1005 Dutians Dream (2/2)

As his military exploits increased, he was promoted to General of Guide Commandery.

This day, the Celestial Venerables descended upon the Land of the Great Void, preparing to encircle and suppress the masters of creation with their full might, fighting their way into Carefree Village.

The crown prince and the three councilors handed over their military authority and gloriously brought him back to the celestial heavens to receive his rewards.

Celestial Emperor personally met and rewarded him. When he asked Dutian Devil King what he wanted, Dutian Devil King knelt and said, \”I would like a heaven for my people to settle in.\”

Celestial Emperor and hundreds of officials and gods burst into laughter. \”My beloved official, you have provided meritorious service, yet you only ask for a heaven, truly honest.\” Hence, Celestial Emperor rewarded him with countless treasures, two additional heavens, and promoted him to the rank of Marquis.

The name Dutian Devil King permeated all levels of society. As he prepared to head towards Celestial Venerable Mu's residence for a visit, the crown prince summoned him. He told him, \”Celestial Venerable Mu has intentions to rebel. His Majesty has tolerated him for a long time, but he couldn't get a handle on him. Since you used to be on good terms with him, he won't be guarded when you are there. Take this imperial seal and robes and hide them in his residence. After you do this, I will go forward and search his place. When I uncover these items, I will slap him with the crime of treason and execute him! By doing this, His Majesty will be able to rest with an easy mind.\”

Dutian Devil King was stunned and didn't dare to accept the imperial seal and robes.

\”Are you worried about your people? Dutian, after you've killed Celestial Venerable Mu, your people will still belong to you.\”

Crown Prince Ming Ya's expression sank as he laughed coldly. \”Don't forget, you have a debt of gratitude to me for being your patron, elevating you to where you are today. It's time you repaid your debt!\”

Dutian Devil King knelt as he said, \”Your Highness, I have a debt of gratitude to you, but I owe a mountain of gratitude to Celestial Venerable Mu. It may be fine if I don't repay my debt, but I can't bite the hand that fed me. I humbly request that Your Highness retracts your order!\”

Crown Prince Ming Ya was furious. He slammed the table as he stood up, angrily saying, \”I need to charge Celestial Venerable Mu with a crime before killing him, but it's not the same for you! Dutian, I'm giving you two options. One, take a trip up to the God Execution Stage. Two, bring the imperial seal and robes to Celestial Venerable Mu's residence. You choose!\”

Dutian Devil King's mind was blank as a sense of struggle arose in his heart. After some time, he said, \”I'm willing to get on the God Execution Stage.\”

The crown prince flicked his sleeves and said, \”Then you shall die!\”

Dutian Devil King knelt on the God Execution Stage in a daze as he thought of the encounters throughout his life. He thought to himself ruefully, 'My people are with Celestial Venerable Mu, they should be fine…'

Two blades of knife light flashed past as his head fell. His primordial spirit was also killed as his soul dispersed, unable to enter Youdu.

Everything in front of him turned pitch-black.

At this moment, he could hear calls from the girl called Yan'er beside his ear. Dutian Devil King quickly opened his eyes and looked around. Seemingly in a daze, he muttered, \”Where is this place?\”

\”Dutian, how did you manage to fall asleep in front of the Celestial Venerable Residence?\”

Yan'er laughed as she said, \”Master has let you through?\”

Dutian Devil King asked blankly, \”Am I dead? Where am I? Where is the God Execution Stage? What about Crown Prince Ming Ya?\”

Yan'er burst out laughing. \”What God Execution Stage? This is the residence of Celestial Venerable Mu! There is no Crown Prince Ming Ya here. I heard he has fled, and no one knows where he is. I just went to meet Master with Fatty Dragon, and Master instructed me to come out and get you. Unexpectedly, you fell asleep here.\”

Dutian Devil King stood up and was still a little dazed. The sun was shining brightly as he surveyed his surroundings. This was indeed the residence of Celestial Venerable Mu in the celestial heavens' Jade Capital City. The people who walked through here a thousand years ago were still nearby. It was as though only a short while had passed.

However, his dream was a thousand years long. He had experienced countless battles in the Great Void and even returned to the capital victorious to be rewarded by Celestial Emperor. Ultimately, he was escorted up the God Execution Stage!

Yan'er guided him into the residence as she said, \”You are probably too tired from your arduous journey. Master doesn't like people to kneel to him. You must not do so when you see him. What sort of spirit pills do you take?\”

Dutian Devil King shook his head and said, \”I don't take spirit pills.\”

Regardless, Yan'er shoved one at him. After tasting it, he found it to be rather delicious.

\”Sister Yan'er, I fell asleep just now, and unknowingly, a thousand years passed in my dream. The dream was so vivid, it was actually more real than reality.\”

Dutian Devil King followed her, eating the spirit pill as he talked about his dream state. \”When I woke up from my dream, I felt like I had lived another life. Now I don't know whether I was dreaming in that dream or am dreaming now.\”

\”You were dreaming just now, and you are now awake.\”

Yan'er couldn't help but chuckle. \”Whatever happened in your dream, how could it be real? For instance, you were a Marquis in your dream and had cultivated the Jade Capital Realm. Now, you are just at the Jade Pavilion Realm. If the things in your dream did indeed happen, you should be able to break through to the God Execution Stage Realm easily.\”

Just as she finished talking, Dutian Devil King's aura suddenly exploded. A primordial spirit was actually standing on his celestial palace's God Execution Stage, having survived the trials of the God Execution Stage!

Yan'er got a fright as she cried out, \”How did you manage to do that?\”

Dutian Devil King's four faces were utterly shocked. He was at a loss as he muttered, \”I simply followed what I comprehended in my dream. Strangely, I managed to achieve a breakthrough… Sister Yan'er, was it really a dream?\”

Yan'er pondered for a while before saying, \”It must be that your accumulation was sufficient. That's why you could break through easily and reach the God Execution Stage. Why don't you try again and see if you can enter the Jade Capital City of your celestial palace?\”

Dutian Devil King gave it a try and shook his head. \”I'm unable to enter.\”

Yan'er smiled. \”That's it. You haven't accumulated enough. Hence, it was just a dream. Master, Dutian is here.\”

Qin Mu was in the garden in front of them and was bantering with Divine King Lang Wo and Yun Chuxiu. The dragon qilin was lying on the ground beside them, a small bottle hanging from his neck. That was the Bottle of Flask World.

Qin Mu turned around and laughed. \”Old Brother Dutian, I have given it some thought. I'm unfamiliar with your people of the devil race. If I help you take care of them, it would require much time and effort on my part. It's best if you don't go to the Great Void and instead stay behind to take care of them.\”

Dutian Devil King wanted to kneel down but remembered Yan'er's reminder. He then bowed and said, \”Many thanks to Celestial Venerable.\”

\”It's better to just call me Cult Master.\”

Qin Mu smiled ambiguously as he said, \”You said that you would repay your debt of gratitude to me in your next life. You are living in your next life now.\”

Dutian Devil King's mind was blown. He could only look at him, dumbfounded, but he saw him starting to tease the two fair and adorable girls.

He was in a muddle-headed state. 'Isn't that something from the dream?'
