Chapter 1363: Chapter 1363: Return of the Heavenly Emperor

The Heavenly Emperor Returns!

This news exploded like a heavy bomb within the great world of the Heavenly Emperor, triggering countless ripples.

Tens of thousands of years had passed, and in that time, countless new beings had been born within the great world of the Heavenly Emperor. They had come to worship the Heavenly Emperor as a deity.

"The Heavenly Emperor has returned?"

"The Heavenly Emperor is going to deliver a sermon?"

"Are you guys joking? Wasn’t the Heavenly Emperor said to have gone to battle fate?"

"Of course, the Heavenly Emperor must have defeated fate!"

"Tsk tsk, I want to go listen to the sermon too. It’s said that all the top-notch experts have once listened to the Heavenly Emperor’s sermon."

Within the great world of the Heavenly Emperor, all creatures were exhilarated.

About a day later.

Qin Jun and Guo Jia walked out of the Heavenly Emperor’s stone hall, and at this moment, Guo Jia’s face was filled with an ecstatic smile, his right hand continuously waving a folding fan.

After a night of Qin Jun’s magical essence being poured into him, Guo Jia had transformed from an ordinary person into a cultivator of the Golden Elixir Realm. However, in the era of Chaos, he was still at the bottom of the pyramid, insignificant as an ant.

"I feel like I could fly!"

Guo Jia said excitedly, provoking a roll of the eyes from Qin Jun.

Outside the hall, Baili Shouyue was waiting. Now, he looked to be in his thirties, no longer as cunning as before, but his temperament had become calm and steady.

"Shouyue, take him down and make proper arrangements for him. Treat him as my disciple."

Qin Jun instructed Baili Shouyue, knowing that Guo Jia’s cunning would be greatly useful in the future. He did not want to see Guo Jia mistreated and disheartened.

Baili Shouyue had followed Qin Jun for millions of years and knew his temperament well, thus he regarded Guo Jia with newfound respect.

"What background does this fellow have to be so favored by His Majesty!"

Baili Shouyue thought curiously. Almost all beings who followed Qin Jun were talents favored by the heavens. Only he had attained his status today through loyalty and shrewdness, so he remained cautious and dared not neglect anything.

"Alright, my lord, please come with me."

Baili Shouyue first bowed to Qin Jun and then said to Guo Jia with a smile.

Guo Jia nodded and followed Baili Shouyue away.

In the Heavenly Emperor’s stone hall, no one aside from Xiling could reside there. The rule was not broken while Qin Jun was away.

After they departed, Qin Jun slowly ascended.

Like a banished immortal, he arrived at the spire atop the Heavenly Emperor’s stone hall, overlooking thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, his mind gradually calming.

"Today, I will preach for all beings. Those with intent are welcome to listen!"

Qin Jun spoke, his voice echoing throughout the entire great world of the Heavenly Emperor, immediately causing a huge commotion.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...

One after another, powerful figures flew in, landing on the hills surrounding the Heavenly Emperor’s stone hall. Among them were Ji Haoye, Huo Qubing, Royal Lord Dong, She-Bishi, the Twelve Holy Generals, and soon Qin Gongtian from the Heavenly Emperor’s Academy also hurried over. His face was full of excitement as he looked at Qin Jun, prostrating in mid-air, and kowtowing five times, showing his agitation.

More and more Half Holy and Manifesting Saint figures gathered, and the cities around the Heavenly Emperor’s stone hall were in an uproar. Beings were jumping onto rooftops and eaves to look up at Qin Jun.

In less than a column of incense’s time, more than two hundred thousand beings gathered to listen to the sermon, and the number was still skyrocketing.

Qin Jun sat cross-legged at the spire, his face serene as he looked at the sky, lost in his thoughts.

Some beings secretly used magic to imprint this scene onto scrolls or canvas, a tribute for future generations to admire.

"Wow! Is that the Heavenly Emperor?"

Ji Qiankun led a group of young boys and girls through the alleyways, looking up at the high and mighty Qin Jun with faces full of longing and excitement.

Huo Xundi hummed, "See! I wasn’t lying!"

