Ming Haiyue was deeply concerned about her father, Ming Zhitian, and had come to find him, only to witness the scene before her. Understanding dawned upon her.
Tears streamed down her face, "I'm sorry, Father Emperor…" She then covered her mouth and fled.
Fei Jiang, upon seeing Ming Haiyue, was greatly alarmed and immediately pursued her.
Yingni and others came forward to accept their punishment: "Your subordinate deserves to die!!"
Ming Zhitian waved his hand, "It is not your fault."
He then vanished in an instant.
Ming Haiyue, upon learning the truth that she had caused the deaths of fourteen stepmothers, immediately took her own life by the Minghai River…
Ming Zhitian's heart ached: "Enough, nothing matters anymore…"
He had rehearsed this countless times, only for his daughter's interference to lead to failure in the end. Ming Zhitian found it deeply ironic.
He resolutely stood at the very peak of the Celestial Cloud Firmament, the highest point of the thirty-third heaven, a place of absolute tranquility, undisturbed by anyone.
He mused, "My life as Ming Zhitian has been legendary for half a century, and the remaining half, I shall leave for posterity to remember."
Standing above the clouds, he suddenly lost divine power momentarily, stumbled, and fell.
Ming Zhitian knelt on one knee, then slowly rose. His divine soul had been overwhelmed by sorrow, causing his divine consciousness to waver, his mind to falter, and his divine power to pause briefly.
"What… what is happening to me? Why can I not feel the slightest pain or sadness? Am I like a cold-blooded animal?"
When human emotions reach their extreme, the brain's conscious will allows the body to become immune to that sensation.
It's like if someone tickles your armpit for three minutes; you'll laugh uncontrollably from the ticklishness, but after three minutes, your body automatically becomes immune, and no matter how much they tickle, you won't feel it.
It's also why, when you sleep too deeply, your brain will briefly confirm if you are truly dead, causing your limbs to twitch halfway through your sleep.
This is the brain's autonomous immune system, a natural protective phenomenon.
Ming Zhitian slumped to the side and, without realizing it, fell into a divine dream…
An immortal and a demon were dueling in a constructed edifice. This was the Immortal Divine Realm, built with the immortal’s lifelong effort, filled with deadly traps and infinite opportunities!
There was also a child…
Ming Zhitian stumbled in and destroyed the edifice. The demon said, "This was the culmination of your life's work."
The immortal remained calm and composed, "It matters not. All things are formless at their core, and this is merely a reset."
He woke up from the dream!
Ming Zhitian's eyes snapped open: "What a strange divine dream! What could it possibly mean?"
After the dream, he arrived at a conclusion: Rebirth!!
Words related to rebirth flashed through his mind. Thinking of ancient ruins, Ming Zhitian instantly appeared there!
Ancient Ruins on the Two Hundredth Floor of the Sacred Domain—
His supremely powerful divine consciousness scanned everything related to rebirth. He vaguely remembered something calling to him, but at that time, he was entirely focused on Keifuluo, indifferent to everything else.
"Found it! It's here!"
He condensed his divine power to open the hidden magical door!
Entering the Ancient Boundless Pavilion—
This place was filled with countless ancient books and cultivation techniques. Any one of them, if taken out, would be considered top-tier throughout the Immortal Divine Realms. Cultivating them to the extreme would grant the power of a super-tycoon!
Ming Zhitian, however, paid them no mind. Instead, he was drawn to a stone slab in the center, carved with strange, ancient runes.
Ming Zhitian scanned it with his divine consciousness…
"!!!"
"It can actually block my Primordial Divine Consciousness?!"
Ming Zhitian cultivated the "Primordial Divine Wing Art," so his divine consciousness was naturally Primordial Divine Consciousness.
"What about this then?" Ming Zhitian directly activated his Angelic Holy Soul Eye. He saw that within the ancient stone slab lay an ancient disk! It was incredibly classical, with a pointer and peculiar, retro-looking time indicators!
"Break!"
Ming Zhitian pointed his finger! Powerful magical energy pierced the ancient stone slab!
Breaking through the stone slab, he obtained the Time-Space Reincarnation Disk…
