The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1125 Regret, Sneaking Away!
The lotus mark is blurry and ethereal, like a child's scribbles, outlined with the simplest textures.

However, when faced with this seal, even a Celestial Emperor felt a strange sense of disorientation, as if he had seen a supreme celestial lotus that spanned ancient history and the ages, with each leaf representing an era and writing the ultimate mystery of reincarnation!

And this celestial lotus, vaguely supporting the placenta, seems to be nurturing an unparalleled saint, a transcendent god or demon!

"Ok?"

The emperors, startled, broke free from the illusion, their voices tinged with apprehension, "Why did the lotus seal appear?"

They asked the refined-looking but sickly man.

"Who knows?" the man said calmly, shaking his head. "I simply followed the original plan, copying and imprinting the cycle of reincarnation in the human world. That's all."

"Perhaps this outcome is... fate!"

If you ask me three questions and I know nothing, then asking again is just fate!
To prove his innocence, the refined man also branded his past, showcasing his history. All his actions are traceable and can withstand the test of history!
The emperors' eyes were sharp, and they indeed saw no problem. In the end, they could only attribute it to the infinite mysteries of reincarnation, where some unexpected oversights were inevitable.

"Reincarnation! The path once opened up by an unparalleled powerhouse... it's not impossible that there are deeper secrets involved."

They sighed, feeling that it was both unexpected and perhaps reasonable.

Only a handful of people had a strange look on their faces for a moment, their expressions were very subtle and interesting, as if they wanted to say something but stopped, as if they had something to say but when they looked at the refined man, they decided to swallow their words back, almost causing internal injuries.

"Not bad!"

A Celestial Emperor with a tuft of red hair on his head spoke solemnly, delivering a final verdict with irrefutable evidence: "Fellow Daoist Wang has done his best, but there were unexpected changes, so we can't blame him."

"Whether it's reincarnation or bloodline, as long as it can help us get through this great calamity, why care about anything else?"

He spoke up, saying, "It's rare to be confused, it's rare to be confused!"
"That makes sense..." The emperors were relieved and gave up on tracing back and investigating.

Although they felt there was more to it than met the eye, the lotus mark was not something that could be simply glossed over.

but……

What if something is actually found out?
Reincarnation!
This is the ultimate mystery since ancient times!
Moreover, this group of people is not like the novice Immortal Emperors who have attained enlightenment in this era. They are seasoned veterans who have faced the destruction of the ancestral court era, have traversed the great calamity of restarting various worlds, have personally experienced the difference between the present world and "prehistory", and understand the earth-shattering changes that have occurred in the long river of time, comparable to reincarnation!
In comparison, this is enough to deduce the great terror within the cycle of reincarnation... If you insist on getting to the bottom of it, you might end up with your own head broken in an instant!

Suppressing his curiosity and acting as if nothing had happened, the Celestial Emperor gazed at the placenta, slightly lost in thought, "The sacred is already being conceived and can come into this world at any time."

"Our blood flows within him, and our Immortal Emperor Laws are passed down within him, making him the most perfect embryo."

"You mean we directly bring him into the world, and then directly infuse him with the fragments of memories that encompass our entire lives, making them correspond to our bloodline and laws, so that with a pure white true self, we can condense the Dao fruit of all of us?"

"Should we let him go into the mortal world, experience the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and the pleasures of life, so that he can first become a 'human being,' and then ascend to godhood as a 'human being' and take over our legacy?"

These words aroused different opinions among the three thousand immortal emperors. Some felt that a blank sheet of paper was the best for painting, as it was not easy to lose control and could be completely colored by their colors.

Some emperors even shook their heads, expressing their opposition and disapproval.

"This era has its own general trend. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish... Those immortal emperors who attained enlightenment in this era all had the same experience. In order to pursue their dreams and fulfill their desires, they gradually abandoned the purity of their true selves. Until they finally became emperors and were able to control everything, they suddenly looked back and found that they had lost their 'self'."

This was a burly man with bronze skin, disheveled hair, and a bow and arrows on his back. He possessed a sharp edge that seemed to have slaughtered all enemies and traversed endless seas of blood.

At this moment, he spoke eloquently, "This process reveals the complexity of human nature, a special endowment unique to sentient beings, an irreplaceable characteristic that distinguishes us from the indifferent world—"

"regret!"

