Chapter 894: Chapter 250: He Walked Through History and Witnessed Myth

However, for Li Yuan, this is an unprecedentedly distant and dark path.

The Divine Tomb was no longer in its original place, but had slid westward.

Slid to an unknown location. If it weren’t for Glacial Xiaozhao to guide the way, Li Yuan wouldn’t have been able to find it.

But even when Glacial Xiaozhao arrived, she told Li Yuan that it would still take half a month’s journey.

Because the Divine Tomb had already slid to a place she didn’t know.

Li Yuan spoke no more, he continued westward.

He moved at an extremely fast pace, even faster than Glacial Xiaozhao.

And one day, the "ugly child" no longer a Human Emperor behind him suddenly called out: "Father..."

"Ah..."

Li Yuan responded.

...

In the Imperial Central Capital at this moment, some hailed the death of the Tyrant, while many more were swept into an unprecedented palace upheaval.

"Grand General" Xie Feng was dead.

The thirty thousand Hanzhou Iron Cavalry were not by his side.

And the murderer who killed Xie Feng was an assassin who struck from behind, for this murderer was a family elder sent by the Ying Family, he had long planned it, waiting for Xie Feng to approach before launching a swift sneak attack, piercing Xie Feng’s heart.

Though Xie Feng was a Martial Fool, since becoming a Grand General, he had spent years researching military strategies, busy with family affairs, and had neglected martial arts.

He could command thirty thousand Sixth Grade powerhouses to form an array, creating a terrifying force capable of suppressing the world, but he himself was still only Fifth Grade.

With a broken heart, it’s impossible to survive.

And after the sneak attack, that Ying Family elder also failed to escape, he was killed by the powerhouse travelling with Xie Feng who reacted.

Of course, this Ying Family elder was an insider support from the He Family.

The Ying Family was immersed in the sorrow and joy of their Clan Leader being executed, but their Crown Prince able to ascend the throne, not realizing that the He Family was like a snake, fiercely biting towards them.

Ji Yong’s statement "Enforce maritime prohibition, no Martial Artists allowed eastward" became the He Family’s best weapon.

The Xingwang had been surrounded by heavy troops early on, while Lady Xingwang had been carefully arranged in the Prince’s Mansion.

The He Family staged a textbook coup, an imperial decree.

The Ying Clan, He Clan, Xie Clan, all were busy competing for imperial power, no one cared about the Tyrant who had died somewhere unknown, nor cared what changes were happening in this world.

...

Above Yellow Springs, the coffin still swayed amidst the muddy waves...

The vast Underworld was heading towards a deeper realm, seemingly to completely sever from the Human World.

So-called "Severing the connection between Heaven and Earth", perhaps this is it.

Without the Underworld, Yang Qi naturally won’t converge here anymore.

The Great Unity of Yin Yang will dissolve.

But there’s one last thing missing...

That portion is in the hands of another person.

In the pitch-black, unlit, Yin Qi dense coffin, Lady Yama’s porcelain white face still gazed emptily into the distance.

She had been looking for many years, and now that expressionless face suddenly showed some activity, as one hand hanging coldly at the bottom of the coffin moved, then slowly lifted upward, higher and higher, before clutching the neck of the female ghost on her body, slowly... slowly... strangling fiercely.

The Eternal Night stretching east quietly halted its expansion, as if reaching the limit, then began inching back...

Li Yuan kept running, urging the Human Emperor to hold on.

But this path was truly too far, too far.

Li Yuan had never traversed such a distant road.

On this path, only he remained.

Only coldness and darkness remained.

Oblivious to the monumental changes occurring in the Imperial Capital, he carried the Human Emperor.

...

The Crown Prince has died.

The Second Prince Ji He stretched his arms out with a smile, slipping them into the golden Nine Dragon Robe.

He turned, entered the Imperial Palace Hall, and walked toward the high Dragon Throne.

The throne felt cold.

Therefore, only one cold-blooded enough is deemed worthy of it.

Before rising to power, Ji He was intent on killing the Crown Prince, but now, gazing upon the throne, he felt innumerable troubles rushing toward him.

Days later.

Historians discussed the posthumous title.

The Human Emperor was strong, repelled the Southern Barbarians, re-unified the land, deservedly a Saint Monarch, but later became cruel, killing many officials and Martial Artists, while the common people suffered under his reign, with constant disasters and national turmoil.

"Let’s call him Wu Lie then."

Though the new Emperor despised the Tyrant, he didn’t give him a negative posthumous title, but rather a rare dual title, considered honorable.

The historians reached an agreement, no dissent.

Thus, "Emperor Wu Lie of Zhou" became this Human Emperor’s title.

And as this title was set, long-lost sunlight shone on lands submerged by Eternal Night.

Ice and snow began to melt, turning into gentle streams, soaking the earth and sand...

However, these matters in history books have nothing to do with Emperor Wu Lie of Zhou.

A few strokes of chronicles decide an Emperor’s accomplishments.

...

...

Li Yuan quickened his step, and at the end of his vision, he finally saw the entrance to the tomb encircled by dense, giant black ice pillars, here was an unknown place.

"We’ve arrived! We’ve arrived!"

He shouted, "Don’t sleep, don’t sleep!"

He ran towards the Divine Tomb, at the entrance, crows flapped their wings, flying out.

But, Li Yuan suddenly halted.

He glanced aside.

The elder was already dead.

This journey was too long, even the Human Emperor couldn’t survive.

Crows landed, Li Yuan quietly looked at the elder.

White hair hung quietly in the icy cold Eternal Night.
