"Welcome, Lord Burial Emperor."
Zhang Fanchen was the first to react, quickly and respectfully speaking.
The others followed suit, shouting in unison, their voices trembling slightly with fear of Mu Changqing.
Chaos Green Lotus's expression was a little complex; she was well aware of the terrifying battle that had occurred in the chaos.
From then on, facing Mu Changqing, she felt nothing but fear.
It was Empress Xuanyue, however, who remained cool and collected, merely nodding slightly to show her respect.
Mu Changqing paid them no mind, his gaze falling on Zhang Fanchen as he spoke.
"Zhang Fanchen, lead the Heavenly Court cultivators and commence the conquest of all realms. Suppress the heavens and earth. Those who do not comply, their worlds shall be annihilated. I want the entirety of the myriad realms to belong to the Heavenly Court."
As the indifferent words echoed, a flicker of joy and hatred crossed Zhang Fanchen's face.
Hatred from the Demon Realm.
He had longed for this day, had been waiting for the chance to return to the Demon Realm and exact revenge.
"Yes, Lord Burial Emperor."
Donning the imperial robes of the Heavenly Emperor, Zhang Fanchen kowtowed and accepted the command.
"Other cultivators, assist Zhang Fanchen with all your might. Those with ill intentions shall be killed without mercy."
As he spoke, Mu Changqing's figure faded away.
Since these primordial beings enjoyed hiding within the myriad realms, he would unify them all.
If the Heavenly Dao liked to play with fortune and destiny, he would defy its will.
After Mu Changqing departed, the others dared to straighten up, their gazes filled with fear.
The moment Mu Changqing descended, they felt as though their lives were entirely within his control.
This was the supreme might of the taboo of the Emperor's Fall.
Yuan Datou stood up, rubbed his bald head, and with a look of awe and adoration, said,
"My admiration for the Lord is like a ceaseless, rolling river, and like..."
Zhang Fanchen stood up, a look of disdain on his face, and interrupted.
"Enough. His Lordship is gone. Save your flattery for another time."
Hearing this, Yuan Datou pouted, a look of regret on his face.
Just moments ago, he had been so intimidated by Mu Changqing's terrifying aura that he hadn't dared to speak a word.
Regaining his stern demeanor, Zhang Fanchen stood at the front, hands behind his back, and declared loudly.
"Everyone, the decree of Lord Burial Emperor is clear. From this day forward, we shall proclaim to the myriad realms: the Heavenly Court's army will set foot in every great realm. Those who do not submit shall have their worlds annihilated."
"Notify all forces in the Heavenly Realm to assemble their armies and stand ready to depart, commencing the war of conquest across all realms."
Under the immense blessing of fortune, Zhang Fanchen, though only at the ordinary Immortal King realm, could now contend against powerful Immortal Kings.
Coupled with the many Immortal Kings from the Demon Race, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor protector of the Southern Demon, and the two primordial beings.
Unifying the heavens was merely a matter of time.
If any primordial beings dared to resist, Mu Changqing would personally descend and suppress them.
Thus, an era changed.
The age of great prosperity gave way to an era of upheaval and chaos.
Upon the Heavenly Court's proclamation, the myriad realms were shaken.
Some submitted, while others raged with defiance, refusing to believe that the Heavenly Court dared to act against the heavens, committing acts that angered all beings and incurred the wrath of man, slaughtering entire great realms.
However, as the surging armies of the Heavenly Court descended, the purification and reckoning officially began.
Innumerable chosen ones, those blessed with great fortune, were forcefully suppressed by powerful cultivators.
No matter how many opportunities and blessings they possessed, facing absolute power, they had no chance to use their trump cards or escape.
Whether it was the old man in their bodies, the reincarnation of a powerful being, or ancient prodigies sealed for millions of years, or even transmigrators, all were suppressed.
The Heavenly Court's actions left no loose ends.
Even against cultivators of mortal realms, Immortal Kings were deployed, obliterating them into dust with terrifying power.
