"You're right, it's time to end this."

In the vast, endless starry sky, a familiar voice suddenly echoed, indifferent, calm, and tinged with a faint killing intent.

The Demon Lord's pupils flashed with astonishment and disbelief, along with a hint of barely perceptible fear, born from the depths of his heart, the dread of death.

His aura… he hadn't sensed it at all.

"Chen Yuan..."

The Demon Lord's query was tinged with a hint of certainty.

"It is I!"

In the silent starry sky, space began to distort, and a grand aura began to spread in all directions. From within the black hole, a young man in a black dragon robe slowly stepped out.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes like starry rivers, a world unto himself, the most dazzling existence in the entire starry sky, impossible to ignore, and more impossible to disregard.

"You... you've jumped out of the river of time..."

The Demon Lord murmured.

"What do you think?"

"How did you do it?"

The Demon Lord was silent for a long time, accepting the reality, but still filled with questions. How could Chen Yuan, by his own power, have retrieved his true self? After all, with the river of time suppressing the altar, it should have been useless.

"What do you think?"

"The altar?"

"That altar is indeed a great asset of mine, but not my only one. Without that altar, I... could still do it," Chen Yuan said solemnly.

"Heh heh heh... heh heh heh... Not bad, not bad, you are now qualified to be a friend of the Holy Race." From within the black hole, the Demon Lord's soft laughter echoed.

Chen Yuan neither affirmed nor denied the words, simply saying:

"Do you know someone named Zhang?"

"Zhang..." The Demon Lord pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and quickly asked,

"You've seen him?!"

"It seems you are indeed very familiar with him."

"Where did you see him?"

"Where is he?!"

The Demon Lord kept pressing, his emotions no longer as calm as before, becoming unusually agitated.

"Who... exactly is he?"

Chen Yuan asked solemnly.

"Who is he... he is the Holy Race's sworn enemy. If it weren't for him, my Holy Race would still be in the Immortal Realm. If it weren't for him... I wouldn't have suffered such injuries."

"What kind of person is he?"

"He... is a man who breaks his word, is faithless and unrighteous, and views all living beings as chess pieces. Has he given you some promise? Do not believe him, or else... you will die miserably in the future."

The Demon Lord seemed to understand something and kept speaking ill of that man, hoping to plant doubts in Chen Yuan's mind, knowing that he was a suspicious person.

"How strong is he?"

Chen Yuan remained unmoved, continuing to ask.

He trusted no one, at least not based on a few words.

"You and I join forces, and I will tell you everything, even revealing the secrets of the altar. You and I join forces, and together we kill our way back to the Immortal Realm, what do you say?" The Demon Lord changed the subject.

He began to reveal his purpose.

After realizing that Chen Yuan had broken through to the Immortal Realm, he knew that there was no longer any possibility of killing him. In fact, the biggest question now was whether Chen Yuan was willing to stop.

The initiative was no longer in his hands.

"Why should I join forces with you?"

"If you and I fight, we will only suffer mutual losses, allowing that man to reap the benefits."

"Just before, you wanted to kill me, and you wanted to destroy the realm and my clan. Now you're talking about joining forces, ha ha ha... do you think that's possible?" Chen Yuan's lips curled into a smile.

He seemed to be mocking the Demon Lord's wishful thinking.

"For existences like you and me, everything below immortality is an ant. How can that compare to benefits, how can that compare to immortality? You are new to immortality and know nothing about cultivation beyond that.

But my race has a million years of heritage and a deep foundation. You and I joining forces can make up for your weaknesses and foundation. Compared to these... are the previous grudges still important?"

"You make a good point."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"So..." The Demon Lord saw that he had moved Chen Yuan and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"So you still have to die."

"Why?!"

"For... greater strength." Chen Yuan looked at the aura of destiny surrounding the Demon Lord, his gaze calm.

He who carries the aura of destiny must be slain!

"Aren't you afraid of mutual destruction?"

"Before reaching immortality, you didn't dare to fight me head-on, you could only use the river of time to make me sink. Now that I have entered immortality, what qualifications do you have for mutual destruction?"

"You..."

"Be on your way, Demon Lord..."

"You'll regret believing that man's words in the future!"

"I... trust no one!"

......

......

"Heaven and Earth as one, suppressing the firmament, stars and rivers throughout the ages, all vying to be the strongest. Three realms unite, the origin of heaven is clear, through five declines and three tribulations, transcend to immortality!"

Deep within his consciousness, the Destiny Altar moved as before, once again offering Chen Yuan a guide to opportunity. This destiny came from all that the Demon Lord possessed.

