The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1045 The Beginning!

"Woooooooo..."

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King struggled desperately, but he was no match for the God Emperor's clutches. He couldn't even utter a word, and his head was almost crushed.

"Are you out of your mind! You dare to say anything!"

The God Emperor's face was deathly pale. He looked left and right, up and down, staring wide-eyed... Fortunately, he didn't see anything that would frighten him, such as a being with red hair, black blood, gray mist and so on, or a boy holding the "Reason" divine axe.

"call!"

The God Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. But then he thought about it again and realized that this was normal, unexpected, yet reasonable.

After all, those two creatures, when they went mad, would do things far more outrageous than what they're about to do now!

The little tricks they're about to pull, while sensational, are nothing compared to those two—they're just greenhorns!

Moreover, in the end, even if they really make a huge mess, it won't be too difficult for those two to clean it up... perhaps they'll even be happy to see it happen.

When you reach that level, everything you see is already known, there are no challenges, and life is very boring... You'll be very happy if there's even a little surprise.

But if they really manage to create something extraordinary that leaves those two beings helpless... considering that level of transcendence, the various actions that reverse cause and effect, and the fact that once proven, it is eternally proven, then the birth of that extraordinary being is only natural, and whether or not they are involved is actually irrelevant.

With this thought, and the idea of ​​accepting one's fate arose, the Emperor suddenly felt a sense of peace and ease, and lowered his hand from his mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King's face was ashen. Just now, he had experienced a life-or-death ordeal and was almost blown off his head by the God Emperor in his panic!
But compared to the shock he felt, this person's life and death were nothing.

He looked at the God Emperor and the Willow Goddess, his scalp tingling, his voice trembling, "Do you really understand how crazy what you're doing is?!"

"Listen to me, pull back from the brink!" The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King pleaded earnestly, hoping they would change their minds.

"The arrow is on the string, and it must be released!" The Divine Emperor shook his head. "I have already crossed the red line and jumped off the cliff to become an aerial acrobat... Even if I fail, even if I have to gamble everything, I will fight with all my might!"

"..." The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King was speechless.

Oh, I forgot about his glorious past. He used to beat the current Emperor Ye in every way imaginable, like a cat playing with a mouse, relentlessly pursuing him until he had nowhere to run or hide. With this original sin, he will not let go of any hope of progress, otherwise, the misery of his remaining life is beyond imagination.

He looked at Liu Shen again, at his old friend.

“Little Stone’s Dao Fruit is in harmony with this world, existing alongside the foundation of existence. He raised his sword again, stirring up the radiant beliefs hidden deep within the hearts of all beings…” Willow God said, “He can transform into freedom, he can transform into eternity, which can serve as a layer of insurance, a safety net.”

"..." The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King was taken aback, but then calmed down. "The Desolate Heavenly Emperor?"

"Well, that's true."

He nodded thoughtfully, "Even if we fail and encounter major problems, we won't collapse instantly and become irreversible. We can apply the brakes."

"With this Heavenly Emperor as our last line of defense, we can cautiously try to do something..."

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King's eyes dimmed, and his mind became lively at this moment.

Since there's insurance to cover everything, why can't he challenge the limits of recklessness?
Who doesn't want to court death?
How can we progress without courting disaster? How can we explore the true meaning of life? How can we be certain that our lives are vibrant and truly our own?

The thoughts of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King underwent a subtle change.

"Trying and exploring are not only necessary for our progress and improvement, but also for the study of the ultimate question of human nature and self." Liu Shen's expression was very serious. "The Three Incarnations of the Copper Coffin Master and the Demon Ancestor, with their boundless power, dealt with the past calamities..."

"Although it eventually evolved into a humane approach, the handling of some historical issues was not perfect."

"The original prehistoric evil spirits were merely separated from their true spirit and memories by supreme power, causing their mad thoughts to become water without a source, allowing their collapsed true selves to heal themselves through the renewal and iteration of time..."

"Life is the greatest miracle in the world, and time is the best antidote, capable of diluting all obsessions and deep affections."

"Give life time, let the past be the past, and let the beginning begin..."

"The birth and evolution of humanity embodies the ultimate human nature and represents the highest collection of all beings. The Demon Ancestor endowed Him with the concept of 'life,' and in order to survive, He will make subtle internal adjustments."

