After the emperor left, the State Preceptor sat there in a daze for a long time.

It was rare for one to have a confidant in life.

In his opinion, the Lingyun Emperor was one of the few fellow practitioners who could understand him.

!!

He was not the kind of “fellow practitioner” whom he addressed as such casually. Instead, the two of them were fellow practitioners who could really sit together and talk about the Dao, as well as support and encourage each other.

Friends on the path of Dao!

However, just as the State Preceptor had lamented…

It was rare to have a real fellow practitioner, as it was rare to have a confidant.

“How good will it be if this isn’t a dream?”

Unfortunately, between the two of them, there was a distance between dream and reality that spanned thousands of years.

At the thought of this, the State Preceptor looked up at the sky. After a long time, the look in his eyes became firm again.

“No matter what, it’s time… to put an end to this dream.”

He had basically squeezed the benefits of the dreams of the Heavenly Stairway to the limit. The reason why he did not leave this dream was purely because there was an obsession in his heart…

I must damn bloody well clear the level perfectly!

Obviously, this was a shout from a veteran gamer.

Of course, it was only because he had the attribute superpower that he could do so many things in the dream.

If it were any other challengers, they would have limited time to resist the divine light of the Heavenly Stairway. They would be too busy cultivating inside their dreams and would not have the time to care about the development of the plot.

“Since the mastermind doesn’t want to take the initiative to show up, I’ll have to think of a way to set up a trap that he can’t reject and lure him out…”

Feng Xia’s mind gradually became clear.

As a matter of fact, he was not adept at such schemes. However, he had been reincarnated time and time again in the dream world and had brushed past the truth time and time again. In the end, he forced himself to keep thinking about it so that he could unravel the truth of the entire dream world.

“Sigh… There’s indeed a saying that’s right. People are forced to behave in a certain way.”

…

In the ninth year, Lingyun Kingdom was prosperous and the people thrived and enjoyed their lives. Be it the people’s cultivation or livelihood, they had all been developed to an unprecedented level. There were many skillful cultivators and many progressed to become experts.

Due to all these reasons, some people even privately called the Lingyun Emperor…

The Holy Emperor!

The Heavenly Emperor!

However, there were also some people who were worried about this. The title of Heavenly Emperor was too grand. It was equivalent to standing above the heavens. If he did not have the ability to withstand the grandeur, he might attract the wrath of the heavens!

His Majesty did not respond to this. Instead, he laughed it off. “I am the Lingyun Emperor. Since I can rise above the clouds, I can naturally rise above the heavens.”

As soon as these words were spoken, no one dared to question it.

Soon, it was the 10th year. Lingyun Kingdom, which had formed alliances with the other two powerful forces, was developing at an unprecedented speed, surpassing any previous era.

Someone took this opportunity to speak to His Majesty the Emperor.

“Your Majesty’s contributions are already loftier than the heavens. The name Lingyun, meaning above the sky, is no longer enough to describe your achievements. I think we can change the country’s name to mean above the heavens… Lingtian!”

“Permission granted!”

On that day, the emperor was overjoyed and issued an order to change the country’s name from Lingyun to Lingtian. It would be renamed to Lingtian Divine Kingdom. At the same time, they would hold the ancestral worship ceremony to worship their ancestors and make a new start, so as to show off the authority and dignity of Lingtian Divine Kingdom!

Everything was in full swing. Even though some people objected, they consciously suppressed their opinions under such circumstances.

Ever since the Lingyun Emperor… No, ever since the Lingtian Emperor attained the Deity Realm, his prestige had grown stronger day by day. Even those old ministers who had supported him for many years found it difficult to remonstrate with the current emperor like how they did before.

Time passed quickly. It was soon the day of the ancestral worship ceremony.

On this day, countless experts flew across the sky and arrived outside the imperial capital early in the morning. One could see that the great array formation of the imperial capital had been fully activated. At the same time, there were divine beings from the Heaven Supervising Bureau in horse carriages, patrolling back and forth to avoid any possible incidents.

Nothing must go wrong with the ancestral worship ceremony!

“It’s about time. Based on my previous experience, if I’m not wrong, the mastermind should already be on the way…”

This was in a corner of the imperial capital. The emperor, who was supposed to be the main character today, stood in front of a black-haired young man. The black-haired young man spoke calmly, but the corners of the emperor’s mouth twitched. “State Preceptor… After you shave your beard, you’re really younger than I imagined.”

He suddenly recalled the last time when he had a long conversation with Feng Xia. The other party had said that he was only in his 20s or 30s…

“Can it be that what the State Preceptor said is actually true?” This thought flashed through the emperor’s mind. “If what he said is true, then perhaps there is an extremely terrifying existence supporting the State Preceptor. With such an identity, why would he want to help Lingyun Kingdom…”

“Age doesn’t define achievements.”

Feng Xia flicked his sleeves and said with a faint smile, “It’s time, Your Majesty. We’ve prepared for so long. It’s time to… completely eliminate that person!”

“That’s right. It’s time to give that person a big surprise.”

The emperor’s spirits were instantly lifted. Then, he thought of something and looked at Feng Xia hesitantly. “State Preceptor, do you still remember what you said before?”

Feng Xia frowned. “I’ve had kidney deficiency since I was young and my vital Yang energy is lacking?”

“No! Before that!”

“I have an 80-year-old mother…”

“Your mother is not as old as that! Cough, cough, cough… I’m talking about what the State Preceptor once mentioned. That I’m the biggest suspect when it comes to the mastermind…”

“Yes, even now, my suspicions have never lessened.”

Seeing Feng Xia’s attitude, the emperor’s tone became calmer.

He looked straight at Feng Xia and their eyes met. In an instant, they understood what each other meant.

...

“State Preceptor, if I am really the mastermind and have done something so unreasonable, please take action… and restore peace to the world!”

“Your subject… obeys your order.”

…

On this day.

The Heavenly Emperor changed the country’s name to Lingtian in the first year of the Lingtian Calendar. As soon as the country’s name appeared, the myriad Daos of heaven and earth seemed to sense it. Endless divine light and divine clouds gushed out. Purple energy lined the distance from the east for 3,000 miles, illuminating the heavens and manifesting the eternal divine intent.

This was an auspicious sign.

Under everyone’s gaze, the Heavenly Emperor worshiped at the ancestral temple and ascended the throne for the second time.

However, at this moment, the ancestral temple deep in the palace suddenly exploded, turning into a bottomless black hole that devoured the entire palace.

The roars of all kinds of monsters came from the black hole. It was indescribable and incomprehensible. Many people who heard it almost went crazy on the spot.

The main mastermind that had crossed thousands of years finally appeared on this day. He blocked out the sun and the moon, and almost turned the entire imperial capital into a demonic territory!

“The people of Lingyun… offend the authority of the heavens… violate the laws of the heavens…”

...

“You shall be destroyed without mercy.”
