Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

On the river, all eyes, whether from the Jidu Aquatic Clan or the cultivators of the grotto heavens sacred land, converged on the Giant Clam Water God.

During the time when Shen Yuan took control of the Dragon Sovereign’s authority and returned divine power to Heaven and Earth, the Giant Clam Water God had been continually suffering from the backlash of the natural world and the oppression of Heavenly Tribulation, severely injured.

However, as a Spirit Refining Demon King, as long as he still breathed, he could easily destroy the entire Qingping County City with his power alone.

This was the power of a Spirit Refining Demon King, an immense force unacceptable to the laws of this world.

Yet this powerful Water God was asked by Shen Yuan, in an understated tone, to end his own life.

Whether it was the aquatic beings or the human cultivators present on the scene, none of them sensed any discord. It seemed as if Shen Yuan’s request was completely justified.

In front of the white-robed Immortal who had single-handedly suppressed the River Ji Dragon Palace, a Spirit Refining Demon King like him did not even qualify to make Shen Yuan take action.

The Giant Clam Water God, kneeling on the river, felt not much anger, unwillingness, or resentment after hearing Shen Yuan’s words. Instead, he felt a trace of relief, as if a heavyweight was lifted off him.

Originally, the Giant Clam Water God was merely a tool sent by Ao Lang to intimidate the Human Clan when his life was nearing its end. Being involved in significant matters concerning the Dragon Sovereign, Dragon Palace, and the Heavenly Court Emperor had already exceeded his limits.

The Giant Clam Water God did not fear death. His appearance in the world came with the certainty of death, but he feared that his actions would affect his clan.

Ao Lang had already lost his position as the Dragon Sovereign and couldn’t protect himself. The assurances he gave to the Giant Clam Water God must have been invalidated. The Giant Clam Water God no longer expected someone from the younger generation to inherit his divine position.

He just wanted to sever the ties of cause and effect here and not involve his clan because of it.

The Divine Monarch before him had the ability to reach the heavens. Killing him was just a matter of raising his hand. Yet, the Divine Monarch actively chose to let him kill himself instead. In a way, it felt as if he purposefully severed the ties of cause and effect for him.

So naturally, the Giant Clam Water God felt relieved.

The Giant Clam Water God humbly paid tribute to Shen Yuan and respectfully said,

“Thank you, Divine Monarch!”

As soon as the words fell, his sun god’s dharma image, already fractured in several places, shattered in an instant.

A vast amount of the Sun God’s Power, bearing a hot brilliance, plunged into the River Ji like a great sun descending, blessing all beings, and his spirit soul dissipated back into Heaven and Earth.

On the surface of the river, his ancient body transformed into a broken river clam covered in thunderburn scars. The Demon King’s body and the flames of consciousness within him slowly fell apart, ultimately sinking to the bottom of the river.

Having done all this, Shen Yuan ignored the eyes full of admiration and fear from both the aquatic race and the humans. He turned around and re-entered the Primal Chaos Tower.

Gong Buyu and Xue Mingzhi, who had been waiting by the window, greeted Shen Yuan as soon as he returned.

A barrier of ice-blue rose, blocking all prying eyes from the outside world.

…

The scene of Shen Yuan ordering the Spirit Refining Demon King to commit suicide was shocking. But compared to the sight of him suppressing the River Ji Dragon Palace with the Heavenly Court Decree, it was nothing.

Apart from a dead Spirit Refining Demon King, the cultivators of many a grotto heavens sacred land were more interested in the room Shen Yuan was staying in.

Nearly all the cultivators could see the direction in which Shen Yuan left. Even with the invisible barrier hiding it, they quickly identified the room in the upper floor.

Within the Primal Chaos Tower, the thoughts of many cultivators were quite diverse.

Everyone could see the extent of this Divine Monarch’s power, who was able to move around the world at the beginning of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge.

His disciple, Gong Buyu, overshadowed her peers and was at the peak of her generation. Therefore, one could predict that Gong Buyu might reach the apogee in the future.

The new generation of prodigies showed extraordinary talent, and the older generation was even more mighty with incredible divine skills. With these aspects, the Falling Clouds Sect could be seen to revitalize.

In this situation, naturally, some people wanted to curry favour with this present-day Divine Monarch riding on the resurgence of the Falling Clouds Sect.

In the hall below the Primal Chaos Tower, cultivators from many different sects were discussing fervently.

Some cultivators, intending to express their gratitude for saving their lives, prepared to visit, while other sects with a long history and complex relationships tried to build connections through the name of their sect’s heritage. Others even planned to offer precious treasures to this Divine Monarch in hopes of being admitted into the Falling Clouds Sect.

Among them, there were numerous large sects backed by blessed lands.

Even among the cultivators from various grotto heavens, many showed signs of restlessness.

Only Mo Li sat on the edge of the hall, calmly watching the various sects heatedly disputing and making speeches.

He knew more about Shen Yuan’s background than all the other sect’s cultivators present and had the least to worry about.

Because Mount Laojun, or rather Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens, had already made connections with the Supreme Taoist.

One of the premier talents under the Supreme Taoist was the beloved daughter of the eldest senior among Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens ancestors, Ancestor Gong.

Having this connection, Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens had already taken the lead.

Thinking about this, even Mo Li couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride.

Actually, when Ancestor Gong decided to let Gong Buyu become a disciple of the Supreme Taoist, Mo Li was a little puzzled.

In Mo Li’s view, while the Supreme Taoist was indeed powerful, his sect had mysteriously disappeared for nearly ten thousand years. Hastily arranging for Gong Buyu to become the Supreme Taoist’s disciple might not necessarily be a good thing.

Moreover, Gong Buyu was incredibly talented, not inferior to those of the Ten Great Cave Heaven Holy Lands. If those of Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens carefully cultivated her, she would undoubtedly reach the pinnacle in this era of Spirit Energy Tidal Surge.
