The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1099 Hey! I have a plan!
The ancient powerful beings, looking down upon the creatures of the new era, occupy the path of cultivation, digging pit after pit for those who come after them.

They had lived for so long and experienced so much, that they were always proud of those who came after them, feeling that no one could escape their grasp—"I have weathered so many storms, what haven't I seen?"
Young people, you can't escape the cage we've prepared for you, so just obediently accept the consequences!
but!
On this day, a Heavenly Emperor descended, dispelling the illusion and showing this group of Immortal Emperors the direction to strive for.

Although this effort may not succeed and ultimately depends on the interplay of individual talent and wisdom, it can at least create a relatively fair environment.

"Opening up new tracks and creating new advantages..."

A Celestial Emperor spoke softly, his eyes shining, "People are shaped by their experiences. The more exciting the experiences, the more brilliant the self they can forge. Hardship, tribulation, and countless tribulations..."

He was enlightened and deeply moved, as if his life path mirrored that of a certain extraordinary figure.

Bitter leaves, start!
No one understands better than Emperor Ye how "wonderful" experiences can be, forcibly polishing out the most brilliant brilliance, creating an unparalleled being who transcends the Dao of Sacrifice, and incidentally bringing along a large group of sycophants who cling to his coattails.

No pain No gain!
The story of Emperor Ye's life is so recountable that it would break the hearts of those who hear it and bring tears to their eyes.

Such a person, such an experience... even if they have a bunch of split personalities parasitizing their ego, what does it matter?

“In the past, we lived under the guidance of our predecessors, relying on their wisdom and talent to overcome one difficulty after another. We relied on external forces, which led to our current predicament.” Someone else said, “Every gift of fate comes with a price.”

"By relying on the wisdom of others and accumulating experience day by day, one unconsciously cultivates oneself into a different kind of being. Even if there seem to be several methods among the main gods that can resolve or suppress this, but..."

"Isn't that another kind of gift from fate, concealing the talent of behind-the-scenes manipulators who subtly assimilate us?"

"It's nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst."

"Only by embarking on our own path, living our own life, and venturing into a magnificent world that no one has ever experienced before—the most complex and exciting world—and proving the meaning of our existence in the full bloom of life... is the true way to break through this impasse!"

"That's not easy either," another Immortal Emperor murmured. "What kind of complex, tumultuous, and unconventional life would it take to break free from constraints and escape the predictions of those old fogies who have planted hidden schemes, and open their eyes to the world?"

"Perhaps... he could have ten or eight offspring and form a loving family?" Youlu Jincun's eyes flickered.

"Family, descendants?" Many Immortal Emperors shook their heads. "What's so outrageous about this?"

“What I mean is… to give birth myself!” the being at the end of the road murmured. “Perfect, it can also be considered as putting into practice the method of the second Heavenly Emperor who descended.”

Instantly, many Immortal Emperors' faces twisted in anger.

"Fellow Daoist, this is a bit too extreme!"

Although they are now all divided into themselves and have serious mental problems... I still think this topic is too mentally disturbing!
"If we can't challenge our values ​​or cross ethical boundaries, how can we give those behind-the-scenes manipulators a little spiritual shock and impact those different personalities that have infiltrated our true selves?"

Some emperors held a different view, their eyes flashing with a eager glint, an excitement and impulse that was truly frightening.

“Hiss…that makes sense.” Someone gasped, then calmed down. “But it might not be the decisive factor.”

"Oh?" Many eyes turned to look.

“For a time, I was obsessed with archaeology, digging out the secrets of the years before this era,” the Immortal Emperor lowered his voice, “In a peerless tomb, I found an empty coffin with a few red hairs, accompanied by manuscripts, books and other items, like a cenotaph.”

“Through this, I learned a lot… Before the era of the main gods, there was a time when a force called the ‘Ancestral Court’ ruled over all the worlds of humanity.”

"This power was once extremely glorious, boasting 100,000 Quasi-Emperors and 3,000 Path-Ending Emperors... but it was wiped out in a single day at its peak!"

"Among the manuscripts I unearthed, there are fragments of records that seem to indicate that some major event occurred during that period, which many Immortal Emperors were ashamed to mention, and even went so far as to cover it up and eliminate many who knew about it."