"Just like the consciousness of the plateau, before it becomes spiritual, it is nothing more than an ignorant and unknowing great force, not much of a harm... But once it becomes spiritual, it has all sorts of instincts, seeking survival, seeking self-perfection, and thus there are strange and ominous disasters, bloodshed in the world, and great sacrifices to all living beings."

"By applying it in reverse, humanity is achieved. It knows best what all beings need, and it is not fixed or stagnant. There are always new people replacing the old ones... It takes the desire to help the largest number of beings move towards happiness and well-being as its fundamental goal, and it develops naturally."

"It can accommodate extreme minorities, maintain diversity, and self-regulate with the broadest common demands at its core."

"When choices need to be made, if an extreme ideology gains the upper hand, coercing, manipulating, and hijacking the will of the masses, it will also ruthlessly make the judgment of the times, abandoning and crushing..."

"This is humanity: the most compassionate, yet also the most ruthless."

"Just to live, and to live better."

Willow Goddess whispered, "The Demon Ancestor reshaped time and space, causing all living beings in the world to be in a constant cycle of reincarnation. Isn't the human realm the same?"

"Let go of the past and move towards the future. Everything is in constant flux, unlike the fixed rules of reincarnation."

"Historical documents have no meaning in the present... What do my past obsessions have to do with me now?"

"But in this way, an independent being has a finite life and a finite knowledge. Even an immortal being that cultivates to achieve immortality still has at least an initial starting point for life."

"They can summarize their lives, establish the most steadfast spiritual foundation for themselves that time cannot erode, and declare that I am 'me'."

"What about humanity?"

"It was born alongside the birth of the first living being, yet it does not regard it as its core or starting point. It follows the 'present' beings forever, constantly changing... It can possess wisdom and thought, but it lacks a firm and clear self."

"It is always on the path of abandoning the past and moving towards the future... I want to do something."

"Of course, each generation has its own mission... but there should always be a response, reflecting the spirit of each different era, like the rings of a tree!"

"..." The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King took a deep breath and rubbed his temples. "Is that so?"

“Ancestral spirit, you should know that once the arrow is released, there is no turning back.”

“Even among gods, there are benevolent gods and malevolent gods… In the past, not all the cultivators who walked this path in your spirit worship were good people.”

"Due to differences in stance and belief, there are always many who protect their own people while harming all living beings outside their own people."

"Humans become gods, and over time, they evolve into divine beings, then cleanse themselves of resentment... Even if you succeed, there will still be troubles to come."

"Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King said."

“But this is my path… Besides, things may not necessarily turn out the worst.” Willow God responded. “Alas…” The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King sighed, lost in deep thought and struggle.

Finally, he realized something and slowly nodded, "That's right, it might not be the worst-case scenario."

He remembered... Ye Fan.

Ye Fan's life was so bitter and difficult, and he was often on the verge of death, but he still managed to get through it.
He merely possesses a small gift from beings who are superior to those on the sacrificial path!
His example proves that even someone as wicked as the Evil Ancestor has a heart that wants to be the Heavenly Emperor, claiming that he is bright, just, noble, and great!

Today, humanity is at its best, and the brilliance and splendor of every era are still unfolding. Even with various differences in stance, it seems that we can still generally uphold the principles of "truth, goodness, and beauty," right?

After all, on the matter of "living", all living beings can reach a consensus!

"Okay! I agree!"

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King looked up at the God Emperor and the Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit, "Let us together establish a divine kingdom belonging to humanity, and let the ruins buried under all of time shine again!"

This sentence drew back the curtain on the "Divine Ruins," allowing the world to begin to be painted with a different color!
……

"...That's why I say you can't put all the blame for the problems of the times on me!"

"this is not right!"

"Yes, I admit it. The flourishing of the demonic path is thanks to me. I took power from an empress and allowed the spirit of the demonic path to transcend the universe and the ages..."

"But, in the end, I was just a catalyst, merely someone who unlocked and tapped into the potential of others!"

"My madness was intentional, it was something I had no choice but to do..."

"But what about some people?"

"Their abstraction is passive; their true talent is natural and effortless!"

