🕑 Added 2025-08-31 16:14:56 +0000 UTC"Sorry for making everyone wait," Yun Wuji said as he reached his destination. Inside, everyone was already standing, waiting for him.
In the hall, a large crowd had gathered, and the most conspicuous thing about them was that they were all women. Every single one of Yun Wuji's women was there, along with the two thousand disciples of the Frozen Cloud, Dongfang Hanwei, Fairy Zixuan, Yan Wu, and others.
There were also Cang Shuhe andโฆ Rui Yi? Wait, what the fuck is this woman doing here?
"It is our honor to wait for the Great Emperor to arrive, right, little darling?" Ch Wuyao suddenly laughed in a soft, gentle, and bewitching manner.
Yun Wuji glanced at her, then shifted his gaze to the four women standing beside her. His face twitched slightly. Beside her were Jun Xilei, Shui Meiyin, Shui Yingyue, and He Ling. Confused, he asked, "What are these four doing here?"
The women stared at him nervously, while Shui Meiyin winked at him mischievously.
"Did my little darling forget? Shui Qianheng and Jun Wuming helped us quite a bit back then, so as a reward, I thought it would be a good idea to give these little girls the opportunity to enter the Eternal Heaven Pearl." Chi Wuyao's breasts bounced slightly as she let out a soft giggle. She patted He Ling's head and said, "As for this little one, even with your protection, the Wood Spirits are too weak. I want to give her a chance to grow stronger and protect her own race."
"..." Yun Wuji narrowed his eyes and stared at Chi Wuyao for a few moments before looking away. Her reasons seemed reasonable and logical, and they might convince others, but not him. Over the past few months, this woman had tried countless times to expand his harem, if he hadn't stopped her.
Chi Wuyao had criticized him many times, saying that even the lowliest mortal Emperor had over three thousand concubines, and even someone as worthless as the Southern Sea God Emperor or the Thousand Desolation Crown Prince had ten thousand.
He, as the one and only True Emperor of the Primal Chaos, should have a harem worthy of his status.
Even thinking with his foot, he could guess exactly what she was planning.
Yun Wuji let out a tired sigh and looked away, his gaze falling on Xia Qingyue. At her side stood Yue Wugou, glancing at him with watery eyes. Beyond his mother-in-law, three more women were present; Jin Yue, Lian Yue, and Yao Yue.
Two Divine Moon Envoys and one Moon God. These three were her closest aides, especially Jin Yue and Lian Yue, who served as her personal attendants.
He didn't bother asking why they were also here. Xia Qingyue would probably claim she needed attendants to serve her.
"...I know it," he muttered as his gaze shifted to Jasmine's side. She had brought her younger sister Caizhi, the flirtatious Moonflower, who was casting seductive glances at him, and the Heavenly Jade Star God, Aster.
He had expected Caizhi and Moonflower, but certainly not Aster.
"Hi, brother-in-law!" Caizhi grinned teasingly at him, waving her hand.
"Yeah, hi," Yun Wuji replied casually before looking away. This little girl was too naughty. She always tried to find an opportunity to make fun of him. Better to avoid dealing with her. He used to laugh at Jasmine always getting the short end of the stick when facing Hei Xiaolian, but now he finally understood her pain.
Finally, when he glanced at Mu Xuanyin and Mu Bingyun's side, he let out a sigh of relief. They had only brought Mu Feixue, which he had expected. Honestly, what he had feared most was Mu Xuanyin arriving with hundreds of female disciples in tow.
She and Chi Wuyao shared the same ideas, and with how much she liked to pamper him, he wouldn't have been surprised if she actually did it.
This was evident from the fact that over a third of the servants in Limitless Emperor City were female disciples from the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect.
Many times, she had directly told him that he was free to do whatever he wanted with them.
Yun Wuji was speechless at how all his women were trying to expand his harem, but he also understood that they were trying to expand their influence on him by growing their own factions.
Heck, even the jealous Qianye Ying'er had brought her two attendants with her, Fu Xian and Yue Ying.
With the addition of all these new women, there were also the Purple River Dragon and the Blue Dragon Emperor, both personally summoned by him.
As for the reason?
Do you really need to ask why?
Just look at those long legs and round thighs on the Blue Dragon Emperor, and that large ass on the Purple River Dragon, and tell me you still need an explanation.
The Purple River may be hating him right now, but with Yun Wuji's charm and abilities, there was a 99.99% chance that once they returned from the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, her attitude would be completely reversed.
Yun Wuji walked over to Chu Yuechan and took Yun Wuxin from her arms. Holding her gently, he stared at her sleeping face before saying, "Since everyone is here, let's get started."
The Eternal Heaven Pearl would only be open for four months, which amounted to 332 years inside the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, flowing at a rate of one to a thousand.
'332 years, 332 years without seeing Shen Xi, sigh...' Yun Wuji let out a heavy, complicated sigh. Shen Xi couldn't stray far from the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword, which was sealed in the Well of Samsara. If she left the Forbidden Land of Samsara for too long, she would simply disappear.
The Eternal Heaven Divine Realm was an independent space. If she entered it without bringing the sword along, she would face the same fate.
Reluctantly, Yun Wuji could only activate the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm without her by his side.
