In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 641 [Why Did the Underworld Emperor Surrender First?]

"Whether they are or not, they cannot become emperors. The Great Emperor Wushi recorded the imprint of the human universe on the Investiture of the Gods, which can interfere with these imperial markings."

Lin Xian took out the Immortal Treasure Map and smiled slightly, saying, "Besides, we also have this, which gives us far more coordinates than the Forbidden Zone of Life."

"The Immortal Treasures Map?"

Everyone's eyes narrowed. They had all heard of the legendary celestial map, which was said to record the secrets to becoming an immortal. It was a void map between the immortal realm and the mortal world, and they never expected it to be in Lin Xian's hands.

"I remember the Investiture of the Gods was used to suppress the Immortal Taoist."

Chuan Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that the Emperor has tampered with the protective formation left by the Emperor, intending to sacrifice this universe in order to return to the Immortal Realm?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated. Compared to the Emperor's intention to destroy the universe, the Heavenly Emperor seemed to have a different purpose.

After all, the Emperor is ruthless, an outsider, and has no feelings for the human world or the universe.

"Whether it is true or not, the propaganda should put all the blame on the Emperor."

Lin Xian said leisurely, "The immortal ghost who is inherently evil, as a spy sent by the Immortal Realm, will stop at nothing to stop the emperors of the human world from seeking immortality. It is normal for him to do anything."

"The words 'Heavenly Court' represent light and justice, and will not tolerate any darkness or blasphemy."

"Even if the Emperor himself came, it wouldn't work!"

To reiterate, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor is not the Emperor, nor is Emperor Ye the Emperor. Only the Emperor believed by all beings is the true Emperor.

All for faith, to create immortality in the mortal world, to forge the supreme heavenly court, and ultimately to be deified!
"Ugh……"

Ning Fei and Chuan Ying exchanged a glance. These two old enemies, whose feud had lasted for millions of years, were of one mind and shook their heads in unison. The young people these days are truly shameless.

The emergence of a Chaos Emperor in this era is a matter of whether it is a blessing or a curse for all living beings in the universe.

Lin Xian wields his power, rewrites history, and alters ancient records. Even if the Emperor himself were to come back to life, he would still nail the Emperor to the cross, burden him with darkness, and make him bear the sins of all living beings.

Several new underworld officials who had already submitted to the Heavenly Court nodded in agreement and ordered their subordinates to burn books and bury corpses alive, destroying page after page of historical materials.

Even if a cultivator buries the truth underground, the underworld can still dig it out, ensuring absolute safety.

Aside from forbidden zones, no organization is older than the Heavenly Court and the Underworld. When these two organizations agree on a story, that becomes official history.

As for the living ancients like the Dark Sovereign, you actually believe what they say? Kid, are you trying to collude with the Forbidden Zone of Life?
"Let's put the matter of history books aside for now. Take me to inspect the treasure vaults of the underworld."

Lin Xian coughed lightly and waved his hand, signaling the several new palace masters of the underworld who were writing furiously to slow down, as they still had important matters to attend to.

"I will obey the law."

The original Nine Heavens Palace Masters were all defeated by Ye Fan. Now, several Quasi-Emperors from the Underworld tremble before Lin Xian, bowing deeply as if they were paying homage to a supreme being.

"Wait, this is my underworld. When did it become your place to be in charge?"

A dazzling array of supreme laws shone forth as three Netherworld artifacts intertwined to form a Great Dao that stretched across the eighteen layers of Netherworld. A towering, bloated figure descended, proclaiming with overwhelming majesty, "I, the Netherworld Emperor, have returned!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Underworld Emperor!"

Several underworld quasi-emperors seemed to have found a pillar of support in an instant, and hurriedly paid their respects with great ceremony. The remaining underworld soldiers, generals, and war slaves also knelt down like a tide, welcoming the return of the Underworld Emperor.

"King of the Underworld, the Underworld has returned to the Heavenly Court. What are your intentions?"

Lin Xian shouted loudly, his expression solemn, and secretly transmitted his thoughts: "Fatty, why aren't you moving? Once Ye Fan arrives from Beidou, we'll be split among three."

Duan De trembled, then straightened up and scolded the quasi-emperors: "I have long been a member of the Heavenly Court. The Emperors are my disciples. Why don't you take the Heavenly Court angels to the treasury for inspection?"

"what?"

The newly appointed Lord of the Underworld Palace stared blankly, hesitant to speak. If it weren't for the three imperial weapons that accompanied Duan De, he would have almost doubted whether the person in front of him was the Underworld Emperor.

