Ancient Godly Monarch Chapter 2052 - Finale

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Time drifted by unnoticed. Within the particle world, rumors began to emerge from Chu Country, with some claiming to have witnessed the Ancient Godly Monarch, Qin Wentian. They described him resting peacefully against the trunk of a massive ancient tree while a goddess from the ninth heavens performed a dance before him.

Others asserted they saw Qin Wentian purchasing several immortal boats to sail across the lakes, soaking in the sun like a commoner. However, the companions surrounding him were far too extraordinary to be ordinary people.

Before long, reports of the Ancient Godly Monarch Qin Wentian traveling through the particle world spread like wildfire. These rumors eventually reached the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. World overlords and heavenly deities descended upon this particle world, offering guidance to the locals while using their immense immortal sense and divine sense to sweep across the lands. Yet, they found no sign of the Ancient Godly Monarch. It was possible that Qin Wentian possessed heaven-defying techniques capable of masking himself and his entourage from any divine or immortal prying.

Within Moongaze City, located where the Grand Xia Empire once stood, the Hua Clan had been experiencing a period of unrest.

This was the same Hua Clan that Hua Taixu originated from, his ancestral line that had persisted in the particle world to this day.

Over twenty years ago, a child was born into the Hua Clan. To honor the supreme expert their family had once produced, they named the infant Hua Taixu. News had arrived from Azure Mystic that the Godking Palace had bestowed the title of Lord of Samsara upon the original Hua Taixu. To protect the lives of the innocent, he had sacrificed himself to transform into the dao. The Hua Clan desired for their future generations to hold this name in eternal remembrance.

Consequently, they placed immense expectations on this young Hua Taixu. He did not let them down, exhibiting unparalleled talent and a spirited nature. However, the Hua Clan was devastated when, just as they arranged a marriage for him and finalized the engagement, Hua Taixu became obsessed with the Buddhist Dao. While cultivating the powerful daos of the buddhist-path was acceptable, Hua Taixu went as far as shaving his head to become a monk! He declared his intention to devote his entire heart to Buddhism.

The Hua Clan was naturally united in their opposition. Hua Taixu’s father even fell ill from the stress and refused to acknowledge him as a son.

On this day, a mysterious visitor arrived at the Hua Clan. Upon seeing the newcomer, the members of the Hua Clan began to tremble, their legs shaking so violently they appeared ready to collapse into a kneel.

“I am simply here for a casual stroll,” Qin Wentian said with a smile. The Hua Clan members realized that their ancestor, the original Hua Taixu, shared a history with the Ancient Godly Monarch. This was likely why the Ancient Godly Monarch had come to visit.

A strikingly handsome monk approached. Upon seeing Qin Wentian, he bowed and said, “The Ancient Godly Monarch coming by to visit. What a rare occasion. It just so happens I have some questions about Buddhism in my heart. I hope the Ancient Godly Monarch would be able to resolve my puzzlement.”

“I am aware of your questions, but I cannot provide the answers you seek.” Qin Wentian looked at the handsome monk, offering a soft smile. Though his look and personality were different, the connection remained.

“You are the Ancient Godly Monarch, yet even you cannot resolve my puzzlement?” Hua Taixu questioned.

“Even as the Ancient Godly Monarch, my understanding of Buddhism is far too shallow to guide you. In the future, you shall become the pinnacle of Buddhism within the universe of the nine heavenly layers, saving the masses from agony and leading the world toward righteousness. You will be the true face of the orthodox buddhist dao. Therefore, you must find your own path through your own insights.” Qin Wentian left him with those words before turning to leave, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The hearts of the Hua Clan thundered at his proclamation. Soon, the sound of knees hitting the floor echoed as they prostrated themselves in the direction where Qin Wentian had vanished. They were left in a state of profound shock that would not fade for a long time.

In the future, Hua Taixu would found a buddhist sect and stand as the orthodox representative of Buddhism for this world.

Had anyone else made such a claim, the Hua Clan would have dismissed them as insane. But the one who spoke was Qin Wentian, the Ancient Godly Monarch.

Thus, it was certain that Hua Taixu was destined to be the Buddha Lord of all living beings.

The news of Qin Wentian’s visit to the Hua Clan spread rapidly. More people became convinced that the Ancient Godly Monarch was indeed dwelling within the particle world. The world was filled with excitement, and many hoped for the luck to encounter him. If they could receive a title from the Ancient Godly Monarch just as Hua Taixu had, how magnificent would that be? Unfortunately, such dreams were destined to remain nothing more than fantasies.

Aside from the stir caused by Qin Wentian, other events were unfolding across the particle world.

In the location of the Immortal Martial World, a fairy was seen descending from the heavens onto a lake, where she played ancient melodies upon a zither while floating on the water. The music was exquisite and peaceful, yet it carried an underlying tone of deep yearning and grief. Those who heard the melody would invariably find themselves moved to tears by the raw emotion it stirred.

People wondered silently: who could possibly be the object of such intense longing from this fairy?

Furthermore, the fairy played her zither day and night without stopping for food or drink, earning the pity of all who saw her.

Another significant event occurred involving the Battle Sword Sect, which Qin Wentian had once belonged to. While its members could now enter the Godking Palace at will, a powerful fairy from the sect chose to return to the mortal world to establish a new branch of the Battle Sword Sect within the particle world. It was said she did this to follow the Ancient Godly Monarch’s words and to provide guidance to the people here.

