In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 565 [Deceiving Others, Deceiving Oneself, and Deceiving Heaven]

"Only achievements of sufficient magnitude can command the worship of all races and bring about a massive amount of faith."

Lin Xian smiled knowingly and fabricated the official history of the Heavenly Court, saying leisurely, "The Demon Emperor is unparalleled in the world. Even his mount is a powerful being with perfected essence, qi, and holy spirit. The Demon Emperor Ruler in his hand was used to break through the path to immortality on his own. As the Demon Queen, how could she be a mere mortal?"

"As far as I know, the Demon Emperor and Empress were of noble birth, being the supreme beings of the Taiyin Jade Rabbit clan. They once followed the Demon Emperor in conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, quelling the dark turmoil, and even killed a supreme being."

The Demon Emperor's eyes revealed a strange look. Other historical records were fine to discuss, but the history of the Xueyue Qing era could be presented as false evidence by himself. Who would dare to refute it?

The only great achievement is the slaying of the supreme ruler, which is worshipped by all spirits and recorded in the history books of all races. How can it be easily altered? If one is not careful, one will turn from a fan to a hater and incur eternal infamy.

"Nature cannot be deceived." Xue Yueqing said. Playing with the power of faith is like playing with fire; one wrong move and you could easily get burned.

People worship idols, like to create gods, and like to destroy gods. There are countless examples of people becoming Buddhas or demons in a single thought.

The former Demon Emperor was fearless of the backlash from faith, but the Demon Queen was not; she was merely a wisp of a soul, living only in Xue Yueqing's heart.

"All living beings cannot be deceived, but cause and effect can be reversed." Lin Xian clasped his hands together, deeply understanding the supreme method of taking things out of context, and smiled slightly, saying, "Whoever controls the past controls the future, and whoever controls the present controls the past."

"The Dark Sovereign was killed by the combined efforts of the Demon Emperor and the Demon Queen. Eternity has passed, and all those who were once here have vanished. Who still remembers him?"

“When past events of reincarnation manifest, and a flower-like image blooms, the collective memory of all beings will be revived.”

"To fabricate heresies and mislead the masses is utterly rebellious." The Demon Emperor, obsessed with Lin Xian, gave him a deep look and commented, "Trying to create ancient history is incredibly arrogant. Even if it can deceive the masses, it cannot fool this vast universe."

It is a blatant provocation against the very essence of time in the nine heavens and ten earths; it is going against the natural order.

"One person with two hearts, one heart with two people, that's all." Lin Xian said calmly, "All living beings yearn for the Demon Emperor, and the Demon Emperor yearns for the Demon Queen. Their thoughts are inseparable, and this is reflected in their relationship."

In an instant, the Demon Emperor's obsessive eyes sharpened, as if gazing across the heavens for eternity, and he said in a deep voice, "Can you still be considered one of the people of the past?"

Unforgettable, reflected in all the heavens, is the person now appearing in the projection a real being, or a projection beneath a curtain?

"Unless one becomes the emperor among immortals, all cycles of reincarnation are flawed."

Lin Xian pointed to the universe and said, "We cannot influence heaven and earth, we can only change ourselves. At least what is reflected is the person in Xue Yueqing's heart, the person in the hearts of all living beings."

What is true reincarnation? It is turning back the entire era, reversing all the emotions of the past, and truly reversing the flow of time.

To rewind the entire universe by millions of years and create a parallel universe—not even a true immortal, let alone a peerless immortal king, possessed such power.

It reflects a similar person, who has already reached the pinnacle of humanity and the limit of the Heavenly Court's conferment of gods.

After a long silence, the Demon Emperor finally spoke, "Including the Underworld Emperor?"

The ruler of the underworld, the King of the Underworld who has traveled the furthest on the cycle of reincarnation, the starting point of the mythological era.

Duan De's status is extraordinary and his influence is far-reaching; he can even shake the Dao heart of a peerless demon emperor.

"He once searched for a woman from the Taiyin Jade Rabbit Clan who resembled the Demon Emperor."

"I swear by the King of the Underworld, there is no falsehood in this."

