Chapter 307 Heavenly Emperor Xue Xuan
"Go to heaven? Not to heaven?"

This question seems to be very debatable, but in fact the answer is obvious. Since Lin Liu is the protagonist who can be restarted, the main theme is naturally a suicidal puzzle.

Zhao Si pondered for a moment:
"I have to go to heaven. I have been holding back a lot of mysteries about the worldview. Now I finally have the chance to go to heaven and solve these mysteries. Of course, I can't miss this opportunity."

"But there's nothing wrong with him worrying about human affairs... Let's go to heaven to check it out first, and then come back to take care of human affairs..."

Having made up his mind, Zhao Si, who was extremely curious about the world view, made a choice:

"Choose A!"

[You choose option A, go to heaven. After fighting for a lifetime, can't you enjoy yourself? Take this opportunity to see all the beautiful legends of heaven. If the true god doesn't go to the divine realm, wouldn't it be like training for nothing for so many years? ]

[You could not bear your curiosity about the heavens, and at the invitation of Taibai Star Lord Li Ziliang, you accepted the imperial edict from the Emperor of Heaven to ascend to heaven.]

[So, you began to make final arrangements for the affairs of the human world...]

[You first found the monkey, explained your plan to the heaven to it, and formally transferred the power to it. ]

[The monkey is your apprentice and the person you trust the most. It won't be difficult for it to inherit your position. As long as you issue an order to pass on your position, it can take over immediately! ]

[But when it heard this wonderful news, it did not show any desire or joy for the supreme power on earth. Instead, it was full of worry... It has never been a power-hungry monkey. It only cares about whether you will encounter any bad things in heaven.]

[“Master, when will you be back?”]

【It asked worriedly.】

[And you just smiled and touched its head: "It won't be long, I just go up to see if the heaven is as good as the legend says, if not, I will come back to the human world!"]

【"Master..."】

[But after hearing this, the monkey was not at ease, but became even more worried: "What if the heaven is really good and you are unwilling to come back?"]

[You shook your head: "I would rather love a pinch of soil in my hometown than a ton of gold in another country!"]

[“I said I would come back, so I will definitely come back! Besides…”]

[You said seriously: "Our dreams have not yet been fulfilled. I have not made the world peaceful and prosperous forever, and you have not made monkeys and their descendants immortal... Our journey has just begun, and going to heaven is just the first step!"]

[Hearing your words, the monkey finally heaved a sigh of relief...]

[The next day, you will issue an imperial decree to the world in the name of the Shogun: From now on, you will ascend to heaven, and the affairs of the world will be fully handed over to your only disciple, who is the new Shogun! ]

[As soon as this order was issued, everyone was in an uproar: some were reluctant to see you go, while others were skeptical about whether a monkey could rule the country...]

[But under your edict, all these discussions will disappear: whatever the general says is the final word, and the general has the final say! ]

[So, the monkey inherited the post of Shogun as a non-human, and added the title of "Kanpaku", becoming the only non-human supreme leader in history! ]

[That year, the Guanpaku monkey changed the name of the "Hachiki Castle" to "Peach Castle" as a way of renaming the Shogun's capital to indicate the new ruler's arrival... From then on, the world entered a brand new "Monkey Era"...]

[The Chancellor ascended the throne, and he ascended the throne as a non-human. In order to establish the legitimacy of power, he naturally needed to establish his authority. 】

[So, the monkey launched a massive attack on Xiniu Hezhou the following year. The world, which had not seen war for many years, was once again in chaos...]

【However, these have little to do with you. 】

[After you passed on the throne, you followed Taibai Xingjun and left the human world...]

[As they walked, Taibai Xingjun sighed, "You deceived your disciple... You knew that you would never come back after going to heaven, but you still made such a promise to him..."]

[You didn't say anything, but just clenched the imperial edict in your hand for some unknown reason.]

[Can you return to the human world after going to heaven? 】

[It has been clearly written in the imperial edict.]

[The answer is: No! ]

[According to the rules set by the Emperor of Heaven, all true gods who have been appointed by Heaven cannot go down to the mortal world without permission. Those who violate this rule will be thrown into the Heavenly Prison and sealed away forever...]

[You do not understand the reason behind this heavenly law, and it is precisely because of it that you have doubts about whether to report to the heavens.]

[Once you go to heaven, you will not be able to return to the human world until your next death.]

[The promise you made will become a huge scam in this world line...]

[But in the end, you still gritted your teeth and chose to accept fate under the guarantee of your ability to restart: after all, this life is just a consumable to explore the way, the worst that can happen is that you will die once in the future! ]

[Of course, being able to reopen doesn’t mean it’s easy to make up your mind, because no matter how hard you try, things have already happened, and you will eventually betray their trust…]

[But this is the only way, you know, and the monkey knows it too.]

