The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1102 The Heavenly Emperor's Intentions Were Good...

They are the Emperors of Immortals!

When they take it seriously, using their own physical bodies, Dao fruits, and primordial spirits as materials to evolve the world... there is no doubt that they can create the most magnificent and sacred world of all heavens!
In this vast universe, creation is scattered, and all living beings are transformed. One's primordial spirit disintegrates, and one's true spirit is suspended high, purified through reincarnation... After countless ages, one awakens in a single day, as if in a dreamlike and bizarre state of otherworldly freedom, a great dream that lasts for eternity!
Transforming heaven and earth, transforming all living beings, transforming time and space, transforming reincarnation... a path has intersected!
The Heavenly Emperor who proposed "dismembering himself" was extraordinary. He seemed to have thoroughly studied and comprehended the methods of more than one being above the sacrificial path. Although he lacked the mystery of the ultimate leap, he had grasped the true meaning of the basics.

Huang, Jiang... It's hard to say what kind of interaction he has with these people, such as whether he's trying to curry favor with them or not!

It's not good for Qing... I can't say too much about the Heavenly Emperor!
In any case, he did point out a shortcut, though it was abstract and bizarre, a path to self-destruction, a way to survive by putting oneself in a desperate situation.

However, there was hope for success, and after careful consideration, the emperors felt that there was great potential.

"It's really suitable for us Immortal Emperors..."

The powerful figures exchanged ideas, saying, "If it were below the level of an Immortal Emperor, it wouldn't work. Our level is just right."

"Below the Immortal Emperor, one is subject to the cycle of reincarnation. If one is not careful, one will truly die, and one's true spirit will not know where it will be reincarnated, leaving only the great world that was dismembered and transformed, to serve as a wedding dress for others."

"While the Immortal Emperor level cannot be said to have transcended the mortal world, it has transcended reincarnation and life and death, and its true spirit is autonomous."

"It is feasible for us to confine ourselves to a single great world and participate in the cyclical trials of time and space throughout eternity, as we so wish."

"It is not only our physical energy, but also the energy that lives in the bodies of all living beings, omnipresent, and participates in the cycle of the universe."

"Even our spirits can live in the hearts of all beings as creators and makers, never to be forgotten!"

"What's most wonderful is that, for all beings within this realm, this merit of opening up and creating life is real and true, an unparalleled merit that is absolutely worthy of being remembered and appreciated!"

"Leaving aside our original intentions."

"In fact, isn't doing this a kind of 'sacrifice'? It's enough to resonate with a certain mainstream theme in the world!"

——Pollen Road!

Despite having the idea of ​​curing his schizophrenia, he died a glorious death, abandoning everything to create a vast universe!
If we were to use a bit of subtle writing, omitting the original intention and focusing only on the actual actions, and embellishing the story... that would be even more remarkable and worthy of endless admiration!
"If we can resonate with that main theme, does that mean..." a Celestial Emperor suddenly spoke up, "that we can all embark on the method of breaking the deadlock described by the Heavenly Emperor who first descended?"

His excitement caused the other emperors to become focused and serious as well. "Perhaps... it might not be impossible!"

The first Heavenly Emperor to appear, with a celestial cauldron on his head and unparalleled divine power, left a deep impression on them.

Among the several Heavenly Emperors who appeared one after another, this Heavenly Emperor was the most "righteous" and worthy of the name of Heavenly Emperor.

He instructed the powerful figures to maximize the power of the Immortal Emperor's reflection, to reflect the most tragic world that had been buried, and then to put their true selves into it, carrying all the hidden dangers and ulterior motives, to embark on the path of sacrifice!
Finally, amidst the endless flames, the most dazzling pollen particles drifted out, offering a sliver of hope for a ritual sacrifice!
The being that emerges must possess the noblest spirit of sacrifice; it is a hero!
As for what my true self was like... that's not important anymore.

This left the major powers hesitant and conflicted, unable to make a decision.

But now...

“Reflection is still possible, but it doesn’t need to be complete. Instead, it should be conditional and limited, serving as a general trend or outline.”

"In reality, we dissect ourselves, separate matter and spirit, and become carriers."

"Sacrificed? Sacrificed!"

"However, it's not the kind of sacrifice that completely transforms one's own spirit... that's just taking a shortcut!"

The more they spoke, the brighter the eyes of each Immortal Emperor became.

they do not know.

Once upon a time, there existed a being who acted just like the new world they were now unknowingly stepping into!
Did they sacrifice themselves?

Like a sacrifice!

The Five Virtues Avenue, a legend that has shaken the ages, sold out the Pollen Emperor and even made her help count the money!

