“Not even your bones will be left?”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign raised his eyebrows and asked, “Have you received more updates? Your clansmen have sent back more news from the Heaven Domain.”

“No!”

The Phantom King shook his head and said, “All the news we have heard about Jiang Yi so far have been verified, but the rumors we are hearing have not been heard of in the Heaven Domain. That is why this entire thing seems weird. Why don’t you think about it? Why are these rumors not being spread around the Heaven Domain, but in the Earth Domain instead?

“What’s more, the rumors are so specific. People are saying that Jiang Yi has been trapped in the Longtan Mystic Realm and that he will be demonized in three months. It is obvious that someone is setting up a trap for us to walk right into.”

“Keke!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign subconsciously smiled mockingly. “Phantom King, you think too highly of yourself. If the great family clans of the Heaven Domain want to deal with the three of us, would they need to play such games? What’s more, what would the great family clans of the Heaven Domain gain by killing us? Have we offended people in the Heaven Domain?”

The Wintry Sovereign and Qi Qingchen exchanged a knowing look. They thought that both the Phantom King and the Earth Emanations Sovereign were making sense. They just could not figure out what was so strange about the entire situation.

Qi Qingchen pondered for several seconds before saying, “There really is something strange about this matter. Either someone is plotting against us or this is purely coincidental. It is possible that after Jiang Yi got in trouble, the Nine Yang Army sealed up the news, but accidentally let slip some information.

“The information probably then reached the Chaos Sea and then spread to the Earth Domain. Jiang Yi had killed a significant number of people in the Chaos Sea. If he is really going to perish, it is no surprise that so many people in the Chaos Sea are jumping for joy.”

“If it is a plot...”

Qi Qingchen stood up and paced around the main hall, voicing her inner thoughts. “Any plot would have a motive. This plot is obviously not aimed at killing the people from the Earth Domain. Otherwise, the moment we expose it, the tens of thousands of domains in the Earth Domain would be furious, and nobody would send support to the Heaven Domain. The four Supreme Thearchs would also be infuriated. Thus, even if this was really a plot, it is likely not directed against us. It must be directed against... Jiang Yi!”

“Directed against Jiang Yi?”

Qi Qingchen’s conjecture caused all three pairs of eyes to flash. The three other elders began to think hard as well. They discovered that there was logic to what Qi Qingchen was saying.

However, after pondering for a moment, the Phantom King quickly shot them down. “Whether it is a plot or a coincidence, I am not getting involved in this matter. Is it really worth it to put three of our clans on the line for the sake of a mere Jiang Yi? You should know full well what the consequences would be if three of us perish. At the very least, we would lose all our territories.”

“Whether it’s worth it or not, I’m going to the Heaven Domain!”

The Wintry Sovereign stood up and said, “I was planning to go there already. The human race is about to be destroyed. Qingchen has already grown up s well. I’ll take it as me making my contribution to the human race. If I still don’t move my bones, I will probably die in the Wintry Domain.”

“Qingchen!”

The Wintry Sovereign turned to face Qi Qingchen and said, “Once I get to the Heaven Domain, I will think of a way to find out news about Jiang Yi. If I can rescue him, I will rescue him for sure. If I can’t, I will not force it. I will only be able to say that I tried my best.

“You’re not young anymore. You’ve overcome many things, and you have matured. While your Majesty Father is not around, the Wintry Domain will depend on you, and as will the Qi Clan! You cannot be stubborn anymore. Majesty Father may not come back after making this trip there. Don’t grieve over me because I am fighting for the human race...”

Before the Wintry Sovereign could finish speaking, tears flowed out of Qi Qingchen’s eyes. She wanted to say something but decided not to say anything at last. Her tears just kept flowing from her eyes as she gazed at the Wintry Sovereign.

“Alright, since the Phantom King is not going, the Wintry Sovereign and I will go on our own.”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign cast a sideways glance at the Phantom King and said, “He doesn’t even think sacrificing for his grandson is worth it, but I do. Even if I had to give my life for Jiang Yi or give up the lives of the entire Mo Clan, I would... find it worth it!”

