Chapter 544: Chapter 544: The Great Xuan Dynasty, Returning to the Old Land with No One in Sight_1

On the twenty-eighth of the third month of the new year, the Great Xuan Dynasty was officially founded. The formalities of coronation took place on Mount Tai, inheriting the will of Heng Grand Emperor from the previous dynasty. The new era was proclaimed in the name of the Holy Emperor to sweep clean the universe, signifying the legitimate succession.

Beyond the coronation, other ceremonies such as the Emperor’s birthday and the imperial sacrifices to Heaven and Earth were due. The grandeur of the occasion was on par with that of the time during Heng Grand Emperor’s reign.

In this way, the faith in the Holy Emperor became a hot topic for a brief period. However, under the overall control of the Great Xuan Dynasty, this fervor cooled down quickly. Gradually it subsided, and Dai Temple did not see a resurgence in popularity. Instead, it became even quieter than before.

The Dai Temple was locked up and deserted, devoid of Temple Masters and Servants. Only occasional visits by hired hands ensured its cleanliness and the maintenance of its structures.

For now, these visits occurred monthly. But as time passed, such upkeep was bound to slacken. The frequency of these visits would undoubtedly decrease.

Heaven is high and the emperor is far away; it was impossible for Emperor Pei Jiang to focus his attention constantly on Dai Temple. As time went by, he too would gradually forget about it.

"I’m back," said Li Qinglian. After exterminating all the Demon Gods, his strength had reached a level where he could advance no further. His God-eating Spirit Body had evolved into the Qinglian Sacred Body. The reputation of his title, the God-slaying True Monarch, was becoming increasingly powerful, giving rise to a desire within him to return to reality.

However, he did not return, because it was not yet the right time. He had to at least complete this simulation.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated Springhead City Temple, the place of his birth and growth, it had been a long time since he had returned.

With his mission already accomplished and his name notable, it was time to return to his hometown in glory.

Upon opening the temple door, overgrown weeds populated the courtyard. The Temple Master, Wang Xueshu, seemed to have been absent from this place for a long time.

As a result, the entire Dai Temple had fallen into such disrepair.

Left? But where could he go? Li Qinglian was mildly puzzled. Logically, even if Wang Xueshu had left Dai Temple, he should have returned by now. Could he be dead?

Li Qinglian had once investigated this Timeless Founder of Rune Method, whose dates of birth and death were unknown. Coupled with the fact that his conduct and deeds were cloaked in mystery, Li Qinglian remained largely unaware of many things.

Upon seeing this, he sighed, "Since he’s not here, I guess I’ll have to wait until next time to see him."

Li Qinglian really didn’t know if there would be a next time. After this, he planned to travel the world with the three women. When he would return, he had no idea.

Pei Jiang had tried to retain him, offering him a position in the Court along with the promise of high office and abundant wealth. But he had decidedly refused.

He had collected the history as described by the Heroic Spirits of the Xuan Dynasty from the internet. The Xuan Ancestor, who was still young and vigorous at that time, naturally excelled in both civil and military affairs.

The only flaw was that he lived too long. After reaching middle age, the Xuan Ancestor became obsessed with immortality. Not only did he act foolishly, but he also killed nearly all the founding ministers of that time. If Li Qinglian had really accepted, he inevitably would have been implicated in the future purges.

As for changing Pei Jiang’s ways from now on, he wasn’t sure if he could succeed.

If Pei Jiang had been obsessed with anything else, Li Qinglian might have been somewhat confident about his chances of success. But obsession with immortality made the difficulty of changing him almost unimaginable.

Moreover, he was not a man greedy for power. If he were to genuinely enter politics, it could potentially affect his Unparalleled Quality Heroic Spirit—the God-slaying True Monarch, Li Qinglian.

He was extremely satisfied with his current Heroic Spirit and had no thought of changing it.

After closing the door of Dai Temple, he turned around and left without hesitation. For the foreseeable future, his persona as the God-slaying True Monarch would likely not appear in public view and would quietly fade into obscurity.

"Let’s go," said Li Qinglian to the three women as he climbed back into the carriage.

"Did you say your goodbyes?" asked Mo Qinglan.

Yes, Li Qinglian had come back to say his farewells, not to reside. He intended to leave after this meeting.

"No, he hasn’t been in the temple for a long time. Maybe he went back to the Mount Tai Ancestral Court. If that’s the case, we might see him when we travel to Mount Tai," Li Qinglian said with a laugh, voicing his guess.

In truth, he was not entirely sure, nor did he care too much about Wang Xueshu’s whereabouts. Although the latter had raised him, Wang Xueshu was still an outsider compared to the three women.

