Chapter 28: The Heavens Stir in Fear
"We thought him a mortal who defied the heavens. But what if he is something more?"

The Celestial Court in Chaos
In the Heavenly Immortal Court, the most powerful celestial beings watched as Bai Zhen—a celestial envoy—stood powerless before Xiao Tian.
Shock. Disbelief. Fear.
The gathered immortals, who had ruled over the fate of countless worlds, now questioned the very foundation of their power.
A Divine General clenched his fists. "Bai Zhen is a celestial of the Sixth Heaven. He should be invincible in the mortal realm!"
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Empress narrowed her golden eyes. "And yet, Xiao Tian treats him as nothing more than an inconvenience."
An Ancient Saint, his body woven from pure law, spoke in a grave tone. "His power is not natural. This is beyond what even Saints and Immortal Kings can achieve."
Silence filled the court.
Then—
The Supreme Celestial Lord finally spoke.
"We assumed that the Heaven-Defier was simply a mortal who refused to obey fate."
His golden gaze lingered on Xiao Tian's figure within the celestial mirror.
"But what if he was never truly mortal to begin with?"
The words sent shockwaves through the court.

A Forgotten Past? Or a Threat from Beyond?
A Celestial Historian stepped forward, his voice trembling. "Supreme Lord, could he be… one of them?"
The hall grew cold.
The Divine Generals and Celestial Kings instinctively tensed, their divine auras flaring.
The Primordial Celestial, an ancient existence even older than the Celestial Court itself, finally broke his silence.
"If he is one of them… then the heavens are already in danger."

The Order to Destroy Xiao Tian
The Supreme Celestial Lord finally rose from his throne.
His golden presence caused the entire Divine Realm to tremble.
"Bai Zhen has failed. We will not wait for Xiao Tian to grow any stronger."
His voice echoed with absolute authority.
"Summon the Seven Divine Lords. The full power of the Celestial Court will descend."
The command shook the very heavens.
A war was coming—
And this time, the heavens were moving with everything they had.
