Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

Donghu Lake is bustling with tourists, and boats shuttle back and forth on the water, fully expressing the gentle charm of the Jiangnan water towns.

Several young men and women sat in a chartered lake boat.

The air conditioning on the lake boat kept it cool, even though it was scorching hot outside. The lake water shimmered and sparkled, like twinkling stars.

"It is said that during the Han Dynasty, Donghu often suffered from severe drought, and the people were in great distress. At the critical moment, a golden ox appeared from the bottom of the water and spewed out clear spring water, saving the parched land."

"After that, whenever there was a severe drought, the golden ox would appear to help and was regarded as a guardian deity by the people. Therefore, this lake was also called Golden Ox Lake."

A handsome young man dressed casually was talking eloquently, drawing admiring glances from the men and women surrounding him.

"Brother Duan, you have such a wealth of knowledge! No wonder you're consistently among the top five in your grade at our school, a true high achiever!"

One of the male students said in a flattering tone.

"Yes, yes, Brother Duan is really amazing. I didn't know there was such a story behind East Lake."

Several female classmates, dressed in their finest attire, chimed in with their own praise, not wanting to be outdone.

Duan Yongchang's son, who is the center of attention, is a handsome boy with good grades, comes from a wealthy family, and is generous.

Such a person is definitely a star on campus; teachers like them, classmates like them, and everyone tries to curry favor with them.

Duan Yong smiled modestly: "Actually, it's alright. I just like to read a lot of books in my spare time."

As he said this, he secretly glanced at a beautiful girl in the crowd who was silently looking at the outside of the lake boat while resting her chin on her hand.

The girl's name was Jiang Churou. She was also the kind of person who was the center of attention at her school, a school beauty, and she had even better grades, often ranking second or even first in the grade exams.

Moreover, it is said that Jiang Churou comes from an extremely well-off family. Her father is a high-ranking official, and her mother's family has been in business for generations. She belongs to the top-tier "rich, beautiful, and successful" type.

Duan Yong invited everyone to visit East Lake in Qiantang City under the guise of being classmates after the college entrance examination, but his main purpose was for her.

Seeing that his cramming yesterday hadn't caught the attention of his crush, Duan Yong frowned and tried to start a conversation: "Jiang, the college entrance exam is over. Where did you get in?"

Jiang Churou withdrew her gaze and looked at the male classmate who was trying to make his presence known, and said softly, "Shanghai Jiaotong University."

Duan Yong feigned surprise and exclaimed with delight, "I also got into Shanghai Jiao Tong University! Then we'll still be classmates!"

"When we get to university, we old classmates should get together more often."

Jiang Churou casually responded, fully aware of Duan Yong's thoughts, but she had absolutely no interest in this classmate.

Duan Yong scratched his head, unsure what his goddess was interested in, so he tried to change the subject: "By the way, do you guys remember that giant Buddha image that appeared in the sky over the East China Sea?"

Duan Yong said mysteriously.

The other students excitedly replied, "I remember, I remember! Shanghai is a coastal city on the East China Sea. I watched that Buddha shadow for a long time back then."

"Yes, I also woke up in the middle of the night to go to the riverbank to see it. Our fleet was also there, confronting the allied fleet of the enemy country in the East China Sea. Many people online said that some kind of rare treasure had appeared in the East China Sea and everyone was fighting over it."

"A rare treasure has appeared in the world? You've been reading too many cultivation novels. Besides, even if you were to fight for it, who goes out with a fleet to fight for it?"

Everyone laughed and joked, showing great interest in this mysterious event.

Duan Yong also showed curiosity when he saw Jiang Churou, and listened intently. His expression changed, and he whispered, "I'm going to tell you a secret."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, even the goddess was looking at him, Duan Yongxi was overjoyed. He said, "My mother is a devout Buddhist. She donated a lot of money to a temple in Shanghai and has a very good relationship with the master there."

"As you probably know, many large temples in the country have recently been surrounded by the military, and there are many different opinions about what happened inside."

"That master was in the know. He secretly told my mom that there was a rumor online that was true—that the Buddha statues in the temple had come to life!"

"When I came to East Lake this time, my mother also wanted me to go to the Yinxiu Temple to pray, but as you can see, the Yinxiu Temple was also surrounded by the army."

He had barely finished speaking when

Rapid gunfire rang out from the direction of the Hermitage Temple, not far from East Lake.

"Holy crap, what's going on? What holiday is it today? Why are they setting off so many firecrackers?"

Everyone was startled by the sudden noise.

Duan Yong and a few other boys felt something was wrong.