“Uh?”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign’s words caused everyone to be stunned. Jiang Yi was that important in the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s eyes? He was even willing to sacrifice his entire Mo Clan?

“Wait!”

The Phantom King saw that the Earth Emanations Sovereign was about to walk away and suddenly shouted, “Earth Emanations Sovereign, make yourself clear. What is so special about that bastard Jiang Yi? Why is he so important to you?”

“There’s nothing special about him!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign smiled mysteriously and then kept silent for a few seconds before saying, “However, he is the future hope of the human race. The life and death of the human race is dependent on him.”

“What?”

The Phantom Race jumped to his feet as both the Wintry Sovereign and Qi Qingchen exchanged a look. Both of them thought that the Earth Emanations Sovereign was exaggerating as well. The human race was already in such a state. Could Jiang Yi really turn around their desperate crisis?

“Earth Emanations Sovereign, are you sure you’re not spouting nonsense?” The Phantom King asked in disbelief.

“Keke!”

The Earth Emanations Army smiled leisurely, his eyes glazing over. “You should know that I have been to the Heaven Domain in my younger days, right? Back then, I was a General in the Yan Supreme Thearch Army.”

“En, I know you have all been there, but I haven’t!” The Wintry Sovereign nodded and turned to the Phantom King. “I remember the Phantom King was a Great General Lord in the Crazed Supreme Thearch Army, right?”

“Forget about all that,” the Phantom King said, waving his hands. He did not want to recollect the past. “Earth Emanations Sovereign, get to the point.” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

“Back then, the Heaven Domain was still quite powerful...”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign became nostalgic. “The Yan Supreme Thearch brought me to fight in the Stellar Domain. We gathered great momentum and destroyed countless Netherworld Race beings. At last, we even managed to take over one of the Thearch Cities, the Stellar City! Make a guess... what did I gain in Stellar City?”

Qi Qingchen did not even dare to breathe out as she asked in a meek voice, “What?”

“A Magic Crystal Ball!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign said matter-of-factly, “Magic Crystal Balls can record scenes. That Magic Crystal Ball was part of the secret stash of a high-grade Netherworld General. It recorded a segment of history: the scene when the Netherworld Race surrounded the Heavenly Court. It recorded how the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch was killed!”

“This...”

The Wintry Sovereign and Phantom King’s eyes widened. It had always been a mystery how the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch died. They did not think that the Netherworld Race had recorded that scene.

The three of them did not dare to open their mouths. They waited in silence for the Earth Emanations Sovereign to resolve this mystery. The Earth Emanations Sovereign closed his eyes and fell silent for several seconds. Finally, he sighed, “The Netherworld Thearch led an army of hundreds and millions of Netherworld Race beings to surround the Heavenly Court. The Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch killed himself and caused the Heavenly Court to disappear. The Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon was split into seven parts and scattered all around...”

“Wait!”

The Phantom King suddenly recalled something. He interrupted the Earth Emanations Sovereign, saying, “Isn’t the Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon with the Netherworld Thearch? This is widely known across the Heaven Domain.”

“No...”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign replied confidently. “The Netherworld Thearch must have made an imitation of the Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon. The real Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon was scattered. I saw it with my own eyes. Qi Qingchen, you must have seen it, too.”

“Me?”

Qi Qingchen blinked slowly. A realization suddenly dawned on her. Her entire body shivered, and her voice trembled as she said, “Earth Emanations Sovereign, are you saying that Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword is the Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon?”

“Yes and no!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign nodded and replied, “He only has a few of the parts. He hasn’t gathered them all together. You recall the Sword Emanations King in the Sword Emanations Mystic Realm, right? Actually, I knew all along that the Sword Emanations King was a part of the Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon. At last, who was the one who subdued the Sword Emanations King?”

“Jiang Yi!”

Qi Qingchen exclaimed. “That’s right. The Sword Emanations King merged with the Fire Dragon Sword. After that, the Fire Dragon Sword’s aura seemed to be many times stronger...”

Ss, ss...

The Wintry Sovereign and the Phantom King exchanged meaningful looks as both of them sucked in a deep breath. The Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon that could reign the world was in Jiang Yi’s hands. It was very clear what this signified: Jiang Yi was the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch’s successor!