Its sacrifices were detailed, its standards clear, its quantification precise, and its various equivalent substitutions left even the Daoist Ancestors of the Flower Powder Road dumbfounded.

The Five Virtues—merit, holiness, morality, blessings, and hidden virtues—can all be transformed into "contributions" in various directions. By extracting the essence of Pollen Road and stepping on Pollen Emperor, one can achieve the ultimate sublimation and transcend the sacrificial path!
Lack of virtue!
Now, a group of immortal emperors, unaware of what was happening, took a small step and unintentionally entered the gate.

Their thinking is flexible and their ideas are broad.

After all, he was an immortal emperor who attained enlightenment in this chaotic era of demons and monsters. It is true that his mental state was worrying and his way of thinking was absurd and abstract.

The Immortal Emperors here are all seasoned veterans, each having simultaneously embarked on multiple paths of evolution, mastering various cultivation techniques, piecing together whatever seemed like a shortcut...

Through stumbling and struggling, using every possible means, being good at summarizing and drawing conclusions, and being able to make connections between different cases, one can achieve the most successes and reap the greatest benefits with the least cost... thus becoming one of the first Immortal Emperors of this era of the main gods!
Although they lack the talent to create their own evolutionary path and cannot be called geniuses in this area, they are prodigies and geniuses in other areas, and have found shortcuts one after another!

If you weren't a prodigy or genius, you wouldn't have reached this point, or you would have gone completely insane due to the overwhelming memory infusion!

"In the creation of heaven and earth and the evolution of the world, we're just building a platform. Isn't that a huge sacrifice?"

They whispered, exchanging opinions, "Everything that happens in this world owes us a debt of gratitude; we have a part in it all!"

"In this way, we will guide the development of the world, setting the course of evolution in the dark, an unchangeable trend... Billions of years later, we will embark on a destined path, heading towards great destruction, in which the most brilliant light of sacrifice will burst forth, burning the most intense fire of the sky and the flames of the ancient cosmos..."

"And because everything in that world is formed from us, originates from us... whatever results we can achieve at that time, they will all belong to us in the Perfection!"

How wonderful!

At this moment, one Immortal Emperor after another had bright, sparkling eyes.

Is that even possible?

It's unbelievable!

This "sacrifice" is actually a wonderful thing!
"There is just one problem..."

After a brief moment of contemplation, the Celestial Emperor suddenly sighed, "This approach makes it easy for the fruits of our labor to be plucked..."

"After all, when we dismember ourselves and abandon everything to evolve the world, we are defenseless."

"As an individual, one can conceal the Dao fruit within oneself, encapsulating the core secrets."

"But when it transforms into heaven and earth, and brings together all living beings, all the mysteries are revealed and played out in the world."

"If a sinister force were to emerge at this moment and plunder all of this, we would be in a very passive position, completely exposed, and all our intellectual achievements would be deciphered... If we were to face them one day, we would have no chance of survival!"

"Unless there is an unparalleled artifact to protect and shield you, this is a very dangerous thing."

"Is it feasible to place one's life and death in the hands of others in order to treat underlying psychological issues?"

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperors gradually stopped smiling, their brows furrowing.

"This is indeed a big problem."

After a moment of silence, someone spoke, "The mortal realm is like a dark forest. Unless one is an unparalleled powerhouse, everyone is hiding in various ways..."

"No, even those who stand at the pinnacle will only become more secretive and disguised!"

"Even Emperor Ye has sent out five, let alone the others?!"

"Mutual attacks, framing, shifting blame...sigh!"

For a time, all the powerful sighed, lamenting that in this world, morality had deteriorated, the world was going downhill, and where was the trust between people?
You've clearly found a reliable shortcut, but due to the pressures of reality, you have to carefully consider it again and again, and may even be forced to give it up... What kind of pain is that?!
Is there a way to have it all in this world?

One of the Celestial Emperors said quietly, "It's either too righteous or too wicked."

"It's either too difficult or too crazy."

"It's barely feasible, but it will leave other hidden dangers."

"Ugh!"

A long sigh is an expression of endless sorrow.

Sighs rose and fell.

If you don't see hope within reach, yet watch helplessly as you are powerless to change it, you won't have so many worries.

"Why do you sigh, young friend?"

At that moment, someone asked with a smile, touching a chord deep within.

"I lament that there are too many demons and monsters in the world, endless evil spirits and monsters, and everywhere I look, there are malignant tumors!"

The Immortal Emperor gritted his teeth in response, then his body stiffened.

Because that smiling, questioning voice sounded so familiar!
I've heard it five times already!
This is the sixth time!