"If God could give them a second chance, and tell them about the future from the beginning, giving them two paths to choose from: one is to succumb to reality while maintaining their pure self, and the other is to realize their initial dream but no longer be themselves..."

"No matter what you choose, you'll regret it in the end!"

"Under the blows of reality and in the helplessness of adversity, the thought of regret will inevitably arise—how wonderful it would be if I had the power to sweep everything away."

"But if you take a different path, and after many years you finally achieve your initial dream, looking back, you'll find that you've lost that initial feeling..."

"This regret is what makes this era most worthy of reflection and contemplation!"

You absolutely must try it!

The Great Han's commentary brought the emperors an indescribable sense of inspiration, a perspective that offered them a glimpse into a higher level of understanding.

While they seemed to still be caught up in the pros and cons of the memory initiation, this fellow practitioner transcended them, pointing his sword to the distinction between heaven and earth and all living beings, the subtle difference between sentient and insentient beings, and grasping the main theme of this era!

They see mountains as mountains, but the big man sees them as not mountains!
"Not bad!"

Beside the burly man stood a gaunt old man, who smiled and echoed, "Every brilliant era has its own main theme, which is the manifestation of the will of the supreme power. It's best not to easily go against it."

"Only by following your will can you have smooth sailing... Otherwise, you'll only struggle to move forward, and one day you might even fall into a pit and never get up again!"

"Until you have the ability to challenge the entire era, it's best to keep a low profile and go with the flow!"

Upon hearing this, the emperors felt refreshed. They looked at the burly man and the old man... well, they were good teammates, but they performed exceptionally well today!
"Oh? So, according to you two, the past eras also had their own rhythms?"

They asked curiously.

"Of course!"

The old man said leisurely, "Although some eras are too far apart and we have never experienced them personally... we can still get a glimpse of the whole picture from a small part."

"Just like the birth of reincarnation, it is mostly inseparable from attachment and regret, lingering within these..."

"Like the transformation of time and years, life and death are intertwined, a balance of persistence and freedom..."

"But now, I'm torn between dreams and regrets..."

"Although the memory empowerment was not initiated or caused by the Heavenly Emperor who created the main god... but what level is it?"

"There must be some kind of premonition in the universe; it's not a coincidence or an accident!"

"In the era of the supreme god, many things were able to happen because of his tacit approval to some extent!"

The old man laughed, "Otherwise, a single sanction to shut down the main god would be enough to severely damage the wave of memory infusion!" His comments on the Heavenly Emperor caused the expressions of the powerful figures to change slightly, and they became wary and fearful, afraid that a punch from the Heavenly Emperor would come from afar.

"Fellow Taoist, be careful!"

After a long while, nothing happened, and the emperors breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded the old man.

"I know! I know!"

The old man nodded repeatedly, as if he had heard it, but it was unclear whether he had taken it to heart.

"The Heavenly Emperor is magnanimous; how could he possibly hold a grudge against people like us?"

At this moment, someone chuckled, "The difficulty of the main god once skyrocketed, and the heaven-defying mechanism swept away all the trial participants, causing all living beings to complain and grumble incessantly, but the Heavenly Emperor never seemed to get angry."

This is an celestial emperor with an extraordinary demeanor, possessing the aura of an unparalleled emperor. It is as if he once ruled over countless vast mountains and rivers, with all under heaven being his land and all within the borders being his subjects, and countless living beings being his cattle, horses, and tools!
This phenomenon was fleeting, as if it were an illusion. The person in question was merely a Celestial Emperor who had only managed to ascend to the rank of Celestial Emperor by overdrawing pollen particles. How could he possibly possess the demeanor of the Ancestor of Streetlights?

However, despite his ordinary demeanor, he spoke with great confidence and eloquence, which reassured the powerful figures. How could the Heavenly Emperor be someone who would bother with weak, helpless, and pitiful immortal emperors like them?
"Moreover, while the Heavenly Emperor possesses extraordinary strength, he is bound by the complexities of power struggles at his level and has no interest in us!"

Then another Celestial Emperor spoke, calmly and casually.

This is also an emperor with a unique style, like a god and a demon, with both. He is like a god with supreme compassion who controls sacrifice, and also like a great demon who can play with sacrifice at will.

