Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor Chapter 1427 - 253: Golden War Chariot, Divine Emperor Appears
Previously on Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor...
Heading to the Divine World?
Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming exchanged glances, having embarked on the Path of Gods, they hadn’t anticipated heading to the Divine World immediately.
It was well known that the road to the Divine World was fraught with obstacles, but successfully setting foot on the Path of Gods meant staying in the Divine World forever.
"Divine General, we did not embark on the Divine Road to become gods. Please forgive us, but we might not be able to return to the Divine World with you," Yun Sheng pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"Nonsense! The Human World sees a chance to become a god once every three thousand years. Since you do not wish to become gods, why open the Divine Road, such folly," the Divine General was infuriated.
Such a precious opportunity, yet these two did not know to cherish it. No wonder the Divine General was enraged; he waved his Divine Artifact, pointing at Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming.
"Wait."
At that moment, nine fiery dragons streaked across the sky, as if tearing it in half.
A rumbling thundering was heard from the clouds, shaking heaven and earth.
A resplendent chariot slowly emerged from the clouds.
Upon seeing the chariot, everyone in Dihong City felt their knees weaken, their minds buzzing, unable to clearly see what kind of person appeared in the sky, or what was being said.
Yun Sheng saw blinding golden radiance, with nine Fire Dragons on the eastern sky dragging a chariot more dazzling than the sun, floating in the void.
Inside the chariot, a figure sat. Though his visage was indistinct, his presence exuded an aura of sovereign majesty, as if all beings under heaven were insignificant ants before him.
Time seemed to freeze.
"Is that the legendary Divine Emperor’s divine power?"
Yun Sheng was utterly shaken. Though she had sensed the Divine Emperor’s power when playing the Thousand-Year-Old Ice Zither, it was merely a shadow.
Compared to the real-life Emperor Huoyan arriving in the chariot, that power was less than a tenth.
Yun Sheng felt her breath growing difficult; her knees felt as if burdened with immense weight, but at that moment, Ye Beiming grasped her hand.
In the man’s hand, an endless force seemed to surge forth, and Yun Sheng felt her knees straighten again. Looking at Ye Beiming beside her, his eyes like stars, she felt infinite courage rise within her.
They stood shoulder to shoulder, unafraid in the face of the awe-inspiring presence of the Divine Emperor, their demeanor calm and serene. Even the Divine General before the emperor couldn’t help but cast a sidelong glance at them.
No wonder they were chosen by the Divine Emperor, truly extraordinary. The disdain held for them earlier diminished significantly.
"Heh, how many generations of my Yan Family descendants are you?" Emperor Huoyan immediately recognized Yun Sheng as not belonging to this world.
The test of the Emperor Hong Chapter Nine was all witnessed by Emperor Huoyan. His laughter was exuberant; he did not seem angry about Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming’s reversal.
"I am Yan Yunsheng, the 526th generation descendant of you, Emperor Huoyan," Yun Sheng maintained her composure, not intimidated by the divine power when facing the ancestor.
This alone showed that his descendant surpassed others in temperament and courage.
This made Emperor Huoyan very pleased. Having been an Emperor for so many years, those Divine Masters and Main Gods were always deferential to him, rarely speaking so evenly.
"Both of you passed the trial in Emperor Hong’s Ancient Tomb, but why do you refuse to walk the Path of Gods and become gods? As this Emperor understands, if you stay, you’ll face the worst crisis in the history of the Human World," Emperor Huoyan spoke, giving Ye Beiming a meaningful look.
Emperor Huoyan, being the incarnation of Emperor Shennong, tested his descendant Yun Sheng with a focus on medical virtue, while testing Ye Beiming differently.
He passed the test smoothly, which surprised Emperor Huoyan.
"Emperor, your test for us was to evaluate our mental fortitude to become gods. But if we become gods and leave behind a chaotic Human World, the test becomes pointless. Wouldn’t you want your descendant to be an escapist?" Yun Sheng replied.
"Well said, but you’ve missed the opportunity to enter the Path of Gods this time. It may not be so easy to open next time. Aren’t you regretful?" Emperor Huoyan felt pity for the two.
Three thousand years for a chance to open the Path of Gods isn’t easy.
"We have no regrets. But Emperor, this time we opened the Path of Gods for another purpose; please help us," Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming entered the Emperor’s Tomb not to become gods, but to find a way to avert the calamity of Ye Xiu’s rebirth.
"I understand your purpose. But the disparity between humans and gods is great; the calamity of the Human World must be resolved by the Human World itself," Emperor Huoyan’s words sank Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming’s hearts.
"But I can give you a small favor. The key to unraveling lies within the hands that tied the knot, the answer resides in all directions." Saying this, Emperor Huoyan’s divine light withdrew, the celestial chariot moved on, fading into the clouds.
"The answer resides in all directions?" Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming were even more mystified; what did Emperor Huoyan mean by his words?
The two left Emperor Hong’s Ancient Tomb without answers, feeling disappointed.
Upon exiting the tomb, Bo Bo ran over excitedly.
"Dear Master? Did you find a way to solve the Ye Xiu problem?" Bo Bo had glimpsed the divine light while in Dihong City.
The Divine Emperor’s majesty was indeed overwhelming, enough to terrify her, a minor Main God.
"Unfortunately, Emperor Huoyan didn’t tell us any answers. He only said one thing, ’The answer resides in all directions,’" Yun Sheng shook her head.
"The answer resides in all directions?" Bo Bo pondered with her head tilted.
"Master, could it be..." An idea struck Bo Bo, and she suddenly bounced up. "Master, I think I understand Emperor Huoyan’s meaning. The answer resides in all directions must refer to my Mother Goddess, the Four Directions Divine Sovereign!"
In the Divine World, the Four Directions Divine Sovereign watched the returning celestial chariot with some annoyance.
"Emperor Huoyan, you’ve really put me in a tough spot this time." The one who made a bet with Emperor Huoyan was Bo Bo’s mother, the Four Directions Divine Sovereign, the god of the Divine World’s Four Directions World and a former subordinate, later a close friend, of Emperor Huoyan.
"Four Directions, it was your word. Or do you actually intend for your precious disciple to remain a spare Realm God?" Emperor Huoyan wore a gleeful expression.
"Fine, I admit defeat this time," the Four Directions Divine Sovereign replied helplessly.
Her divine sense turned as she heard the report from the Divine Envoy in the Four Directions Divine Palace.
"Even the lad Mingri can’t leave Bo Bo behind. Very well, I shall help them once," the Four Directions Divine Sovereign stepped into the void and disappeared.
Emperor Huoyan still smiled, his eyes full of profound mystery.
