Chapter 671: Changes in Heaven and Earth
In the universe, trillions of ordinary mortals and low-level cultivators had no idea what a brutal imperial war had broken out deep in the star sea, let alone that an ancient emperor had just completely perished.
They only saw the magnificent miracle of golden lotuses filling the sky and sweet dew falling from the heavens, and felt the frenzied revival of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around them.
Countless people stepped out of their homes, their faces filled with ecstasy and piety, and knelt down in worship towards the sky.
In their minds, this must be the legendary emperor using his supreme divine powers to transform the world and lead all races into an unprecedented golden age.
In an instant, the whole world rejoiced, and everywhere was filled with laughter and praise for the Emperor.
However, compared to the blind revelry of ordinary mortals and low-level cultivators, the truly powerful beings standing at the top of the universe were filled with unparalleled shock and terror as they looked at the strange phenomena that filled the sky.
Deep within an ancient dynasty, several ancient beings who had lived for thousands of years broke through the source, staring intently at the starry sky, their entire bodies trembling uncontrollably.
"Spiritual energy is reviving... Heaven and earth are replenishing each other... This means a supreme being from an extreme realm has fallen!"
An old royal uncle, his voice hoarse with endless awe and horror, murmured in a low voice.
"Those supreme beings in the forbidden zones have lived for far too long."
"Each of them, over the long years of the past, has devoured the blood and essence of countless beings in the universe. Moreover, with their unparalleled cultivation, they have forcibly seized a massive amount of natural resources that originally belonged to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths within their own bodies, sealing them within the forbidden zone of life."
"They are the biggest parasites and cancer in this universe!"
"Now, a supreme being was killed by the Flame Emperor deep in the star sea. The vast source of heaven and earth that he had dominated for hundreds of thousands of years was completely fed back to this broken world like a whale fall."
"Only when the supreme ruler falls, only when the malignant tumor is eradicated, will the universe receive such a frenzied return!"
Thinking of this, countless old monsters turned their gazes to that desolate star field that had long since turned into chaos, and felt a deep-seated awe for the newly ascended Flame Emperor who sat high on the throne.
Having just attained the status of a Great Emperor, he single-handedly killed an ancient Great Emperor who had reached the pinnacle of his power in the cosmos!
Just how incredible was the fighting power of this Emperor Yan?
........
On the other side, in the shattered and chaotic void, Lin Hanzhou stood quietly with his hands behind his back.
The thunder and holy fire that had been surging like a vast ocean on his slender body had quietly subsided, leaving only his black hair fluttering slightly in the remaining spatial storm.
Looking at the countless golden lotuses rising in the surrounding starry sky, and the vast celestial music resounding throughout the heavens and earth, Lin Hanzhou's crimson-gold eyes showed little joy after the great victory. Instead, they narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of contemplation and surprise.
"This strange phenomenon... is quite interesting, very odd."
Lin Hanzhou looked down at his long, slender, fair hands and murmured to himself, his tone tinged with doubt.
Outsiders only know that Emperor Yan possessed extraordinary combat power, eradicated a cosmic scourge, and caused the world to rejoice.
But only Lin Hanzhou himself knew that the logic of this strange phenomenon had undergone a radical change compared to his previous life.
In his past life, he had personally killed countless ancient emperors and supreme beings who had sprung out of the forbidden zones of life and wreaked havoc.
However, in that era more than 200,000 years ago, whenever he suppressed and killed a supreme being from a forbidden zone, what the Heavenly Dao of the universe revealed was never a joyous scene of "spiritual energy revival" or "golden lotuses emerging from the earth".
On the contrary, at that time, every time a supreme being died, the entire universe would be showered with blood rain, the heavens and earth would grieve, and all paths would groan in sorrow!
That was a true "Heavenly Cry" phenomenon, as if the entire Heavenly Dao was feeling extreme sorrow and grief for the fall of those supreme beings who had severed themselves.
"The logic of the previous Heavenly Law was utterly absurd."
Lin Hanzhou's lips curled into a mocking sneer.
In the previous order, although those ancient emperors and supreme beings severed their own flesh and became monsters that fed on all living beings and stirred up dark turmoil, they had after all once carried the imprint of the Heavenly Heart. Their Great Dao Laws had long been deeply imprinted in the void of the universe and had become part of the Heavenly Dao.
In the cold, mechanical operating logic of the old Heavenly Dao, those supreme beings were like its "eldest sons".
Even if these eldest sons grow into man-eating dragons, wreaking havoc on the heavens and earth, the old Heavenly Dao will still instinctively send down rain of blood to mourn them when they are killed by the Emperor of Time.
The feeling was as if Lin Hanzhou, the great emperor who protected all living beings, had become the "villain" who disrupted the order, which made people feel extremely frustrated.
"But the attitude that Tiandao is showing today has completely changed."
Lin Hanzhou looked up, feeling the pure and incomparably good merit of heaven and earth entering his body, and the faint look of contemplation in his eyes grew stronger.
This time, after the deaths of the two supreme beings, the Heavenly Dao did not send down a single drop of blood rain, and the myriad paths did not utter a single lament. Instead, as if a malignant tumor had been removed, they eagerly began to decorate with lanterns and streamers.
"Is it because of this lifetime, and for what reason, that the will of Heaven has been altered?"
"Or perhaps... in these long spans of over two hundred thousand years, the celestial order of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths itself has quietly undergone some mysterious transformation?"
Lin Hanzhou had a vague intuition.
The way of Heaven in this era seems to be becoming more and more "spiritual," and it is also becoming more and more resistant to those parasites in forbidden zones who only know how to take and not how to give.
"If that's the case, it's not necessarily a bad thing."
Lin Hanzhou withdrew his seemingly absent-minded thoughts, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
As Lin Hanzhou stood in the starry sky, seemingly lost in thought, within the deepest forbidden zones of life in the universe, the supreme divine thoughts that had been intertwined due to the battle situation fell into a deathly silence and solemnity.
Undying Mountain, Immortal Burial Island, Nine Netherworld Sea, Bronze Tree Sea, Devouring Demon Abyss...
These terrifying beings, who usually held themselves high above and regarded all races of the universe as mere prey, showed no shock or regret at the fall of the Great Emperor of Ten Thousand Souls.
In their view, since Wan Hun, that old ghost, had already reached the pinnacle of transcendence, he was destined to be a dead man.
The fate of someone who is destined to die is not worth their extra energy to pay attention to.
What truly chilled them to the bone and made their very souls tremble uncontrollably was the power that the Flame Emperor had displayed during that brief but brutal imperial battle, and the familiar Supreme Imperial Weapon in his hand!
