Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267 Return to Position

The Jade Emperor, radiating myriad rays of divine light, seemed identical to the Jade Emperor Lin Shen first saw at the Celestial Court. At that time, Lin Shen’s eyesight wasn’t good enough, and he could only see the luminous silhouette of the Jade Emperor.

Moreover, during their first encounter, the Jade Emperor spoke to Lin Shen in a formal tone, with a hint of bureaucratic flair, even if one did not see his visage, merely hearing his voice would make one think he was a high official or a deity or some revered figure.

At this moment, when the Jade Emperor spoke the words, "You have worked hard, my dear subject," his tone was distinctly laced with strong emotion, making Lin Shen feel very familiar.

Raising his head to look at the Jade Emperor, with Lin Shen’s current super visual ability, his gaze pierced through the brilliant divine light and revealed a familiar face.

It was the face of a middle-aged man, in the prime of male charm, neither the awkwardness of youth nor the decrepitude of old age, marking the zenith of masculine beauty.

Yet this face seemed so familiar to Lin Shen; his heart instinctively exclaimed, "Tianshu... Isn’t this the look of Emperor Tianshu in his middle years? And that voice from the first sentence, how does it sound exactly like Emperor Tianshu’s voice? And wasn’t he just talking to me? No one else would call me like that besides Tianshu, right? Could the Jade Emperor really be Tianshu?"

"Impossible... How could that be... Didn’t Tianshu get taken away to mine after his Ascension..." Lin Shen found his speculation absurd, how could Tianshu be the Jade Emperor.

However, upon another thought, since Tianshu’s Ascension, there had been no news of him; even though Lin Shen became the Star Constellation Master, he could garner no information about him, as if he vanished into thin air, which was indeed peculiar.

Wei and Di Esi could gather intelligence, but why was there nothing about Emperor Tianshu, which seemed unreasonable, as he was the Star Constellation Master, second only to one in the Star God Palace, yet he couldn’t even find news about a miner from the lower realms, which clearly was not sensible.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Your Majesty." Shi Zhongqing rose as if stepping on clouds, arriving at that Immortal Palace, standing like a small ant before the Jade Emperor, bowing in salutation.

"You have worked hard, my dear subject, with many matters at hand, you may now return to your place." The Jade Emperor’s voice was calm yet carried an irrefutable authority, as if his words were the law of heaven and earth.

With this decree, a spring-like immortal light surged from Shi Zhongqing, bathing in the immortal light, the wound on his body vanished instantly, and his physical and mental state visibly transformed; it was as if he had returned to a youthful state again, though still looking old in form, the skin was as smooth as a baby, with a face beaming with health, truly resembling the image of an old immortal with white hair and youthful complexion, completely different from his usual decrepit look.

The immortal light further turned his Great Divine Official’s robe into a shimmering spectacle, like a condensation of celestial mist.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Zhongqing bowed again and stepped aside.

Only then did everyone understand that Shi Zhongqing always knew the Jade Emperor resided in the Celestial Court, and the finger he summoned was not false, but indeed imbued with the Jade Emperor’s divine might.

This old man openly served as the Great Divine Official of the Jade Emperor and was secretly a prince of the God-making Race, yet in the end, he was truly the Great Divine Official of the Jade Emperor.

Lin Shen could only think, "Shi Zhongqing certainly knows how to play the game, even Yi Jingren was fooled by him."

Lin Shen exhaled slightly, it seemed the Jade Emperor’s previous "my dear subject" was meant for Shi Zhongqing.

However, upon another reckoning, something seemed off; he distinctly saw the Jade Emperor looking at him, not Shi Zhongqing.

Moreover, ever since Lin Shen arrived at the Celestial Court and met Shi Zhongqing, Shi Zhongqing inexplicably treated him benevolently.

Under no clear understanding, he offered various forms of assistance, even sacrificing for him on the Immortal Slaying Stage, and gave him the position of Star Constellation Master.

Lin Shen had previously wondered why Shi Zhongqing treated him so well; could it really be such a thing as pies falling from the sky?

If the Jade Emperor was indeed Tianshu, and Shi Zhongqing was a person of the Jade Emperor, then it all made sense.

The reason Shi Zhongqing treated Lin Shen so well wasn’t because of Lin Shen’s charm, but because Tianshu was backing him in secret.

And the first time he went to the Celestial Court to select a Guardian Spirit, why did the Jade Emperor, such an existence, use some slightly shameless means to become his Guardian Spirit?

Not because Lin Shen was outstanding, but because it was Tianshu.

"Respects to Your Majesty!" All the Star Divine Officials bowed to the Jade Emperor, and even divine beings of each house worshiped the Jade Emperor without exception.

"You have made enough ruckus, each return to your positions." The Jade Emperor’s voice was like a heavenly sound, akin to a father’s command, bearing a certain dignity yet a sense of unspeakable compassion.

Lin Shen initially thought it was just words of comfort.

But the next second, he realized he was wrong, the true Great Emperor’s Divine Mighty could change heaven and earth with a single command.

Following the Jade Emperor’s decree, the starry sky shone, the earth shifted positions, as if time reversed.

Boundless particles crisscrossed the void, gathering towards different locations.

Destroyed planets from the great war reassembled and repositioned, dead beings were reborn in the gathering of particles, star systems restored, and the world returned to its former colors.

In this battle, all those who died, whether people or pets, regardless of who they were or their standpoints, were all resurrected through the transformation of heaven and earth.

Even broken divine artifacts and various weapons were reforged from the lost particles, mending their damages.

Immortals from the Immortal Soldier Camp, their shattered bodies were also reconstructed, reverting to their original state.

"Respects to Your Majesty!" The Immortal Soldier Camp and the resurrected people saluted the Jade Emperor from afar.

Lin Shen observed the universe restored to its old look by just a word from the Jade Emperor, his expression faintly peculiar.

Since the Jade Emperor possessed such divine might, why did he not stop Yi Jingren directly, only coming out after the fact to clean up the aftermath?

Lin Shen clearly saw that even Yi Jingren, who was engulfed by the Tai Chi Ball, was revived, looking at the Jade Emperor with a complex expression.

Lin Shen gazed at Yi Jingren, seemingly gaining insight in his heart.

Even though Yi Jingren was revived, the First Immortal Sword in his hand did not return to life, and on Yi Jingren’s body, there was no terrifying ghost-god power.

Everything returned to its former state, except for two things that did not recover, the First Immortal Sword and the Secret God Star.

"Heavenly Path and Human Law each have their duties, and all Heaven Ghosts and Gods have their responsibilities, the Celestial Court and Ancient Realm are originally one, henceforth indistinguishable, all things may transcend to become Immortals..." With the Jade Emperor’s voice, the barriers between the Ancient Realm and the Celestial Court shattered simultaneously, myriad ghosts and gods emerged, the cosmic law returned to order, void lines reconnected, permeating the cosmos.
