Gate of God

“You…” His Majesty Lin Mubai’s face changed after hearing Nangong Tian’s words.

This was because, as what Nangong Tian said, Emperor Taizu of the Great Xia Dynasty indeed left behind a will, and majority of the content was regarding their relationship with the Nangong Nobles.

However, the content in the will stated that the emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty must treat the Nobles kindly, and they could never kill the Nobles of the Nangong Nobles.

“So? Speechless?” Nangong Tian laughed coldly.

“If I told you that the will mentioned about Nangong Nobles, but was about how I should treat the Nangong Nobles kindly and provide the best help I could, would you believe?” His Majesty Lin Mubai exuded a powerful and majestic aura.

“Hahaha… That only shows that Emperor Taizu was smart. He knew that he would not become enemies with the family of Emperor Yan, hence he hoped to use the chance to recruit us. However, he did not know that the family of Emperor Yan would never betray?” Nangong Tian laughed again.

“Nangong Tian, you…” His Majesty Lin Mubai’s lips twitched. He wanted to say something but no words were heard. Instead, his face instantaneously turned ugly.

Because he knew that Nangong Tian was overwhelmed with intense hatred and no sense of kindness would touch him. Emperor Taizu’s hopes of reconciling with the Nangong Nobles could only be a impossible dream.

Nevertheless, this incident had happened too long ago, so long tht he could not even remember how many successions of emperors had taken place. Nobody could even remember that there was such a story between Emperor Lin of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Nangong Nobles.

“The family of Emperor Yan have done our best to prevent the natural disaster from hitting us, yet, what did we get in return?” Nangong Tian was evidently agitated as he said, “It was just a historical record that stated the achievements accomplished by Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang. However, despite being history, the family of Emperor Huang insists on removing the achievements of the family of Emperor Yan, leaving no trace of records for the descendants! Were they guilty?”

Towards the end, Nangong Tian exuded a powerful aura, the symbol on his forehead which represented the Sage State was extraordinarily eye-catching.

Meanwhile, the various disciples remained silent, as they were completely clueless about who wa right or wrong.

Who could tell if it was the truth for something that happened thousands of years ago?

Even if they assumed that Nangong Tian was telling the truth, it was only one side of th story. As the descendants of Yan Huang, they did not dare to comment on their ancestors’ story.

However, they need to be concerned with one thing: What does the Nangong Nobles want, and how to resolve the grudges between the two families?

“Alright, if the family of Emperor Huang do not want to do it, then let us, the family of Emperor Yan do it. Door of the Realm of God shall be opened by us. We will welcome back the most powerful fighters of the family of Emperor Yan!” Nangong Tian’s expressions turned wild after hearing the silence.

”To open the Door of the Realm of God?”

“Welcoming back the most powerful fighters of the family of Emperor Yan…”

“The most powerful fighters from thousands of years ago?! The family of Emperor Yan!”

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the various sects and the disciples of the Holy Region finally understood what Nangong Tian wanted to achieve. He wanted to use the three realms that were connected by the Tree of God to open the Gate of God that was once sealed.

However, that was the Gate of God that was sealed with natural disaster!

Once the Gate of God is opened, the natural disaster that struck thousands of years ago would hit the world again?

Nobody knew the answer. However, that was not impossible. After all, Nangong Tian’s words could only represent the Nangong Nobles. The truth behind how the family of Emperor Huang was unwilling to reopen the Gate of God to welcome back the most powerful fighters had long been covered by history.

“No, the Door of the Realm of God cannot be opened!” Mu Qingfeng was extremely anxious at this point in time.

However, it was too late.

As Nangong Tian was narrating the history of the families, three huge cracks had appeared on the top of the Tree of God as well as above Nangong Hao’s head.

Those were cracks belonging to three different regions. From the cracks, one could see the different lights emitted — gold, green and black respectively.

At this moment, Nangong Hao moved. Following the raising of his left hand, a beam of light shot through the sky, fusing instantly with the golden light above his head.

It was a giant ancient Green Rock Door.

However, after the giant ancient Green Rock Door fused with the golden light, streams of bright golden patterns flowed on the green rocks.

A magnificent aura descended from the sky.

Simple yet filled with holiness, the cloud patterns that were carved on the rock door began to flow rapidly, as though as they came alive.

“It is the Heaven-Receiving Door!”

“Why is the Heaven-Receiving Door in our Heaven Dao Pavilion… in Nangong Hao’s hands?”

“Unless Nangong Hao killed the guards of the Heaven-Receiving Door?”

Staring at the giant rock door in the sky, extreme astonishment could be seen on the faces of the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

All of them had seen the rock door before. Furthermore, this rock door ought to be in the Heaven Academic Altar of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

“Heaven-Receiving Door? No, this is the Door of the Realm of God! The so-called Heaven-Receiving Door was a ‘legend’ deliberately left behind by the ancestors of the Nangong Nobles. In order to reseize the Door of the Realm of God from the family of Emperor Huang, generations after generations, the ancestors of Nangong Nobles spent so much efforts to rewrite the historical records, in order for the descendants of Emperor Huang to only recognise the ‘Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven’ while neglecting the presence of the Door of the Realm of God. Because of that, our ancestors were able to reseize the Door of the Realm of God during the great war between the Yan and Huang!”

After hearing what the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion said, Nangong Tian shook his head while smiling coldly, exuding an extreme sense of pride underneath his wild expressions.

“Rewrote the history?!”

“Reseize the Door of the Realm of God…”

All of the disciples from the various sects and the disciples of the Holy Region were the world’s elites and naturally understood what Nangong Tian meant.