They often played FPS games, and Duan Yong had even played with real guns in the United States. Upon hearing the sound, and realizing that the sound came from the Hidden Monastery, which was surrounded by troops, they immediately recognized it.

Their expressions immediately changed drastically, and they exclaimed, "That's not firecrackers, that's gunfire!"

Hearing the dense bursts of gunfire, everyone was filled with fear, not knowing what was happening.

"Look to the east, those dark clouds look so strange!"

Someone gasped.

Looking eastward, thick, dark clouds were expanding rapidly at a visible speed, churning and swirling like boiling ink.

Soon, the whole world darkened; the speed at which the dark clouds spread was beyond imagination.

In the pitch black, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

"Boom—"

The deafening thunder shook the ship violently, and amidst screams, everyone grabbed onto the handrails beside them.

then,

Purple lightning roared across the sky, hundreds of bolts of lightning fell, and countless flashes of light illuminated the entire sky, as if the world had been torn apart.

"Holy crap! Who...who is this fellow Daoist undergoing tribulation here?"

The students stared in disbelief at the scene. Just one glance at the lightning gave them a terrifying feeling that their eyes were about to go blind, their whole body was numb, and they were about to be completely struck dead.

Jiang Churou suddenly stood up, looking excitedly at the scene that resembled the end of the world.

From a young age, she was interested in supernatural powers and mythical stories, and she loved reading all kinds of online novels, fantasizing that one day she would become a superpowered person.

However, she was realistic and knew that these were all fantasies, and she didn't dare to tell anyone.

However, the various supernatural events that have occurred recently have made Jiang Churou suspect that there may be supernatural powers in this world, and that these supernatural powers are emerging in large numbers recently.

For example, the lightning that appeared in front of us could not possibly be a natural phenomenon; it was more likely caused by some powerful being.

Jiang Churou's thoughts at this moment were the same as many others: she wondered if there really was a cultivator undergoing tribulation.

The lightning struck for a long time before finally dissipating, but the people on the lake boat were completely stunned, as if struck by lightning themselves. With each breath, they seemed to smell the burning in the air.

"Huh? What time is it?"

Suddenly,

Someone asked a strange question.

Duan Yong took out his phone and subconsciously said, "3:15 PM."

"Then...why was the moon out in the afternoon, and why were there so many stars?"

Everyone involuntarily looked up at the sky through the ship's windows.

A colossal star map appeared before everyone's eyes in unparalleled splendor, awe-inspiring everyone.

Daylight turned into night.

This is the shifting of stars and constellations.

"Look, there's a star that looks like... it's fallen!"

……

The secluded temple was utterly silent, and all beings seemed lost in thought.

Master Xuanwei, the management bureau practitioners led by Peng Shaoxun, and the elite troops from the nearby military region all stared in shock at the man standing atop a temple.

At that moment, he seemed to become the center of the universe, like a giant black hole, capturing everyone's attention and mind.

He stood there, and his mere presence captivated the hearts and minds of all beings.

Noble, aloof, ethereal, composed, high above, as lofty as the heavens!

In contrast to the stunned and shocked crowd, Zi Qixing felt only despair and fear.

He stared blankly at the person, his whole body ice-cold, as if he had returned to the distant past, to that era known as the Ancient Heaven.

The young man in front of him was not wearing the black robe he was wearing, nor was he wearing the strange bronze mask.

He was so young and handsome, yet he was dressed casually.

But his arrogant demeanor, his disdainful gaze that seemed to look down upon all living beings and gods, already spoke volumes about his identity.

There's no mistake, absolutely no mistake, it's him, it really is him!

Why is he here? Why did he live a second life?

Why didn't he become an immortal?

So many of us wished you to attain enlightenment and become a supreme immortal, so why did you choose to bring us despair in this mortal world?

Everything around him quickly faded from Zi Qixing's consciousness.

He seemed to have returned to the ancient times, when the gods ruled over all living beings and all things under the name of the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Emperor's might overwhelms the universe, and no one dares to defy His majesty.

In the ancient Heavenly Court, the gods each had their own duties and did their own thing. Everything—heaven and earth, the four seasons, reincarnation, the stars, life and death, and so on—was in the hands of these ancient gods.

No one could resist, and no one dared to resist.

Until he appeared.

Donghuang Taiyi!

No one knows his past, no one knows where he was born.

When his name appeared before the world, it already possessed an unparalleled aura that could dominate all ages!

Zi Qixing still remembers it clearly.

This man stepped into the Heavenly Court, standing before them with an air of supreme authority, looking down upon all the gods, and laughing at all the ups and downs.

At that time, some overconfident ancient gods challenged him, and they vanished without a trace. Even the concept of laws was destroyed by him.