Lin Xian spoke calmly, crushed a jade talisman in his hand, and set it ablaze in the endless starry sky, signaling Duan De to come here and saying that the Demon Emperor wanted to bestow upon him a great fortune.

The Demon Emperor remained silent, his mind preoccupied. His Daoist partner was similar to him, both born into the Snow Rabbit clan. They were not born saints; on the contrary, their aptitude was shallow.

Xue Yueqing unexpectedly obtained a demon god flower and rose to power against all odds, but his wife was not so lucky. She couldn't even last five hundred years before she vanished.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable..."

With the Devouring Demon Jar on his head, Duan De hesitated for a long time, but in the end, greed overcame everything. He flew over cautiously and muttered, "Forgive me, Demon Emperor, these things have nothing to do with me. They were all the idea of ​​Holy Master Lin."

Xue Yueqing turned her head gracefully, her aura ethereal, as if she were a fairy flying away. The fragment of the ruler that Duan De had captured sensed it and immediately transformed into a beam of celestial light, flying over with unparalleled speed.

"He lost both his wife and his army!"

Duan De screamed in agony, feeling a darkness before his eyes. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn you, Lord Lin! I shouldn't have trusted you!"

Is this the true nature of the Underworld Emperor?

The Demon Emperor was speechless. If he hadn't seen the four reincarnation seals glowing within Duan De's body, he would have thought he had mistaken Duan De for someone else.

"What are the King of the Underworld's views on reincarnation?" Xue Yueqing asked. "If he has any insights, I am willing to repay him with the Immortal Ruler."

Duan De suddenly shuddered, looking at the Demon Emperor Ruler he had lost and found again, his face immediately filled with smiles, and he said with a forced smile, "No problem, no problem. As for this cycle of reincarnation, uh, you need a physical body first."

"Although the amount of imperial blood is a little small, it's not a bad thing."

As he spoke, Duan De looked at the dragon aura near the Demon Emperor with great longing. Such a place for ascending to immortality was extremely rare in the universe. If he were buried there, the Emperor's corpse would definitely be able to communicate with spirits.

Xue Yueqing was definitely not without a backup plan for his death; this Emperor-level life force is the biggest proof of that.

"Does it need to have a physical body?"

The Demon Emperor's expression immediately darkened. He sighed softly and then asked, "Does the Underworld Emperor still remember the Lunar Jade Rabbit?"

"The Jade Rabbit of the Moon?"

Duan De's heart skipped a beat, but his eyes were filled with confusion. He shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

Xue Yueqing watched with genuine emotion and helplessness. Even the Underworld Emperor, who had traveled the furthest on the path of reincarnation, was in this state. What could a half-dead man like him do?

To put it bluntly, he only had one last obsession left. Because of the Emperor's blood, he could live for eternity, but he was not a true Demon Emperor.

They only had the strength to fight one battle, and then they returned to dust.

The Demon King left behind his obsession in order to protect the woman he loved.

I want her to live!

The Demon Emperor, obsessed with Lin Xian, suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Xian with utmost solemnity. He had only one request: Lin Xian could take everything else.

"Blood contains fragments of the Great Dao, which is the foundation of longevity."

"As long as faith endures and lives in one's heart, it is the immortality of the spirit."

Holding the Emperor's Banner, Lin Xian, with a solemn and dignified expression, solemnly declared: "Therefore, if you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't!"

"Because of belief, a similar flower will appear, not out of thin air, but extracted from the hearts of all beings."

The moment those words were spoken, the void trembled, the Underworld Emperor turned around, the Demon Emperor was shaken, and the Holy Lord Lin had actually revealed one of the greatest mysteries of reincarnation.

A similar flower is my divine self, my departed self, which appears because of faith.

This is the Great Dao that Lin Xian has comprehended after many years of presiding over the future Buddha's Dao Fruit. The past deities recite scriptures for this life, praying for rebirth in the Pure Land.

Therefore, Amitabha Buddha is the unchanging self that has passed away, representing the collection of memories of all beings towards him, while Shakyamuni is the one true self, the demonic shell of the great emperor of Buddhism.

