The Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty was one of the greatest Forces in the Boundless Expanse. It was not an independent True World or Civilisation. Instead, it was a Dynasty formed from different Sects, Races, and Civilisation Systems.

 

In the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty, one could see the Ancient Deities from the Divine Dao Civilisation as well as Ancestral Dao Realm experts from the Immortal Dao Civilisation.

 

There were also people from other Civilisation Systems who had reached the pinnacle of their strength.

 

In the past, different Forces managed their own territories in the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty just like the Rising Dawn Civilisation and the Primary Hope Civilisation. Different Civilisation Systems went against each other and the situation was chaotic.

 

Then, the Main Happiness Emperor built the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty and waged wars against the various Forces. He eventually subdued all of them and ended the chaotic situation. Following the unification, the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty became as powerful as any Supreme Civilisation.

 

Also, unlike those True Worlds and Civilisations where different Forces ruled over their territories, the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty was more than just a Force.

 

Every Family or Sect from the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty was as mighty as any Immortal Force.

 

This burly man was the Great Deity General of the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty. He had followed the Main Happiness Emperor to wage wars against 3,000 Celestial Mountains, 800 Demonic Lands, and 33 Purgatories. Since he could subdue so many Forces, it was clear that he was strong beyond belief.

 

After he told his subordinates to bring Master Xing Ming back to his room, he also told the ministers to leave.

 

Behind the Great Deity General, a subordinate clad in armour came over and asked in puzzlement, “General, His Majesty went in seclusion after receiving an ancient scroll from that particular place. He also told Master Xing Ming to make a deduction on the fate of the Dynasty. Has His Majesty expected this day to come?”

 

“His Majesty is one of the mightiest people in the Boundless Expanse. People like us can never know what’s on his mind. Anyway, His Majesty has indeed been acting strangely as of late.

 

“In the past, even when he cultivated in seclusion, he would leave behind a clone in the Main Happiness Palace. However, when I went to the Main Happiness Palace recently to report on some issues, I could not feel His Majesty’s presence. He didn’t even leave behind a clone. I’m worried that His Majesty might have come across danger when wandering around the depths of Spacetime, which is why he has no choice but to bring his clone with him.

 

“Darkness is about to return and the remnants of the Black Disaster have shown up. His Majesty has been wandering around the depths of Spacetime, so I suppose he must have come into contact with some karmic connections.” The Great Deity General sighed with anxiety. A glint flashed across his eyes.

 

“I hope my speculations are wrong. After all, an ancient scroll has been sent from that place. With that being’s help, there shouldn’t…” He suddenly realised that he shouldn’t be talking about these in front of his subordinates, so he stopped himself from speaking further.

 

It was thanks to the brave and intelligent the Main Happiness Emperor that the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty could end that chaotic era, which had lasted for countless years and achieve unification.

 

If something happened to the Main Happiness Emperor, the Great Deity General would not dare to image what the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty would end up becoming.

 

…

 

Meanwhile, in the central area of this Dynasty, there was a celestial city that was surrounded by stars and universes. It was an invincible city that was as bright as sunlight.

 

A handsome middle-aged man was clad in black clothes embroidered with Dragon patterns. His brows were knitted together. He was seated behind a table made from green jade. On the table were all sorts of scrolls and Jade Amulets. Wisps of Mist of Chaos drifted around the place.

 

In front of him was a partition made from obsidian stones. Since he was behind the partition, his figure could not be clearly seen.

 

“Darkness had returned and the remnants of the Black Disaster are acting up. In the following days, the Boundless Expanse will descend into an upheaval. Many things will drastically change. Although the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty is powerful, it’s still not strong enough…”

 

The golden scroll was laid flat in front of this middle-aged man.

 

Every word was neat and beautifully written. As a celestial aura exuded from it, it was as though the words would be manifested in the void at any moment.

 

He read the words in silence. There was no emotion behind his eyes that seemed as boundless as a universe.

 

“Does he want me to seize the chance and take action, even if it means that the entire Boundless Expanse will descend into chaos? The Master of Ardent Ruins Cave is truly ambitious.” The middle-aged man emotionlessly looked through the golden scroll. Then, a scornful smile played on his lips.