Enraged, the Heavenly Emperor ordered 360 star deities, led by the Sun and the Moon, to form a grand celestial array to slay this intruder who dared to challenge the majesty of the ancient Heavenly Court.

Ziqi Star is one of the 360 ​​star lords.

He experienced the battle where stars fell, and he witnessed firsthand how the heavens lost their starlight and turned into the despair and nothingness of eternal night.

The Purple Qi Star calendar is right before my eyes.

He still clearly remembers that in the ancient Heavenly Court, within the Zhou Tian Star Array.

The two leading star deities, the Sun and the Moon, possessed unparalleled beauty, and they berated this man, asking, "Who are you?"

The man simply said calmly, "I am Heaven, the Primordial Great Luo Heaven!"

then,

He raised a hand and crushed the Sun Star Lord's exquisitely beautiful head, a head so stunning that even the Heavenly Emperor had been captivated by it.

With a single sword strike, he shattered the head and limbs of the Moon Goddess, who was adored by countless gods and was known as the Fairy of the Moon Palace.

Its ruthlessness and mercilessness made people realize the truth even in extreme fear.

He truly is "Heaven," treating all things as mere straw dogs!

Ziqi Star is only one of the four companion stars of Taiyin Star, and it is the weaker one.

He didn't even know how he died; the only consolation was that he died peacefully.

What happened after that was beyond Ziqi Star's knowledge.

However, after his reincarnation, he also met with some reincarnated immortals from the time of the Immortal Path.

The ancient heavens were shattered, the ancient Dao was obliterated, and even heaven and earth were divided into four, separated by the sea of ​​stars.

The so-called ancient gods have all become legends in the eyes of later generations of cultivators.

At last,

It was still this "heaven" who won.

Even the Heavenly Emperor who ruled over the ancient heavens probably had his head turned into a chamber pot.

Alas, even though the Heavenly Emperor is invincible, he cannot stop the enemy from coming from the heavens!

Let's return to the present.

Zi Qixing stared blankly at the 'Heaven'.

He gave a bitter laugh and plopped down on the ground.

After his identity was confirmed, he stopped screaming and even stopped feeling fear. In fact, he felt a rare sense of peace.

There is no need to resist, nor is it necessary to resist.

There's no need to even think about escaping.

Since he's here, the best option might be to just sit down and wait to die.

Their plan to kill the Empress, seize control of the various Xia states, and rebuild the ancient Heavenly Court failed.

Isn't Qin Zijun some kind of enlightened monk? Why did he suddenly transform into the "Primordial Great Luo Heaven"?

Zi Qixing was completely baffled.

He felt the deep malice the world held towards him.

I knew long ago that the Primordial Great Luo Heaven had also reincarnated, and that it was in the land of China.

He said he would never come to Zhuxia and would absolutely not follow the "reincarnation" in its suicidal plan.

If he had known this would happen, he would have fled Earth and gone to the moon to seek refuge with the soon-to-be-reincarnated Taiyin Star Lord.

When the Moon Goddess hears that there is a "Primordial Great Luo Heaven" on Earth, she will probably stay on the moon obediently and not come down.

Being able to serve that beautiful and flawless star lord all by himself is something many ancient star lords envy, and this is certainly a pleasant thing.

But all of this can only remain a fantasy.

Zi Qixing raised her head and looked at Qin Zijun.

He held a 'star' in his hand, which was the true form of the Purple Qi Star.

Zi Qixing's true spirit began to ache faintly; his life was now in Zi Qixing's grasp.

Qin Zijun held the 'Star' in his hand, his calm and indifferent gaze fixed on Zi Qixing, and asked, "Aren't you going to put up a fight?"

Zi Qixing grinned: "If I beg for mercy, will you spare my life?"

Qin Zijun thought about it seriously and shook her head, saying, "No."

Since your target is Miss Jiang, and since it's me, then there's absolutely no chance of you surviving.

Qin Zijun was never a merciful person; he would kill anyone who was hostile to him, no matter how pitiful the other party was.

Those who didn't die were only spared because Qin Zijun was temporarily useful to them.

But the Purple Qi Star is useless to him.

Zi Qi Xing stopped speaking.

He really didn't understand how Qin Zijun managed to pluck the stars from the sky when spiritual energy had just recovered and everyone was at most at the Outer Realm!

It is precisely because everyone's highest realm is the Outer Realm that these ancient gods are immune to harm and are truly immortal.

They only have two gods, yet they dare to oppose all the reincarnations of the various Xia kingdoms!

My lord, I'm sorry, I have to go first. I'll be waiting for you by the roadside in the underworld. I believe we'll be reunited soon!
