Chapter 1807: Chapter 595: The First Heavenly Emperor
PS: The last two days, asking for monthly tickets! If everyone doesn’t vote for the monthly tickets, they will be wasted.

"Your injury this time is too severe."
Wood Sword Immortal Song Yan Nian raised his hand and summoned a mass of Qi-Blood from Chu Xisheng’s body.
This was him using the Heavenly Cutting Technique to forcibly extract part of the Heavenly Rules from Chu Xisheng’s body.
However, at present, he can only extract most of it.
After all, Wood Sword Immortal is not physically here.
His true form is still on Heavenly Candle Star, enduring the wrath of several Emperors and Ancestor Gods.
So the remaining ones, the hardest, can only be tackled by Chu Xisheng himself.
Chu Xisheng felt much lighter all over, gratefully inspecting his five internal organs and six hollow organs: "Thank you, Sword Immortal, you were a great help."
During those three hours in the Time Secret Realm, he had removed most of the easily extractable Heavenly Rules powers.
The remaining ones were quite tricky and troublesome.
If he were to solve them himself, it would take three to five days at least.
The intervention by the Wood Sword Immortal saved him half of the healing time.
"A mere effort, compared to your adventure, it’s insignificant."
Wood Sword Immortal turned his gaze to the ’Nine Luminaries Divine Wheel Sword’ behind Chu Xisheng: "The Creation Mother Tree has lost its spiritual wisdom, leaving only instinct, and my progress within is smooth. In two months, you can take your Nine Luminaries Divine Wheel Sword to my avatar under the Formless Divine Mountain."
He then raised his hand again, throwing some stones to Chu Xisheng: "And these are fragments of the Divine Contract Sky Tablet, which I found on Heavenly Candle Star half a month ago.
These should be Zhu Guangyin’s, hidden in the core of Heavenly Candle Star. The previous Heavenly Candle Star Lord became the True Spirit of the Cosmic Heaven Technique only with difficulty, and was further pushed aside after I took over Heavenly Candle Star. With His ability, He probably couldn’t enter the core, thus preserving these."
"Oh?"
Chu Xisheng’s spirit perked up.
The fragments of the Divine Contract Sky Tablet given by the Wood Sword Immortal were about the same amount as those he gained in the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace.
Piecing these fragments together, they already account for over one tenth of the entire Divine Contract Sky Tablet.
This doesn’t yet include the fragments under the National Suppression Array in Wang’an City.
Moreover, the fragments he possesses seem to be the core parts of the Divine Contract Sky Tablet, containing the essence, thus enabling some use of the core functionalities of the Sky Tablet.
In the past, after the Divine Contract Sky Tablet shattered, its core parts were taken by the strongest Gods like Yang God, Moon God, and Time God.
Especially Yang God Tai Hao, who became the tenth Heavenly Emperor.
Most of the fragments Chu Xisheng got from the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace likely originated from Him.
And the Time God Zhu Guangyin was the most powerful of the Gods back then, only three or four levels below the combined strength of Yang God and Moon God.
The fragments of the Divine Contract Sky Tablet in His hand were also rather crucial parts.
"Great treasure!"
Looking at the Sky Tablet fragments in his hand, Chu Xisheng first showed a hint of joy and then a trace of regret: "What a pity! I heard that after the Divine Contract Sky Tablet shattered, it was divided among many Ancestor Gods and Emperors. The majority of the remaining fragments are in their hands, leaving me with almost no chance of collecting the full Sky Tablet."
He once had the idea of restoring this ancient Divine Artifact.
But as he understood more about the Divine Contract Sky Tablet, the hope seemed increasingly slim.
Initially, this had little help for him, becoming useless.
Besides allowing communication ignoring distance and terrain, the Sky Tablet fragments only play certain roles in various divine contracts.
Moreover, the Divine Contract Sky Tablet can borrow Heavenly Rules powers from the Gods named in the Sky Tablet.
But as Chu Xisheng leveled up, the three Gods in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave and numerous Demigods were beneath his notice.
As for those at higher levels, Chu Xisheng couldn’t reach before.
He just had a tiny bit of the Sky Tablet fragments, unable to wield powerful Sky Tablet forces.
However, now he can try to ’borrow’ some Heavenly Rules powers from the middle-level Gods named in the Sky Tablet.
"Speaking of the Divine Contract Sky Tablet—"
Wood Sword Immortal’s expression changed, speaking seriously about one matter: "Xisheng, do you know the first owner of the Divine Contract Sky Tablet?"
"It was the first Heavenly Emperor, right?"
Putting the Sky Tablet fragments into his sleeve, Chu Xisheng raised his head to meet the gaze of Wood Sword Immortal: "She was also the first owner of the Two Books of Precepts. I’ve inquired about her affairs, but neither the classics of our Human Clan, nor the history recorded by the Giant Spirit’s Divine Temples have much description of the First Heavenly Emperor.
However, Divine Chihuo said that the First Heavenly Emperor was not only the only non-Pangu bloodline among all the Heavenly Emperors but also a female. Her experience is legendary, said to originate from a ’Etu’ born in the Chaos Era.
After awakening spiritual wisdom, this creature deceitfully advanced, gradually becoming one of the most powerful Gods after Pangu. It even gained trust from all sides, revered as the World’s Ruler, and labeled as the Heavenly Emperor. She crafted the Divine Contract Sky Tablet and the Two Books of Precepts, thereby controlling a hundred clans and subjugating all Gods. But it’s rumored that after she became Emperor, she was besieged and killed by the united forces of various clans."
Etu—its form resembles a rabbit, with a human face capable of speech, often deceiving others, speaking east and heading west, speaking evil yet being kind. Its meat is delicious, but eating it makes one’s words unreliable.
It’s a naturally weak but benevolent Divine Beast, possessing a lovely appearance, a physique reminiscent of a rabbit, graceful gestures scattering spiritual energy with every move.
