In the sky above the ancestral court, the celestial heavens suppressed the destiny of the ancestral court. Not long after the battle of Xuandu ended, Celestial Venerable Hong was dead, and Celestial Venerable Xiao was exiled. Only Celestial Venerable Xu was left to guard the celestial heavens.

However, Celestial Venerable Xu didn't stay in the celestial heavens. Instead, he stood on the surface of the sea and stared at it. The surface of the sea was like a mirror, reflecting the battle situation in Xuandu.

Only when the battle in Xuandu was over did Celestial Venerable Xu shift his gaze away and return to the celestial heavens.

Before she could reach the celestial heavens, she heard a commotion in the celestial heavens. Countless celestial soldiers and generals guarding the celestial heavens were searching everywhere. Celestial Venerable Xu went forward to ask, and the god official hurriedly reported, "Bad news, the celestial heavens have been robbed, and a thief has come!"

Celestial Venerable Xu hurriedly asked, "What is missing?"

"Someone broke into Jade Capital City and entered the chambers of concubines to steal treasures!"

Celestial Venerable Xu's heart trembled. 'Could Celestial Venerable Mu have come to steal Celestial Emperor's eggshell?'

The god official continued, "…We stole a shrine! When we were patrolling, we discovered that the Hall of Fragrance had vanished!"

Celestial Venerable Xu only let out a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn't Qin Mu who had come to steal Celestial Emperor's eggshell. His heart tightened when he heard that the Hall of Fragrance had been stolen, and he thought to himself, 'The Hall of Fragrance has been stolen! This Hall of Fragrance is said to be the place that suppresses the souls of many remarkable gods and devils. Celestial Venerable Hao and the rest are very secretive about this hall, and they didn't mention the thing that was suppressed inside to me. They only asked me to add the seal. Celestial Venerable Huo even used this hall to take away South Deity's soul, making it impossible for Celestial Venerable Mu to revive South Deity and break his reputation as the Invincible Great Wizard. Could it have been stolen by Celestial Venerable Mu?'

She was also slightly suspicious. Qin Mu had participated in the battle of Xuandu, so no matter how fast he was, he couldn't have run to the celestial heavens to steal the treasures so quickly.

Furthermore, if Qin Mu had come to steal the treasure, he must have gone to the birth altar of Celestial Emperor Tai Chu to steal the eggshell.

Yet this thief didn't take Celestial Emperor's eggshell but stole the Hall of Fragrance. It was truly strange.

She didn't know that there was a shortcut between Xuandu and the Primordial Realm, the Heavenly Yin World. If she passed through the Heavenly Yin World, she could quickly return to the Primordial Realm from Xuandu. If she set off from the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, she could reach the Ancestral Court's celestial heavens in the shortest time possible.

The Hall of Fragrance didn't have much to do with her, so Celestial Venerable Xu wasn't nervous. He ordered the Divine Constable Camp to search more closely and said, "The Hall of Fragrance is extremely huge. If it suddenly disappears and you guys sense it, he definitely won't be able to leave in time. He must have used the Dao of Transformation to hide in the celestial heavens. As long as he doesn't leave the celestial heavens, there's no need to worry about him escaping. I have a soul summoning mirror here. No matter how he transforms, I can use this mirror to reveal his true form!"

The Divine Constable Camp received the Soul Summoning Mirror and searched around.

Celestial Venerable Xu sat down and thought to himself, 'They stayed in Xuandu to split the benefits, but they didn't have a share of mine… That's right, the celestial heavens created a ruckus and stole the Hall of Fragrance, so why don't I also become a thief?'

She walked towards the chambers of concubines and headed straight for the sacrificial altar where Celestial Emperor was born.

'After I get my hands on this Grand Primordium Egg, I can claim that it was stolen by the thief in the Hall of Fragrance. With such a treasure in hand, it's not inferior to the benefits of Xuandu!'

She went to steal the other half of the eggshell, and when she came to the sacrificial altar where Celestial Emperor was born, Celestial Venerable Xu looked over. Suddenly, her hands and feet turned cold, and the sacrificial altar was also empty!

The other half of the egg shell had also disappeared!

"Who dares to steal my treasure!" Celestial Venerable Xu was furious.

