Everlasting Immortal Firmament Book 5– C196– Imperial Father, This Child Did Not Embarrass You, Right?

Book 5: Chapter 196: Imperial Father, This Child Did Not Embarrass You, Right?

After the Supreme Genesis smashed Ao Tianhuang's projection, he looked coldly at Gu Qin.

“Ffather! Help!” Yanxuan cried out.

The Supreme Genesis did not say anything. Instead, he pressed towards Gu Qin, unleashing a powerful aura. If it were in the past, this aura would suppress everyone into immobility. However, Gu Qin and the Embroidered Uniform Guards had entered the Asura Path Secret Realm and now possessed immense Soul Energy.

Most of the angels fell to their knees, but Gu Qin and the Embroidered Uniform Guards remained standing.

“Don't come over!” Gu Qin glared as he squeezed hard.

Crack!

Gu Qin's fingers stabbed into Yanxuan's head.

“You already have nowhere to run. Coming to Heaven City is simply seeking death. You are Gu Hai's son, Gu Qin? Humph! All of Gu Hai's people are nothing good,” the Supreme Genesis said coldly.

“Supreme Genesis, I have Ao Tianhuang's Soul Extinguishing Powder. Take another step forward, and I will destroy Yanxuan's souls!” Gu Qin said coldly.

Buzz! The Supreme Genesis's figure paused. He showed a ferocious expression as he said, “Heavenly Palace Realm? How excellent! Even I did not know about this. To think that Gu Hai has so many Heavenly Palace Realm subordinates?!”

Although the Supreme Genesis felt shocked, he still cared about Yanxuan. With Yehua dead, this was his only remaining son.

“Meng Tai, bring Crown Prince Ao Shun away!” Gu Qin said after a deep breath.

“Yes! Huh? What? Crown Prince, I am to bring Crown Prince Ao Shun away? What about you? Are you not coming with us?” Meng Tai's expression changed dramatically.

“The Supreme Genesis will not let me go,” Gu Qin said with a cold smile.

“Oh? You are rather smart. Humph! Quickly let go of Yanxuan, and I can spare you,” the Supreme Genesis said coldly.

“Hah! Supreme Genesis, do you think I will believe you?” Gu Qin sneered.

“Huh? What do you mean?” The Supreme Genesis's expression turned cold.

Gu Qin said seriously, “Let them go. I'll stay.”

“Crown Prince, you can't. You should leave with us!” Meng Tai cried out.

“Leave together? I can't do that now. If I take Yanxuan away, the Supreme Genesis would rather abandon him, possibly even kill him. By then, none of us can leave,” Gu Qin said sullenly.

“How can that be?!” Meng Tai's expression changed.

“Just like how Ao Tianhuang does not want Ao Shun to become a fetter for him, the Supreme Genesis does not want Yanxuan to become his mental shackle. He is facing a battle to the death; he cannot afford mental shackles. He would rather kill Yanxuan with his own hands than let Ao Tianhuang use Yanxuan as a hostage against him. Listen to me. Leave now. You can leave only if I remain,” Gu Qin said coldly.

“No! Let this subordinate hold Yanxuan hostage instead. Crown Prince, you should leave instead!” Meng Tai said anxiously.

Gu Qin stared at the Supreme Genesis while holding Yanxuan. Then, he shook his head. “Hand him to you? The moment I hand him over to you, the Supreme Genesis can instantly eliminate me. Leave quickly!”

“Crown Prince!” Meng Tai cried out anxiously.

“This is an order! Meng Tai, heed my order and bring Crown Prince Ao Shun away!” Gu Qin roared.

“Yes!” Meng Tai responded with bloodshot eyes.

Ao Shun, whom Meng Tai supported, felt shaken when he saw Gu Qin's determined expression.

“Supreme Genesis, a person for a person. You can give up on Yanxuan, while Ao Tianhuang can give up on Ao Shun. How about you exchange his son for your son? Then, fight each other with just your own capabilities,” Gu Qin said.

“What if I refuse?” the Supreme Genesis countered with an icy expression.

“If you refuse, then we just die together. I'll kill Yanxuan, and Meng Tai will kill Ao Shun. That way, no one will have any hostages. After Meng Tai kills Ao Shun, Ao Tianhuang will abandon all hope and go all out, taking you down with him,” Gu Qin said coldly.

The Supreme Genesis's eyelids twitched wildly. “Hah! Hahahaha! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Gu Hai's son is just like Gu Hai; both of you are ruthless characters.”

“By coming here, we accepted that we might die. Supreme Genesis, what do you think of my suggestion?” Gu Qin said once more.

A faint, cold look flashed in the Supreme Genesis's eyes. “Haha! Excellent! Excellent! Let them go!”

“Yes!” The angels in the surroundings immediately moved aside.

“Crown Prince!” The eyes of Meng Tai and the Embroidered Uniform Guards turned bloodshot.

“Meng Tai, if Imperial Father makes it back, help me tell Imperial Father that this child is incapable and can no longer perform his filial duty to Imperial Father.” Gu Qin showed a faintly distressed expression.

