The proposal by Anwen was unanimously approved. Yenu also believed that bringing back two inhabitable continents to the Immortal Heaven was in itself a great achievement, and one that was by no means small. With such an accomplishment, it would be easy to offset the death of Xu Ran, and it would also greatly enhance the status of those returning to the human race.
Moreover, what could be a more direct way to present the Path of Eternal Night than through two habitable continents?
As long as the path was recognized, the rewards from the Dao Court in this regard were always quite generous.
The plan to return to the Immortal Heaven was set, and now the challenge was how to implement it, especially how to propel Yaori to a new orbit. If Yaori could be propelled, then moving the continents themselves would not be a problem.
At the beginning of the Era of Yaori, the force of the River of Blood was used to pull Yaori. At that time, the human race used all kinds of methods, ultimately relying on Qian Ye’s ascension to greatness to pull Yaori into the realm of Eternal Night.
Now, moving Yaori again required the power of the River of Blood. But with Qian Ye and Lilith working together, the combined strength of the First Drop and the Second Drop, along with the support of Yentong, it was no longer difficult to harness the power of the River of Blood, and the force they could exert was much greater than before.
However, even so, moving Yaori remained extremely difficult, mainly because the power of the River of Blood was too ethereal, vast, and hard to control.
Qian Ye gazed at the panoramic view of Eternal Night, his eyes fixed on the East Sea.
A few days later, on the shores of the East Sea, the unbelievably massive body of the Void Whale floated on the surface. At this moment, it was over ten thousand meters long from head to tail.
Qian Ye felt that even though he hadn’t seen it for just a few days, it seemed to have grown larger.
The moment the Void Whale saw Qian Ye, it was delighted, but it still took considerable effort to make out Qian Ye clearly. This was indeed a bit challenging for the whale, as in its eyes, Qian Ye was like a speck of dust, and a particularly small one at that.
“Xuan Si’s final strike was intended for this, no wonder. Your human race always likes to do things that are inexplicable, but there’s no helping it; you lack the necessary strength! Alright, the little guy’s last wish is fulfilled, and I, the old man, should now go and roam the void. Come, give me a push, but be gentle, don’t strain my waist.”
Looking at the uniformly round body of the Void Whale, Qian Ye couldn’t find where the waist was.
Lifting the Void Whale, even with Qian Ye’s current strength, which was already unparalleled in Eternal Night, was not an easy task. Fortunately, such a grand endeavor didn’t require him to act alone. The Holy Mountain appeared in the void, and Qian Ye and Lilith each exerted their domains, straining with all their might to finally lift the Void Whale out of the water. Yentong gathered the strength of many powerful figures on the Holy Mountain, creating a domain of ten thousand meters. In the domain, four colossal nests, each hundreds of meters high, appeared.
Four blood giants emerged from the nests, walked under the Void Whale, and exerted their strength to lift it. These giants, each a hundred meters tall, had tremendous power, although they looked like mice compared to the Void Whale. Surprisingly, they managed to lift the whale up inch by inch.
In just a moment, the primal force of Qian Ye and the others was nearly exhausted, while the Void Whale had only been lifted to a height of a thousand meters, still far from fully returning to the void.
At this point, Yenu stepped in, slicing a beam of sword light across a thousand meters, cutting into the Void Whale’s tail. The whale, in pain, whipped its tail, smashing into the East Sea with such force that it created a terrifying crack. A whole piece of land was cut off and transformed into a floating island.
But with this strike, the Void Whale finally broke free from the East Sea and entered the void.
It glared angrily at Yenu, saying, “You hurt me!”
Qian Ye, standing beside, pondered for a moment, then said, “So, you can enter the void by yourself!”
The Void Whale’s imposing presence immediately weakened, and it said, “Who said that? I, the old man, still need assistance. Well, I’m going to roam the void now.”
“Wait,” Qian Ye called out to the Void Whale, “There’s still a small matter that needs your help, and it concerns the future of the entire human race. Only you can do it!”
“Haha! I, the old man, am always so important. What is it?”
“Well, follow me,” Qian Ye led the Void Whale towards Qinland.
After a while, the Void Whale stared at Qinland, woodenly saying, “You want me to drag this giant? Are you joking?”
“Actually, it’s quite simple. It looks big, but it’s very light,” Anwen appeared, waving his hands to display countless numbers and formulas. “To move it, we only need this much force initially, and the force required later will be even less. You won’t be doing it alone; the River of Blood and the Holy Mountain of Eternal Night will assist.”
“How much force is needed?” the Void Whale asked.
Anwen immediately listed the formulas, saying, “This is such a simple problem, you must understand. Look, see, it doesn’t require much force, does it?”
The Void Whale, with dozens of eyes, stared at the formula, composed of countless tiny characters covering several square meters, for a long time, and finally said, “Hmm, it doesn’t require much. I’ll help you once!”
Months passed in the blink of an eye.
The human race began a migration of unprecedented scale. Qinland and Yue Land were chosen to follow Yaori back to the Immortal Heaven. Simultaneously, another continent was selected from the upper lands to follow Yaori. This new continent, gradually becoming suitable for habitation, had become rich in resources due to prolonged exposure to the sun’s intense heat.
This new land would serve as a resource base for the human race returning to the Immortal Heaven, providing a solid foundation for them.
