War God Zhen looked at the ring in his hand. It was the same ring that Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu had given him to pass onto Xu Liang before he died. He hadn't passed the ring onto Xu Liang.

"Too bad I can't open the ring yet. I tried every possible way I could think of, but it's impossible. Only someone from his bloodline can open it. Xu Ming or Yue are the only ones. Too bad that Xu Ming escaped with Yue." ​​

He said as he looked at the ring.

" This ring could have come in so handy to strengthen the realm. " He sighed in disappointment.

" Don't you mean to strengthen you? " Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin said in a sarcastic tone.

"Aren't they both the same thing? Don't you know Wen Yin? I am the ruler of the Heavenly Realm from now on. My strength is my kingdom's strength." He said as a smile formed on his face.

" You might call yourself the ruler, but you aren't one yet. The heir to the throne is still out there. The last survivor of the Royal Bloodline. "

" What royal bloodline? His bloodline has been contaminated by that demon. Xu Ming is now a demon spawn, not a member of the Royal Bloodline. He is a demon and he shall be treated as a demon. "

" Why didn't you tell everyone that he was a demon then? Why did you lie that they were all dead? "

" Lying was much simpler and this lie helped in maintaining the royal dignity. Even if His Majesty adopted a demon, I can't let his legacy be destroyed. "

" Are you sure that it's the only thing you were worried about?" Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin said with a smirk.

War God Zhen didn't reply and simply left.

He walked through the long corridors of the Royal palace and stopped in front of a heavily guarded room. A barrier was clearly visible in front of the door that was closed.

There were more than 20 guards standing there guarding the room.

"Your Majesty!" The guards bowed down in respect as soon as they saw War God Zhen.

War God Zhen simply nodded his head in affirmation. He passed the barrier without any trouble and entered the room.

He closed the door behind him.

"How are you feeling?" He said in a casual tone.

There was a person sitting in front of him. It was a man who looked like he was in his 40s. He looked quite haggard at the moment, but the glimpse of his previous glory was still visible in his worn-out face.

His hands were tied in magical chains that prevented him from being able to use his cultivation. Although he was known as one of the strongest warriors, he was not much stronger than an ordinary mortal at the moment.

The man heard the footsteps and raised his eyes to see who had come to see this

" You bastard, what are you planning! Why have you trapped me? Have a fair fight with me and then you'll see how I kill you! " The man reacted wildly as his tired eyes turned red in anger.

"Why would I do that? I'm well aware of my weaknesses. I know that I'm nothing in front of the great Illustrious Emperor. " War God Zhen replied.

" Even if Xu Liang was a demon, I must thank him for leaving you half dead. Without his help, I never would have captured you...The criminal of the throne. "He continued.

" Stop pretending to be so big! You're nothing but a dog! You were a dog of my brother. Do you really think that I would beg you for forgiveness? Just kill me!" The Illustrious Emperor said in a heavy tone.

" Oh, Don't worry. I will fulfill your death wish, but not before using you to the fullest. You tried to destroy the order and the peace of the Heavenly realm. Your sins will only be atoned when you sacrifice your everything for the Heavenly Realm!"

" I will make sure you do that." War God Zhen smirked as he looked at the Illustrious Emperor.

The illustrious Emperor didn't understand what War God was talking about, but he had a feeling that it wasn't good for him.

War God Zhen turned back and left the room, leaving the Illustrious Emperor behind in the painful silence.

War God Zhen got to the throne room and gazed at the majestic empty throne that had lost its ruler.

He was feeling somewhat sad as a memory of Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu sitting on the throne flashed before his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I wish things could be different, but that's how it's supposed to be. I will do anything for our Heavenly Realm and its safety. Even if it means killing the ones I was supposed to protect. "

He muttered as he stepped towards the throne. He stopped just before it... turned back and sat on the throne, like the ruler.

"I promise you two things, Your Majesty. First, I will make our Heavenly Realm prosper under my lead. And second, I will find your only grandson... and I will kill him... with my own sword. His blood shall be the foundation of our great Heavenly Realm's future glory." War God Zhen closed his eyes and said as if he was talking to himself.

He only wanted to do one thing. To increase his strength so that he could take his necklace back from the girl known as Battle fairy and help his mother recover from the poison.

Xu Ming had read the Heavenly Origin Cultivation manual completely and now he had already begun cultivating.

He had begun his journey towards the path of cultivation. A journey that would take him to countless unknown worlds and make him face vicious foes.
