While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 404 Having accomplished his task, he departed without a trace.

With the Blood Demon Emperor defeated and the six Blood Demon Kings all perished, the remaining Blood Evil Clan members were scattered and no longer posed any threat to the safety of this plane.

With a slight thought, Chen Xiao directly invoked the power of the plane to sweep across all directions. In an instant, all the Blood Evil Clan members at the Demon General level across the entire continent were instantly crushed by a heavenly might.

Countless members of the Blood Evil Clan below the level of Demon Generals watched as those important figures turned into blood mist and vanished before their eyes, terrified and fleeing for their lives.

Chen Xiao did not take action against these low-level Blood Evil Clan members for the time being. Becoming the master of the plane brought him great benefits, especially in this plane, where he could decide the life and death of all beings with a single thought, possessing absolute control.

If he were to return to the vast world, he would be able to communicate with different planes and draw upon a continuous stream of energy, which he would then transform into spiritual power. In this way, he would naturally gain an advantage when fighting others.

However, everything in excess is harmful. This is ultimately just a lower plane. If too much energy is absorbed, at best the energy of this world will gradually become thinner, and at worst the plane will collapse, destroying countless living beings.

Of course, for Chen Xiao, there was no need to worry about how to strike the right balance.

Because he doesn't need it at all!

Since switching cultivation techniques on the Dou Qi Continent, he has never worried about energy expenditure.

Back to the main topic—

After annihilating all the Blood Evil Clan members at the Demon General level, Chen Xiao withdrew his oppressive aura and descended from the sky, stopping in front of Qing Yanjing.

At this moment, Qing Yanjing was looking him up and down with surprise and doubt, as if they were meeting for the first time, as if she was looking for the changes after he broke through to the Heavenly Supreme.

"This time it was my oversight that prevented you from witnessing me undergo the Heavenly Venerable Tribulation."

As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking with a hint of apology, Qing Yanjing gently shook her head.

She used to say that she followed him for two reasons: first, to see what the lower planes were like, and second, to witness him undergo the Heavenly Venerable Tribulation, so that she could gain some experience for her future advancement.

It should be understood that for the vast majority of powerful individuals who are stuck at the Great Perfection of the Earthly Supreme realm, this is a rare opportunity.

But is she like an ordinary Supreme Perfection being?

In terms of talent and background, Qing Yanjing is top-notch. The threshold of the Heavenly Sovereign is simply not something that can hold her back.

Therefore, even if one misses that Heavenly Tribulation, it is not a loss.

What she truly cared about was never this so-called opportunity.

"It's good that you've broken through. Compared to escaping safely, whether or not you witness the Heavenly Venerable Tribulation is irrelevant."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, glanced at the group from the Holy Dragon Sect in the distance, and with a thought, all one hundred-plus people were teleported to his side.

"Greetings, Lord of the Planes!" The leading elder bowed once more.

Chen Xiao waved his hand and said calmly, "I have wiped out all the demon generals of the Blood Evil Clan. With your strength, you can easily deal with the remaining remnants. I plan to lure these Blood Evil Clan members to various dangerous places on the continent to gather them together. In this way, they will be unable to continue their evil deeds, and you can guide the younger generation to go there to train and eliminate demons. What do you all think?"

This world was severely weakened by the massacre by the Blood Evil Clan. The hundred or so people present were all the high-end combat power that existed in this world, including some supreme experts who were roughly equivalent to the Great Thousand Realms.

Unfortunately, they all had little time left to live.

For a world to rise and prosper, and for future generations to become stronger, some whetstones are indispensable.

But this place cannot withstand any internal strife or damage.

Therefore, making use of the remaining Blood Fiend Clan members was the best solution Chen Xiao could think of, and it was more valuable than simply annihilating them all.

This also gives those who come after them a chance to avenge their ancestors.

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's arrangement, everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately bowed and accepted the order.

"We obey the commands of the plane's lord!"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, then changed the subject: "Now that I have become the ruler of this plane, I should naturally shoulder the corresponding responsibility of protecting this world. However, you all must know that Xiao Jing and I are not from this world, and we will not stay here for long."

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone present instantly darkened, their brows furrowing with unconcealed worry.

Although the Blood Evil Clan has been dealt with, the world's powerful warriors have been almost entirely wiped out, with very few remaining. With their meager remaining strength, they would be utterly unable to withstand any further invasion from extraterrestrial evil races.

Restoring this war-torn land to its former vitality would require hundreds of years of recuperation and the continuous inheritance of several generations; it would be utterly impossible.

