In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 501 [Entering the Pass!]

The Heavenly Court collapsed and crumbled in an instant, throwing the gods and generals of all realms into chaos.
The unified cosmic order crumbled, and the pilgrimage routes of various races evolved into ancient star roads over the long years. What was originally a journey to the end of the Imperial Pass to pay homage to the Emperor instantly turned into a plundering of the ancient Heavenly Court's legacy.

"The Nine Heavens Imperial Pass is the training ground of my Heavenly Court, used to select the geniuses of all the heavens and myriad realms. Those who are nominated can be received by the Emperor and appointed as divine generals."

A saint from the Divine Organization said indignantly, "The star field behind the nine Imperial Passes is the celestial palace of the ancient Heavenly Court. Since it was occupied by the Undying Emperor, we were forced to leave. The descendants of the ancient Heavenly Court have been wandering for millions of years, having left their homeland!"

With the Emperor gone and the Heavenly Court without a ruler, the Undying Emperor seized the opportunity to rise to power, occupy the Imperial Pass Heavenly Palace, and establish his own glorious divine dynasty. Later Daoists followed suit and entered the Heavenly Palace.

As the saying goes, the throne of emperors takes turns, and this year it's my turn. In the eyes of all the tribes, this is perfectly reasonable.

However, for the divine organization that considers itself the legitimate successor to the Heavenly Court, this is a blatant betrayal, a group of usurpers attacking the ancient Heavenly Court.

There is no right or wrong, just different perspectives.

"In this life, the Heavenly Court returns to reclaim lost territory, starting from the ancient path of the human race."

The chief god of the divine organization said that the ancient path of the human race is of great significance because the emperor was a human being, and after reincarnation, he will also have a sacred human body.

If even the ancient roads of our own people cannot be conquered, how can we talk about ruling over all the heavens and myriad realms and recovering vast territories?

"Should we wage a full-scale war against the ancient human race?"

Ye Fan frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss. He had come to fight against the Overlord Body, and there was no need for him to make enemies of the whole world.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xian coughed and said, "The battle against the Overlord Body is just the beginning. After defeating the Overlord Body, it will inevitably attract challenges from other human geniuses."

"Behind every prodigy is a force that supports them. Defeating these prodigies means becoming enemies of the protectors of the ancient path of humanity. But if we don't defeat these prodigies, how can we forge our own path to becoming emperors!"

"Instead of worrying about these things, let's show our invincible style."

"As long as you have invincible qualities, there will be human protectors and great saints who will choose to support you."

Being born into the human race is Ye Fan's disadvantage, but it is also his greatest advantage.

The existence of human protectors is to select the seeds of great emperors belonging to the human race and escort them to achieve enlightenment.

You said that if the Emperor of the God Organization wants to conquer the ancient road of the human race, then it will inevitably trigger a full-scale resistance from the ancient road of the starry sky.

But if you were to say that a human cultivator must be invincible on the ancient road, lead the human race to glory, prove the Dao and become an emperor, establish a heavenly court, and be called the Emperor Venerable.

That would be a different story; there would definitely be a human Great Sage who would choose to support it.

"Press up!"

The chief god of the divine organization roared and drove the invincible warship toward the floating divine city in the cosmic starry sky. After countless ages, the Heavenly Emperor's carriage once again surveyed the various realms.

The celestial vessel rumbled and crashed down like Mount Tai, carrying unstoppable divine power that stimulated the first line of defense of the human race, causing its defensive formations to be fully activated. Moonlight cascaded down, starlight cascaded like waterfalls, and silvery-white star rivers hung down, protecting this ancient city.

Within the city, one after another, saintly warriors roared, their armor ancient and their iron armor cold. They were once geniuses who dominated a region, but failed the trial and remained in Enlightenment. Among them were great commanders at the Saint King level who formed an array, existing alongside the first barrier of the human race.

The first gate of the human race is responsible for receiving countless human seeds, and its position is of utmost importance. One after another, great saints of the human race have left behind their Daoist essence to protect this divine city, which contains the foundation of millions of human beings and is extremely solid.

The collision between the divine city and the celestial vessel caused the surrounding star field to tremble, one large star after another to shatter, and even the sun and moon lost their luster.

Within the city, besides the trial participants, there are also low-level cultivators and even mortals who live and multiply here, all descendants of the former warriors.

Faced with this situation, countless mortals wept, and even cultivators trembled, screaming, "A terrifying monster is attacking the first barrier of the human race!"

"Hold on!"

The guide for the first trial, who was also the city lord, flew out to oversee the formation, causing the immortal light to flow through the first trial. He shouted, "I have already sent a message to the protectors of the major cities. It won't be long before my clan's Great Sage descends!"

Upon hearing that reinforcements had arrived, the people inside the city breathed a sigh of relief and were no longer so tense.

Outside the city, the human cultivators who had come from all corners of the world and from all star regions were now ashen-faced and extremely embarrassed. They had no city to protect them, and if the Divine Organization went on a killing spree, what would they use to resist?

"Not long ago, the great saints who protect the ancient roads joined forces to fight a great battle against the divine organization. How could they possibly have the strength to attack the first pass?"

A human saint cried out in despair, "This is not normal!"

This is only the first test. Even Saint Kings rarely see such a clash, so how could a battle between Great Saints occur?

It's like the protagonist who has just left the beginner village and is suddenly confronted by a giant dragon soaring through the sky, which is incredibly disheartening.

"Fellow Daoists of the Divine Organization, what is your intention in attacking our clan's ancient path?"

The guide at the first checkpoint shouted, "Our Great Sage is about to arrive. Do you intend to break ties with the ancient path of the human race?"

