If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 907 The Throne of the Heavenly Emperor
The Emperor Taishang was momentarily flustered, but he quickly regained his composure. He narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Father, do you want to test my Nine Heavens True Dragon Qi again?"

He revealed a defiant smile, as if he were the Heavenly Emperor.

However, the Heavenly Emperor remained indifferent in the face of his domineering presence, simply watching him quietly.

The Emperor's gaze made the Supreme Emperor feel as if he were sitting on pins and needles, and his heart sank to the bottom.

He became increasingly certain that the Heavenly Emperor was not testing him, which made him begin to despair.

He was able to gain power in the Heavenly Court before because he forced the Heavenly Emperor, which caused a great unpleasant situation. Now that he has lost his cultivation, how could the Heavenly Emperor let him go?

His relationship with the Heavenly Emperor had long surpassed that of an emperor; they had become enemies. These enemies were not mortal foes, but adversaries under the authority of Heaven.

The Heavenly Emperor himself did not know how long he had lived, but he was certain that even when facing his own son, the enraged Heavenly Emperor would not show mercy and would not regret any of his executions.

Some emperors were banished to the mortal realm, some were exiled to chaos, some fell into the underworld and were never to return, and some were completely annihilated, their bodies and souls destroyed, and they ceased to exist.

No matter how he thought about it, the Emperor Taishang felt that he would suffer the worst fate, and that it might even become a cautionary tale for future emperors.

“You are just like your mother. Your mother is just as ambitious as you are.”

The Heavenly Emperor suddenly spoke, which surprised the Supreme Emperor. He frowned, not understanding the Heavenly Emperor's intention in saying this.

He didn't expect the Heavenly Emperor to let him off the hook.

The Heavenly Emperor continued, "Your mother died for power. I did not bring her back to Heaven, but I brought you instead. This was her long-cherished wish. Between her and you, she chose to let you join the ranks of the immortals."

The emperor and the supreme ruler remain silent.

He had long forgotten what his mother looked like. He never thought of his mother in his daily life, and his heart remained unmoved upon hearing the Heavenly Emperor's words.

As an emperor, he also experienced the cycle of reincarnation, and he encountered even more moving experiences.

He knew very well that the Heavenly Emperor chose him because of his talent. There were so many emperors, could it be that all emperors became emperors because of their mothers' kindness?

The Emperor's words calmed him down, and he decided to accept his fate.

Although he did not hold power in the Heavenly Court for long, he was successful at least. As the Son of Heaven, he had done his best, and even in death, he could die without regrets.

"I will give you a chance. I will not touch your immortal power, but you must compete with Taihao for the position of Heavenly Emperor. Whoever succeeds, I will pass on my cultivation to him. Even if you have lost your cultivation, you can return to your peak."

The Heavenly Emperor stared at the Supreme Emperor and said in a cold voice.

The Emperor Taishang was not surprised; instead, he asked in confusion, "Why do this?"

The Heavenly Emperor said frankly, "I want to support Taihao to become the Heavenly Emperor, but he has no outstanding achievements. I want to use you as a stepping stone, but if you can surpass him, then the position of Heavenly Emperor should belong to you."

"I'm asking you, why did you relinquish the throne of the Heavenly Emperor?"

The Supreme Emperor stared intently at the Heavenly Emperor, his gaze like two piercing knives, as if trying to cut through the Heavenly Emperor's heart.

The Heavenly Emperor replied, "Sitting in this position for too long is quite boring. I want to leave the Heavenly Court to pursue my own path and find an old friend to have a long-awaited final battle with him."

"You, who have lost your cultivation, still want to fight someone?"

“I naturally have ways to get back to normal, unlike you, who can only pretend to be calm and wait for the other party to forgive you.”

For the first time, the Heavenly Emperor's tone changed, becoming full of sarcasm, which made the Supreme Emperor's face turn ugly. Seeing the Supreme Emperor's expression, the Heavenly Emperor's lips curled up and he laughed, "Your only chance of winning is to seize the Central Heaven's fortune. In the future, I will transfer the Heavenly Dao's fortune to the Central Heaven. At that time, there will only be more and more immortals and gods in the Central Heaven. While Taihao is still cultivating, you still have a chance."

"Go down."

The Emperor remained silent. He had many questions he wanted to ask, but he felt he had no other choice but to survive in order to understand those questions.

Even if he finds out now, what meaning will the answer have for him once he dies?
The Supreme Emperor took a deep breath, then raised his hand in a salute to the Heavenly Emperor before turning and leaving.

The Heavenly Emperor watched him leave, his eyes growing deep.

……

Time flies, millions of years pass in the blink of an eye, and Zhongtian has taken on a new look, with the world full of vitality.

On a cliff, Hongyi sat facing the blazing sun, surrounded by purple aura. In the distance, celestial birds flew across the sky, like mountains soaring through the heavens, a truly magnificent sight.

Gu An came up behind Hong Yi. Looking at the magnificent scene in front of him, he exclaimed, "The sky in Zhongtian is getting more and more beautiful. We can even see traces of the Great Dao."

Hongyi opened her eyes, turned to look at him, and asked, "What realm is the most powerful being in the world today?"

Gu An did not meet her gaze, and replied softly, "The Great Luo Immortal is the pinnacle of the Immortal Path, the third level of the Great Luo Dao Fruit, and you are currently attempting to break through to the Great Luo Dao Fruit."

Upon hearing this, Hongyi turned around, looked towards the horizon, and murmured to herself, "Is the difference really that great?"

Gu An didn't respond, telling her to think about it first.

After a while, he finally spoke: "Hongyi, starting tomorrow, I will no longer come. From now on, you can walk your own path and do whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Hongyi immediately stood up, turned around to look at him, and stared intently at him, her eyes filled with anger for the first time.

Having cultivated for so many years, Hongyi's emotions had always been very stable, and he had never shown such a look in his eyes before.

"Why?" Hongyi asked through gritted teeth, her anger gradually turning into panic.

From the moment she became conscious, she followed Gu An. Gu An was the first person she saw after opening her eyes. She had developed a dependence on Gu An and never thought about leaving Gu An and living alone.

Gu An replied, "Everyone has a place to return to and a place to go. Look at the birds in the sky; they have changed many companions, and some even travel alone."

“I am me, and they are them. Why did you leave me?” Hongyi stared intently at Gu An, her eyes defiant.

Gu An smiled and said, "Your future is much brighter. I don't like that kind of life, so I won't hold you back."

"If you don't like it, then I don't have to. I'll live the life you like with you."

Hongyi said earnestly that she now enjoys cultivation, fighting, and becoming stronger, but she does not want to leave Gu An.

She couldn't imagine how she would live after leaving Gu An.

Gu An shook his head and said, "Once you go out and explore for a while, you will know the wonders of the world, which will also help you become stronger."

"I don't believe it, and I'm not leaving you!"

Hongyi said in a deep voice. She raised her right hand and grabbed Gu An's sleeve, as if afraid that he would run away.
