Ancient Godly Monarch Chapter 2050 - Guest From Another Universe

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Standing up with trembling limbs, Qin Feng and Qin Qing watched as Nanfeng Shengge personally guided them toward the inner sanctum of the Godking Palace. Gesturing toward the girl at his side, Qin Feng remarked, “This is my girlfriend, Little He.”

“I see, let her come along,” Nanfeng Shengge replied with a gentle smile.

Little He stood up, her heart racing with excitement. The claims Qin Feng had made were true; the legendary Ancient Godly Monarch really was his master.

The rest of the crowd attempted to follow, but they were blocked by the fairies of the Southern Phoenix Clan and were forced to stay behind.

Deep within a hall of the Godking Palace, Qin Wentian beamed with a smile as he watched them approach. “Little fellow, you’ve already stepped into the immortal realm, and little Qin Qing has grown into quite the beauty.”

The pair trembled slightly. Now that they were actually in the presence of Qin Wentian, their nerves were so frayed they found themselves speechless.

“Big Br... Godly Monarch.” Qin Qing stammered, unsure of the proper address. Qin Wentian gave her a playful glare. “What Godly Monarch? Just calling me Big Brother Qin is enough. And you, Qin Feng, it has been years. Do you no longer know how to greet your master?”

“This disciple pays his respects to Master.” Only then did Qin Feng step forward. He knelt on the floor, intending to kowtow in a formal display of disciple etiquette. However, before his knees could hit the ground, an invisible force gently lifted him back up.

“Things should remain as they were. If you insist on such formalities, I might as well pretend I don't know you,” Qin Wentian joked. His voice carried the weight of ages. Given his current status, even old acquaintances might feel suffocated by his presence. He disliked this; perhaps only those who had stayed by his side throughout his journey could still interact with him naturally.

“Big Brother Qin.” Qin Qing nodded, her heart overflowing with joy. Her Big Brother Qin was unchanged—still kind and approachable. With misty eyes, she looked at him and whispered, “Thank you, Big Brother Qin.”

“Silly girl.” Qin Wentian walked over and patted her head affectionately. Even back then, she had been a selfless soul, willing to give everything for her brother.

“And your name is Little He?” Qin Wentian turned his gaze toward the girl standing beside Qin Feng.

“Mhm.” Little He nodded vigorously, stealing glances at the peerless figure before her.

“From now on, follow Qin Qing’s lead and just call me Big Brother Qin. Don't worry, even though Qin Feng is my disciple, I won't let him mistreat you. If he ever bullies you, just come to me with your complaints,” Qin Wentian said with a laugh. Little He beamed and nodded, throwing a playful look at Qin Feng, who rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

“That man outside is your older brother, isn't he? What is his character like?” Qin Wentian asked casually. Little He’s smile faltered. She looked at Qin Wentian and admitted, “Big Brother Qin, my brother... if Qin Feng weren't actually your disciple, he would likely have forced us apart.”

“And what about you? If Qin Feng wasn't my disciple, would you still choose to be with him?” Qin Wentian asked with a chuckle. The question made Little He shiver. Even though she called him 'Big Brother Qin,' a simple inquiry from him could still instill a sense of profound awe.

“Master, Little He isn't that kind of person. Before we even entered, she had already decided to leave everything behind and wander the world with me,” Qin Feng quickly explained.

“Why are you so defensive?” Qin Wentian glared at his disciple. The moment he asked the question, the answer was already clear to him. At his level, no thought could be hidden from his sight. He had only asked to ensure Qin Feng wasn't being manipulated.

“Qin Feng, Qin Qing. Both of you may select a residence here to live in. You can move in whenever you like. As for Little He’s family, we will provide them with appropriate compensation for any help they’ve given you, but do not sever the ties completely. They are still her kin, after all,” Qin Wentian stated calmly. He knew Qin Feng would catch his meaning. Since the family had hidden agendas, they shouldn't expect to exploit their connection to Qin Feng for gain, but it would be too cruel to force Little He to abandon her family entirely.

“This disciple understands.” Qin Feng nodded with a smile, knowing exactly how to handle the situation.

“Shengge, please take them to choose their new home. I have a guest to welcome,” Qin Wentian instructed. Nanfeng Shengge’s eyes sparked with curiosity. Was there truly someone who warranted a personal welcome from Qin Wentian himself?

The majority of his loved ones were already within the palace. Who possessed a status high enough for such an honor?

“Understood.” She nodded and led Qin Feng’s group away. Shortly after, Qin Feng and Qin Qing were granted a magnificent estate, a palace as vast as a kingdom. Even the maidservants there possessed cultivation bases in the immortal realm, making the group feel as though they had stepped into a dream.

The Godking Palace was a destination millions yearned for, a place where even World Overlords and Heavenly Deities could not enter without permission.

