Chapter 1123 God Emperor, Heavenly Emperor, Dao Ancestor

Hearing the words of Daoist Tianfeng, Eldrin's expression grew increasingly grave.

Even the Celestial Wind Immortal of yesteryear felt dread before it—that star must be perilous beyond measure.

The opportunities within were mostly extremely precious, which was why Eldrin had no choice but to proceed with caution.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke up, "Since you've told me this, Fellow Daoist, I presume you intend to invite me to journey into the depths of the starry sky."

"So it is."

Elder Tianfeng nodded, his expression warm as he said, "Fellow Daoist, wielding a supreme immortal treasure and having slain the Crimson Flame Qi Divine Roc Emperor on Crimson Flame Qi Island, your combat prowess likely surpasses even that of an ordinary Ninth-Level Ascendant by a margin."

"If you and I join forces, while we may not be able to directly seize the Starry Ruins, the likelihood of retreating unscathed should still be considerable."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly.

He gave a noncommittal nod and inquired calmly, "I implore you, Fellow Daoist, do not hold back. Please enlighten me about the situation regarding the Starry Ruins."

"Hmm."

Elder Tianfeng nodded and began, "That star is of extraordinary origin; it appears to be 1 of the Zhou Tian Stars from the ancient Demon Court of the Celestial Realm."

"Ancient Celestial Court of the Demonic Tribes?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly, a trace of confusion coloring his expression.

Seeing this, Elder Skywind smiled faintly and said, "I forgot that you've only ascended recently and are still unaware of the evolution and changes in this endless chaotic universe. Allow me to explain it to you."

"Now this boundless chaos stretches into infinity, with countless great universes within its expanse."

Yet before the dawn of Chaos, within the boundless primordial expanse, all was shrouded in undivided mist—devoid of life, devoid of worlds.

It was not until the "Primordial Immortal Realm" emerged from the boundless chaos that the concepts of heaven, earth, and the cosmos came into existence.

Elder Tianfeng spoke with measured grace, his expression turning profoundly solemn as he mentioned the Primordial Immortal Domain.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's expression shifted slightly.

He had ascended for many years and had also heard of the origins of the Primordial Immortal Realm.

That Primordial Immortal Realm was the first immortal realm born within the endless chaos, and the foremost among the 3,000 immortal realms.

Vast and boundless, it has existed for countless kalpas, revered by all celestials as the very heart of primordial chaos.

If the primordial immortal realm were likened to the sun of the 9 Heavens Above (Time & Distance), then the 3 1000 realms born later within the chaos would be like the myriad stars in the sky—tiny and insignificant by comparison.

Among the 3 1000 celestial domains, the lifelong dream of countless immortals was to cultivate in the Primordial Celestial Domain.

Meanwhile, most of the Great Luo Immortal Lords across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains had also gathered atop the Primordial Immortal Domain.

The supreme sects of the Immortal Realm, those bolstered by the presence of Great Luo Immortal Lords to anchor their destinies, are predominantly situated within the Primordial Immortal Domain. Likewise, nearly all the Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages reside there as well.

In comparison, the 3,000 Immortal Realms, though considered part of the Celestial Realm, were ultimately insignificant. It was utterly impossible to cultivate to the Great Perfection Golden Immortal stage here.

Since the birth of the Primordial Immortal Realm, the myriad universes within the endless chaos began to gradually evolve.

The first beings between heaven and earth thus began to gradually take form.

Elder Tianfeng spoke in a measured tone, his gaze fixed upon Eldrin (Person Name) as he said, "I believe you must understand, Fellow Daoist, what manner of beings those firstborn creatures truly were."

Innate God!

Eldrin's pupils contracted slightly as he spoke with considerable gravity.

"Exactly!"

Elder Tianfeng nodded, his voice tinged with profound envy, "Those Primordial Deities born at the dawn of creation—each possesses a transcendent grace beyond mortal measure."

They were born with the cultivation of Celestial Immortals, and among these innate deities, those with even more astonishing talent were certain to ascend to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, provided they did not meet an untimely demise.

These Primordial Deities possessed immense power. They established the Ancient Divine Court, reigning over the cosmic dominion for hundreds of millions of years through 3 successive Divine Emperors—an era we now call the Primordial Epoch.

