Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 828, The two exiled cities and the three missing cities

Unmoving City of Darkness?!

Ye Qingyu's expression immediately changed when he heard these words.

He hadn't heard of this name for a long time.

In Ye Qingyu's mind, these four words should belong only in Heaven Wasteland Domain. His memories related to the Unmoving City of Darkness all occurred in Heaven Wasteland Domain. The little loli who was once his schoolmate and eventually gradually drifted away, the peerless female sword fairy who shook Deer City with her earthshaking sword strike, the girl who was dressed in a dark red armour and shrouded in dark red flames, the girl who drank to her heart's content in the Red Dust Inn, and the girl who was always there to protect him in the suspected Palace of Luosu...

Time had changed, the place had changed, and even the memory and identity had changed.

But the feelings in his heart towards that girl had never changed.

And Ye Qingyu had always been in a bit of a trance.

Whether it was the first moment of waking up and opening his eyes every day, whether it was the moment of life and death, or when he was about to sleep, and even when the same bright and golden rays of the morning sun shone into a similar forest area... In short, in a lot of similar moments, Ye Qingyu still seemed to hear that melodious and mischievous voice many years ago in White Deer Academy ringing in his ears. It happened on the tree-lined path illuminated by the first glimmer of dawn. "Hey, are you Ye Qingyu? The Ye Qingyu who was said to be selected into the Academy after only five tests?"

And every time Ye Qingyu was in such a trance, the corners of his mouth would be curved in an arc that even he did not realize, which represented an unprecedented feeling of relaxation and joy.

The girl was called Song Xiaojun.

Ye Qingyu couldn't help but smile when he thought of this name, and then very quickly his expression would dim down.

In truth, after losing Song Xiaojun's whereabouts, Ye Qingyu had missed her, worried about her, and even secretly arranged for people to investigate, but there was still no news about her. Ye Qingyu also became increasingly busy. Even he did not know from when the weight on his shoulders had began to continue to increase, making it difficult for him to breathe. He clearly wanted to relax, but like a fish that had fallen into a net, the more he struggled, the tighter the net was.

Gradually he began to take responsibility for the fate of too many people.

And since leaving Heaven Wasteland Domain, Ye Qingyu had subconsciously felt that he would not hear about the 'Unmoving City of Darkness' again. He never would have thought to hear these four words from the Celestial Phoenix Maiden.

Ye Qingyu was astonished for a moment.

"What, you know about the Unmoving City of Darkness?" The Celestial Phoenix Maiden seemed to have felt the change in Ye Qingyu, eyes flashed a hint of puzzlement.

"Not really." Ye Qingyu shook his head, and did not tell her the truth because he noticed, from the tone of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden before, the relationship between the Phoenix Race and the Unmoving City of Darkness was not too good. He paused for a moment before he responded, "I have heard people mentioned the name before, it sounded familiar."

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden nodded, and went into a daze again.

In the end Ye Qingyu couldn't help but ask, "That Unmoving City of Darkness, what is going on?"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden looked at Ye Qingyu again, pondered for a moment, and then gently sighed, "It is a very terrifying force, a force that my Phoenix Race had to monitor and fight against for the generations. Darkness had once shrouded the earth, causing millions to tremble all over, and later for some unknown reason, it was banished by a supreme power and left the stage of the great wide world. However, as before it still set off very terrifying waves... According to the ancient records of my Phoenix Race, millions of years ago, there were a total of twenty-four great cities on the Road of Chaos, and not the nineteen cities that there are today. In addition to what you know, the Unmoving City of Darkness was one of the major cities of chaos... There was also a huge city called the City of Light, which was also one of the major cities on the Road of Chaos."

What?!

The Unmoving City of Darkness was one of the major cities of chaos?

Ye Qingyu's expression changed again.

The news was a complete shock to him.

Although the Celestial Phoenix Maiden had already spoke about it briefly, but Ye Qingyu's heart was pounding violently like he had heard a clap of thunder.

The Unmoving City of Darkness has such a history?

But he had not heard of this information before.

Since the Unmoving City of Darkness was one of the major cities of chaos, why would it have descended onto Heaven Wasteland Domain. Wasn't Heaven Wasteland Domain just a new domain? Why would it be associated with such an ancient dark force? It should be said that, in the legends of Heaven Wasteland Domain, the Unmoving City of Darkness had existed for a long time, and was not a kind of orderly force...

Was the Unmoving City of Darkness that the Celestial Phoenix Maiden mentioned the same Unmoving City of Darkness in Heaven Wasteland Domain that he knew of?