This fairy was a woman of peerless beauty, possessing an aura of cold arrogance and an icy demeanor. Rumors suggested she was once the senior apprentice sister of the Ancient Godly Monarch and had shared adventures with him in the past.

Many years later, the strings of the zither played by the fairy finally snapped, yet the one she waited for had still not arrived. The day after the strings broke, she vanished as if she had never been there. Many who had been drawn to her searched for her, but she left no trail. Some believed that when the strings broke, her beloved finally returned to take her away. Others thought the broken strings symbolized a shattered heart and that she had taken her own life for love.

No one truly knew which theory was correct. However, some claimed to have seen the Ancient Godly Monarch passing near that lake around that time, though this was never confirmed.

Eventually, sightings of the Ancient Godly Monarch in the particle world ceased. Simultaneously, news began to circulate that he was present within the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.

In familiar locations like the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, and the Southern Phoenix Immortal City, traces of Qin Wentian reappeared. Witnesses claimed to see the Ancient Godly Monarch accompanied by a group of stunningly beautiful fairy maidens.

On the Myriad Devil Islands, people also reported seeing him. This was particularly true for a specific island on the edge of the Myriad Devil Islands. Many saw Qin Wentian’s figure there, appearing as though he were revisiting his past. Perhaps he had a close acquaintance in that place?

From the particle world to Azure Mystic, and then through the other thirty-two immortal realms, the legends of the Ancient Godly Monarch continued to be told year after year. It remained an eternal subject of conversation throughout the thirty-three immortal realms.

Centuries and millennia passed, yet the legend of the Ancient Godly Monarch endured, and his influence seemed to be everywhere.

...

Thousands of years later, the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were more thriving than ever. Many new heavenly deities had risen, though most came from the branches of the Godking Palace. These individuals had the advantage of entering the Heaven Vault for cultivation and attending dao lectures from senior deities. However, other geniuses also reached the deity realm. These world overlords would travel to the particle world to teach and guide others, earning the right to enter the Heaven Vault. In practice, the Heaven Vault had become accessible to the public.

Beneath the Heaven Vault's entrance, the grand Qin Heavenly Divine Sect still stood in the Boundless Sea Region. It had become a historical symbol, as the Godking Palace was now the true heart of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

Beyond the sect’s borders, the vast ocean remained. People sailed these waters daily, looking up at the Heaven Vault, feeling as though being on the sea brought them closer to the stars.

Today, a group appeared at the edge of the Boundless Sea Region, immediately drawing every eye. The crowd froze, their faces blooming with fanatical excitement.

“The Ancient Godly Monarch!” a voice cried out, trembling.

“Shh.” Qin Wentian gestured for silence, smiling at the onlookers. He then led his group of beauties forward. The sight of the women was so dazzling it left the spectators dazed.

Before anyone could react, Qin Wentian had boarded a boat and set sail toward the heart of the sea. Those on the shore watched in a daze. Someone remarked, “I always wondered what I’d say if I met the Ancient Godly Monarch. Now that he’s here, I can’t even find my voice...”

“I feel the same,” another person sighed, shaking their head with a wry smile.

“The fairies with him are so stunning. Truly, the most beautiful women in all the thirty-three immortal realms must be at his side.”

“Don't forget the one already in the Boundless Sea Region,” someone added with a grin. Everyone’s eyes lit up, remembering the flawless beauty of the woman mentioned. Goddess Nichang, once the top beauty of the Heaven Region, had been sailing the boundless seas for years, residing in Boundless City.

The people exchanged knowing looks, smiles spreading across their faces as they realized the situation.

Out on the Boundless Sea Region, Qin Wentian lay relaxed on the boat's deck, his hands tucked behind his head as a pillow while he enjoyed the sun. Mo Qingcheng, sitting beside him, looked at the sky and said, “We spent so much time in the Heaven Vault above this sea, but we never took the time to appreciate how vast and beautiful it is.”

“My Qingcheng is the most beautiful thing here,” Qin Wentian teased.

“What about sister Qing`er and the others?” Mo Qingcheng asked with a smile.

“They are just as beautiful as my Qingcheng,” he answered.

“Sweet-talker,” Mo Qingcheng said, rolling her eyes, though she was clearly happy. No matter how many times they had this exchange, it always brought warmth to her heart.

Looking at her lovely face, Qin Wentian suddenly suggested, “Qingcheng, let’s have a child.”

“Ah...” Mo Qingcheng was caught off guard, her face flushing red. Seeing him staring at her, she looked away and whispered, “Go talk to sister Qing`er about that.”

“Qing`er,” Qin Wentian called out, turning to smile at her.

“You should ask sister Youhuang,” Qing`er replied. Qin Wentian shifted his gaze to Beiming Youhuang.

“Me?” Beiming Youhuang’s face turned bright red. She stole a glance at the others before giving a small, shy nod.

“Sister Youhuang, you...” Seeing her nod, the other women burst into laughter as they approached. Beiming Youhuang’s embarrassment deepened as she realized Qingcheng and Qing`er had set a trap for her.

Bright laughter rang out from the boat, echoing across the waters of the Boundless Sea Region.

Elsewhere in the same sea, another boat drifted quietly. A woman of supreme beauty sat alone, her eyes fixed on the horizon, letting the waves carry her wherever they pleased. No one knew where her journey would end.
