Chapter 606 357: I Am a Divine Being (The Grand Finale)

In the entire Great Yan Dynasty, no one else could say such a thing.

Yet when she was the one who said it, no one dared to object.

For perhaps in the future, the entire world would be hers alone.

"Princess... this was all decreed in the former emperor's will."

"Everything is to be based on peace, without resorting to war. Once the Princess ascends the throne, she can naturally unify the world."

At the mention of the former emperor, the young girl's eyes seemed to lose their luster, but they quickly returned to normal. Gazing at the colorful koi in the pavilion pond, she asked distractedly:

"What about my father? When is he coming back?"

"Well..."

The young eunuch was troubled by the question. Given his status, how could he possibly know the answer?

He could only make something up. "It should be soon. The former emperor once said that Divine Beings are always coveting this world. If he doesn't guard the Outer Heaven, I'm afraid there will never be a day of peace."

The young girl clenched her fists, a domineering aura unbefitting her age appearing on her brow. She said coldly, "It must be because I'm not strong enough. That's why Father is unwilling to see me!"

"Outer Heaven, Divine Beings... what are they? If you give me time, I will surely make the Nine Heavens Universe clear and bright."

"Yunzhi."

"What are you plotting now?"

Another woman, graceful and noble, with a phoenix crown adorned with precious hairpins, approached with elegant steps. Her golden Phoenix Robe was incomparably regal, yet her features were gentle, her demeanor grand and dignified, suffused with a scholarly air.

"Mother!"

Seeing the newcomer, Lu Yunzhi was very respectful.

In the entire world,

the only ones she treated with respect

were her Father Emperor and Mother Empress.

Chancellor Chen counted as half of one. Sometimes, he was too much of a scholar, his mouth full of the rites and etiquette of the Confucian Family, which didn't suit her taste.

Qi Muxue looked at her now-adult daughter with a sense of helplessness.

'When she was little, I could still manage her.'

'Now, the older she gets, the less I can control her.'

'But with Yunzhi's current abilities, there probably isn't anyone who can do anything to her.'

Ever since the battle at the Sea of Returning Ruins,

Yuqing Ancestor Master had personally paid a visit, taking Lu Yunzhi as his Closed-door Disciple and teaching her a Cultivation Technique.

The Ancestor Master had said himself that Lu Yunzhi's aptitude was that of a Tao Body, a rarity seen only once in tens of thousands of years. It could accommodate all the Cultivation Techniques of the Confucian-Buddhist-Taoist Dao. If she reached Integration in the future, her achievements would be limitless.

Moreover, her Destiny was unfathomably deep. She was born of fortune and destined for tribulation, perhaps even more terrifying than her husband had been back in his day.

"Let's go, Diao!"

Lu Yunzhi whistled.

The sky above the Imperial Palace immediately turned to night.

As if obscured by dark clouds.

In reality, a careful observer would discover that a colossal bird flying over the Imperial Palace was what had created the scene.

Qi Muxue narrowed her eyes and looked at the sky.

'To think that the Wilderness Great Demon Gu Diao her husband raised in the past has grown so large.'

In the Wilderness World, the Gu Diao, which was like an Ancient Fierce Beast, behaved like a well-behaved child in front of Lu Yunzhi.

Lu Yunzhi leaped up, transforming into a rainbow of light, and landed on the Gu Diao's back.

The Gu Diao immediately changed direction and flew into the distance.

Like a great roc rising with the wind, soaring to the highest heavens.

"When will you be back?"

Qi Muxue couldn't help but ask via voice transmission as she watched her daughter's departing figure.

"I'm going to see Aunt Yun! I'll come back when I've had my fun!"

Lu Yunzhi immediately responded.

Qi Muxue gave a wry smile and touched her forehead, completely helpless.

...

As the majestic Gu Diao flew toward the Cyan Nether Continent, it suddenly encountered a strange black wind.

This strange wind blocked Lu Yunzhi's path but did not harm her.

"Who dares to cause trouble here!"

Lu Yunzhi did not hold back. With a flick of her wide sleeve, an Ancient Sword thick with Daoist charm appeared, its blade engraved with numerous Dao patterns.

This sword was a Magical Treasure personally refined by Yuqing.

It was comparable to half an Immortal Artifact.

The strange black wind was very peculiar. It carried her to a mountain ridge, where it transformed into a human figure.

The figure was that of a woman in black gauze whose beauty could topple nations, and her attire was quite revealing.

She gazed into the distance, her waterfall of black hair cascading over her shoulders. Standing by a mountain stream, her pair of emotionless, eerie green Demon Eyes were soul-stirring. Her skin was snow-white, like the finest white jade, and her moist, vermilion lips were gently closed.

"Who are you?"

Lu Yunzhi was extremely vigilant upon seeing this person.

She couldn't sense the person's aura.

'Their Cultivation is far higher than mine.'

After all, she was a Tenth Realm Nascent Soul Great Cultivator who simultaneously cultivated three Daos—an extremely difficult feat. Even someone in the Twelfth Realm would find it hard to capture her.

'After all, the methods I have at my disposal are beyond what an ordinary person can imagine.'

"I..."

"...am perhaps an old friend."

Witch Palace Language gazed for a moment with her beautiful eyes and said, uncertain.

Lu Yunzhi did not grasp the meaning behind her words.

Witch Palace Language glanced at the Red and White Turtle Shell Pendant on her neck. A hint of reminiscence flashed in her eyes as she murmured:

"Divine Beings... can they truly not save the Holy Netherworld? In that case, this thing is no longer so important to me."

After speaking, she took out a Black Turtle Shell and handed it to Lu Yunzhi.

"This is..."

Lu Yunzhi stared at the two similar Turtle Shells, stunned for a moment.

This Turtle Shell was a Treasure her father had given her when she was a child.

He had said it could protect her if she encountered danger.

The moment the two Turtle Shells merged into one,

a Yin Yang Divine Seal appeared on Lu Yunzhi's brow. It was as if an eye had opened, erupting with a pillar of light that shot straight to Yunxiao.

Witch Palace Language smiled faintly. "You truly are his daughter. The same extraordinary talent, the same astonishing Destiny."

"You know my father?"

"Where is he?!"

Lu Yunzhi, no longer caring about the danger, hurriedly pressed for an answer.

"Your father is here. He has always been here."

Witch Palace Language looked up at the sky and murmured to herself.

Just then, a star in the sky seemed to respond, twinkling gently.

However, at this very moment, beneath the dark cosmic firmament, a golden figure flashed across the starry sky and vanished. It seemed as if there was someone on the moon.

On the surface of a silent, dead star, the grayish-white ground reflected the bleak starlight. In the center of that highest, largest star, stood a figure like a statue.

Like a sculpture, he stood guard atop the Outer World Divine Stele, gazing down upon the Mortal World.

The figure stood there silently, radiating a sacred golden brilliance. That divine might alone was enough to make all living beings prostrate themselves on the ground.
