When facing Heaven and the Celestial God Organization, all Wang Chong could do was use his supreme abilities to control spacetime and pluck the Wang Family Residence from the earth and into the halo divine tool.
Such a large-scale shift had consumed a great deal of Wang Chong’s energy and had been one of the reasons Wang Chong had been so passive in the following battle with Heaven.
Even so, Wang Chong had felt no regret.
His heart grew excited as he took in that familiar estate, and he immediately jumped over the walls and into the grounds.
But upon stepping inside, he felt his heart chill and his blood freeze.
Quiet!
Too quiet!
It was different from the busy atmosphere he had anticipated, and neither his mother nor his brothers were there to welcome him. The entire Wang Family Residence was so quiet that it seemed deserted.
“How could it be like this?”
Wang Chong’s heart shivered.
Bzzz! Wang Chong immediately had his Psychic Energy engulf the estate.
And when he saw what was going on, his heart sank like a stone.
As Wang Chong stood at the gate, his body turned cold.
Wang Chong could sense that the several hundred people within the residence were unconscious, the maids, servants, and guards having collapsed in the verandas and pavilions, and amidst the fake mountains.
Their souls were extremely weak, like candles in the wind, about to go out at any moment. This was no regular sleep.
“Mother!”
A thought occurred to Wang Chong, and he instantly moved to his study.
The study was quiet, still as it was before the battle had erupted.
Wang Chong’s mother was lying on Wang Chong’s armchair, her head on the table and her breathing weak. It seemed like she was deeply asleep.
Wang Chong went up and touched her, but Madam Wang did not react.
Wang Chong felt like his breathing had stopped. He could sense that his mother’s life energy was extremely unstable.
Buzz!
Wang Chong sent out Psychic Energy into his mother’s mind, and a few moments later, his heart dropped like a stone.
“This isn’t good. The madam’s soul is seemingly incomplete, some of it not in her body!” A voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind, the voice of Little Nightmare.
Wang Chong’s Psychic Energy had extended into Madam Wang’s mind, and Little Nightmare could sense the situation in her body through this link.
“It’s not just the madam. Everyone’s souls are incomplete.
“How could this be?!”
Little Nightmare was flabbergasted. As a being of Psychic Energy, it was extremely sensitive to situations like this.
Wang Chong’s moving of the entire residence to the halo divine tool could not have produced such a major change. Moreover, Little Nightmare could tell that Wang Chong had also used spacetime energy to compress large amounts of air and transport it here so that they could breathe normally.
This was not brought about by a lack of oxygen.
It was Heaven!
Little Nightmare suddenly understood.
Wang Chong’s complexion was also extremely grim. He had naturally reached the same conclusion as Little Nightmare. He now understood why Heaven and Essence Supreme had let him leave without pursuing him.
“Bastard!”
Wang Chong’s bones cracked and groaned, his eyes erupting with killing intent.
Heaven had already ensured that even if Wang Chong fled, he would have to come back.
Within the Foundation Dimension, Little Nightmare was alarmed by the change in Wang Chong’s mental state and hastily called out, “Master, don’t be rash. We don’t have the strength to oppose Heaven. Carelessly going back will only lead to our deaths!”
This was not the time to act on emotion. Wang Chong would be throwing himself into the net by going back.
The area was quiet as Wang Chong stood motionless, his thoughts inscrutable.
After some time, Madam Wang’s body trembled as she softly muttered, “Chong-er.”
Her voice was warm and gentle, brimming with endless compassion. But after this, Madam Wang fell back into that nearly unconscious state.

Wang Chong’s heart trembled as an unprecedented pain sliced and tore at it.
His mother was just an ordinary woman without the strength to truss a chicken, but even though Heaven had wiped out all the memories regarding him and even modified her soul, she still remembered Wang Chong.
In his last life, he had failed to protect her, and now that he had been reborn, he had not imagined that Heaven would do something to her.
Wang Chong walked over and spoke in an incomparably gentle voice. “Mother, be at ease. I’ll save you no matter what!”
Heaven, no matter what, I’ll make you pay! Wang Chong’s eyes flashed with a vicious light, but those words remained unspoken.
He would make anyone who dared to hurt his intimates pay, even if that person was Heaven.
“Little Nightmare, is there any way to help them?” Wang Chong suddenly asked.
Little Nightmare remained quiet for some time before finally speaking.
“Their condition isn’t good. Very little time has passed since we fled, but they’ve already fallen unconscious. Moreover, I can sense that their souls are continuing to weaken.
“Unless we find a way to restore their souls, in the end, they will still… All I can do is slow the decline of their souls and delay, but that’s not a real solution!” Little Nightmare said.
As a member of the powerful Nightmare Beast species, it had talents and abilities that humans could never imagine. For example, it could absorb the soul energy of humans, take control of their minds, or even alter their memories.
Little Nightmare also had abilities to treat and heal the souls of humans.
Buzz!
A weak pulse of soul energy came from Little Nightmare and into the bodies of the Wang Family Residence members.
