Covering the Sky: The Years I Was the Empress's Strictest Master

As the darkness and turmoil outside slowly unfold...

The spiritual treasure array diagrams surrounding the town have been fully revived. The array diagrams slowly solidified from their illusory state, radiating an unprecedentedly dazzling immortal light.

An aura of killing intent surged into the sky.

This was not an attack, but rather a spontaneous effort to conceal and hide all the energy of this place, resisting the carpet-like probing of the five supreme beings from the Big Dipper, who had already scattered throughout the starry sky.

Splash...

The divine will of the array diagram was fluctuating violently, actively communicating with Tan Lin as if asking a question.

On one side,

As time went on, the chaotic energy around Li Qingjue surged even more violently.

The breath rose and fell, indicating that the performance was nearing its end.

Although she could vaguely sense the tumultuous changes happening outside, she seemed to be temporarily isolated by her overwhelming willpower, focusing all her efforts on attacking that final barrier.

At that moment, in her eyes, it wasn't her brother who died, nor her master who was being harvested, so what did it have to do with her?

suddenly,

Tianling had opened her eyes at some point.

She slowly rose, her purple robes fluttering slightly amidst the pervasive chaotic energy and the celestial light of the array diagrams, her shimmering eyes fixed on Tan Lin.

Amidst the external turmoil, her exquisitely beautiful face remained expressionless.

She simply gazed affectionately at Tan Lin's profile with her heterochromatic purple-gold eyes, watching him silently stare into the void.

Da...da...

The next moment,

With light, graceful steps, she arrived beside Tan Lin.

As she got closer, she could vaguely sense that the vast, ocean-like, and blazing blood and energy within her man's body seemed to be boiling uncontrollably.

Her thoughts were in turmoil.

A thought suddenly occurred to him, and a somewhat absurd possibility came to mind.

Perhaps this stems from the instinct that seems to be etched into the bloodline of the Undying Golden Body?

The indestructible golden body... the Human Emperor...

He wouldn't do something stupid, would he?

As she thought this, her heart tightened slightly.

For her, her thoughts at this moment were not much different from Li Qingjue's. The Tianxuan Ancient Clan had been destroyed, so what did it matter to her what happened to the people of the myriad realms?

Who cares about the raging floods outside?

In the subtle silence,

As the magical array diagram revealed a corner of the outside world, the despairing waves emanating from countless corners of the universe, seemingly the cries of all living beings, grew increasingly clear.

Tianling didn't speak, but simply stretched out her slender arm and gently wrapped it around Tan Lin's waist from the side, then pressed her cheek against his broad and taut back.

Feeling the body in her arms stiffen for a moment, Tianling closed her eyes and spoke in a voice so soft it was almost a whisper, audible only to the two of them:

"Don't look...don't listen..."

Her voice paused, as if gathering her thoughts, then took on a rare, almost pleading tone:

“Suiren, I know that in your previous life you were the Suiren Emperor, revered by all of humanity… The karma of your past life as the ‘Human Emperor’ should not become a shackle for you in this life…”

As she spoke, her two slender arms tightened slightly:

“I remember you told me that in this life, you are just Tan Lin. Now I truly hope that you really are just Tan Lin, and not Suiren.”

You possess an indestructible golden body, but it is not yet fully perfected...

Even if you achieve great success, even if you...

But outside are six ancient supreme beings. Promise me you won't go out..."

At this point, she paused slightly, then changed her approach to persuade Tan Lin, trying to help calm the churning blood in his body:

"You've endured for centuries, scheming until now. You didn't do this just to try and stop a chariot before you've truly grown up, and throw your life away in vain, did you?"

"Remember what you said: you are no longer the Human Emperor. What do you care about the lives and deaths of all living beings in the heavens and the billions of creatures?"

In this vast universe, every moment stars perish, civilizations vanish, and living beings experience joy and sorrow... Can you possibly manage it all?

Tianling's voice grew softer and softer, with a barely perceptible tremor:

"I have never wished so much... that you were just Tan Lin."

"Promise me, okay?"

She raised her head, her purplish-gold eyes gazing deeply into Tan Lin's eyes, where there was an unyielding worry and earnestness:

“During this turmoil, you are truly just Tan Lin, for me, for the people you care about, for the things you care about, and for yourself… Don’t act rashly.”

Hearing this, Tan Lin's body remained tense.

His will seemed to be fighting against itself, offering no response, yet his deep gaze still pierced through the void, watching the hellish scene gradually unfolding outside.

wow...

However, the indestructible golden body bloodline within his body was now churning more violently, his blood surging like a great river, and even his bones emitting a slight hum.

At this moment, an impulse, whether from the depths of his soul or from the very source of his bloodline, seemed to be making a decision for him.

Does he know that everything Tianling said makes sense?

The best solution is to lie low, be patient, and wait for the right opportunity.

And that was indeed what he originally thought.

Suirenhuang is now a thing of the past.

In this life, he has a path he has planned out for himself...

He never considered himself a particularly noble person; he only did things according to his own conscience.

Although in his previous life, the human race also revered and supported him as the Human Emperor, the third Human Emperor in history.

However, he believed that compared to the two human holy emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, he did not have the same vision.

In his heart, all living beings in the world may not be as important as the person in his arms, nor as important as his own Dao and immortality!