Seeing their worried expressions, Chen Xiao raised his hand to reassure them, "There's no need to worry. Although I've left, I can still sense this seat."

"After I return to the Great Thousand World, I will begin to establish a power. Before leaving, I will move this plane directly to the territory I have chosen in the Great Thousand World. In this way, the spatial nodes of the two worlds will change, and the extraterrestrial evil races will not be able to descend along the old path of the Blood Evil Race. Even if there is a one in a billion chance that they will encounter a new spatial node, they will have to get past me first. Moreover, I can change this spatial node at any time."

"In addition, the powerful beings born in the future of this world, when they have the ability to break through the shackles, can also follow the passage that Xiaojing and I left through to enter the Great Thousand World and pursue a higher level."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up with undisguised elation, and their previous anxiety vanished completely.

Some couldn't contain their excitement, their voices trembling: "Now there's nothing to worry about! We, on behalf of the future little ones, thank the Lord of this plane for His protection!"

Chen Xiao accepted their bows without hesitation, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and his tone became more solemn as he said, "You must all remember that the prosperity of this realm ultimately depends on yourselves. I can protect its stability, but I will not interfere in the details. Only when your descendants grow up will this realm truly be built upon its foundation!"

Simply put, unless this platform faces another crisis of destruction, once Chen Xiao leaves, he will not interfere in anything, including their internal competition and development.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became even more respectful. The leading elder led the group in a deep bow, his aged voice filled with solemnity: "We will certainly do our utmost to cultivate the next generation, and will never fail the expectations of the plane's lord, nor let this hard-won peace be destroyed in an instant!"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly. "You may go now. Xiao Jing and I will stay for a while to relocate to another dimension. Once we're done, we'll leave. There's no need to come looking for me again."

Before anyone could react, they found themselves teleported tens of thousands of feet away by Chen Xiao, and could only leave one after another, looking back every three steps.

Chen Xiao didn't linger there any longer. After seeing off the group of people from the Holy Dragon Sect, he took Qing Yanjing and flew away into the distance.

Along the way, his gaze swept over the ravaged land below, his fingertips twitching slightly.

In an instant, a gentle dimensional power emanated from between heaven and earth, sprinkling down in all directions like spring rain.

The mountains and rivers destroyed by the Blood Evil Clan are now sprouting and growing at a visible speed, and the broken mountain ranges and ravines are slowly coming together, gradually regaining some of their former vitality.

Qing Yanjing stood beside Chen Xiao, watching him bring life to the world with a wave of his hand, a smile flashing in his eyes: "You've just become the ruler of this plane, yet you're not unfamiliar with it at all."

Chen Xiao turned to look at her, smiled, and said, "I've done this kind of thing more than once."

When he first became an emperor on the Dou Qi Continent, he had repaired the mountains and rivers, so he was naturally skilled at it now.

However, Qing Yanjing misunderstood these words, and the smile on her face dimmed slightly.

She remembered that Chen Xiao had also ascended to the Great Thousand World from a lower plane. Perhaps, the lower plane that Chen Xiao was in had also suffered a great calamity, just like this plane.

However, that lower plane was even luckier than the one we're in now. Chen Xiao was able to ascend to the Great Thousand World without any worries, which is enough to show that all the problems have been solved.

Thinking of this, Qing Yanjing became even more curious, but she was not willing to take the initiative to unravel Chen Xiao's painful memories, so she could only forcibly suppress the urge to ask.

"Where do you plan to move this seat?" Qing Yanjing took a deep breath and changed the subject to another topic that she was very interested in.

She hadn't forgotten Chen Xiao's earlier words: a Heavenly Sovereign is a powerful figure in the Great Thousand Worlds, and creating a force is no small matter.

"The far north, the Burning Sky Mountains!" Chen Xiao didn't hide anything.

However, upon hearing this place, Qing Yanjing frowned slightly, puzzled, and said, "Why choose such a remote location? With your current strength, you could easily occupy the entire Tianluo Continent."

Being located on the periphery means that resources within one's jurisdiction are limited.

That's fine, there are still many ways to change things.

However, there is another risk associated with this location.

That is, compared to the continents within the Great Thousand World, it is more vulnerable to attacks from extraterrestrial evil races!

But if they encounter the evil race from beyond the realm, it will be a life-or-death battle!

Qing Yanjing originally thought that Chen Xiao, having stayed in Tianluo Continent for so long and even set up the Ancient Heavenly Palace, would choose Tianluo Continent as his base.

