810 Two Celestial Empresses (1/2)

The writings on the wall mentioned that Celestial Empress had gone down to the lower bound to visit her ancestral land, yet she didn't return after a long time. Celestial Emperor had ordered the Left Feathered Forest Guards to head to the Ruins of End to fetch Celestial Empress back to the celestial heavens.

After some days, the Left Feathered Forest Guards sent a memorial to Celestial Emperor saying Dragon Count Country near Guixu was rebelling. The power of Dragon Count Country was strong, and they had taken over the Ruins of End, trapping Celestial Empress. They had requested His Majesty send reinforcements forward to quell the rebellion.

And so Celestial Emperor ordered the Right Feathered Forest Guards forward to quell the rebellion. However, just when the Right Feathered Forest Guards had left, the Left Feathered Forest Guards sent another memorial to Celestial Emperor saying that Celestial Empress was assaulted and had suffered rather heavy injuries.

Celestial Emperor added a decree to let the Right Feathered Forest Guards investigate how Celestial Empress was assaulted.

As the Right Commander of the Feathered Forest Guards, he led the Right Feathered Forest Guards and hurried to the Ruins of End to work with the Left Feathered Forest Guards. They defeated Dragon Count Country and seized King Dragon Count. Dragon Count Country surrendered.

Celestial Empress' injuries had also mostly recovered, and she planned to nurse her injuries before returning back to the celestial heavens.

However, something happened that night. The undercurrent in the abyss of the Ruins of End burst forth and turned the sky as dark as night. No moon or stars could be seen.

Peculiarities came out of the abyss together, and the hearts of the gods were in fear. They couldn't sleep the entire night.

When the undercurrent stopped, it was already daybreak, and the soldiers found Celestial Empress' corpse on Square Jar Mountain. In the side palace, all of the maids were killed, and even the Left Commander of the Feathered Forest Guards had died outside the palace.

Wei Suifeng seized the Eighth Dragon King of Dragon Count Country and ordered him to guard the coffin of Celestial Empress. He then ordered soldiers to investigate what had happened that night and to find out the cause of Celestial Empress' death.

There was a soldier who said he had seen two Celestial Empresses at night, and there was also a soldier who said the abyss of the Ruins of End had spewed out devil gods to assassinate Celestial Empress.

Wei Suifeng's investigation found no success. He immediately transferred the coffin of Celestial Empress onto the ship and escorted King Dragon Count back to the celestial heavens.

They sailed in the reverse direction of the Celestial River's flow and reached Yuandu after several months.

The Celestial River floated above Yuandu, and there was suddenly heavy fog on the river. Reports from an official said a woman was casting a spell in the center of the river.

The writings on the wall ended here, and there was only a confusing sentence was left behind. ”I've come from the Ruins of End and returned to the past when I met this woman. I visited the wonders of the past and searched for the riddles of history. I think I should extinguish the lantern and return.”

”Dragon Count Country!”

Ancestral Dragon King suddenly cried out. ”Legends say that Dragon Count Country was one of the earliest appearances of the dragon race! It was a country formed by divine dragons born from heaven and earth. Rumors say that it was a country of giant dragons formed by heavenly dragons born from the dragon veins of the ancient celestial heavens! The dragons there were ten thousand yards tall and possessed boundless divine power. King Dragon Count was even the first divine dragon in this world. I originally thought these were only rumors, I didn't expect Dragon Count Country to truly exist!”

”Could that old dragon from earlier, who was merged together with the building, be King Dragon Count?” asked a half-god who was beside him.

Ancestral Dragon King was stunned, and he shook his head. ”It shouldn't be. Rumors say that King Dragon Count was one of the strongest existences, how could he merge with this ship, it's definitely not him.”

Suddenly, a youth close by put his hands behind his back and said leisurely, ”Dragon Count was seized and suppressed on the ship. Later, this ship vanished from the Celestial River, so that crazy old dragon might really be Dragon Count.”

Ancestral Dragon King's long dragon's beard floated, and he asked unpleasantly, ”And you are?”

That youth said with a slight smile, ”I'm from the celestial heavens.”

Ancestral Dragon King frowned and sneered. ”The celestial heavens? The Crimson Light Era has a celestial heavens, the High Emperor Era also has two to three with celestial emperors changing one after another. Which celestial heavens are you from?”

That youth chuckled and said, ”Ancestral Dragon King, your ancestor refers to himself as Dragon Count to show that he is an ancient god on the same level as Earth Count, Heaven Duke, and Mother Earth. Yet, never did he expect to still be seized by the Feathered Forest Guards of the celestial heavens, how embarrassing. In that case, why are you still trying to hold him in high regard?”

Ancestral Dragon King's expression dimmed, and his murderous aura burst forth.

That youth didn't mind him. Two gods behind him suddenly walked forward and protected him in the middle.

The youth waved his hands and said, ”Demon dragon of the lower bound. He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, so it can be forgiven, there's no need to bother about him. What makes me interested is that in this incident recorded by the Right Commander, there were two Celestial Empresses when Celestial Empress was assaulted.”

He revealed a playful smile and said, ”However, Celestial Empress always existed in the celestial heavens, and there's no news of her death. What is the reason? On this ship, is the Celestial Empress' corpse in the coffin really Celestial Empress? Could there be other secrets? The celestial empress in the celestial heavens...”

The two gods beside him had worried expression, and they lowered their voices. ”Your Highness, there are many ears here, you can't talk about the existence in the palace.”

That youth said with a smile, ”The incident regarding the real and fake Celestial Empress is important. If Celestial Empress died here, it would be truly strange if she's still in the celestial heavens. Since the coffin of Celestial Empress is on this ship, let us just find it and find out for ourselves...”

He didn't continue talking. He must also have been afraid of people being nosy.

”The emperor's family is so dirty,” Feng Qiuyun sneered and said in a low voice.

That youth looked at her and said leisurely, ”Maid of Mother Earth, Feng Qiuyun? Which family of Mother Earth do you think is clean?”

Feng Qiuyun sneered and didn't reply to him.

Crimson Light Son of God said with a smile, ”This prince is from the extraterritorial celestial heavens? May I know how to address you?”

”Crimson Light Son of God who hides in the floating world and doesn't dare to show himself?”

That youth smiled and said, ”I've heard that Crimson Light Son of God has borne the luck and fate of the entire Crimson Light Era, yet why are you still so mediocre and incompetent?”

Crimson Light Son of God wore purple, and his expression didn't change when he heard that. He just replied with a smile, ”There's no Crimson Light Son of God in this world. I merely adopted the title to give a little hope to my clansmen, so that they don't sink into despair.”

That youth suddenly felt respect and said, ”For Son of God to tell me the truth, your breadth of mind is truly wide, and you deserve the title of Crimson Light Son of God. I am Prince Qiu Ming of the celestial heavens, nice to meet you, Crimson Light Son of God.”

Crimson Light Son of God returned the greeting.

Village Chief frowned. He looked at the people in the building and had a bad feeling in his heart.
