Long Chen took a deep breath, preparing himself for what lay beyond the door.

He placed his hand on the door and pushed it. Unfortunately, the door didn’t move even a single inch, as if it was sealed.

“Let me handle it.” In that moment, the Demon Ancestor became the leading personality. As his fingers remained on the door, strange patterns appeared all around the door.

Following the appearance of such strange patterns, the golden shine on the door slowly became darker, as if the divine energy of the door was getting corrupted. Before long, the Majestic Door had completely darkened, becoming pitch black like the darkest of night.

As all the holy energy of the door was corrupted, the seal also completely broke.

With the seal gone, he pushed the door open slowly, revealing a beautiful garden on the other side. The garden was filled with rare flowers and ancient herbs that were millions of years old.

Just the aura in the garden alone was so strong that made Long Chen feel like he had entered a completely different world.

Heaven was already filled with the purest of Divine aura but this garden was even more divine and majestic than anything. It was like this place was the true core of heaven.

The fragrance of the flowers permeated the air, rejuvenating his senses and filling him with a profound sense of peace and tranquility that temporarily distracted him. However, he quickly regained his focus, gazing at the center of the garden b

In the center, there was a clear area where a single round table was placed. On one side of the table, a golden haired man was sitting, brimming with a heavenly aura that was no weaker than the Demonic Emperor in intensity. He was the overlord of heaven.

He was the person who was behind all the Heavenly Calamity that prevented many from achieving immortality. He was the person who enforced Heavenly Laws… The true master of Heaven.

However, there was another person sitting on the other side of the table. For the other person to be sitting on the same footing as the Heavenly Emperor, it was evident that the person didn’t have an easy identity.

Unfortunately, the other person had worn a mask that hid his face. Only his blood red eyes were visible through the mask. It was unclear if the person was even a Beast or something else.

Only one thing was certain. It was that his aura was very distinct. It wasn’t pure, but it wasn’t completely beastly or demonic either. Instead, it was something in between all of them.

As the person glanced at Long Chen, his eyes showed a very peculiar interest.

“Finally, you’ve arrived,” a deep voice echoed through the room. The Heavenly Emperor commented, glancing at Long Chen. It was as if he was expecting this arrival.

Long Chen faced the man who had caused so much suffering for many. To fulfill his end of the deal, he had to kill this man. To have revenge for his master, he had to kill this man. For his future, he had to kill the Heavenly Emperor and become the greatest sinner in this world.

He had thought that when he would be before the Heavenly Lord, he’d feel overwhelmed or suppressed; however, he felt a strange sense of calm. Perhaps it was the presence of the Demonic Ancestor beside him, or maybe it was the lack of killing intent of the Heavenly Emperor. He wasn’t clear.

“You must be Long Chen,” the Heavenly Emperor said, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and arrogance. “I’ve heard so much about you. The one for whom the Black Tortoise Clan Heir destroyed an entire heavenly prison. The person for whom the leader of the Godly Beast Clan himself came down to stop me.”

“And more importantly, the person for whom…” the Heavenly Emperor glanced at the masked man next to him, but didn’t finish his sentence.

“You’re quite in demand, you know?” The Heavenly Emperor asked while laughing.

Long Chen remained silent, his gaze locked with the Heavenly Emperor’s. Despite the calm exterior, a storm of emotions raged within him. Something didn’t feel right.

He had killed so many Warriors from Heaven on his way here. But the Heavenly Emperor didn’t show a shred of anger. It was all very strange. Instead, he seemed strangely welcoming like a senior talking to a junior.

“You seem to be lost in some thoughts. Are you wondering why I don’t just kill you right now for what you did on the way here?” The Heavenly Emperor asked, seeing through Long Chen’s thoughts.

Throughout the time, the Demonic Ancestor hadn’t done anything. He didn’t even reveal his presence as if waiting to see what the Heavenly Emperor had in mind.

“The answer is simple,” the Heavenly Emperor further stated. “It’s because you’re already dead. And I don’t want to kill someone who’s already dead. Someone else owns that life of yours, so I will let you be.”

“And who is the one that owns my life?” Long Chen asked, frowning. It felt even more like a trap as more time passed.

He turned to the masked man sitting on the other side. However, at the same time, Long Chen felt even more strange auras all around.

The door closed on its own, returning to its usual golden hue. However, before the door, one more person was standing now.

It was a young woman. Her flaming red hair came down to her waist. She had bright emerald green eyes that seemed to hold a mixture of experience and wisdom.

Seeing the woman, Long Chen’s expressions darkened. It was the Rainbow Phoenix. Although some of her gestures were different now, he could never mistake her for anyone else.

The other Godly Beasts also appeared around the garden, making their presence known one after another.

Other than the Godly Beasts that Long Chen had killed, every other Star God Beast was here. However even then, Long Chen felt the worst about the masked person who hadn’t moved at all.

“So it was indeed a trap,” Long Chen muttered under his breath, talking to the Demonic Ancestor. “And that’s why I shouldn’t have listened to an old ghost.”

Long Chen took a deep breath, preparing himself for what lay beyond the door.

He placed his hand on the door and pushed it. Unfortunately, the door didn’t move even a single inch, as if it was sealed.
