Chapter 1151: The Celestial Heaven God Emperor

With the start of the second round of preliminary battles, the Brahma Heaven God Realm finally lost its tranquility.

All the Eastern Divine Region powerhouses invited to observe the battles left their residences and flew towards the same destination. This was the center of the Brahma Heaven God Realm—Brahma Heaven City, the dwelling place of the Brahma Heaven God Emperor and the "Guardians," a universally acknowledged holy land among holy lands. The Brahma Heaven Divine Tower, which soared 30,000 miles into the sky, stood at the very heart of Brahma Heaven City. Beneath it lay the most sacred artifact of the entire Eastern Divine Region—the Brahma Heaven Pearl.

She was certain that, given Yun Che's temperament, he would not easily accept defeat. She worried he might impulsively make an unwise move.

"I hope he can accept it for now. There will always be a way…" Mu Bingyun sighed inwardly.

Yun Che had killed Wu Guike at the very last moment, causing his ranking to skyrocket. However, for the entire month prior, his Soul Pearl had remained at zero, indicating he hadn't even entered the battlefield. Therefore, Mu Bingyun and the others naturally didn't check his battle record, assuming he had already been eliminated.

"The second round of preliminary battles has been underway for quite some time now. For those thousand 'Heaven Chosen Son' spots, it's bound to be extremely brutal," Mu Huanzhi remarked. "It's a pity there's no Star God Stele here, so we can't see the battle progress."

"Heh, well, it's irrelevant to us now anyway," Mu Tanzhi said with a hint of self-deprecation.

"Sect Master Huo, the Brahma Heaven Realm sent a message saying there's an important matter concerning the future of the Eastern Divine Region to discuss. Have you heard anything?" Mu Huanzhi asked Huo Rulie, who was not far away.

The seats of the Snow Song Realm and the Blazing Heaven Realm were adjacent. However, unlike the peaceful and restrained atmosphere at the Snow Song Realm's seats, everyone from the Blazing Heaven Realm—from the two sect masters and elders down to the accompanying disciples—had rosy complexions and eyes gleaming with peculiar light. Even Yan Juehai, the most composed among them, wore a perpetual smile.

As for Huo Rulie, his mouth was wide open in a grin that hadn't closed since the beginning. If a passerby saw him at that moment, they wouldn't believe he was the sect master of a mid-rank star realm—they'd be more likely to think he was mentally unstable. Huo Rulie hadn't heard Mu Huanzhi's question at all, still grinning foolishly. When his gaze met someone from an upper-rank star realm across from him, he didn't back down or avoid eye contact; instead, he proudly met their gaze, thinking, "My disciple made it into the top hundred of the entire Eastern Divine Region in the preliminary battles! He could trash at least eighty percent of your upper-rank star realms! Why would I be afraid of you!?"

Yan Juehai glanced at Huo Rulie and smiled as he answered for him, "We haven't received any news either, but we should know soon enough."

Mu Huanzhi nodded and cupped his hands towards Yan Juehai, saying, "My congratulations once again."

Given the unusual nature of this Profound God Convention, the various anomalies in the Brahma Heaven Realm, and rumors that had circulated for a long time, everyone present had vague suspicions about the "important matter" the Brahma Heaven God Realm referred to.

After a long while, three figures suddenly appeared on the horizon, flying towards the Conferred God Stage. As they drew closer, several gasps of surprise erupted.

"It's the Three Elders of Heavenly Mystery!"

These were three rather old men, all with white hair and white beards, dressed in identical jade-colored robes. These three elders were the renowned Three Elders of Heavenly Mystery, the most esteemed and influential figures in the Heavenly Mystery Realm within the Eastern Divine Region: Mo Yu, Mo Wen, and Mo Zhi.

"The Heavenly Mystery Realm has finally arrived, and it seems… only three of them came?" Mu Tanzhi commented.

"Heh, aren't the Three Elders of Heavenly Mystery arriving together enough?" Mu Huanzhi chuckled.