"The specifics are unknown... but the information left by the tomb owner mentions that many descendants of immortal emperors were active during that period..."

The Immortal Emperor, revealing this secret, had a subtle expression on his face. "It is not something sealed away over the ages, nor something reflecting the resurrected life, but rather a vibrant and energetic young person!"

"It's one or two Immortal Emperors' own children that appear... but hundreds or thousands of them are active in groups... Do you really believe that those Immortal Emperors have agreed to create humans together and spread their lineage?"

"Or did something unexpected happen, and what kind of wondrous treasure did they drink, that resulted in this group of Immortal Emperor's offspring being active together in the same era?"

"hiss!"

This time, a group of Celestial Emperors gasped in shock, feeling the reality shatter.

Their eyes shone with an unusual light—a sense of awe, surprise, and the discovery of a new world, a truly eye-opening experience.

"So even if we abandon all integrity and personally take action, it doesn't necessarily mean we can shake the resolve of those behind the scenes..."

Even the Celestial Emperor sighed.

"No wonder there are so many shameless figures in this era who dare to deceive and plot against us young people. They have no dignity whatsoever. They throw sugar-coated bullets at us when we are at our weakest, using a dimensional reduction attack... How shameless!"

"So, back then, they had already abandoned all integrity and crossed the line!"

When it comes to crossing the line, there's only the difference between zero times and countless times.

Once you take that step, there's no going back!

“I think it might not be impossible.” Another Immortal Emperor’s gaze was deep. “Since many historical details will be erased, it means they still have some taboos.”

"I've experienced it, but I'm not very willing to accept it... If we were more radical, took bigger steps, and challenged conventional wisdom more... maybe it would work?"

As he pondered this, his fellow practitioners shuddered, and one by one, they moved a little further away from him without a sound.

More radical?
Even more challenging to one's values?

Taking on the role of mother and child herself is already explosive enough... If you were to go even further, what would you want to do?

They vaguely guessed what was going on, their voices dry, "Fellow Daoist, please be careful... one cannot, or at least should not!"

“Fellow Daoist, I understand your thoughts. I know you have a heart that transcends worldly prejudices and wants to create something extraordinary… But, does it really have to come to this!”

"I trust everyone's wisdom; there are other methods and means, no need to be so unconventional..."

"..."

They persuaded him, and finally managed to suppress the Immortal Emperor's desire to completely let loose.

"Sigh, I think that's actually pretty good..."

The Immortal Emperor, who had been stopped by the combined efforts, lamented, "Those behind-the-scenes manipulators have reached out to us, each with their own agenda, fighting and vying for us, treating us as pawns and bargaining chips."

"But if this piece, this chip, is too dirty and chaotic, enough to shock them, making them want to avoid it, or even willing to painfully part with it..."

Just like a large banknote that has fallen into a cesspool, it comes and goes covered in the remnants of the cycle of life.

The value still exists, but for those who are attached to it, it's just too unpleasant!
Out of desperation, out of sight, out of mind, and choosing to let go... is not impossible.

“This is the most desperate and helpless approach…” one of the Celestial Emperors shook his head. “However, it has given me some inspiration.” “I suddenly thought of…”

He spoke meaningfully, "Besides trying every possible means to purify ourselves, eliminate the hidden dangers of mental breakdown, and fight against those behind-the-scenes manipulators with wit and courage..."

"We can also get them to choose to withdraw voluntarily and give up the means of infiltrating our true selves!"

The more he spoke, the brighter the Immortal Emperor's eyes became, as if he had seen hope, the dawn, and the direction to move forward!

"how is this possible?"

The emperors were speechless. "Those people have been planning for millennia, their schemes are far-reaching, how could they give up so easily?!"

"That's normally the case."

The Immortal Emperor who made the suggestion had a blazing gaze, and a smile appeared on his lips. "But what if they were to meet a fatal calamity because they were too tightly bound to us?"

"I have a plan!"

He held up one finger and pointed it to the sky, "Let's march up there and overthrow...the revolution!"

As he spoke, his murderous aura surged, and his fighting spirit boiled.

"That's right. Right now, it's difficult for us to deal with those behind the scenes, and we can't even be sure which ones they are."

"but!"

"I believe!"

"That supreme being who created the era, the God of Evolution, must have the ability to see through our souls and understand every single clue!"

