Chapter 1142 Where Did the Heavenly Emperor Go?

This voice startled Chang’e for a moment.

Chang’e raised her head, subconsciously looking towards the door. She saw a majestic man in golden jade armor slowly walking in from outside.

Wearing a yellow robe, this man was no longer the Liu Yi who had been deceived by her before. He was now the ruler of the entire immortal realm, the master of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor.

Liu Yi walked over and stood in front of Chang’e.

“Your Majesty, please have a seat.”

The two gazed at each other for a while, until Chang’e finally took the initiative to speak. She extended her hand, inviting Liu Yi to sit opposite her.

Liu Yi sighed and knelt down to sit across from Chang’e.

In the Heavenly Court, many customs followed ancient traditions and rules. For example, this sitting posture was from the Han Dynasty.

In ancient China, people used to kneel while sitting, and it wasn’t until later generations that the practice evolved into ordinary sitting. This kneeling posture was lost in China but was inherited by Japan.

Chang’e and Liu Yi sat facing each other, neither speaking. Chang’e picked up the tea set and began to brew tea.

“Last time I told you, the tea in the immortal realm is much better than that in the mortal world.”

Chang’e finally spoke again. As she brewed the tea, she said, “This fine tea requires several rinses of water to bring out its true flavor.”

“There’s no need to beat around the bush.”

Liu Yi also spoke, piercing through Chang’e’s thoughts, “You want to say that the disaster you gave me was a test for me, right? I’m sorry, but I’m not tea.”

Chang’e’s expression darkened slightly, “Your Majesty, ‘I’ know you may not understand my good intentions. But, ‘I’ truly had your best interests at heart.”

Liu Yi noticed that Chang’e now referred to herself as his concubine.

He furrowed his brow and said, “Don’t make it sound so nice. You did it for yourself.”

As he spoke, Liu Yi raised a finger, “Your so-called test for me was nothing more than to preserve your own beauty. Regardless of whether you believed I could survive such a terrible disaster, your ultimate goal was selfish. It’s not that you ruined me, but you almost killed my companions as well. That’s the reason I can never forgive you. Chang’e, isn’t there anything in this world more important than your appearance?”

“You don’t understand women at all!”

Chang’e was somewhat angered by Liu Yi’s words, and her temper flared, but she quickly suppressed her anger.

“A woman’s sense of security lies in her beauty.”

Chang’e gently caressed her beautiful face and said, “Apart from that, nothing else can be trusted, including you men.”

“That’s why I think you’re pitiable.”

Liu Yi sighed, “If you can’t trust others, then others can’t trust you either.”

“I am willing to trust you now!”

Chang’e hurriedly said, “I am willing to accompany Your Majesty forever!”

“It’s already over, Chang’e.”

Liu Yi shook his head, “You’ve already used me. It’s impossible to say such things now.”

He met Chang’e’s somewhat blank gaze, “If you had said these words to me thirty years ago, I would have happily accepted them. If it were thirty years later, and I were still suffering from amnesia, and you found me and told me this, I might reluctantly agree. But now...”

“It’s not too late! It’s not too late!”

Chang’e said, “I am a woman, and I have been waiting here for you to marry me!”

“I will not marry you.”

Liu Yi’s gaze was firm as he slowly said, “In this world, everything comes at a price. You cannot simply have what you desire. As you gain something, you must pay the corresponding price. Chang’e, you got your wish and retained your beauty. I won’t revoke your immortal status and let you age to death. However, from now on, the Guanghan Palace will be your eternal home.”

As he spoke, Liu Yi slowly stood up, leaving a dumbfounded Chang’e behind.

“Starting today, no one is allowed to approach the Guanghan Palace! All the maidservants must leave this place and be reassigned in the Heavenly Court! Whoever disobeys this command will be killed without mercy! Chang’e, the Fairy of the Moon, is appointed as the Envoy of the Guanghan Palace, to remain here forever, never leaving a single step!”

“You... how could you be so cruel?”

Upon hearing this, Chang’e shuddered, looking at Liu Yi in disbelief.

“Do you think I’m too soft-hearted?”

Liu Yi looked at Chang’e and said, “Do you think that I could forgive any mistake you made? I can forgive you, which is why your beauty is preserved. However, the Heavenly Emperor will not forgive you.”

Having said that, Liu Yi strode away from Guanghan Palace without looking back.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”

Chang’e’s shouts echoed through the Guanghan Palace.

Liu Yi walked out of the Guanghan Palace, seeing that all the celestial maidens had already left. He then extended his hand, pulling out twelve soul-piercing nails, and let them fall around the Moon Palace.

The twelve soul-piercing nails were nailed in twelve different directions, and then a massive purple barrier was released, enveloping the entire Moon Palace.

“How long do you intend to trap me?”

Chang’e stood inside the barrier, gazing at Liu Yi with a faint sadness.

“You can come out at any time.”

Liu Yi said, “But this barrier will absorb your essence. The moment you step out, you will lose your ageless appearance and become instantly aged.”

“You...”

Chang’e was astonished, not expecting Liu Yi to create such a barrier!

If she left... she would become old and withered...

