The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2886 - Right and Wrong

Chapter 2886: Right and Wrong

In the sky high above, everything returned to its previous state of tranquility. Ji Wudao disappeared. It seemed he had been defeated.

“Ye Futian won.”

Everyone below looked up at that white-haired figure. In this duel between the two strongest men of the current generation, Ye Futian had actually suppressed Ji Wudao.

The number one enchanting genius in the Original Realm had defeated the most powerful proud son in the seven realm—the reigning Heavenly Emperor, Ji Wudao.

No wonder he’s the existence who defeated seven emperors with one strike, many people marveled secretly in their hearts.

After this battle, Ye Futian was not just the number one genius talent in the Original Realm—he was the most powerful genius talent in the world today. There was no one who could even come close to him.

The spear disappeared. Ye Futian turned into a phantom and vanished as well.

Although Ji Wudao was defeated, he remained a major threat; his potential was incredibly frightening. Ji Wudao, who had cultivated the Chaotic Heavenly Swallowing Method, would inevitably grow without limits or boundaries. There would surely be yet another fierce battle in the future.

Coupled with the current turmoil in the Seven Realms, he needed to elevate his strength as soon as possible to reach the level of the six emperors.

The news of this battle quickly swept across the Seven Realms and the God’s Ruins Continent in the Original Realm, rocking the world. At the same time, another piece of news was making the rounds: not long ago, Donghuang the Great had wanted to pass the throne on to Ye Futian, naming him “Futian the Great.” However, Ye Futian rejected his offer, who did not take over the throne in the Divine Prefecture.

This news instantly caused a shocking storm. Countless voices said that Donghuang the Great wanted to make amends towards Emperor Ye Qing out of guilt, thus returning the throne to Emperor Ye Qing’s descendant. However, gradually, many began to learn that Ye Futian was the master of the Divine Prefecture and the son of Donghuang the Great.

At the same time, Ye Futian was also the descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, which was why he went to the Heaven Realm to fight Ji Wudao. He was the true heir of the Heaven Realm.

The Heavenly Path in the ninety-ninth heaven was not the residual consciousness left over from the ancient Heavenly Path, nor was it the Heavenly Emperor. Instead, it was an alternative form of the Sovereign Princess. Most people were unfamiliar with the daughter of the former Heavenly Emperor, especially among the cultivators in the Lower Worlds; very few people even knew of her existence. Only people in the upper level knew something of him and the kind of shocking existence she was or that she wanted to remake the existence of the Heavenly Path.

Because of this reason, the battle in which she fell seemed non-existent to the world, and little was known about it.

Only now, with so much information coming to light that some secrets had begun to emerge in all of the realms, made known to more and more people.

...

When Ye Futian returned to the ninety-ninth heaven in the Heaven Realm, most of the cultivators were still there. The cultivators from Heavenly Imperial Palace were in attendance as well.

When they saw Ye Futian return, they knew the outcome of the battle. For the people of the Heavenly Imperial Palace, it was a complicated emotion, especially those from the older generation. They thought that Ji Wudao was the successor chosen by the Sovereign Princess, but that turned out not to be the truth. It was Ye Futian who had been hiding behind the scenes all along.

He was the true successor of the lineage of the Heaven Realm. It was in his veins that the blood of the Heavenly Emperor flowed.

Great Skylords Black and White Almighty, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Nine Star Lords, and all the other cultivators in the Heavenly Imperial Palace were there. In front of them were two more figures. They were the two Great Empresses that Ye Futian had seen in the Donghuang Imperial Palace before, and they were here now.

At this moment, Ye Futian understood that they used to belong to the Heavenly Imperial Palace and must be followers of his mother. Therefore, they came here in person to take back the Heaven Realm.

“Ji Wudao betrayed the Heaven Realm, and from this day forward, he will be expelled from the Heavenly Imperial Palace. He is no longer a part of the Heavenly Imperial Palace. Still, a traitor of the Heavenly Imperial Palace,” announced a Great Empress to the cultivators of the Heavenly Imperial Palace. Although this was the conclusion that everyone had already known, their feelings were inevitable and expected.

