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

However, this did not discourage Gu Qing and the others. Although the strange race had destroyed them and severed the heavens, they had not completely lost.

Their plans have gone very smoothly, haven't they? Look, even the God Emperor has become the leader of the Soul River.

Therefore, Gu Qing and the others continued their development after returning to the heavens.

The Heavenly Court civilization was rebuilt once again, and one after another, forces of cultivators began to rise.

At this moment, the eerie progenitor struck again, corrupting the entire secret realm and turning a large group of people from all over the heavens into fallen cultivators to fight against Gu Qing.

"This is slowing down the development of the heavens." Jiang Bai said quietly as he watched this scene.

Jiang Bai then turned his attention to the other ancient realms that had mysteriously revived, the places where "Jiang Bai" was nurtured.

Sure enough, there, one ancient realm after another flourished, and one true immortal after another emerged.

However, each place was confined by the ancestor.

In the years that followed, Jiang Bai witnessed firsthand the vast differences between people.

The heavens possess cultivation methods left behind by figures such as Blood Phoenix, Myriad Dragon Emperor, Emperor Venerable, and Undying Heavenly Emperor, yet Gu Qing, Black Emperor, and others were unable to assemble a set suitable for the cultivation of all living beings.

So much so that in order to create an opportunity for the heavens and to draw their attention, Ye Fan did not hesitate to expose his identity and go to the heavens.

He ventured into the heavens in his immortal form, bringing back the Pollen Road Evolution Method.

Later, Ruthless and Wushi also wanted to create an opportunity for the heavens to expose themselves.

Thus, all the geniuses were finally on the right track, leaving Jiang Bai utterly speechless.

He had previously guided all beings to create their own cultivation methods for this very moment, but it was all in vain; everything returned to the original trajectory.

This incident made Jiang Bai even consider replacing Gu Qing.

But I still held back.

Next, Jiang Bai went to see the "Jiang Bai" trained by the strange clan and to see their demeanor.

As Jiang Bai walked along, he met six "Jiang Bais" trained by a strange clan.

Well, they were all very strong, and they all became the founders of their own cultivation systems and regional overlords.

But no matter how you look at it, it didn't surpass the level of the mastermind Jiang Bai back then; in fact, you could say it was far inferior.

This is because a strange race occasionally gives them advantages and sends people to guide them.

"I'm afraid the Strange Clan is quite annoyed right now," Jiang Bai said with a soft laugh.

After all, they thought they had successfully cultivated this experimental subject, but in reality, they were cultivated by the mastermind Jiang Bai.

As Jiang Bai had expected, when he saw that each of the Jiang Bais he had nurtured was unable to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level and required him to invest more resources, the Strange Ancestor became angry and performed a small sacrifice.

This was a small, controlled ceremony, merely a warning to the "Jiang Bai" group they had cultivated, to tell them that there were enemies beyond their reach.

Therefore, even Xiaoji's sword is just an ordinary, eerie king.

Furthermore, these ancient realms that nurtured "Jiang Bai" were subsequently occupied by eerie kings who became the mortal enemies of "Jiang Bai" and waged great war against them.

Even so, these trained "Jiang Bai"s failed to surpass themselves, surpass the Jiang Bai of the past, surpass the Jiang Bai behind the scenes, and only became existences similar to the old Golden Crow Immortal King.

About a million years later, after Ye Fan had advanced to the Sacrificial Dao, he traveled to the heavens and broadened the horizons of the ancestors.

Both the Ruthless One and the Beginningless One researched new methods to annihilate the bizarre Immortal Emperors, and each took away one of them, embarking on the path of sacrifice. The bizarre race finally reached its limit and carried out a great sacrifice against the useless "Jiang Bais," destroying their ancient realms one by one.

Just when Jiang Bai thought they would give up, the strange clan began another training program.

This time, they began multifaceted training.

The strange clan first resurrected the Corpse Immortal Emperor, put him in charge of the overall situation of the heavens, and established a new Shrouding the Heavens Universe, attempting to replicate the paths of Ye Fan, the Desolate Heaven Emperor, the Ruthless Man, and Jiang Bai.

Then, in the nursery where they cultivated the "Jiang Bai," the strange clan also sowed seeds, creating eras that covered the sky, and establishing the civilization process of Heavenly Venerable, Ancient Emperor, and Great Emperor.

This time, it can be said to be a one-to-one recreation of the era of "Covering the Sky," meaning the characters have changed but the background remains the same.

Jiang Bai couldn't help but marvel at the grand scale of the strange race, using millions of years as a unit of time, ancient realms as experimental fields, and countless beings as pawns.

Furthermore, it manipulates the rules of the heavens as an experimental tool, reaping rewards in real time.

Then Jiang Bai saw the two cunning old foxes, Huangtiandi and Ye Fan, enter the Dharma-ending Age created by these strange races and resurrect one after another of the previously fallen members of the Shrouding Heaven Clan, such as Emperor Zun, Undying Emperor, Carefree Heavenly Venerable, and Longevity Heavenly Venerable.

They were made into successful "experiments" for the bizarre race.

Let them eat the strange creatures' food, drink the strange creatures' drink, play with the strange creatures' games, and finally kill the strange creatures' monsters.

Jiang Bai couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

However, it must be said that this method is very much in line with everyone's values.

Jiang Bai even saw the Undying Emperor giving advice to Ye Fan and the Desolate Emperor, suggesting that when they rise to power in the future, they should eliminate some of the higher-ups of the strange races to create opportunities for them to take over.

"It seems they're turning the Weird Clan into a winery."

"I just wonder who will be the last member of the strange clan to do the work."

Jiang Bai's curiosity was piqued; he found this whole spectacle incredibly interesting.

However, Jiang Bai did not expect that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and Ye Fan would go to such lengths to conceal the identities of the Emperor, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, the Carefree Heavenly Venerable, and the Longevity Heavenly Venerable.

Suddenly, the Desolate Emperor erupted, charging towards the eerie plateau, drawing out several progenitors who engaged in a great battle in the heavens, before leading his people into the unknown ancient history.

Afterwards, Ye Fan stepped on the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron and crashed into the plateau, using endless blood energy to unleash a thousand-year killing attack on the plateau. He then rushed onto the strange plateau, provoking the remaining ancestors.

Eight of the ten progenitors were provoked by two people, demonstrating the full extent of the power of the entire realm.

In addition, Emperor Bone Brother suddenly appeared from the heavens and took away the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

The series of changes enraged the ancestors, who had been repeatedly tricked.

"What a ridiculous situation. Let's have some fun then," the Black Blood Ancestor said in a cold voice.

Immediately afterwards, countless strange armies descended from the plateau and entered the myriad realms, venturing into those ancient worlds that had been used as experimental nurseries, where they were stationed to maintain order.

Commanding them is the God Emperor, a being who has forged his own path of evolution and is widely recognized by the strange race as a potential candidate to ascend to the Strange Immortal Emperor.

The reason why everyone agrees he can be promoted is that the ruthless person publicly annihilated a strange immortal emperor, making room for his advancement.

As for the other quasi-immortal emperors of the strange races who were older and stronger than the God Emperor, they were all dead.

Some died in the previous Battle of the Soul River, while others, seeing the vacant spots open, wanted to advance to the Strange Immortal Emperor, only to be killed by Wushi using the information given by the God Emperor.
