Two hours had passed since the Celestial Pce had begun copsing. Wang Chong and his three Divine Embryos had been operating at essentially full capacity throughout, and they had expended an enormous amount of energy.
At this time, Wang Chong was ghastly pale and his aura was weak. His back was drenched in sweat, but he was satisfied and pleased.
Regardless of anything else, this crisis had been resolved.
“Only thest step left,” Wang Chong muttered. Rather than letting his guard down, he became even more serious than before.
In the depths of the Celestial Pce was a special region where some people were imprisoned. These people were extremely precious to Wang Chong, and they were why Wang Chong had persisted until now and did not dare to be careless.
Bang!
Wang Chong took in a deep breath and activated his Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art. There was a great rumble as four Yin Yang symbols appeared around the Celestial Pce, and Wang Chong and his three Divine Embryos began to exert a powerful pull.
With a howl, the surrounding worldly energy and the universal energy from the surrounding dimensions flowed into Wang Chong and his three Divine Embryos.
This energy rapidly replenished Wang Chong’s reserves, and his power swelled.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong gathered up this energy and sent it into the Celestial Pce with his own remaining energy.
After a moment of silence, the massive and crumbling Celestial Pce shuddered once more.
Crack! A sharp sound came from the depths of the Celestial Pce, as if something had shattered.
“Sess!”
Wang Chong and the three Divine Embryos immediately fell back.
As Wang Chong and countless people on the ground looked up, a massive fissure appeared at the bottom of the Celestial Pce.
As the fissure opened, several figures that had been imprisoned within dropped out.
“Master!
“Vige Chief!
“Senior Su!
“Lord Zhangchou!”
Those figures dropping out of the Celestial Pce were none other than the hostages Heaven had taken during the battle in the capital that had taken ce right before the third lunar eclipse.
Whoosh!
Wang Chong waved his hand, causing arge Halo of Spacetime to appear beneath the dropping figures and teleport them to Wang Chong’s side.
“Chong-er!”
“King of Foreign Lands!”
Surrounded by Ster Energy, the hostages quickly awoke. Though they had been imprisoned for so long and were weak, they had not suffered any serious wounds, and they were able to quicklye around.
After a moment of surprise, they quickly understood what had happened.
“You saved us!”
“Master, Vige Chief, Senior Su... it’s fine as long as you’re awake!”
Wang Chong was delighted to see his seniors.
After that battle where Wang Chong’s Divine Embryos had been defeated, the Demonic Emperor Old Man and the others had disappeared. Wang Chong had attempted to find where they were imprisoned, but he had not expected it to be in the Celestial Emperor Pce.
Now that he had sessfully saved them, the operation was trulyplete.
Master Guangcheng watched all this from the side and subtly nodded.
He could sense that these people were important friends to Wang Chong.
Rumble!
A metallic tter drew everyone’s attention. In the sky, the Celestial Pce, having lost all its power,pletely copsed. It was now nothing more than a pile of debris that plummeted to the ground.
“Ah!”
Cries of rm came from the ground. It was clear that the popce of the capital had seen what was happening.
“Master, the rest of you, please rest.”
Wang Chong nced up at the Celestial Pce.
Heaven had wasted eons of effort on the Celestial Pce, and even though it hadpletely crumbled, its empty shell was still enormously heavy and needed to be taken care of.
“Mm, Chong-er, I leave this ce to you. Vige Chief, General Su, let’s go!”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man was very straightforward. He knew that they were in no state to help out, so he quickly led the group back down to the ground.
As they left, the Celestial Pce fell apart into two halves, plummeting to the ground with countless pieces of debris.
Wang Chong and the three Divine Embryos shot forward. Arriving beneath the Celestial Pce, they joined together to create a massive spacetime tunnel through which the Celestial Pce and all of the debris fell.
Though the Celestial Pce had been destroyed, this edifice would always present a problem. Wang Chong didn’t have the thought of wasting tens of thousands of years building another Celestial Pce, but there was no telling who else might be harboring such ambitions and think about trying to do something with the remnants of the Celestial Pce.
Thus, Wang Chong threw the remains through a spacetime passage and into the depths of space.
Given its inertia, Wang Chong was confident that the Celestial Pce’s remnants would travel far away from this world, and no one would ever be able to find it.
......
Whoosh!
Four hourster, Wang Chong sighed in relief and finally walked out of the spacetime passage.
