Chapter 1451: South Sea Divine Emperor

The Moon God Realm's exclusive seating area. A divine moon suddenly appeared in the sky, casting purple light everywhere. The Moon God Emperor descended from above, silently taking her seat. Her posture and aura were breathtaking.

It was common knowledge that after Yue Wuya's demise, his adopted daughter, whom he had forcefully sealed, inherited both the Purple Pylon divine power and the position of Moon God Emperor. From that moment on, the Moon God Realm plunged into great turmoil. Everyone believed this upheaval would last a very long time. Despite Yue Wuya's personal decree, it seemed virtually impossible for Xia Qingyue, in any aspect, to bring the Moon God Realm to submission. However, in just three short years, the Moon God's turmoil was completely quelled. Outsiders could only marvel, unable to imagine what had transpired.

In these past years, the new Moon God Emperor had never left the Moon God Realm. Today marked the Moon God Emperor's first public appearance. These Eastern Region supremes had expected a divine emperor, newly ascended, shockingly young, and a woman, to be incredibly naive, her imperial aura not yet formed. However, the moment Xia Qingyue appeared, her peerless grace and silent majesty struck awe into the hearts of these Eastern Region supremes. They yearned to gaze upon her but dared not look directly.

Behind the Moon God Emperor, four Moon Gods followed. Including the Moon God Emperor, half of the ten Moon Gods currently residing in the Moon God Realm were present. (Two were lost during the Calamity of the Evil Infant).

“Wow! So beautiful, even prettier than before,” Water Meiyin exclaimed, her eyes sparkling, sighing involuntarily. Then, seemingly recalling something, she leaned against Yun Che, “Big Brother Yun Che, was she really your wife before?”

“Yes,” Yun Che nodded.

Water Meiyin looked at Xia Qingyue, who was like a purple moon in the sky, then at Yun Che, and whispered, “She doesn’t… feel like it at all.”

“…We slept in the same bed anyway. If you don’t believe me, go ask her!” Yun Che said with a slight gritting of teeth, his voice full of conviction.

“Wow!” Water Meiyin gasped lightly, “You actually slept with a Divine Emperor, Big Brother Yun Che, you’re amazing!”

Yun Che was speechless. This girl is definitely teasing me!

On the side of the Brahma Heaven God Realm, only four individuals were present. However, the arrival of these four caused the atmosphere around the Conferred God Stage to dramatically shift once more.

“The Three Brahma Gods!” Water Qianheng exclaimed in surprise!

Yun Che also turned his gaze. He too had long heard of the renowned Three Brahma Gods of the Brahma Emperor. Because these were three names belonging to Level Ten Divine Masters!

A Level Ten Divine Master symbolized power at the Divine Emperor level. Even mighty realms like the Star God Realm and Moon God Realm only had their respective Star God Emperor and Moon God Emperor reach this stage. The Eternal Heaven God Realm had two: the Eternal Heaven God Emperor and the Chief Guardian, Honored Master Tai Yu. However, the Brahma Emperor God Realm, besides Qianye Fantian and Qianye Ying’er, also possessed these three Great Brahma Gods!

Rumors had long circulated in the Eastern Divine Region that while these three Brahma Gods might not equal the Star God Emperor and Moon God Emperor in power, they were not far behind! And it was said that in combination, these three Brahma Gods were capable of defeating any single Divine Emperor in the Eastern Divine Region! This truly sent shivers down one's spine.

Among the four King Realms of the Eastern Region, the Brahma Emperor God Realm had the fewest attendees, yet they were the most “grand” in their presence. The Brahma Heaven Divine Emperor plus the Three Brahma Gods… four Level Ten Divine Masters, a terrifying force that even other Divine Master grand figures dared not look directly at, a power that made their hearts constrict just thinking about it.

Yun Che looked up. The faces of these three Brahma Gods were far less menacing than their reputations suggested. All wore calm, indifferent expressions, and… perhaps it was an illusion, but there was a distinct resemblance among their features.

“The Three Brahma Gods of the Brahma Emperor, they rank above the Brahma Kings, and in both the Brahma Emperor God Realm and the Eastern Divine Region, they are second only to a Divine Emperor,” Mu Xuanyin suddenly spoke in a low voice. “The three of them, along with Qianye Fantian, are full-blooded brothers.”

“Full-blooded… brothers?” Yun Che was greatly astonished. Full-blooded… one paramount Divine Emperor, and three Level Ten Divine Masters!? What kind of monstrous bloodline is this!?

“The Three Brahma Gods are named Qianye Wusheng, Qianye Wupei, and Qianye Wu’ai. Qianye Fantian is the eldest; before he was conferred as an Emperor, his name was Qianye Wutian. Only after becoming Emperor did he change his name to Qianye Fantian.”

“Every generation’s Divine Emperor in the Brahma Emperor God Realm is named ‘Qianye Fantian,’ and their imperial title is always ‘Brahma Heaven Divine Emperor.’ This is because the Brahma Emperor God Realm inherits the power of the ‘Brahma Heaven God Clan’ from the Era of Gods. The Brahma Heaven God Clan, subordinate to the Heaven Punishing Divine Emperor, was a highly belligerent god clan, and its king was the ancient ‘Brahma Heaven Emperor.’”

