Chapter 1641 -438: Imperial Court Collapse (Three Updates of Ten Thousand Words, Please Subscribe!)_3

After all, this was the person they respected the most in their hearts.

“Whoever dares to touch my elder brother, I will kill them!” At that moment, the Empress Gu Qingyan suddenly turned her head. Her ice-blue eyes were incomparably cold, and in her hand, a celestial sword emitting wisps of white mist appeared.

In an instant, an extreme chill, as if capable of freezing all the heavens and myriad realms, spread across the area.

The Empress Gu Qingyan, holding the celestial weapon, her long black hair cascading down, pointed the sword tip toward Pei Yi and Qi Ling, shouting, “Leave!”

Though she seemed to be gravely injured, she was, after all, the Empress of the Eternal Imperial Court, and the younger sister of Gu Chen. No one knew what the ruler of the Imperial Court had left for his sister.

Out of this apprehension, combined with their numerical disadvantage, Pei Yi, with a cold expression, said nothing further and withdrew with Qi Ling.

“He truly harbored ill intentions from the very beginning!” sneered Wu Tian.

Bi Yu said nothing, instead looking toward Gu Qingyan.

At this moment, the Empress who once commanded awe across the world wore a blank expression as she stared at Gu Chen’s body, resembling a lifeless shell.

She finally understood the feelings her elder brother experienced eighteen thousand years ago, after the Epoch War.

“Your Majesty, please accept my condolences,” Bi Yu sighed.

Both Wu Tian, the Summer Emperor, and Xu Jing, the current Dao Master of Taoxu Road, also offered a word of comfort.

After a long silence, Gu Qingyan finally returned to her senses. She bit her red lips gently, unwilling to believe that her all-powerful elder brother had truly fallen.

“My elder brother would not fall so suddenly without leaving anything behind. There must be a fallback!” Understanding Gu Chen’s personality, Gu Qingyan knew there was more to this than met the eye.

“Until my brother recovers, I will guard the Eternal Imperial Court and these heavens and myriad realms on his behalf!”

In the next moment, the expression on Gu Qingyan’s face turned resolutely determined once more.

Seeing this, Bi Yu and the others felt the tense strings in their hearts slightly relax. Although none of them believed Gu Chen could return to life, after all, the deceased were already gone, and it was the living who had to survive and carry on.

At that instance, Gu Qingyan acted, forging a world to house Gu Chen’s body. She then led the group back to the Eternal Imperial Court.

And unsurprisingly, Pei Yi and Qi Ling had already departed.

Even at that moment, the Origin Island emitted rumbling sounds. With Gu Chen’s fall, it, too, was leaving!

Thus, Gu Qingyan quickly issued orders, and, together with Bi Yu and Wu Tian, they led the entirety of the Eternal Imperial Court and all the cultivators, departing from this place and returning to the Upper Realm.

In the eighteenth thousand year of the Imperium Calendar, Gu Chen, the Eternal Imperial Court’s unmatched ruler who once dominated the heavens and suppressed all ages, suddenly fell after secluded cultivation for countless ages, for reasons still unknown.

The entire heavens and myriad realms were plunged into grief. Mourning draped the land, and every living being felt an immense weight pressing down on their hearts.

This day was also recorded in history and became known as the Dark Day of the Heavens and Myriad Realms.

The vast expanse of the myriad realms remained steeped in immense sorrow.

And as expected, following the ruler Gu Chen’s fall, the Eternal Imperial Court, which Gu Qingyan barely managed to hold together, completely fragmented a thousand years later.

The majority of the powerful departed, and the myriad realms immediately descended into chaos.

Among them, factions led by Pei Yi and Qi Ling rose to the forefront, launching unrestrained plundering across the myriad realms.

Their goal was none other than to seek the source of the myriad realms and become the next ruler of the Imperial Court!

Thus, with Gu Chen’s fall, the heavens and myriad realms entered an era of ancient unrest. Chaos engulfed the lands, heroes rose in contentious strife, and, driven by their own ambitions and interests, began the fiercest of struggles!
