The Former Celestial Emperor was momentarily stunned, only then noticing that the giant dragon had pierced through his body. However, he seemed largely unaffected, instead turning his gaze toward me with an expression that was quite peculiar.
"It seems your cultivation isn't impressive," he remarked, and suddenly, a dark light shot from him directly at my heart.
In an instant, a tremendous pain spread throughout my entire body. I quickly employed celestial techniques to suppress this agony, but to my surprise, the more I tried to contain it, the more it seemed to rebound against me. Before long, all my celestial powers were completely shackled.
"Ah!" Without the protection of my celestial techniques, the pain nearly consumed me, causing me to collapse to the ground.
Seeing me in such a state, the Former Celestial Emperor's smugness became even more pronounced. He crouched down beside me, gripping my chin with his large hand and coldly stating, "Look at you, so weak. How could you possibly be fit to be the Heavenly Emperor? Do you even realize how many troubles you've faced since becoming the Heavenly Emperor? Including these vengeful Evil Spirits and the manipulation by the Dragon Matriarch—these events are proof enough that you are unworthy of the title. Therefore, I have returned to reclaim my position. If you wish to live, sign this Heavenly Book."
With that, he produced the Heavenly Book, which radiated celestial energy.
The Former Celestial Emperor laid the Heavenly Book before me and continued, "As long as you repeat and alter the rules written within it, I will grant you and your friends a chance at survival. You might even live peacefully among mortals."
I stared at the Heavenly Book before me, feeling a surge of anger toward the Celestial Being within me. Yet it felt as if a force was blocking my powers deep inside.
The Former Celestial Emperor seemed to sense something and said to me, "Don't waste your effort; you cannot break the celestial seal I placed upon you."
"You placed a seal on me?" I looked at him in shock.
A glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as his tone grew colder. "Yes. You should know what the purpose of a celestial seal is; so stop your futile resistance."
"You are truly despicable," I gritted my teeth.
"Despicable? If it means reclaiming the title of Heavenly Emperor, what does it matter? Enough talk; hurry up," he threatened again.
I clenched my teeth and bit into my fingertip. Just as I was about to rewrite something in the Heavenly Book, suddenly a powerful force descended from above and struck the Former Celestial Emperor. In an instant, he was bound by this force.
Black mist seeped from his body as his face transformed into one of sheer terror.
I looked around in confusion, still trying to understand the source of this power when the Former Celestial Emperor had already vanished. The power within me was gradually dissipating, as if my celestial abilities were returning.
At that moment, I heard an ancient voice say, "Heavenly Emperor, take your place."
As soon as the words fell, I felt a lightness in my body, as if I were about to fly. Suddenly, clouds of White Smoke appeared around me, enveloping me completely.
Before long, the smoke cleared, and I found myself back in the heavens, seated on the main throne. Many celestial beings had gathered, and Ruoxi appeared by my side, while the Former Celestial Emperor was shackled and trapped on a central pillar.
"Ruoxi, what is happening?" I asked her in confusion.
Ruoxi whispered to me, "You'll understand soon enough; now is not the time for explanations."
I nodded and turned my gaze back to the Former Celestial Emperor. His expression seemed even darker. "I didn't expect you to have the protection of the Origin of the Celestial Source."
As soon as he spoke those words, I froze. What was this Origin of the Celestial Source?
"Are you feeling proud? Let me tell you, don't think that just because you have the protection of the Origin of the Celestial Source, you can rest easy. I will deal with you right now." With that, I watched as the Former Celestial Emperor's body began to swell.
Then, he broke free from his shackles.
The murderous intent on his face grew heavier as he approached us. Strangely enough, I felt no tension at all. Just as he was about to reach us, a beam of light appeared before us like a protective shield, encasing Ruoxi and me within it.
"Ah!" The light shot out in a reflective arc, knocking the Former Celestial Emperor back down to the ground once more.
"Cause and effect repay each other; when will it ever end?" As this voice echoed through the air, Ruoxi and I saw an elderly man with flowing white hair.