Chang’e stared blankly at the massive barrier, her entire being dumbstruck.

“Chang’e, take care of yourself.”

After saying this, Liu Yi stepped on a lucky cloud and flew away from the Moon Palace.

Let this woman be accompanied by immortality forever. This woman, whose only true love was herself.

Liu Yi no longer thought about Chang’e, quickly returning to the main hall of the Heavenly Palace.

The immortals of the Heavenly Court all possessed magical powers, and the restoration of the main hall was rapid. By the time Liu Yi returned, the hall had been restored to its original state. Seeing Liu Yi’s return, Taibai Jinxing immediately asked.

“Your Majesty, the main hall is rebuilt. What should we name it?”

Before, Liu Yi called this hall the Golden Throne Hall, and later heard that it was actually called Lingxiao Hall.

However, he didn’t like these names that others had used.

Standing in the hall and looking at the civil and military immortals, he felt an overwhelming sense of pride.

“From now on, this place shall be called the Godslayer Hall.”

“Godslayer Hall?”

“That’s quite domineering.”

The immortals below whispered among themselves.

“Right, Sima Rou, step forward.”

Liu Yi waved his hand.

Sima Rou, who was standing among the military officials, immediately stepped forward and knelt before Liu Yi.

Liu Yi did not make Sima Rou his queen, but her status in the Heavenly Court was not low either.

“I hereby appoint you as the Divine Fire General, forming the Divine Fire Army, leading the Fire Peacock Cavalry to guard the Heavenly Court.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Sima Rou accepted the order, and Liu Yi continued.

“Chen Cai, heed my command!”

“Your humble servant is here!”

Liu Yi saw that Chen Cai had returned to his normal human appearance and breathed a sigh of relief. This fellow was finally somewhat reliable.

“I hereby appoint you as the Divine Dragon General, forming the Divine Dragon Army! Lead the Divine Dragon Cavalry to guard the Heavenly Court!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Chen Cai also accepted the order but raised his head, “However... What is a Divine Dragon General?”

“I intend to establish a Dragon Cavalry.”

Liu Yi said, “Their mounts will be divine dragons, used to protect our Heavenly Court.”

“Oh!”

Chen Cai clapped his hands, “That’s a great idea! But where do I find dragons?”

Chen Cai asked.

“Hahaha, don’t worry about that.”

Liu Yi laughed, “In addition to my identity as the Heavenly Emperor, I am also the Dragon King of the Four Seas! I will immediately mobilize the dragon legions from the seas to the Heavenly Court!”

“Boss... Your Majesty, you’re amazing!”

Chen Cai gave Liu Yi a thumbs-up, his admiration for him now knew no bounds.

There was truly nothing Liu Yi couldn’t do!

“From now on, the Divine Fire Army and the Divine Dragon Army will be the main forces defending our Heavenly Court.”

Liu Yi said, “The Netherworld Servant Army will be responsible for the ground defense, and I will keep these two armies here.”

The combined force of ten thousand lantern-carrying ghosts and five thousand weapon-wielding minotaurs was off the charts.

None of the other immortals objected, as this could strengthen the fighting power of the Heavenly Court, which made them happy.

“Ye Hanshuang, I appoint you as the Asura General, responsible for commanding the Netherworld Servant Army.”

Liu Yi entrusted the force of fifteen thousand to Ye Hanshuang, who gladly accepted the command. Allowing her to hold office, especially as a military officer, naturally fulfilled her wishes.

“How many of the previous Heavenly Court troops are left?” Liu Yi asked.

“Twenty thousand heavenly soldiers and generals remain,” Taibai Jinxing answered. “The rest either died in battle or left the Heavenly Court.”

“Twenty thousand.”

Liu Yi pondered, “That’s not too few, but they need to be retrained. The previous heavenly soldiers were too weak and couldn’t hold their ground. I will train these troops in a devilish way, and from now on, these troops will be directly managed by Taibai Jinxing. Soon, instructors will come to properly ‘educate’ them.”

Liu Yi chuckled sinisterly, and many felt a chill run down their spines as they glimpsed his dark side.

Their Heavenly Emperor... was not an easy person to get along with...

“Now that I’ve made the necessary arrangements, it’s time for me to leave this place.”

Liu Yi stood up from the Dragon Throne and stretched his limbs.

“Your Majesty? Are you going to the mortal world?”

Taibai Jinxing and the others were all shocked.

“Of course, sitting on this Dragon Throne all day would bore me to death,” Liu Yi said. “The mortal world is full of vibrant colors, and I must return there.”

“No, no, Your Majesty!”

Taibai Jinxing hurriedly tried to stop him, “If you leave, what will we do with such a massive responsibility as the Heavenly Court?”

“Leave it to you.”

Liu Yi smiled at Taibai Jinxing, “Do not doubt those you employ, and do not employ those you doubt. From now on, you will handle the trivial matters of the Heavenly Court on my behalf. If there’s a significant issue, contact me, and I will return instantly.”

Liu Yi smiled, then placed his hand on his forehead and vanished from the Heavenly Court in the blink of an eye.

The immortals of the Heavenly Court were left staring at one another, wide-eyed.
