Within the Hall of Human Heart, ten thousand Heartfires swayed to the whims of Chen Dengming.

In one Heartfire, the rugged and domineering face of Dongfang Huayuan appeared, causing the Heartfire to stabilize and even drift outwards, projecting a voice as arrogant as ever.

“Stinky kid, you really aren’t dead, huh?

What’s the situation within the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm now?

Since you contacted me so quickly, it seems the Longevity old man and Qu Shenzong must have won big.”

Hearing Dongfang Huayuan’s familiar rough and unrestrained voice warmed Chen Dengming’s heart, but thinking of the Ancestor’s current predicament, he truly couldn’t manage a smile, and he responded.

...

“Junior thanks Elder for your previous sacrifice to save me; otherwise, Junior would likely have no chance to contact you now.”

Dongfang Huayuan impatiently said, “Don’t be so formal with me; I hate your presumptuous airs.

I didn’t save you just for your sake, but because I didn’t want the Human God Palace to fall into the clutches of that dead old bird.

If you were alive, perhaps your Ancestor would have pulled you out of the fire, and the Human God Palace wouldn’t have been lost.

Me losing a Split soul isn’t much of a loss…”

Chen Dengming couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

Dongfang Huayuan was, as always, straightforward.

But as the saying goes, judge one by his deeds, not his words, and though no human is perfect, the man had saved his life after all.

Mulling it over, he recounted to Dongfang Huayuan the events that transpired afterwards in the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm, including the news that the Ancestor, Lu Xiucheng, had now sacrificed himself.

Dongfang Huayuan sighed upon hearing this.

“I never imagined that the Longevity old man, so calculating and crafty, would just like that sacrifice himself…

It must be a suicide.

With his wisdom and means, he would never die in the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Only he could take his own life, and only Heaven could take it.”

Chen Dengming didn’t expect Dongfang Huayuan to have such a deep understanding of the Ancestor, considering how he usually called him Longevity old man or old turtle, and he agreed.

“Indeed, Ancestor already had a resolve to die before this plan, mentioning his severe injuries, limited lifespan, and the low prospects for He Dao.

Thus he chose death, aiming to slay the Demon Lord and shield the world from disaster…”

“A low prospect for He Dao…

shielding the world from disaster…”

With a tone filled with a mix of sighing, mockery, and resentment, Dongfang Huayuan said, “He truly had little chance of achieving He Dao, or to be more precise, many of us have slim odds of achieving it.

This is the drawback created by the fragmentation of the Five Dao Systems of Immortal Origin.

The Longevity old man used to be someone extremely close to achieving He Dao, unfortunately, pitifully…

However, the future might bring new opportunities, and I absolutely refuse to settle for a mere Divine Transformation.”

“The drawback of the Five Dao Systems of Immortal Origin being fragmented?” Chen Dengming was about to ask when Dongfang Huayuan cut him off.

“These questions will become clear to you after your own Divine Transformation.

It’s useless to discuss them now.

You say you’re trapped inside a Heavenly Prison formed by the will of the Insane Heavenly Dao and that you can’t escape?

No wonder I could not sense the Human God Palace; it seems the Heavenly Prison has blocked it…

So, reaching out to me now, you want my help to break free?”

“That’s not it.”

Chen Dengming naturally did not plan to ask Dongfang Huayuan to help him escape; the other might not even have the power to do what even Qu Shenzong couldn’t.

“Elder Dongfang, I simply want you to help me retrieve the Human God Palace to prevent it from being completely assimilated and devoured by the will of the Insane Heavenly Dao.

This would be a significant loss for the Human Immortal Dao System.”

Dongfang Huayuan had actually anticipated Chen Dengming would ask for help, but deliberately changed the subject to hear Chen Dengming say it himself.

Now hearing it, he couldn’t help but ponder oddly, “Not only have you inherited the Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification, but you also took over the Human Immortal Dao System and obtained the Hall of Human Heart.

Could it be you have no desire for the Human God Palace?

If the Insane Heavenly Dao Will assimilates the Human God Palace, once the Heavenly Dao Will sets things right, you would still have a chance to acquire the Human God Palace.”

Chen Dengming laughed heartily, “What, could it be you don’t need the Human God Palace?

If you don’t, I’d be willing to take it off your hands without complaint.

But if you need the Human God Palace, I certainly won’t contend with you for it…”

“Are your words true?” asked Dongfang Huayuan.

Chen Dengming spoke indifferently, “Junior has never been one to covet what others desire.

Everyone has their own fortune and Dao.

Whether it’s the Human Immortal path or the Heavenly Immortal path, there are many branches, and even if one aspires for the Dao to be united, there is no harm in following one’s own way…and then supplementing from other paths offers an even better fit.”

“Well said about going your own way; that goes right to my heart.

No wonder you’re someone who, like me, started out from Nanxun.”

Dongfang Huayuan felt a jolt in his heart and burst out laughing, now understanding that he had perhaps underestimated this fellow countryman from Nanxun.

He had once considered taking over the Hall of Human Heart, but recalling how the doctrines of Human Immortal spirit didn’t match with his own state of mind, he repeatedly dismissed the idea, desiring to follow his own Dao and complete his own spiritual path to forge a different route within the Human Immortal Dao.

Unexpectedly, this whippersnapper from Longevity Sect, his own countryman, shared the same thoughts.

In Dongfang Huayuan’s eyes, this was someone with a broad vision and great aspirations.

“Fine, I will now try to help you seize control of the Human God Palace.”

…

After a short while.

With the help of Dongfang Huayuan, a Deity Transformation Dao Lord who had already mastered control of the Human God Palace, Chen Dengming successfully retrieved the Human God Palace from within the Phoenix Dao Fire.

At this moment, deep in his spirit, the Hall of Human Heart and the Human God Palace floated silently, nurturing his spirit.

A surge of pure spiritual power, accompanied by an indescribable Dao Force, flowed from the base of the twelve pillars within the Human God Palace, merging into his river of spirit, glittering with iridescence.
