The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 49 People’s hearts are fickle
Sensing the instability of the Heavenly Heart Mark above the Nine Heavens, the slumbering Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones also awoke one after another.

"In a mere ten thousand years, will that human emperor pass away?"

"Taiyi must have suffered a backlash from the Great Dao during that process of sorting out the myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth, which has probably damaged his very foundation."

"His ability to hold on for so long has exceeded our expectations."

In an instant, many supreme beings couldn't help but recall the majestic imperial figure standing high above the nine heavens.

For three whole months, Taiyi fought against all the myriad paths of heaven and earth in the Nine Heavens.

The tremors of the human realm and the annihilation of all paths were not mere empty words; some even believed that the human universe would be destroyed in that terrifying battle.

"Fellow Daoists, the Heavenly Heart Mark is shaking at this moment. It seems that Taiyi is indeed nearing the end. I wonder if any of you are willing to come out into the world with me and settle accounts with Taiyi together."

“That’s right. Back then, Taiyi bullied Undying Mountain too much and almost destroyed it. I will never let Taiyi off easily and will make him suffer a miserable fate.”

From the depths of the universe, a sinister voice echoed, sending chills down one's spine.

"Eight thousand years ago, Taiyi had already consumed the immortal peach elixir, and he could no longer live a second life."

"Right now, his vital energy is depleted, and he has been damaged at his root by the backlash from the myriad paths of heaven and earth. I do not believe that he can maintain his peak condition from back then."

Another astonishing beam of light shone from the depths of the universe, and faintly, one could also see a vast and boundless silver ocean.

The Sea of ​​Reincarnation is an ancient forbidden zone for life; its very name is enough to instill fear in countless beings.

Ten thousand years ago, after Chu Tianshu attained enlightenment, he once ventured into the depths of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, forcing a supreme being to emerge and challenge him.

In the end, it took a considerable price to quell Taiyi's anger.

This infuriated the supreme beings in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, who regarded it as a great disgrace.

If Taiyi's performance hadn't been so terrifying that the Sea of ​​Reincarnation wasn't confident, they would have chosen to swallow their anger.

Now, ten thousand years have passed, and Taiyi is no longer at its peak. Naturally, these supreme beings have developed different thoughts.

In an instant, one supreme aura after another began to awaken.

"It's too early to say these things now. Although the Heavenly Heart Imprint is unstable at the moment, given Taiyi's performance, it should be able to hold on for another one or two thousand years."

"Two thousand years from now, when Taiyi has declined to the extreme, we will be born together again to settle accounts with him!"

"If we go to their door now, we'll likely end up dying together, which is not worth it."

Upon hearing this, many supreme beings echoed his sentiments.

Even someone as strong as them had to admit that Taiyi was indeed much stronger than them.

At this moment, the Heavenly Heart Mark had only just begun to show signs of instability, but with the Emperor's methods, it was enough to stabilize it easily.

Furthermore, given Taiyi's excellent constitution, he should be able to survive for another one or two thousand years.

If we were to attack their door now, we would likely have to pay a considerable price.

To be able to cut oneself and fall into a forbidden zone of life to survive, which of these supreme beings isn't a selfish and self-serving person? How could they possibly do the work for others for a moment of impulse?

Before long, as the various forbidden zones of life reached an agreement, the supreme aura that permeated the eight wastelands of the universe gradually dissipated.

All the forbidden zones of life have fallen silent again, and are even more hidden than before.

Clearly, they also feared that Taiyi would go mad in his later years and rush into the forbidden zone of life to perish with them.

In the chaos, a golden road unfolded, and wherever it passed, the originally turbulent chaotic power immediately became docile.

After dealing with the chaotic small world, Chu Tianshu headed back towards the human realm universe.

Fortunately, he had deliberately left a signpost before leaving, otherwise he might have really gotten lost in the vast chaos.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Tianshu finally sensed a very familiar aura ahead, and his spirits immediately lifted.

However, as soon as Chu Tianshu approached the human realm, he immediately sensed the overwhelming malice emanating from all living beings in the world.

"Huh?" "I didn't expect so many people to be hoping I'd pass away soon!"

In his perception, this malice not only originated from the various forbidden zones of life, but also from the ancient races.

Even among the human race, there are some who are quite dissatisfied with it.

The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone can understand this, after all, Chu Tianshu made them lose both face and substance ten thousand years ago, and they wished they could devour Chu Tianshu alive.

The ancient races also didn't have a good impression of Chu Tianshu. His appearance allowed the previously declining human race to rise again.

Faced with the human race, who had a great emperor in power, the ancient races had to restrain themselves and give up many benefits, fearing that they would provoke the suppression of this human emperor.

As for the humans who were dissatisfied with him, they believed that his existence hindered their path to enlightenment.

"This is really interesting. It's true that it's hard to be a good person!" Chu Tianshu shook his head.

The scene before him reminded him of a little story from his past life.

Good people have to be held at gunpoint? What kind of bullshit logic is that, Tom?

This is exactly the same situation that Chu Tianshu is facing now.

The masses do not thank Taiyi!

Even though Taiyi intimidated the eight forbidden zones of life, quelled the chaos of heaven and earth, and promoted the revival of the human world and universe, all living beings still did not thank him.

On the contrary, all beings believe that the existence of Taiyi has hindered their path to enlightenment and wish for his early demise.

No matter how many achievements he makes, it's the same.

Human nature dictates that this is beyond the control of any individual, as evidenced by the tragic fates of the descendants of the two sage queens, Taiyin and Taiyang, in later generations.

It is likely that only when darkness and turmoil return will all living beings in the universe remember the achievements of those holy emperors.

Fortunately, Chu Tianshu didn't have high hopes for these common people, so he didn't take them to heart.

As for those supreme beings in the forbidden zones, Chu Tianshu didn't care too much.

Having now comprehended the myriad paths of heaven and earth, his cultivation has reached the standard of a second-generation Heavenly Emperor.

In addition, he himself follows the path of conquest, and is currently in a period of rising vitality, so he is confident that he can suppress everything.

On the contrary, he hoped to take this opportunity to wipe out several forbidden zones of life.

These forbidden zones of life, chosen by numerous supreme beings as places of seclusion, are all rare and divine lands in the human world.

Even Chu Tianshu, who possessed a small chaotic world, did not feel that he had too few divine lands.

Rather than letting these divine lands fall into the hands of those supreme beings, it would be better for them to fall into the hands of Chu Tianshu.

"Since that's the case, I might as well go along with your ideas and see just how many people dare to come out and cause trouble."

Thinking of this, Chu Tianshu's energy rapidly declined.

In the blink of an eye, his face was already deeply lined with wrinkles and his hair was completely white, making him look like an old man on the verge of death.

If it weren't for the supreme imperial aura emanating from his brows, no one would guess that this was the once invincible emperor who dominated the universe.

boom!
A vast golden road pierces through the universe, building a golden bridge between heaven and earth.

The boundless imperial might descended from the golden path, its terrifying aura spreading throughout the human realm. All things in heaven and earth resonated with it, and all living beings bowed down before the imperial might.

In an instant, the previously swaying Heavenly Heart Mark became incredibly stable, like the eternal and unchanging Great Dao, suppressing everything.

"Humph!"

"The end of the strong crossbow!"
