228: Chapter 228 The Astonishment of the Two Human Emperors

"We are eternally grateful for the Heavenly Emperor's grace of rebirth!" A chorus like a mountain tsunami resounded, filled with heartfelt gratitude.

They knew better than anyone that without Heavenly Emperor Jiang Hao, let alone resurrecting the Sage Emperor, even the Solar Divine Cult itself would have likely been ground into ashes under the suppression of others long ago.

It was the Heavenly Emperor who rose up and swept away all enemies, recovered the Sage Emperor's remains and Imperial Artifacts, and protected the Human Race, allowing their Legacy to continue.

Furthermore, it was the Heavenly Emperor who pushed for the establishment of the Human Emperor Temple system, pointing out the direction for resurrection, and now, with supreme power, turned legend into reality.

The same scene was occurring almost simultaneously at the Taiyin Divine Sect.

The ancestral land of the Taiyin Divine Sect.

Under the shroud of the cool Taiyin Dao light, the Disciples of the Taiyin Divine Sect, who were always known for being calm and reserved, had also completely lost their usual composure at this moment.

Everyone from the Taiyin Divine Sect clenched their fists, weeping with excitement.

The Sect Leader of the Taiyin Divine Sect looked at the figure surrounded by Taiyin Dao light in the starry sky and slowly knelt down, his voice choked with emotion yet clear:

"The Sect Leader of the Taiyin Divine Sect, leading all Disciples of the sect, welcomes the Human Emperor's return and bows in gratitude for the Heavenly Emperor's great grace!"

Behind him, a vast crowd knelt down.

Many of the older generation wept uncontrollably.

"It was worth it... everything was worth it..."

An old woman who had participated in the establishment of the very first temples and had sealed herself just to see the Human Emperor's return shed two lines of clear tears from her clouded eyes.

Gazing at the starry sky with a smile on her lips, her aura gradually weakened until she finally returned to peace.

She passed away with a smile, for she had seen the ultimate light.

...

When the two Human Emperors truly stood before the Thirty-Three Heavens palaces and gazed at the vast, boundless Heavenly Court before them,

And beheld the Heavenly Court's architectural complex permeating with immortal dao rhyme, even they, with all their vast experience, could not help but show shock in their eyes.

This was absolutely a magnificent creation.

The entire Heavenly Court seemed to have grown directly out of the Dao Origin, faintly resonating with the pulse of this Universe.

The palaces and pavilions were all cast from supreme immortal Materials and divine gold, yet they lacked even a hint of artificiality, possessing only the naturally formed flow of dao rhyme.

"It is like a myth!" the Solar Sage Emperor lamented. This was the most magnificent and majestic celestial palace he had ever seen!

Sacred and grand!

The Taiyin Human Emperor also nodded. "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are remarkable!"

The Taiyin Human Emperor sighed with emotion for a moment.

Then, he suddenly felt nine vast auras coming from beneath his feet that suppressed the heavens and earth. These nine auras were respectively stationed at key nodes throughout the heavens.

"This feeling..."

"It is the nine cauldrons," Jiang Hao's voice sounded peacefully, resolving their confusion.

"I forged the nine cauldrons to suppress various parts of the heavens, organize the earth veins, and stabilize the world, establishing a foundation for ten thousand generations."

A strange light flickered in the Taiyin Human Emperor's cool eyes: "Using the nine cauldrons to suppress the world and harmonize heaven and earth—this method is indeed very imaginative.

No wonder I feel that the Dao Laws of this world are much smoother than when I first woke up. So that's how it is!"

The nine cauldrons! Where did Fellow Daoist Jiang get so much immortal gold?

An ordinary Dao Prover is lucky to have one or two pieces of such Materials; nine is simply unthinkable!

Oh, right, one can rob the restricted zones. Fellow Daoist Jiang must have 'borrowed' them from the restricted zones!

But how many times would one have to borrow to get this much!

The few of them conversed for a while longer. When they learned of some of the things Jiang Hao had done, the two Human Emperors were even more shocked.

Is this junior not too outstanding?

Organizing the Dao of heaven and earth, establishing the Heavenly Court to set order, pummeling the restricted zones and making them all submit—if these things hadn't actually happened, they wouldn't have dared to believe them.

