The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1378: Return

Chapter 1378: Chapter 1378: Return

""Ding! The Wheel of Fate is about to be set in motion!""

The system notification sounded in Qin Jun’s mind, like an alarm bell, turning his complexion unnatural.

He scanned the crowd below, his gaze sweeping over every face, his expression complex, causing everyone’s hearts to inexplicably tremble.

"Remember, you must survive, live until my reappearance!"

Qin Jun said with a grave tone, how many can survive through countless eons?

"We will definitely live to wait for Your Majesty!"

The people shouted in unison, and Huo Qubing, along with the twelve Holy Generals, knelt and did not rise.

Ji Haoye clenched his fists with gritted teeth, filled with unwillingness in his heart.

They dared not imagine what would become of the Heavenly Emperor’s Palace after Qin Jun’s departure.

Qin Jun was their pillar of strength; without him, their minds would not remain settled.

Cundi looked at Qin Jun, his gaze flickering, pondering something unknown.

Guo Jia, fanning himself, said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, when you return, Guo Jia will present you with an even stronger Heavenly Emperor’s Palace!"

Guan Zhong, though silent, stood next to Guo Jia, his eyes full of determination, as if he had made up his mind.

Qin Jun nodded slightly, turned to look at Xiling and said: "Our home, I leave it to you."

Xiling’s eyes watered, her right hand tightly covering her small mouth, forcefully holding back from crying aloud.

Thud!

On the other side, Baili Shouyue suddenly knelt down, incessantly kowtowing without saying a word, his relentless kowtowing causing the Heavenly Emperor’s Palace to tremble, and the floor where his forehead collided quickly became splattered with blood, shockingly red.

"My friends, farewell!"

As Qin Jun felt the Wheel of Fate within him start spinning wildly and the forces of space and time around him fluctuate, he said with an easy laugh.

Everyone hurriedly knelt down, shouting in unison: "We bid farewell to the Heavenly Emperor!"

Their eyes all turned red, even a powerful figure like the Yuanchu Emperor couldn’t overcome the soft spot in his heart.

Qin Jun’s departure signified the fall of an era.

Heavenly Dao has emerged, the era of Chaos will pass, and the Heavenly Emperor is the most emblematic figure of the Chaos era.

"The Great Dao is boundless, reincarnation unending, only I shall prevail forever, strive to follow in my footsteps!"

"The unparalleled battle, will be the time when I reappear in the universe!"

Following Qin Jun’s final words, his figure began to twist and then disappeared without a trace.

Gone completely, as if he had never existed.

The twelve Holy Generals couldn’t help but burst into loud sobs, and Ji Haoye’s heart-wrenching roar startled the entire Heavenly Emperor’s world.

All beings were puzzled, yet unaware that the Heavenly Emperor had already departed.

Outside the city.

The Qiuming Emperor came before the city gate, now with an upright figure, dressed in a black robe and an Asian conical hat, like a proud and solitary ranger, he halted his steps upon hearing Ji Haoye’s roar.

"What’s going on?"

The Qiuming Emperor muttered to himself, his Asian conical hat concealing his face from the creatures around him.

The last time Qin Jun preached, he created many saints, making him too ashamed to join Qin Jun.

This time, having become Half Holy and qualified to pursue the Holy Realm, he had come specially to seek mentorship.

Little did he know, the master he sought had vanished.

At the other end of the universe.

The Su Emperor floated in the starry sky, with countless stars behind him forming a radiant canvas; his gaze fixed towards the Heavenly Emperor’s world.

"From now on, Heavenly Emperor, you will be this emperor’s only opponent; next time, I will surely surpass you!"

The Su Emperor murmured to himself, his cold face filled with confidence and anticipation.

Because of what Qin Jun said, he now wanted to see the higher plane universes.

...

Within the Baili Clan universe.

Above the colossal island, a black hole suddenly appeared, followed by Qin Jun leaping out from it. His body descended rapidly, plunging into the forest below. He landed steadily, causing the ground beneath him to cave in.

The Wují Primordial robe fluttered in the wind, and with his head lowered, he turned his hand to take out the Primordial Emperor Sword.

He slowly lifted his head, revealing a face so handsome it was flawless, and the purple flame tattoo at the center of his brow suddenly began to pulse, his purple eyes icy and stern.

"I have returned again."

He could sense Hou Yi’s aura, as well as the mysterious aura that had forced him to travel through time and space, exceptionally powerful.

The familiar scent of spiritual energy no longer carried the vast and weighty feel of the Chaos era, giving him a feeling as if lifetimes had passed.

It seemed like only seconds had gone by, but in reality, he had lived for over five hundred million years.

Next, he was set to rescue Yang Jian and Hou Yi, confronting that mysterious entity who transcended the Great Dao, at the fifth level of the Supreme Realm.

He was unafraid, not because he could defeat it, but because he had recognized the true identity of that mysterious entity.

"Baili Shouyue! Come out to me!"

Qin Jun suddenly bellowed in rage, his voice thundering across the giant island and making the surrounding forest tremble wildly.

"Eh? You’re actually here!"

The mysterious voice that had abducted Hou Yi and Yang Jian rang out once more; just before, it was puzzled by Qin Jun’s sudden disappearance.

"Wait... you are..."

The mysterious voice trembled, filled with disbelief and surprise.

He was indeed Baili Shouyue, a subordinate Qin Jun had taken during the Chaos era!

Even Qin Jun hadn’t expected that Baili Shouyue would be in the Baili Clan’s old nest, which set his thoughts adrift.

The next second, a cataclysmic wind swept in from the center of the giant island, uprooting the ancient trees one by one, which then flew towards the depths of the universe and vanished.

Swoosh—

A dark figure rapidly approached and stopped in front of Qin Jun. The fierce wind caused Qin Jun’s long hair to dance wildly. He focused his eyes and saw a dark figure in front of him. With a casual throw of his hands, Hou Yi and Yang Jian were tossed aside, landing on the ground, their bodies twitching slightly, unable to stand up, clearly bound by some restraint.

"Your Majesty... run..."

Yang Jian gritted his teeth as he spoke with great difficulty. His eyes were bloodshot with anger and panic.

This person’s cultivation was off the charts; even he couldn’t stand against him, let alone Qin Jun.

Hou Yi was equally anxious, his eyes fixated on the dark figure in front of him.

The dark figure looked at Qin Jun, twisting its form, and the next moment, shockingly, it kneeled before Qin Jun with a thud.

"Heavenly Emperor... Your Majesty..."

His voice even carried a hint of a sob, startling Yang Jian and Hou Yi, their minds unable to comprehend what was happening.

What was going on?

Qin Jun’s expression was cold as he looked down upon him and commanded, "Reveal your true form!"

This fiend had previously failed to recognize him, which irritated Qin Jun.

After his cultivation in the Chaos era, to Yang Jian and the others, Qin Jun seemed like a different person.

Every move he made was filled with supreme authority, as if all living beings in the entire universe dare not provoke him.

Hou Yi, in the late stage of the Holy Realm, could not discern Qin Jun’s cultivation, while Yang Jian, at the second level of the Supreme Realm, was utterly dumbstruck, his face showing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

How could His Majesty’s cultivation have soared in just a brief moment?

The dark energy dissipated, and Baili Shouyue revealed his true body - his hair white with age, his figure slightly stooped, wearing a worn-out black robe. His skin and features looked to be about forty years old, his murky eyes filled with excited tears. Qin Jun frowned at the sight; compared to the Baili Shouyue he had left behind in the Chaos era, he appeared much older.