Meeting Qing Yanjing's puzzled gaze, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "The lower plane I was born in is called Dou Qi Continent. The cultivation here is Dou Qi, and Dou Di is the ultimate goal of cultivation."

"There, when one achieves the title of Dou Di, one will give oneself an honorific title. For example, the Soul Emperor you have seen, he comes from the Soul Clan and is very ambitious. Soul Emperor is his imperial title and also his name."

"The title I have given myself is Di Yin Zhen Di. Others often call me Zhen Di, but they do not know that the two words Di Yin are the root. There is my karma in the Burning Heaven Mountains. Although I can ignore it, accepting it will make my thoughts clearer."

"As for the problems you're worried about, they're actually quite easy to solve. Moreover, dealing more with the extraterrestrial evil races will be more beneficial for the growth of our powerful subordinates. In the future, with me stationed in the far north, that place will become an insurmountable barrier for the extraterrestrial evil races!"

Looking at the confident and radiant Chen Xiao, the doubts in Qing Yanjing's eyes dissipated, replaced by a strange light and a sudden realization that even she hadn't noticed.

At this moment, she finally realized that none of these people who ascended from lower planes were simple, and none of them could be viewed with conventional eyes.

"If that's the case, then so be it." Qing Yanjing smiled faintly, her fingertips brushing against the strands of hair at her temples. "Although the Burning Heaven Mountains are in a remote location, they are also quiet. If we go there, we can keep a low profile and avoid a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but glance at her again.

They're still too young; they can easily say things that could be misunderstood if they're not careful.

Qing Yanjing seemed to realize that she had let something slip, and her pretty face flushed red, her ears burning hot.

She hurriedly turned her face away, her gaze falling on the newly sprouted grass below. Her fingertips unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes, but she didn't try to argue. She simply lowered her voice and changed the subject.

"Have you decided on a name yet?"

"Back in the Dou Qi Continent, my power was called Zixiao Pavilion. I will definitely move the Dou Qi Continent to the far north later. The strong people under my command will still be the core members, so let's just call it Zixiao Palace."

The vast world is not the primordial wilderness, so Chen Xiao didn't care about anything and directly continued using the name he had in the Dou Qi Continent.

"Purple Cloud Palace—"

Qingyan silently recited it a few times, and found it quite easy to pronounce, so he didn't say anything more.

In the days that followed, Chen Xiao spent his days shifting between different planes; this was the only thing he needed to do before leaving.

After becoming the master of a plane, moving between planes becomes very simple, requiring little thought and can be controlled with a single thought.

However, this seat is quite far from the far north, which means it will take a considerable amount of time to complete.

In this lower plane, with nothing else to do, even cultivation had to be temporarily put aside. Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing were like carefree wanderers, taking in the wonders and scenic spots of this lower plane. Occasionally, when the mood struck them, they would leave behind some inheritances and opportunities. Although their time was ordinary, it was also leisurely and fulfilling.

This state of affairs continued for six months until, finally, on this day, the plane was moved to a location below the far north.

"Let's go, we should head back—"

Above the former site of Blood Demon Mountain, Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing returned to this place once again.

The main reason for setting the ascension passage here is to make things easier for future generations of people in this world.

After all, this place is absolutely of extraordinary significance to the people of this plane.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xiao's thoughts stirred, and the power of the plane, like an invisible giant hand, directly tore open a plane passage more than a hundred feet wide in the sky.

Sensing the familiar scent emanating from the passage, Chen Xiao nodded to Qing Yanjing, and a blank stone tablet slid from his fingers and stood on the ground.

At that instant, a message flooded the minds of all living beings in this world.

Only by leaving your full name on the stone tablet can you have a chance to safely reach the world!

This blank stele is a test!

To safely reach the Great Thousand World through the dimensional portal, one must at least possess the power of a Supreme Being. Chen Xiao deliberately left this stone tablet to remind the younger generation of this world not to harbor any illusions.

Having done all this, Chen Xiao had no more hesitation. Just like when he first stepped into the spatial node, he grabbed Qing Yanjing's wrist and rushed towards the dimensional passage.

However, unlike before, this time Qing Yanjing was not so cooperative, or to be precise, not very well-behaved.

She repeatedly tried to free her hand from Chen Xiao's grasp, seeking a more agreeable method.

However, Chen Xiao's hand seemed to be made of iron, and no matter how gently she struggled, it did not budge.

His strength wasn't great, but it carried an unwavering certainty that left her no room to break free. He neither hurt her nor gave her any chance to succeed.

After trying several times without success, Qing Yanjing slightly pouted, a hint of frustration flashing in her eyes—
