will exert full effort!”

“The Kylin as well!”

“Fu Zhu will follow!”

“Bifang has no objection!”

Voices rang out one after another.

The Tian Emperor smiled briefly, then straightened his expression: “Thank you all, please have each family’s ancestor bind your heritage to this fruit, and use the beast intents to stimulate this fruit. In the future, this fruit will fall on all heavens, and any beast that consumes this fruit may either attest to becoming a Divine God Beast or choose the demon path!”

The cosmic beasts did not speak, instead turning their heads to look outward.

There were Tengu shivering, not daring to move, these were Divine God Beasts that had long since joined the Yuan Sovereign clan.

Binding heritage wasn’t a problem for them, but would these Divine God Beasts who joined the Yuan Sovereign clan be willing?

The Tian Emperor was silent for a moment, looking at those Divine God Beasts as he spoke: “Leave your heritage today, activate this fruit, this time I won’t obliterate you!”

Seemingly afraid the Tian Emperor might retract his decision, a Tengu immediately responded: “Alright!”

Opening its mouth, a round moon-like light shot toward the Demonic Fruit in the Tian Emperor’s hand.

The Tian Emperor tapped the Demonic Fruit, and the fruit swallowed the round moon.

“You all may leave now!” The Tian Emperor waved his hand, and several cowardly dogs screamed in misery as they were thrown out of the Star Sea.

Tengu and Houdou had canine origins; without them to activate, no future canine could ever become a demon.

Compared to this, letting a few Tengu go was negligible.

They were ones that could be killed with ease!

“Hey, hey! Don’t be so casual! Old man, cut off their memories!” Baiyin shouted. The old Tian Emperor said to let them go, but she still needed to erase their memories of the Yuan Sovereign clan and Yuan Sovereign Immortal!

No matter what, Tengu are Divine God Beasts, long-lived and undead. With memories in their minds about Yuan and the Yuan Sovereign clan, it’s possible a being might transcend Samsara and return by borrowing this.

The Tao Master smiled, his hand holding the hairpin pointed forward, and several cries echoed across the starry sky. Several clusters of starlight flew back and were thrown into the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace by the Tao Master with a reverse hand.

With the Tengu as a precedent, celestial anomalies soared toward the fruit in front of the Tian Emperor from the Star Sea.

The galloping white deer, the flying one-legged birds, the howling Grey Wolves upon the moon…

Even the Little Grand Ancestor pointed out a Turtle Shell flying towards the fruit.

Tai Zu bore the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace, so by holding their own heritage they could accomplish this.

Su He was silent for a moment, turning his body into a White Tiger, opening his mouth to send a battlefield illusion toward the Demonic Fruit.

For now, among all heavens, he was the only tiger type Divine God Beast, if he didn’t make a move, even Tiger Demons would face extinction.

In an instant, that Demonic Fruit began to glow with a golden light, becoming the supreme treasure of the world.

The Tian Emperor slightly bowed again: “Thank you, everyone!”

The Divine God Beasts roared, but dared not accept his gratitude.

The Tian Emperor held the Demonic Fruit in his hand and stepped forward into the Mystery Yellow Big World, standing before the towering Willow Tree, looking at the Willow Tree, he tidied his garments and bowed deeply.

Only after three bows did he rise.

“Sorry, fellow Daoist, I can gather the beast intent of All Heavens, but can no longer gather the rhythm of mountains and waters, the essence of grass and trees. Today, I will first ensure the Demon Clan’s heritage remains unbroken! As for the rest, I leave it to little junior brother…”

The rhythm of mountains and trees needs to be obtained from mountain demons and tree spirits. But now, they cannot be found.

Su He could reverse the flow, perhaps having the opportunity to return to an even older era, to steal grass, trees, mountains, and rivers.

As he spoke, he pressed the Demonic Fruit in his hand against the Willow Tree.

As soon as the fruit touched the Willow Tree, it instantly merged into it, causing the whole Willow Tree to glow brilliantly.

The Tian Emperor gave the Willow Tree a gentle pat, and the massive Willow Tree drew a ray of light and shot toward the entrance of the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, slipping right inside.

This Willow Tree is connected to the reproduction of the Demon Clan and Divine God Beasts, naturally, nothing must go wrong.

