319: Emperor of Heaven

“It nearly wiped out Ziwei Ancient City completely.”

At these words, everyone couldn't help but shiver.

Any Ancient City of life could be wiped out.

But Ziwei Ancient City was different; its Foundation was completely in Fusion with Ziwei Ancient Star.

Once the Ancient City was wiped out, Ziwei Ancient Star would also collapse.

This was the Human Race's ancestral land.

The former location of the Imperial Court.

The Starry Sky Ancient Road was able to exist for so long precisely because the Human Emperor connected everything.

And the source of these Garrison Commanders' ability to live long in The Mortal World also lay in the special nature of Ziwei Ancient Star.

If it were truly wiped out, they too would reach the end of their lives.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the human emperor ancient seal unleashed its power.

It froze everything in reality.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh deeply.

“Thankfully, although this great battle was extremely tragic, it eventually concluded, and the Ancient City did not disappear.”

One person reached a conclusion on the matter.

But then someone suddenly spoke.

“What method did that person use? Why was he able to claim the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit? If he comes again in the future, will Ziwei Ancient Star be completely destroyed?”

At these words, everyone's expressions changed.

Did this person mean to eliminate that Human Race Prodigy?

But, if he were to summon that terrifyingly powerful phantom again… everyone was silent for a moment.

However, this person spoke again.

“I know what you are all wary of, but that terrifying Law, even Great Sages like us could be wiped out by it. How many times can that kid, who is only at the Saint Realm, use it?”

“This might be our best chance to capture him. Otherwise, if he acts recklessly in the future and wipes Ziwei Ancient City from reality, the entire Ancient Road will also disappear from The Mortal World, and the Dark Turmoil might descend upon the world.”

At these words, everyone fell silent.

However, after a moment, their figures stirred.

They seemed to be heading towards the battlefield, intending to directly eliminate the existence that summoned the Heavenly Emperor's phantom.

But just then, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared before them all.

“No one is to interfere with any conflicts on the Ancient Road, and Garrison Commanders are not to arbitrarily eliminate young Prodigies.”

“Mad Old Man, you are confused!”

“This young man poses such a great threat to the Human Race. If he uses that terrifying Law again, the Dark Turmoil will descend upon the world. Is this what you wish to see?”

A terrifyingly powerful Great Sage spoke, trying to persuade him.

The white-haired old man, however, gently shook his head.

“It has nothing to do with us; we only need to adhere to our mission.”

“Hmph! The Human Emperor has been dead for a million years. Sticking rigidly to the mission will only plunge the Human Race into a more difficult situation.”

“Once the Starry Sky Ancient Road is wiped out, it will be a turmoil for the entire Human Race. It will likely be countless forbidden zones with Dark Supremes emerging simultaneously, and all living beings between Heaven and Earth will be annihilated.”

“If you don’t act, I will!”

As he spoke, a resplendent golden divine spear appeared in his hand.

He was determined to suppress Wang Gou in The Mortal World.

But the white-haired old man appeared before him once more.

“Even if what you say is reasonable, a mission is a mission. We once lived in the same era as the Human Emperor, fought for the Imperial Court in all directions, and established immortal merits.”

“Now, after a million years, do you no longer respect the Human Emperor?”

His aged eyes exerted immense pressure.

The person immediately fell silent.

However, the other Great Sages still wanted to persuade him.

The white-haired old man spoke leisurely once more.

“There's no need to worry. Before the Human Emperor left, he entrusted me with the saying that things will turn for the better after reaching an extreme.”

“Even if darkness descends upon the world, there will be a glimmer of hope in despair.”

“For the Human Race, this might lead to transcendence, and all races will undergo a major reshuffle. This will also be an opportunity for us.”

“And…”

At this point, the white-haired old man paused.

Everyone couldn't help but look at him.

Their hearts were all suspended.

This was the Human Emperor's closest guard, Great Sage Tongtian.

Rumor has it that he was only one step away from becoming a Great Emperor.

And his relationship with the Human Emperor was the closest.

The last words left before his departure must have been incredibly astonishing.

But Great Sage Tongtian remained silent for a long time, not speaking again.

The Great Sage who had spoken first couldn't help but walk over.

“Mad Old Man, and what? Why won't you say? Is there a great secret, a great terror? Or are we… never mind. If you don't want to say, I'll go kill that young man.”

Hearing this, Great Sage Tongtian couldn't help but give a bitter smile, then slowly spoke.

“The Human Emperor once said that in the darkest, most turbulent era, a peerless expert would be born. He would be the Heavenly Emperor, suppressing everything in The Mortal World, transcending above Great Emperors.”

Everyone gasped.

Heavenly Emperor?

That young man just now seemed to have mentioned this Dao Fruit.

Is there some connection between the two?

Suddenly, everyone's breathing grew heavy.

They kept pondering in their minds.

What is a Heavenly Emperor?

A Realm above Great Emperors? Or a unique title and honor?

The phantom summoned by that young man earlier should have been the Heavenly Emperor.

Just a single attraction could erase everything from reality.

How terrifying must that be?

These two… Seeing everyone lost in thought.

Great Sage Tongtian spoke again.

“In the Human Emperor's words, Heavenly Emperor is not a Realm; Great Emperor is already the highest Realm.”

“But Heavenly Emperor is the invincible one among Great Emperors, transcending above all Great Emperors. It is a unique title and honor, or perhaps it can be called a legend.”

“Legend has it that when the ancient Heavenly Court still existed, there was a Heavenly Emperor who controlled all gods in the world.”

At this point.

Great Sage Tongtian's tone shifted, and he mentioned the young man from earlier.

“I strongly suspect that young man has a profound Karma with the Heavenly Emperor. Perhaps the Heavenly Emperor is his future self. No one is to act recklessly; if I find out, I will surely execute them without mercy.”

At these words, everyone couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle.

They had just thought of this possibility.

If that young man was truly connected to the Heavenly Emperor, they indeed wouldn't dare to act rashly.

It's just, could such a million-year-old deduction truly come true in reality?

Although the title of Heavenly Emperor was novel and even ancient, one had appeared in the past mythological era, above the ancient Heavenly Court.

It was not unfounded.

But for a young man from the Wang family to be connected to the Heavenly Emperor, this seemed a bit too Xuanhuan.

For a moment, everyone was speechless, looking at each other.

And in the silence, Great Sage Tongtian spoke again.

“Of course, this is just a guess. In any case, in this Golden Age, among the young Prodigies, a Heavenly Emperor will surely emerge who will end the past, present, and future, resolving all enemies. He will rewrite the entire Universe Era.”

“He will completely quell the Dark Turmoil.”

“Mad Old Man, isn't what you're saying a bit too Xuanhuan? For a young man to be connected to the Heavenly Emperor, first saying it's his future self, then saying it's just a guess, isn't that a bit too childish?”