In the celestial heavens, there was a person that transformed continuously. Sometimes, he transformed into a bird beast, sometimes into a worm fish. At the corner of the wall, there was a stalk of tender grass, and at the corner of the garden, there was a flower tree. It was ever-changing as it headed out of the celestial heavens.

The Divine Constable Camp activated the Soul Summoning Mirror and shone in all directions. Suddenly, the mirror lost control and floated in the sky with a whoosh. The light from the mirror shone brightly and covered an extremely wide area. With a hum, the entire Jade Capital City was shrouded in the light!

Celestial Venerable Xu was full of murderous intent. He stood on top of the Soul Summoning Mirror and looked at the mirror, examining the scenery in the Jade Capital City.

As long as someone executed a transformation technique, they would all turn back into their original forms when they were shone by her mirror light!

There were quite a number of gods and devils in the celestial heavens that had become gods. There were a lot of demon cultivators and devil cultivators, and they usually had sinister appearances which made them look better. Now that they were reflected in the mirror, they all revealed their true bodies. The Jade Capital City was truly filled with demons and devils!

In Celestial Emperor's chambers of concubines, there were many beautiful concubines and palace maids. Some of them were bathing, while some of them were lonely in the spring palace, having an affair with Celestial God. When they were shone on by the mirror, they were instantly thrown into chaos.

Cold sweat broke out on Celestial Venerable Xu's forehead. The celestial heavens was usually sacred and incomparably solemn, but with her shining, all kinds of darkness emerged, making it hard to clean up.

There was too much chaos here, and even she couldn't tell which one was the thief that had stolen Celestial Emperor's eggshell and Hall of Fragrance.

At this moment, a youth had already jumped into the celestial river and transformed into a huge kun that leisurely dived into the water and swam out of the celestial heavens.

When they came to the Southern Heavenly Gate, the huge kun leaped over it. The gods guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate raised their heads and saw this sight, and they all cried out in admiration.

The big kun landed in the celestial river and created a huge splash. When it sank into the water, it transformed back into a fish dragon and vanished.

After swimming for an unknown distance, the fish dragon transformed into a huge crab of the celestial river and ran amok all the way up to the riverbank. The huge crab shook the water on its body and transformed into a youth. He let out a long sigh of relief and took out a shrine to take a look. He revealed a look of delight and hurriedly put it back into his taotie sack before rushing forward.

This youth's speed was extremely fast, and he moved far away from the celestial heavens. He planned to travel in the opposite direction of the celestial river and sprint towards the sea.

The celestial river rose from the sea, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly felt the sky becoming hotter.

He hurriedly raised his head and saw a tall and majestic Celestial Venerable standing in front of him. The Dao fire behind his head was like a wheel, and his expression was one of sorrow and joy as his gaze landed on him.

"Fire?"

The youth's gaze met Celestial Venerable Huo's, and he was slightly stunned. He then smiled and said, "Celestial Venerable Huo, is that you?"

The muscles at the corners of Celestial Venerable Huo's eyes twitched, and he looked at the youth in a daze. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Celestial Venerable Yu, Big Brother, you really came back to life."

His body couldn't help but shrink, and he seemed to become Celestial Venerable Huo who was on the Jade Pool. He stared blankly at the elder brother that he admired.

That youth was Lan Yutian, and when he saw him, his spirit couldn't help being roused. His gaze was gentle, and his magnificence was unmatched. He smiled and said, "I'm back. Celestial Venerable Huo, I stole my broken soul, and I'm back to the previous me!"

He was in high spirits, and he said with a smile, "I didn't expect that we would be able to meet again after a million years! In this world, half-gods are still in charge, and half-gods are in charge. What's the difference between them and the ancient gods? We humans are just their food!"

His gaze was fervent, and he seemed to be reliving the powerful influence of Celestial Venerable Yu on the Jade Pool from back then. His bearing was also outstanding, yet he gave people a feeling of intimacy, the temperament of a natural leader!

"Celestial Venerable Huo, I need you!"

Lan Yutian stretched out his hand and spoke with great sincerity, "Come, let's do it together! For the sake of the human race, let's overthrow this rotten world together!"

Celestial Venerable Huo didn't extend his hand, and the blazing fire in his eyes gradually dimmed. He said softly, "Big Brother Lan, the person I respected the most in the past was you. You are the leader of the human race, the big brother of all the Celestial Venerables. As the leader, no one is unconvinced by you. We are all willing to follow you and fight with you, even risking our lives."

