" Shen Mu walked out through the Southern Heavenly Gate. A fierce battle must have been fought here; half the gate lay smashed, and many heavenly craftsmen were at work repairing it.
He followed the Heavenly River downstream.
Looking back, he saw that the Heaven Court had already risen to the very dome of the Yuan Realm; its departure from the Yuan Realm was only a matter of time. Just then a violent tremor came from the Yuan Realm.
Following the fluctuation with his gaze, Shen Mu saw demigod after demigod raising their arms high, bearing up a vast heavenly palace and flying toward the Heaven Court. Those demigods were radiant with joy, tremendously excited.
That heavenly palace was the palace of the God-Emperor Langxuan, and those demigods were his subordinates; elated, they meant to migrate the Langxuan Divine Palace into the Heaven Court. Many ancient gods had gone, leaving a vacuum of power—now was the perfect moment to seize it.
"No wonder the Great Sun Star Lord is so desolate.
The age that belonged to the ancient gods is over; the age that belongs to the demigods has arrived. " Shen Mu watched that heavenly palace rise higher and higher, then turned back and continued on toward the Xiaohan Heaven Court, thinking, "In this world, the conflict between the ancient gods and the postnatal living beings is no longer the main current; the conflict between the demigods and the postnatal living beings has become the principal contradiction.
This is precisely the reason the Chiming Era rose to power!
" On his way to the Xiaohan Heaven Court he saw several more heavenly palaces lifted up by exultant demigods and borne flying toward the Heaven Court, and he could not help shaking his head.
The Ancient God Heavenly Emperor was dead; the age of the ancient gods was over. But another crop of demigods had become the new ancient gods. In those years the demigods had also been the leaders of the Longhan Revolution, even more radical than the human race's Heavenly Venerables; and now they had replaced the ancient gods and become the new rulers.
Shen Mu lowered his head and looked at the quiet surface of the Heavenly River. The Heavenly River held his shadow.
He gazed at the shadow in the Heavenly River, and the shadow gazed back at him.
The laughter and cheerful voices of the demigods drifted over. The heroes who slew dragons, having killed the evil dragon, had at last grown sharp claws and fangs of their own—and become the evil dragon.