For millions of years, the divine organization has roamed the universe, hunting down various human races, but it has never taken such a crazy action as attacking the main city. Therefore, the protectors and guides turn a blind eye.

After all, a seed that can be successfully hunted down by the God Organization is unlikely to become an emperor, which can be considered an indirect process of survival of the fittest.

Just like wolves on the grasslands, the first sheep they hunt are the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Those who survive are usually the fastest and healthiest members of the pack.

But now that we're attacking a city, the situation is different. It's not a knockout round, but an act of annihilation, a complete extermination of the entire race!
"Your clan's ancient road?" "This ancient road was built by our ancestors. Back then, they were ordered by the Emperor to open up roads in the universe. They put in countless efforts. How did it become the ancient road of the human race!"

Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter rang out, the Milky Way trembled, the universe distorted, and a figure appeared. He was of medium height, possessed the divine might to swallow the sun and moon, and exuded a powerful aura!
"A main god..."

In the first level, the Holy King said in an almost groaning tone: "The peerless Great Sage of the Nine Heavens is only half a step away from becoming a Quasi-Emperor."

The first barrier was barely able to withstand the Heavenly Ship, and now with the attack of a Great Sage, it was completely unstoppable. The barrier trembled and emitted a sound of all laws shattering.

With a crash, layer upon layer of celestial light shattered, and the entire first barrier of the human race nearly exploded, sending countless warriors guarding the ancient road flying out.

The Great Sage's invincibility is no exaggeration; he dominates an entire region, and unless someone is associated with the title of Emperor, no one can rival him.

"Fellow Daoist, do you intend to wage a full-scale war against my human race?!"

The guide at the first level was flushed and resisted with all his might, silently praying that the Great Sage who would protect the human race would arrive as soon as possible.

Zhou, the God of War, stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Humans, I am also a human. It's just internal strife, not a full-scale war."

In the mythological era, all races rose up, and the atmosphere was free. Naturally, there were many divine generals from other races under the emperor's command. However, after the collapse of the ancient heavenly court, these divine generals either died or fled. Even those who survived had their ambitions extinguished, lost their desire for revenge, and returned to their own races.

Few alien gods are willing to carry on the legacy of the ancient Heavenly Court; most members of the divine organization are of human origin.

Because the Emperor is a human, a human emperor, and the First Divine General Chuan Ying is also a human, they are of the same race, which makes it easier to unite people's hearts.

"Since you are human, why did you attack the ancient city of humans without cause!"

The guide at the first level was puzzled and asked, "There is no hatred without a cause, nor is there love without a cause."

The relationship between humans and the divine organization is not that good, but it's not that bad either.

"The Heavenly Court rises again! I, by the decree of the Emperor, will reclaim our former homeland!"

"Enter the customs!"

Zhou, the God of the Central Plains, stepped into the void. His thick black hair and glowing forehead gave way to a bronze cauldron that appeared above his head. The cauldron had three legs and two handles, with strands of innate divine essence hanging down from it. It was ancient and majestic, suppressing the first barrier of the human race. It creaked and groaned, seemingly about to collapse.

The massive cauldron crashed down, a truly formidable weapon, capable of shattering anything.

With a loud bang, the first gate of the city was smashed open!
"This cauldron..."

Ye Fan was slightly taken aback and discovered that most of the magical artifacts of the Divine Organization cultivators were cauldron-shaped and very similar to his Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron. They also had patterns of ancient ancestors, white tigers, Kunpeng, immortal phoenixes, and true dragons on them.

"Similar weapons, similar attack methods."

Lin Xian smiled and said, "Based on your connection with the God Organization, no one would believe you are not an Emperor."

"It's just a coincidence."

Ye Fan continued to stubbornly insist, "Emperor Ruthless also forged the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron."

"Isn't this more reasonable?"

Lin Xian clapped his hands and laughed, "The Emperor was first reincarnated as the ruthless man's elder brother, and then reincarnated in this life. The Empress missed her brother's weapon, so she forged the Dragon Cauldron."

"Go to hell with you." Ye Fan rolled his eyes, stepped out of the celestial ship, and walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, his blood and energy surging, shining like gold, as if the Heavenly Emperor had descended to earth.

The saints of the divine organization followed closely behind, standing in a line in the void, as if all the gods were guarding them.

"A demigod."

The cultivators in the first trial were extremely shocked. How could a half-saint cultivator be above all the saints? What kind of supernatural powers did he possess, and what was his identity?

"An indestructible golden body?"

The First Guide's pupils contracted. As the guardian of the first level, he was well-versed in various special physiques, ensuring that he would not miss any potential cultivation seeds among the human race.

"Why would the Holy Body of the Human Race act in this way?" the guide sighed. He was well-versed in ancient history and had heard of the Nine Generations of Great Accomplished Holy Bodies. He greatly admired the Holy Body lineage.

From a special physique to a sacred body unique to the human race, it is a glorious achievement forged through countless blood and tears.

"Of course I want to become emperor!"

Lin Xian slowly walked out, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "The world's affairs, after a long period of division, will unite; after a long period of unity, will divide. At the end of the mythical era, various races fought for power and were eventually incorporated into the Heavenly Court. After the collapse of the ancient Heavenly Court, ancient emperors rose up and human emperors emerged, each leading the way for tens of thousands of years."

"In this life, the Heavenly Court rises again, the Holy Body becomes Emperor, and will reign supreme over the universe, rule over all realms, and continue the story of the Emperor."

"Let all the geniuses and heroes of the ancient paths come out to face their deaths! Our Emperor Ye will defeat the entire universe with his own strength!"