But...but...

But he has the Soul Pearl of All Causes, which gives him the possibility of starting over. Now that the fireflies are plentiful, why should he lie low and let his mind become tainted?

If we retreat and do not move forward today, what will we use to continue the path that has been cut off after we have achieved the Great Perfection of the Indestructible Golden Body?

Tan Lin's thoughts were in turmoil, and he was caught in a dilemma.

And at that very moment,

The spiritual treasure array diagram, suspended in the void of the Creation Land, seemed to sense a slight abnormality in Tan Lin.

Suddenly, it shone brightly, and the blurry, mysterious patterns in the center of the array began to spin rapidly.

hum...

Suddenly, blurry images were projected onto the void of Creation Land by the array diagram using its supreme divine power, from all corners of the endless distant starry sky.

Among them was the horrific scene of the Supreme Being of the Void devouring billions of lives from the Five Domains of the Big Dipper.

Countless sparks of life rose from the earth and disappeared into that hideous maw, leaving behind only withered bones and despair.

That was the Celestial Venerable of Eternal Life strolling beyond the realm; wherever he passed, auspicious clouds transformed into clouds of death, and celestial light became sharp blades that slayed life.

Whether cultivators or mortals, whether flowers, plants or trees, all withered and died, and he indifferently harvested everything.

The other supreme being of the Undying Mountain, shrouded in demonic mist.

On an ancient star, demonic energy manifested, transforming into a boundless ocean that engulfed the star field, turning countless living beings into skeletons amidst their screams.

Those were the three supreme beings, Fallen Immortal, First Light, and Rebirth, who were also ruthlessly reaping rewards in various life-bearing locations outside the realm.

The stars were dim, the land was shattered, lives were lost, and blood flowed like rivers.

The cries of anguish filled the fields, and the despair shook the heavens.

Parents, clutching their children, turned to ashes; Daoist couples, embracing each other, vanished in despair; cultivators burned their lives in a final, futile attack; mortals knelt and prayed to the countless gods and Buddhas...

One of the images was particularly jarring to Tan Lin.

That was a corner of the Central Plains, an ancient region where the Emperor's Palace once stood, ruling over the eight wastelands.

Although most of the true cultivators of the Human Emperor's Palace had already been relocated to the Human King's Palace lineage in the Ziwei Star Region hundreds of years ago, under the arrangement of the Suiren Emperor who had briefly returned,

But on this land, there are still some cultivators who choose to stay, and countless human people who regard the Suiren Emperor as their faith and worship him generation after generation.

Unrest erupted, darkness spread to the Central Plains, and the people wept blood.

"That 'beast' went to Zhongzhou?"

In the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness, within the Stone Village of Chixia River, a group of elders, including Xiang Li, rose from the ruins created by the imperial pressure of the Supreme Emperor of the Horned Sky.

Their bodies were mangled and covered in blood. They watched as the towering, god-like figure that had once stood between the heavens and earth of the Central Region "vanished," yet they felt no sense of relief at having survived a calamity.

Because they knew that within the three regions of the Eastern Wilderness, there was no possibility that the Southern Region could remain uninvolved.

Their understanding of that supreme being's actions and thoughts was beyond their comprehension. Perhaps the people of the Central Plains were more prosperous, and instead of heading directly south, the other party chose to head west.

But in any case, after reaping the rewards along the entire Beidou Five Domains, it will eventually be their turn in the Southern Domain.

"Those two beauties from the Chi family were quite decisive; they simply moved the entire Tianchi Mountain Range away..."

Inside the ancestral hall, an elder of the Xiang family sighed with emotion.

This method, while a solution, is not suitable for the Xiang family.

Because their ancestral temple and even the root of their heritage are firmly bound to the abyss deep within the stone village, it is impossible to move it without the means of an emperor.

Besides, even if their ancestral land could be moved, they themselves wouldn't want to relocate.

At my advanced age, I wander abroad like a lost soul, rootless and adrift, finding no meaning in life.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Li glanced at him.

He sighed, his cloudy eyes gazing outwards. Turmoil was brewing, and "that person" did not appear, just as he had hoped.

But for some reason, while he felt a sense of relief, he also inexplicably felt a pang of disappointment...

……

clatter……

The Supreme Being of the Horned Void strode in from the Central Region of the Eastern Wilderness, his aura causing the void to collapse.

Before he could even begin to reap the rewards, many areas around Zhongzhou, where no predecessors or traces of their Dao existed, were already torn apart, with mountains and rivers collapsing.

Even in those places where there were originally established lineages, most ordinary forces could not escape the pressure of the Supreme Being.

At this moment, on the edge of the territory of the Human Emperor's Palace, countless human beings knelt before their homes, which were gradually turning into scorched earth, and beside the bones of their loved ones who had turned to dust.

"father!!"

"Mother, wake up..."

"What exactly happened? Can anyone tell me..."

"How did the world suddenly become like this..."

"..."

At this moment, everyone was crying out in despair.

They gazed in terror at the demon-like figure high in the sky, then turned their gaze involuntarily towards the core of the Human Emperor's Palace lineage, that sacred land that remained unmoved under the oppressive aura.

One after another, they began to pray with hoarse voices:

"Where are you, fellow immortal masters of the Human Emperor's Palace?!"
