Chapter 63 The Dao-Merging Flower, the Ruthless Great Emperor Departs!
After hearing the Ruthless Great Emperor's explanation about the Immortal of the Mortal World, Jiang Yu's jealousy had long since vanished.
Her eyes darted around, and she leaned closer to Jiang Feng, lowering her voice to ask, "Brother, are you... confident you can become that Red Dust Immortal?"
Jiang Feng glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
"What else?"
Four words, written lightly, yet carrying an undeniable certainty and confidence.
Even though viewers were separated by screens, they could feel the domineering aura and invincible belief behind those words, and the chat exploded with comments like, "Holy crap! That's so cool!"
"Otherwise what? Listen to this! This is the Heavenly Emperor's confidence!"
"Awesome! I knew the Heavenly Emperor could do it!"
"That's more powerful than any grand statement!"
"A mere mortal immortal? To the Heavenly Emperor, isn't that something anyone can easily do?"
"Sister Yu, you're overthinking it. Have some faith in your brother!"
Jiang Yu was also taken aback by her brother's casual yet domineering answer.
Yes, who is her brother?
He is the Heavenly Emperor who suppressed all the heavens, killed the Immortal Heavenly Emperor, and rebuked the ancestor of Buddhism with a single word!
If he says it can be done, then it definitely can be done!
Jiang Feng ignored his younger sister's little schemes and turned his attention back to the Ruthless Great Emperor.
After the initial warmth and shock of the siblings recognizing each other subsided, reason returned.
An unparalleled empress from the distant future, at least at the level of a quasi-immortal emperor, went against the flow of time to find her brother, and it was definitely not just for the sake of reminiscing.
"You traveled upstream from the future to find this place, surely it wasn't just to...find my brother?"
Jiang Feng's voice returned to its usual calm as he looked intently at the Ruthless Emperor.
"What brought you here? Or rather, what has happened in the future world?"
When the matter was brought up, the aura around the Ruthless Great Emperor, which had softened slightly due to the reunion, once again became cold and solemn.
She paused for a moment, as if sorting through memories and burdens spanning millennia, before slowly speaking, her voice carrying a heavy, chilling tone that seemed capable of crushing the starry sky: "In the future... there will be dark turmoil."
She paused, seemingly searching for the right words to describe the catastrophe, and finally used a word that made Jiang Feng's eyes narrow slightly:
"That was a catastrophe that spanned eras."
The darkness does not come from forbidden zones, but from... a higher realm.
It will eventually engulf the nine heavens and ten earths, sweeping across all realms, causing all living beings to perish, civilizations to be extinguished, and hope to be annihilated. It will be an era... one where even immortal emperors will perish.
Her description was brief, but the despair and terror conveyed between the lines sent chills down the spines of her listeners.
A catastrophe that spanned an entire era!
Enveloping all the heavens and myriad realms!
Even immortals can perish!
This was completely beyond Jiang Yu's, and even Chuan Yingshen's, understanding of the Dark Turmoil!
The viewers in the live stream were also shocked by this description: "A higher realm? The source of darkness?"
"Even immortals can die? What level of disaster is that?"
"My God... Is the future world really this hopeless?"
"The Ruthless Great Emperor returned for this?"
"The missing Emperor Jiang she mentioned... could he be the future Heavenly Emperor?"
Jiang Yu's face turned pale upon hearing this, and she subconsciously gripped Jiang Feng's sleeve tightly.
She had previously thought that the Dark Turmoil was just trouble caused by those old fogies hiding in restricted areas, who her brother could easily kill.
Now it seems that it's not the same thing at all!
"Those supreme beings who severed themselves... in later generations, they are nothing more than dust that can be wiped away at will," said the Ruthless Great Emperor.
Jiang Feng listened quietly, understanding the situation.
Just as he had guessed.
The dark turmoil mentioned by the Ruthless Great Emperor probably refers to the ultimate catastrophe in the original work, which spanned Perfect World, Shrouding the Heavens, and Sacred Ruins, and was initiated by a strange and ominous source, affecting all the heavens and myriad worlds and burying countless eras!
