Celestial Emperor’s Capital, Great Emperor Huang Zengtian.

Crackle...

Accompanied by a shattering rift in time and space.

Li Boyang, together with Xiluo and the Cyan Bird, successfully entered the true Celestial Emperor’s Capital.

Here, it must be noted that although the Celestial Emperor’s Capital is named a "capital," it actually has nothing to do with a city.

In fact, the entire Celestial Emperor’s Capital is a circulation formed by nine Secret Realms, which is why it’s also called the "Nine Heavens."

This Great Emperor Huang Zengtian is the first of the Nine Heavens of the Celestial Emperor’s Capital—the Human-God Border.

Thousands of years ago, at the peak of Celestial Emperor Hao’s reign, He established the rules that all divine beings must follow.

And these "Nine Heavens" of the Celestial Emperor’s Capital are the embodiment of those rules.

The First Heaven—Great Emperor Huang Zengtian is the Heavenly Realm closest to the mortal world.

It is connected to Kunlun on the earth, symbolizing Emperor Hao’s majesty and was where all living beings climbed the Ascension Stairs, praying for blessings.

The Second Heaven—Great Bright Jade Heaven symbolizes light and purity.

It is the manifestation of Emperor Hao’s power, influencing and even governing the trend of sunrise and moonset.

The Third Heaven—Clear Bright He-Heaven signifies clarity and orderly governance of all things.

Those gods serving Emperor Hao reside here, overseeing the operation of natural laws and all things in the cosmos.

The Fourth Heaven—Profound Womb Nurturing Heaven is a place of birth and evolution of life.

In various myths, it is the site where Emperor Hao cultivated the Immortal Grass, and also the birthplace of the Celestial Emperor’s children.

The Fifth Heaven—Primordial Bright Culture Heaven emphasizes civilization and wisdom.

Only those Celestial Gods deeply trusted by Emperor Hao have the privilege to live here, helping to establish the rules of heaven and earth with Emperor Hao.

The Sixth Heaven—Seven Luminaries Mo-Yi Heaven refers to the seven celestial bodies: the sun, moon, and the five planets.

This heaven is the center of celestial motion, governing astronomical laws and affecting the movement of stars in the sky.

The Seventh Heaven—Void Surpassing Balance Heaven is a heavenly realm that transcends material form.

Even a powerful Celestial God can only descend into this world in a state of Divine Soul departure, and it is the place where Celestial Emperor Hao would summon the gods.

The Eighth Heaven—Tai Chi Obscuring Heaven contains primordial energy yet to be opened.

In different versions of mythology, it bears different meanings, but without exception, they describe its essence as the origin of the world and the endpoint of all things.

The Ninth Heaven—Red Bright Harmonious Heaven is the highest heaven, symbolizing ultimate light and harmony.

This is where Emperor Hao resides and is the most mysterious and unfathomable of the Nine Heavens.

Even now, with the collapse of the Nine Heavens and the transformation of the Celestial Emperor’s Capital into the Kunlun Ruins, this legendary supreme heaven has not been revealed to the world.

...........................

"In past myths, this was the first of the Nine Heavens of the Celestial Emperor’s Capital."

"Mortal powerhouses could ascend Kunlun Mountain’s ’Ascension Stairs’ to this realm to pray for the Celestial Emperor’s blessings."

Gazing at the ruins that had already become desolate remnants, the Cyan Bird, who had prepared thoroughly, murmured.

"It’s said that the Celestial Emperor greatly admired those of sufficient willpower and conviction."

"So, for what they sought, He would basically grant their wishes unconditionally."

"Some powerhouses matching the gods in strength even had the chance to become incarnations of the Celestial Emperor, acting as His representatives in the mortal world."

At this point, the Cyan Bird suddenly stopped.

"Eh? Why did you stop talking?"

Turning her head to glance at the Cyan Bird on her shoulder, Xiluo asked curiously.

She was very interested in the myths from tens of thousands of years ago.

Especially when hearing about the various deeds of the Celestial Emperor reigning over the world.

Xiluo would unknowingly compare His actions with those of Li Boyang.

The conclusion drawn was that the Celestial Emperor was no match for Li Boyang.

At least in spreading benevolence and imparting knowledge to all beings, the Celestial Emperor was far inferior to Li Boyang.

The Celestial Emperor was undoubtedly a ruler, and all His actions were to solidify His authority and rule.

Just like the Nine Heavens of the Celestial Emperor’s Capital.

Xiluo could hardly imagine how much divine power He must have used to construct such a mysterious and unfathomable Secret Realm.

In contrast, Li Boyang positioned himself more as a guide.

—Guiding beings from ignorance to wisdom, guiding the gods from barbarism to civilization.

Li Boyang never engaged in extravagant projects for personal gain, exploiting people.

Instead, in governing the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Li Boyang always took the lead, personally involved in everything.

No exaggeration to say that the miraculous rise of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range today.

In both material and spiritual realms, they are ahead of the world, and Li Boyang’s exemplary role of hands-on leadership is indispensable.

"From the descriptions of Grandmother, I thought the Celestial Emperor’s Capital was magnificent."

"Even after its collapse, it must still be a grand spectacle."

"But now, this Celestial Emperor’s Capital seems just so-so."

In Xiluo’s somewhat surprised gaze, the Cyan Bird spoke with disappointment and regret.

"Look at these ruins, they are merely trees and stones piled and carved to appear more grandiose."

"Look at those roads, they were merely flattened and arranged by brute force."

"Not to mention comparing it with today’s Hundred Lands Mountain Range, even compared to Changyang Mountain City, this place falls short."

It must be admitted that ever since learning she was the Celestial Emperor’s orphan, the Cyan Bird held a somewhat glorified image of the father god she had never met.

Unfortunately, everything she witnessed now shattered this glorified image.

Even things that Xiluo could understand, how could the Cyan Bird, who personally witnessed the development of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range to this day, not understand?

"One cannot say that; the Celestial Emperor’s Capital still has its merits."

At that moment, Li Boyang, who had been seriously observing the ruins, spoke.

"Look over there, that should be the remnants formed after the Fifth Heaven fell."

Following Li Boyang’s pointing direction.

Xiluo and the Cyan Bird saw the fragmented remains of a city.

But unlike typical cities, this one was constructed entirely of some kind of white jade.

Even after thousands of years, the remains of the white jade still gleamed brightly, giving off an exceptionally mysterious feel.

"That was once the abode of the gods, constructed with the essence of heaven and earth."

"Don’t be fooled by their appearance as jade, thinking they’re just ordinary white jade."

In the Cyan Bird’s puzzled gaze, Li Boyang said with a smile.

"Although it’s not known how Emperor Hao accomplished it..."

"Those pieces of white jade are crystallizations of solar essence and lunar energy, manifestations of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi."

"If I remember correctly, in various myths and legends, this city was depicted as soaring in the sky."