These points of energy were like dim points of starlight, but Wang Chong could tell that after Little Nightmare took action, the lives of the several hundred people of the residence stabilized. Though they had not broken free of that state, their condition had taken a turn for the better.
“Master, this is the best I can do.” Little Nightmare’s voice was tinged with exhaustion as it rang out in Wang Chong’s mind.
“It’s enough. Little Nightmare, thank you,” Wang Chong sincerely said.
Little Nightmare was extremely weak, and to do this much had been very difficult.
“Leave the rest to me!” Wang Chong said.
Buzz!
Wang Chong quickly departed his study and appeared above the estate. He took one last glance at the lantern-lit estate, a hint of sorrow in his eyes, and then he aimed a hand down below.
Bang!
The air trembled as a dazzling, dark golden halo swiftly engulfed the estate.
At the same time, Halos of Spacetime of various sizes appeared all across the Wang Family Residence, creating a vast and complicated formation.
Bang!
An invisible energy caused the Wang Family Residence to rapidly shrink, and in the blink of an eye, it vanished, completely sealed.
Until all this was resolved, this was the only solution Wang Chong could think of to this predicament.
Once this was done, Wang Chong departed from the halo’s dimension.
The next step was to find his two Divine Embryos!
When he next appeared, he was above the mountain. He looked around, confirmed the direction, and quickly began to make his way toward the approximate location of the two Divine Embryos.
……
Around eight hundred li north of the capital, amidst steep and craggy moun
tains, more than fifty thousand meters beneath the surface…
This was a silent and lifeless place that should have been out of reach to humans.
But at this moment, a ball of weak energy lurked here.
Within this silver ball of energy was a muscular figure equipped with armor, seated cross-legged.
His divine armor was in tatters, the shoulders and chest completely punched through, the scars of battle still evident.
Golden blood trickled out from the armor, unable to be staunched.
If one entered this body, one would find that a destructive and terrifying energy was running through it, wreaking havoc and slicing away at its insides.
This figure was completely focused on circulating Stellar Energy in the hopes of treating his energy, but every time a wound was healed, that alien Stellar Energy would cut it back open.
The wounds building up on his body were frightening to behold.
If an outsider had been here, they would have undoubtedly recognized this wound-covered figure to be Wang Chong’s third Divine Embryo.
Buzz!
As the wounds built up, Divine Embryo 3 seemed to sense something and warily looked up. He swiftly rose, his body tensing as he prepared for battle.
“It’s me!”
Divine Embryo 3 trembled, and then his muscles relaxed.
A few moments later, a figure penetrated through the layers of rock and appeared above Divine Embryo 3. It was none other than Wang Chong’s original body.
Seeing Divine Embryo 3, Wang Chong exhaled in relief.
I finally found it!
But Wang Chong’s expression quickly turned grave.
His original body and his clone were originally one. He had never needed to communicate with Divine Embryo 3 as if they were two independent beings.
There was something very strange about Divine Embryo 3’s state, and it wasn’t because it was badly wounded from an intense battle. Wang Chong could sense that there was even something wrong with Divine Embryo 3’s soul and mind. It was like another power was disrupting it, blocking the connection between him and it.
Buzz!
Wang Chong swiftly placed an index finger on Divine Embryo 3’s forehead.
Hiss!
A black wisp of energy was soon ejected from the back of Divine Embryo 3’s head. Wang Chong wrapped his hand around it and pulled, extracting a greenish-black ball of flame from the depths of the head.
The edges of this flame were black, and at the heart was a complicated and ancient inscription that Wang Chong did not recognize.
“That scoundrel Heaven! So you were trying to take my Divine Embryo for yourself!”
His eyes chilled as he recognized the purpose of this flame.
This flame’s energy signature was the same as Heaven’s. This was a special inscription that Heaven had developed specifically to take the two Divine Embryos.
This divine inscription could cut his connection with the clones and would also silently seep into their bodies.
The Divine Embryos had a limited consciousness, so they had failed to realize that they had taken this attack in the middle of the battle. If Little Nightmare had not been able to find their general locations, allowing him to find them early, Heaven would have needed just a few more days to succeed.
“Alas, it’s not yours, never yours.”
Wang Chong coldly laughed as he pinched the flame out.
As that greenish-black flame went out, a suppressed energy was finally able to reach out and connect Wang Chong and Divine Embryo 3.
The original body and clone were one once more.
Boom!
An enormous energy erupted from Wang Chong’s body and poured into Divine Embryo 3, instantly sweeping through all of Divine Embryo 3’s veins and driving out that vicious and alien Stellar Energy.
The wounds on Divine Embryo 3’s body rapidly began to heal.
Buzz!
Wang Chong quickly used spacetime energy to draw Divine Embryo 3 into the Foundation Dimension.
The Foundation Dimension had powerful restorative properties, and Wang Chong had stored a large amount of energy within it. In there, Divine Embryo 3’s recovery would be much faster.
After getting back Divine Embryo 3, Wang Chong quickly shot off to find Divine Embryo 2.
With the three Divine Embryos brought back together, Wang Chong’s strength instantly soared. Even though he was still not able to defeat Heaven, he was at least better able to protect himself.
