Imperial God Emperor

Meanwhile—— 

In the Light Palace. 

In the dazzling stone palace, the strange ancient formations of the God and Demon Age were frequently flashing, before finally erupting in a sacred, silver glow, which completely covered the inner walls of the stone palace. But this time it greatly differed from the previous markings.

This time the eruption of formation markings seemed to have gushed out from the stonewalls and depths of the ground. In a short moment, the walls of the entire stone palace were like dried up and cracking ground, and the cracks were like tears on the skin. 

While the strange power of the stone palace was solidified in the air like a gelatinous matter, covering the entire stone palace.

Ye Qingyu activated his divine sense and was amazed. 

“This time the formations actually grew out from the stone palace...” 

While observing the changes of the palace, he continued gripping the armrest of the stone chair, pouring in pure yuan qi power endlessly.

The next moment, strange changes appeared. 

The huge jade stone table in front of him was flashing a strange brilliance, and almost immediately this brilliance formed into a grid-like shadow that slowly unfolded.

Ye Qingyu looked overjoyed.  

“Map of the Universe!” 

He exclaimed. 

One year ago, Ye Qingyu had accidentally opened the Map of the Universe. The stone monkey said to him that this map was a treasure. When activated, all the scenery, buildings, and living beings as well as the sky, ground, sun, moon, and stars would be included in it, and the tens of thousands of kingdoms of the universe could be seen by the controller. 

But because a year ago Ye Qingyu's cultivation was restrained, the Map of the Universe only mapped out the landscape and human figures, and some rune formations and more advanced places were shown as shadows. 

This time the Map of the Universe on the jade stone table was much clearer than the last time.

On the map on the jade tabletop, the topography was forming across and unexpectedly went beyond the location of the Snow capital at a very rapid speed. 

With the passage of time, this grid-like projection gradually became substantial matter.

After a few moments. 

The originally shiny and smooth stone table gradually, as though carved by countless knives at the same time, was merged with a layer of high and low terrain.

Fire Tree Woods... 

Light City...

The ancestral land of the Imperial family...

Armoured soldier base...

Snow capital...

Ye Qingyu stared intently at the map that was increasingly spreading across, his eyes flashing a pleasantly surprised look. 

After another moment. 

Wei City...

Qin City...

Huaiyang City...

A growing number of the landscapes of cities and towns ruled by the Snow Empire surfaced.....

“Deer City and county!”

Here, Ye Qingyu looked overjoyed. 

He fixed his eyes on the city and buildings that had shrank in size accordingly, and finally his eyes fell on a residence in Deer City, which he immediately recognized it to be the former Ye residence. 

There was more. 

After a few moments. 

The sand table projection was spreading continuously in all directions, giving rise to the terrain and landform of Heaven Wasteland Domain. 

Desert...

Sea…

Primitive jungle…

“It's the frontier!” Ye Qingyu exclaimed, staring at the borders emerging on the rapidly extending sand table map. His eyes lit up with excitement, “The Map of the Universe is still constantly expanding, would it... would it include all the territories of Heaven Wasteland Domain?” 

In less than a few moment’s time.

“Hurricane Wave Demon Court!” Ye Qingyu cried out in surprise.

In the southernmost end of Heaven Wasteland, the Hurricane Wave Demon Court and the vast South Sea appeared before his eyes.

There was more. 

The Northwest Desert Brute Race Imperial Court...

The White Waters Black Mountains Brute Race Imperial Court...

The Snow Ground Demon Court...

The terrain and landform of the entire Heaven Wasteland were all presented on the stone table, and whether it was the mountains, forests, rivers, or palaces, and even the buildings, the streets, and the walking figures in each area were all lifelike, like they were recreated. 

The true mystery of the Map of the Universe at this moment was a great shock to Ye Qingyu. 

At this time, looking at the sand table projection, which seemed as though Heaven Wasteland Domain had been shrank tens of thousands of times, he could not help praising the peerless War God that countless experts of Heaven Wasteland feared. Given his cultivation, the Map of the Universe should be much more vast and in detail than his right now, and even the voids of the universe and other domains may be shown…

Another half an hour had passed. 

As he continued injecting his yuan qi into the chair, Ye Qingyu finally felt a little exhausted.

The sand table also gradually became stagnant and no more changes were seen. 

At this time, Ye Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly rose to his feet, came to before the jade stone table, restrained his excitement, and began to carefully observe the sandtable of Heaven Wasteland's area. 

The shadows of the sand table covered the entire stone table, the mountains and rivers and town and cities were dotted all over the places, and the huge and grand Snow capital was as small as a grain of sesame seed on the table. The terrain of the Heaven Wasteland Domain and all the town buildings were presented clearly, and the scene shocked Ye Qingyu once again. 

“Unexpectedly, as a very young domain, Heaven Wasteland Domain has such a complex layout and topography...”

