The reincarnation of the heavens begins with the path to immortality

Was the Desolate Emperor killed in battle?

Has the Desolate Emperor conquered the Immortal Realm and become an immortal?

At this moment, the final fate of the Desolate Emperor is like a fog, leaving people puzzled!

Deep down, everyone present wanted to believe that the Desolate Emperor had ultimately conquered the Immortal Realm and become an immortal. This seemed more acceptable to them. Otherwise, for thousands of years, no one in this world had been able to become an immortal. How ridiculous and ironic that would be! It would be a huge blow to them!

After all, if even a legendary figure like the Desolate Emperor couldn't become an immortal, then can they really become immortals after all their efforts, risking their lives to constantly explore the path to immortality, creating various so-called methods of becoming immortal, and undergoing nirvana time and time again?
In the end, it will all just be a dream, and it will be impossible to become an immortal in this world.

For a moment, everyone present frowned and fell silent. Ye Fan's expression shifted slightly, but he suddenly turned his gaze to Shen Pingkang, the Longevity Celestial Venerable, who had a very calm expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Celestial Venerable, do you think the Desolate Emperor died in battle, or did he enter the Immortal Realm and become an immortal?"

The reason he asked Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, was because he found that Shen Pingkang remained very calm throughout, as if he already knew the answer.

Moreover, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, is a surviving figure from the mythological era, and he probably knows the most secrets of the universe!

For example, Shen Pingkang, the Longevity Venerable, has personally witnessed the existence of the Emperor, Duan De, the Underworld Emperor, and the Undying Heavenly Emperor. He seems to know all their secrets.

So perhaps he also has some knowledge of the legendary Desolate Emperor?

The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin has existed since ancient times. Legend has it that it may contain the remains of immortals from the Chaotic Ancient Era. Ye Fan did not believe that someone as devoted to immortality as Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Venerable, would not have any covetous thoughts about it.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, became wary, and his expression became serious. It seemed that it wasn't just the Corpse King who was eyeing the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, the Primordial God Emperor, and even Laozi, Shakyamuni, and others—all those in the Hall of Longevity who wanted to become immortals—were probably eyeing the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, wanting to enter the giant coffin and find out what was going on!
After all, legend has it that the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin might contain the remains of immortals from the Chaotic Ancient Era. Who wouldn't want to see what these fallen immortals looked like?!
Upon hearing his question, everyone, whether from the Hall of Longevity or the Heavenly Court, turned to Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, eager to hear his answer.

After all, in this world, besides the clueless Duan De and the Empress who is studying in seclusion, only Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, is perhaps the most knowledgeable about how to become an immortal, because in this life, he has proposed a theoretically feasible method for becoming an immortal.

Seeing that everyone present was looking at him, Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I remember that Fellow Daoist Corpse Emperor once said that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had already died in battle. It was already common knowledge that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had died and perished at the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era!"

The Corpse Emperor nodded emphatically, "It's true! The death of the Desolate Emperor was indeed a consensus at the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era!"

At this moment, Ye Fan chuckled and said, "But back then, on the path to immortality on the Ancient Immortal Star, those immortal tablets and the marks left by the Desolate Tower all proved that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor did not die, and even entered the Immortal Realm to become an immortal. Could those marks be fake?"

Yes! The path to immortality on the ancient star of Feixian, the immortal tablets there, and the words left by the Desolate Emperor on them—doesn't all of this prove that he didn't die and even entered the Immortal Realm? They witnessed all of this with their own eyes. How could it be fake?
Upon hearing this, the Corpse Emperor frowned, looking puzzled. "This is also what I've been wondering about all these years. I'm certain that the Desolate Emperor died in battle at the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era, but the Desolate Emperor who fought his way into the Immortal Realm on the path to immortality on the Flying Immortal Ancient Star makes me doubt whether he really died in battle back then." "Did he die in battle, or did he eventually enter the Immortal Realm and become an immortal?"

As he spoke, he looked at the nine dragons pulling the coffin, his eyes gleaming, and said, "Perhaps entering the giant coffin and opening it will reveal the answer!"

Finally, he took a deep breath and said to Ye Fan in a very sincere tone, "Actually, I wish the Desolate Emperor were still alive more than you do. He eventually fought his way into the Immortal Realm and became an immortal, because that means that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were not defeated back then, and the battle is still going on!"

"You don't know what kind of existence the Desolate Emperor was to us in the Chaotic Ancient Era. He was like the Emperor of the Mythical Era, like the Undying Emperor of the Primordial Era. He was an existence that everyone in the Chaotic Ancient Era worshipped!"

"His death shattered the morale of everyone in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths! The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were also shattered! They were broken beyond repair! They could no longer muster a stronger force to stop the enemy from the alien realm!"

"This is just like when the ancient Heavenly Court collapsed after the death of its emperor in the mythological era!"

"Therefore, I want to know one answer! Is the Desolate Emperor alive or dead!"

Hearing his words, everyone present was moved, especially the Corpse Emperor who compared the Desolate Heavenly Emperor to the Emperor Venerable and the Undying Heavenly Emperor!
The Emperor was the founder of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Back then, no one dared to disobey his orders, but as soon as he died, the Ancient Heavenly Court collapsed!

The Immortal Emperor, the founder of the Immortal Dynasty, was a deity worshipped by the ancient emperors in the Primordial Era. However, with his death, the Immortal Dynasty also dissipated!
The Desolate Emperor might be the same. He was a legend of the Chaotic Ancient Era and the main force in resisting the enemies from other realms. When he died, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths collapsed directly, and this world and universe became shattered!

Moreover, one can tell from the Corpse Emperor's tone that he may have been a follower of the Desolate Emperor back then. The end of the Chaotic Ancient Era was too difficult and chaotic. No one could resist the alien enemies like the Desolate Emperor back then. Everyone was in danger of dying, even the Supreme Beings, who were like lambs to the slaughter, ready to die at any moment!

Having experienced that difficult and chaotic period, it's understandable that people would admire the legendary Desolate Emperor, who single-handedly resisted the enemy from another realm, even more!
However, Ye Fan glanced at the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and frowned without saying a word. He shook his head. After all, no matter how he understood it, he could not allow the Corpse King to enter the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. It was not something he could decide to allow outsiders to enter!
Just then, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, suddenly laughed and said, "Perhaps the Desolate Emperor did indeed die in battle back then, but he was later resurrected and then entered the Immortal Realm to become an immortal!"

He paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Isn't coming back to life a very common thing for us?"

After speaking, he looked at the Corpse Emperor and Laozi, then at Duan De, then at Shennong and the Yellow Emperor, his words carrying a hidden meaning!