And then there is the Dao Self, symbolizing the future, infinitely changeable. It could be Lin Xian, or Hua Hua, or anyone willing to admit they are Amitabha Buddha. The history books of time spoken of by Lin Xian are not illusions, but rather the vast ocean of the minds of all beings, a collection of their subconscious.

If billions of living beings believe that such a person exists, then a similar flower will bloom, at least one-third of the truth.

"Deceiving others, deceiving oneself, and even deceiving Heaven." The Demon Emperor sighed with obsession, "What a colossal lie, what a future Buddha."

"Your Majesty is mistaken." Lin Xian smiled and said leisurely, "This is enlightenment attained in a dream."

"How can one attain enlightenment in a dream?" the Demon Emperor demanded. "It's like trying to scoop the moon's reflection from a well; the moon is in the sky, but its reflection is in the water."

Lin Xian clasped his hands together, like a solemn Buddha, and said, "Borrowing the false to cultivate the true, all four elements are empty, only in the true emptiness can wondrous existence arise."

Even four lifetimes of ruthless people cannot bring back those who have died without fail; they must wait in the mortal world.

Creating a demon queen is already the theoretical limit.

The Heavenly Court bestows titles upon gods, not the Heavenly Emperor; it is not omnipotent.

The Demon Emperor pondered for a long time, gazing into the void, celestial light flickering in his palm. Finally, he made his decision: "Use the false to cultivate the true... If there is no false, how can there be the true..."

The primordial imperial blood surged and separated from the obsession. The demon emperor's obsession merged with the withered flower, leaping into the human emperor's banner and transforming into a stunning woman in white, making the already extraordinary banner even more majestic.

The remaining Emperor's imprint roared, like the Emperor's blood leaping in the heart, outlining its initial form, activating the fragments of the Great Dao, wrapped in wave after wave of dragon energy, rushing towards the deepest part of the universe, as if one could see silver dragons dancing and the Emperor's corpse lying in the sky.

"A demon emperor of his generation..."

Duan De looked lost and rubbed his hands together like a fly, saying with great regret, "What a pity about the Emperor's corpse."

"There's nothing to regret." Lin Xian gazed into the distance, feeling that the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing would still pull off a big stunt. There was still a glimmer of hope left. If the remains from the path to immortality were retrieved, it would likely cause a world-shaking change.

These days, emperors are all more adept at creating drama than the last. If they don't rise from the dead, how can the world know that they possess unparalleled magical power and are invincible in the human world?

Even the supreme beings of forbidden zones, before their death, will put on a grand performance to broaden the horizons of all cultivators throughout the ages.

With the turmoil in the star field over, the Black Emperor was overjoyed with the abundant harvest, prompting him to exclaim, "The Demon Emperor truly lives up to his name; he is incredibly magnanimous."

Dozens of medicinal kings that are over 100,000 years old can extend the lifespan of many great saints. All of them combined are almost equivalent to half a plant of immortality elixir.

Duan De, sharing the same sentiment, muttered, "This is called an Emperor's Tomb, huh?"

Compared to this, the Tomb of the Green Emperor is nothing but scrap metal, like children playing house. If you knew it was an imperial tomb, you'd think it was a garbage dump.

"Ow..."

As one dragon roar after another resounded, the dragon horse, while bathing in the lightning tribulation, sublimated and almost transformed into a true crimson dragon.

This time, Longma reaped the greatest rewards, absorbing the essence of the Holy Spirit Ancestor to strengthen himself and obtain unimaginable Dao fruits, no less than the Foundation Establishment stage of the Immortal Elixir, officially stepping into the threshold of the Emperor's Son level.

The Four Dark Emperors of Heaven truly deserve their titles at this moment!

"Hahaha, I've succeeded! I've succeeded! From this day forward, I am the leader of the Four Beauties..."

Longma returned from his tribulation, extremely excited. His origin was incredibly powerful, comparable to a legendary true dragon. For a moment, he became arrogant and unruly, traversing the starry sky with a "Horse Trampling a Flying Swallow" maneuver, wanting to ride Lin Xian back to the Heavenly Court.

"You dare to defy the Great Sage? What kind of pipe dream are you having? Do you think you're Ye Fan?"

Lin Xian immediately sneered, showing no respect to Longma, and immediately gave him a good beating, letting him see what the Great Sage Barrier was like, the difference in their realms was like heaven and earth.

