As Zhu Chen strode through the air, the towering phantom of his natal dharma body behind him slowly receded and finally merged into his body. Little Tower couldn't resist any longer and immediately flew in front of him, beginning to examine him from head to toe:
"Kid, how are you feeling now? Even I, Master Ta, can't see through your new body. It's really too strange."

Zhu Chen stretched his body and a cheerful smile appeared on his face: "I feel great! To borrow Hai Bodong's words, I have never felt so refreshed!"
"Hai Bodong? Who is this person? How come I've never heard you mention him before?"

The woman with double pupils approached gracefully, her eyes, capable of seeing through everything, carefully examining Zhu Chen's newborn body, as if trying to uncover more secrets.

Zhu Chen shrugged: "He's just a bodyguard for one of my friends, you don't need to worry about him."

The woman with double pupils continued to scrutinize Zhu Chen: "A 'bodyguard' whose name you can remember must have some extraordinary qualities."

Zhu Chen smiled and said, "If we're talking about something extraordinary, he certainly does have something. He always has a mysterious confidence. Even when facing opponents whose cultivation level far surpasses his own, he dares to step on them and fight a few 'peak matches.' Although he often gets beaten pretty badly, he always manages to survive. He has good luck and resilience."

He had originally intended to say that Hai Bodong was quite good at showing off, but considering that the woman with double pupils might not know the meaning of the word 'showing off,' he didn't mention it.

"Knowing he was no match for them, he still drew his sword; that shows some spirit."

The woman with double pupils gave an objective evaluation of Hai Bodong.

In her long life, she had seen too many people who shrank back or despaired because of the gap in strength. Hai Bo's stubborn personality, on the contrary, made her look at him with new respect.

At this moment, Xiaota suddenly chimed in, "Kid, tell me what exactly happened with that drop of blood? Why couldn't even the ancient double pupils see through its origin, and why did it suffer a backlash upon contact? The aura emanating from that drop of blood... does it not belong to this era at all?!"

It doesn't care about the East or West coast.

What it cared about most was the origin of that drop of essence blood that had just caused both it and the woman with double pupils to suffer a setback.

When Xiaota asked about the drop of blood, Zhu Chen did not hide anything.

He frankly stated, "If I'm not mistaken, that drop of blood was sent back by my 'future' imperial body through some means beyond my imagination, against the flow of time. Its purpose was perhaps to help me rebuild my foundation and rise from the ashes in today's calamity."

Despite having guessed it beforehand, when Zhu Chen calmly uttered the words "future emperor's body," the little tower still couldn't help but tremble, its light flashing wildly.

"Boy, do you know how much karma this word contains? After the Immortal Ancient Era, this word has almost become a taboo. Even beings at the Immortal King level rarely dare to utter it lightly, for fear of not being able to withstand the karmic backlash and calamity from the darkness. You... when you just uttered that word, didn't you feel anything?"

Xiaota's tone was filled with disbelief and a strange sense of fear.

It has existed since ancient times, knows many secrets, and is well aware of the weight and terror of the word "Emperor" after the chaotic ancient era.

The woman with double pupils was also staring intently at Zhu Chen.

She was equally aware of the weight of that word.

Zhu Chen smiled when he saw their tense and solemn expressions.

"Cause and effect? ​​Backlash? That's hilarious!"

He gently shook his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the space and time before him, looking towards the unknowable future: "Little Tower, have you ever heard of... 'One certificate, eternal proof'?"

"One certificate for life?"

Xiao Ta and the woman with double pupils were both taken aback.

This statement was somewhat unfamiliar to them, yet it seemed to touch the edge of some supreme rule, causing both of them to feel a sense of unease.

"Not bad." Zhu Chen stood with his hands behind his back. Although there was no overwhelming magical power leaking from his body, the natural pressure and vast blood energy originating from his Heaven-Opening Dao Body gave his words an undeniable power.

He looked at the little tower and said to the woman with double pupils, "Simply put, at some point in the future, when I truly step into the 'Emperor' realm, or... a level above the 'Emperor' realm, that achievement will become an 'established fact' that runs through all my past, present, and future timelines. My 'existence' itself will be anchored at that height from that time onward."

At this point, Zhu Chen paused slightly, then turned to look at the small tower before continuing, "So... it's not that I'm not experiencing any causal backlash from uttering the word 'Emperor' now, but rather because the future 'outcome' is already predetermined. This cause and effect, this backlash, will already be borne by the future 'me,' and may even have become part of my path. When I talk about the 'future Emperor's body' now, it's like stating a fact that will inevitably come. Naturally, there's no need to fear the tribulation of 'speaking the cause' in the usual sense, because the 'effect' has already been determined."

These words were earth-shattering, leaving both the woman with double pupils and Xiaota silent for a long time.

Xiao Ta was completely stunned.

The light emanating from its tower began to flicker, as if it were engaged in incredibly complex deductions and contemplation.

Above the Emperor Realm?
Bearing the causal responsibility that spans time?
How to transform backlash into a path?
Each of these meanings seems to be beyond the scope of his current understanding!

The same applies to women with double pupils.

She hadn't expected Zhu Chen's explanation to be like this.

Will the other party become a Celestial Emperor in the future?

How can this be?

Even in the distant ancient era, no one has ever become such an existence.

The world today is incomplete in its laws and principles, and there isn't even a single true immortal.

How could anyone possibly become an Emperor Realm cultivator?

"To put it another way..."

At this moment, Zhu Chen's voice rang out again: "I dare to use the word 'Emperor' now because I am both the 'cause' and the 'effect'. In the future, I will inevitably reach that point, so I am naturally worthy of everything that this title brings!"

Zhu Chen repeatedly used the word "Emperor," further confirming the veracity of his words.

Xiao Ta and the woman with double pupils remained silent for a long time.

Looking at the transformed young man before them, whose words exuded an invincible belief, they realized for the first time with such clarity that this guy from the lower realm, who seemed to have stumbled and fallen along the way, had a future that had reached such terrifying heights!

He will surely become an emperor in the future; this is not something an ordinary person can say.

The other party was able to speak easily and utter that word.

It has already proven everything.

Xiao Ta also wanted to try speaking that word, but the words just wouldn't come out.

He felt that if he uttered that word, some terrible divine punishment would immediately descend upon the world, annihilating him completely, body and soul, and condemning him to eternal damnation.