 

There was another person in the hall. He was a man with a beard and tan skin. His long hair coiled above his head, forming a spiral shape. There was also a string of black and white beads around his neck. Every bead was as large as a fist. The surface was uneven and they seemed to be made from bones.

 

He was also seated behind a table, but the top was covered with all sorts of food and wine. He was munching on the delicacies as his lips were greasy.

 

“Life in the Main Happiness Palace is wonderful. There’s food and wine everywhere. It’s unlike the time I spent in the desert. There was no one else. Still, my Master told me to stay there. I wonder what the goal is. You’re incredible, Jiang Yun. Every time I come here, you’ll make sure I have enough food and wine.”

 

The bearded man kept stuffing food into his mouth, so he could not speak clearly.

 

If someone else were there, they would’ve been shocked and immediately knelt fearfully upon hearing his words.

 

That was because Jiang Yun was the name of the Main Happiness Emperor. No one dared to address him by name when right in front of him.

 

To the entire the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty, this name had a special meaning. They dare not mention the name. What was more, even if they only thought about the name in their minds, the Main Happiness Emperor would detect it.

 

However, this man had the guts to mention his name without worrying about his safety.

 

“If you like the food, I’ll tell someone to send it to your place, Senior Brother Xing Sha. Thanks for sending me the letter from the Cave Master.” The middle-aged man said nonchalantly.

 

He did not mind that the bearded man was so at ease. It seemed that he was used to it.

 

He was the Main Happiness Emperor of the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty. Considering his temperament, it was difficult to associate him with the intimidating and authoritative Emperor.

 

The bearded man who kept stuffing food into his mouth was the Third Disciple of the Master of the Ardent Ruins Cave. His name was Xing Sha.

 

“There’s no need for that. Too much food and wine might cause me trouble. If I can’t complete the tasks given by Master, the consequences will be unbearable for me.” Xing Sha quickly waved his hand. He seemed fearful of the consequences, so he stopped putting meat into his mouth.

 

A smile played on the Main Happiness Emperor’s usually authoritative-looking face when he saw that.

 

“Since I’ve had enough wine and food and sent you the ancient scroll, I should take my leave now, Jiang Yun. I have no idea when we’ll meet again, though.”

 

Then, Xing Sha quickly devoured the food in front of him and gulped down all the wine. After that, he let out a burp and rose to his feet, ready to leave.

 

The Main Happiness Emperor closed the ancient scroll and got up as well to see him off.

 

“Jiang Yun.” Suddenly, Xing Sha raised his hand to stop him. His nonchalance was replaced with seriousness.

 

His eyes were bigger than those of most people. He stared fixedly at the Main Happiness Emperor and seemed hesitant. After some internal struggle, he soon made up his mind.

 

“Some time ago, I heard my Master talk about your Daughter. You shouldn’t have let her be born in this epoch. He’ll likely send someone to take her away so that she’ll cultivate by his side.”

 

Upon finishing his words, he turned into black smoke and disappeared from the hall without waiting for the other man to respond. It was as though he had exerted himself to say those words.

 

On the other hand, the Main Happiness Emperor was rooted to the spot. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned pale. A murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

 

“Thanks for the heads-up, Senior Brother Xing Sha.” He was the Emperor of the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty! He soon pulled himself together and appeared calm and collected again.

 

He saluted in the direction Xing Sha had left.

 

However, the moment he did that, a wisp of black mist suddenly flashed across his eyes. It was about to spread.

 

The Main Happiness Emperor’s expression changed. Although he was still in the hall, he hurriedly waved his hand and cordoned off the surrounding Spacetime.

 

Then, he sat down cross-legged and used his immense force to suppress the violent aura in his body.

 

A long time later, the black mist behind his gaze was finally suppressed.

 

When one looked closely, they would realise half of the Main Happiness Emperor’s face was darker than usual.

 

“When it rains, it pours. I thought I had safely fled and completely cast off that wisp of black mist. I didn’t expect that…” The Main Happiness Emperor opened his eyes, feeling exhausted. It was difficult for him to suppress that black mist that suddenly appeared.

 

It was easy in the beginning, but it became increasingly difficult as time passed. Now, he would have to exert himself to do that.