The future she inhabits is probably already in or approaching that terrifying era.
She went against the current, not only to search for possible clues about her brother, but also to find a glimmer of hope to fight against that catastrophe at an earlier source!
"So, what do you want me to do?"
Jiang Feng asked directly.
In the face of a disaster of this magnitude, any pretense or prevarication is meaningless.
The Ruthless Great Emperor looked at him, his eyes beneath the bronze mask resolute and bright: "Become stronger. Strong enough to possess the power to change everything and end the eternal chaos before darkness truly descends in full force! In later generations, I searched for countless years and waited for countless years, but Emperor Jiang Tian had long since become a legend lost in ancient history."
I thought... the hope was slim.
But now, I've found you, brother.
You are stronger than I imagined, and you got on the right path much earlier. You are the variable, the first ray of light that might appear in the darkness!
Her words carried a longing and resolve that had been suppressed for millennia.
She came to end that eternal darkness and turmoil!
Even if there's only a sliver of hope, she'll seize it!
The live stream chat exploded: "Ending eternal darkness and turmoil? This is incredible!"
"The Ruthless Great Emperor is awesome! His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is even more awesome!"
"So the Heavenly Emperor disappeared in later generations? Did he go to fight against darkness?"
"So, the Heavenly Emperor is the key to saving the world?"
"The pressure has suddenly shifted to the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Sister Yu, your brother has such a heavy burden on his shoulders!"
Jiang Yu was also stunned.
End the eternal darkness and turmoil?
This sounds like the mission of the ultimate hero in a mythical epic!
And now, this mission seems to have fallen on her brother?
She felt both immense pride and an overwhelming sense of worry.
Such a heavy burden, my brother...
Jiang Feng remained silent for a moment, digesting the information and weight of the Ruthless Great Emperor's words.
He didn't make any passionate promises, nor did he show any fear.
He simply nodded calmly, as if accepting something perfectly natural.
"I see."
He said, then looked at the Ruthless Great Emperor, "You should go back. Staying here for too long could have unpredictable consequences for you and for this era."
Reversing the flow of time and interfering with ancient history will have a tremendous karmic backlash.
Even someone as powerful as the Ruthless Great Emperor couldn't stay long.
The Ruthless Great Emperor stiffened slightly; clearly, she was reluctant to part with her brother, whom she had just reunited with.
Beneath the bronze mask, the heart, which had just been stirred by the reunion, was once again filled with the reluctance of parting.
But she knew that Jiang Feng was right.
She could clearly feel the subtle repulsion that the stable temporal and spatial structure of this era exerted on her, as well as the unsettling causal fog that began to entwine around her invisibly.
She looked at Jiang Feng deeply, as if trying to etch his image into the deepest part of her soul.
Then, she raised her hand, and a soft yet mysterious light bloomed in her palm, slowly condensing into a crystal-clear, strange flower that seemed to be woven from the runes of the Great Dao.
The flowers slowly rotated, emitting a mysterious Taoist charm that could help people understand the Tao and resonate with the will of Heaven.
With a gentle push, the Ruthless Great Emperor sent the Dao-Merging Flower into a streak of light, flying towards Jiang Feng and hovering quietly in front of him.
"Brother...take care."
Her voice was soft, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, "We...will see each other again soon."
After she finished speaking, she gave Jiang Feng one last deep, furtive look, as if she wanted to imprint his face into eternity.
Then, without hesitation, she turned around, took a step, and her figure instantly became illusory, merging back into the illusory image of the slowly flowing river of time.
As the long river rippled, her figure blurred and receded rapidly with the shimmering waves, eventually disappearing completely into the sky along with the illusory river, as if she had never existed.
Only the lingering chill of Daoist energy in the air and the "Dao-Merging Flower" floating in Jiang Feng's palm proved that the reunion and farewell that had transcended countless ages was not a dream.
The Ruthless Emperor has left.
If you could only read one fantasy novel in your life, it would probably be "I Just Became the Heavenly Emperor, and My Sister Exposes My Heavenly Court on Live Stream".
