Covering the Sky: I am the King of Men, and I rule over the rise and fall of all heavens.

Chapter 123 The Rise of the Great Emperor
It was thanks to the cooperation of various regions that this grand array, which runs through the entire ancient realm and connects various sacred sites, was completed in just a thousand years.

Over the course of a thousand years, a supreme being rose to power alongside the construction of the great formation.

Jiang Bai observed for a moment and discovered that the other party might be a second-generation Source Master.

Because Lin Feng didn't die in this life, the Source Master lineage he created wasn't lost to the outside world, so the second-generation Source Master in the original story didn't follow this path.

But relying on his unparalleled talent in Source Arts, even without obtaining the inheritance of the Source Master, he created his own lineage of Source Arts and, through the process of building the great array, rose to prominence and became a supreme being.

Although the current supreme ruler is much weaker than the former emperor.

After observing for a while, Jiang Bai stopped paying attention to the other party and focused more of his energy on another rising star.

Xia Yan, a peerless prodigy who rose to prominence by comprehending the imperial dragon aura.

One man, one sword, traversing the heavenly path, utterly carefree.

“Perhaps a great emperor will emerge in this generation,” Jiang Bai said, smiling as he stared at Xia Yan.

Having recovered, Wu Shi raised an eyebrow: "Senior, are you saying that this young man can defeat the supreme beings of his generation and obtain the title of Great Emperor?"

Jiang Bai nodded. That's right, he suspected that this guy was the Supreme Emperor from the original work.

“Then let’s take a look together. Just like what the Human King said, this generation can produce one who can suppress all the strong people of the same era and obtain the title of Great Emperor.” Shen Bai also laughed.

Before anyone could speak, Shen Bai continued, "Moreover, we can also take this opportunity to resolve some long-standing grievances."

Yes, there are accumulated aspirations in the ancient world.

Basically, it's about the grudges and conflicts between the original Dao lineage of the Shrouding the Heavens universe, the Dao lineage of the strange world, and the Dao lineage of the immortal realm.

Although the original universe of the Shrouding the Heavens currently dominates the top-level combat power, when the three worlds merged, the other two ancient worlds did not put up any resistance, or rather, dared not resist, and had no strength to resist.

However, over the years, several generations of new people have replaced the old. The geniuses who rose from the original strange world lineage and the original immortal world lineage all believe that if Lao Tzu had been born a few years earlier, their original world would not have lost, and it would not have been Jiang Bai and others' turn to dominate the original ancient world.

The original Dao lineage of the Shrouding the Heavens universe unanimously believes that the Dao lineages and races of your two worlds are trash, losers. Why should you share such a prosperous era with us unless you completely submit to us and become our vassals?

Even within the merged Golden Crow clan, there are internal frictions.

Therefore, over time, many grievances and conflicts accumulated, and with the addition of things like you killing me and me killing you, it was only a matter of time before they erupted.

These are the great emperors of the Heavenly Court, known to all the ancient emperors, but no one cares. They think that killing is healthier, since in the end, the one who will win is definitely the lineage of their original Shrouding the Heavens universe.

Even the usually kind-hearted Shen Bai thought so, and believed that having an extremely powerful figure emerge from the world of "Covering the Sky" to overthrow the other two worlds' lineages and geniuses was an excellent solution.

Perfect timing! Jiang Bai has his eye on Xia Yan today, so let's just deal with him together.

Jiang Bai also thought it was a good idea, and decided to have a fight.

"Then let's all enter the revived Realm of the Gods, and incidentally, let's use the 'Land that Connects the Past and Present' as a reward for the 'Great Emperor'."

The others thought about it and unanimously agreed that it was a good idea; such a cheat device as the "Place of Ancient and Modern Times" could only be used by people of the same "rank".

Otherwise, if an ordinary supreme being were to come, wouldn't it make these former emperors and ancient sovereigns seem rather low-class?
However, we must first revive the Realm of the Gods.

