Chapter 1642: Chapter 1625: The Opportunity to Become Emperor
Fate is unpredictable, beyond comprehension.
This is a withering era, filled with grief and sorrow, where too many have been buried in bloodshed, and those old acquaintances still surviving are very scarce. Xiao Ye cherishes these old friends dearly.
The Nan Gong Xingyu siblings can be considered his benefactors, and knowing that Qing Wu is still alive, he naturally feels happy.
However, some marks between them may never be erased, which is something he is unwilling to see.
After all, no matter what, it was he who personally destroyed Nan Gong Xingyu, so he feels a deep sense of guilt towards Qing Wu. Although he has questions in his heart, he cannot speak them out.
After Qing Wu left, Bing Ya arrived gracefully.
She was extraordinarily intelligent, seeing a trace of something unusual from Qing Wu, but she did not ask much.
"Is the path of invincibility destined to be filled with loneliness? In the end, how many can accompany me to the very last?"
Xiao Ye sat cross-legged, gazing up at the heavenly dome, silent for a long time.
He has not yet fully embarked on the path of invincibility, but he already feels loneliness.
Invincibility stands for loneliness.
Reaching the realm of the Human Race Four Emperors, with the passing of time, they can still endure in the world, yet those close to them might have turned to piles of white bones; even seeing former rivals would be impossible.
This is an unsolvable loneliness; the power of time is terrifyingly potent, leaving people with endless pain and bitterness.
The thought of watching those around him leave one after another, leaving the world, is something Xiao Ye cannot bear.
The parting words of rupture from Qing Wu made Xiao Ye feel a latent crisis.
"Although I long for the Emperor Realm, that is not my path."
"If I proclaim myself Emperor, I will not let those around me wither in the tides of time."
"What a Great Emperor cannot accomplish, I, Xiao Ye, shall achieve!" Xiao Ye’s eyes burst forth with a blazing light.
After experiencing the dark turmoil, Xiao Ye’s mental realm has quietly changed.
To protect his family and friends and resist the power of time, at least becoming a Great Emperor is required.
And after settling everything, his target is singular—to become a Great Emperor, or even, with the help of the Human Race Four Emperors, to become a Fusion Emperor.
"I wonder when the four Masters will reemerge and enlighten me on everything." Xiao Ye quietly awaits.
Besides accompanying his family and guiding his only disciple Lin Wen, he also travels the True Spirit Continent, seeking the whereabouts of the Ultimate Palace Main Palace Master.
However, the Ultimate Palace Main Palace Master seems to be a mere name, existing not in reality, or rather, scared off by the Human Race Four Emperors, leaving no trace behind.
Time passes quickly, and soon a month has elapsed.
The True Spirit Continent has fully restored its peace.
Whether or not there are still crises in the True Spirit Continent, under the deterrence of the Four Emperors, any turmoil will no longer exist.
The martial artists of the True Spirit Continent began to recuperate and cultivate diligently, seemingly indicating that after decline, a glorious new era is about to dawn.
Another month later, the heavens of the True Spirit Continent surged vast, with the Tao and the law of the Emperor Realm interweaving, turning heaven and earth upside down, with the primordial energy of the entire continent in turmoil. A towering young man appeared, whose every move caused the Ten Thousand Dao to lament.
The Unrivaled Emperor has descended!
He walks among the world, seemingly searching for traces he still recognizes on this land.
Sometimes he sits silently before a lonely peak or contemplates over a vast ocean, having even struck to unveil an ancient tomb.
Ultimately, he lets out a long sigh, stepping directly into the Unrivaled Emperor Domain.
"Has it already crumbled?"
"With the passing of ages, no force can be eternally prosperous; after reaching extreme brilliance comes desolation. This is the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, none can evade it."
During the period of dark turmoil, the Unrivaled Emperor Domain aligned with the Heavenly Emperor. Although ultimately overturned by Xiao Ye, the ancestral land remains the most preserved among the Four Great Emperor Domains.
The Unrivaled Emperor Domain was personally established by the Unrivaled Emperor and promoted to its peak, entrusted to a close friend.
Yet now, it has turned to ruins, overgrown with weeds, devoid of any martial artists.
The Unrivaled Emperor stands quietly there, his deep eyes devoid of sorrow or anger, very calm.
"Xiao Ye, I hope the burdens we’ve borne will not replay upon you; you are our hope."
Afterward, he left the Unrivaled Emperor Domain, descending directly upon Wuji Sect.
On this day, the entire Wuji City was enveloped in endless anomalies, with the light of red clouds piercing through the sky, completely transforming into a Martial Arts Holy Land, with Dao sounds resonating, benefiting Wuji Sect martial artists; many of them advanced directly that day, rapidly increasing their cultivation!
The Unrivaled Emperor has made contributions to this withering era, establishing numerous martial arts secret manuals, concealed within Wuji Sect.
The entire True Spirit Continent is in an uproar!
With the Unrivaled Emperor’s arrival, does it signify that the Cang Clan Patriarch and the Heavenly Emperor have already fallen?
And why have the other Three Emperors not appeared simultaneously?
Countless martial artists showed up, and many old eccentrics couldn’t resist visiting Wuji Sect to see the Unrivaled Emperor!
They have too many questions, eager to seek enlightenment from the Great Emperor.
However, the Emperor’s Power is like a prison, beyond their capacity to approach!
In Wuji Sect, many martial artists dared not even breathe heavily, but their faces flushed with excitement.
A true Great Emperor sitting in their Wuji Sect—a dreamlike experience for them.
"Unrivaled Master!"
In Wuji Hall, Xiao Ye respectfully salutes the Unrivaled Emperor, sincerely inquiring about the results of the Emperor Battle and detailing the threat of the Ultimate Palace Main Palace Master.
Regardless of whether the Ultimate Palace Main Palace Master truly exists, this threat must be dispelled, otherwise Xiao Ye cannot be at peace.
"Xiao Ye, do you know why those who used Supreme Evil Techniques to seal themselves choose to resurrect in this era?"
The Unrivaled Emperor did not answer Xiao Ye but instead calmly posed a question.
"Choosing to resurrect in this era?" Xiao Ye was taken aback.
Yes!
Why did the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People, the Cang Clan Patriarch, and so many Half-Emperor Strong People, who all used Ancient Evil Techniques to extend their longevity and evade the erosion of time, choose to resurrect in this era?
This is extremely peculiar, definitely not a coincidence!
If not for the Unrivaled Emperor mentioning it, he wouldn’t have seriously thought about it.
Xiao Ye has an intuition—it might relate to the secrets of his sect.
"Please enlighten me, Unrivaled Master." Xiao Ye took a deep breath and asked.
"Because after the No Emperor Era dawned, during the Ancient Era, a Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect exhausted every effort to predict the heavenly mechanism and ultimately concluded that someone would proclaim Emperor in this era."
"They resurrected successively in this era to seize the opportunity to proclaim Emperor, yet they are completely unaware of how to do so. It is truly pitiful."
The Unrivaled Emperor glanced at Xiao Ye, speaking plainly.