“Qin Feng, are we really staying here?” Little He felt as if she were dreaming; it was all so surreal. She had believed Qin Feng’s stories about his master, but those events happened a long time ago. She had worried that Qin Wentian, having reached the summit of existence, might have forgotten a minor disciple from his past. It would have been only natural if he chose not to acknowledge them.

“I always knew Big Brother Qin wouldn't forget us,” Qin Qing said, her eyes still wet with tears of joy.

“And yet someone was so terrified earlier they couldn't even say hello,” Qin Feng teased, earning a sharp glare from his sister. Regardless, their hardships were finally over.

Watching them, Nanfeng Shengge smiled. Their destinies had been rewritten today. They could now travel the world without a single worry.

Reflecting on the past, even Nanfeng Shengge felt the sheer unreality of it all.

... Qin Wentian appeared at the gates of the Godking Palace, arriving in person to greet a visitor.

In the distance, two figures were approaching. Qin Wentian recognized them both. The man in front wore robes as white as snow; he possessed an ordinary aura that somehow felt entirely otherworldly, as if he were a being beyond the mortal plane.

The figure following behind was also a familiar face. Qin Wentian had met him once before and had received a great favor from him.

“I am honored that you two seniors have graced me with a visit,” Qin Wentian said with a smile.

“You have already transcended. There is no need for such titles. We stand on equal ground now. Since I am your senior in age, you may simply call me Elder Brother if you wish,” the white-robed youth replied with his usual carefree air.

“Very well, Elder Brother,” Qin Wentian agreed immediately.

“Since you are calling my master your Elder Brother, it would be inappropriate for you to call me senior. In fact, your cultivation is now superior to mine,” the man behind the youth laughed. This was none other than one of the eight ancient godkings—the Godking of Time from the Mystic Region.

“Your master?” Qin Wentian’s eyes widened before he chuckled. Indeed, in this world, perhaps only this white-robed youth was fit to be the master of the Godking of Time. Of course, the current Qin Wentian was also at that level.

“I told you once that I was searching for the path to transcendence. I sought to travel freely through time, yet I could never bridge that gap. Then I met my master. He had already achieved it, so I shamelessly insisted on following him until he eventually gave in and accepted me,” the Time King explained, laughing without a hint of ego. At his level, he cared only for the pursuit of the Dao.

“Unfortunately, he is bound to fail. Transcendence requires one to gather the collective will of all living things. The recent struggle for supremacy was that very chance. The Godking of the Western Paradise realized this, but his path was flawed, and his efforts only served to pave your way,” the white-robed man noted. “But enough of that. I came to congratulate you—won't you invite me in?”

“Elder Brother, please, after you.” Qin Wentian snapped out of his thoughts and laughed, ushering them inside. The three of them walked toward a secluded, peaceful area within the palace grounds.

The youth in white was a man who clearly preferred solitude. He likely cherished the quiet, which explained why his name wasn't known across the world despite his power.

“Elder Brother, I’ve been curious. If transcendence requires the will of all lives, then the world should surely know the names of those who achieve it. Why is it that so few know of your existence?” Qin Wentian asked. Even the records of the Sacred Academy held no mention of him.

“Technically, I haven't transcended in the way you think,” the youth replied, shaking his head. “To this universe and to you, I am an outsider.”

Qin Wentian’s expression shifted. “Elder Brother, you come from a universe beyond the Nine Heavenly Layers?”

“Indeed.” The youth nodded. “Now that you have reached this stage, you understand that the cosmos is infinite and without end. The universe within the Nine Heavenly Layers is just one of many perfect world systems. In the vastness of space, there are countless others. I was once a wanderer of the cosmos, visiting various universes, and eventually arrived here. I found the laws of this world fascinating and perfect enough to produce someone of my caliber. So, I stayed. Now, the person I was waiting for has finally appeared. That person is you.”

Qin Wentian was stunned. To wander the cosmos and visit different world systems—how long had this man lived? Even in the infinite cosmos, such beings were incredibly rare. This realization only reinforced the true magnitude of a transcender's power—a power he now shared.

“Would you be interested in roaming the cosmos with me in the future?” the white-robed youth asked with a laugh.

“I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few years for me, Elder Brother,” Qin Wentian replied with a smile. He knew that while there was nothing left for him to strive for here, this was still his home. He wouldn't leave until he had seen everything this universe had to offer.

“I understand. We both took the same path to get here. I don't mind waiting. At our level, time is a trivial thing,” the youth smiled. He knew that eventually, Qin Wentian would feel the loneliness that comes with being invincible.

“Then it’s a promise,” Qin Wentian said. He, too, was eager to see what lay beyond his own world. But first, he would explore his own universe to its fullest.

The two of them continued to chat and laugh, sharing stories of different worlds and the youth’s many travels. Their laughter echoed through the quiet garden until, much later, the white-robed man and the Godking of Time took their leave. They departed with a pact: one day, they would travel the stars together!