Ye Qingyu then carefully examined some of the more important official residences and palaces. He remembered that one year ago, the several places that were protected by formations on the model were only shadows. 

“I remember the stone monkey said that the map is projected based on the ability of the controller. The higher the cultivation base, the more detailed the topography and the clearer it is...” 

His gaze panned across the Map of the Universe.  

In the palace of the Snow Empire...

Pass Lord's residence...

The sacred altar of the White Water Black Mountain Brute Race...

Ye Qingyu gradually revealed an overjoyed look.

More and more forbidden palace and areas as well as the places watched by experts appeared clearly on the sand table. There were only a few places, such as the four major foreign race demon courts, the depths of some deep mountain and rivers, and some mysterious places that were not presented clearly on the Map of the Universe. These places were all shadows shrouded by ancient formations, like a layer of black veil was covering the overhead of the area. 

“Huh?”

As his gaze shifted. 

Ye Qingyu's eyes suddenly landed on the Deer City area.

An old man with frosty white hair and cheeks flushing was panting as he ran down a dirty alley.  

“Grandpa, slow down.” Behind the old man was a healthy-looking and graceful girl carrying a medicine box following behind.  

“Qingqing, quickly, Aunt Liu has been waiting for a long time...” The old man wiped his sweat and urged the young woman behind him, gasping for breaths.

At the end of the street. 

A middle-aged woman in an ordinary grey dress and head wrapped in a blue cloth was anxiously peering around.  

Suddenly her eyes lit up, excitedly exclaiming, “Doctor Li, quickly come take a look at Qu’er!”

Ye Qingyu separated out a divine sense that transformed to a doppelganger and stood in the alley.

He looked at the two figures that gradually disappeared at the end of the street, his mouth slightly curved upwards in a smile. 

Immediately Ye Qingyu began to look around.  

He was amazed to discover that all the noises in the buildings, on the streets, as well as the footsteps of people and the barking of distant dogs... were emerged in detail in the mind of his real body.

Not only that, but at this moment the shadow of his doppelganger standing on the street and looking at the scene in front was as if he really was situated in the streets of Deer City. 

“Is this the real power of the Map of the Universe that the stone monkey mentioned? It can swallow the world, and even if it is a wide area, the littlest detail will be shown?” Ye Qingyu could not help but marvel. He suddenly realized something. His pupils rapidly shrank, “That means, at this moment, the Map of the Universe can really monitor the entire world...”  

This function was really... too terrifying.  

The strategic significance of the Map of the Universe was simply unimaginable.  

At this moment, Ye Qingyu suddenly understood why the War God back then could create so many glorious achievements, clean out the entire Heaven Wasteland Domain, and establish the Human Race to an invincible emperor status in the Heaven Wasteland Domain. He also came to understand why he could suppress the major foreign forces for so many years, and make all top experts of any domain terror-stricken at his appearance... 

A peerless martial artist relies on battle strength to suppress countless people. But to rule a domain, to make all foreign races surrender, just by having unique cultivation, battle strength and strategy were not enough.

But evidently the peerless War God in the past had all of these attributes.

The Map of the Universe that can be used at any time to gain insight into the world, and the Divine Sword of Light, whose power could shake the sun and moon, represented the world’s sharpest sword and the strongest shield of the peerless War God. 

All livings things in the world, who would dare to disobey? 

The terrifying use of the Map of the Universe made Ye Qingyu unable to free himself for a good while.

The deeper mystery of this epiphany was creeping up in his mind, like tentacles reaching out to his heart and lungs, dantian and his hundred of bones. 

Just then—— 

A strange wave came from the direction of the southernmost waters on the sand table.

The fluctuation suddenly awakened Ye Qingyu, who was plunged into deep contemplation. He immediately separated out a wisp of divine sense into the Hurricane Wave Demon Court of the South Sea. 

……

In the sky of the Hurricane Wave Demon Court. 

In the overcast sky, bolts of lightning struck down from the thick clouds, vertically piercing into the seabed.  

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bursts of explosions consecutively sounded from the water surface. The sea that was struck by lightning, like a giant mine was thrown in, all of a sudden there were mist and steam rising into the air and waves of heat were being emitted from the water. 

The rumble of thunder was as though countless balls of iron were rolling back and forth on an iron plate.

And the countless aquatic creatures on the seabed were tumbling among the waves. A number of raging waves crashed down, shooting all kinds of fish and sea creatures to the surface, instantly turned to powder. 

Deep in the sea. 

An aquatic army of tens of thousands of water demons mutated to different degrees was patrolling the sea.

Most of the water demon creatures in the army had a degree of human face, but some of the characteristics of water demon creatures had not yet completely faded.  

Some had thorn-like fins on their back, some had a layer of armour-like scales covering their body, some had tentacle-like feet, and some had a hat-like fish shell on their heads...
