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

Chapter 167 Accurately Analyzing People's Hearts
Because of this choice, the Heavenly Court and the Primordial Ancient Realm became two extremes for a time.

The people of the ancient primitive world lay flat to the extreme, and would stay obediently unless given an order.

Under the leadership of the Immortal Emperor and others, the people of Heaven began to cultivate frantically, taking turns leading people to resist the strange race.

Among them, the most fanatical practitioners were those from the ancient Heavenly Court lineage, such as Chuanying.

In this extreme environment, several prodigies emerged, all of whom refused to accept their fate and refused to admit defeat.

Jiang Bai found all of this quite interesting.

As time passed, another 50,000 years went by in the blink of an eye. The entire universe remained the same as before. No matter how the Undying Emperor and others cultivated, they could not break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

This makes the Emperor seem even more awesome.

On this day, Jiang Bai left the tomb keeper's hut and came to the edge of the boundary sea to see off the God Emperor.

"It's been a long time, my former subordinate."

Looking at Jiang Bai who had suddenly appeared, the Divine Emperor's expression was extremely complicated. Finally, he sighed and said, "Seeing you makes me feel that my undercover journey has a future again."

Then the Divine Emperor straightened his posture and said seriously, "Do you need something from me? You didn't acknowledge me back then, so why are you suddenly showing up now?"

Jiang Bai smiled and said, "It's nothing, just to reassure you. There's still hope for the heavens, so there's no need to be disappointed."

"After all, I don't want to see you completely succumb to the strangeness because of your disappointment with the heavens, and be killed by me in the future."

The God Emperor rolled his eyes. "Thank you so much," he said speechlessly, "you're such a kind person."
“I have never lost hope in the heavens, for I am the hope of the heavens.”

"I'm just a little disappointed with my undercover mission."

Jiang Bai shrugged. "Okay, whatever you say."

"I'm leaving now. I'm going back to the River of Souls to break through my limits. My goal is to become the leader of the River of Souls, then the leader of the Heavenly Realm, and then the Strange Plateau."

"So, if you're willing to lend a hand, please clear some obstacles for my promotion."

"Kill several strange Immortal Emperors and strange progenitors."

Jiang Bai smiled and said, "Alright, I'll tell the Desolate Emperor that he's attacking the plateau."

After giving the Divine Emperor some pointers on his cultivation, the two parted ways.

The God-Emperor, walking in the Boundary Sea, whispered, "Thank you."

He knew that Jiang Bai had come to comfort him, afraid that he really couldn't hold on.

The dark and relentless undercover life, especially after betraying the supernatural race, put immense psychological pressure on him.

He was terrified that the strange race would discover his secret and thus... completely corrupt him.

After all, the Desolate Emperor and the others didn't know his situation and hadn't been in contact with him, so they were unlikely to come to his rescue. Duan De and the others knew his situation, but they were too useless.

Therefore, the God Emperor was extremely cautious during this period.

Jiang Bai, after watching the Divine Emperor leave, muttered softly, "Stubborn."

Afterwards, Jiang Bai returned to the Divine Demon Cemetery, only to find the Black Emperor digging Ye Fan's grave with great effort.

Upon seeing Jiang Bai, he promptly shared a bowl of Heavenly Emperor's Blood with him.

Returning the bowl of Heavenly Emperor's blood to the Black Queen, Jiang Bai said speechlessly, "You woke up first just for this bowl of Heavenly Emperor's blood?"

“That’s right, I came here first for this mouthful of the Heavenly Emperor’s blood.”

The Black Emperor's smile was so smug that Jiang Bai was speechless.

However, this did not stop Black Emperor, since taking advantage of acquaintances was Black Emperor's usual practice.

Jiang Bai hadn't expected the Black Emperor to become so ruthless in the years to come. Upon returning to the Heavenly Court, the Black Emperor quickly learned of the subjugated state of the beings in the Primordial Ancient Realm and immediately assured him that he would take over.

In the years that followed, the Black Emperor roamed the ancient primordial world, collecting pets and causing trouble for the younger generation.

Unfortunately, no matter how much the Black Emperor tried to manipulate them, those people remained unmoved.

On this day, someone said to the Black Emperor, "You don't need to provoke us. We all know our own situation."

“We are useless people. We don’t have the environment that Ye Tiandi grew up in, nor do we have the powerful bloodline from the more ancient times.”

"How could we possibly defeat those monsters?"

"Since that's the case, we might as well take it one day at a time."

Through this incident, Black Emperor discovered the thoughts of some of the "lying-down-and-waiting" people, who believed that they lacked talent and did not have the resources that Ye Fan's generation had.

In other words, he harbored resentment and believed that if he had the resources of that era, he could have done the same.

To be honest, Black Emperor looks down on people with this kind of mentality. If you don't even try and just lie down, how can you achieve the glory of Ye Fan's generation?

Besides, did Ye Fan's generation have as many resources as you do now?

However, at least we have a starting point that can provide motivation.

The Black Emperor said generously to the group of people who were lying down, still harboring some resentment, "Since that's the case, I'll give you the resources of that era."

The Black Emperor directly ordered the Undying Emperor and others to destroy the Primordial Ancient Realm, changing the environment of heaven and earth to a level not much different from that of the era of Shrouding the Heavens.

Only the Great Luo Heaven remains in a state of longevity matter recombination.

Then, the Black Emperor generously revealed Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor Scripture and his past experiences on the path to immortality in the mortal world.

Afterwards, the Black Emperor dug up Ye Fan's corpse and used his blood to create a Heavenly Emperor Blood Pool.

"Drink the blood of the Heavenly Emperor to improve his aptitude and create the next Heavenly Emperor, Ye Fan," these were the words of the Black Emperor.

Seeing this, Jiang Bai and the others couldn't help but worry for Black Emperor. "Brother, are you really not afraid that Ye Fan will beat you to death when he returns?"

Black Emperor, however, said he was not afraid, considering Ye Fan to be nothing more than a pet.

Having accomplished everything, the Black Emperor roared at the lying-down beings of the Primordial Ancient Realm: "Now everything is yours. If you don't want to die, then cultivate diligently."

"Of course, if you admit that you are not good enough, you can also ascend to the Great Luo Heaven to enjoy immortality."

"Of course, if you have any other requests, I can also help you resolve them, so that you can focus on your cultivation and realize the dreams in your hearts that have not yet been completely extinguished."

Black King's actions have exposed the hypocrisy of a large number of those who were simply lying down.

It also successfully inspired a large number of people to cultivate frantically and diligently in the Dharma-ending Age, when the lifespan of the Supreme Being is only ten or twenty thousand years, and their cultivation progressed rapidly.

Meanwhile, another group of people admitted they were useless and entered the Great Luo Heaven to lie down and do nothing.

Can one really lie down and relax?
Some people truly rely on their own efforts to break through to the Supreme Realm in a short time, stepping onto the path of immortality in the mortal world during the Dharma-ending Age, and quickly becoming immortals after two lifetimes of honing their skills.

Those who had admitted to being useless and had been lying down felt uneasy upon seeing this.

We were all equally useless back then, so how did these people rise to prominence?
A sense of defiance arose in their hearts: if those people can do it, so can we.

When people see former losers slaying the strange race on the battlefield, becoming great heroes, and enjoying a life of being the center of attention, fewer and fewer people are willing to lie down and admit that they are losers.

As time went by, the trend of lying flat gradually subsided.

On this day, when Hei Huang came to freeload, Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh, "You're so cunning, you have people's hearts completely under your control."
