The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1076 No More Defeats, Evil Ancestor Merges with the Dao!
"All beings could accept their own incompetence if they hadn't taken the shortcut of memory infusion..."

Ancient emperors whispered, and great emperors sighed. Although they had relied on eating Ye Xue buns to ascend step by step to unimaginable heights over the years, in their early days, in their own era, they had been the world's foremost geniuses, defeating all rivals and powerful enemies!
He once climbed to the top by stepping on countless outstanding figures in the world, establishing invincible confidence, but was defeated by time in the Dharma-ending Age and an era where immortality was impossible; he slowly recovered from the abyss of death, arriving in the era belonging to the Demon Ancestor, only to witness several peerless Heavenly Emperors walking the path of immortality in the mortal world, and felt ashamed of his inferiority...

These ups and downs in life deeply affected them, melting away their overconfidence and arrogance. They let go of their pride and picked up the bitter leaves... no, I mean, they picked up perseverance and forged ahead step by step.

They truly realized that among the world's most remarkable figures, there are always some who can go to extremes to the point of being utterly insane, so ordinary people shouldn't even think about trying to extort money from them!

Having taken things easy and let go, they have a calm mindset. If there's a chance to get on the bus or get some benefits, they'll seize it; if not, they'll face it calmly, move forward step by step, and not complain about fate or others.

But how many people in the world can have such a state of mind?
Suddenly gaining earth-shattering power, he embarked on an unimaginable shortcut, rising to the top in one step, thinking that everything he wanted would come true. He didn't eat beef... but he was taught a lesson by the "God" and was beaten so badly that he covered his head with his hands and didn't know how to fight back.

This lesson is unforgettable. On the road to success, who can stand at the peak? Upon seeing Ye Fan, all dreams vanish!

Before he gained superpowers, all living beings saw the Heavenly Emperor as if they were frogs in a well looking at the moon in the sky.

After he gained superpowers, the world viewed the Evil Ancestor as a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

With a casual gesture, the "God" created a human-machine template based on Ye Fan's experiences... He gave him everything, from dual Dao Fruits to three paths!
Such dramatic ups and downs, such great successes and great failures... are truly exhilarating!
Beings who have received memory empowerment are already in a very unstable mental state; they are either already mentally unstable or on the path to mental instability... If this happens again, the result is predictable!

"Endless resentment surges, giving hope and then extinguishing it. While this certainly makes the hearts of all beings very lively, without any thought of being bored with the world, ... a fire is ignited in the hearts of all beings, wanting to risk everything to pull the main god off his horse!"

"What exactly is our Emperor Ye thinking?"

The Immortal Emperor of the Bitter Leaf Sect lamented, "The Supreme God has been able to cover up the heavens with one hand, and now he doesn't even need to pretend anymore. The words 'What can you do to me?' are practically slapped in the faces of the world."

"Does this mean he's confident that all living beings are merely pawns in his game, incapable of causing any upheaval? Or is this also part of his plan?"

"The brave warriors who once struggled and persevered under the guidance of us, the Bitter Leaf Faction, have now transformed into entirely new evil dragons..."

One Immortal Emperor after another exchanged opinions, while at the same time a blurry figure obscured this space and time, radiating an otherworldly brilliance... It was the Lord of Bitter Leaf!
"Enough. No matter what big news our Emperor Ye wants to make, our path will remain unchanged and we will see it through to the end... Before his departure, Fellow Daoist Wushi sent us his insights and reflections from his many years of research, completing the final piece of our plan!"

The Void Emperor's face was resolute. "Once upon a time, there was a being who reigned supreme over the world, trampling everything under his feet, letting life and death come and go as he pleased."

"In such a battle, all of humanity's worlds were defeated, and all their glory and history were buried under boundless flames..."

"This moment feels like...that moment from back then!"

"They are not the same people, but they have similar experiences, standing at the pinnacle, looking down on the struggles of all living beings..."

"According to the plan, we will continue the old world that was sealed in the Time Amber by the Demon Ancestor, and its new appearance will reflect the same flower soul..."

"Fellow Daoist Wushi has explored how to write a script and how to perform it in the human world. Such a skill of stealing the sky and changing the sun should be used now."

"The buried glory returns, let's fight again!"

