Imperial God Emperor (Web Novel)

492 - The heavenly walls of the domain

　The Central Domain Gate was an incomparably large stone gate.

　　No one could be sure on the details of this stone gate. There were many people that could prove just what sort of material it was made from. It was pale white, and was like stone and like steel at the same time. It was coarse and rough, with faint dots on the surface.

　　Ye Qingyu could still clearly remember that the image just now was that the chaotic storm had gathered down from the skies downwards. It was like a whale sucking in water, as if it had been compressed by some sort of power, ultimately becoming a solidified and compressed form.

　　A part of this formed into this pale white Domain Gate.

　　The Domain Gate was approximately a hundred meters tall, as well as hundred meters wide. It was like a gigantic door frame, without any doors.

　　The other portion of the remnants of the chaotic storm formed a huge stone plaque at the side of the Domain Gate.

　　This stone wall was much smaller than the stone gate. It was not even ten meters tall, and about four meters wide. It was a rectangle, like the side of a wall.

　　There was faint chaotic mist fluctuating around it, like light sand. The surface was undulating, like a micro universe, like a milky way. There were hundreds of large and small indents the size of a fist, each about five fingers deep on the stone plaque. It had a smooth inner wall, but with spherical indents on it.

　　These indents were not evenly distributed, and did not seem to have any rule about it. It was unknown just what it was to be used for and seemed rather special.

　　One side of the stone piece was connected to the right side of the stone gate. It was as if it was one structure, without any seams or connection.

　　The process of the chaotic qi compressing and consolidating to form the stone gate and stone wall seemed to finish in but an instant.

　　Previously, Ye Qingyu didn't have too much feeling for descriptive phrases such as 'Heavenly creations' or the 'work of the gods'.

　　But this time, seeing with his own eyes the chaotic qi that was throughout the sky turning into a stone gate and stone wall, as if there were the hands of an invisible deity creating everything, Ye Qingyu vision was broadened.

　　He was the first person who saw the stone gate and wall appearing.

　　Then news began to spread out.

　　Yu Junhan and the others also came at the first instance of such news.

　　Thousands of meters around it, the caution level was raised to its highest. There was the light of formations flickering in the air, blocking all the surveillance of the outer world. There were tens of thousands of elite army that had arranged the most terrifying killing formation, their blades and swords unsheathed, prepared to do battle at any instant.

　　Apart from the people of Light City, there were still Yu Junhan, the Right Minister, the Left Minister, the Crown Princess Yu Xiaoxing. Only they had the right to enter into the central area, standing before the stone gate and wall.

　　Within the air, there was space that emitted thick and concentrated yuan qi.

　　"The Central Domain Gate! It has finally appeared." There was a complex emotion appearing on Yu Junnhan's face. Her hand lightly stroked the pale white stone gate, as if there was something contained within.

　　"Behind this stone gate is the passageway that connects to other domains?" The Right Minister also evaluated this development with a curious expression.

　　As one of the movers and shakers of the empire, Lin Zheng had also seen some Domain Gates that were narrow and unstable before.

　　But perhaps it would be wrong to call them Domain Gates, they were more like cracks in space. Because they were all fractures in space time, and had many dangers within it. It was like they had been created by tearing apart the fabric of space itself.

　　Such Domain Gates had many instability attributes regarding it. They were extremely dangerous. There was the possibility of sending people and items through it to other domains, but there was also the possibility that it could completely kill and annihilate anything that entered it.

　　He had never ever seen such a Domain Gate that had such a form.

　　"But just how is this Domain Gate used?" There was a questioning expression on the Left Minsiter's face.“

　　This ancient stone gate seemed like a massive stone door. As they followed the nine steps and walked up, and after entering through the stone gate, they came to the other side.

　　On the surface, there was no possibility that could be discerned from entering through this gigantic stone gate that could lead you to another domain.

　　"Just what is the stone wall used for? Could it... act as a map?"

　　Yu Xiaoxing was also curiously evaluating the stone wall.

　　Yu Junhan turned around and smiled. "Xing'er, what you said is correct. The stone wall on the other side really can be used as a map. Do you see the sphere-shaped indents on the surface? Every indent represents a domain. As long as there is a divine class Origin crystal within it, then one can open the Central Domain Gate and enter into the domain that the indent represents."

　　So it was like this.

　　Ye Qingyu suddenly understood.

　　The stone gate could open a passage through spacetime, and the thing by the side was an item that had markers through spacetime.

　　It was hard to believe that such a peerless intricate item was naturally born.

　　The things created by the world were really utterly miraculous.

　　It was the first time Lin Zheng and the others had heard such an explanation, so they were evidently very shocked.

　　Carefully counting, there were in total a hundred and ninety-nine large and small indents on the stone wall. Could this represent a hundred and ninety-nine domains?

　　If one of them was Heaven Wasteland Domain, then did this not represent that there existed another hundred and ninety-eight other domains in this word?

　　Ye Qingyu sucked in a mouthful of cold breath.

