Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 1644: One Cause, One Effect. One Bite, One Sip

“Mad, he’s gone completely mad!” Situ Lang frothed at the mouth with horror when he heard that Qi Fengyun had changed the nation’s name to the Immortal Nation. He wanted to run away on the spot.

As strong as the one on the altar was—perhaps beyond immortal king and having reached the legendary immortal emperor realm—he was still heavily injured and unable to shift his position. Once Myriadsea’s true heavyweights arrived, Lu Yun would die.

Despite that, impulsive madness shone out of Xia Xu’s face and he immediately changed the kingdom’s name to the Immortal Nation. He also hailed himself as its emperor—the Emperor of Immortal Nation!

Of course, this title was a gift from Lu Yun. Xia Xu’s cultivation had reached peak void realm and he would soon set foot into immortality. Once he did so, he would be summoned by the Truecloud Sect’s world of immortals and undergo the ascent protocol.

Xia Xu didn’t mind that at all. He’d spent his entire life cowering and huddling in on himself. While he looked to be the glorious king of a nation, he was really just a slave. He would do something great this time! Even if he went out with a bang, that would still be a life well spent.

Situ Lang was weak at the knees with fear, but Xia Xu and Qi Fengyun were already making preparations for war.

……

“Are they courting death?!” Dongfang Ao squawked with outrage when he heard the news. Though his kingdom was called Ruina Immortal Nation, their name was still Ruina. How dare a puny Truecloud Nation call themselves the Immortal Nation?!

And that Truecloud slave Xia Xu—he’d been gifted their surname! Now he was the Emperor of Immortal Nation?? Did he know what death looked like?!

“Men! Gather our troops! I want three million ready to march!” Dongfang Ao’s chest heaved at an alarming pace.

“Ao’er.” Dongfang Mo suddenly appeared by his titular son’s side.

“Royal father!” Dongfang Ao blinked and knelt. “Greetings to royal father.”

“You can let Immortal Nation be.”

“Huh?” Dongfang Ao blinked with incomprehension.

As the crown prince of Ruina Immortal Nation, he was in charge of the nation’s affairs since his official father didn’t pay attention to secular matters. If he didn’t want Dongfang Ao to continue overseeing the matter, did that mean he was taking back the crown prince position?

A gloomy look peered through Dongfang Ao’s eyes. However, he still respectfully gave his assent.

Dongfang Mo held his forehead. “You are still to oversee the nation’s affairs. If you cannot manage them, undo your seal to suppress whatever is causing trouble. What I mean is that you can ignore the Immortal Nation that’s just appeared.”

“Huh?” Dongfang Ao blinked again, this time understanding his father’s meaning. “But royal father, are you acknowledging the existence of Immortal Nation since you’re using their name?”

“Yes,” Dongfang Mo nodded. “There are many old farts in Myriadsea World. Our immortal dao survives only because we occupy Ruina. However, I cannot hold on for long. A fellow daoist has arrived from outside the realm and our goals align, so we are not enemies.

“Do you know what I have been doing?” Weariness appeared on Dongfang Mo’s face.

“Yes,” Dongfang Ao answered. “Royal father is trying to construct the sequence of immortal dao in Myriadsea World, so that it becomes a world of immortal dao sequence. The guardians of sequence are royal father’s subordinates. This humble subject would not be able to command them otherwise.”

Dongfang Ao had set foot into immortality long ago, but there was a seal in his body that sealed away his cultivation realm. Thus, he’d been able to present himself as a cultivator to the rest of the world.

“You are correct,” Dongfang Mo was pleased. “Myriadsea World’s core essence is a world of sequence. Countless sequences interweave with each other and great daos are too numerous to count. There are also more people than just me who wish to refine it.

“They’re almost as strong as I am, with a few who are stronger. They’re all titans who are survivors from age old eras!

“It’s almost impossible for me to build a world of immortal dao sequence here. Thank goodness that Lu Yun has come. He bears a brand new dao that will make the immortal dao stronger!” A new light shone in Dongfang Mo’s eyes. “I can tell that Lu Yun values immortal dao even more than I do. The great dao that he carries was even derived from immortal dao!

“He is Fuxi’s heir and obeys Fuxi’s will. He will suppress the orders of the fourth realm!

“The Hongmeng has shattered and the emperor gone missing. I must follow his last wish even more thoroughly and ensure a world of immortal dao sequence comes to fruition! Perhaps the emperor once saw the events of today, which is why he sent me here to prepare this world.” Dongfang Mo alternated between joy and sorrow.

“Then, father, what of the spirit dao that you saw a hint of before?” Dongfang Ao changed his honorific for his master.

“Spirit dao may be stronger than immortal dao, but it is less than immortal dao bolstered with formula dao. Perhaps spirit dao can become part of immortal dao like formula dao has done so!”

Dongfang Mo had used spirit dao to suppress order in the previous thirty-three loops, ensuring that the fourth realm would prosper. He ultimately perished in the end, spirit dao withered, and countless great daos continued on their way. Then came the great devastation, the termination of a great cycle, and the beginning of a new one.

The new one followed the same trajectories, the same lives, the same destinies.

“Thus, stay out of the Immortal Nation’s affairs. If we interfere, other daos will take advantage of the opening to destroy immortal dao,” Dongfang Mo breathed out slowly.

He’d come to Myriadsea World before the fall of the original Hongmeng and had been depressed for a time after learning how history had progressed. However, he wouldn’t wallow in pain. The original emperor had chosen Dongfang Mo not because he was the wielder of immortal dao, but because his will was resolute.

Hongjun, Fuxi, Pangu, and God had planted the seeds of immortal dao in the great wilderness of the Central Hongmeng because of Dongfang Mo’s existence in the world of sequence. No one had fathomed that Lu Yun would appear in that world with a new immortal dao and an even more wondrous formula dao.

The cause and effect, the bite and sip were all unexpected changes. Nothing had been predetermined.

Lu Yun was now an aberration in the cycle of reincarnation. He’d caused a tiny splash to raising a giant wave, and was slowly building up momentum to upend the entire river of destiny. Of course, everyone would be reborn after the great devastation. But of this, Dongfang Mo remained unaware.

“So let Lu Yun do whatever he wants to do! Give him Ruina and the Immortal Myriadtree if he wants it! I’m going to use this marvelous formula dao to derive my spirit dao and find a way to meld it into immortal dao as well.”

etvolare's Thoughts

Okay, I'm a little confused. Why did Dongfang Ao drop "royal father"? And reminder, Dongfang Mo is his master, but seeing as Dongfang Ao is the crown prince and Dongfang Mo is the king, they're father and son in name.

And re. the title. One ring, one Middle Earth. One bubble tea to rule them all.