"They lost the battles of the past, they perished... But this time, they will not lose!"

His voice was powerful and resonant, echoing in this forbidden zone of time and space, drawing the attention of one Immortal Emperor after another.

They are continuing a battle, and although the opponents have changed, they are still writing a hymn to courage.

Moreover, they are not fighting alone!
A little flower has already boarded this pirate ship. She sets off from another direction, taking over a broken monument. One day, she will raise a sky full of pollen, dazzling and sparkling!
"Yes, we won't lose again!"

At the same moment, a soft whisper, traversing the vast expanse of time, echoed back.

This drew the attention of many Celestial Emperors from the Bitter Leaf Sect, who then realized, "Friends of the Witch Clan, you've come too..."

"good."

Beyond the horizon of time and space, in the eternal unknown, there is another group of people, each powerful and transcendent, who together form a phantom, opening up a domain.

"We carry the echoes of the 'sacrifice to the world,' passing on the glory of the 'Five Virtues.' We were once descendants of the Demon Emperor, fighting under the banner of the Red-Haired Ancestor. After endless years of decline, we have awakened and embarked on a path that alternates between light and darkness..."

"From birth to death, and from death to birth, the cycle repeats itself... No group understands this truth better than us, perhaps so that one day we can shine with this brilliance..."

"The bizarre has brought us to our level, but it has also become our mortal enemy... We must get to the bottom of this and settle things once and for all."

This group responded that they were united and waiting together for the moment when everything would change dramatically!
……

"Seriously, aren't you being a bit too extreme?"

From within one seed, a blurry, seated figure spoke, curiously inquiring about another seed not far away.

"Extreme? You mean the difficulty template I added to the main god?"

On this seed, one can vaguely see some pitted and uneven marks, as if it had once tried to stop a chariot but was crushed and trampled, leaving it in a terrible state.

However, through the long years of recuperation and the nourishment it received from all living beings, its condition has greatly improved, and it has emerged from its dire state to recover and grow stronger.

This means that everything is under control, which makes them feel happy and excited.

“Not bad,” the seed said earlier. “Although I am confident that I was born to cultivate the Dao, born to face calamities, and that I can sweep away all enemies on the path to my rise…”

"But to be honest, if I were to place my younger self in this era, before reaching the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, it would be very difficult for me to achieve invincibility at the same level, and I might even face failure."

The being within the seed sighed softly.

It's incredible.

After all, who is he?
The true and supreme Heavenly Emperor, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!

Even he himself now has to lament the madness and abstractness of this era and the world, and he is no longer so confident in his younger self.

Yet, even a genius like him has to frown upon many figures of this era… but all of these figures have suffered terribly at the hands of the “Gods”…

"It doesn't matter!"

In response, a malevolent ancestor laughed, his voice emanating from the gradually repairing seed, “First of all, Fellow Daoist Huang, you underestimated your potential. It’s not that you were mediocre when you were young, it’s just that you didn’t have as many resources or shortcuts as the beings of this era… This doesn’t prove anything.”

"Under the same conditions, in this era, you would be even stronger, fellow Daoist."

"Secondly, a better era naturally requires more rigorous tests, to prove that each generation is stronger than the last, isn't it?"

"at last……"

"No pain No gain!"

Ye Fan declared confidently, "People aren't afraid of hard work! All living beings can endure hardship!" "I believe it!"

"A little hardship and setback can't break people's desire to achieve their goals!"

"Really?" Shi Hao asked doubtfully. "But why do I see many trial participants secretly cursing the 'Main God' and constantly insulting the planner's ancestors?"

"Such a good thing?" Ye Fan was overjoyed, then realized what he meant and coughed lightly, "No, it's outrageous!"

"My good intentions have not been rewarded. It is truly... truly saddening!"

"no!"

"I'll make a list later and treat those troublemakers who dare to speak ill of me differently. I'll give them more difficult and challenging trials so they'll know what they can and cannot say!"

Ye Fan was extremely agitated, as if he was truly outraged and willing to retaliate at any cost.

"..." Shi Hao felt that there was a sense of jubilation in this.

On second thought, considering Ye Fan's relationship with a certain "Bitter Leaf Sect"... he twitched his lips and decided not to dwell on the matter any longer.