If so, then Song Xiaojun, she... was she all right now?

And that City of Light... for some reason, the name also instinctively caught the attention of Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu couldn't control his impatience.

And on the other side, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden seemed to have not sensed Ye Qingyu's changes and continued to speak out what she knew.

It turned out that the world of Chaos had experienced many unforeseen events thousands of years ago...

The disappearance of the City of Light overnight had sparked great chaos on the Road of Chaos.

What was even more unexpected was that, after one hundred years of time, the Unmoving City of Darkness was exiled by a mysterious power and had completely disappeared from the Road of Chaos.

Hearing this information, Ye Qingyu flashed a glint of seriousness in the depths of his eyes, and fell into silence, seemingly thinking about something.

A moment later, he shook his head, only to find that the Celestial Phoenix Maiden was curiously staring at him. The way she looked at him was as though she could not understand why he was losing control over himself. Ye Qingyu smiled, without explaining himself and asked again, "You just said that there was a total of twenty-four cities of chaos. There are only nineteen cities now, besides the Unmoving City of Darkness and the City of Light, what about the other three big cities? Why have they gone?"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden turned her head, her crystal clear eyes meeting his gaze. After a long while, she shook her head, and answered, "I'm not sure, the ancient records are incomplete, the information that the descendants of the Phoenix Race had did not include information about the other three cities."

…

After a day.

The nineteenth City of Chaos——The Heaven Connect City.

Tens of millions of years ago, Heaven and earth dimmed and everything was lost.

When the realm of nothingness was first opened, it was a land of chaos, and once Heaven and earth were connected, then all things began to be born.

Heaven Connect City, not only signified the end of the Road of Chaos, but also the beginning of the world of chaos. It was the symbol of the birth of Heaven and earth in the world of nothingness.

At the same time, as the core city of the Domain Alliance, Heaven Connect City did not belong to a single force, but was a giant public city. The rules and order of the city were evaluated and maintained by the Alliance Parliament.

The people of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps came to the final location of the Domain Alliance at the fastest speed.

About the history of this huge city, Ye Qingyu and others had already heard about in detail from Elder Yan Wushuang on their way here.

But at this moment, when the members of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps were really standing on the welcoming square and looking into the distance, they were truly intimidated by what was before them.

The huge city was like a great immemorial mountain pressing down on everybody on the welcoming square.

Heaven Connect City was several times larger than the other major cities on the Road of Chaos. The city walls towered into the clouds, and it was simply impossible to see the end of the city. The city was almost an integral complete whole; there was not the slightest gap on the giant white jade buildings, and reflecting the sun's brilliance. It was so dazzling, that ordinary experts simply could not look at it from close up.

There were formations flashing all around the walls, exuding an ancient and majestic aura, as though it had experience countless years of flood and great changes. It made one unable to help but marvel at the fact that there were such mysterious and exquisite architectures in the world.

Its majestic and towering form resembled a huge dragon hovering over the vast expanse of the earth, and also looked like the incarnation of a god looking down upon the world, and guarding the Road of Chaos.

At the city gate, which was thousands of meters high, there were statues of the nine offspring of the divine dragon towering like mountains on both sides of the gate, all carved from white jade and were gold plated.

Each statue of the mythological beasts were looking skywards, theirs head almost piercing the clouds.

Unlike what Ye Qingyu had previously seen in the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss, these lifelike, solemn and majestic statues were filled with the Dao and spiritual energy, and did not exude the slightest murderous intent.

It made one unable to help but feel deep veneration.

The members of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps also had a look of excitement across their faces.

Following their arrival, the welcoming square was gradually growing livelier, more and more people were gathered around and discussing spiritedly.

"Are they the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps? The new domain ruled by the Human Race?"

"I heard that their leader is a female Emperor..."

"Is that the man who took on the Black Moon Immortal Palace alone, the one with black hair in white?"

"It should be, I see the members all respect him and the maiden next to him..."

"He doesn't look like a ferocious person, instead is gentle and handsome, and has a calm demeanor..."

Among the crowd, there were men and women, standing in groups of three to five, or standing alone. All were radiating a light and aura that were different. However, their strength was far superior to ordinary experts. Some of them were members of major prestigious forces, and there were also many disciples dressed in the uniform of their sect and appeared to have extraordinary statuses.

It was evident that the news that the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps would arrive at Heaven Connect City had spread far and wide, and had shook a number of forces and sects stationed in the city. Many had come right away to see the earth-shaking new domain, and the young expert Ye Qingyu, who had risen to fame——
