Everyone was silent for a long time.

They had a heard a lot of Zi Yang’s stories from Zi Ming’s mouth over the years, but none of them were as magnificent as this one.

“Wooo… so, he died?”

Zi Ming. Zi Ming…. Why are you such a baby at eight years old?

Zi Yang could only think so, he did not dare to say it out loud.

He could only console him and provide an answer which he thinks is likely.

“He died and did not die.”

Dark Void was the one to ask now, “What does that mean?”

Everyone cast their eyes.

If someone at the seat of senate saw this scene, they would probably faint. Why is the Void Empress and her entourage looking at a boy with an expression of “say quickly”?

Zi Yang couldn’t bear their eyes and said,

“As I said, Pangu succeeded in opening heavens and passed his three catastrophes.

So, when he transformed everything, he had already reached the level of the Great Dao. The only one who had that level is Great Dao itself.

How could he possibly want to die just to leave a world for others and not see it himself?

Moreover, Great Dao cannot die in chaos. They represent the ceiling.

Thus, neither can Great Dao powerhouses.

Remember when I said that he transformed, I did not mention his heart. His heart was intact and it was located in the Pangu palace formed from outer cover of his heart.

In the Pangu palace, twelve drops of blood transformed into twelves witches.

Then they also fought for ownership of the world. Even when they died, the heart never moved.

Pangu’s true spirit was most likely healing in his heart.”

“So, long story short – you don’t know?”

Baize questioned.

Zi Yang was choked.

He really did not know and he somehow did not want to say his guess.

But the inquisitee gazes defeated him again, “I only know that there are many versions of the world that Pangu created. Some were super powerful, some were short of the tunnel, some were perfect.

If there are not too many Pangu(s)…”

Suddenly, he stopped.

He felt hairy for a while now. He hurriedly used his insight talent and got a reply that gave him goosebumps.

[Your prolonged mention of Pangu’s name caused an energy to be attracted towards you. The energy seems to have some commonality with your own, and is amiable towards you.

Preliminary insights indicate no danger. But it would serve well to tell less mythical stories.]

He was sweating crazily now.

Void Empress notice something when he stopped talking and then saw the sweat on his face and hands.

She brought a towel, helped him and then told everyone to not talk about it anymore.

She also had a foreboding to not talk about it anymore.

Without speaking of the name, it would still be alright.

Finally, as he calmed down, Zi Ming still asked, “Brother, but why are heaven, earth and human cata… cata trophy so bad?”

Zi Yang smiled, “When you want to get something, you have to pay a price. Heaven was extremely angry at the man because it was demoted one level because of him. So, he punished him more severely.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Earth was kinder and went easy. It also took care of twelve of his descendants but when they fought and damaged earth everywhere, it also flew into rage and imposed dire punishment. Heaven also took advantage and added to their punishment which killed them all.

Humanity was defeated by him very early, so it behaved sneakily afterwards. Always meek in front of heaven and earth but binds time to grow and make a fortune in silence. When it finds a chance, it delivers a fatal blow.”

The Void Empress’ thoughts flew to the three elves – purple thunder, yellow earth and golden armored.

They behaved like this too.

She summed up, “In all, Heaven is aggressive, Earth pays in kind and Humanity is a mischievous old six.”

Everyone nodded.

Only cute little Zi Ming was still confused, “What is old six?”

Mama Mei couldn’t bear everyone telling this kid more details for him to someday call someone old six, so she picked him up and said, “Ming’er, it’s time to sleep. Let’s go.”

With this call, everyone dispersed.

Everyone but the Void Empress and Joanne.

Void Empress kept her for more details on preparations and on how Zi Yang would replicate the act.

It is not that she is hasty, but there really was limited time left.

Considering the time for college exams and official start of a career – if Zi Yang does not open a beast master space soon – he would lag behind his peers for at least a year.

She had already seen that her role as a master would be very minimally involved in teaching considering that Zi Yang has an all-powerful talent to help him master everything quickly, or aid at the right time.