Ji Qiankun laughed heartily, "The Heavenly Emperor is preaching; we can’t miss it!"

The other young boys and girls were also very excited; their origins were no small matter, as they almost all came from Chaos-born Clan families, generations of whom had followed the Heavenly Emperor.

Along the way, the creatures they passed did not dare to stop them, letting them push and shove as they pleased.

Xiling, with her dignified demeanor, slowly walked out from the Heavenly Emperor’s stone hall and arrived at a courtyard. She sat down at a stone table, and from there, she could just see Qin Jun when she raised her head.

Gazing at the supremely graceful form of Qin Jun, her eyes were filled with tenderness and obsession as she murmured, "It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way."

She would often recall the scenes from her naive and ignorant past, listening to Qin Jun’s lectures.

Back then, beings did not engage in deceit and trickery; everyone strived for cultivation peacefully, an idyllic existence.

Time continued to pass.

Another hour went by.

More than ten million beings had gathered, sitting in meditation on the hills and fields outside the city, awaiting Qin Jun’s lecture.

As Qin Jun’s fame spread during the Chaos period, each new generation of beings hearing of him pushed his fame value to over one trillion.

The reason it didn’t rise as rapidly as in later times was primarily because there were too few beings in total.

In later eras, the universe was filled with countless races, where some easily amounted to tens of millions, even hundreds of millions; not to mention the innumerable extraterrestrial beings. The populousness of later times was far beyond that of the Chaos period.

"I shall begin the lecture; how much you all comprehend depends entirely on destiny!"

Qin Jun, who was sitting cross-legged on the tower’s pinnacle, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Spiritual energy, come forth!"

All beings only felt a blast in their minds, instantly becoming alert, and they all looked towards Qin Jun.

Roaring spiritual energy gathered from all directions, forming a fierce wind that caused the trees across the hills and fields to sway, like waves in a green ocean.

"The Great Dao reveals itself, Chaos is born, spiritual energy ascends to the heavens, absorbing it by mimicking the movement of the celestial bodies..."

Qin Jun began his lecture, starting from the simplest concepts, leading all beings into the right mindset.

His comprehension nowadays was immense, so much so that lecturing even strong beings who were entering the realm of the sage was not an issue.

As he lectured, he commanded in his mind: "System, continue the summoning!"

For him, multitasking was not difficult. He took the opportunity to summon two more God and Demons, to have them listen to the lecture and enhance their cultivation.

"Ding! Random summoning of God and Demon begins!"

The system notification sounded, indicating the arrival of another God and Demon.

The unreliability of Guo Jia made Qin Jun hesitant to summon another strategist.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning Pan Jinlian, from folklore. Would you like to summon again?"

Qin Jun was dumbfounded; what the hell? Summoning Pan Jinlian is ridiculous!

"Summon again!"

Qin Jun decided without any hesitation. At the same time, millions of beings had entered the right state, beginning to cultivate while listening to the lecture. Countless spiritual energy whirlwinds rose around them, all involving beings who had reached or surpassed entering the realm of the sage.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the universe.

Inside the great Devil Clan world, within a massive stone arena similar to a colosseum.

Cang Shekui sat in the highest pavilion, enjoying the service of devil women, watching two terrifying beasts fight below, his face full of intoxicated pleasure.

Only they were in the entire arena, with no other spectators, making the roars of the beasts echo incessantly, causing tingles down one’s spine.

"Young master! It’s terrible! The Heavenly Emperor has returned!"

A snake-bodied elder appeared out of nowhere, crying out in alarm, which angered Cang Shekui. But before he could vent his anger, he snapped awake with realization.

"What? The Heavenly Emperor?"

Cang Shekui pushed away the devil women on either side and stood up, asking in a deep voice.

Ever since Mo Jingcang entered seclusion, he had been indulging in pleasure, lacking his father’s ambition. Now, hearing of the Heavenly Emperor’s return, he was almost scared witless.

He still remembered how Mo Jingcang behaved with apprehensive respect in the presence of the Heavenly Emperor back in the day.
