Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 595 - 589 There is a Problem with the Divine River

The Immortal King hurriedly replied, "It is Du Changya, disciple of Emperor Du Xing. He has inherited his master's title, Emperor Du Xing."

Ding Huan walked towards the Teleportation Array, "Immediately teleport me to the Immortal Court Square."

He bore no grudges with Emperor Du Xing, as long as no one targeted Emperor Xingpan and his friends.

Even if they turned the Pangu Great World upside down, he would not concern himself.

No one dared to obstruct Ding Huan from teleporting.

As soon as he landed on the Immortal Court Square, his Divine Will swept through it, quickly sensing Xingpan's aura.

Xingpan was still in the Heavenly Emperor Palace; no one had driven him out yet.

The Immortal Court Palace was also filled with people. A sweep of Ding Huan's Divine Will showed that the Heavenly Emperor's Position was vacant, a sign of respect for Xingpan.

However, two people were seated on either side of the throne.

On the left was a young man, his cultivation seemed at the peak of the Immortal Venerable Realm.

On the right sat a burly man, his Dao Rhythm wasn't apparent, but a powerful aura emanated from him, clearly a body cultivation expert, likely a Witch Clan elite.

Emperor Jin He and Emperor Ping Wei were nowhere to be seen, but there were a few familiar faces, like Southern Dao Lord Ju Feihe, Qi Fangfeng, and Qi Yongjian, father and son.

Ju Feihe, who was at the late Immortal Emperor stage in the Pangu Great World, Ding Huan now realized was merely at the late Immortal Venerable stage.

However, the late Immortal Venerable stage in the Pangu Great World seemed different from other places, mainly in Dao Rhythm.

One might even say that the Immortal Venerables of the Pangu Great World were slightly stronger than those elsewhere.

Thus, advancing to Immortal Venerable here was more challenging.

"Our Pangu Great World is vast and boundless. Though internal strife is nearly non-existent, external threats still loom.

Emperor Xingpan has been grievously wounded. Although we strive to find the materials needed for his body restoration, such materials are exceedingly rare and elusive."

Du Wuya, as a member of the Pangu Great World, dared to propose at this moment: "I suggest temporarily appointing a new Acting Heavenly Emperor...

After all, even the Mortal World cannot go a day without a ruler, let alone our Pangu Great World?"

Ding Huan saw that the speaker was the young Immortal Venerable seated on the left of the throne.

"I fully agree with Emperor Du Xing. The Great Immortal Governor has laid such a solid foundation for our Pangu Great World. If we cannot defend it, we would be failing the Great Immortal Governor."

A slightly hoarse voice chimed in.

The speaker was Bu Yue.

This guy had been sent to seek help from the Witch Clan in the Chaos Zone years ago, only to disappear.

Unexpectedly, after many years, he had returned to the Immortal Court.

No only had he returned, but he seemed to have retained his position unscathed.

Witnessing his survival skills in the political arena, it was clear that he was a natural.

Ding Huan walked into the Immortal Court Palace, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

"Great Immortal Governor?"

Qi Fangfeng's voice rang out in amazement. He never thought he would see the Great Immortal Governor again.

"Commander Qi, long time no see." Ding Huan was delighted to see these old friends.

Many familiar faces were missing, likely casualties from the battle against Shi Keling, while others were presumably healing.

Ding Huan walked straight to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.

At that moment, everyone, whether familiar with him or not, stood up in unison to greet him, "Great Immortal Governor."

The throne of the Heavenly Emperor remained empty. Even Du Changya, who greatly coveted the throne, dared not sit on it.

But if Ding Huan sat on it, no one would dare utter a word of protest.

For Ding Huan, the Great Immortal Governor, was no longer just an official title but a symbol in the Pangu Great World.

Many Immortal Cities and Immortal Sects even had statues of Great Immortal Governor Ding Huan.

"I hope everyone is well," Ding Huan stood up to return their courtesy.

After everyone was seated again, Du Changya stood up and saluted Ding Huan, "Du Changya greets the Great Immortal Governor."

"Are you Emperor Du Xing's disciple?" Ding Huan asked, looking at Du Changya.

Du Changya respectfully replied, "Yes, my master and the Heavenly Emperor's issues have other truths to them. This matter truly has nothing to do with my master.

My master is straightforward and doesn't know how to bend, so he does whatever others ask him to, with full effort..."

Halfway through his words, it was clear he had more to say but stopped.

Ding Huan understood. Du Changya meant that Emperor Du Xing was just following orders and bore no personal grudges against Xingpan.

He also hinted that Du Changya himself wouldn't hold a grudge against Xingpan for killing his master, Emperor Du Xing.

Ding Huan nodded, not planning to involve himself in the feud between Xingpan and Emperor Du Xing.

"Feng Ju of the Witch Clan greets the Great Immortal Governor." Seeing Ding Huan not losing his temper at Du Changya, the burly man on the right stood up to salute.