Lan Yutian didn't retract his hand and continued to wait for his reply.

Celestial Venerable Huo choked and said, "When you died, I swore a venomous oath that I would definitely take revenge for you and make the murderer who killed you pay with blood! However, Big Brother, your ideals are too unreal, too ephemeral, too idealistic! What you want to achieve will never come true! You will only be killed!"

His voice became louder, and the flaming wheels behind his head spun faster, raising up the overflowing water of the celestial river and vaporizing the water vapor, turning it into dense fog that pervaded the celestial river.

Lan Yutian frowned slightly and said, "Fire, as long as we work together, as long as we humans work together, there's nothing we can't do…"

"No! I can't!"

Celestial Venerable Huo said loudly, "Humans are naturally inferior to other races, and they will never be able to stand up! Humans can't rely on their own power. Humans can only rely on half-gods and rely on them to survive in this cruel world!"

"Only my path is the correct path! The human race now is countless times better than when you were the leader! Stop resisting the celestial heavens!"

His expression was almost crazed as he roared at Lan Yutian, "Stop using your ideals to frame the human race! You will only be killed once again! The human race will fall into disaster again because of you, because of a person like you!"

He clenched his fists tightly and said sternly, "Strength, the truth of this world, the Great Dao of this world, there's only power! Humans don't have power, so they have to rely on it!"

"You've changed," Lan Yutian said calmly.

"I haven't changed!"

Celestial Venerable Huo roared, but he gradually calmed down. He chuckled and said, "I have never changed. I just learned to be smarter. Brother, you are the person I respect the most. Give up on your ideals and come to my side. I will protect you well. In the future, I will also kill your enemies."

Lan Yutian took a step forward and walked past him. He shook his head and said, "Those who walk different paths cannot work together. Celestial Venerable Huo, from today onwards, you don't have to call me elder brother. You don't have to avenge me…"

A palm pierced through his back and out of his chest. The five fingers of the palm gripped his heart tightly.

This hand was trembling, and Celestial Venerable Huo behind him was also trembling. Lan Yutian revealed a look of disbelief. When he turned back, he saw that Celestial Venerable Huo's face was covered in tears. The tears and the water vapor from the celestial river were vaporized by the heat from his body.

"Brother, you are already dead, you are already dead, right? Why are you still alive? Isn't it good that you are dead?"

Celestial Venerable Huo stuck close to Lan Yutian's ear and panted heavily. His face was distorted, and he chuckled. "If you die, you will still be that perfect elder brother in my heart, the perfect elder brother. If you come back to life, it will only make things difficult for me. I won't know what to do with you… You should just die. You should just turn into ashes or maintain your perfect image in my heart…"

His palm gradually exerted force and crushed Lan Yutian's heart. The Dao fire started to swallow Lan Yutian's body.

"You should understand me, right?"

Celestial Venerable Huo's face became even more distorted as he panted heavily. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I will take revenge for you. I will. If you have a spirit in heaven… No, Celestial Venerable Mu will summon your soul again. I can't let you have a spirit in heaven!"

He searched Lan Yutian's corpse. "Where's the Hall of Fragrance? Quickly take out the Hall of Fragrance! Seal you in the Hall of Fragrance. This way, he won't be able to revive you. Hall of Fragrance…"

He found the Hall of Fragrance in the burning taotie sack, and it was currently burning.

Celestial Venerable Huo was stunned. The Hall of Fragrance was the hall that was formed by gathering the strongest power of gods, so it was impossible for his Dao fire to ignite it.

He looked at Lan Yutian's corpse. The flesh and blood of the corpse had been burned to ashes, but the ashes had also dispersed, leaving nothing behind.

"Spiritual Sense Illusion!"

The muscles on Celestial Venerable Huo's face twitched, and the fire wind blew away the fog on the celestial river.

At this moment, he saw Lan Yutian standing on the river in the distance. Beside him was Qin Mu, and beside him was Divine King Lang.

On the celestial river, the wind howled, but no one spoke for a long time.

Divine King Lang broke the silence and said softly, "Celestial Venerable Mu, I have done what you asked me to do. Are you satisfied?"

"Very satisfied."

Qin Mu said indifferently, "I can give up now. Celestial Venerable Yu, what about you?"

Lan Yutian shook his head. "Brother, there's no Celestial Venerable Yu here."