"I don't think so... Who says that a strong person must be courteous, must care about their status, and must not bully the weak?"

At this moment, the refined-looking man spoke, smiling softly.

Instantly, the burly man, the old man, the emperor, and the demon all twitched at the corners of their mouths and naturally fell silent.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness, speechlessness, and a lack of words.

—How did I end up meeting this person?

They were quite guilty.

After all, he knew all too well what they had done in the past.

They either kill and bury the innocent, or they go to great lengths to persecute a single flower... It's unbelievable!

Of course, they couldn't help but think to themselves... This kind of strongman shouldn't stay on the plateau properly; he just wanders out like that. Doesn't he know he'll scare people to death?
'well!'

'Thinking about it, it's all Emperor Ye's fault...'

Suddenly, a problem arose. The small jar filled us with a chilling aura, as if it could become our final resting place at any moment, forcing us into eternal oblivion, never to rise again…

Extremely uneasy, I had no choice but to flee and face the ever-changing world...

The development of this era has been far more intense than we originally imagined, fraught with danger at every turn, and shrouded in shadow!

'The arrangements that are merely applied to the beings of this era are not enough; they need to be further improved and perfected…'

They thought of many things, their minds racing with ideas.

If some beings at the same level as them only vaguely sensed the dramatic changes in the world, the transformation of things, and the suspicion that a powerful, all-powerful force was controlling everything, then...

They can be said to be the eyewitnesses and parties involved, and are able to determine the root of the problem, which lies in Ara and Ye!
On that day, Huang left and Ye went into hiding... The two supreme experts made moves at the same time, as if they had made some kind of decision and were about to do something great!
The little jar lost its sleeping dragon and phoenix chick overnight—how could this be allowed to happen?
The lotus seed was restless, as if worried about the sudden change in circumstances, or perhaps because it had lost the protection of the dragon and phoenix duo. Before long, it quickly ran away.

This is just great.

Inside the jar, several people who were both enemies and friends were squatting together, looking incredibly uncomfortable!
It's no exaggeration to say that we're mutually disgusted by each other!

It's already difficult enough to live under the same sky... If it's just a few of them crammed into one "room", then we might as well kill them!
It was their mutual understanding and telepathy that led them to eventually run away with their buckets to do something big.

Although they have been lying low for years, they have not been without other actions.

As former powerful figures, they were never pushovers!
Making trouble?

They know so much!

They may not have the ability to transcend everything in one breath, but they not only have the ability to create a huge mess, they have a great deal of ability to do so!

He seized the identity of a Celestial Emperor, reshaped cause and effect, and changed his appearance... but when he arrived full of excitement, he saw the real Yama!

It's too late to leave now; we can only grit our teeth and keep going.

Fortunately, the refined yet sickly man had no intention of targeting them and let it go lightly, though his voice carried a hint of complexity and regret: "Dreams, desires, frustrations, remorse..."

"As human beings, we should all have something unique about us, something that sets us apart from the world, whether it's good or bad..."

"I agree with what several colleagues have said. Although this child is a creation of all of us, carrying a special mission, he should have his own life before that, to live, to see, and finally to blossom..."

The man spoke softly, saying slowly, "Prepare an extraordinary life for him, complex, bumpy, and full of ups and downs..."

"Through arduous trials and tribulations, let's see if we can ignite a heart that can shine with eternal light..."

"At that time, we will bestow upon him our Dao fruits and laws, so that he may bear all of this..."

He spoke softly, possessing an indescribable and convincing charm that made one Immortal Emperor after another involuntarily submit and agree, giving him heartfelt recognition.

"He will transform into a colossal furnace, within which his bloodline burns, and so do our Dao fruits, burning out relics, burning out embers..."

As he whispered, a delicate little stove seemed to appear and disappear within the placenta, barely perceptible yet undeniably real.

It is as if this sacred object, which gave birth to and evolved, was born with a furnace, accompanied by an unparalleled heavy weapon with boundless divine power. It was once a vessel used to brew tea, and also an object used by supreme powerhouses to immolate themselves!

All I can say is that it was very arbitrary and extremely unrefined.

"He reigns supreme over the cycle of reincarnation... Perhaps, the end of this era will be decided by him..."