The Demon Lord was indeed difficult to kill. To be precise, every immortal existence had almost reached the level of longevity. Their origins were indestructible and eternally immortal. Killing them was extremely difficult.

But Chen Yuan could.

Because the Demon Lord himself, as that man named Zhang had said, was seriously injured and his origin was weak. Therefore, although it took a long time, he still managed to wear him down.

Before his death, the Demon Lord, knowing that he could not turn the tide, changed his previous attitude and begged Chen Yuan to spare the Holy Race, to leave some heritage for the Holy Race as a price.

He was willing to give the Holy Race's heritage to Chen Yuan.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Yuan agreed.

And he made a great oath.

The Demon Lord also faced death calmly, but before his death, he reminded Chen Yuan again.

Zhang Jing cannot be trusted, only one's own strength is reliable.

"Zhang Jing, Great Yu Dynasty, Four Immortal Realms..." These were some of the things that the Demon Lord told Chen Yuan.

The Immortal Realm was not unique, but was divided into four great Immortal Realms, namely Eastern Saint, Western Yuan, Southern Li, and Northern Cold... The Extraterrestrial Demon Clan was one of the major forces in the Eastern Saint Immortal Realm.

The Great Yu Dynasty had risen later, and Zhang Jing had been a sensation. He had come from the lower realms and shook the Eastern Saint Immortal Realm with his first move. His cultivation was at the peak of immortality, half a step into the Immortal Emperor level.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. He did not believe either the Demon Lord's words or those of the so-called Emperor Yu Zhang Jing. He would not go to the Immortal Realm immediately.

Only when he felt that he had the power to protect himself would he go.

And his next step was to completely refine the Destiny Altar, subdue the Extraterrestrial Demons, and... find the next opportunity to advance his cultivation further.

He believed that with the help of the innate treasure Destiny Altar, his achievements would not be inferior to anyone in the future.

......

The moment the Demon Lord died, everyone in the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan sensed it. An unspeakable sadness and fear from the bottom of their hearts shrouded everyone's hearts.

The Demon Lord had been defeated.

The Holy Race had been defeated.

Everyone, including the Luo Tian Demon God and the Great Elder Nether Emperor, felt somewhat lost at this moment.

Leave?

Who could escape in the face of an Immortal Immortal King?

Stay?

Who could protect themselves in the face of an Immortal Immortal King?

This was an unsolvable problem.

"What should we do?"

The Luo Tian Demon God said solemnly.

"I don't know..."

Before the Great Elder Nether Emperor could finish speaking, suddenly, an unparalleled aura descended in the starry sky, covering millions of miles, enveloping all the humans and demons.

That aura was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Chen Yuan stepped on the starry river, stood in the heavens and earth, and looked down on all living beings, saying in a deep voice:

"Are you... willing to submit?"

"This..."

"If you are not willing, then be on your way."

"We are willing, we are willing..."

Luo Tian and the others did not dare to hesitate and quickly bowed.

They were afraid that Chen Yuan would be unhappy and send them on their way.

An immortal powerhouse could definitely do that.

Although, they were also very suspicious of how Chen Yuan's cultivation had suddenly soared. Shouldn't he be fighting to the death with the Demon Lord?

"The Heavenly Emperor is benevolent, we all submit!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is benevolent, we all submit!"

Under the leadership of the Luo Tian Demon God, all the demons bowed at this moment.

And the people of the Heavenly Court were overjoyed.

They kept shouting:

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Heavenly Court!"

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Heavenly Court!"

The boundless and mighty voices kept flowing in the starry sky, spreading in all directions.

Chen Yuan's eyes were calm, and he sighed a little.

This battle was finally over.

Some died, some were resurrected, some rose up against the odds, some laid out plans for thousands of years, but in the final analysis, everything originated from these extraterrestrial demons.

If it weren't for them, Martial Emperor would not have died.

If Martial Emperor had not died, Immortal Venerable Tai Hao would not have appeared.

If Immortal Venerable Tai Hao had not appeared, the Immortal Realm would not have been established.

If it were according to Chen Yuan's initial personality, he would definitely send all the extraterrestrial demons on their way and let them be buried with the dead, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

But now,

Perhaps it was because the hatred was not enough, perhaps it was because Chen Yuan's mind was becoming broader, or perhaps it was because of the pressure from the Immortal Realm. In short, Chen Yuan still agreed to the Demon Lord's conditions.

