Chapter 609: Chapter 608: What is the relationship between the man in black robe and me in Du Ye?

Du Ye Messenger was a thoughtful Heavenly Immortal, who had visited the Observer’s world back when the Immortal Ascension Ladder still existed.

There, he learned of a peculiar phenomenon discovered by the cultivators of the Observer’s civilization – a mysterious tiny black speck that seemed to appear and vanish inexplicably.

Initially, Du Ye Messenger dismissed it as a quirk noticed by the unsophisticated beings of the Lower Realm who found everything extraordinary.

But, after scrutinizing it, he became concerned that he, too, was unable to comprehend its nature.

This was odd. His Bai Ze bloodline and his Heavenly Immortal cultivation meant he was well-versed in a myriad of phenomena. Why then could he not understand this tiny black speck?

Du Ye Messenger researched for a while, but failing to come to a conclusion, he returned to the Immortal Realm, letting the matter slide.

Nevertheless, he remembered this incident until the Heavenly Dao gained consciousness, the Immortal Realm’s powerhouses began their internal strife, and the Immortal Ascension Ladder was severed.

He remembered the Dao’s words echoing in the mind sea of every Heavenly Immortal, that amid the impending catastrophe that threatened the Ten Thousand Realms, the Immortal Realm could not remain indifferent. To survive the disaster, they had to eradicate all life before disaster struck. Afterward, the Dao would remake the Ten Thousand Realms and bring about an era of peace.

But what was this impending catastrophe? The Dao never said, and Du Ye Messenger’s subtle inquiries to several Golden Immortals yielded no answers.

Du Ye Messenger was distressed, unable to imagine what could potentially annihilate the Ten Thousand Realms, including the Immortal Realm.

It was then that he remembered the tiny black speck observed by the Observer’s world.

He suspected that the black speck was connected to the impending catastrophe.

Unfortunately, the Observer’s world had not observed the black speck many times, not enough to deduce a pattern.

Time, the Observer’s world needed time.

Du Ye Messenger decided to protect the Observer’s world, seeing as it was under the jurisdiction of the Honghu Messenger.

He appeared as a hooded man and told the three sovereigns how to save the world. The Honghu Messenger, completely unaware of this, found the three sovereigns troublesome. They had bound their life and the life of the whole human race together, making them a tough problem.

Honghu Messenger had tried multiple times to obliterate the Observer’s civilization using various tactics, but under the ever-watchful eyes of omnipresent cameras, there was no room for any conspiracy to unfold.

Eventually, the Honghu Messenger simply gave up on destroying the Observer’s world and sent a monster at the late-stage of Earth Immortal to pummel the three sovereigns.

At least that would vent his frustrations.

The Observer civilization did not disappoint Du Ye Messenger. They truly discerned several patterns related to the tiny black speck, especially those concerning the convergence of possibilities, which aligned with the rule of possibilities and were thus convincing.

The black speck even turned into a black tide, brushing past the fringe of the Immortal Realm unnoticed. Du Ye Messenger only discovered it when he secretly observed the footage.

With the means at Du Ye Messenger’s disposal, it was a piece of cake to secretly watch the video without the three sovereigns knowing.

Later, the black speck devoured half of the Respected God-hidden statue. What was the Respected God-hidden? It was an embodiment of the Dao. The meaning implied by the statue being half-devoured was horrifying.

Du Ye Messenger concluded that the black tide was the catastrophe the Dao had mentioned.

Everything was perfect. The Observer civilization no longer held any value and could be discarded. As for how to destroy the world, that was a problem for Honghu Messenger to deal with.

What did the hooded man have to do with me, Du Ye Messenger?

Then, Honghu Messenger abruptly died.

All the worlds under Honghu Messenger’s charge were transferred to Du Ye Messenger’s management.

On hearing the decision from his superiors, Du Ye Messenger felt a surge of desperation. He considered bringing the Human Emperor of Jiuzhou to wage war against the Immortal Realm.

