Shen Lian and Xuan Ba returned, but the storms across the heavens and myriad worlds had yet to subside.

The major powerhouses were still frantically discussing the Shrouding the Heavens universe and the Realm of the Extreme Emperor.

"Hahahaha, so satisfying! Weren't those Extreme Emperors arrogantly declaring that we couldn't cross the border? Looks like it's game over for them now!" said Eternal Sword Sovereign Sword Three Doubles.

"It's a pity I couldn't personally end those Extreme Emperors," Ye Jiangtian commented.

"This is what they get for their arrogance. If they'd stayed low-key, perhaps they could've ruled their world for a while longer. But they just had to shout and make noise on the Gold List. Now, they've slammed straight into an iron wall," said a cultivator with the alias Do You Want to Dance Too?

"If Heaven intends to destroy someone, it first drives them mad. No matter how powerful, arrogance leads to downfall," spoke the Peach Blossom Sword God.

"Still, let's be honest, these Extreme Emperors are truly formidable. If Emperor Lian hadn't crossed over, the world would've suffered immense losses," remarked a viewer known as I Don't Like the Flying Tent Sedum.

"Hey! If Emperor Lian had appeared earlier on the battlefield, Ace might not have died," Luffy exclaimed, gnawing on a chicken leg as usual.

Voices from all corners of the heavens—exactly 533 strong—gathered and expressed similar sentiments.

The fall of the Extreme Emperors was met with cheer and satisfaction. No one shed a tear. Instead, they relished every second.

In the Dragon Ball World, Frieza's expression twisted in disbelief.

"This... this is impossible! How can they be this powerful?!"

The self-proclaimed Emperor of the Universe watched the playback of the top-ranked combat scenes. His eyes widened as he beheld feats that trivialized planetary destruction and tore through cosmic boundaries.

He'd once considered himself formidable—able to obliterate planets effortlessly—but in comparison, he now seemed pathetically insignificant.

"Even Lord Zeno might not hold such power..."

"The most shocking part is that this Emperor Lian can really traverse through the heavens and worlds..."

Cold sweat beaded across Frieza's forehead. Recalling how he once arrogantly mocked Emperor Lian during a Gold List broadcast, panic surged in his chest.

Without hesitation, he tapped the screen and sent a barrage message:

"@EmperorLian Brother! Father! Ancestor! I was just joking before! I was wrong! Please forgive me! Don't stoop to my level! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He acted as though he were kowtowing, sending multiple "bang" sound effects, hoping the gesture would spare him.

Then he stared nervously at the comment section. No reply came from Shen Lian.

Frieza's face turned pale. "It's over... I'm finished… I'm doomed..."

At that moment, the ripple spread.

Zijin Ruffian, realizing his past foolish remarks, joined in:

"@EmperorLian Bro! Big Bro! I was wrong too! I really regret it! I was just being a keyboard warrior!"

And just like that, a wave of public confessions swept across the chat.

In countless worlds, a massive confession scene unfolded, starting with Frieza and snowballing across the heavens.

Shen Lian, seated calmly after returning from the Shrouding the Heavens world, gazed at the screen filled with apology barrages. He couldn't help but chuckle softly and shake his head.

While the emperor cannot be insulted, he didn't care about casual ridicule from others. He wouldn't cross universes just to take revenge over petty words.

The higher his cultivation grew, the more he transcended hostility. Shen Lian had become increasingly peaceful and tolerant. He could now look at both praise and criticism with equal detachment.

"Yuan Ye, stop picking at your feet."

Yuan Ye, who had been resting on a stone in a lotus position while absentmindedly scratching his toes, immediately straightened up and smiled awkwardly.

"Yes, Your Majesty? What do you need?"

"What's the situation over at Jiehai?" Shen Lian asked.

Yuan Ye's smile faded, replaced with a solemn expression.

"According to reports from Rong Sen, tremors from the boundary sea have been intensifying. The frequency of the strange spiritual signatures that had been appearing previously has increased significantly."

Shen Lian nodded slowly, thoughtful.

Back on the Immortal Ascension Road, he hadn't stayed long due to time constraints. Even so, with a single glance, he had seen a great many legendary figures.

He saw the unmatched Wu Shi Great Emperor, who had stood alone atop the clouds and opposed the Undying Emperor for hundreds of thousands of years.

He glimpsed the decaying form of Qingdi, pushing forward even as his body, spirit, and soul faded away.

He saw the strategist who had set the grand game plan for ten thousand years, and the ancient stele left behind by the Great Wilderness.

And yet, these were not the most important revelations.

Even though each of them was brilliant and awe-inspiring, they had no direct connection to Shen Lian. He would not be sidetracked or distracted by them.

The most crucial thing was the sense of darkness he felt while traversing the flow of time on the Immortal Ascension Road.

It was a familiar aura—one he had fought against long ago, before entering the Transcendence Realm. He had crossed space and time and clashed against this presence in the depths of Jiehai.

Now, a trace of that same darkness lingered on the Immortal Ascension Road in the Shrouding the Heavens universe.

It could only mean one thing—they originated from the same source.

"In other words, my universe might actually be connected to the Shrouding the Heavens world."

"And in between them... lies a realm drowned in darkness."

"A shadowed world connecting both ends—my great universe on one side, the Shrouding the Heavens realm on the other."

Shen Lian's eyes flashed. His thoughts turned to the very first scene shown from the Shrouding the Heavens world.

A being even he found terrifying had sealed itself within a Third Stage bronze coffin, buried on a grand plateau.

Later, when Chaos God Thunder descended and shattered the plateau, six great ancestors emerged, tainted by the fallen being's aura.

"Unfortunately, there's still too little information..."

Shen Lian sighed.

Yet, compared to before, he had definitely caught onto something significant.

"Ah, by the way, Your Majesty Emperor Lian," Yuan Ye added, smiling, "Rong Sen has practiced the law you passed down. He's on the verge of breaking into the Quasi-Emperor Realm."

Shen Lian's gaze brightened.

Since his ascension to Great Emperor, there had been no new Quasi-Emperors except for the six under his command.

Rong Sen, an ancient powerhouse from the cosmic world, stood at the peak of Dao Zun. Now that he'd received a new law, it was only natural he would reach the Quasi-Emperor threshold.

"Good. Rong Sen has done well in guarding Jiehai. He deserves a reward."

With a casual flick of his finger, an immortal ray of light flew toward the boundary sea.

Then Shen Lian looked at Yuan Ye and the others and smiled.

"You all have been in the Quasi-Emperor Realm for tens of thousands of years. Yuan Ye, you especially—over a hundred thousand years, I recall. It's time you prepared for the leap into the Emperor Realm."

Yuan Ye and the others exchanged glances and let out helpless chuckles.

Breaking into the Emperor Realm wasn't so easy. Unlike the Shrouding the Heavens world, their path required an entirely different level of understanding and force.

Shen Lian sighed, seeing their expressions, and didn't press further.

Instead, he turned his gaze to the distant boundary sea, deep in thought.

He had a feeling—when the Gold List ranking across the heavens and worlds finally ended, it would mark the beginning of a cataclysm.

A collision between the world beyond the sea and the world of the universe was inevitable.
