Chapter 480: Suppressing The Heaven and Earth

“Is it the Ancient Emperor?”

Jiang Lan asked.

He did not stop, but walked towards the stone tablet.

The stone tablets here seemed to record history. They were all images, but they were all important key records of what happened then.

Was it to prevent the legacy from being lost?

The various factions in the Grand Desolate World knew very little about this.

Even in Kunlun, there didn’t seem to be too many records. Even if there were, it wasn’t something ordinary people could see.

However, his master was no ordinary person.

If there were detailed records of this, he would have kept it for him to read.

From the ‘Nine Summits of Kunlun’, one could deduce that the Kunlun Ancestor was active after the Ancient Imperial Court had fallen.

At that time, the Heaven Realm and the Netherworld had been shut down.

There was a big difference in what was happening at that generation.

“It is indeed the Imperial Lord.” The old man confirmed Jiang Lan’s answer.

“At that time, the Imperial Lord was like a ray of light illuminating the Grand Desolate World, as though many things were converging on his body.

Then, everyone heard a voice – Ancient Emperor.

As soon as the name appeared, it was as if the heavens had been lifted up by the Imperial Lord, and it was no longer collapsing.

The bodies of the others also began to glow.

A new voice then sounded in the air but the founder had never recorded information on this matter before.

Later on, those people separated. Some used their bodies to block the heavenly flames, some severed mountains and rivers to stop the flood, some mended the great earth, while some used their power to suppress the vicious beasts that went mad. Through their combined efforts, the Grand Desolate World regained its calmness.

Ancient Imperial Court “As the center of it all, the Imperial Lord waved the giant axe in his hand, built the Tree of Creation and his aura suppressed the heavens and earth.”

At this moment, Jiang Lan had already walked to the bottom of the stone tablet. He saw a man with a golden glow standing in the sky.

The collapsed sky was blocked by him.

The heavenly fire was stopped by others. They were all not human.

Those who repaired the land, stopped the flood, and suppressed the ferocious beasts were all in the scene. They were also non-human.

Only the Imperial Lord looked human.

But at that time, humans should have been very weak.

However, in the face of such a calamity, if there was any racial prejudice, they would not appear on the murals.

Then, he saw the Emperor Lord brandish his giant axe. The Tree of Creation stood tall in the Grand Desolate World, so that the heavens would no longer collapse.

“Later on, the Ancient Imperial Courts appeared. The Imperial Lord also entered the Heaven Realm and began managing the Grand Desolate World.

All races need to be governed, and we were no exception.

However, unlike the others, the Imperial Lord himself came here.

He didn’t let us stay in the Grand Desolate World. Instead, he used the thin roots of the Tree of Creation to open up this place so that we could recuperate.

He said that this was just the beginning. He would need the help of the Heavenly Spirit Race in the future, but he would highly likely die if he were to set out.

The exact details were not passed down.

In the records, the elder at that time seemed to know the truth and knelt in front of the Imperial Lord.

He replied the Imperial Lord, “The Heavenly Spirit Race is willing to die for you.”

“What happened next?” Jiang Lan looked at the stone tablet in the distance.

He had heard from the elder before.

There was once when they did not hand people over.

“Under normal circumstances, the Ancient Imperial Court’s people will come once every one to two hundred years.

Later on, the frequency increased.

This was until one year where no one in our village was talented enough.

Therefore, when the Exalted God came, there was no one we could hand over.” The old man lowered his head as if it was a sin of their race.

“Did he become angry?” Jiang Lan stood in front of the stone tablet.

He saw a man dressed in golden battle armor, standing silently at the village entrance.

He just watched on.

He had two ashamed villagers by his side.

“No.” The old man also looked at the stone tablet.

“The Exalted God wasn’t angry. He only said that he was here to take a look, not to bring people.

But the ancestor thought it was an excuse for the Exalted God, because…

From that day onward, the Exalted God never came again. There was no news of him at all.

We felt abandoned.

However, we were really not afraid at all. We wished to explain ourselves and hope that the Exalted God will return.

We were longing for the Exalted God to come again.

I’m rather lucky.”

Hearing the old man’s words, Jiang Lan remained silent.

He did indeed have a Deity Position, so calling him an Exalted God might not be too much.

This was the position of the original owner of the Deity Position.

He had inherited the Deity Position and accepted the fortuitous opportunities in this world. In the future, he would also shoulder the responsibility of the Deity Position.

However, he did not understand the exact situation.

As for whether that Exalted God was looking for an excuse, he didn’t think so.

Back then, even if the people from the Treefront Village could hand over talented people, they might not be taken away.

The Exalted God was probably here to bid farewell.

The reason why he no longer came back after that was most likely because the Ancient Imperial Palace had closed the passageway between the Netherworld Realm and the Heaven Realm.

That’s why the Exalted God no longer came here. This made the villagers feel that they had been given up.

“Who is the enemy of the Ancient Imperial Palace?” Jiang Lan asked.

The old man raised his head and looked deeply at Jiang Lan before shaking his head with a slightly sorrowful expression.

“We don’t know.”

Jiang Lan didn’t ask any more questions.

He might need to be near the Heaven Realm to know a thing or two about such matters.

Or enter the Ancient Imperial Lower Palace.

Then, he looked at the big tree behind him.

This tree was very large, and it was absorbing the power of the void. There was a certain reason for the village’s existence.

“This is the branch from the Tree of Creation that the Imperial Lord left for us,” the old man explained.

Jiang Lan nodded slightly. He could also sense that this tree was extraordinary.

There was the power of space.

“Can I go up and take a look?” Jiang Lan asked.

“Go ahead, Exalted God.” The old man retreated to the side.

After Jiang Lan nodded in response, he leapt onto the main trunk of the Tree of Creation.

This tree had been severed during the Grand Desolate World’s great calamity.

Standing on the main trunk, he felt that this tree was extraordinary. It wasn’t something that just anyone could sever.

“When the Netherworld creature said that the heavens and earth were about to collapse, was it also referring to what the Ancient Imperial Court faced back then?”

Jiang Lan thought.

If that was the case, could anyone stop it?

Back then, the Ancient Emperor was already extremely powerful. Was there anyone in the present Grand Desolate World who could compare to him?

Thinking about it carefully, they were not that bad in terms of strength now.

He had more or less inherited the Deity Position. As long as he could completely convert the Deity Position into his own.

It was not impossible to resist the enemy.

Except…

He was still too far away.

He did not need to think about what to do later. What he needed to do was what he needed to do now.

He needed to make himself stronger.

He needed to keep getting stronger.

He needed to become as strong as his master and then surpass his master to reach the level of Imperial Lord Xi He.

It would naturally be best if he could surpass him as well.

Feeling the power of the Tree of Creation, Jiang Lan’s mind seemed to expand.

He seemed to see the endless void.

His vision was different from before.

He could see further and more clearly.

There was a spatial infrastructure in place all things seemed to be connected.

It was all happening now.

With this feeling, Jiang Lan sat down in peace. He wanted to experience it.

Perhaps he would gain something. This feeling was extremely strange.

It was as if his mind could connect to the Tree of Creation and gaze into the distance.

His heart began to calm down.

However, after completely calming down and experiencing the effects of the Tree of Creation.

He remembered something. Maybe he could sign in here.

There might be something different.

Except…

It was not suitable for him to be distracted now.

At this moment, the Tree of Creation had completely calmed down along with Jiang Lan. A faint radiance appeared.

There was a feeling of resonance.