 

If this happened to someone else, they would face tremendous danger. It was no wonder the entire Boundless Expanse had fallen into a despairing situation in the past.

 

After getting some rest, the Main Happiness Emperor now looked just like his usual self. Then, he ordered solemnly, “Pass on my order and tell Weiyang to return to the Celestial Dynasty and see me.”

 

…

 

At the end of the Boundless Expanse, a thick black mist was coming over from distant places. It passed through every fissure of the Nightmare Demon Realm and spread in all directions.

 

The sky in this Realm had turned as transparent as bubbles. It was constantly integrated into the black mist.

 

Even the World Principles became blurry and seemingly virtual as time passed. It eventually dissipated into the black mist.

 

It was a day that was horrifying to the entire Boundless Expanse. The wisp of black mist that had devastated the entire Boundless Expanse in the past had made a comeback.

 

Moreover, it was spreading from the depths of somewhere at an even greater speed. It engulfed nearby Star Territories and universes.

 

Wherever the black mist went, those Star Territories would dim. The black mist contained a destructive and corrosive power. Any living beings who came into contact with it would be affected.

 

At this moment, all people from different Civilisations and Kingdoms who saw the sight were terrified. They did not expect this day to come so soon.

 

Many Forces immediately sent powerful cultivators to the place where the black mist came from. They informed those from nearby Civilisations and True Worlds to quickly flee, to prevent coming into contact with the black mist.

 

The Boundless Expanse, which had enjoyed many peaceful years, suddenly descended into turmoil because of the black mist’s appearance.

 

Those from the Supreme True Worlds and Supreme Civilisations naturally could not sit back and do nothing. They immediately tried to come up with a solution. At the same time, they sent powerful cultivators to the source in the hope of stopping the black mist from spreading.

 

Many had found it inconceivable that they could faintly hear an ancient voice. It was like the powerful Ancestral Demon was growling.

 

“The Grand Ceremony will now commence…”

 

In the remote land where the black mist came from, Heaven and Earth seemed fragmented. There were countless ancient dark palaces. The land suddenly descended from the void without a warning, which was strange.

 

At the same time, portals opened up as beings who had merged with the black mist shot forward like waves. They streamed towards different universes, storming into nearby Civilisations and Kingdoms.

 

Wisps of black mist emerged from behind the portals. There was a boundless dark land where many blood altars had been erected. The sight was so horrifying that those who could detect it trembled in fear.

 

“This is a Divine Empire I’ve spent a lot of effort to build. I won’t let the darkness contaminate it!”

 

Spacetimes were in turmoil in the Boundless Expanse. An ancient battleship arrived. The intimidating Deity, who was surrounded by several divine rings, stood on the deck of the battleship.

 

The Deity was ancient and mysterious. It was a wonder which Spacetime he hailed from. He was surrounded by Divine Lights and was colossal.

 

There were also many residents of the Divine Empire on the ancient battleship. They were his most pious followers. Behind the Deity were stars and clouds which hovered in the Boundless Expanse. The sounds of Divinity spread across the place. The flourishing Divine Empire was surrounded by many Small Universes.

 

His followers were praying to provide him with the Power of Faith.

 

However, the black mist swept over all like a tide. Even the Divine Empire was affected as it was engulfed in it.

 

The Deity could not even take his Divine Empire away in time, nor was he willing to see it destroyed like this. After all, he had spent too much time, too much effort to build it. As such, he tried to stop the black mist from spreading.

 

Nevertheless, the moment he arrived, one part of Heaven and Earth seemed to have sunk into the depths of darkness. A massive hand covered in scales traversed across the Starry Sky and directly landed on him.

 

This Deity and the ancient battleship and Divine Empire behind him instantly fell apart. The barrier of Spacetime got destroyed. The black mist soon came and devoured everything.

 

The purest energy in Heaven and Earth was absorbed as it streamed towards the blood altars in the depths of the darkness.

 

All living beings who saw the sight felt a crawling sensation on their scalps. Their entire figures turned cold.

 

The terrifying black mist seemed to be coming from the end of Boundless Expanse. There was no end to it.

 

What was the Grand Ceremony about? Why did it happen now of all time? Were the remnants of the Black Disaster doing this to welcome the return of the being who had been sealed?