The only good news was that even though 332 years would pass for him, only four months would pass for her.
"Dragon Emperor, I will leave the matter of guarding the Palace to you. Do not allow anyone to get even an inch closer. Once I leave the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, I will fulfill my promise and remove the Limitless Agony Soul Mark, and you all can be free to leave if you wish," Yun Wuji transmitted to the Dragon Emperor of Absolute Beginning, who stood with the other Dragons guarding the Yun Palace.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. No one will be allowed to take even a single step forward unless I am dead," the Dragon Emperor pledged solemnly and respectfully.
With the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm activated, he didn't want anyone disturbing it. Any mistake could lead to disaster. Naturally, Yun Wuji wasn't about to put his and his women's safety in the hands of the Dragons of Absolute Beginning. He had already set up numerous extremely powerful formations, enough to give him time to exit the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm if any attacks occurred.
With everything settled, Yun Wuji took the Eternal Heaven Pearl, and with Hei Xiaolian's help, a white-grey light enveloped the entire hall. In a flash, everyone present vanished.
...
A young man in a grey robe pressed his hand to the ground, injecting his profound energy into the formation. Resplendent light shot out from it, traveling all the way to an extremely tall tower. The man stood up, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Hey, did you see the fight between Fairy Ruo and Fairy Mo? Damn, I never knew a Divine Spirit Realm cultivator could unleash that much power!"
"Of course I did! It's said that over one trillion people watched the fight on the live stream," his friend, also dressed in a grey robe, said. He took out a square-shaped device and waved it at him. "I watched it too, on my iProfound, via the Instaprofound."
The device had a smooth surface and a large glass screen on the front. On the back, there was an insignia of a purple crystal.
Two months ago, the thing called the 'universal internet' was finally launched. Many people were excited about it, especially the extremely large number of people who had worked to build it. Simultaneously, on the day of the internet's release, a merchant guild called the Limitless Imperial Corporation unveiled something they called the iProfound and the Profound Computer.
They said that to connect to this thing called the internet, you would need this device.
The prices weren't very high, only around 15 Purple Profound Crystals or 15 contribution points.
Everyone knew that this merchant guild was owned by the Great Emperor, so many people flocked to buy the two items.
In just a few days, many people bought these strange devices, especially the iProfound. When they used it, they discovered that the odd little programs inside, called apps, could do more than just connect them with friends and family across any distance. They could also access all sorts of news, exchange images and videos, and even play a variety of things called video games.
And the thing that had almost everyone hooked was the social media apps. Many people had registered accounts, and a new culture of live streaming quickly spread across the entire God Realm.
The only downside, according to the government, was that anyone who wanted to use the internet had to pay one Purple Profound Crystal or one contribution point per month as a subscription to enjoy the service.
However, many people found this to be very cheap compared to the benefits it brought them.
In less than a month, tens and hundreds of trillions of people already owned iProfound devices and Profound Computers, creating a new wave of connections that overflowed the world.
Back then, only the king realms had the ability to broadcast across a Divine Region, and even then, it required all of them working together. Now, anyone could do it from anywhere with just a single small device.
This sparked a new wave of broadcasting culture, with people sharing their fights, weapon refinements, pill refinements, and even the simplest moments of their daily lives.
There were even some seniors who did live streams, sharing their experiences and offering cultivation pointers.
"These two are clearly only in their early twenties, but they're already this strong. I feel like I've wasted my three hundred years of life, and I'm still stuck at the Divine Soul Realm," one of them said, sitting on the ground exhausted after activating the formation.
"Heh, don't compare yourself with those freaks. In this world, talent is everything. If you don't have talent, no amount of hard work can put you on the same level as them," his friend laughed carelessly. "You should be thankful that His Majesty the Great Emperor gave us this opportunity by setting up a system that bridges the gap between us and the other giant forces. Otherwise, both of us would still be stuck at the Divine Origin Realm for another three hundred years."
"Indeed, long live the Great Emperor! He's only ruled this world for less than a year, but he's already changed it so much, and for the better," the first person said, then chuckled. "Did you know? I heard that the reason Fairy Ruo and Fairy Mo fought in the first place was to attract the Great Emperor's attention. They were apparently competing over who was more worthy to become his concubine."
"Tsk, tsk, fairies we can only dream of even glancing at from afar are only fit to become his concubines. Lately, so many women like them have been appearing everywhere," the other guy said with envy, holding his iProfound. "But then again, you saw it too. The Great Emperor is devastatingly handsome. If I were a woman, I'd probably fall in love with him at first sight."
"That's ga..." his friend stared at him in disgust. He was just about to speak when suddenly the entire world before him shuddered, and his vision went blank for a few seconds.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
"What... what is going on?" the man stammered, trying to stand, but the ground was literally trembling beneath him as if it were alive. When he lifted his head to the sky, he saw it had turned white, with crimson red lightning flashing and rumbling. It seemed as if the heavens themselves were wailing.
The earth trembled, living beings panicked, the Heavenly Way shivered, the elements spiraled into chaos, and the natural order seemed on the verge of collapsing.
It was like a scene from the end of the world.
The two men's pupils shrank to pin size, and they both muttered at the same time, "What in the Great Emperor is going on?!!"