'When will this cycle of revenge end?'

'Luckily, I don't have that much trouble at home... Never mind, let's not talk about it.'

Shi Hao wanted to laugh it off, but his smile froze as soon as it appeared.

One who has taken fifty steps doesn't laugh at one who has taken a hundred; the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother.

The love-hate relationship between Ye Fan and the Bitter Leaf Sect is indeed abstract.

However, the Supreme Bone of the Shi family, which is plug-and-play, doesn't seem to be much better... either.
There was this unlucky guy whose bone spurs were not only dug out by his older brother, but he also dug them out for his younger brother. It's just... unbelievable.

Later, faced with a terrifying enemy, these family feuds and grudges simply vanished with the wind.

Everyone has grown up, matured, and become more rational.

Thinking back on the past, Shi Hao sighed, "Ye Fan, you know what I'm talking about."

"I see."

Ye Fan's tone became serious, "All of this is also part of my plan."

"Although the actions of some powerful figures did indeed leave me bewildered... it seems that things haven't gotten out of control yet, and they've actually accelerated my progress."

"Back then, the two of us joined forces right under the noses of the Copper Coffin Master and the Demon Ancestor, wasn't it all to witness the brilliance of humanity?"

"Your path is being pioneered and unfolded, transforming freely and eternally... In this era, all beings, whether actively or passively, are transforming, unintentionally confirming your path!"

"And I, on the other hand, will bestow upon all beings a seed of a dream, reflecting it deep within the souls of people, using their various experiences, sights, and sounds as soil to nourish a towering tree that dreams for eternity..."

"I have condensed a Dao Fruit, which is the sum of my personal life. I have risen through endless tribulations and hardships, and endured countless sufferings to get to where I am today."

"I rise from suffering, attain enlightenment in eternal silence, witness the splendor of pollen, and embody the changes and dreams of the world, still blooming with fragrance even in the most desolate of eternal silence..."

"However, times have changed. The progenitors have faded into obscurity, and the overlords have changed their ways. They no longer torment the masses, nor can they bring them any shock or hardship..."

"I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands and increase the difficulty a bit."

Ye Fan whispered.

"What I ultimately do... may one day become a sharp blade, or a force, to free me from the deep prison I am trapped in."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao became serious and solemn. "You... are you going to take that step?"

"That was a step I had to take."

Ye Fan said, "If I want the main god to encompass all living beings in this world, there is an obstacle that cannot be ignored."

“A being who once transcended, yet still considers himself human, wavering between the Tao and humanity, becoming a thorn in one’s side.”

"Ultimately, it led to an eternal catastrophe that overturned all worlds."

"Now, although the Demon Ancestor defied the heavens and the world, starting from the One Path—he did not resolve the conflict between humanity and the nature of the Dao, but through the continuous upgrading and iteration of the bloodline method, he managed to make the One Path spiritual, evolve the human way, and directly give the 'Dao' humanity, thus solving the problem in an alternative way."

"However, this is not the answer I am satisfied with."

"I wish to delve into the most essential source... and the best way is to become one with the Tao."

"Only by thoroughly comprehending the Tao, becoming it, feeling it, and transcending it... can one truly address both the symptoms and the root cause."

“It’s not that I can’t do it.”

"Once, I dreamt of eternity, and from that dream emerged a 'Great Dream Immortal Venerable,' who embodied the most brilliant humanity and, after the ultimate sacrifice, transcended and sublimated."

"Similarly, in the great dream, I should also be able to become the coldest, most ruthless, and selfless Dao!"

Ye Fan sighed as he said this, "But I'm also worried."

"I'm worried that I'll completely sink into such a dream... no, not sink, but become indifferent."

"I don't care about reality or illusion, I don't care whether I wake up or not, I just calmly and mechanically maintain that dream, without end."

"Because, for the 'Tao,' why should one care about personal feelings and cause and effect?"

"Therefore, I always have to leave some backup plans."

Ye Fan said, "Let me escape from the state of utmost selflessness and altruism, and be liberated from this alternative form of eternal silence..."

"Therefore, I thought of... all living beings."

"Do they have a grudge against the 'main god'?"

"Having grievances...that's good!"