Are these things a single Dao Prover can achieve?

If someone did even one of these things, their name would be remembered for eternity, yet Jiang Hao had done them all!

Organizing the myriad daos of heaven and earth, forcibly healing the 'ailments' of the Great Dao caused by the Primordial God War!

The difficulty and danger involved were clearer to these two than to anyone else!

That was equivalent to using one's own strength to oppose the inertia and backlash of the entire natural evolution of heaven and earth for endless ages!

The slightest error would result in the destruction of one's Dao and death, and might even trigger a collapse of Laws on a universal scale!

Just how much strength and sense of responsibility would it take to choose to do this!

The Taiyin Human Emperor looked around at the vast scene where everything was operating in an orderly fashion and all spirits were performing their duties.

"The Heavenly Court is the central hub of order you established after organizing the myriad daos?"

"Yes," Jiang Hao nodded, his gaze distant.

"The myriad daos are now smooth, yet human hearts are selfish. Throughout the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, the bullying of the powerful, the killing born of grudges, and the struggle for resources never cease.

Since I have the ability, I thought about whether I could establish a basic order and draw a bottom line.

To give the weak a chance to breathe and to bring order to chaos, I established the Heavenly Court, set the heavenly laws, and built the Law Enforcement Hall to monitor the heavens.

I dare not claim absolute fairness, but I seek relative order, so that the fire of civilization will not be easily extinguished in meaningless chaos."

Establishing order and monitoring the heavens!

The Solar Sage Emperor and the Taiyin Human Emperor looked at each other, both seeing the shock and admiration in the other's eyes.

Back then, they had fought for the Human Race and struggled for its survival space, which had already exhausted their heart's blood.

But what Jiang Hao was doing was establishing a set of operating rules for the entire heavens!

This spirit and this vision had completely transcended the scope of a single race or world; it was truly the magnanimity of opening up peace for ten thousand generations!

The three of them walked all the way to the square in front of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. From here, they could overlook part of the Heavenly Court's grand scenery and also feel the faint, strange fluctuations from Ancient Kunlun.

The Taiyin Human Emperor keenly sensed something and looked toward a remote corner of the Universe:

"There seems to be a stable passage there, connecting to a strange world with more complete Laws and a heavier Origin?"

Jiang Hao followed her gaze and nodded. "That is the ascension passage leading to the Lesser Immortal Realm."

"Lesser Immortal Realm?" the Solar Sage Emperor asked in confusion.

"Beyond this Universe, there are other Great Worlds," Jiang Hao explained briefly.

"One of them is called the Lesser Immortal Realm. Its environment is special, the Lifespan of living beings is longer, and the Laws are closer to the Immortal Dao. I joined forces with Fellow Daoists Lingbao and Yuanshi.

We opened this relatively stable passage to provide an additional path for the Cultivators of this realm, and also to explore in advance and accumulate strength to deal with possible future changes."

Opening a passage between two worlds! Exploring the path beyond the domain!

The two Ancient Emperors fell completely silent.

Organizing the myriad daos, initiating a golden age, establishing the Heavenly Court, laying down order, opening the immortal path, exploring the way forward...

Each of these deeds—was any one of them not a monumental achievement that would allow any Emperor or Sovereign's name to live for eternity?

And this junior before them had actually accomplished all of them in a mere hundred thousand plus years!

And he did it with such ease and such a grand vision!

The Solar Sage Emperor let out a long breath and looked at Jiang Hao with an incredibly complex gaze, which finally turned into a heartfelt praise:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Hao, your actions can no longer be measured by titles like Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor. By organizing the world, establishing order, and opening the path forward, you are creating a brand new era for this entire heaven and earth!"

The Taiyin Human Emperor also looked deeply at Jiang Hao, her cool voice carrying unprecedented solemnity:

"The two of us back then merely fought for a place for the Human Race to survive and felt it was enough. Seeing your handiwork today, I finally know what it means to carry on the past and open the way for the future. The Human Race is fortunate for ten thousand generations to have you, and it is truly a blessing for this world to have you."

The praise of the two was without any falsehood, purely born of the heartfelt shock and admiration after witnessing the great feats Jiang Hao had accomplished.
