Chapter 2347: Incoming Storm

Control over the Original Realm?

Princess Donghuang looked at the cultivators from various worlds. Although the Original Realm was still ruled over by the Divine Prefecture in name, in reality, the current huge changes in the realm were known by all the cultivators from various worlds. Did they truly consider the Original Realm to be the territory of the Divine Prefecture?

If they truly did consider it to be so, beside causing a commotion in the Original Realm, they would need the permission of the Divine Prefecture to even step foot into it.

Clearly, the various forces no longer had their reservations. Since the Original Realm was still considered to be under the jurisdiction of the Divine Prefecture in name, the Divine Prefecture would not let it go no matter what happened to it.

This appeared to be meaningless, but it was crucial. At the end of the day, the Divine Prefecture had the moral high ground, and the forces of the various worlds were at a disadvantage on this front.

Princess Donghuang declared, “The jurisdiction of the Original Realm has already been determined for centuries. More than 20 years ago, a huge war erupted in the Original Realm, and the Divine Prefecture still emerged victorious. Now, the Divine Prefecture doesn’t want to dwell on this matter. The Original Realm belonged to the Divine Prefecture in the past and will remain so for the future.” Her voice was arrogant and authoritative.

The reality that the Original Realm belonged to the Divine Prefecture was unshakable and would remain unchanged for eternity.

“I heard that the Original Realm already has a ruler. The cultivators of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path all pledge their allegiance to this new ruler. The influence of the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace is most likely not as strong as his,” a cultivator of the Dark World provoked with a sinister smile.

The various cultivators naturally knew who he was referring to. Everyone knew that the current direct ruler of the Original Realm was Ye Futian, the College Chief of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. He was also the Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace.

Ye Futian was considered the ruler of the Original Realm by its members.

He also fought for the Original Realm. Countless cultivators of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path acknowledged him and the Heavenly Mandate Academy. In contrast, the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace had limited influence over the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. Its influence was certainly not as strong as Ye Futian’s.

“Ye Futian, the College Chief of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, has unified the various forces of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path and fights for their sake. He protects the cultivators of the Original Realm and rules over the Original Realm on behalf of the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace. The Imperial Palace believes he has done superbly. Are there any problems with that?” replied Princess Donghuang as she stared indifferently at the cultivator of the Dark World.

She claimed that Ye Futian was ruling over the Original Realm on behalf of the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace and that Ye Futian and the Heavenly Mandate Academy were under their jurisdiction. There was no issue with her statement. However, what did Ye Futian think about this?

Many people looked at Ye Futian. Yet, Ye Futian’s expression remained the same as before, showing no changes. They could not get a read on him.

Was he ruling over the Original Realm on behalf of the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace?

Ye Futian never thought of it that way before. The Imperial Palace was its own ent.i.ty. However, the Original Realm was the place where he grew up and cultivated. He had emotional attachments to the Heavenly Mandate Academy and the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. He unified the lands of the Original Realm in the hopes that they would prosper and survive through this chaotic era instead of disintegrating and having countless lives lost to the chaos.

While he was doing so, the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace had not interfered at all.

In terms of a sense of belonging, he naturally had none for the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace. Moreover, he was still not clear about the matters back then. Donghuang the Great might even be his enemy.

However, he did not leap out to deny Princess Donghuang’s words. The Heavenly Mandate Academy ruled over the Original Realm by relying on Master’s deterrence to survive in this chaotic world. Otherwise, many forces would have long attacked them. They still needed the backing of the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace. Forsaking the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace and proclaiming himself a ruler now? That would be suicide.

As for the cultivators around Ye Futian, they all had their own thoughts. Many of them had high expectations for Ye Futian. They even believed that Ye Futian would walk the path to the top in the future and make the Original Realm an independent world.

However, this path would certainly be full of thorns. How many would be buried along the way?

For Ye Futian, his most important goal currently was further developing himself.

“There is no problem,” the cultivator of the Dark World said as he looked at Princess Donghuang. “Since the Divine Prefecture does not wish to relinquish control of the Original Realm and wishes to meddle in the affairs of the Lost Clan, then, we have no choice but to return and inform the Great Emperor and ask him to open the Door of Darkness. When that happens, I hope the Divine Prefecture will not regret this.”

As he said this, he looked at the cultivators of the Empty Mountain as well as the Devil World and said, “There is a prophecy that claims that the changes to the worlds will begin with the Original Realm. Does the Evil Emperor and the Devil Emperor have no thoughts about this? There seem to be too few members from the Devil World here today.”

Among the cultivators of the various worlds, the members of the Devil World were the fewest in numbers. Only a group of them had come to the Original Realm. Aside from the Divine Prefecture, the Dark World was the second largest group. Cultivators from a large number of their forces kept arriving.

Now, the cultivator of the Dark World was threatening to open the Door of Darkness, most likely with the intention to send a large number of cultivators of the Dark World to the Original Realm. If that were to happen, the Original Realm would change completely. No one knew what the outcome would be.

“We will naturally return to inform the Evil Emperor about this,” a cultivator from the Empty Divine Realm said. “Since the Divine Prefecture is still so domineering, then, let’s wait and see.”

Attacking the Lost Clan today made the cultivators of the Empty Divine Realm feel that they were lacking in number.

Recently, many relics appeared in the Original Realm. They were all relics of the ancient era. Even the Shenyi Continent that was floating among the chaos of the void had appeared. One could imagine how huge a change was occurring in the Original Realm. The prophecy might possibly come true.

Under such circ.u.mstances, the various Great Emperors would certainly send large armies over by opening the doors connected to the Original Realm.

The cultivators of the Devil World also revealed pondering looks. From the looks of it, they also needed to return to inform the Devil Emperor. If the prophecy came true, the Original Realm might continue to have huge changes. For now, no one knew what changes would occur in the future. Yet, if there were too few members of the Devil World present here, they would be at a disadvantage.

When Princess Donghuang heard their words, her expression turned cold and indifferent. Three to four centuries ago, the Original Realm had already faced such a storm. However, the turmoil back then was not even on the scale of what she was seeing now. If it was as the cultivators of the various major forces had said, the next storm in the Original Realm would be unprecedented.

The various worlds might choose the Original Realm to be the battlefield for their conflict.

Ye Futian’s facial expression was the ugliest of them all. Now, he ruled over the Original Realm and protected the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. If what the other parties said were true, the Original Realm would undoubtedly be where the forces of the other worlds faced off against each other. The Original Realm would become a battlefield. For the members here, this was practically a catastrophe. No one knew what would happen then.

Crucially, all of this was happening too fast. The appearance of the Lost Clan had accelerated this change. His cultivation was still not strong enough. Without having reached the peak of the Renhuang Plane, it was difficult for him to handle these changes.

When Ye Futian thought of this, he was somewhat concerned.

The cultivators of various forces of the Divine Prefecture all had their own agendas. They were not united with the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace. If the Original Realm completely fell into chaos, they would instead seize the opportunity to enrich themselves!
