The fabric of space trembled as Heaven’s eyes erupted with a brilliant light, lighting up the sealed dimension.
Heaven lowered his head and said to the two An Lushans, “An Lushan, didn’t you want to kill Wang Chong? We will lend you a hand!”
Boom!
Before An Lushan could answer, an enormous energy howled out of Heaven’s body and into An Lushan’s soul.
But surprisingly, Heaven’s devouring encountered no struggle or resistance.
As Heaven was in the midst of devouring, a voice that was somewhat similar to An Lushan’s but slightly scratchy and brimming with endless hatred cried out, “Come on, then! I only have one condition! No matter what, he must die!”
As this voice spoke, the two An Lushans threw themselves into Heaven’s soul.
If there was one person in the world that could help him kill Wang Chong, then it was undoubtedly Heaven.
Boom!
The fusion process was much faster than expected. A few moments later, a light tens of thousands of times brighter than the sun erupted from Heaven’s body, and a beam of light shot upward, sending ripples throughout the sealed dimension.
The enormous energy even shook Essence Supreme’s soul fragment out of Heaven’s body. Besides that, Essence Supreme could sense that Heaven’s energy was rapidly rising after absorbing An Lushan’s soul.
His soul had been heavily damaged from the backlash that came from the destruction of the Celestial Palace, covered in cracks, but at this moment, his soul’s condition began to rapidly improve. It recovered by more than twenty percent, and while it was still not fully healed, its recovery speed was many times faster.
Moreover, on Heaven’s body, he could sense a special energy that had previously only appeared on An Lushan.
The World Consciousness!
Essence Supreme immediately understood that by completely devouring An Lushan, Heaven had inherited that power that An Lushan had as the Child of the World.
At this moment, Heaven was the new ‘Child of the World’!
As a spatial storm ripped through the region, Essence Supreme came to an understanding that what had happened just now had not been an accident. Heaven had voluntarily removed Essence Supreme’s soul shard.
“He no longer needs me. No one will dare to betray him now!”
Essence Supreme didn’t know what Heaven had gained from An Lushan’s soul or what he had seen, but there was no doubt that Heaven was brimming with confidence!
After a long while, the storm finally calmed down.
Crack!
Essence Supreme could sense that on the very edge of the dimension, there was a sharp crack, and then a tear appeared on that seemingly impregnable domain, a sliver of external energy flowing inside.
“How could this be?!”
Essence Supreme was flabbergasted.
But before he had time to think, Heaven began to slowly open his eyes.
“Your Majesty!”
Essence Supreme hastily lowered his head, his tone one of unprecedented meekness.
Essence Supreme suddenly understood that the moment they had been awaiting for so long had perhaps truly come.
All was quiet, and when Heaven finally spoke, the fabric of space trembled.
“Essence Supreme.
“The moment We have been awaiting for countless epochs has finally arrived!”
Heaven’s simple words left Essence Supreme’s mind reeling.
“But there is one other matter. Do you recall that girl We had you bring back?” Heaven said.
Essence Supreme bowed and said, “Yes. Your subordinate has already taken care of her.”
“Very good. There is a task for you to carry out.”
……
……
Several days later, in the capital of the Great Tang…
A gust of wind caused countless leaves to dance and sprinkle across the ground.
In his study, Wang Chong was reading through reports when a guard came in with a letter.
“Your Highness, someone outside has come to deliver a letter!”
“Understood. Bring it here.”
Wang Chong casually pointed at his desk.
“Yes!”
The guard quickly departed. After a few moments, once he was done reading the report in his hand, Wang Chong finally took the letter. Upon glancing at its contents, he instantly paled.
There were no words on the letter, only a wooden hairpin and a white sheet of paper.
Wang Chong had gifted this hairpin to Xu Qiqin a long time ago, and on the white sheet of paper was an image of the Celestial Palace.