She had to make for it in something, else, she would not have the nerve to call herself Zi Yang’s master.

It could already be imagined how terrifying it is for a novice to imitate a Great Dao expert – even if the size of the world is microscopic compared to the original opening heavens.

She understood somewhat that it would take help and resources.

What a person cannot do on his own, a tool should help him do.

She guessed that imitating the tools and making them more powerful could help, or learning and blowing up two or more small beast master space relics could ease some tension.

Then Void Empress and Joanne went to study.

This entry and stay lasted a week.

Whenever everyone was anxious, Dark Void would calm them by saying that the empress is fool-proofing the plan.

While Zi Yang and others were waiting calmly, the entire ancient capital was shaking.

In a certain quaint courtyard, small but uniquely peaceful with a perfect blend of flora and fauna – an old man was sat at the head of the table.

Sitting next to him, were distinguished guests – some old, some young – but all full of respect for the old man.

All but one.

A young man with curly black hair and defiant eyebrows. He sat on the chair and ate as if the courtyard belonged to him.

But no one dared to say anything to him.

“Say, old man, why did you invite a young man like me to join a home party with all these geezers?”, The young man said casually.

The old man was amiable and replied kindly, “Fan’er, Huan’er issued her Emperor’s edict to Donghuang country.”

The young man who was still slouching, jolted awake immediately. Then he was filled with rage.

An emperor’s edict is used only when it is an indelible emergency. What can threaten an emperor to have to use the edit to order the entire ancient country?

Everyone, but the old man, felt as if the heavens were pressing on them.

“What happened? Is she safe?”, he questioned.

“She is safe. It is not a request for rescue or combat-related help. She wants to have two weapons made”, the old man anticipated his concerns and had already said words to alleviate them.

The pressure went off, and everyone had a feeling of escaping disaster. But they did not dare to even breathe unevenly.

Among all the three emperors in the country, this one is the most temperamental. No one wants to get on the wrong side of this devil.

The man called Fan’er once again slouched and question in confusion, “Weapons? How precious are these weapons to warrant an edict? Old man, don’t tell me you are taking this chance to loot my treasury. I know you’ve always wanted my nine-desire aperture circle.”

Now, even the old man was infuriated and lost his composure, “What do you mean? That was for trial of disciples. For trial!”

The man called Fan'er winked and had an expression of "I got you covered" on his face.

Realizing his gaffe, the old man coughed slightly and continued, “She needs two weapons created, which would need the contribution of various resources from extraordinary to king level resources….

People from blacksmiths, formation masters, swordsmen, mage enchanters to us two emperors…

and finally, they need to be completed within two months!”

the old man then paused and coughed again as he said in a soothing voice:

“Oh, and the weapon’s quality should be an entry level emperor weapon.”

Everyone had an urge to vomit blood.

Wow, thank you. Things become simple since it is only entry level.

That is still an emperor level weapon.

It may take years to make one, you ask us to make in two months?

It will take all the time everyone had to get it done. Who would do their jobs?

“Are you shutting down the country?”

Everyone searched which brave soul said this.

The old man also covered his mouth. He realized he had spoken his thoughts out loud.

But the old man turned serious instead and seriously said, “If need be, do so. Void Empress was unusually serious on this. She needs this done by hook or crook.”

Everyone was horrified.

They did not expect that the old man would agree to shut the country’s work for two months.

While everyone was in reverie, a young lady delivered paper reports to everyone and explained, “Everyone, Master has copied all the details for you, in the documents. I have also sent a void mail to everyone with their respective sections.”

Everyone skimmed the details and sweat tricked down their head.

They did not have time for any pleasantries, hurriedly bowed to the old man and flew away.

That day, the capital shook.

Soon after order came down one after the other, all professional organizations shook.

As everyone started working, everything halted and the economy shook.

The capital historian recorded this event as:

“Void Empress stomped once, the country shook thrice”