Because of one pardon, he would gain experience in cultivation in the immortal realm, learn about the distribution of power in the immortal realm, and gain a group of extraterrestrial demons with a million years of inheritance as servants.

His goal was always the stars and the sea, it was in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future.

"Return to the Heavenly Court!"

Chen Yuan waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

......

After returning to the Immortal Realm, Chen Yuan ordered people to count the casualties. Many had fallen in this battle. Most of the Emperors, Heavenly Masters, and Star Lords had been lost, which was a heavy loss.

But the only thing worth celebrating was.

As long as the souls of those who had fallen before had existed on the Conferred God Platform, with his ability to jump out of the river of time, he could, to a certain extent, gradually restore even the last trace of their origin.

In other words, the heavyweight figures who died in this battle still had hope of resurrection.

However, it would require a lot of resources.

But he was willing, and the Heavenly Court was willing.

Because it was their selfless sacrifice that gave him enough time in this battle.

Of course, they should also be glad.

The Demon Lord did not intervene in that battle, otherwise, with the power of an immortal powerhouse, he could completely trace back to the origin, kill people across the cause and effect, and wipe out all origins.

On the sixteenth day after the end of the war, the Heavenly Court held the Yaochi Festival, celebrating the victory.

All the powerhouses in the human immortal realm, except for the extraterrestrial demons, were invited to celebrate this great victory of the human race. It was foreseeable that in the limited thousands of years.

The Heavenly Court would no longer have foreign enemies invading, and a true prosperous age would come to the realm.

Chen Yuan's prestige had reached its peak.

On the twentieth day after the end of the war, with the supply of a large number of resources from the Heavenly Court and the human dynasty, the turmoil and losses caused before were gradually recovering.

Several emperors had gained something and their cultivation had improved further.

Moro broke through to Heavenly Immortal, and Jiang He was at the peak of Earth Immortal.

Everyone else had also gained something.

The Heavenly Court gradually united.

A year after the end of the Starry Sky War, the Great Yan Emperor Chen Sheng, accompanied by Empress Jiang Xue and several court officials, ascended to the Immortal Realm. His successor was Chen Sheng's eldest son, Chen Yue.

In just a few decades, the Great Yan experienced three emperors.

......

......

Heavenly Court, Hall of Universal Brightness.

Today it was empty, with no one except Chen Yuan, not even a guard, which seemed quite lonely. Chen Yuan, who was sitting at the head, said to himself with a calm gaze:

"Show yourself."

A word that seemed to be a soliloquy stirred up some ripples at this moment. In front of him, the void began to twist, and an indifferent aura gradually began to condense.

But this kind of coercion was like a breeze in front of Chen Yuan, and it had no effect at all.

A vertical eye condensed, staring at Chen Yuan.

Indifferent, calm, but if you observe carefully, you can find that deep in his eyes, there is still a trace of fear and dread.

"Tai Hao?"

"You... are... who..."

"It seems that it is as you said at the beginning. When you completely fall, you will form new memories, a new self... and, you can still exist constantly without thousands of years."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"You... are... who..."

The emotions conveyed by the Eye of Heaven were exactly the same as before.

"You can call me the Heavenly Emperor."

"Heavenly Emperor..."

"Not bad..."

"Your power... has destroyed... the balance... this world... is not suitable for you..."

"I am a world unto myself, how can I destroy the balance..."

"Why... call me here..."

"I am the Heavenly Emperor, and you are the Way of Heaven. If you break away from my control, it will be a disaster for the world..."

"I... will not..."

"I think you will, so you will..."

"You want to kill me..."

The Eye of Heaven continued to say.

"You are the Way of Heaven. Even if I destroy you, you will re-condense."

"What do you want to do..."

"Submit to me, submit to the Heavenly Court."

"I... am... the Way of Heaven..."

"I can seal you and establish another Way of Heaven..."

"The Way of Heaven... the Way of Heaven... is fair and impartial... and will not submit..."

Chen Yuan nodded and slowly raised his hand:

"If that's the case, then let's change the Way of Heaven."

"Wait..."

"Hmm?"

"You want... how... can I submit..."

"I will divide a trace of my divine sense and integrate it into the Way of Heaven."

"You want... to enslave the Way of Heaven..."

"I can change it."

"I can submit..."

"It wouldn't be so troublesome if you were quicker."

The Way of Heaven: "..."

Chen Yuan ignored him and instead raised his hand, a faint altar slowly emerged, exuding endless power, as if it could penetrate the future and peek into the past...

"Use your power to suppress it, I... want to completely refine it!"

"Yes... Your Majesty..."
