Chapter 1650 -443: Splendor Reemerges, Dominating the World_2

However, since it was Gu Chen who spoke those words, naturally there was no issue at all.

Let alone, Gu Qingyan and the other three had just witnessed the formidable methods of this ruler of the Imperial Court.

Even now, they were still somewhat in shock.

At this moment, Gu Chen opened his mouth and said: “The cultivators I spared were all individuals with no records of heinous deeds. Let them live, for they can all be absorbed into the Eternal Imperial Court to prepare for the battle that is not far away.”

“Good!”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Qingyan, Bi Yu, Wu Tian, and Emperor Xia were once again filled with excitement.

They knew that with the return of Gu Chen, the Eternal Imperial Court, which once commanded absolute dominance across the myriad realms, would surely reappear in the mortal world!

“But, brother, the situation in the Upper Realm…” Gu Qingyan hesitated and stopped mid-sentence.

Bi Yu, Wu Tian, and Emperor Xia understood what Gu Qingyan meant. After a lapse of ten thousand years, and under Pei Yi’s deliberate manipulation, many beings in the Upper Realm had forgotten what Gu Chen had accomplished. He was even regarded as a villain by many.

“It matters not. I already know everything,” Gu Chen shook his head; to him, this was not even a problem.

In fact, as he was now, with a mere thought he could alter the minds and memories of every being in this universe, rewriting everything.

But to Gu Chen, this was entirely unnecessary, and he had no intention of doing so.

After all, Gu Chen had never cared much about the judgments of others.

“Let us return to the Upper Realm first.”

As Gu Chen spoke, Gu Qingyan and the other three suddenly felt a flash of light and shadow before their eyes. When their vision cleared, they had already traveled from the outer lands back to the realm of the Upper Realm.

“East Profound Region?!” They were visibly shaken and glanced at Gu Chen.

Compared to this display of ability, what shocked them more was how Gu Chen had just annihilated Pei Yi.

Gu Chen then extended a palm, within which lay a ball of radiant light continuously shimmering. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was entirely traced by patterns of the primordial essence of myriad realms—a truly breathtaking sight.

“Is this the essence of the myriad realms?”

Without needing further explanation from Gu Chen, the four—being supreme cultivators—could instantly perceive the nature of the radiant light at first glance.

“Among you, who wishes to integrate with it?” At that moment, Gu Chen cast his gaze upon Gu Qingyan, Bi Yu, Wu Tian, and Emperor Xia.

“Integrate with the essence of the myriad realms?!” This proclamation sent tremors through the hearts of the four.

This was the most coveted opportunity in countless generations of supreme cultivators throughout history. Now, it lay before them, seeming so casually within reach.

“Everything that’s happened today feels like a dream,” Bi Yu murmured, his expression dazed.

Yet Wu Tian did not linger upon the essence of the myriad realms, nor did he show any attachment to it. Instead, he fixed an impassioned gaze upon Gu Chen, kneeled down directly, clasped his fists, and said, “I can forego the essence of the myriad realms—my only wish is for the ruler of the Imperial Court to use his supreme methods to resurrect the fallen members of the Golden Raven Clan!”

Bi Yu, hearing this, also kneeled and said, “And the countless people of Taoxu Road, all slain by Pei Yi.”

Gu Chen looked at the two, shook his head, and said, “To reverse life and death, to break the cycle of reincarnation, or to alter the natural order—those feats, as I am now, are beyond my capability.”

These words caused Wu Tian’s fiery gaze to dim, and even Bi Yu couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.

But in the next moment, Gu Chen continued, “However, what is impossible now may not remain so in the future. Rise for now.”

Hearing this, Wu Tian’s expression flickered, and hope once again surged forth in his heart.

Having witnessed Gu Chen’s boundless abilities, he had absolute faith in him.

“Thank you, ruler of the Imperial Court!” Wu Tian solemnly bowed to Gu Chen, his forehead touching the ground, before standing up again.

As for the essence of the myriad realms, the four of them debated endlessly, but none could decide who should absorb it.

“Enough.”

At last, Gu Chen shook his head and relieved them of their dilemma. “Since you’re reluctant to claim it, this may not necessarily be a bad thing. Because of this, the Upper Realm may give rise to even more powerful beings.”

Without further elaboration, Gu Chen then said, “You four—study it for a thousand years. Afterward, return it to me.”

“Understood.” Gu Qingyan and the others nodded repeatedly, their eyes alight with anticipation.

Soon after, Gu Chen lifted his gaze, and amidst thunderous roars, Origin Island reappeared.

Furthermore, the former headquarters of the Eternal Imperial Court was instantly restored, supplanting the heavenly palace upon the island.

On this day, the Eternal Imperial Court, which had vanished for ten thousand long years, reemerged!

News of Gu Chen’s return spread like a hurricane, at an incomparably rapid pace, across the entire Upper Realm!

Included in this revelation was the downfall of Pei Yi, the former ruler of the Heavenly Palace. For a time, the Upper Realm was in an uproar!

Initially, due to Pei Yi’s prior manipulations to vilify Gu Chen, many younger cultivators cursed his name.

But before long, elder figures began to appear—each with hair grayed by age—and upon hearing the news, they were overcome with emotion, trembling with fervor, exclaiming, “Ten thousand years—ten whole millennia—the ruler of the Imperial Court, the supreme existence, has finally returned!”

“Ancestor, what are you saying?” A young cultivator stared in confusion at the scene.

“You insolent child—kneel and pay homage to the ruler of the Imperial Court immediately!”

These elders scolded their descendants, chastising their disrespect, and recounted the myriad unparalleled deeds of the ruler of the Imperial Court.

Old soldiers never die; they leave behind legends untold. Across the Upper Realm, elders emerged one after the other, imparting the true history of bygone days to the younger generation.

As events unfolded, celestial cultivators who had returned to the Upper Realm, along with the two remaining supreme beings, appeared personally to restore the historical truth.

The Upper Realm descended into chaos; no one had imagined they could be deceived for so many years!

Among these elders, a great many had once served the Eternal Imperial Court. Now, with their last reserves of strength, they assembled and rushed to the East Profound Region to seek an audience with Gu Chen.

Soon enough, the entire East Profound Region was blanketed by a sea of kneeling figures—all former soldiers of the Eternal Imperial Court!

No matter how others might employ vile methods to smear or falsify history, there would always be some whose hearts remained unshaken!

Gu Chen soon appeared, and when the veteran soldiers of the Eternal Imperial Court saw his true person—his eternally youthful face—they could not hold back their tears.

They had endured humiliation, surviving through countless hardships for this day!

In this moment, their dreams had finally been realized, and with intense emotion, they felt they could now die with no regrets!

This scene was so overwhelming, it shook the entire Upper Realm!

“We pay homage to the ruler of the Imperial Court!”

Their voices soared into the heavens, resounding across the Eight Desolations and the Six Directions, even scattering the clouds in the sky.

What followed was an incomprehensible sight—the ruler of the Imperial Court wielded supreme power to purge impurities and rebuild the roots of all these elders, restoring them to their prime in an instant. Black hair grew anew, and their long-lost youth returned!

This was a divine miracle!

The Upper Realm erupted in fervor, the sheer magnitude of the upheaval unmatched. Everywhere, the words “ruler of the Imperial Court” rang out incessantly.

After ten thousand years, Gu Chen had returned, bringing back glory, and once again reigning over the mortal world!