Meng Tai and the Embroidered Uniform Guards teared up and suddenly knelt to Gu Qin. “Crown Prince, these officials deserve death!”

“Leave quickly! This is an order!” Gu Qin roared.

“Let's go!” Meng Tai wiped his tears, took out a flying ship, and sped away with the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Whoosh!

The flying ship quickly carried Meng Tai, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and Ao Shun into the distance.

The Supreme Genesis stared at Gu Qin with an icy gaze.

The Supreme Genesis spoke only after Meng Tai's group had vanished over the horizon. “Alright, they have left already. It is time to let go of Yanxuan, right?”

After verifying that Meng Tai's group was gone, Gu Qin stared straight at the Supreme Genesis.

“Supreme Genesis, what will you do to me after I let go of Yanxuan?” Gu Qin said with a smile.

“I'll spare you from death,” the Supreme Genesis said coldly.

When the Supreme Genesis spoke, Gu Qin noticed a trace of ruthlessness in the Supreme Genesis's eyes.

“Father, hand him to me!” Yanxuan said with hatred in his voice as he trembled.

Spare me from death?

Gu Qin believed that he would die immediately as long as he let go of Yanxuan. In fact, it would be most likely that Yanxuan would counterattack to kill him.

“Hah! There's no need. I am Gu Hai's son, and Yanxuan is your—the Supreme Genesis's—son. How can Gu Hai's son die to the Supreme Genesis's son? Isn't that as good as saying that Gu Hai is not as good as the Supreme Genesis at raising sons? My imperial father is always the best. The sons he raises are definitely the best too. You—the Supreme Genesis—are not even worthy of carrying my imperial father's shoes!” Gu Qin showed a ferocious expression.

“What did you say?” The Supreme Genesis's expression changed.

“Explode!” Gu Qin shouted.

“No!” Yanxuan cried out in fear.

Boom!

Yanxuan's head exploded. The Soul Extinguishing Powder in Gu Qin's hand instantly shattered his three spiritual souls.

“You are seeking death!” the Supreme Genesis roared in a rage.

Flying into a rage in embarrassment, the Supreme Genesis threw a palm strike at Gu Qin.

“Imperial Father, this child did not embarrass you, right?” Gu Qin showed a bleak smile.

Before Gu Qin died, he suddenly recalled childhood memories for some reason.

Gu Qin, you are the eldest. You have to set a good example for your three younger brothers in the future.

Eldest Brother! Eldest Brother! Father praised you again today! You are awesome!

Qin`er, come here. Mother made this steamed cake for you. Your father wants to eat it, but we are not giving it to him. Hehe!

Boom!

The Supreme Genesis's palm strike landed and instantly obliterated Gu Qin, reducing him to ashes that scattered away.

“Hah!”

On a distant flying ship:

“These officials deserve death!” Meng Tai and the Embroidered Uniform Guards knelt in Heaven City's direction with tears in their eyes.

The Supreme Genesis still had not vented the frustrations in his heart after killing Gu Qin. His furious roar spread out in the sky.

Boom!

Ao Tianhuang suddenly arrived at Heaven City.

“You killed Crown Prince Gu Qin?” Ao Tianhuang's expression changed.

The twelve-winged angel that the Cross Annihilation transformed into trailed behind Ao Tianhuang.

The twelve-winged angel could not stop Ao Tianhuang.

The Supreme Genesis stared at Ao Tianhuang, incredibly depressed.

Ao Shun was rescued? Ao Tianhuang's son is safe?

Yet, my son died? Another son died? They all died?

“All angels, listen up! Chant the Supreme Genesis Scripture and lend me your strength! Hah!” the Supreme Genesis roared as the Supreme Genesis Scripture suddenly appeared, hovering above his hand.

Buzz!

The Supreme Genesis Scripture trembled, appearing to have transmitted the Supreme Genesis's voice to all the angels, not just those in Heaven City. All the angels heard his voice no matter where they were, and they chanted the Supreme Genesis Scripture.

Beams of light shot over from all directions as the angels sent their energy to the Supreme Genesis Scripture.

The Supreme Genesis Scripture quickly refined the energy and funneled it into the Supreme Genesis.

Buzz!

The Supreme Genesis instantly unleashed an overwhelming aura even stronger than that of the twelve-winged angel the Cross Annihilation transformed into.

“All the angels' energy?” Ao Tianhuang's face sank.

Now, the Supreme Genesis was tricky to deal with.

“Ao Tianhuang, die!” the Supreme Genesis roared and punched at Ao Tianhuang's face.

Boom!

Two fists clashed, and spatial ripples suddenly spread out. Space even tore where the two fists met.

This time, the Supreme Genesis did not move back. Even when Ao Tianhuang used all his power, he only pulled a draw with the Supreme Genesis.

The two were equal. However, the Supreme Genesis still had the Cross Annihilation—a twelve-winged angel.

“Hah!”

The twelve-winged angel attacked from behind.

Boom!

Intense windstorms instantly howled through Heaven City. Chaos ensued.

