Chapter 247 Chapter 247: A New Chapter

Xu Shan was taken aback by the sight that greeted him upon his return. The devastation before him far surpassed anything he could have expected to be waiting for him during his return.

The once majestic Celestial Realm now lay in ruins, devoid of any signs of life. Cities that were once bustling with activity now lay in ruins, reduced to nothing but rubble and ashes.

Having transmigrated into the body of the Third Prince of the Eternal Dynasty, Xu Shan didn't have a strong emotional attachment to this world.

He had spent very little time here and had no personal connections or friendships. However, despite this lack of personal investment, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

It was evident that the person responsible for the destruction of the Celestial Realm was sending a clear message to him.

They wanted him to understand that even a realm as powerful as the Celestial Realm could be brought to its knees. The destruction served as a reminder of the potential consequences he himself would face.

Xu Shan's face remained devoid of emotion, leaving the woman standing beside him perplexed. She couldn't decipher his thoughts or intentions. However, before long, she felt a chilling sensation crawl down her spine.

The heavy aura of killing intent permeated the entire realm, and its source was none other than Xu Shan himself.

Despite both of them being in the first layer of the Immortal Celestial Realm, she found herself suffocating under the sheer force of his killing intent. The vast disparity in strength between them became glaringly evident.

Though Xu Shan's face remained unreadable, his intense killing intent conveyed his thoughts clearly. It also made the woman realise that the carnage that had befallen this place was not of his doing.

Fortunately, before the Divine Empress could be harmed, Xu Shan retracted his killing intent. In that moment, a wave of relief washed over the woman.

"Are you alright?" she asked Xu Shan.

"Now that you've seen my home, we should get to our new destination." Xu Shan stood up, creating an aura sword.

He used the sword to slice through space and time, cutting through the barrier that seperated the Upper Realm from the Immortal Realm.

As he sliced through the space, a spatial crack opened. The Spatial Crack was wide enough for many people to enter. But slowly, the space was healing itself.

Xu Shan observed the ruined world one last time. His mind still had many questions. Why were the people from the Heavenly Realm after him? Was it because they knew about the Book of Desires? Or was there something else?

If it was about the Book of Desires, they wouldn't have destroyed an entire world. It wasn't something that could be done by a Heaven's Chosen. Instead, it was only something that a Villain like him could do.

He had a feeling that this wasn't because of the Book of Desires. It was because of him. But why? That question kept troubling him. Why were they related to him?

He didn't think much as the portal was getting smaller by the second. He stepped closer to the Divine Empress, placing his arms around her waist.

Holding her, he entered the Spatial Crack, leaving behind his temporary home, not knowing if he was ever going to return to this godforsaken place.

Both him and the Divine Empress had lost their homes. One lost out because of her own ambitions to become stronger.

Meanwhile the other lost his home twice. Once, because of death. As for the second time, it was at the hands of someone else.

None of them had a place to return to. All they had were their separate desires that made them walk down this path.

At this moment, the Divine Empress didn't realise just what kind of existence she was accompanying and how that existence was going to turn the world upside down.

The moment Xu Shan stepped into the Realm of Immortals, it started a new chapter in his life... A dark chapter that was something that the world wasn't ready for...
