Chapter 841: Nine Realms

Zhang Hui nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:

"Then the power of the Golden Crow in your body..."

"It has stabilized." Xia Yuan smiled slightly.

"That Golden Crow not only helped us repel the enemy that day, but also helped me sort out the chaotic power in my body."

"Although I still can't fully control it, at least I won't have to worry about my life anymore."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to condense a ball of golden light. The light was gentle and peaceful, no longer as violent and unstable as before.

Zhang Hui smiled slightly when he saw this:

"So good!"

"Yeah..." Xia Yuan took back his hand,

"Thanks to Li Yang and Yun Youzi this time, if they hadn't made arrangements in advance, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Zhang Hui suddenly mentioned something:

"Speaking of which, over in the north, Mr. Li Yang seems to have made quite a lot of achievements recently."

"When he was following the movements of the Chaos Cultists in the North and searching for the remaining "Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang", he accidentally discovered an ancient ruins and obtained many strange treasures."

"Oh?" Xia Yuan became interested, "Let's talk about it."

Zhang Hui nodded:

"It is said that there are a large number of ancient books hidden in that ruins, many of which contain records about the Golden Crow... and even some other gods."

"Li Yang is sorting it out, maybe he can find more useful information."

After Xia Yuan listened, he thought deeply:

"It seems that this incident is far from over..."

"What does your Majesty mean?"

Xia Yuan stood up and walked to the window:

"Although the other me was eliminated, some of the things he mentioned are worth pondering."

"For example, the power of chaos they have been using...and the so-called [other time and space]..."

Hearing this, Zhang Hui felt ashamed.

After all, he, Li Yang and Yun Youzi came from this so-called [other time and space].

From this point of view, the Great Xia they were in was not an illusion formed by some force.

It's a real time travel.

In this case, he should not reveal too much unnecessary information.

Thinking of this, he touched the back of his head and continued:

"These are all too mysterious, so don't think too much about them."

Xia Yuan shook his head:

"No, on the contrary. After this incident, I am even more convinced that there are some things that must be clarified."

With that said, he turned around and looked at Zhang Hui:

"Please help me pass the order to summon Li Yang and Yun Youzi to the capital."

"In addition, ask people to send all the ancient books collected over the years to the palace."

Zhang Hui raised his eyebrows when he heard this:

"What is your Majesty going to do?"

"Research." Xia Yuan's eyes were firm,

"Now that the power of the Golden Crow has been stabilized, it is time to study the secrets."

"I always feel that there is a bigger secret hidden behind this incident."

"To uncover this secret, I'm afraid we have to start with the history of the Golden Crow."

Zhang Hui nodded slightly when he heard this:

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After Zhang Hui left, Xia Yuan stood alone in front of the window, looking at the distant sky.

The sky is still blue and the sun is still bright and warm.

But he knew that beneath the calm surface, there was an undercurrent.

The appearance of another self, the mysterious stone tablet, the sudden appearance of the Golden Crow...

All of this indicates that some bigger changes are coming.

And this may be just the beginning.

"That's all." Xia Yuan whispered to himself,

"As time goes by, the truth will eventually come out."

With that said, he turned and walked towards the study.

On the desk, several ancient books lay quietly, waiting to be opened.

...

A few days later...

Xia Yuan was reading classics in the imperial study room when he suddenly heard rapid footsteps coming from outside.

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Hui pushed the door open and entered with a solemn expression.

"There is new news from Li Yang."

Xia Yuan put down the book in his hand: "What's the matter?"

"A second ruins were discovered in the north."

Zhang Hui handed over a secret letter,

"And...this discovery is far more astonishing than last time."

Xia Yuan quickly browsed the contents of the letter and gradually frowned.

The letter mentioned that this ruins is located deep in the Arctic Ice Sheet.

The outer walls of the ruins are covered with murals related to the Golden Crow.

"These murals... record something."

Xia Yuan read the contents of the letter softly:

"The Golden Crow is not the only god in this world..."

"These beings with huge power are the guardians of a powerful civilization, guarding nine different regions."

"And Daxia, where we are located, is just one of the regions."

Zhang Hui held his chin and spoke slowly:

"In other words, besides Daxia, are there other eight regions?"

Xia Yuan nodded and pointed to a description in the letter:

"Li Yang discovered an altar deep in the ruins with a complete star map on it."

"According to the star map, the nine domains were originally connected to each other."

"But at some point, the connection was suddenly lost."

Having said this, Xia Yuan suddenly held his chin, thoughtfully:

"Yes..."

"This explains why the other me mentioned other times and places."

Zhang Hui looked complicated:

"The power of chaos..."

"I don't know...but maybe it's a bridge between the nine realms."

Xia Yuan stood up and paced back and forth in the room,

"Although those Chaos cultists are going in the wrong direction, what they are pursuing may indeed have basis."

At this moment, a strong resonance suddenly came from Xia Yuan's body.

That is the fluctuation of the power of the Golden Crow.

"Interesting..." Xia Yuan looked down at his palms,

"It seems that the power of the Golden Crow is also responding to this discovery."

Zhang Hui hesitated for a moment:

"Then let's go..."

Xia Yuan's eyes were firm:

"Convene the important ministers of the DPRK to discuss matters."

"In addition, please ask Taoist Master Yun to set off immediately and meet Li Yang."

"This discovery is too important and must be closely guarded."

...

Meanwhile, in the remains of the far north ice sheet.

Li Yang was leading a team of people to carefully explore the deep passages.

The murals on the walls show scenes from ancient times.

The Golden Crow and some other strange-shaped gods hovered in the sky. Nine huge cities were distributed on the earth, and there were bright light bridges connecting the cities.

"Tsk tsk tsk...found some more..."

"What can you reveal to me this time?"

He continued to walk forward and suddenly saw a special text on the wall in front of him.

These words were different from those he had seen before, yet they felt inexplicably familiar to him.

After careful identification, Li Yang was surprised to find...

This is actually in English.

He blinked, then quickly recorded this text and translated it:

"Warning, the balance of the nine domains is about to collapse, and the barriers of time and space are constantly weakening."

"The nine realms will eventually be destroyed and everything will return to chaos."

"Only the unity of the gods can restore order and restore past glory."

"Time is running out..."

The last sentence was scrawled, as if the person who wrote it was in some extremely nervous state.

"interesting..."

Li Yang touched his chin.

At this moment, the communication talisman suddenly lit up.

It was the order sent by Xia Yuan.

After reading the content, Li Yang immediately ordered his men to step up their vigilance and at the same time sent out scouts to meet the approaching Yun Youzi.

"The development of things seems to be more complicated than expected."

He looked at the deep passage in the distance,

"I don't know what else is hidden deeper in this ruins..."