"It’s the Origin of the Celestial Source," Ruoxi exclaimed in surprise.
"This is the Origin of the Celestial Source," I said, somewhat surprised.
Ruoxi nodded and whispered in my ear, "Wang Jun, don't worry. The Former Celestial Emperor poses no threat to us because he has already met his fate."
"Fate?" I was even more puzzled.
Ruoxi nodded, and just as she was about to speak, the Origin of the Celestial Source turned around, a smile on his face as he looked at me. I froze for a moment as he said, "Heavenly Emperor, come here. I have something to say to you."
I had no choice but to stand up and walk toward the Origin of the Celestial Source. At that moment, the Former Celestial Emperor suddenly stood up, attempting to attack me, but his cultivation was swiftly drawn away by the Origin of the Celestial Source.
"Why did you do this?" The Former Celestial Emperor's eyes widened in shock as he felt his power being stripped away. In no time, he transformed into an old man, his face lined with wrinkles.
"Heh heh, why? Because you have violated the Heavenly Rules and dared to disrespect the Heavenly Emperor. Do you know he is the Son of Heaven?" the Origin of the Celestial Source said sternly.
"The Son of Heaven? Heh heh, what a joke! He is merely the son of a Celestial Being. What right does he have to be called the Son of Heaven?" The Former Celestial Emperor stood up, filled with disdain.
"You are truly ignorant. If it weren't for Ruoshui Immortal's concession, do you think your father could ascend to the Imperial Position? Previously, Ruoshui Immortal was chosen as the Heavenly Emperor by the Three Realms; he is the true Heavenly Emperor. Your father only gained his position because of Ruoshui Immortal's retreat. Do you understand?" The Origin of the Celestial Source scolded the Former Celestial Emperor.
Upon hearing this, the Former Celestial Emperor was momentarily stunned, disbelief washing over him. The Origin of the Celestial Source noticed his subtle expression and smirked slightly. "You can have a dragon by your side."
The Former Celestial Emperor seemed taken aback by this statement, as if realizing something. He then asked us, "What does this mean?"
The Origin of the Celestial Source looked at him with a smile. "You should know that only a true Heavenly Emperor can have a dragon by their side. Ruoshui Immortal has one, but your father does not. You should be aware of that."
The Former Celestial Emperor's face turned pale as if struck by a revelation. Seeing him silent, the Origin of the Celestial Source continued, "Do you know why you survived during the reshuffling of heavenly relations? It was because this Heavenly Emperor showed mercy." As he spoke, he glanced at me and made a gesture.
The Former Celestial Emperor looked at me with an expression that revealed complex emotions in his eyes.
"Now, you must have broken the heavenly law, and there is no chance for forgiveness," said the Origin of the Celestial Source. After that, I and Ruoxi saw thorny black vines appear on Qian Tiandi's body.
"No, no! I don't want to suffer this punishment!" The expression of the Former Celestial Emperor turned to one of terror. He tried to leave, but before he could escape, the black vines suddenly shot out, blocking his path. Then, these black vines erupted with numerous bolts of lightning that struck directly at the Former Celestial Emperor.
"Ah!" The Former Celestial Emperor's face twisted into a grotesque expression.
In less than a moment, the Heavenly Emperor slowly vanished. I was stunned; had the Heavenly Emperor been killed by these black vines? That seemed too easy.
At that moment, the Origin of the Celestial Source looked at me, and I immediately snapped back to reality.
"Heavenly Emperor, what can we learn from this incident?" the Origin of the Celestial Source asked with a smile.
I was taken aback, unsure of what the Origin of the Celestial Source meant. I asked him, "Origin of the Celestial Source, what do you mean?"
The Origin of the Celestial Source burst into laughter, stroked his beard thoughtfully, and gave me a meaningful look before falling silent.
"What does this mean?" I was completely bewildered; was the Origin of the Celestial Source teasing me?
Ruoxi looked at my dazed expression and smiled. "Wang Jun, actually, the Origin of the Celestial Source is telling you not to be so merciful in the future to avoid situations like that of the Former Celestial Emperor."