Some humans who originally lived on Qinland and Yue Land did not want to leave, while some on the Western Land wanted to return to the Immortal Heaven. As a result, countless floating airships traveled back and forth between the two continents every day.
At the same time, Yenu revealed the true nature of the Floating Land. This land, with some mobility, was the carrier that transported the exiles to the realm of Eternal Night long ago, a larger and more primitive version of Qian Palace.
After being reactivated, the Floating Land became an excellent tool for dragging and pulling continents, second only to the incredibly strong Void Whale and surpassing the Holy Mountain.
In the Great Hall of the Holy Mountain in Eternal Night, the room was filled to capacity, with no empty seats.
Many powerful figures of Eternal Night were secretly looking at a newly added area, discussing among themselves. In that area, the seat was occupied by the human general, Gongyuan Marshal.
Above the hall, the shadow of the Holy Mountain appeared, and this time, a new peak seat was added, occupied by the King of Qingyang, Zhang Boqian. The other three seats were still occupied by the Queen of Night, the Emperor of Demons, and the Spider Queen, but one seat remained empty.
“Silence!” a clear voice resounded throughout the hall. Standing in the Speaker’s position was no longer a demon, but the King of Linjiang!
At this moment, his aura was completely different from before, and there was a hint of the might of wind and thunder in his movements, indicating that he had become a Heavenly King. Previously, in the battle against Jian Nan, the King of Linjiang, fighting from a position of weakness, finally expelled his inner demon and, after the battle, reached the pinnacle of Heavenly Kings, catching the last bit of good fortune of the human race.
The hall fell silent, and all the representatives stood up, waiting for the moment that would be recorded in history.
The King of Linjiang said in a deep voice, “This new parliament is unprecedented. Our human race officially joins the parliament of Eternal Night, and from now on, we will discuss matters on equal terms with all races. The war between Dawn and Eternal Night has come to an end.”
A few claps of applause echoed in the hall, and soon, the applause grew louder, merging into a thunderous roar!
From the rise of the Empire to the present, 1200 years, the war between Eternal Night and Dawn had finally ended. When peace arrived, all the powerful figures of Eternal Night suddenly felt that time was so beautiful, no longer worrying about descendants falling in battle or mourning the loss of old friends.
The King of Linjiang waited for the applause to subside, then continued, “Yaori will soon depart, and the channel of the Dark Origin has been completely closed. From now on, this world will be a place where both Eternal Night and Dawn coexist, no longer narrow, no longer limited. Whether it’s the holy race or the human race, both have infinite possibilities for development!”
More applause followed.
“Now, please welcome the King of both Eternal Night and Dawn, the overseer of all races, the First Drop of the River of Blood, the master of Chaos, His Majesty Qian Ye, to ascend to the Holy Mountain!”
Amidst the thunderous cheers, Qian Ye and Yentong appeared, hand in hand, ascending step by step to the Holy Mountain.
Qian Ye suddenly sighed, “I once said I would take you to the Holy Mountain, I never thought it would happen like this.”
Yentong smiled lightly, “Back then, with your meager strength, you dared to talk about the Holy Mountain, just like a foolish, overconfident boy.”
Qian Ye’s face turned slightly red, “I was indeed arrogant back then.”
“Arrogance is the youth of life!” Yentong’s smile was as radiant as a flower.
The two climbed to the top, and Qian Ye helped Yentong sit in the empty seat, then looked up.
Above all the seats, a throne appeared in the void, with a balance engraved on the back, representing Eternal Night on the left and Dawn on the right.
Qian Ye took a step forward, reaching the throne, hesitated slightly, and then sat down.
This time, there was no applause, as countless powerful figures rose, saluted, and the hall fell into a solemn silence.
Qian Ye extended his hand, and all the powerful figures sat back down.
Next, the formal proceedings of the parliament began, with the King of Linjiang and the Everburning Flame co-chairing the session, starting to deliberate on the rules of the new parliament. Each clause was read, deliberated, and voted on. Qian Ye remained silent throughout, and his words were not needed. As the supreme chairman of the entire parliament, he had the power to veto all matters, uniquely so. Only the five peak seats of the Holy Mountain acting together could overturn Qian Ye’s veto.
The process of deliberating the rules was very long, but the participants were all top-tier powerful figures, and spending a day, a week, or even a month deliberating was not a problem.
However, in this sacred moment, there were still frivolous individuals. In the human representative area, bordering the demons on the left and the bloodkin on the right, Song Zining quietly poked Anwen beside him, “I’ve collected most of the materials, and I’ve made a batch of the key parts you designed. After this meeting, we can start the work. How’s your progress with the Celestial Mechanism Arts?”
Anwen whispered, “I’ve read through the basic parts, but many principles are still unclear to me. Also, I feel that most of the theories considered basic need to be re-verified.”
“Right, this is a big project. We need to build the computer first before we can proceed to the next step.”
“Computer? Oh, that name is good, simpler than ‘computational machine.’ I think the project’s progress can be sped up, but you need to help me deal with Master Pratektik!”
Seeing Anwen’s worried face, Song Zining was very curious, “What did you do this time?”
“Actually, nothing much… just… that…”
“Spit it out!” Curiosity was always Song Zining’s weakness.
“I just secretly dismantled two tracks from the Hall of Fate. They should be on their way to the construction site now.”
Song Zining was speechless and slapped Anwen’s shoulder heavily, “Cunning!”