More importantly, in later ages, no one could summon the Heroic Spirit of Wang Xueshu. He had no idea what the situation was.

The three women did not doubt him but nodded happily. What could be better than going out to explore?

The carriage, driven by Li Qinglian, gradually moved away, the Dai Temple receding into the distance behind them, without a trace of lingering sentiment.

...

After he accomplished his mission and established his fame, all the data has returned to calm and begun to stabilize. What’s going on? Wang Linchi wondered, somewhat confused as he looked at the data collected from Li Qinglian.

It can’t be that it’s going to end...

Wang Linchi couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark. The scene just now was a clear case of the protagonist retiring after accomplishing his goals, leaving behind an unbeatable legend in the world.

It does seem to be the case. If it weren’t for the fact that the last generation of Nine Extremes is still missing, I would have thought the novel was over.

But even if the novel isn’t over, it seems like Li Qinglian’s part is finished.

At this moment, Wang Linchi had realized that Li Qinglian’s value had completely disappeared. Once fixed, it meant there were no variables to speak of. And no variables meant all the data had been obtained.

We can only wait for the next Nine Extremes.

Wang Linchi, in fact, had already noticed some peculiarities about Li Qinglian.

For instance, it was confirmed that Li Qinglian was a projection or a Clone, or something of that nature, and not the main body, and possessed corresponding special abilities.

Next time, I should be able to capture the real Nine Extremes. Wang Linchi’s plan was simple: to apprehend the person directly.

If I’m not mistaken, the overall abilities of the ninth Nine Extremes should decrease again.

If I let Nine Extremes practice the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique... A thought suddenly sprang into Wang Linchi’s mind.

Indeed, it was a bold idea, but if successful, he could directly pinpoint the coordinates of the real body of Nine Extremes, making him easily capturable.

If it were the Nine Extremes from Ancient Times, the Emperor of Universe, Wang Linchi would seriously consider whether it was worth it. But a 10th-level Nine Extremes from the End of the Dharma Era was something he wasn’t afraid of.

Even if the other party’s real body might be very powerful, if dragged into the End of the Dharma Era, the first thing he would face would not be Wang Linchi, but the Calamity of the Last Law. That would be interesting.

Wang Linchi boasted a minimum strength of level 1000. No matter how strong the opponent was, how much stronger could he be?

If he was so strong that Wang Linchi was actually afraid, then he would... just run away.

He had accumulated a lot of world coordinates in his Reincarnation effect entries, so he had no worries about an escape route.

If the opponent dared to follow him to a brand new world, they couldn’t blame Wang Linchi for being ruthless.

In their original world, the opponent is powerful. But upon switching to another world, their abilities and systems would likely be rendered useless. Wang Linchi, with his game character, data rules, and the fact that he himself is a world, could adapt quickly. Why would the opponent be able to adapt quickly in an unknown domain?

If the world they went to was one with extremely high energy levels and strong systemic development, Wang Linchi could hide using a legitimate identity and blend in. But Nine Extremes lacked this ability and would inevitably be discovered almost immediately, after which his only fate would be a group beating.

Considering all these factors, Wang Linchi felt fearless. Otherwise, without multiple preparations, how would he dare to confront such a mysterious and unknown existence?

The coronation and imperial sacrifice rituals are done. Now, it should be time for the members of the Nine Extremes Sect to take action.

Next, naturally, was to activate the Absolute Heaven-Linking Array, and then for Wang Linchi to proceed with the Devouring of the Great Heng Dynasty’s civilization.

In fact, he didn’t have much expectation for the Great Heng Dynasty. Six hundred years of reign was indeed longer than Dajing, but compared to previous dynasties, the gap was too large.

I just hope that Great Xuan can last a little longer... Wang Linchi had also discovered that with the Calamity of the Last Law eliminating Transcendent power, dynastic cycles also emerged. Most dynasties probably couldn’t escape the 300-year rule. Great Heng lasted long, but this longevity was due to the early nurturing by Wang Linchi’s Dai Temple System.

Once the Dai Temple System collapsed, the entire Great Heng Dynasty declined rapidly. So, essentially, it could last over six hundred years because Wang Linchi nurtured it. After they crawled out of the cradle, they couldn’t adapt to life outside it and promptly collapsed.

So, Wang Linchi was also worried about Great Xuan—that it would fall after 300 years. Then, he would have to support another dynasty... well, it was also possible he wouldn’t support another one. After he obtained the greatest benefit from Nine Extremes, he might just run away and not bother with this world in the End of the Dharma Era anymore.
