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

Chapter 147 Jiang Bai's Decline
When Jiang Bai, Wu Shi, and the Ruthless One crossed the dam boundary and returned to the heavens, the alien realm had already been destroyed, and the purple-haired king and the others were all dead, their corpses lying there.

Apart from the Primordial Ancient Realm, which is guarded by the God White and the two Burial Kings, the other Ancient Realms are filled with creatures corrupted by darkness.

Of course, there are also creatures that have not been contaminated.

Many of the ancient beings in the primordial realms of the heavens have been corrupted.

"This is our enemy's biggest trump card: they can create more of their own kind at will."

"And people who are contaminated will grow up faster."

Jiang Bai spoke to Wu Shi and the Ruthless Man.

Faced with those ancient beings from the primordial world who were polluted amidst the myriad heavens, Jiang Bai personally created a world for them to live in.

Being corrupted into dark beings does not mean they are completely loyal to darkness.

Like the Guardians in Perfect World, they are also corrupted, yet they still stand on the edge of the heavens.

Therefore, Jiang Bai did not choose to kill all these corrupted creatures.

"So what should we do next with the heavens?" Wushi sighed softly.

"We'll just leave it there and not deal with it. Anyone who comes to attack us is an enemy, and anyone who comes to join us, as long as they haven't been contaminated, we'll accept them," Jiang Bai said calmly.

"Also, let's suspend the refining of other ancient realms. I'm afraid those ancient realms have been corrupted by darkness."

He's not in a hurry at all now, because there's no point in being anxious.

It would be better to wait patiently for the birth of Emperor Ye.

That was one of the biggest pillars of their future fighting force, and ensuring their advancement had become the most important step.

"Moreover, the heavens, which are filled with dark creatures, can also serve as a testing ground, which is quite good."

Jiang Bai's words were somewhat ruthless, making Wu Shi and the Ruthless Man realize that something was wrong with him.

Jiang Bai ignored them, handed over the primordial spirits of Xu Kong and the others to Shen Bai to help them recover, and then returned to the Human King's Palace.

Under the Bodhi tree, Jiang Bai took out a teacup and poured himself a cup of tea.

With a snap, before the tea could even be tasted, the teacup was crushed by Jiang Bai's hand.

If there were outsiders here at this moment, they would be shocked. The King of Man, who has never changed his expression since time immemorial and has always been very composed, and who is admired by countless people and regarded as their backer, is now looking ferocious.

The terrifying aura emanating from Jiang Bai made the Bodhi tree tremble.

"I've lived my whole life under the watchful eyes and schemes of others," Jiang Bai said ferociously.

The voice saved him, but it also proved that he had been under surveillance all along.

"Moreover, my path to becoming an Immortal Emperor was changed without my knowledge."

Jiang Bai always remembered that the path he initially chose for advancement was to refine the heavens and the celestial realms along with the Primordial Ancient Realm, eventually becoming the only Great Realm, and gradually advancing his cultivation.

But now he is walking the path of becoming an Immortal Emperor alone.

Although it is related to the ancient world, the connection is becoming increasingly shallow.

Moreover, Jiang Bai's advancement to Quasi-Immortal Emperor was also very sudden, as if someone couldn't wait for him to continue advancing with the Primordial Ancient Realm and let him advance ahead of time.

Consider also the situation where the heavens were polluted, and the primordial ancient world was unable to refine the heavens for advancement.

Especially since the strange clan knew that Jiang Bai would take the path of advancement along with the Primordial Ancient Realm, they directly polluted the heavens, preventing the Primordial Ancient Realm from devouring him and blocking Jiang Bai's path to becoming an Immortal Emperor.

Others, having known this beforehand, chose a different path for Jiang Bai to advance.

"So, I've always been a pawn in someone else's game, even my cultivation is under someone else's control." "Isn't that ridiculous?"

At this moment, Jiang Bai's mentality was really collapsing. He wanted to lie down and let others do whatever they wanted.

After all, the blow was too great.

Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, Jiang Bai has always considered his life to be smooth sailing thanks to his intelligence and perseverance.

Now, telling him, "Child, everything about you was arranged by someone else; you were just a pawn," Jiang Bai really can't accept it.

How could one's Dao heart not crumble?
Anyone would collapse in that situation.

So Jiang Bai gave up, and without anyone knowing, sealed off the Human King's Palace, took him to the depths of the Primordial Ancient Realm, found a deserted place, and lived a simple life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

If the strange race comes to kill him, he dies; if they don't, he just hides.

As for the person behind the scenes, Jiang Bai didn't believe it. He wasn't cultivating anymore, so how could the other party still control him?

………………

In the Heavenly Court of the Great Luo Heaven, Shen Bai and the others noticed Jiang Bai's disappearance and all showed serious expressions.

"It seems that this scheme has dealt a heavy blow to the King, forcing him to seize the time to go into seclusion and work hard."

No one thought Jiang Bai would give up. In Shen Bai's words, "A person who has been betrayed countless times and can still stand up again, do you think he would be defeated?"
It can only be said that Jiang Bai, who has always been confident in his strategic planning and wisdom, and his ability to handle all situations, has been dealt a blow by the enemy's scheme this time, and needs to recover.

But everyone believed that, given Jiang Bai's personality, he would definitely work hard in secret to scheme and retaliate next time.

It is impossible for them to yield.

"The enemy is terrifying. Even the Human King has gone into seclusion to plan. We must also work hard and not always hold the Human King back," Shen Bai said with a serious smile during the meeting.

By this time, Xu Kong and the others had returned. Their primordial spirits were unharmed, and reshaping their physical bodies was a minor issue for people of their level.

Moreover, none of them used the body parts that Jiang Bai collected.

Upon hearing this, everyone unanimously agreed with Shen Bai's idea. They couldn't rely solely on Jiang Bai anymore. The enemy had only revealed the tip of the iceberg of their power, yet they had almost crippled them.

The Celestial King was just cannon fodder; he easily corrupted most of the heavens with a single move. How terrifying must the forces behind him be?

In order to increase the number of combat troops, Hengyu proposed a grand plan.

"Reassemble our shattered bodies and then imbue them with spiritual power. The resulting human beings will possess unparalleled physical talent and unmatched combat strength."

The two funeral kings' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they said they would do it, as they were the best at it.

The Celestial King's physical body possesses spiritual power; what a terrifying burial master he must be!

Soon after, the Kunlun Mountains on Earth were transformed into a top-tier burial ground by the two Burial Kings, and Hengyu and others were buried there, their bodies reconstructed from fragments of their bodies.

Based on an estimated timeframe, it would take approximately tens of thousands of years to achieve spiritual communication and become a peerless genius.

The time was roughly before the Golden Age, which made Wu Shi mutter to himself, "I have a feeling something bad is going to happen during the Golden Age."

After that, everyone fell into a frenzy of cultivation, with a group of immortal kings led by Wushi, Ruthless, and Void hoping to advance further.

The immortals of the mortal world, led by Taihuang and Yunyue, also began to work frantically, striving to become immortal kings as soon as possible.

As time passed, twenty thousand years went by in the blink of an eye. A roc defeated many supreme beings of the primordial ancient world and killed two corrupted dark supreme beings from all the heavens, thus ascending to the position of Demon Emperor.

However, he failed to become a mortal immortal through the "land connecting the past and present," and only walked the path of mortal immortality for five lifetimes.

This situation caused Xu Kong and the others to look downcast and feel extremely bad, so they began to cultivate even more diligently.
