Chapter 88 (1/2)

A/N: Not really into it today so the chapter might be kinda bad. Sorry about that, but I wanna just go to sleep now. G'nite.

In a world where time and space didn't exist, the skies were painted gold as a massive planet glowed with divine brilliance.

Within that world contained trillions of Immortals, or 'Xian' if one were to use the proper term. Dragons and phoenixes filled the skies as an auspicious power radiated off of everything.

If any God were to see this planet as of this moment, they would be terribly shocked. This was because this realm was far beyond any Divine Realms that existed.

This was something of a higher level. A God's Star.

Not only was it a God's Star, but it was also an ancient one as well. It had existed for countless years already, on the verge of reaching the next step at any time. The only thing limiting it, was the lack of its true ruler.

Normally, this God's Star would be very peaceful. Most of the immortals living in this plane would either be cultivating or performing meritorious deeds in order to facilitate their cultivations.

However, at this moment in time(even though it didn't exist in the God's Star), the God's Star, named 'The Heavenly Realm' was in chaos due to an announcement that shook the whole realm to its foundations.

”Lady Queen Mother has awoken for a brief moment! After hundreds of eons, she has finally awoken once!”

”Lady Queen Mother brings auspicious news with her awakening! He has returned! Our Emperor has returned!”

”Lady Queen Mother has ordered the 28 Constellations of Heaven to seek out the Emperor along with a hundred thousand celestial soldiers! The Four Heavenly Kings shall lead this expedition to bring the Emperor home!”

Those words stunned every being within the God's Star into a horrible silence. The sheer implication of those words slowly dawned on them as cheers shook the entire God's Star, regardless of its existence as merely a plane of thought.

As of this moment, the force of a God's Star that had stayed dormant for trillions of years finally bȧrėd its fangs.

Several days had passed after Huang Yu's battle with Xie Xie. Yuanen and Tang Wulin had won their respective matches as the tournament continued on as usual.

Inside the waiting room, Huang Yu sat in the waiting room in relative silence as he waited for the next match. There was a frown on his face as he contemplated the sheer weight of what had happened several days ago.

It was so sudden! There wasn't even a warning before that sound came out. Huang Yu was very sure that he hadn't done anything big with his bloodline as of late to trigger something like this.

Perhaps it wasn't because of him? That was a possibility as well. Being found out might have been entirely out of control.

The main thing that Huang Yu was worried about, however, was about the being that called him 'husband'. That opened a whole can of worms he wasn't willing to dive into.

Huang Yu knew very well what he wanted in life. For his goals, he had set one that could be deemed impossible by anyone else. As for his choice of women, Gu Yue was the only one for him.

Having more than one lover wasn't something that Huang Yu wanted to do. Gu Yue gave him all of her love, and in return, he would definitely give her all of his.

That was how much he loved her.

Hence, he was actually feeling something that he hadn't felt for quite sometime when the word 'husband' resounded in his ear.

It was fear.

This woman, Huang Yu believed— no, he was one hundred percent sure that she was stronger than him. Not only that, it wasn't by a small margin either. The gap was impossibly huge.

He had no way as to stop that person if she chose to just take him away as of this moment. He wouldn't be able to resist even if he wanted to.

Looking down at the ground, Huang Yu clenched his fists. He was so used to being above others that he had been lax in the increase of his strength. Sure, he had created his cultivation technique and had integrated sword intent into his spiritual energy, but he hadn't tried anything more after that.

Nonetheless, this would change now. Huang Yu knew that he couldn't continue on like this if that person was truly coming for him. He had to constantly improve himself and strive for perfection even though it may not exist.

At this moment, an obnoxious voice snapped Huang Yu out of his thoughts. ”Huang Yu, your opponent today is me,”

Looking up, Huang Yu found himself staring at Dai Yun'er with apathetic eyes.

”Ok.”

A sneer appeared on Dai Yun'er's face. ”If I were you, I'd yield now and save the humiliation of getting defeated.”

A soft sigh emerged from Huang Yu's lips. ”Dai Yun'er, is the grudge between us so deep that you have to keep coming to harass me?”

”Yes! It's completely unresolvable unless I beat you up with both of my own hands!”

”...”