“Heaven, it’s our turn now,” Wang Chong sternly said.
Looking back at the capital, Wang Chong immediately began to make his way toward it.
……
Leaving the mountains, Wang Chong did not go straight to the capital. Instead, he turned midway and made a detour.
Heaven was simply too powerful. Before entering the capital, Wang Chong needed to see someone.
Now that neither his master nor the Wushang Village Chief was present, only by borrowing a certain man’s power could Wang Chong increase his chances.
Buzz!
A dark golden Halo of Spacetime appeared, and Wang Chong vanished.
Around a thousand li to the northeast of the capital, Wang Chong walked out from his Halo of Spacetime.
He should be around here, Wang Chong mentally commented as he looked down.
The majority of his side’s experts had disappeared in the battle over the capital, including Su Zhengchen. There were few people who could help him, but the former Crown Prince, Li Xuantu, was undoubtedly one of them.
After that incident in which Genesis Supreme was slain, Li Xuantu had left the capital and vanished without a trace. And though Li Xuantu had told no one where he had gone and could make himself very difficult to find if he so desired, he was not actually that difficult to track down.
Chapter 2306 - Another Meeting with Li Xuantu!
Chapter 2306: Another Meeting with Li Xuantu!
Translated by: Hypersheep325

As a member of the imperial household, Li Xuantu could not possibly live the bland life of an ordinary person. Even in the decades he had been imprisoned by the Sage Emperor beneath the imperial prison, the Sage Emperor had still treated him like a member of the imperial household, feeding him fine delicacies and gourmet food.
Thus, the Imperial Court had only needed to slightly investigate to find Li Xuantu’s location. Li Xuantu hadn’t gone far. After leaving, he had taken up residence in a vacation palace to the northeast of the capital.
Wang Chong had learned that this villa was where Li Xuantu’s father had enjoyed summering, and in his childhood, when Li Xuantu had yet to earn his father’s ire and still got along, he was often brought here.
This vacation palace held deep significance for Li Xuantu, which was why he had chosen to stay there.
When Li Xuantu entered this villa, it had basically been completely abandoned. Very few maids and eunuchs remained, and many parts of it had not been repaired for many years.
There were numerous vacation palaces like this, accumulated over many years.
Once Li Xuantu occupied it, Li Heng did not punish him. On the contrary, he sent people to repair the vacation palace, trying to restore it to the state that Li Xuantu remembered it to be in. In addition, he also sent maids and guards to attend on Li Xuantu. All of this was done quietly and without the slightest noise.
Li Xuantu didn’t ask too many questions and Li Heng didn’t disturb him. The two of them maintained a calm harmony.
After learning what had happened from Li Heng, Wang Chong had praised his actions.
Li Xuantu wasn’t a good Crown Prince, but he wasn’t some wicked evildoer, and he was also a member of the imperial household. This was a very good ending for him.
Buzz!
In a flash of light, Wang Chong appeared in the repaired palace. With its painted beams and elegant decor, it had a very peaceful and secluded atmosphere.
When Wang Chong en
tered, there were ten-some eunuchs and maids sweeping the floor. This sudden newcomer gave them a fright, and their jaws dropped in confusion and disbelief.
But Wang Chong quickly scanned the room and turned his attention to a black-robed and slender middle-aged man seated above.
Li Xuantu!
This Li Xuantu had lost some of his domineering attitude and seemed more relaxed. It was like he had shed his impurities and returned to simplicity.
“You’re here. Did I not say that I was not to be disturbed?”
Li Xuantu sat in his spacious armchair, and though he had sensed a newcomer in the hall, he did not even raise his head as he lightly sipped his tea. It was like nothing in the world was of concern to him.
“Heh, you still remember me. At least Heaven hasn’t wiped your memories yet!”
Wang Chong grinned and walked over, stopping only half a step away from Li Xuantu.
“Leave. I’m not welcoming guests. Moreover, I remember telling you very clearly that you were not to disturb me, and that I did not like being disturbed.”
Li Xuantu continued to sip his tea, not raising his head.
Wang Chong looked down at Li Xuantu and sternly said, “Don’t tell me that you’re completely unaware of what’s happened in the capital.”
Li Xuantu was someone who always wanted to do things the hard way. Courtesy and meekness were pointless with him, and Wang Chong had no plans to waste time with him.
“What does it matter if I know? Your two Divine Embryos and all the experts in the capital joined together, but did Heaven not still defeat them? Li Taiyi couldn’t deal with him, so why do you think that I can? And why should I help you?”
Li Xuantu finally raised his head, looking at Wang Chong with a sneering glance.
Though he no longer sought the throne, he hadn’t fallen so far as to fight for Li Taiyi’s son.
Wang Chong thought too highly of himself!
“It doesn’t matter if you agree or not, but once Heaven succeeds, he’ll be moving to you next, and how could anyone permit another to snore away on their bed? Do you really think that Heaven will let you freely live here?
“I know that you’re not willing to be ordered around by the previous Emperor’s children. Perhaps you’re more willing to be brainwashed and controlled by Heaven, made into his slave,” Wang Chong savagely responded, coldly chuckling.