If they guessed correctly, prior to the death of Mother Earth, she had handed over the seeds of the Door of the Realm of God and that of the Tree of God to the Huang and Yan race respectively.

However, as time past, due to the rewriting of history by the family of Emperor Yan to hide the existence of the Door of the Realm of God, the descendants of Emperor Huang gradually lost their understanding of the Door of the Realm of God. As a result, after the great war, the Door of the Realm of God landed in the hands of the family of Emperor Yan.

However…

Why are there three “Door of the Realm of God”?!

Wait a minute!

Three?!

The disciples realized something was amiss. After the appearance of the stone door above Nangong Hao’s head, two identical giant doors also appeared in the two other cracks. The only difference was…

The other two stone doors were made using different construction materials. One of which was completely made using black metal, while the other was made of bronze patina and had marks of bronze.

Most importantly, regardless of the different doors, all of them exuded the same magnificent aura.

What was going on?

This scene was strange and somewhat ridiculous.

Not only were the disciples unable to understand, but even Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi were taken aback by the scene.

“Could… Could this two be…” Nangong Tian was also stunned, his expression froze as he stared at the black and bronze doors. He was evidently surprised by the scene too.

Of course, as a “bystander”, Fang Zhengzhi was extremely excited when he witnessed the appearance of the two doors.

That was because he realized…

The door made of bronze was almost identical to the Near-Life Gate on his body.

“What? Nangong Hao had stolen my Near-Life Gate? Wait, but it is still here?!” Fang Zhengzhi was about to criticize Nangong Hao for being a thief, but he realized that the Near-Life Gate was still with him.

Then what was the explanation behind the bronze door?

The twin of the Near-Life Gate?

While deep in thought, Fang Zhengzhi saw the figure underneath the black cloak, which had been beside Yun Qingwu all this while, move.

It was not a big movement. He merely took a step forward.

However, this step blocked Yun Qingwu completely, as though he changed roles with Yun Qingwu, changing from a “servant” to the “master”.

Meanwhile, the cloak on his head fell slowly, exposing a lady with fine and beautiful facial features with a ball of white fluff on her hair.

Fang Zhengzhi had seen many beautiful ladies with exquisite makeup in his past life. In this world, due to the nourishment of the water and soil, there were also many beautiful ladies.

However, the lady standing in front of him had features so beautiful such that even Chi Guyan and Yun Qingwu could barely win.

Nonetheless, as compared to Chi Guyan’s arrogance and Yun Qingwu’s coldness, the lady standing in front of him exuded an alluring aura.

Elegant, graceful, yet alluring.

Describing the same lady with these three adjectives was simply not suitable, but Fang Zhengzhi could only think of those.

“What an approachable alluring lady!” This strange phrase flashed across Fang Zhengzhi’s mind. As compared to arrogance and coldness, being alluring made her more approachable.

However, the lady looked very similar to Yun Qingwu, except slightly more mature. Could she be Yun Qingwu’s older sister?

At this point in time, Fang Zhengzhi heard two shocked gasps.

“Baizhi!”

“Monster Emperor Baizhi!”

It was none other than Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi.

Fang Zhengzhi was not sure why Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi bothered to notice the lady beneath, but he was sure that they made the comments.

Then, Fang Zhengzhi felt that his three views (Tl note: Three views comprises of: world view, philosophy and life values) were twisted.

Monster Emperor?!

That means the lady standing in front of him was a century-old monster?

“…” Fang Zhengzhi wanted to say, a century-old monster should just stay put at home instead of going out to act young.

Of course, that was merely Fang Zhengzhi’s thoughts.

On the other hand, for the surrounding disciples, the term Monster Emperor Baizhi did not only mean a century-old monster.

That was because they were very certain that the presence of Monster Emperor Baizhi was the reason behind why the monster race could not be destroyed by the Five Sects of the Holy Region.

Mu Qingfeng, one of the most powerful in the Holy Region.

Mo Shanshi, similarly, one of the most powerful in the Holy Region.

However, both Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi only dare to call themselves as one of the most powerful. None of them dared to claim to be the most powerful.

The reason being…

In the depths of the Great Swamp, there was a palace in which a lady, the beast of the Monster race, Nine-Tailed White Fox, stayed.

And this Nine-Tailed White Fox was none other than Baizhi!

“Monster Emperor Baizhi!”

“So, this is the Nine-Tailed White Fox, the legendary beast of the Monster race, the most powerful of the Holy Region?!”

“Beautiful, too beautiful… Everyone said that Monster Emperor Baizhi was extraordinarily beautiful. Seeing her in real life, she is even more beautiful than in the legends!”

The disciples were evidently stunned. They felt attracted by a mysterious power just by a glance at Monster Emperor Baizhi.

“Monster Emperor Baizhi? Three doors… Oh no!” Unlike the rest, Nangong Tian trembled when he saw Monster Emperor Baizhi.

Then, he became extremely nervous, even more anxious than before.

“What will happen?!” Yan Yin’s voice could be heard. As one of the most powerful in the Holy Region, he knew how terrifying Monster Emperor Baizhi was.

Nevertheless, Nangong Tian’s hidden powers were too deep. Nobody could take down Nangong Tian in a short period of time.

“I don’t know, but I know that we must stop her! The two doors… are not the Doors of the Realm of God!” Nangong Tian sounded panicky.

“Not the Doors of the Realm of God?!” Yan Yin’s attention was drawn towards the two other doors in the sky. The ancient aura that the doors exuded made him feel that something extremely ominous was about to happen.

Furthermore, this ominous feeling was much more stronger than before, as though a knife had stabbed him on his back.