Yun Che nodded, committing every word to memory. Wutian, Wusheng, Wupei, Wu’ai… four brothers from the same mother, all Level Ten Divine Masters! And Qianye Fantian’s daughter, Qianye Ying’er, was even more terrifying, chilling one to the bone. The Qianye Clan… truly terrifying beyond comprehension.

Yet, even so… another aura descended from the sky, forcefully suppressing the presence of the four individuals from the Brahma Emperor God Realm! And that overwhelming majesty, which instantly solidified the heavens and earth, compelling all beings to kneel… It was the Dragon Monarch!

The Dragon Monarch, Azure Dragon Emperor, and Qilin Emperor appeared together. This was the home ground of the Eastern Divine Region, where its supreme powerhouses gathered, yet the divine might of the Dragon Monarch and two Emperors from the Western Divine Region almost took precedence, overpowering any Eastern Region King Realm.

Upon the Dragon Monarch’s arrival, all powerhouses, including the various Divine Emperors, rose to greet him. Just then, a gentle laugh echoed through the air, followed by a man’s voice, refined yet arrogant, and deeply magnetic: “Heh heh, I apologize for Southern Sea’s late arrival due to certain matters. I hope the heroes of the Eastern Region will not take offense.”

Before the person appeared, the words “Southern Sea” reached everyone’s ears, causing a collective shock. Yun Che’s brows furrowed sharply… Water Meiyin seemed to sense something and turned to glance at Yun Che.

As the voice faded, two figures appeared beside the Dragon Monarch’s seat. One had a lazy, arrogant demeanor, even his stance was somewhat crooked; it was none other than Cang Shitian, the Shitian Divine Emperor of the Southern Divine Region, who had come to observe the Profound God Convention. The man beside him wore silver robes, his build appearing quite slender, and he seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. His face was fair, with a subtle hint of sickliness. Yet, his appearance was unforgettable at first glance. It was a beauty so stunning it could make even a strikingly attractive woman envious.

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor rose again, saying sincerely, “For the Southern Sea Divine Emperor to grace us with his presence is a great fortune for our Eastern Region. How could we possibly take offense? Please, enter!”

The Southern Sea Divine Emperor scanned the audience, then bowed deeply to the Dragon Monarch: “It has been many years. Dragon Monarch, your bearing is even grander than before. Once today’s important matter concludes, I shall pay my respects again.”

The Dragon Monarch nodded slightly, a faint, unreadable smile on his face: “Indeed, it has been many years. I hear your concubines number over ten thousand now. It seems you’ve finally fulfilled your wish from back then.”

“Hahahahaha!” Hearing this, the Southern Sea Divine Emperor showed no embarrassment. Instead, he laughed heartily: “It is well-known throughout the world that Southern Sea is as devoted to beauty as to life itself. However, if others were to mention this, I would be immensely proud. Only for the Dragon Monarch…” The Southern Sea Divine Emperor shook his head, smiling: “Though I have many concubines, compared to the Dragon Queen, they are but a pile of worn-out shoes.”

Dragon Monarch: “…”

“Did you hear that?” Water Meiyin whispered into Yun Che’s ear. “He has over ten thousand concubines. Aren’t you ashamed?”

Yun Che took a slight breath. The name of the Southern Sea Divine Emperor had long been etched into his memory. Because, back then, it was he who had caused Jasmine to be poisoned by the demonic poison 'God Slaying Absolute Demise.' Had she not encountered him, Jasmine would have long since perished. However, his appearance and demeanor were vastly different from what Yun Che had imagined.

The Southern Sea Divine Emperor’s gaze turned towards the Brahma Emperor God Realm, revealing deep disappointment… Everyone knew what he was disappointed about. Qianye Ying’er was not present! It was common knowledge that the Southern Sea Divine Emperor was infatuated with the “Goddess.” Although he was the paramount Divine Emperor of the Southern Divine Region, he frequently traveled to the Eastern Divine Region, almost always for Qianye Ying’er. After all, for this beauty-obsessed paramount Divine Emperor of the Southern Region, the “Dragon Queen” and the “Goddess” were his lifelong ultimate pursuits. He could no longer touch the Dragon Queen, but the Goddess… he would stop at nothing to obtain her. His open infatuation with the Goddess, entirely unconcerned about being known throughout the realms, was also a clear warning to the world: anyone daring to touch Qianye Ying’er should first weigh whether they could withstand the wrath of the Southern Sea Divine Emperor. Back then, when Jasmine was ambushed in the Southern Divine Region, the Southern Sea Divine Emperor personally intervened, even using an extremely precious demonic poison… all at Qianye Ying’er’s mere telepathic instruction.

With the Goddess absent, the Southern Sea Divine Emperor immediately lost interest. After a casual greeting to the Brahma Heaven Divine Emperor, he took his seat. Immediately, Yun Che felt a gaze, peaceful yet terribly potent, suddenly land on him, lingering for several seconds.

“Is that him?” The Southern Sea Divine Emperor looked at Yun Che and smiled faintly.

