Chapter 734: Chapter 45: Opening Heaven and Earth, Emperor Hao Proves the Dao

"According to what you’re saying, hasn’t he already failed in his pathfinding?"

Xiluo scratched her head in confusion, her gaze shifting between Li Boyang and the "Kunlun Mirror".

With the early return of the Lord of the Netherworld, the connection between the "Ascension Stairs" and the Celestial Emperor’s Capital was forcibly severed. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Currently, the "Ascension Stairs" links to the Netherworld, while the Celestial Emperor’s Capital has become a dying Blessed Cave Heaven outside of both realms.

Without the supplementation of current Primordial Qi and resources, the demise of the Celestial Emperor’s Capital is only a matter of time.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Hao could not possibly use the Celestial Emperor’s Capital to ascend, nor transform it into a Third Realm like the Six Desire Heavens.

"Theoretically, that is indeed the case."

"But from the reality at hand, he has clearly prepared an alternate plan."

Almost as if affirming Li Boyang’s words, Emperor Hao within the "Kunlun Mirror" smiled slightly.

The next moment, the chaos surrounding Emperor Hao began to transform.

It was no longer pure order but a myriad transformations born of order.

Chaos initially divides, and heaven and earth first open.

In the vast distance, the originally chaotic spacetime was illuminated by a great sun.

That great sun was the center of the world, the pillar of heaven and earth, dividing the entire chaotic space into two.

Under the sun’s radiation, the chaos evolved into clear and turbid Qi.

The clear Qi rose to form heaven, the turbid Qi sank to form earth.

"Opening Heaven and Earth!?"

Xiluo’s eyes widened suddenly, her voice involuntarily trembling.

For what Emperor Hao was doing now was precisely opening heaven and earth, creating myriad phenomena.

Not relying on the current world and Netherworld, forcibly evolving into a semi-independent Blessed Cave Heaven.

But opening heaven and earth from desolate chaos, evolving from nothing to a world equal to the current world and Netherworld.

"Wait... you just mentioned another world... does that mean..."

Like suddenly realizing something, when Xiluo looked at the "Kunlun Mirror" again, her gaze had changed profoundly.

"Can this Kunlun Mirror go to the world he is currently creating!?"

When Xiluo noticed Li Boyang’s approving gaze, her mind flashed back to the words he’d spoken earlier.

"Past, present, and future are the existing spacetime, the known spacetime."

"While the world he’s creating now is a completely independent, separate spacetime not belonging to the past, present, or future."

Murmuring softly, Xiluo’s gaze became distant.

For she suddenly detected a more outrageous possibility—or perhaps reality.

"That world is not the Celestial Emperor’s Capital, it doesn’t belong to the current world and Netherworld."

"It’s not in the past, not in the present, not in the future, and naturally not under the jurisdiction of the ’Creation Jade Disc’."

"No, if that world lacks the ’Creation Jade Disc’, does it even have the ’River of Time’?"

As the daze in her eyes gradually turned into realization, Xiluo’s eyes began to shine brightly.

"The new world has no ’River of Time’..."

"Its existence is solely in the present, without a ’past’ or ’future’."

"In other words, if you ascend in such a new world, the path you ascend proves to be naturally eternal."

"Just as those ascended before the ’River of Time’ was born, like Babe in this world."

For the first time, Emperor Hao looked at Xiluo without disdain or neglect in his eyes.

"You’re right, as long as I succeed in opening heaven and earth, the path I ascend in this world is the eternal path."

"Once the ’River of Time’ emerges, my ascended path will naturally extend into the future of this world with the ’River of Time’."

"This is what I mean by proving once to prove forever."

"A more thorough proving forever than depending on the ’Creation Jade Disc’."

Opening heaven and earth is merely the first step in Emperor Hao’s pathfinding.

He aims to create the most primitive environment for pathfinding, a primordial world before the ’River of Time’ emerges.

As Li Boyang said earlier, Emperor Hao is not merely imitating him but is trying to surpass him.

As for the inspiration for this approach?

"Outer Heaven? Purple Cloud Palace?"

Focusing her gaze on Emperor Hao in the "Kunlun Mirror", Xiluo recalled the gathering place of pathfinders that similarly transcended time.

Clearly, it was from there that Emperor Hao drew his inspiration.

This prepared him with such a risky yet rewarding backup plan.

To open a new world in chaos outside of both realms, specifically for his pathfinding.

"Seems like you do have some brains..."

Before Emperor Hao could finish speaking, he saw Li Boyang opening the third eye on his brow.

Under the Celestial Eye’s intimidation, Emperor Hao silently swallowed the words that hadn’t left his mouth.

Although he did not believe Li Boyang could cross worlds to attack him.

But Emperor Hao also recognized the times, understanding there was no necessity to offend a Tao Ancestor for a moment’s careless words.

Yet in his mind, Emperor Hao silently raised the importance level of Xiluo once more.

"To be honest, if it hadn’t been for Lord of the Mansion forcing my hand, I might not have had the resolve to take this step."

No longer engaging in lengthy discussions with Xiluo, Emperor Hao redirected his attention to Li Boyang.

"As early as eight hundred years ago, when the ’Ascension Stairs’ were forcibly closed..."

"I realized that the Lord of the Mansion might have detected my original plan."

"But the Lord of the Mansion also wanted to see what extent I could achieve, hence did not intervene further."

"Until the Jinhong Clan forcefully intruded into the Celestial Emperor’s Capital, He realized my subsequent actions would irreparably harm the current world and Netherworld."

"So He patched things up, not only severing the Celestial Emperor’s Capital but also trying to repel those pathfinders who continued interfering."

On this note, Emperor Hao’s expression showed clear disdain.

"Sentimental and indecisive..."

"That’s a major reason why, although the Lord of the Mansion was born much earlier than you and me, He’s still stagnant."

"Like this time, He clearly wanted to know how to prove once to prove forever, yet obstructed my path at the crucial moment."

"Fortunately, I was prepared for this, even without the Celestial Emperor’s Capital, without seizing the power of other pathfinders, I’ve taken the most critical step."

"Though this is much riskier than my initial plan, the rewards are equally immense."

"In this newborn world, I can not only remold time like you but also become an Ancient One like the Lord of the Mansion."

Watching Emperor Hao brimming with confidence, Li Boyang hadn’t spoken yet, but Xiluo’s expression turned peculiar.

"Newborn world? Are you referring to them?"

Following Xiluo’s pointed direction, Emperor Hao’s original prideful expression froze momentarily.

——Clear Qi rises to form heaven, turbid Qi sinks to form earth.

——Heaven and earth separate into Yin and Yang as universe, all things transform into cosmos.

However, the heaven and earth Emperor Hao created formed heaven and earth, yet this heaven and earth remained completely still.

The myriad phenomena of heaven and earth showed no change or flow, the split chaos merely maintained a rigid, fixed order.

Even the sun shining upon heaven and earth showed no signs of vitality or energy.

This was a dead silent heaven and earth, a world more tranquil than the Netherworld.

Yet amid the deathly silence and chaos, the disturbed chaos mingled with order, forming a kind of chaotic Celestial Disaster.