Although Jiang Bai's intuition told him that all he needed to do was merge the Seed of the Void God Realm and the Treasure Land of Daoist Rhyme.

But Jiang Bai didn't expect it to be so easy.

That's right, it's easy.

When Jiang Bai materialized the grand array connecting all the Daoist treasure lands, starlight illuminated the entire Primordial Ancient Realm, and the seed of the Void God Realm was integrated into it, the entire Primordial Ancient Realm suddenly resounded with chanting. These chantings contained boundless Dao principles.

Under the watchful eyes of Jiang Bai and the others, the Great Dao Laws contained within the Seed of the Void God Realm surged into various Daoist Treasure Lands, accelerating the revival of the figures within.

An inexplicable force bound Jiang Bai and the others. After a moment's thought, Jiang Bai and the others realized that this was the power of the Void God Realm.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Bai and the others found themselves in a dilapidated world. Beneath their feet was a huge altar, and all they could see were ruins, as if they had just experienced an earth-shattering battle.

Suddenly, beams of light rose from all corners of the ruined world, each containing a figure.

As the pillar of light rose, the devastated world began to recover, the mountains stood tall again, the rivers surged once more, and life reappeared.

Jiang Bai explored the past again and found that blessed lands had appeared in the Void God Realm, containing all kinds of treasures.

Most importantly, Jiang Bai carefully investigated and discovered that this place was open to anyone at the Supreme Realm level, allowing them to freely enter and explore for trials without him having to improve his own power.

"It seems this was planned in advance," Jiang Bai smiled.

That being the case, let’s get started.

.........

The new calendar, a timeline of dates following the resurgence of the ancient world.

In the third thousand years of the new calendar, the Human King, who sat high on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, ordered the opening of the Realm of the Void Gods, where he resolved many long-cherished wishes of the Daoist lineages and competed for the position of Great Emperor.

The time limit is one thousand years. Whoever can defeat all the Supreme Realm experts and gain everyone's recognition will become the new Great Emperor.

The reward is a journey through time, a chance to become an immortal.

Upon receiving the news, all beings in the Primordial Ancient Realm were excited. They first expressed their gratitude for Jiang Bai's benevolence, and then flocked to the Void God Realm to begin their battle for supremacy.

At this very moment, someone asked Jiang Bai if he could go for the kill.
No one dies in the Void God Realm, so how could they possibly kill someone? Jiang Bai understood what this person meant: they wanted to use underhanded tactics to kill someone outside the Void God Realm.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Bai gave his own reply: "We ancient emperors who attained enlightenment in the Dharma-ending Age have all gone through all sorts of trials and tribulations. Which one of us hasn't been besieged, sniped, or hunted?"

"What kind of schemes and tricks haven't you seen?"

Therefore, if a later emperor wanted to become a great emperor, he also had to prove his potential.

With Jiang Bai's words, many vicious people bared their fangs.

Slaughter and bloodshed filled the universe in an instant. The Void God Realm became famous in one battle, but the moment it stepped out, it faced endless pursuit.

The brutal scene caused the fall of many supreme beings in the Primordial Ancient Realm, and the loss of many promising players. Oh, in Jiang Bai's eyes, those who died cannot be called promising players.

However, while some are killed by assassination attempts and sieges, others rise to prominence amidst them.

Xia Yan, the young man favored by Jiang Bai, used the Imperial Dragon Qi to kill three Supreme Beings who were besieging him.

Faced with the combined attack of three supreme beings, Xia Yan coldly spoke:
"Seeing your siege, I understand why the Human King wanted to select an emperor. It's just that supreme beings like you are too shameful."

"Die."

The imperial dragon energy swept across the starry sky, directly blasting three supreme beings to pieces. Their flesh and blood were ignited by Xia Yan into Dao fire, which he used to hone his own Dao and stimulate his physical body and primordial spirit.

Happy May Day! I wish all my readers a wonderful holiday.

By the way, is there anyone else who works the same job as me? I'd love to hear that!