The Immortal Emperor remained silent.

Not just him, everyone fell silent!

After a brief silence, they forced smiles and looked toward the source.

as predicted.

Yet another Heavenly Emperor has arrived!
And it's still Ye Tiandi's "skin"!
Silently, a Heavenly Emperor arrived, unlike any Heavenly Emperor before him—he was incredibly cunning!
No one could detect or perceive it until he spoke!
"It is the Heavenly Emperor himself who has arrived here! We have failed to greet him properly!"

Zhu Qiang forced himself to speak, composed himself, and greeted them with a smile.

Although I don't know if this is real or fake, let's just assume it is, considering the size of our fists!

"No need for flattery, much less a warm welcome."

The Heavenly Emperor laughed and said, "We are both on the path of cultivation, so it is enough for us to call each other 'fellow Daoist'."

"Moreover, it was only with your birth that I, the Heavenly Emperor, could be considered to have truly achieved perfect merit."

The Heavenly Emperor is very casual and carefree.

He said that the Heavenly Emperor is not one who intimidates all living beings with his strength, but one who has made great contributions to the world in order to be honored as the Heavenly Emperor.

Those who rise to power through force may proclaim themselves to be the Heavenly Emperor, but the masses will forget about them completely the moment they turn their backs.

Only by accomplishing some earth-shattering feat can one resonate permanently in the hearts of all beings and become an immortal legend.

He, Ye Tiandi, ushered in the era of the main gods. It wasn't until a group of immortal emperors were born that this era benefited from him, and he truly became the Heavenly Emperor, with immeasurable merit!

"Unfortunately, I was so immersed in the Supreme God that I neglected the outside world until I was startled by the commotion of your enlightenment, which brought me back to the world."

The Heavenly Emperor sighed as he finished speaking, “Only now do I realize that the world on earth, though seemingly peaceful, is actually turbulent beneath the surface… Some outlaws and remnants of the old regime are running rampant, leaving behind hidden dangers everywhere, poisoning all living beings!”

"This is my fault!"

"It's my fault for being incompetent and negligent..."

The Heavenly Emperor was so remorseful that he was about to issue an "edict of self-reproach," which made all the other emperors pale with shame.

—If you were really the Heavenly Emperor, we would listen with trepidation, then put on a show with tears streaming down our faces, shouting, "Your intentions were good, it's all the fault of those demons and monsters"...that would be about it.

—If you were a fake Heavenly Emperor, wearing Emperor Ye's clothes, and just spouting nonsense here... and then you just walked away, wouldn't we be furious?
"Heavenly Emperor! You are not wrong! Where are you wrong? It's all those remnants of the old regime! They are too despicable and shameless, their methods are vile, they deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces!"

"Yes, that's it! Don't blame yourself. Your intentions were good. It was we who couldn't resist the temptation, which led to this predicament!"

For a time, this place became a repentance meeting, filled with all sorts of self-criticisms, abstract and absurd.

"Alas, what's done is done, and all we can do is try to salvage the situation."

The Heavenly Emperor sighed deeply, and the other emperors, taking the opportunity, stopped their acting and listened attentively.

Although they felt that this master was most likely a fake Heavenly Emperor, they got used to it after seeing several fake Heavenly Emperors in a row.

Moreover, although the Heavenly Emperor is fake, the realm and strength of these "Heavenly Emperors" are real. Even if they have ulterior motives and evil intentions, the suggestions they put forward from their high-level perspective and the shortcuts they point out have a great impact on them!
The Heavenly Emperor calmly spoke, "Do you think... you are dead or alive now?"

The powerful figures looked at each other in bewilderment.

What kind of problem is this?
If they're not alive, then how could they be dead?
However, just as they were about to blurt it out, they suddenly paused, controlled and pulled back the words that were about to come out, and calmed down to think about them.

"Life is also death, and death is also life..."

After a moment, someone whispered, their eyes deep and serious, and spoke.

He looked out at the vast ocean of time and the long river of years, grasping a powerful force in the darkness, which was astonishing and terrifying, no less powerful than the existence of reincarnation!

Every moment, heaven and earth, and all living beings, are dying and being buried in the past.

But then, it is reborn, born from the womb called "the past", and thus has "the present"!
And the "present" will eventually become the matrix of the "future"!

Life and death alternate constantly, permeating every moment of time!

They live, and die and are buried in every moment!

This is a subtlety that only an Immortal Emperor can clearly perceive and understand, and it is the same principle as jumping out of the cycle of reincarnation.

Only by becoming a Celestial Emperor can one comprehend the greatness within!