　　There was so many?

　　Heaven Wasteland Domain was known as a newly formed domain. It had not entirely formed, but it was also vast and gigantic, as if it was endless. There were countless lifeforms being born from it, and it was already large enough as it is.

　　And those so called matured domains were world domains that had already completely grown. Just how massive would it be, and just what sort of lifeforms would it contain, with what sort of experts being born from it?

　　Thinking of this was enough to make everyone dizzy.

　　Everyone could hear Yu Junhan continuing, "There was once an ancient text that said that in this great universe, there are tens of thousands of domains. Our Heaven Wasteland Domain,is only a small domain amongst this great universe. It is like a drop of water in the ocean, a grain of sand in the desert, so small it cannot be noticed. These markers that have appeared are only a small portion out of the countless domains. The domains are like the stars in the skies, some are born and some are destroyed. If there are new domains being born, or perhaps it can sense some domains that it had not previously sensed before, there will be new indents formed... This is the profoundness of the laws of the Heavenly Way."

　　As these words were said, everyone that heard it was stunned.

　　The Jin Ling'er, Li Qi and Li Ying, who had sneakily followed the fatty Wang Lijin here curiously, had their mouths open in shock and disbelief, as if they were listening to a myth.

　　Lin Zheng and the others, whose heart had already been trained and hammered countless of times, and would not display emotions on their faces, still had shocks flickering deep within their eyes.

　　The shock and impact suh words had on everyone did not need to be described.

　　Furthermore, since these words were said from such an existence like Yu Junhan, everyone did not have a hint of suspicion, believing it entirely.

　　For people like Lin Zheng and Yu Feiyan, they guessed that such secrets were what the invincible peerless War God of the past had told Yu Junhan. Therefore, the matters that this invincible War God said, they would naturally choose to absolutely believe.

　　Only those who had experienced and had live through the the legendary times would know just how mysterious, powerful and almighty that person was. Only they knew just how many geniuses and tyrants would willingly bow down in front of that person, as devout as a worshipper, following him til death.

　　"As to what sort of domain each sphere shape indent represents, we need to find out on our own." The large majority of the time, Yu Junhan's gaze was focused towards Ye Qingyu. She continued, "The appearance of the Central Domain Gate of Heaven Wasteland Domain also means that on the other domains, there will also be an indent that represents Heaven Wasteland Domain appearing on those Domain Gates. Everyone should know what this represents.”

　　The expression of everyone turned serious.

　　This signified that other forces of other domains could enter into Heaven Wasteland Domain as they pleased as long as they had divine class Origin crystal and placed it within.

　　That meant that friends could arrive at any time.

　　Invasion was also possible at any moment.

　　From today onwards, if Heaven Wasteland Domain was unlucky and was faced with many powerful and fully matured domains, it was likely that a bloody battlefield would be caused in a very short period of time.

　　This was much more terrifying than the internal battles between the races of Heaven Wasteland Domain.

　　Once lost, there was a possibility that Heaven Wasteland Domain could become an enslaved domain.

　　All lifeforms within that domain would become slaves to a foreign domain.

　　Such was definitely not just projecting the worst scenario. There was a real possibility this could occur.

　　Within Ye Qingyu's heart, there was an acute sense of danger rising.

　　At ths time, the converging space yuan qi in the surroudning air suddenly became dense. The Domain Gate that was like a door suddenly let out a lively luster. A thin layer, like a mirror, like the water’s surface, began to appear within the Domain Gate.

　　A strange aura of a foreign domain surged out from the Domain Gate!

　　Connected!

　　The Domain Gate was really opened so quickly.

　　The hearts of everyone instantly skipped a beat.

　　"Attention!"

　　Lin Zheng roared.

　　Qu Hanshan directly sent a signal to the outside as the Imperial army prepared.

　　Faintly, there was a flash in the water-like mirror.

　　An item like black lighting shot out from within it.

　　Yu Junhan grabbed at it.

　　An invisible force shot out, completely freezing this black thing in place.

　　This was a thing that was like a dragon, a snake-like creature. It' head was like a flying snake, and was ink black. From it's appearance, it seemed extremely vicious and cruel.

　　It was only that only half of it's body had passed through the Domain Gate, seeming to be tens of meters long. Letting out a terrifying roar, it opened its mouth as sharp fangs bit towards Yu Junhan's wrist.

　　With the terrifying power of Yu Junhan, even she surprisingly was not enough to completely freeze it in space in an instant.

　　But the next instant, such a strange creature was still completely crushed into smithereens by Yu Junhan.

　　Then, the mirror within the Domain Gate began madly flashing and flickering.

　　There was unending creatures that charged out roaring.

　　Ye Qingyu's complexion changed.

　　Why was it that it was only vicious beasts that charged out?

　　Weren’t these vicious beast like the ones that appeared throughout the skies outside Deer City, that had once attacked Deer City and killed his own parents?

　　This... why had they charged out from the Domain Gate?