Chaos descended, with the Heavenly Court as the source, its blood staining the heavens.
Countless beings were caught in the crossfire, and innumerable innocent lives were lost.
The war raged on, and the Heavenly Court's conquest of all realms lasted for a full thousand years.
During these years, the Heavenly Court naturally encountered formidable obstacles. Sleeping Quasi-Immortal Emperors awoke, their presence illuminating the heavens.
The brilliance of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor swept through, instantly annihilating dozens of Heavenly Court Immortal King powerhouses.
However, the terrifying might of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor lasted only a few breaths before being suppressed by a colossal green lotus that blotted out the sky, turning it into nothingness.
From then on, powerful cultivators in the myriad realms either chose to submit, or to flee to the edges of the heavens, or to forbidden lands.
Over the past thousand years, countless great realms were shattered, turning into ruins floating in the cosmic sea.
Broken continents, like meteors, drifted aimlessly.
Many once-great Imperial Clans, Immortal Dynasties, and ancient holy races became history, no longer existing in the world.
The current era had irrevocably entered its most terrifying phase.
The heavens and earth cracked, galaxies shattered, the Great Dao wailed, and a pall of gloom descended.
Whether you were a peerless prodigy or an ancient holy son.
All were slain under the Heavenly Court's conquest.
A thousand years later.
The Heavenly Court's fortune reached an unprecedented peak. The decay of the myriad realms' fortunes had forged the current era of the Heavenly Court's dominance.
Zhang Fanchen, in a thousand years, had ascended to the realm of a Great Immortal King, and with the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, could contend against Immortal Emperors.
Yuan Datou and others also stepped into the Great Immortal King realm one after another.
In this era, Immortal Kings seemed to have become commonplace.
The Heavenly Court boasted thousands of Immortal Kings.
Even the number of Quasi-Immortal Emperors reached a terrifying double-digit figure.
The fortunes of the myriad realms had all converged into the Heavenly Court.
The heavens and earth were suppressed, and none dared to disobey.
Mu Changqing, over a thousand years, had slain six possessors of Primordial Violet Qi, finally gathering the amount needed for Yin Yin's transformation.
On this day, Mu Changqing floated in the boundless starry sky, with Yin Yin by his side.
After absorbing nine strands of Primordial Violet Qi, Yin Yin underwent an ultimate transformation.
A profound and ineffable Dao rhyme emanated from her, and a halo of violet light enveloped her.
Her pair of bright, expressive eyes had completely turned pure violet, and every movement influenced the order of heaven and earth.
She now spoke less and less, and no longer cried out for food all day.
Her eyes, so similar to Mu Changqing's, were intimidating to behold, captivating the soul.
A strange violet glow flashed in Mu Changqing's eyes, and his heart was filled with longing for Yin Yin. He gently stroked her head, his expression exceptionally tender.
Yin Yin sensed it, raised her head, and her face, devoid of its former innocent smile, spoke with a slightly cold voice.
"Big Brother, do you want to eat Yin Yin?"
Mu Changqing was not surprised by her words.
He was now telepathically connected with Yin Yin, and some things needed no explanation.
"Don't worry, not for now. The time is not yet right."
After a pause, Mu Changqing spoke again, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
In an instant, the entire myriad realms inexplicably felt a tremor of dread.
"Yin Yin, some grudges from the Emperor's Fall need to be settled, don't you agree."
Yin Yin nodded thoughtfully, her gaze fixed on some unknown location.
"Big Brother, I know what you're thinking. Go. It's hiding there."
As she spoke, Yin Yin pointed towards the depths of the starry sky.
There, only endless darkness and coldness resided.
Yet, a faint, chilling, and suffocating eerie glow emanated from it.
"Ancient Land of Reincarnation, three thousand fallen emperors, have you prepared yourselves? Wash your necks, I am coming."
As the words fell, Mu Changqing waved his hand and absorbed Yin Yin into his body.
He then took a single step, his figure disappearing into the boundless depths of the starry sky.