The Willow Tree rushed into the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky and disappeared without a trace.

The Tian Emperor turned around, adjusting his demeanor: “In my name, I permit the fellow Daoist to penetrate All Heavens, and let the fruit of the fellow Daoist fall upon All Heavens!”

As he spoke, his voice suddenly grew louder, echoing across the fields: “From today, every sexagenary cycle, the Demonic Fruit will fall, and any beast can compete for it, others shall not interfere. Otherwise, heaven and earth will abandon them!”

Each beast can become a demon through its own opportunity, others are forbidden from interfering.

As the Tian Emperor spoke, laws were forming across this heaven and earth, with imperial words dictating the laws, the Tian Emperor’s words became law naturally!

At the same time as the Tian Emperor spoke these words, a Phoenix cry reverberated throughout all heavens.

Even heaven and earth acknowledged these words.

The Tian Emperor turned and left, but did not return to the Star Sea, only leaving behind a message: “Junior brother, the Demon Venerable’s body, the matter of the Demonic Fruit, completely erase everyone’s memory, so no one dwells on it.”

The fruit was based on the Tian Emperor’s broken flesh body and bore the heritage marks of all the Divine God Beasts; it’s unknown how many shady characters would wish to possess it.

This time, united efforts prevailed, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t those timid, retreating, or taking the opportunity to entertain other thoughts.

As the Tian Emperor, having seen all sorts of beings, he doesn’t assume the worst nor presume the best of people.

It’s never wrong to be cautious.

The Tao Master hovered in the air, pointing forward with the Tao Ancestor Hairpin, with each point thrusting various memories, stories into the Evil-suppressing Tao Palace.

The Tao Master cannot seal the memories of All Heavens and Myriad Realms at once like Thai Zu; Yuan and the Yuan Sovereign Clan are not the feats of Su He’s few years.

It’s unknown how long it will take to implement storing these memories.

“Everyone, return to Mystery Yellow, restore the world, and rebuild your homeland!” The Tao Master’s voice floated out ethereally.

Immortal Sovereigns took their battered troops back from the Star Sea, entering Mystery Yellow to rebuild the world.

Su He looked at the seated body of his past life, staring at the motionless Thai Zu before the corpse.

Feeling oppressed, even as he transformed into the White Tiger state, stepping towards the sky, returning to the Evil-suppressing Tao Palace.

Baiyin flitted like a spirit within the Evil-suppressing Tao Palace, while the dome of the palace was covered in stars, which had already formed a starry sky, having sealed countless secrets.

Outside the Evil-suppressing Tao Palace, Sword Mountain floated, and Tan Tai stood unmoving on Sword Mountain. Su He leaped to her side, and the gigantic White Tiger athletely lay down gently.

Tan Tai’s tense body slowly leaned against his.

A warmth arose, only by staying beside Baiyin and Tan Tai, did the heaviness in his heart ease slightly.

Su He extended a tiger paw encircling Tan Tai in an embrace, holding her tightly.

Tan Tai slowly closed her eyes, her chaotic breath gradually calming down.

Su He had been busy aimlessly, but Tan Tai had genuinely been fighting alongside the Immortal Sovereigns since the battle began, a battle that thoroughly depleted her energy.

The war had ended, but the matters were far from over.

The real disaster is only just beginning!

There are still two-tenths of curses left scattered across All Heavens, and the Yuan Sovereign Clan occupies half the worlds, breeding numerous descendants that need to be eradicated one by one.

Yet, the Xuan Huang Immortal’s Fairy Sect shattered in the Star Sea, leaving Xuan Huang nearly devoid of immortals.

Now, it’s the Immortal Sovereigns who must do numerous menial tasks.

Immortal Sovereigns differ from immortals; Immortal Sovereigns’ Fairy Sects form their own Fairy Realm, incapable of surviving the shattering of their sect as an immortal can.

When immortals shatter their sect, Immortal Sovereigns can only watch, can only hunt Yuan Venerable Immortals.

Moreover, those shattered dozen or so big worlds, with fragments scattered across all heavens, if not cleared, who knows how many more big worlds may suffer.

Also, the Breath of Oblivion mingled within other worlds needs swift clearing…

There are countless tasks like cattle in number.