If I am to die, none of you shall live either.

After some calm deliberation, Du Ye Messenger decided to survive as long as he could and abandoned this thought.

He attempted to annihilate the Observer’s civilization, only to realize that it was as impregnable as a fortress with no weaknesses to exploit.

Every plot was fruitless against the three sovereigns. If he attempted to kill the three of them, he risked the birth of an embryonic Dao. This led to a dead end.

Du Ye Messenger realized that the solution lay in the Star Weapon.

He would try it first, and consider other options if it didn’t work.

As for the stupid idea of Honghu Messenger to send a monster, he would use that too.

Throughout the journey, Du Ye Messenger kept contemplating about the Observer’s civilization. When he returned to his senses, he realized he had reached the Golden Que Cloud Palace in Pure Sky.

This place was shrouded in celestial energy and Dao charm, with primordial clouds curling up. If a mortal were here, a single inhale would elevate them to the Qi Cultivation Stage.

This place was full of opportunities.

Du Ye Messenger quickly composed himself and accompanied Minghuo Immortal Monarch to pay respect to the Immortal Emperor.

All the Golden Immortals of the Immortal Realm were gathered here.

Among these Golden Immortals, Minghuo Immortal Monarch was considered among the strongest. He bypassed several Golden Immortals to take the front row and said, “Greetings to the Immortal Emperor.”

The Immortal Emperor wore a flat celestial crown, adorned in a golden-silk robe, epitomizing nobility. His eyes were pitch-black Sans white iris, resembling the unfathomable abyss.

The Immortal Emperor sat in the palace, not uttering a word, exuding an overwhelmingly burdensome presence. It was as though he carried an immense, unmeasurable celestial mountain on his back, unable to straighten up.

Four attendants stood behind the Emperor, representing the clan leaders of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise clans.

“So, this is the realm of Primordial Immortal,” Du Ye Messenger murmured to himself. No matter how many times he visited the Emperor, he always felt envious, hoping he could reach the threshold of Primordial Immortal in his lifetime.

The chance to see the Primordial Immortal was rare, only appearing when the Dao gained consciousness. The Dao ancestor made a move, and the five Primordial Immortals displayed their divine skills. He was thoroughly impressed by their realm.

Several Golden Immortals kneeled down and said, “Long live the Immortal Emperor, eternal, and limitless!”

The Immortal Emperor’s dark eyes swept over his officials and he slowly said, “Arise, my beloved officials.”

“Thank you, Immortal Emperor.”

“After nine thousand years of effort, the number of universes throughout the heavens has decreased to one-fifth of what it previously was. Moreover, even this one-fifth is on the brink of destruction. This is indeed a fortunate development.”

“Today I have invited you all here for one purpose, to prepare to initiate the Grand Purge and hasten the remaining one-fifth of the realms towards the abyss of destruction.”

As these words were pronounced, the bodies of the Golden Immortals slightly trembled, astounded by the sudden decision, which was much faster than previously planned.

According to the original plan, the Grand Purge was to happen in three to five thousand years, not now.

However, discussing government affairs in the presence of the Immortal Emperor was inappropriate.

Moreover, there was not much to discuss. It was merely about sealing the loose ends. The means to destroy the worlds would become more overt and audacious.

Even if the measures were drastic and the embryonic Dao was created, with so many Golden Immortals and Primordial Immortals like the Respected God-hidden present, what was there to be afraid of?

The new-born embryonic Dao would find no escape from them.

As long as no embryonic Dao that had been in existence for a long time and had begun metamorphosis appeared, everything was manageable.

The Immortal Emperor, satisfied with the attitudes of his officials, continued, “The Respected God-hidden has pointed out that the time of calamity is unpredictable, preparations must be made in advance, and the process of world destruction must be accelerated.”

“The Ancestor will take charge of the Underworld, and I of the Ten Thousand Realms.”
