Chapter 63: Resurrecting the deceased

Zenith Heaven Emperor turned to Ah Chang, a determined glint in his eyes. "Ah Chang, the time has come for the resurrection of our fallen Heavenly Court members. I have meticulously crafted a plan, and now I require your assistance. Will you accompany me to a secluded and empty place where we can perform this momentous task?"

Ah Chang's eyes widened in shock, his mind struggling to grasp the magnitude of what Zenith Heaven Emperor proposed. The resurrection of the deceased members was a feat that defied the natural order, a realm of possibility that few could even fathom. They were after all dead for far too long. Yet, there was an unwavering trust in his heart, an unbreakable bond between him and his Junior Brother.

After a moment of contemplation, Ah Chang nodded, his voice filled with a mix of astonishment and determination. "Senior Brother, I am both amazed and honored by your trust in me. I shall follow you."

With their agreement sealed, Zenith Heaven Emperor and Ah Chang set off. The anticipation hung heavy in the air as they traversed the Heavenly Court, their path leading them to an empty, sacred space.

In this secluded haven, surrounded by a tranquil aura, Zenith Heaven Emperor began to set the stage for the grand revival. His hands moved with grace and precision, channeling his immense power and expertise into the intricate steps of the resurrection ritual. Ah Chang watched in awe, his heart brimming with anticipation for what was to come.

As the preparations reached their climax, Zenith Heaven Emperor turned to Ah Chang, a solemn expression on his face. "Ah Chang, this is a pivotal moment for our Heavenly Court. With the resurrection of our fallen members, we shall rewrite the history of All Heavens and Myriad Realms. Are you ready?"

Ah Chang's voice quivered with a mix of excitement and trepidation. "Senior Brother, I stand ready by your side. Let us embark on this journey together, for the future of the Heavenly Court!"

Their eyes met, a silent understanding passing between them. With a resolute nod, Zenith Heaven Emperor took a deep breath, his aura radiating with indomitable strength. He raised his hands, invoking the power of his Way of Eternal Life, and began the sacred incantations that would awaken the dormant souls.

As Zenith Heaven Emperor focused his energy and concentration on the task at hand, the air around him crackled with the force of his power. With a deep breath, he began to channel his Visionary Pathway, envisioning a time when the deceased members of the Heavenly Court were once again alive and well.

The room filled with a blinding light as his power surged forth, connecting with the Way of the Heavenly Court and bringing forth the souls of those who had long since passed away. With a wave of his hand, the souls of the deceased Heavenly Court members materialized, their forms gradually solidifying before the eyes of the astonished onlookers. One by one, they materialized before him, looking dazed and disoriented as they took in their surroundings.

Ah Chang, now the esteemed Prime Minister of the Heavenly Court, stood by Zenith Heaven Emperor's side, his presence lending an air of authority and wisdom to the proceedings. The resurrected members blinked in disbelief, their eyes filled with wonder and confusion as they adjusted to their newfound existence.

"My esteemed Heavenly Court members, I stand before you today as the son of the previous Heavenly Emperor. I am Zenith Heaven Emperor!" Zenith Heaven Emperor proclaimed, his voice carrying a mix of pride and solemnity.

Whispers of astonishment swept through the crowd of the resurrected members, their voices carrying a mix of disbelief and awe. Murmurs traveled like ripples in a pond, blending into a symphony of incredulous voices.

"Impossible," one whispered, eyes wide with shock. "How can this be? The mischievous troublemaker from the past is actually the Heavenly Emperor's son?"

The murmurs grew louder, spreading like wildfire through the ranks of the resurrected. Skepticism mingled with curiosity as they exchanged glances, attempting to reconcile their memories of Zenith Heaven Emperor with this newfound revelation.

Indeed, Zenith Heaven Emperor had always possessed a mischievous streak, leaving a trail of laughter and chaos wherever he went. His pranks were legendary, his antics the talk of the Heavenly Court. But behind that mischievous facade lay a secret that had been tightly guarded by only a select few.

Zenith Heaven Emperor continued, his voice resonating with confidence and determination. "The Heavenly Court, once a beacon of power and authority, crumbled under the weight of unforeseen circumstances. But fear not, for we have rebuilt it, brick by brick, restoring its majesty and glory. And now, with your resurrection, we can forge a new era for All Heavens and Myriad Realms."

He paused, allowing the significance of their return to sink in. The resurrected members exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of gratitude and curiosity. They had returned from the abyss of death, finding themselves in a world reshaped by unseen forces.

The resurrected members exchanged bewildered glances, their memories still fragmented from their time in the afterlife. Zenith Heaven Emperor continued, his words flowing with a sense of purpose. "You may be wondering how this resurrection is possible. Through the power of my Way of Eternal Life, I have envisioned that a connection between us always existed. Utilizing the Way of the Heavenly Court, I summoned you back, breathing life into your beings once more."

Gasps of astonishment echoed through the hall as the resurrected members began to grasp the magnitude of what had occurred. Zenith Heaven Emperor's Way of Eternal Life had transcended the boundaries of time, life and death, defying the natural order of the world.

With a warm smile, Zenith Heaven Emperor once again introduced himself to the resurrected members, his voice laced with sincerity. "I am your Heavenly Emperor, your new leader. From this day forth, I pledge to lead the Heavenly Court with unwavering dedication and unwavering loyalty."

Having said this, Ah Chang stepped forward, his presence commanding attention. "As some of you might know already I am Ah Chang, and currently I serve as the Prime Minister appointed by Zenith Heaven Emperor. I am his right-hand man, assisting the Heavenly Emperor in his endeavors. Together, we shall restore the glory and grandeur of the Heavenly Court."

Whispers of disbelief and excitement filled the hall as the resurrected members began to comprehend the chain of events that had unfolded in their absence. The collapse of the Heavenly Court, its subsequent rebirth, and the emergence of Zenith Heaven Emperor as their leader, these revelations stirred their emotions and ignited a sense of hope within their hearts.

After the whispers of the resurrected faded, a solemn hush fell upon the resurrected members of the Heavenly Court. They exchanged glances filled with determination, their eyes shining with renewed purpose. Stepping forward one by one, they knelt before their new Heavenly Emperor and Prime Minister, their voices filled with unwavering loyalty.

"We, the members of the Heavenly Court, pledge our undying loyalty and devotion to you, Heavenly Emperor," they spoke in unison, their voices resonating with unwavering resolve. "We swear to serve the Heavenly Court with unwavering loyalty, to uphold its values and protect its sanctity. Our lives are yours, and our cultivation is at your command."

"We pledge our lives, our cultivation, and our unwavering support to the restoration of the Heavenly Court." proclaimed in unison, their voices echoing with conviction.

Their solemn oath reverberated through the now not so empty grand chamber, carrying the weight of their commitment. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation and newfound unity. The Heavenly Court, once fractured and scattered, now stands on the precipice of a glorious rebirth.

And then, in a crescendo of voices, the resurrected members shouted with fervor and enthusiasm, "All Hail the Emperor!"

"All Hail the Heavenly Court!"