“This young man is the one the Goddess once intended to ‘marry down’ to. I’m sure you’re very interested,” Cang Shitian said with a smile.

The Southern Sea Divine Emperor let out a faint chuckle: “Ying’er would take an interest in him? Heh heh heh, he’s merely a temporary toy with a hidden agenda.”

“That may be so. But I personally witnessed this young man attracting the Nine-Stage Heaven Tribulation. His future holds great promise,” Cang Shitian said. “The Eternal Heaven God Emperor specially invited him to today’s discussion, clearly valuing him highly.”

Looking across the entire venue, all were Divine Masters… with only Yun Che being a Divine King. The power of a Divine King was certainly within the strong category in the God Realm, capable of being a realm king in a lower star realm. But at this Eternal Heaven Convention, filled with grand figures… Yun Che stood out like a mosquito amidst a flock of giant eagles.

“Well said,” the Southern Sea Divine Emperor continued to smile. “But… he also needs to survive until that future.”

“The Southern Sea Divine Emperor’s name is Nan Wansheng, and he is the paramount among the four Divine Emperors of the Southern Divine Region,” Mu Xuanyin whispered. Nan Wansheng… this name inherently carried an aura of disdain and arrogance towards all beings.

“Outwardly, he appears as a handsome youth, but his profound strength is unparalleled, and he possesses countless unique techniques, excelling particularly in the use of poison. He is the most outwardly harmless, yet in reality, the most sinister and terrifying Divine Emperor among the three divine regions,” Mu Xuanyin said, then changed her tone: “Furthermore, he has one characteristic that is strikingly similar to yours.”

“What?” Yun Che instinctively replied.

“As devoted to beauty as to life itself!” Mu Xuanyin said coldly.

“Cough… cough cough…” Yun Che choked on his saliva once again.

“Not at all,” Water Meiyin suddenly turned her face, smiling sweetly. “Big Brother Yun Che is just… a little bit.”

“Hmph, how many times have you interacted with him, and how much do you truly know about him?” Mu Xuanyin said frostily.

“Oh…” Water Meiyin pondered for a moment, then humbly accepted: “Hmm! In that regard, Meiyin certainly doesn’t know as much as Senior Mu. I’ll try harder.”

Mu Xuanyin remained silent. Yun Che wisely kept his mouth shut. Phew… what’s going on today? Why does the atmosphere on both sides feel so off?

“All esteemed guests have arrived. It is time to discuss today’s crucial matter.”

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor rose. His words, each weighty as mountains striking hearts, instantly made the atmosphere on the Conferred God Stage solemn. Given the immense power and spiritual perception of these Divine Masters, they detected profound sorrow in the Eternal Heaven God Emperor’s brief statement. Their brows furrowed, and their hearts sank… For the Eternal Heaven God Emperor to be so affected, they knew his subsequent words and today’s important matter would be extraordinary.

“Four years ago, using the Heavenly Mystery prophecy as a guide, I publicly revealed the existence of the crimson crack on the Eastern Extremity Chaos Wall, emphasizing that its appearance likely heralded a colossal world calamity. In truth…” The Eternal Heaven God Emperor paused slightly, his voice growing heavier: “In truth, the talk of ‘calamity’ did not solely stem from the Heavenly Mystery prophecy; it also came from… the Eternal Heaven Divine Spirit!”

Buzz— A slight tremor ran through the Conferred God Stage… yet even this slight tremor caused the space for thousands of miles to tremble. The Eternal Heaven Divine Spirit was also the spirit of the Eternal Heaven Pearl!

“The Profound God Convention, which was held to select the most outstanding young geniuses of the Eastern Region, was also the will of the Eternal Heaven Divine Spirit. You all should have known long ago that a time miracle like ‘Eternal Heaven Three Thousand Years’ could not possibly be decided by our Eternal Heaven God Realm.” Indeed, powerhouses at the highest level were well aware of this. Since its appearance in the world, the Eternal Heaven Pearl had only had one true master: the Eternal Heaven Grand Ancestor! After the Grand Ancestor's passing, the Eternal Heaven Pearl was merely utilized by the Eternal Heaven Realm, rather than acknowledging a new master. Thus, a time miracle like ‘Eternal Heaven Three Thousand Years,’ which could exhaust the Pearl's current divine power, was naturally not something the Eternal Heaven Realm could decide.

“At that time, the Eternal Heaven Divine Spirit perceived an extremely unsettling aura from the crimson crack but did not know what it was. To prepare for the unknown calamity, it decided to use ‘Eternal Heaven Three Thousand Years’ to foster a batch of powerful forces. Although it might be a drop in the ocean, it was still a glimmer of hope… a hope that might contain or give rise to unknown miracles.”

“However, it was only after the Profound God Convention that the Eternal Heaven Divine Spirit finally understood what aura the crimson crack was releasing… and from that, surmised the incomparably terrifying ‘truth’.” The Eternal Heaven God Emperor paused, letting out a long breath.

“After the Profound God Convention?” Qianye Fantian said with a furrowed brow. “You mean the truth about the crimson crack was known four years ago? Then why have you remained silent until today?”