"Sometimes even my ingenious schemes as the Demon Ancestor can't compare to their quick wit!"

"Look! Look!"

"What are they doing?"

"The Lake of Reincarnation, the Undying Mountain, the Heavens, the Immortal Tomb, the Ancient Forbidden Land, the Divine Ruins... they're back! They're all back!"

A young boy cried out in sorrow, grieving for all living beings in the world, for from this moment on, the world would be filled with trouble!
In response, some people in the audience rolled their eyes. Their expressions were complicated, as if they wanted to complain, but then swallowed their words when they saw an axe in the corner.

They could only mutter to themselves, 'It's as if... you didn't found the Bitter Leaf Sect!'

'Your words are too abstract; Emperor Ye is the most qualified to speak on this… Say those words to him now, and see if he's right or wrong. Just spit on him and that's it!'

Ye Fan's growth story is a history of blood and tears, and also an abstract history of the Demon Ancestor... Although, a big black dog bravely stood up and said that it would take responsibility for all of this.

But, everyone knows what's going on!
Of course, after the Demon Ancestor paved the way of bitter leaves, everyone's various impromptu performances on this road and on this stage... also existed, belonging to the sins that cannot be shaken off.

They were well aware that although everyone present had extraordinary identities and could be related to Ye Tiandi in some way, even if they were related by blood or marriage, they were all connected to him.

But one day, Emperor Ye might deliver a speech with tears in his eyes, a smile playing on his lips, and a look of deep sorrow on his face—

"As the Heavenly Emperor, I should be completely impartial and selfless!"

"Let the act of sacrificing family for the greater good begin with me, Ye Fan!"

In response, they felt... that they weren't incapable of giving it a shot, even though the chances were slim!

Thinking this, they all exclaimed, "Jiang Mozu, you're absolutely right!"

"Many people misunderstand you, unaware of your kind heart, and unable to comprehend your painstaking efforts..."

They went against their conscience and praised the Demon Ancestor repeatedly, extolling him to the heavens, making him the only compassionate and merciful Heavenly Venerable in the world who could save all beings from suffering and deliver them from calamity!

Although... this doesn't seem to be a problem?
After all, Jiang Mozu subdued a terminally ill patient, dealt a heavy blow to his mental problems, and finally managed to bring him back to normal!
Putting the process aside, the result is good!

"Calling me Great Celestial Venerable... I, Jiang, am unworthy of such a title!" Jiang Yifei said with a look of shame. "The Evil Ancestor could not cure it, and the forbidden zone will reignite. I can only watch helplessly as evil ravages the world... But I have already exhausted all my strength!"

"For the sake of this world, I have given up my path, my fruits of enlightenment...!"

Jiang Yifei's expression was sorrowful. "My path, my way, has vanished into the eternal sky, existing alongside time and humanity..."

"I shed my last drop of blood for humanity!"

"When evil returns, I am powerless to stop it..."

"but……"

His gaze was intense as he looked down at the crowd. "Thank goodness! You're all here!"

"You will bear the greatest mission to protect the world, to fight for all living beings, and to fight for humanity!"

"To safeguard peace on earth, to uphold the eternal order..."

"Go, establish our own lineage, protect the last hope of humanity, and leave behind the last spark of life for the world..."

Upon hearing this, all the creatures straightened their chests.

"Let's call it... Primordial!"

Speechlessness was the dominant theme at this moment; one by one, the pillars of the Bitter Leaf School had lost their expressions.

"Is this right? Is this right?"

"Is something wrong?" The Demon Ancestor rubbed his chin. "Otherwise, I feel like something's missing... This way, when they're all connected, there's a real sense of familiarity!"

"Alright, names are secondary; what matters is what I'm having you do..." Looking at the speechless crowd, Jiang Yifei chuckled, "All worlds in the mortal realm will be overthrown and rebuilt. Everything will undergo a great reckoning, a great destruction, and a great rebirth..."

"The old world that was once destroyed must have an explanation. I will recreate it, seal and freeze it in the amber of time, so that it may emerge in the future..."

"You will bear a mission to protect and guide..."

"This is a smuggling of time, a crossing of history, a life I gave them... Their future is in their own hands!"