Everything was done, and he was sure that the Celestial Pce would never again appear in the Central ins.
Boom!
As Wang Chong appeared, heaven-shaking cheers erupted from the ground.
“King of Foreign Lands!”
“King of Foreign Lands!”
“King of Foreign Lands!”
Countless people had been quietly looking up at the air for more than two hours now. Many people had already recollected that forgotten battle, along with everything else.
Upon hearing the cheers, Wang Chong smiled, a stream of warmth in his heart.
Buzz!
Suddenly, there was a strange ripple from the center of his forehead, and he felt familiar voices calling out to him.
Wang Chong’s expression focused, and a momentter, he disappeared. When he next appeared, he was inside the halo divine tool.
Wang Chong immediately saw that familiar estate. It was no longer cold and still, but lit up bynterns, the chattering of peopleing from inside.
Wang Chong rushed into the estate.
“Young Master!”
“Young Master!”
In the rear courtyard of the Wang Family Residence, the servants were whispering to each other. Upon seeing Wang Chong, all of them bowed.
Wang Chong rushed past them without a nce and into the study.
At this moment, Wang Chong was exceptionally excited and impatient.
Creeeak!
Opening the door, Wang Chong flew inside. The room was packed with familiar figures: his big brother, second brother, little sister, and also the trusted maids of the estate. In the very center was a figure that Wang Chong had missed the most.
Everyone was surprised when Wang Chong came in, and then they shouted out in unison.
“Chong-er!”
“Third Brother!”
“Little Brother!”
As he heard these familiar voices and felt these warm and familiar gazes, Wang Chong smiled.
“Mother, Big Brother!”
Wang Chong quickly walked over.
......
The curtain was finally drawn on the Celestial Pce incident, and everything returned to the proper course.
That period of time when they had been under Heaven’s sway had been a nightmare to the popce of the capital. Meanwhile, Wang Chong had finally been restored to his original position.
Without the influence of the Celestial Pce, everyone once more recalled their memories of Wang Chong.
With his family awakened, Wang Chong returned the Wang Family Residence to its original location. As for his subordinates, Old Eagle, Zhang Que, Xue Qianjun... they also returned to his side.
Several monthster, it seemed like the Celestial Pce incident had been an illusion, and everyone cast it to the back of their minds.
The capital became bustling once more, pedestrians and trade caravans going in and out of the gates in hundreds of thousands.
“Everyone will rush to any ce in the world for the sake of profit...”
On the balcony of Taibai Pavilion, close to the King of Foreign Lands Residence, Wang Chong, wearing a ck robe with a golden dragon embroidered upon it, sat in front of the railing and looked over the capital.
His face was indifferent and handsome, his every movement exuding a unique charm that enchanted others.
From Wang Chong’s seat, he could see the thronging crowds of the capital flowing back and forth through the streets.
A hundred years ago, Emperor Taizong had beheld the same scene and uttered the same words, but their moods had been entirely different.
This bustling scene was an ordinary day in the capital. Wang Chong had seen it countless times in the past, but at this moment, Wang Chong felt iparable satisfaction and peace.
The country was at peace!
Was this ordinary scene not exactly what he had sought?
“You’re very bold to dare to utter His Majesty Taizong’s poem out in public. Are you not afraid of criticism from the imperial censors?” a teasing voice said from the side.
“Let them be. When the timees, I’ll say that the one who said it was the former Crown Prince, now the Virtuous King,” Wang Chong immediately retorted.
At these words, the two exchanged a nce andughed.
After the Celestial Pce incident, Li Xuantu had seemingly realized that he truly didn’t have many rtives in this world. No matter how much he hated Li Taiyi, and even if Li Taiyi wasn’t actually a member of the House of Li but a transmigrator from another world, the blood of the House of LI had still flowed through his body.
That sense of istion and despair he had felt in the Celestial Pce had greatly changed him.
After that day, he had gone into the Imperial Pce, found Li Heng, and had a long chat thatstedte into the night with him.
Li Heng had been extremely moved, epting his uncle and granting him the title of Virtuous King.
But Wang Chong knew that this ‘Virtuous King’ had nothing to do with the word ‘virtue’. So long as he wanted, he could even pull Li Heng down and make himself Emperor.
In private, Wang Chong had already teased Li Xuantu for this title several times.