He's just a Holy Spirit at the level of an Emperor's son; he's still far from being a young Emperor.

"Fuck!"

Longma screamed repeatedly, on the verge of tears, and said, "Wasn't it said that Lin Xian was the weakest Great Sage? Why did it turn out like this?"

"You actually believe Lin Shengzhu's nonsense?"

Duan De shook his head. There are also thresholds between the princes of the emperor.

At the very bottom are the supreme offspring, who stop at the half-step path to enlightenment and become guard dogs.

Only the most outstanding among the supreme offspring, with the hope of surpassing their fathers, is qualified to come to this life, such as the Holy Prince, Dao Yi, Ji Zi, Huang Xu Dao... all of whom have unique aptitude for achieving Dao.

Tai Chu, Zhang Bairen, Emperor, such outstanding individuals destined to become emperors are also imperial sons, only they are sons of the Heavenly Emperor.

Above them is the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's son, who can sit at the same table as Ye Fan.

"It's not that Lin Xian is too weak, but that Ye Fan is too strong. This generation's Ancient Sacred Body is a bit overpowered."

The Black Emperor frowned slightly, then coughed lightly and said, "It seems I have no choice but to let the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo be born. Once the Great Emperor Wushi's physique is revealed, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will submit, and he is destined to dominate the universe."

“I, the Holy Lord of Tianxuan, am no ordinary person. Even if I cannot ascend to immortality in the mortal world, I should still enter the Heavenly Court and rule over the rise and fall of humankind.” Lin Xian returned riding his dragon horse and said leisurely, “I wish to lend a helping hand to the innate holy body and Dao embryo, so that it can reach another level.”

Ye Tianxuan is the direct disciple of the Great Emperor Wushi, and is naturally the son of the Heavenly Emperor. He can easily defeat Zhang Bairen in the Taichu era, but there is still a gap between him and his father.

"I had the same thought," Duan De said, shaking his head. Then he looked around at the void and asked in confusion, "But where did that child go?"

The Demon Emperor's tomb is almost empty, but Ye Tianxuan has not appeared.

Everyone was puzzled, so they all used their intelligence systems.

"Your Majesty the Black Emperor, something terrible has happened! Crown Prince Ye has been lured away by the gods!"

Half a day later, a saint from the Heavenly Court's secret service came to report that their branch was not strong, belonging to the Black Emperor's paparazzi team, and was responsible for collecting intelligence and training assassins for the Heavenly Court.

"What?! Those damned gods dare to touch my people!"

Enraged, the Black Emperor brandished his golden scepter, summoning this forbidden artifact to gather forces from all corners of the Heavenly Court for an expedition to the ancestral star of the gods.

The innate sacred body and Dao embryo are its most precious possessions; if anyone dares to touch them, the big black dog will fight them to the death.

With drums beating and generals gathering, the Heavenly Court's battle flags fluttering, and troops from all sides mobilized, including legions of saint-level warriors. The leader was the divine general Guan Cheng, who had been introduced to the Chaotic Ancient Sect by Lin Xian a few years ago to study the imperial scriptures of this lineage. His aura had become increasingly terrifying, and he had embarked on an unconventional path, making him the undisputed supreme commander of the Heavenly Court.

This lineup has caught the attention of powerful races in the universe. The Heavenly Court has already reached this level without relying on divine organizations, Buddhism, or other holy lands, just by relying on its own Imperial Guard.

"Wind! Wind! Wind! A strong wind rises, and the clouds fly high!"

A mighty war song resounded, clanging powerfully as it led to the ancient path of the gods.

The army was amassed, with too many troops being drawn from it. As for the Central Heavenly Palace, it was completely empty. Ye Fan, who was diligently cultivating and comprehending the Great Sage realm, had a question in his eyes and beckoned a general from the Silver Blood Royal Clan to inquire about the situation.

"Your Majesty, we have been ordered to set out on the expedition." The Silver Blood Warrior said excitedly, "All the departments of the Heavenly Court are scrambling for slots, it's almost chaos."

Ye Fan: ?
He did not recall issuing any decree for the expedition.
