Chapter 783: Chapter 38: One Day in Heaven, One Year on Earth (Happy New Year!)

In the boundless and desolate starry sky.

After Li Boyang shattered the Taixu Star with the Eight-direction Sword, he did not leave immediately.

"Come out, Emperor Ziwei!"

"Or do you want me to force you out in another way?"

As he spoke, the eight swords around Li Boyang flew simultaneously, faintly showing signs of penetrating the River of Time.

In this situation, the Emperor Ziwei, hiding behind the Taixu Star Monarch, couldn’t hold back any longer and began to interfere with this starry sky across distant time and space.

"Eastern Monarch, I’ve always had no grudge against you, why do you want to be my enemy?"

A low voice echoed in the starry sky, and Emperor Ziwei’s projection faintly appeared in front of Li Boyang.

It was a projection descending from a distant future, carrying no power of its own.

"You used the power of Taixu Star Monarch to forcibly pull me into this starry sky..."

"And now you question why I’m your enemy?"

With a half-smile, Li Boyang glanced at Emperor Ziwei, completely unfazed by his ostentatious bluff.

"If you are not my enemy, then why are you helping Di Jun guard the remains of the Taiyi Star?"

Apparently not knowing that the true body of the Eastern Monarch is Li Boyang, Emperor Ziwei is merely stating what he sees.

When the Taiyi Star was first born, Emperor Ziwei had already set his sights on it.

The Taiyi Star was the embodiment of Taiyi, taken over by Di Jun, the then-Lord of All Celestial Stars.

Emperor Ziwei wanted to rewrite the origin, to light the Ziwei Star in this era, but first, the Taiyi Star, which served as the "Emperor Star," had to fall.

It can be said that the fall of the Taiyi Star was not solely Di Jun’s doing, but Emperor Ziwei also played a significant role behind the scenes.

However, when Emperor Ziwei wanted to reap the "spoils of war," the remains of the Taiyi Star suddenly disappeared.

Unaware of the contention between the Tao Ancestor and Taiyi, Emperor Ziwei merely assumed that Di Jun had hidden those remains.

Since then, Emperor Ziwei and Di Jun became arch-enemies.

In countless years since, Di Jun was always in opposition to Emperor Ziwei, with increasing intensity.

Until in the recent centuries, the unreturned Ziwei Star began to deviate, showing a tendency to never become the "Emperor Star."

This led to Emperor Ziwei’s increasingly radical actions in recent years.

Whether it was forcibly recalling Taixu Star Monarch from the future to this era or guiding the Mountain People to launch the Gouchen Celestial Palace, Emperor Ziwei was deeply involved.

The former was a pawn laid by Emperor Ziwei in this era...

The latter was a "support star" he personally guided and forged...

What Emperor Ziwei never expected was that the Eastern Monarch would interfere at this moment.

Just when Emperor Ziwei managed to detect the location of the Taiyi Star’s remains, the Eastern Monarch appeared on the Three Immortals Island.

Subsequently, Di Jun started a new confrontation with Emperor Ziwei, continuously thwarting his plans to let the Taiyi Star soar again.

"In fact, I don’t care who the future ’Emperor Star’ is."

"But the ’Emperor Star’ cannot be the Taiyi Star, that’s the bottom line."

Calmly gazing at Emperor Ziwei, Li Boyang’s Eight-direction Sword trembled again with his voice.

In the distant future, Emperor Ziwei only felt an overwhelming killing intent coming straight at him.

If it weren’t for his incarnation having traversed numerous parallel time-spaces, making him nearly immune to conventional means of killing.

He had no doubt that this Eastern Monarch would have already drawn his sword to slay his true form.

"The Emperor Star cannot be the Taiyi Star?"

"Bottom line? Whose bottom line is it?"

Staring with astonishment at Li Boyang opposite him, Emperor Ziwei faintly felt like he was becoming a pawn.

But then, Emperor Ziwei shook his head to dismiss the thought.

Regardless of whether he became a pawn, the Taiyi Star was crucial to his proving the Dao in this era.

Especially after the original "support star" encountered problems, Emperor Ziwei had almost pinned all hopes of proving the Dao on the Taiyi Star.

Thinking of this, Emperor Ziwei suddenly realized.

"Wait, are you one of the Tao Ancestor’s people?"

"That’s right, the Queen Mother of the West was born in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, guiding the Tao Ancestor before he achieved the Dao."

"And you suddenly jumped out at the crucial moment of the Queen Mother of the West’s Dao attainment to ward off all her obstacles."

"So even if you’re not one of the Tao Ancestor’s people, you’re definitely one of the Queen Mother’s people, connected with the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

As he spoke, Emperor Ziwei’s thoughts became clearer, and when he looked at Li Boyang again, his eyes carried a different meaning.

Though lacking Yunxiao’s insight, Emperor Ziwei still figured out the general situation.

"Is the ’Gouchen Dao’ selection also related to you!?"

......................................................

Meanwhile, at Gaotun Village in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Standing with her hands behind her back before the grand Divine Temple, Nvwa gazed up at the falling meteor and dim stars, not saying a word the entire time.

Everyone within the [Profound Garden Barrier] saw the sky’s shifting.

It seemed like space was shifting, or perhaps time was accelerated...

In sight, the space-time within and outside the [Profound Garden Barrier] was dislocated in an incredible manner.

The meteors originally plunging toward the Hundred Lands Mountain Range bizarrely veered their descent direction, and even their speed became jerky.

Either they suddenly accelerated past the range of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range...

Or they slowed down to linger in the night sky...

These eerie meteors clearly fell simultaneously, yet their ground contact times spanned from days to years.

This exquisite manipulation of time was a new feature added to the [Profound Garden Barrier] over the years.

"Imitating the Celestial Realm’s time flow, causing a ’day in heaven, a year on earth’ time discrepancy..."

"To think that the hypothesis Qiwa mentioned back then really came to fruition."

Quietly walking up behind Nvwa, Li Jingshu’s eyes darted around, but she didn’t dare to meet the gaze of the slightly younger leader of the [Profound Garden Barrier].

"A day in heaven, a year on earth?"

Frowning, Nvwa turned to glance at Li Jingshu, her voice clearly displeased.

"The approach of disconnecting the Hundred Lands Mountain Range from external time has always been more harmful than beneficial."

"If this hadn’t happened suddenly, I wouldn’t have activated this feature."

Before the words were finished, Nvwa turned to question her.

"What else are you hiding from me?"

"Wasn’t the ’Cloud Summit Celestial Palace’ supposed to be an infrastructure project?"

"Why did the Celestial Palace Launch Platform suddenly become a ’Star Cannon’?"

"And what’s going on with the Gouchen and the Star God Network?"

"Don’t tell me that the ’Great Luo Dao’ and ’Taiyi Dao’ in his personal interface were added by himself?"
