Chapter 1972: System Integration, Beyond Hunyuan [Finale] (Part 1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Standing in the heavenly realm, Jiang Chengxuan gazed out at the ever-shifting winds and clouds, the myriad transformations of Dao laws unfolding before him.
He watched the endless scenes manifesting within the chaotic flow of time—ceaseless battles and sacrifices—and was momentarily speechless.
“Rumble—rumble—!”
Suddenly, a growing roar echoed through the interwoven void of myriad laws.
Jiang Chengxuan sharply noticed that a nearby chaotic temporal-spatial anomaly began to warp and twist.
Vast nebulae were severed inch by inch, as if some force was tearing them apart!
Then they started collapsing; deep celestial rifts cracked open, with shattered nebulae and countless stars extinguishing.
Space ruptured, and boundless heavenly light surged forth, sweeping through the entire void.
From within came a terrifying aura, ancient and vast, brimming with world-ending intent, causing Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes to narrow sharply.
Soon, the chaotic galaxy replaying countless temporal-spatial anomalies exploded completely.
Amid the massive shockwave, a group of figures abruptly appeared within the chaos.
Each burned with terrifying power, like stars arrayed to form the heavens themselves.
Enormous Hunyuan power enveloped the void, making all laws blaze with extreme brilliance.
Opposite them, a suffocating ominous aura dwelled in the void, forming a strange, unpredictable domain.
Many sinister shadows lurked there, watching intently.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately understood—these two forces were undoubtedly the ominous races and the last protectors of the ancient realm.
“You have already lost. If you do not wish to die, submit to us. That is your only way to live!”
Yet the situation was dire. A powerful being among the ominous races shouted thunderously.
Jiang Chengxuan’s pupils contracted sharply. It seemed… he had already arrived too late! The heavens had already fallen!
“We will never surrender—only death awaits!”
But that last group of protectors refused to give up.
Facing the ominous races’ persuasion, they grew enraged, undeterred, ready to die honorably and fight on.
This scene shocked Jiang Chengxuan. For some reason, it felt strangely familiar, as if he had seen it before.
“Then die, if that is your choice!”
In an instant, battle was about to erupt again.
The dark turmoil held by the ominous races stirred restlessly.
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan could no longer hold back.
He stepped into the void, his aura radiating as he charged directly beside the protectors and loudly declared,
“I am here to aid you!”
Immediately, the group was shocked, as if struck by lightning, frozen in place.
Even the large mass of sinister shadows trembled violently, causing a great uproar.
One stone cast into a pond stirred countless waves.
Jiang Chengxuan’s arrival brought an incredibly strange atmosphere, intimidating everyone present.
“Hm?”
This reaction puzzled Jiang Chengxuan himself. Even if his appearance surprised people, it shouldn’t have been like this, right?
“He’s back! Immortal Emperor, you’ve finally returned!”
“Hahaha! I knew you wouldn’t remain silent so easily!”
“How could those old ghosts hold you down?”
“The Immortal Emperor lives! We still have hope to fight!”
Even more strangely, not only did the ominous races react, but behind Jiang Chengxuan, a group of immortals erupted in madness, their momentum shaking the heavens.
But this was no act. Jiang Chengxuan saw each figure overwhelmed with joy, smiling through tears, trembling, eyes moist.
Such expressions could never be faked—they were genuine beyond doubt.
However, where was the Immortal Emperor they spoke of?
Presumably, it was the supreme being that the Huotian Immortal had long followed.
Jiang Chengxuan wished to meet this figure someday.
For a moment, the heavens fell silent. The furious battles ceased; time froze.
Only Jiang Chengxuan remained calm, looking around awkwardly, feeling out of place and strange.
“Immortal Emperor, what are you doing?”
Only when someone approached from behind and called out did Jiang Chengxuan startle, inwardly gasping, his spine chilled!
It turned out all these countless gazes were focused on him.
That so-called Immortal Emperor was referring to him—calling him the Immortal Emperor!
“Rumble—rumble!!”
Suddenly, thunder exploded in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind, electricity crawling through his brain.
His consciousness seemed to open, forming a whirlpool within, from which a certain mysterious force continuously poured forth!
Countless images flickered past his mind like a whirlwind—millions of times in an instant!
He remembered it all! Everything returned to him!
A million years of memories awakened, as if he had just woken from a great dream, feeling like a man reborn in a new world!
It turned out, he truly was the Immortal Emperor! But not only that—he was also Jiang Chengxuan!
“So that’s how it is…”
“Brothers, you’ve waited long enough! Hahaha!”
Frozen for a moment, Jiang Chengxuan murmured softly, his eyes filled with endless melancholy, as if he saw through eternity.
After a while, he turned around and laughed heartily, addressing the group of immortals.
“You guys! What’s with all the theatrics?”
“Hmph, you made us worry for nothing, wandering all this time—was it worth it?”
“Hahaha! Welcome back, Immortal Emperor! Welcome back!!”
“Heh, good to have you back!”
Each face could barely contain their smiles—some proud, some relieved, others ecstatic.
And now Jiang Chengxuan felt deeply familiar with them. For hundreds of thousands of years, they had lived and died together!
“You actually didn’t die? Or rather, you came back to life?”
At that moment, someone among the ominous races spoke gravely, no longer arrogant.