"With him taking action, he'll surely be able to uncover the entire criminal gang, wiping them out completely!"

The Immortal Emperor clenched his fist, facing his "teammates" who were already dumbfounded.

“What…what a terrible idea…” someone said with difficulty, their lips twitching and their eyelids twitching wildly.

This is tantamount to an orphan who can't find his relatives committing a heinous crime that would implicate nine generations of his family... Is this some kind of case of using someone else to do the dirty work?

But it must be said that this is quite effective for a desperate, all-or-nothing approach.

After a brief period of rejection, pairs of eyes lit up.

"Don't say it... don't say it..."

"This kind of behavior... is truly tantamount to doing something outrageous and courting disaster!"

"Putting everything else aside, just consider those behind-the-scenes manipulators. Do they dare to confront the supreme Heavenly Emperor?"

"They don't dare!"

"They would never have had the courage to do such a thing in their entire lives... but we dare to do it!"

One after another, the Immortal Emperors spoke, their spirits gradually becoming excited.

They don't know if they can break free from their constraints.

But now, they've inadvertently discovered that they might be able to take the people who wronged them with them to their deaths!
Either those behind-the-scenes manipulators actively sever ties, cut off cause and effect, and distance themselves from each other, letting each other go their own way.

Or, they might get involved in a rebellion, storm the Heavenly Court, overthrow the main gods, and not ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but only to die on the same day, month, and year!
"Right, that is it!"

The Immortal Emperor who initially made the proposal shouted, his spirits soaring. Facing the other emperors, he vigorously clenched his fist, inspiring them as if he were about to become the vanguard in rebellion against Heaven.

"What they can do, we can do too!"

"We dare to do what those people dare not do!"

"Defy Heaven and Gods, I alone am supreme!"

"We dare to do things that disrupt the times, so what are spiritual dangers?"

"Of course, we can't wage war without a reason, so we still need to package it properly... Perhaps we can also learn from the Heavenly Emperor who appeared for the first time, and the methods he taught us to break the deadlock."

"By linking justice, sacrifice, and faith with the fight against heaven and the gods...we prove that we are not fighting for our own selfish interests, but for all living beings!"

"The supreme god is immoral, and the Heavenly Emperor has lost his virtue!"

He shouted out slogans and established guidelines, only to find the scene suddenly deathly silent, with one Immortal Emperor after another falling into complete silence.

During their occasional eye contact, he saw a mixture of complexity and sympathy, and instantly, goosebumps rose all over his body!
He guessed what it was, and in an instant, a chill ran through him, and his heart soared.

at this moment.

He even sensed that, as his cultivation level had increased, the hidden dangers caused by the memory empowerment he had received in his early years had gradually surfaced, causing his true self to become increasingly alienated and abnormal. In this instant, he was more clear-headed and sharp than ever before, as if all his disloyal thoughts had chosen to remain silent, or even to lie dormant in panic!

With all ulterior motives gone and the self becoming the sole focus, this feeling is incredibly wonderful, like unloading countless burdens, like a burdened ox or horse finally getting rid of the vampire sucking away the peace and quiet behind it.

but……

The immortal emperor stiffly turned his head and then turned away.

As expected, he saw a figure he recognized yet again!
God!

God!

It's the Heavenly Emperor, for crying out loud!
Of course, this Heavenly Emperor is subtly different from the previous three. He neither has a celestial cauldron on his head, nor does he arrive by stepping on a cauldron, nor does he perform any magical feats of casting cauldrons. Instead, he is plain and natural, returning to his true self, playing with a small bronze cauldron in his hand, peaceful and serene.

However, when the Heavenly Emperor's ambiguous gaze swept over, the Immortal Emperor, who had been calling for "rebellion against the gods," was about to explode, his flesh and soul almost shattered into nothingness, and he was killed with a single glance!

The Immortal Emperor gave a bitter laugh.

How unlucky can a person be?
Now he knows!

At the same time, an indescribable, complex emotion swept over me.

Not only him, but all the Celestial Emperors present shared the same complex and indescribable feelings.

—How many of you Heavenly Emperors are there?
Bring them all out!
They were exhausted, feeling as if they had been placed on a chessboard ever since they became Immortal Emperors, unable to move forward against their will.
