Chapter 1643: Chapter 1626: The Path Beyond True Spirit
"The Heavenly Mechanism Sect from the Ancient Era predicted that someone would become emperor in this lifetime?" Xiao Ye gasped upon hearing this.
Heavens!
What kind of sect is the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?
In the long river of time in the Ancient Era, this sect’s shadow surprisingly existed?
According to the Unrivaled Emperor, doesn’t that mean the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is the culprit behind the Dark Turmoil and the Cang Clan Patriarch’s tribulations?
Even throughout this lifetime, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect appeared several times around him, and he subtly became entangled with this sect’s cause and effect.
For instance, if not for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s reminder, he would not have discovered so quickly that Nangong Xingyu was already controlled by the Heavenly Emperor, pushing him to the opposite side and further prompting the Cang Clan Patriarch to emerge.
Upon this realization, cold sweat rolled down Xiao Ye’s back.
He found that he had somewhat underestimated the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
What role does the Heavenly Mechanism Sect ultimately play on the True Spirit Continent?
"If I ever get a chance to encounter a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect again, I must personally investigate thoroughly!" Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with cold light.
"The Heavenly Mechanism Sect had already appeared in the era of this emperor, existing for ages almost equivalent to the Taiyi Palace."
"This emperor was curious as well, but found nothing."
The Unrivaled Emperor seemed to see the shock in Xiao Ye’s heart and spoke out.
"Master, what exactly is this opportunity to become emperor?" Xiao Ye took a deep breath and quickly asked.
He’s heard about the opportunity to become emperor twice already; this is what he cares most about.
He does not harbor arrogant delusions.
If the result deduced by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect from the Ancient Era is true, who will become emperor this lifetime might not necessarily be him; it could be someone else.
"You’ve finally hit the main point."
"In fact, the No Emperor Era on the True Spirit Continent was created by us, the Human Race Four Emperors."
"We four emperors joined forces to suppress the opportunity to become emperor, which led to thousands of years in the True Spirit Continent without anyone, despite emerging countless unparalleled heroes, managing to become emperor."
"Even the Cang Clan Patriarch, who clearly has the Tao and Law of the Great Emperor Realm, cannot become a true Great Emperor, no matter how long he secludes himself for a hundred or thousand years."
The Unrivaled Emperor laughed gently as he looked at Xiao Ye, speaking slowly, carrying an imposing presence as though figures like the Cang Clan Patriarch were merely pitiable ants in his eyes, flip his hand could change their fate.
"What!"
Xiao Ye trembled all over, stunned.
Originally, he thought the No Emperor Era arrived on the True Spirit Continent simply because there was no human hero to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Human Race Four Emperors.
Throughout history, countless heavenly prides and unparalleled heroes have bloodily fought all around to become emperor, even abandoning Cang Sheng, all for the chance to tread the Emperor Road and become a Great Emperor.
But the cause of all this actually was the selfless Human Race Four Emperors?
The dream of empire is void—if this were to be spread, it would probably chill the hearts of all Martial Artists on the True Spirit Continent, plunging them into despair.
Xiao Ye remained silent, waiting for the Unrivaled Emperor to provide an answer.
"Good temperament, our suppression of the opportunity to become emperor was also an act of helplessness." The Unrivaled Emperor glanced at Xiao Ye approvingly and then gazed skywards, his eyes becoming ethereal.
Xiao Ye’s heart trembled, attentive to hear.
"Once one becomes a Great Emperor, they can distinctly feel this world is too small; beyond True Spirit, there’s a much broader world, but filled with unknown dangers."
"Back when this emperor became emperor, I felt quite satisfied, so I established the Unrivaled Emperor Domain and reunited with family and friends for a hundred years before gradually tiring of such a life because, on the True Spirit Continent, this emperor really couldn’t find an opponent anymore."
"As Martial Artists, we should be like unsheathed weapons, drenched in battle, rather than gradually covered in mottled rust over the years."
"Thus, this emperor took that step, departing from the True Spirit Continent to the broader world."
"But... this emperor didn’t succeed; instead, I brought terrifying ’Spirit Demons’ to the True Spirit Continent. Helpless, this emperor could only return to guard the Human Clan silently, and once my family died, I secluded myself from the mortal world."
"Afterward, Tie Xue, Wudi, and Jue Dai Three Emperors appeared; they too discovered a broader world."
"But in the end, they made the same choice as this emperor, silently guarding the Human Clan of the True Spirit Continent."
The Unrivaled Emperor’s voice was ethereal, seemingly returning to those glorious years, with memories and sorrow.
Silently guarding the True Spirit Continent for nearly ten thousand years, watching one’s family and friends age and wither in the sands of time—how poignant is that?
"Unrivaled Master, what does all this have to do with the opportunity to become emperor?" Xiao Ye listened, his heart surging, asking once more.
"That’s because the number of ’Spirit Demons’ charging towards the True Spirit Continent is increasing, reaching a horrifying count during Jue Dai’s time, which even left us Four Emperors challenged."
"Helplessly, we Four Emperors had to join forces to seal off the route beyond the True Spirit Continent."
"Doing so is certainly very secure; we Four Emperors can presently handle the Spirit Demons, but from that point onward, the True Spirit Continent became isolated, and the opportunity to become emperor vanished along with it."
"You could say the opportunity to become emperor is in our Four Emperors’ hands." The Unrivaled Emperor said.
"This..."
Xiao Ye’s face filled with shock, utterly speechless.
Everything the Unrivaled Emperor revealed today is too astounding, practically overturning his understanding.
Without needing much explanation from the Unrivaled Emperor, he could also guess that the opportunity to become emperor must be related to that broader world.
Could it be that the vast starry sky he saw in the Emperor World is the route beyond the True Spirit Continent?
And what exactly are the Spirit Demons, causing even the Human Race Four Emperors to struggle against them?
"Xiao Ye, these thousands of years have been a great torment for us Four Emperors; we do not wish to continue this way, hence, we secretly selected disciples for cultivation."
"Jue Dai also initiated the ’Fusion Emperor’ plan, secretly sending into the Endless Sea, ultimately achieving you."
"You are the hope of us Human Race Four Emperors!"
"As long as you can tread the Fusion Emperor Road, embodying all our Four Emperors’ strengths, you will surely sweep away all Spirit Demons and potentially lead us to step out, toward the broader world!"
The Unrivaled Emperor’s gaze was penetrating, staring at Xiao Ye as he spoke each word earnestly.
"I am the hope of the Four Emperors..."
Xiao Ye smiled wryly upon hearing this, yet his heart surged with passion.
"I’ve always been curious about the origin of the Time Tower; now it seems the ’Time Dominator’ comes from beyond the True Spirit Continent."
"A higher level still awaits my exploration!" Xiao Ye’s eyes blazed fervently.
