Brahma Monarch God Realm

"Wuya, I've failed you during this lifetime… so please allow Wugou… to accompany you… on your long walk… to the Yellow Springs."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't think so." The Cloaked Man shook his head and wagged his finger.

"Who... are you?"

"A certain man, knowing who I am should not concern you in the slightest. Honestly, I'd be losing out on some big-time gold if I didn't stop you from killing yourself. You're of some value so I can't let you die yet. Just know that I'll be walking you off to the Celestial Dragon instead of the terrible Yellow Springs."

"The Celestial Dragon Emperor... the killer of Wuya."

"Ah, Aerion did, indeed, kill him but who cares? He stood in his way and paid the consequences. It's just some mortal who was fated to die soon anyway. Miss, you spread your legs to a man quite a few times which resulted in two beautiful children. Surely, you can't abandon them so soon just because your original love died? Heh, you can also return to that husband on Blue Pole Star once and for all after reuniting with your children."

"No, I must accompany him."

"Nonsense, you must accompany your children. Or do they even mean anything to you?"

"..."

"You know, I didn't quite think of my children too which led to many terrible consequences which I still regret sometimes. Your wish to die is terribly selfish and so, I can't let you go through with it. The promise of gold certainly helps though, hahaha." The Cloaked Man laughed.

Yue Wugou suddenly froze and the Cloaked Man took her away.

Aerion sat on a table with his mightiest warriors, made up of only late-stage Divine Masters. He had used the spare cultivation strength from the previous inheritors along with heavenly resources from the Seventh Heaven Realm to help them all reach the late-stage rather swiftly. This was a meeting which would dictate how they would conquer the Eastern Divine Region. He had already decided on how things would go so this was only to inform the rest of his plans.

"The first phase of this Dragon Conquest is rather simple, we are going to conquer all of the King Realms and put them under House Targaryen, starting with the Brahma Monarch and Moon God Realms. The nine Star Gods will leave for the Moon God Realm along with Xia Qingyue while the Braham Monarch Goddess and I secure the Brahma Monarch God Realm. Once the new God Emperors, Xia Qingyue and Ying'er, are acknowledged, everyone is to regroup in the Star God Realm. Then we will all march onto the Eternal Heaven Realm, conquering the last of the King Realms."

"Phase two will naturally begin afterwards. Are there any questions?"

"Can we really take the Moon God Realm without you, My Lord?" Sun Lin inquired.

"Of course you can, you have Qingyue. The Moon Gods should not resist too much as she has the Purple Tower Moon God's divine inheritance and the Imperial Moon Glazed Pearl. You don't need me at all."

"Oh, I see."

Once everyone was dismissed, Aerion wanted Xia Qingyue to remain.

"I have utmost faith in you, Qingyue, but if things go south, be sure to inform me. I'll settle the Moon Gods with ease."

"I thank you for the offer, your Imperial Majesty, but I don't think it will be necessary."

Aerion smiled "Then the next time we meet will be in the Star God Realm."

"Wait."

"Hm, is there something else you'd like to talk about?"

"Yes, there is. I've noticed that, despite starting from the same planet, you have managed to get so much further than myself in terms of cultivation. How is that so?"

"Well, I do reap most of the opportunities which are given to me. Unlike you, I don't stay in the same place. One can only go so far with meditation."

"I see. You did become an Emperor and even rose to the very top in the God Realm while I remained in the Immortal Frozen Cloud Palace. Every time we met, you had always taken a giant leap forwards and extended the gap further. Even temperament wise, you grew wiser and developed into a figure everyone would be willing to serve. If only I had joined you sooner, perhaps..."

"The present is what matters, Qingyue."

"You are right about that, Aerion." Xia Qingyue smiled. "In truth, the reason why I decided to finally leave the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace and join you was to find my mother. I knew that you would eventually reach the peak once more, as you had always done, so it was only a matter of time before I was able to reach her. Now that I have the Purple Tower Moon God's divine inheritance and Primal Chaos is becoming yours, I believe that day is fast approaching."

"I know this is asking a bit too much, but I want you to help me find her. Could you do that for me, Aerion?"