At this point, Daoist Tianfeng spoke with utmost gravity: "In the late Primordial Era, a great calamity lasting tens of millions of years swept through the boundless chaos, inflicting catastrophic losses upon the Primordial Divine Court."

"Even among the 3 Primordial Divine Sovereigns, 2 have fallen into slumber."

At this critical juncture, the Star God lineage—the most powerful among the divine clans—fractured. To seize the sovereignty over the Endless Stars, the Sun God Emperor broke away from the divine clans, proclaiming himself the Sun Heavenly Emperor.

The Solar Divine Emperor, together with the Celestial Stars of the Zhou Heaven, united all living beings to establish the Demonic Tribe. Using this as their foundation, they founded the ancient Celestial Court of the Demonic Tribe, supplanting the position of the Primordial Divine Court.

As he narrated in a measured tone, Eldrin gradually came to understand the origin of that star.

He couldn't help but grow slightly solemn and inquired directly, "Are you suggesting, fellow Daoist, that this star is 1 of the 9 Heavenly Stars lost from the Demon Empire's Celestial Court?"

"Indeed."

Elder Tianfeng nodded slowly, his voice resonating with ancient wisdom. "If this old man's conjecture holds true, that primordial celestial body ought to be 1 among the 3 100 60-5 million stars governed by the Celestial Court of the Demon Race."

Its grade is comparable to a Terrestrial Immortal's blessed realm, and the treasures within would be coveted even by an Earth Immortal Patriarch.

"So that's how it is."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, yet he couldn’t suppress his curiosity and asked, “Fellow Daoist, you seem quite knowledgeable. Could you tell me more about the Demon Tribe’s Heavenly Court?”

"I knew you would ask."

Elder Skybreeze smiled faintly, stroking his beard as he spoke, "The Celestial Court of the Demon Tribes dates back to an era lost in the mists of time. It has endured through countless kalpas—so many events have faded from memory that even this old man cannot claim to know them all."

"All we know is that now our human race has established the Celestial Court, and the Demonic Heavenly Court is no longer the sole ruler of this world."

"Oh?"

Eldrin's gaze flickered slightly as he quietly awaited the words of Daoist Tianfeng.

That day, Elder Feng brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Eldrin before speaking, "After the Sun Heaven Emperor established the Celestial Court, the demon race gathered boundless providence, giving birth to 2 more Heaven Emperors."

At that time, the 3 Heavenly Emperors reigned simultaneously within the Demon Clan's Celestial Court, holding dominion over more than half the authority across all realms and universes. Even the successive revivals of the Divine Clan's 'Primordial God Emperor' and 'Ziwei God Emperor' had already proven futile.

Until 9 kalpas ago, a supreme being of our human race broke through to the realm of Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage, becoming 1 of the rulers of the Celestial Realm.

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod upon hearing this.

The Ancient God-Emperor of the Divine Race and the Celestial Emperor of the Demon Race were both supreme powerhouses at the ‘Primordial Chaos Great Perfection Realm’.

Such beings are few and finite in the cosmos, their spirits merged with the primordial chaos of the Great Dao. Each 1 reigns as a sovereign existence within the immortal realm.

That the Sun Celestial Emperor could break away from the divine race and single-handedly cause the fall of the Primordial Divine Court overnight—even establishing the ancient Celestial Court of Demons that came to dominate the heavens—demonstrates the sheer magnitude of influence such an existence wields.

In contrast, the human race’s Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages, beings who have also attained the realm of Hunyuan Great Perfection (Cultivation Realm), naturally possess the qualifications to become players of the game, capable of altering the landscape of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains and even the entire Multiverse.

Sure enough, Daoist Tianfeng continued, "After our human race gave birth to Dao Ancestors and Immortal Saints, we joined forces with the Primordial Divine Court to overthrow the Celestial Court of the demon race from their throne as rulers of heaven and earth."

"But our human race has only 1 Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage, which cannot compare to the 3 Heavenly Emperors of the demon race, nor match the 2 generations of Divine Sovereigns of the god race. Thus, we remain at a disadvantage within the immortal realm."