If I truly wish to fight to the death, why did the Underworld Emperor surrender first?

The treasure trove of the underworld is extraordinary. This organization is even older than the ancient Heavenly Court of the Emperor. It was founded by the Heavenly Venerable of Tribulation in his later years. Later, with the continuous addition of the Mythical Heavenly Venerable, it evolved into the forbidden zone of the underworld as it is today.

Lin Xian and Duan De rushed in, taking five of everything – the Nine Great Immortal Golds, Chaos Stones, World Stones, and even a 100,000-year-old Medicine King – and even found many auxiliary materials for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill along the way. "As expected of the forbidden area of ​​the Underworld, its foundation is too deep."

Lin Xian sighed. Originally, the Heavenly Court's inventory could only refine one immortal pill and a few immortal liquids, but now it can produce at least two nine-turn immortal pills.

"The true essence of the underworld is not these things."

Duan De said solemnly, clearly having done his homework before coming. He ordered the quasi-emperor of the underworld to lead the way to the deepest part of the netherworld.

The underworld is vast and boundless, like another great universe, with no end in sight. At least, the underworld has been excavating for millions of years without reaching the bottom.

In the deepest part of the underworld, one corpse after another is laid out, their clothing so ancient that it is impossible for people of this world to recognize them.

"Traces of the chaotic ancient era..."

Lin Xian murmured, "These are the buried ancient histories, and this is the buried past era!"

"The Corpse Emperor was dug out from here back then."

The quasi-emperor of the underworld said tremblingly, "The adults of yesteryear once said that this place has buried all living beings in the universe, and not just for one era. This is a cycle of reincarnation."

"At the end of the cycle of reincarnation, everything will come to an end, and the underworld will be the final resting place for all souls..."

Duan De murmured, having gained a new understanding of the words, and asked in return, "What is the name of this underworld?"

"The Emperor's Burial Pit".

The quasi-emperor of the underworld answered honestly.

"What the hell?!" Lin Xian was suddenly jolted awake. Was this reincarnation, or was there really such a thing as cause and effect?

The palace masters of the underworld explained that more than one supreme corpse was unearthed from here back then, but only one corpse king was barely preserved and could be buried with the reincarnation seal.

The remaining imperial corpses were all incomplete and unable to withstand the test of time, unlike the true imperial corpses, and were damaged in various ways.

The Emperor's physical body is the capital for defying the immortals and conquering the immortals, which is incomparable to cultivators from other eras. The root of this lies in the Undying Scripture.

"The Corpse Emperor's previous incarnation also practiced the Immortal Scripture."

Lin Xian seemed to be deep in thought. The cycle of reincarnation that the underworld had been developing continued forward, stepping over the corpses of one era after another. At the very front was endless chaos, and the path could not be seen.

He suddenly slapped forward, and instantly the pure and impure separated, giving rise to the primordial chaos, with primordial energy surging forth, truly the creation of heaven and earth.

The quasi-emperors of the underworld trembled. Even when several supreme beings in the past paved the way, this was no more than what they had witnessed.

"Crash!"

As the chaotic energy dissipated, a pure land appeared. Just as the universe was about to stabilize, the divine power seemed to have encountered something, producing a clanging sound, like the ringing of a sword.

"That's a large tomb!"

Duan De, an archaeological expert with incredibly sharp eyes, spotted the Chaos Tomb in an instant. He roared and rushed over, excitedly exclaiming, "Could it be left behind by a prehistoric immortal?"

"Why is there only a foundation stone and no tombstone?"

Lin Xian also stepped forward to examine it for a moment. He felt that the large tomb in front of him was connected to him, and he had a feeling that it existed in the dark. After thinking for a moment, he trembled and seemed to have thought of something. He quickly took out the inscription he had obtained from the immortal tomb and installed it.

In an instant, the two merged into one, emitting a dazzling celestial light that illuminated the celestial script of the chaotic ancient era, which only those who had reached a certain level of cultivation could understand.

Near the immortal script, a line of small, extremely ancient characters appeared.

Even Duan De, as the King of the Underworld, could only barely make out a few details. He translated, "The great shaman of Shijiazhuang died here. Cao, who was born on a rainy day, built a tomb for him."

“Wrong,” Lin Xian said calmly. “Yes, the High Priest of Shicun is buried here, and Cao Yusheng erected this monument.”

"Cao Yusheng?"

Duan De paused slightly, then murmured, "Cao Yusheng, that name sounds familiar."