The Three Elders of Heavenly Mystery arrived above the Conferred God Stage, gave a slight nod to the crowd, and then, under everyone's astonished gaze, took their seats in the eastern section.

"The eastern section? They're actually in the eastern section? This…" The powerhouses from various realms exchanged bewildered glances, shocked and confused. Although the Heavenly Mystery Realm held a special status among upper-rank star realms, and the Four King Realms' realm kings respected the Three Elders of Heavenly Mystery, the eastern section of the Conferred God Stage had always been exclusively reserved for the King Realms, with no exceptions. Yet this time, the Heavenly Mystery Realm was permitted to be seated there.

"It seems this 'important matter' must be related to the Heavenly Mystery Realm," Yan Juehai said. He fell into contemplation, recalling a rumor from many years ago that seemed both real and unreal.

Huo Rulie suddenly interjected, "I coincidentally heard recently that the Three Elders of Heavenly Mystery suffered significant lifespan reduction due to divine retribution for excessively prying into heavenly secrets over the years, violating their ancestral teachings. Their remaining lifespans are now less than a mere century."

"I used to think it was a false rumor, but looking at their condition now…" Sensing the clearly abnormal life aura of the Three Elders of Heavenly Mystery from afar, Huo Rulie slowly nodded. "It seems to be true."

After their arrival, the Three Elders of Heavenly Mystery all closed their eyes and sat in silence, not uttering a word, like three withered trees.

Half an hour passed, and the wind on the Conferred God Stage suddenly ceased. The clouds in the sky, which had previously moved with the wind, also stilled. They then began to ripple slowly like water, as a tranquil and gentle aura, like a soft breeze, gradually drifted closer from afar.

Instantly, the entire Conferred God Stage became utterly silent, all sounds seemingly swallowed by a spatial rift. The next moment, everyone in the four sections and from the eight directions of star realms simultaneously stood up. The young profound practitioners, still dazed, were quickly prompted to stand by their elders.

"Heh heh, this old man is late. You all have waited for a long time."

Amidst the swirling clouds, the figure of an old man emerged. He was dressed in the simplest gray plain robes, with a benevolent face and a faint smile like a gentle breeze, slowly descending from the sky. Yet, this seemingly ordinary and gentle old man caused the various realm overlords of the Eastern Divine Region to gaze with reverence, bowing their waists in unison.

"Greetings to the Brahma Heaven God Emperor!"

The cry was perfectly uniform and, though devoid of profound energy, it directly shook the sky and made the hearts and souls of the accompanying young profound practitioners tremble with fright.

The Brahma… Heaven… God… Emperor!?

He was one of the Four King Realm Kings, the supreme sovereign of the Brahma Heaven God Realm, the mythical Brahma Heaven God Emperor!? They had long awaited this day, but when this mythical figure truly appeared within their sight, they felt an overwhelming sense of unreality… For a moment, they couldn't believe they were actually seeing this person who had only existed in legends.

A thousand people followed behind the Brahma Heaven God Emperor, and the aura emanating from these thousand individuals was so immense that even the realm kings of the upper-rank star realms dared not look directly at them. This was because they were the "Guardians" and "Adjudicators" of the Brahma Heaven God Realm. The Adjudicators were special existences within the Brahma Heaven God Realm, used to punish individuals or star realms that committed great evils or grave errors. The Guardians, though far fewer in number than the Adjudicators, held a status in the Brahma Heaven Realm and the Eastern Divine Region equivalent to the Star Gods of the Star God Realm and the Moon Gods of the Moon God Realm. Any one of them was a terrifying powerhouse that even realm kings of upper-rank star realms would have to bow to, representing the Brahma Heaven God Realm's most potent force and most crucial cornerstone, second only to the Brahma Heaven Pearl itself.

"You all have traveled a long way and waited for a month; it must have been arduous. Please, take your seats, there's no need for such formality," the Brahma Heaven God Emperor said gently, landing softly on the main seat in the eastern section. He smiled and raised a hand. There was no hint of arrogance in his posture or words, and his eyes, which were beginning to show signs of age, were like a pool of clear water, deep and pristine.