The area outside the gigantic fusang tree turned chaotic.

The thirty-three layers of heaven continued flying towards the fusang tree from the north.

Rising Heaven Throne Hall:

Some officials stood respectfully in the large palace hall, reporting the battle situation at the fusang tree.

“Your Holy Eminence, the Supreme Singularity has not emerged yet!” Ye Shenzhen reported deferentially.

“What is the battle situation?” Long Zhanguo asked indifferently while sitting on his throne.

Long Zhanguo had only one target: the Supreme Singularity. He left all the other battles to his subordinates. Before the Supreme Singularity appeared, Long Zhanguo would not move.

“Sima Zongheng is leading the thirty-three armies in a protracted battle with the Cyclic Star Ritual Array. Kong Xuan is managing the Cyclic Star Ritual Array. He is strong and stubborn, resulting in both sides sustaining severe injuries and casualties. There is no way to decide the victor quickly,” Ye Shenzhen reported deferentially.

“That is as expected,” Long Zhanguo said seriously.

“Ao Tianhuang has led the dragon race into battle in Heaven City. The Han Nation's crown prince, Gu Qin, heroically sacrificed himself to save Ao Shun. Ao Tianhuang can now fight at full power without any constraints,” Ye Shenzhen reported.

“Gu Qin?” Long Zhanguo raised his eyebrows.

“Yes. Finally, the three crown princes fought the golden crow crown princes. Nine of them appeared, missing Lu Ya. The three crown princes fought a tough battle, and the third crown prince, Long Shenwu, sacrificed himself in battle,” Ye Shenzhen reported.

“Long Shenwu? Humph!” Long Zhanguo snorted coldly.

“Your Holy Eminence, this Prince Shenwu is just a clone, right? However, his true body never made an appearance. We are already approaching the end of the battle…,” Ye Shenzhen said worriedly.

“Long Shenwu? Never mind. He wants no part in our fight with the Six Paths Immortal. That's why he has been intentionally hiding since the start. That's fine. It does not matter if he does not come,” Long Zhanguo said coldly.

Ye Shenzhen nodded, not daring to say anything more on this topic.

“The Ten Rising Suns Ritual Array is indeed powerful. Just nine golden crow crown princes have already made the battle very difficult for the remaining two crown princes. If Lu Ya also appears, who knows what the outcome will be? However, it seems that Lu Ya has never appeared despite the golden crow crown princes' repeated calls,” Ye Shenzhen said with a frown.

Long Zhanguo narrowed his eyes slightly. “Lu Ya captured Gu Hai?”

“Yes! I just received the information. Lu Ya brought Gu Hai away twelve days ago. Your Holy Eminence, should we direct the two crown princes to rescue Gu Hai at an opportune moment?” Ye Shenzhen asked.

Long Zhanguo remained silent for a while. Then, he took a deep breath before replying, “We cannot get distracted right before the decisive battle. If anything happens to Gu Hai, we will just search for his spiritual souls and physical souls to revive him after defeating the Six Paths Immortal. Furthermore, he did not ask us for help.”

“Yes!” Ye Shenzhen answered with his head lowered.

Long Zhanguo did not intend to rescue Gu Hai. He could not afford to get distracted at this time.

A man suddenly rushed into the palace hall. “Reporting to Qian Heavenly Emperor!”

“Qin Zibai?” Ye Shenzhen frowned.

When Mo Yike left the heavenly court to take over the Yuan Nation's former territory for the Han Royal Dynasty, he had left Qin Zibai behind to pass on messages.

Was Qin Zibai here to ask the Qian Heavenly Emperor for help?

“Mister Qin, if Gu Hai is asking for help, don't bother for now. Nothing must go wrong with this battle,” Ye Shenzhen said preemptively.

Some things should not be said by the emperor. As the emperor's official, Ye Shenzhen needed to forestall the request.

“That's not it. His Majesty sent some information. I hope that Qian Heavenly Emperor will listen to it,” Qin Zibai said.

Long Zhanguo frowned slightly.

Ye Shenzhen's face sank. Why are you—Qin Zibai—so insensitive? I have already said that we cannot be disturbed while dealing with the Solar Divine Palace.

However, Qin Zibai took out a zither puppet with a flip of his palm. Then, the zither puppet repeated the message in Gu Hai's voice and tone.

“Qian Heavenly Emperor, Long Zhanguo, I am Gu Hai. I have found the Animal Path Secret Realm. It is at the Manifold Deity Palace in Lu Ya City. Come quickly! Come quickly!”

After the zither puppet finished the message, the expression of the frowning Long Zhanguo suddenly changed.

So, here's an announcement. After searching around, taking some time to read several novels and trying to figure out what to do next, I have finally picked a novel and have started some work on it. I do want to build up a bit of a stockpile first before releasing it, so I can maintain a stable release schedule, rather than having it delayed all the time just because I have not finished the translations yet. However, I should have the first few chapters out in a couple weeks. It shall be called, “Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?” It is a modern comedy with cultivation and fantasy ability elements, and it also brings in characters from several games, even traveling to those game worlds.