He represented the Witch Clan and respected Du Changya.

Before Ding Huan could ask, Southern Dao Lord Ju Feihe quickly said:

"After Emperor Xingpan was grievously wounded, he still remembered to unify the Chaos Zone under the Pangu Great World.

After the fierce battle with Zuo Shanyi, we lost many cultivators, and many Immortal Court cultivators had no will to fight.

But Du Changya, as a Banner Commander, repeatedly won battles. The Witch Clan was also moved by Du Commander and thus submitted to our Immortal Court."

Clearly, Ju Feihe was worried that Ding Huan might misunderstand and act against Du Changya.

Ding Huan nodded and looked at Bu Yue, "Immortal Prime Minister Bu, your search for help lasted quite a while."

Bu Yue's face turned pale, knowing Ding Huan looked down on him.

He immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply, "It wasn't my intention. The Witch Clan detained me, and they wouldn't listen to me."

"It was only after Du Commander brought the Chaos Zone into the Pangu Great World that I had a chance to return to the Immortal Court."

Ding Huan ignored Bu Yue, turning to Feng Ju below, "Witch Friend Feng Ju, are you the Clan Leader of the Witch Clan?"

Though it was the first time meeting Ding Huan, Feng Ju had heard of his reputation and quickly replied:

"I am one of the two Witch Pillars of the Witch Clan. If the Great Immortal Governor has any instructions, Feng Ju will surely fulfill them."

"Good. I have a friend named Wen Zhixi who went to the Chaos Zone. Do you know of her?"

Feng Ju was stunned, unsure how to respond to such a request.

Ju Feihe stepped in once more:

"Great Immortal Governor, I know Fairy Zhixi. She and her mother, Wu Wanting, came to the Immortal Court looking for you. Upon learning of your departure, she was very disappointed.

They then stayed at Emperor Ping Wei's Tianwei Mountain to cultivate until seven years ago, when Star Lord Ji Cang discovered the Divine River in the Land of Divine Origin..."

Ding Huan's heart skipped a beat. The Divine River was found?

When he left, he had sealed the Divine River with the Ascension Tower, cutting off the God's fortune. How was it discovered?

"Ji Cang discovered the Divine River but did not dare act rashly and reported it to Emperor Ping Wei. Later, Emperor Ping Wei found traces of your Immortal Array at the Divine River, and he and Emperor Jin He explored it further.

Fairy Zhixi, knowing this, wanted to follow and investigate. Her mother, Wu Wanting, worried about her, so she accompanied her.

But after they went, there was no news. Later, Dao Friend Yishui and I searched once but found nothing and dared not go deeper, so we returned."

After Ju Feihe finished, Ding Huan frowned.

He had checked the Divine River before and found nothing special.

But he had only checked the end near the God Clan and sealed that part with the Ascension Tower.

As for the other end of the Divine River, he had not explored it.

In his perception, the Divine River was only a million miles long, so could there be more mystery?

"Brother..." Xingpan's voice came, and Ding Huan saw Xingpan's weak Primordial Spirit Body.

Ding Huan quickly stood up, "Brother, I'm the one who implicated you."

He originally planned to resolve the issues here and then look for Xingpan to create a new body for him. But learning of his arrival, Xingpan had come to him.

"Haha..." Xingpan laughed heartily, "What are brothers for if not to stand by each other?"

"Brother, why not come with me and leave this place, forget about being the Heavenly Emperor." Ding Huan intended to take Xingpan away this time.

There was no point being the Heavenly Emperor in the flawed Pangu Great World.

"If my brother doesn't mind my Primordial Spirit Body, I'd love to leave here and venture forth with you." Xingpan agreed without hesitation.

He couldn't find the material to restore his body and staying here was torturous.

Ding Huan then asked, "Has a woman named Qi Ning and a man named Cang Diyi come to the Pangu Great World looking for me? They're not from the Pangu Great World."

He even drew their portraits.

"Great Immortal Governor, having control over the Cultivator Army of the Pangu Great World, I can confirm they've never entered." Du Changya responded confidently.

Ding Huan was a bit disappointed, knowing Qi Ning and Cang Diyi would be much slower than the Cosmic Pot.

Even though he had traveled various realms and returned to the Pangu Great World, they might still be on their way.

Looking at Du Changya, Ding Huan said:

"You were right earlier, the Immortal Court cannot go a day without a Heavenly Emperor. Xingpan is leaving with me, from now on, you are the next Heavenly Emperor of the Pangu Great World."

Du Changya was stunned. Though he coveted the position, he knew Xingpan and his master were arch-enemies.

Even if Xingpan was magnanimous, he wouldn't give the throne to him.

But Xingpan said nothing, and the Great Immortal Governor proactively handed the throne to him.

In the Pangu Great World, the words of the Great Immortal Governor were more authoritative than anyone, even Xingpan.

Ding Huan's declaration legitimized his reign as the Heavenly Emperor.
