Chapter 51: Becoming the Heavenly Emperor

Origin Temple.

The sky was filled with auroras, their breathtaking lights dancing freely, painting the heavens and earth of the secret realm with brilliant colors.

The ever-changing auroras poured down like a radiant shower of light, resembling ethereal spirits flitting through the high skies, parting the celestial canopy and unfurling a grand and magnificent scroll.

This mesmerizing, awe-inspiring spectacle proclaimed to all creation:

A new Heavenly Emperor was born at this very moment!

“The auroras crown me; I am the supreme Heavenly Emperor!”

Mu Changge declared this with a youthful boldness.

Bathed in the aurora’s glow high above, the Path of Time and the Path of Space arrived simultaneously.

The Path of Time and Space opened a gateway for Mu Changge, connecting him to the past, present, and future, granting him the forbidden power to reverse and manipulate time and space.

As the extraordinary phenomenon subsided, Mu Changge reined in his imperial aura.

With a mere thought, the spacetime divine weapon he forged from the dragon bones of the Silver Dragon Yaoguang—the Aurora Dragon Pattern Spear—materialized in his hand.

The spear’s shaft was engraved with ancient and mysterious spacetime runes. Burning away time, tearing apart space, annihilating spacetime itself—such feats were but a simple task for the weapon’s master. As long as the wielder possessed the skill, traversing time and space to eliminate targets was as effortless as a breeze.

Immediately, from Mu Changge’s divine soul, eighty-one Dragon Pattern throwing knives, each marked with spacetime runes and crafted from the Silver Dragon Yaoguang’s scales, soared forth, swirling around him. Together, they formed an enormous silver orb, enveloping Mu Changge.

These knives, akin to sentient floating turrets, assisted him in battle.

They were Mu Changge’s ultimate weapons for overwhelming foes. In his eyes, merely striking a pose while these countless knives rained down to slaughter enemies without so much as a scratch on him was undeniably stylish and heroic!

Mu Changge withdrew the eighty-one throwing knives back into his divine soul, also storing the Aurora Dragon Pattern Spear within his consciousness. He then appeared beside the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa and Athena.

Nuwa and Athena stood outside the temple, present to witness Mu Changge’s ascension to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.

“Primordial Mother Goddess, Lady Athena, I have lived up to your expectations—I have become the Heavenly Emperor.”

Nuwa nodded, her eyes filled with admiration.

Athena smiled gently. “You have graduated; you no longer need to call me teacher. Address me by my true name.”

Mu Changge was about to respond when Athena stepped forward, lightly pressing a finger to his lips. “Heed me: though I am the Mother of Heroes, I do not wish to have eternal students.”

Mu Changge nodded in agreement, accepting her request.

Nuwa regarded Mu Changge solemnly and warned, “You are now the Heavenly Emperor, but remember: never act recklessly.”

“Please rest assured, Primordial Mother Goddess. I shall act with discretion.”

Nuwa nodded in approval and said no more.

Mu Changge then turned to Athena, inviting her, “Beautiful Greek goddess Athena, would you fight alongside me beyond the cosmos?”

Athena laughed softly. “Of course. I would be delighted.”

Together, Mu Changge and Athena harnessed the power of spacetime and vanished from the secret realm.

Nuwa watched their disappearance and mused, “The future of the Yanhuang people and the fate of Olympus—a truly fascinating pairing.”

Beyond the universe, in the infinite primordial chaotic sea of elemental energy—the Chaos Sea—two supreme deities faced off.

Mu Changge wielded the Aurora Dragon Pattern Spear, while Athena brandished the Scythe of Death. They stared at each other across the void.

Suddenly, Mu Changge and Athena transformed into phantoms. Countless images of both appeared amidst the Chaos Sea, locked in battle. Each clash of spear and scythe resounded with a divine thunder, shaking the very chaos itself.

Even those with a fear of crowded spaces would be overwhelmed by the countless duels unfolding. Each replica moved uniquely, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Yet, for Mu Changge and Athena, this was merely a warm-up—nothing of true consequence.

The collision of their supreme divine powers echoed like a colossal explosion throughout the Chaos Sea.

Had this battle taken place within a universe, it would have drawn the attention of other top-tier deities, for the scope of their clash was vast. Two supreme gods wielding spacetime powers was a spectacle far beyond ordinary divine confrontations.

After countless rounds, Mu Changge and Athena ceased their warm-up, and the myriad illusions faded.

“Athena, don’t cry when you lose later.”

“I am no weak girl; my pride and glory will never let me bow or admit defeat!”

“Good. Then I shall fight seriously!”

---

“Come! Let me see your true strength!”

Boundless spacetime power radiated from Mu Changge. As the Heavenly Emperor wielding control over time and space, he appeared as an impenetrable bastion of despair, pressing down upon Athena’s delicate form.

Athena summoned all her divine authority to resist the overwhelming pressure.

Mu Changge tightened his grip on the Aurora Dragon Pattern Spear, stepping toward Athena through the void. At this moment, all laws and cosmic paths bowed before him, unwilling to confront the Heavenly Emperor directly.

This was the power of one who mastered spacetime!

At this moment, Mu Changge’s strength neared the ultimate cosmic limit of the solitary Yaoguang species.

Yet unlike the cosmic-limit Yaoguang, Mu Changge still possessed unused dragon scales bestowed by Tianyuan Yinglong, leaving room for further growth.

Athena’s expression grew grave as she watched Mu Changge advance step by step. He was her strongest opponent yet, his command of spacetime far surpassing her own—there was no comparison.

But Athena would not surrender without a fight!

“My true name is Athena!”

“By Athena’s true name, I command the mightiest Triune Goddesses to return at this moment!”

“My essence and all my powers shall fight for the glory of the goddess!”

“Past, present, and future—my true name resounding through the ancestral star of Origin shall bring hope of victory!”

Divine power surged from Athena’s entire being, her overwhelming pressure crashing against the tidal wave of despair pressing down upon her.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Chinese world and the Queen of the Greek realm simultaneously launched their finishing blows!

“BOOM!!!”

The tremendous divine force triggered a massive explosion, shaking the Chaos Sea and causing nearby universes to tremble.

After the blast, the Chaos Sea fell silent once more.

Mu Changge glanced at the petite girl cradled in his arms and returned to his own universe.