They had watched Ji Wudao grow up until this day and had always regarded Ji Wudao as the future Heavenly Emperor, waiting for him to come into his own.

But just when Ji Wudao embarked on the Path of the Emperors, and just as he was about to be named the Heavenly Emperor, the true heir apparent appeared. And this meant that Ji Wudao was to assist him instead. How many people could bear such a reversal of fortune and accept it willingly?

Furthermore, he was Ji Wudao, who was incredibly arrogant and conceited. Ji Wudao, who thought so highly of himself, had dedicated himself to reviving the Heaven Realm and to avenging the master. He had even taken the unification of the Seven Realms and took charge of the universe. How could someone with such wild ambition be willing to serve under another?

With everything taken into consideration, Ji Wudao’s betrayal was inevitable. His only sin was that he was too excellent. If he had not been so excellent and without such loft ambitions, he might not have committed treason and would have served Ye Futian willingly.

What had Ji Wudao done wrong?

He had devoured many cultivators. And because Chaotic Heavenly Swallowing Method was deemed an evil method, he was also viewed as an evil character by the outsiders.

But for the Heaven Realm, Ji Wudao had indeed done something wrong. He had always taken the revival of the Heaven Realm as his mission and fought for its cause. He suffered in silence for years, developing himself quietly.

The problem was that he thought too highly of himself and had too much ambition. He thought of himself as the one chosen by fate and ought to be the one shouldering entirety of this mission.

In actuality, this was not what the Sovereign Princess wanted him to do. His existence was just that of a trusted disciple. When the truth was revealed, it turned out that he was here to assist Ye Futian.

“I have a question.” At this moment, the Pagoda King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, came forward. He looked at Ye Futian and asked, “Donghuang separated himself from the Heaven Realm once. Why should his descendant now be in charge of it again? What is the will of the Princess?

“In addition, if the Princess doesn’t want Ji Wudao to inherit the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, why did she teach him the Nine Dragons True Qi? Ji Wudao has dedicated himself to reviving the Heavenly Imperial Palace all these years, and now he has been labeled a traitor. This is a bit too much...”

The Pagoda King had fought against Ye Futian before, but this had been in the land of the Original Realm many years ago before discovering the Gods’ Ruins Continent.

“Who else thinks that? Or is there anybody else with another opinion?” The Great Empress looked around at the crowd.

“I, too, was wondering about the same thing,” the Melody King responded.

No one else came forward or said anything.

The Great Empress nodded slightly before she spoke.

“The will of the Princess need not be explained to the likes of you. As for the Nine Dragons True Qi, the Princess did not mind that Ji Wudao would inherit the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. The throne of the Heavenly Emperor does not need to be in conflict with assisting the young master. But Ji Wudao made his own choice after knowing the truth, disrespecting the young master, equivalent to betrayal. How could there be any questions about this?

“As for Ji Wudao’s way of doing things, it has always run counter to the beliefs held by the Princess. All of you are guilty of letting him do whatever he wished before. But for our sake, I will not look into it. However, if anyone is willing to follow Ji Wudao, then go. Leave now,” the Great Empress said while surveying everyone.

Everyone was speechless when they heard the words of the Great Empress. Ji Wudao did nothing wrong. But then again, who else had done something wrong?

Everything that Ji Wudao had was also bestowed upon him by the grace of the Heavenly Imperial Palace. The only thing was that he couldn’t bear the truth of him not being the chosen one.

Ye Futian looked at everyone, and he felt a complicated emotion inside. The Divine Prefecture was now left for Donghuang Diyuan to inherit. Then what of the Heaven Realm? Who would inherit that?

He had no use for power or authority, but fate had placed all of this on his shoulders, pushing him forward. In some matters, when did he ever have a say in any of this?!