[It has the ability to read minds, so of course it knows whether you have lied to it, but it also knows that you can reopen the matter... So, even though it knows that you will not come back, it still believes you.]

[Because you have infinite possibilities, that's enough! ]

[Sooner or later you will return to the human world and continue to fulfill your respective dreams with it...]

【so. 】

[“I didn’t lie to it.”]

[You said in a deep voice, without a trace of doubt in your voice.]

【Um? 】

[Taibai Star Lord gave you a strange look... but didn't say much. He just shook his head and continued to lead the way...]

[……] [You passed through the clouds in the sky and crossed the strong wind zone, and arrived above the starry sky.]

[Looking down, the outlines of the four continents are clearly visible, and the land and the ocean are like an inverted hemisphere...]

[Looking up, the stars are twinkling, like a chessboard...]

【There is nothing above or below. 】

So, what about the heaven?

[Just when you were wondering about this, Taibai Xingjun smiled and took you up another ten feet. After just one foot, the world in front of you completely changed! ]

[All I saw was: auspicious clouds all over the sky, rosy clouds filling the sky, and all kinds of phenomena that were not from the human world suddenly appeared! ]

[There are immortals riding cranes and swords, there are fairies with fluttering sleeves, real dragons and colorful phoenixes living in the clouds, and auspicious unicorns lying beside the road. ]

[There is also a huge door standing not far away, with four heavenly generals standing majestically on the left and right, each holding their own magic weapon.]

[There are three words written on the door. ]

[“Nantianmen…”]

[You muttered: Is this the heaven? ]

[But...why couldn't I see it just now, but can I see it now? ]

[You look at Taibai Xingjun in confusion.]

[“Is it confusing?”]

[The old star laughed: "I was also shocked at that time, but actually..."]

[He stepped forward and clapped his hands, and the four seemingly majestic heavenly generals suddenly disappeared and turned into tiny dots of... incense? ]

[He then stepped forward and grabbed a real dragon, which also suddenly disintegrated... It was also incense.]

[He stepped forward to stop another beautiful fairy, and without hesitation, he placed his hand on her colorful clothes. Then the beautiful fairy also turned into incense...]

[You stare in amazement: “This is…”]

[“Haha! Are you stupid? This is all fake!”]

[Taibai Xingjun stroked his beard and smiled, "They were originally incense offerings from the human world to the heavens, but we, the true gods, don't have much power to consume on a daily basis, so we don't have any use for them at all."]

[“So the Emperor of Heaven asked us to transform these incense sticks into various mythical beasts, generals, gods, and various auspicious signs that conform to the fantasy of the heavens... After all, it can fill the facade of the heavens and make them more beautiful!”]

[Hearing these words, you can't help but believe what he said before: Heaven really has no demand for the incense from the human world, otherwise it would not be wasted to the extent of using it as a landscape...]

[“The entire heaven is made up of the power of incense and offerings. Although we don’t need them, they are still here, so we still have to make them play a role. Otherwise, they are quite an eyesore…”]

[“Okay, follow me to see the Emperor of Heaven!”]

【…】

[After passing through the South Heaven Gate, you will slowly see many true gods. They live here. All houses and supplies are made of incense. The entire heaven is like a continent made of incense.]

[Every time you meet a true god, Taibai Xingjun will introduce their identities to you: they were all once the masters of the human world and founded a dynasty. There was the Taizu of the previous dynasty, the Taizu of the previous previous dynasty, and the Taizu of the previous previous previous dynasty...]

[The sheer number of people will dazzle you. Most of them were born in times you have never heard of, thousands of years ago, tens of thousands of years ago, a hundred thousand years ago... The world has long forgotten them. The trendsetters of the time are now living forever in this world without worries.]

【And you will be one of them in the future! 】

[After seeing you as a newcomer, the ancient gods are very enthusiastic about you. They all want to invite you to chat and have fun, so as to understand the changes in the human world... This is one of the few pleasures in their long lives...]

[At the end, you entered a magnificent palace! ]

[“Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, the Human Regent Lin Liu has arrived!”]

[Taibai Xingjun bowed respectfully to the black-robed man on the throne.]

[And you also saw this legendary figure for the first time in your life. ]

[He was dressed in a black robe. Although he looked like a teenager, his temperament was steady and majestic...]

[Celestial Emperor Xue Xuan, in person! 】

【You bow respectfully to him.】

[“Are you the Lin Liu who didn’t want to be the emperor?”]

[The young voice of the Emperor of Heaven sounded, and he seemed to be very interested in you. ]

【“It is you, my humble servant.”】

[You said with a little restraint.]

[“Why don’t you want to be the emperor? You have already deposed the previous emperor…”]

[He became more and more excited as he asked more questions, and just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he suddenly let out a light "exclamation", as if he had discovered something that surprised him.]

[“Your Dharmadhatu’s aura seems a little strange… Can you show it to me?”]