Aerion chuckled. "Since when did you get such a sweet tongue? Of course, I will. You are one of my God-Emperors so it's only natural that I should assist you with matters of such importance. But I can't promise you anything as finding a single person in the vast God Realm is not an easy task, especially without a name. There is a person I could go to, however, and he might be able to tell me but it's not guaranteed."

Xia Qingyue nodded. "All I ask for is your greatest effort. If she cannot be found, then so be it."

"Then it is agreed, is there anything else you would like to mention?"

"No, that will be all. I'll prepare the divine army for the conquest of the Moon God Realm."

"Good, I look forward to hearing news of your grand victory." Aerion nodded.

Aerion turned around and started to leave, his silver hair lightly swaying with each step. Even Xia Qingyue's frozen heart couldn't help but flutter slightly in his presence. He had matured into a most charming Emperor, after all.

~The Brahma Monarch God Realm~

The Brahma Monarch God Realm was in an unstable state with no clear leader, only a host of Divine Kings. The three Brahma Gods were dead, the Brahma Heaven God Emperor had fallen and the Brahma Monarch Goddess, the heir to the seat of God-Emperor, was nowhere to be found.

The people of the Brahma Monarch God Realm remained hopeful as the Brahma Monarch Goddess was the fiancée of the Celestial Dragon Emperor. This idea seemed to be slightly far-fetched as the Brahma Heaven God Emperor himself was slain by him but they hoped nonetheless.

"So this is the Brahma Monarch God Realm." Aerion smiled. "A wonderful place, if I do say so myself."

"I will gather the Brahma Kings and announce my rise to the rank of God-Emperor. Having you around isn't necessary as they will all acknowledge the Brahma Soul Bell."

"You're too cold, Ying'er, I only wanted to spend some time with you. Now that I think about it, maybe I should go to the Eternal Heaven Realm instead."

"Hmph, I never said you were unwelcome. You will have to stay here and help me bury Royal Father."

Aerion nodded. "I will."

Women can be so strange sometimes.

The Brahma Monarch Goddess floated down onto the Brahma Monarch God Realm to announce her new position of Brahma Heaven God Emperor. She was met with absolute obedience under the authority of the Brahma Soul Bell. It was also stated that the Brahma Monarch God Realm will serve under the Celestial Dragon Emperor and House Targaryen.

Aerion watched from above, his eyes rarely staying on anyone for long but Qianye Ying'er.

"God-Emperor, there is a matter of great importance. The Southsea God Emperor has been waiting for your return for quite some time, due to the lack of strength, we naturally could not force him to leave. He was resolute in staying until you arrived." One of the Brahma Kings stated.

"Hmph, where is he now?"

"I have been waiting for quite some time now, Ying'er, but I'm glad I did. My patience was running thin but it withstood the test of time, haha." Nan Wansheng did not waste much time revealing himself. "This talk of the Celestial Dragon Emperor is rather intriguing and I'm finding it hard to believe. Do you know the truth of the situation, Ying'er?"

"It is just as the message says."

"So you're telling me that Aerion Targaryen, some young man who hasn't even hit the age of thirty, has killed three God-Emperors? Even if it is true, you are siding with the person who killed your Royal Father. I find that even more difficult to believe."

"Oh, how brilliant." Aerion appeared in front of the Southsea God Emperor. "Here to bend the knee, I assume? I admit, my Empire does not have a foothold in the Southern Divine Region and it would be a great favour if we did."

"You... so you were here the whole time?"

"Yes, I was. The Brahma Heaven God Emperor was a fool who had committed some unforgivable sins and he even stood against me when I thought of forgiving him. Now then, bend the knee and swear loyalty to me before I slaughter you."

"No, a God-Emperor like myself will never bow his head to anyone. Hmph..."

Pierce.

Blackfyre stabbed Nan Wansheng, the Southsea God Emperor, directly in the heart before being purified by Crimson Ghost flames and returned to its sheath. He fell to the ground as a corpse.

Aerion sighed. "What a waste."

Aerion placed his corpse in the Kamui dimension.

Although you cannot serve me in life, you will serve me well in death.

"Now let's bury your Royal Father before anything else."

"Yes, that would be a wise thing to deal with first." Qianye Ying'er agreed.
