Chapter 1370 - Resurrection

The wedding concluded beautifully as the entire Vast Thousand Star Domains watched on.

The celebrations in the imperial city lasted for several months and the top-level experts from the various domains and planets rejoiced merrily for an entire year.

The bridal chamber was in the Light Palace within Light City, and naturally, no one dared to even attempt to eavesdrop on the proceedings.

One year later, the flower petals of the Heavenly Dao that scattered throughout the Heaven Wasteland Domain finally dissipated and everything reverted back to normal.

The palace released news that both empresses were expecting.

This news definitely captured the attention of the world.

After the two empires, the Heaven Wasteland Empire and the Immortal Empire, had merged, there was no indication of who would be appointed the true emperor of the Immortal Empire. Imperial God Emperor Ye Qingyu was the spiritual leader and the godfather of the entire empire, but he rarely interfered in political affairs. The large empire functioned like clockwork thanks to the optical brain, [The Beginning], and many peerless geniuses like Lin Zheng to support the Imperial God Emperor. The empire was flourishing and many people guessed that the Imperial God Emperor might appoint one of his children to inherit the throne if he was not interested in assuming this position himself.

Now that both empresses were pregnant, whoever would bear the empire a son meant that their son would stand to inherit the throne.

As countless people speculated and hoped for the arrival of the royal children, Song Xiaojun went into labor first but she gave birth to a daughter. Ten days later, Yu Xiaoxing bore Ye Qingyu a son.

He now had a beautiful son and daughter.

Ye Qingyu stood on the steps of the divine temple at the fire tree woods of the Light City and held his children, looking content and happy.

Another year later, both children were growing well and also displayed signs of an incredible talent for cultivation.

Ye Qingyu did not announce the heir to the throne of the Immortal Empire.

He spent the next decade roaming every domain and planet with his wives and children. They saw many beautiful scenes and experienced the local cultures for themselves. They even left the Vast Thousand Star Domains and headed to the Blood Spear Star Domain, the Dark Purple Star Domain, the Underworld Star Domain, and so on. His daughter, Ye Sinan, and his son, Ye Tingyu, started to mature, and as they heard legends that mentioned their parents throughout the world, their admiration for Ye Qingyu grew even deeper and became ingrained in their bones.

After they ended their travels, Song Xiaojun and Yu Xiaoxing returned to the Heaven Wasteland Domain with their children while Ye Qingyu headed to various lands to meet his old friends.

He met Yan Buhui in what used to be known as the Snow Ground Demon Court in the Heaven Wasteland Domain.

They used to be rivals but they were now fast friends. Yan Buhui had not attended Ye Qingyu's wedding because Lu Heng was about to give birth then. Now, he was already the father of three children. He had refused to take up an official position and remained in seclusion in the dark valleys of the Snow Ground Demon Court. First Princess Yu Junqing was also living here together with his family. After so many years, she still chose to remain single, nor was she set on pursuing the martial way. She lived life on her own terms like a carefree heron, without any desires or wishes.

Lu Heng thought of Sister Yu Junhan, who had been as cold as an icy fairy, when she saw Ye Qingyu. Unfortunately, she had already disappeared and could no longer be found.

Ye Qingyu did not let Lu Heng know that Yu Junhan was merely a fictional character created by the Peerless War God and had already faded into nothingness some time ago.

After all, Yu Junhan had once played an important part in Lu Heng's life.

Then, Ye Qingyu went on to Matchless Blade City where he drank and chatted merrily with Qin Zhishui, his old friend. There weren't many people left in the world who would interact frankly and freely with him now that he was the Imperial God Emperor. But Qin Zhishui was one of the handful of people he could talk to.

After he left Matchless Blade City, Ye Qingyu went to Clear River Domain to meet up with the round-faced prince of the Demon Spider Race, Mo Jin.

The Demon Spider Race had grown to become one of the major races of the Clear River Domain, and Mo Jin had become the greatest clan leader of the Demon Spider Race. After a chat with Mo Jin, Ye Qingyu learned that the person who had secretly protected him during the battle of the Clear River Domain was none other than Song Xiaojun, and found out that the Demon Spider Race had a strange relationship with the Unmoving City of Darkness.

Several old acquaintances had already passed away in Flowing Light City.

Ye Qingyu visited the graves of his old acquaintances before he left.

He had not revealed himself when he visited the various domains and planets with his wives and children, but now, he took time to visit them one at a time.

Finally, he went to the Chaotic Ruins Domain and went to the divine temple of the Alliance of Domains, which had been reconstructed after the Divine Emperor's cronies had reduced it to a pile of rubble. Ren Puyang's memorial tablet could be found within the divine temple, so he knelt and mourned the passing of this great man. He had mastered the art of resurrection, but Ren Puyang's death was so long ago that there wasn't a single wisp of his soul left to be found. No matter how powerful he was, he was unable to bring him back to life.

There were some things in this world that would become his lifelong regrets.

After he visited all his old friends and acquaintances, Ye Qingyu went to look for the Ferryman of the Netherworld, and headed to the place of death.

A new and tiny World Tree had grown beside the Well of Life and Death more than two thousand years later. Its branches were full of leaves and it looked like a parasol tree. A phoenix nest had naturally grown on top of it, where there was a large phoenix egg nestled inside that gave off a warm glow. This was the start of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden's rebirth.

Liu Shaji had taken less than a century to be reborn, so he had lost all his memories after he came back to life.

Ye Qingyu hoped that he would be able to truly resurrect the Celestial Phoenix Maiden this time, so he had spent a long time on this process. He had always been keeping an eye on the Celestial Phoenix Maiden over the past thousands of years, and finally, he sensed a familiar aura from the phoenix egg. He knew this because he had the blood of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden within him.

Ye Qingyu smiled as he waited at the place of death.

He sat under the tiny World Tree and looked calm and composed as he waited for the Celestial Phoenix Maiden to emerge.

No one knew how much time had passed before he finally heard a soft cracking noise from the phoenix nest.

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden emerged from the egg completely naked and looked dazed. She had finally been reborn.

A misty fog swirled around her and she looked at her surroundings in surprise.

Ye Qingyu appeared in front of her.

"Are you... Brother Qingyu?" The Celestial Phoenix Maiden, who had looked a little dazed earlier, slowly started to come back to her senses and recognized him after a moment's hesitation. Her beautiful face broke into a happy smile and she instinctively rushed over and threw herself into his arms.

This was a revelation of her true feelings.

She quickly realized that something was wrong and let go of Ye Qingyu with a start. "Wasn't I... dead? Why..."

Ye Qingyu smiled tenderly at her, took out the clothes he had prepared beforehand, and wrapped them around her. "I told you once that even if the seas and the mountains fall, or the planets and stars move, I will find a way to revive you. And today, I've finally managed to fulfill my promises. Everything will start from the beginning... Let's go home."
