Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 117 The Four Heroes of the Heavens
With a heavy heart, Qin Sheng left the Yao Guang camp. When he went outside, he saw that Hei Huang and Duan De were indeed waiting for him.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Duan De burst into laughter, "Good brother, we were forced to separate in the Tianxian Abyss, but today we finally meet again!"

"Wang!"

Black King came closer, sniffing left and right, his eyes burning with desire.

"Immortal Qin, you smell so good! Have you already refined the Essence of Heaven? Did you leave any for me?"

“Take out the source of all things’ mother energy, the mother stone of destiny, and the dust of chaos and ruins and let me see them. I’ll take a look for you. It wouldn’t be good if they were fakes.”

Qin Sheng wanted to slap this dead dog. Could the primordial energy of all things be fake?
Yao Xi followed not far behind Qin Sheng, peeking out furtively and looking in their direction.

"Holy Son, are you really friends with them?" she asked curiously.

"It's fake, I have nothing to do with them."

"So you're turning your back on us, huh?" Black Emperor said, displeased.

"We went through thick and thin together, even took a bath together. Have you forgotten all that?"

“We almost became sworn brothers back then,” Duan De added.

"I don't have time to waste on your nonsense."

Qin Sheng left first, saying, "If there's anything, let's talk somewhere else."

It's too conspicuous here, embarrassing, extremely embarrassing.

Black Emperor and Duan De flanked Qin Sheng, and the three of them left together.

Yao Xi gazed at the backs of the two people and the dog, and found them surprisingly harmonious.

A quiet, deserted corner of the holy city.

"How did you all end up together?" Qin Sheng asked.

“Following Ye Fan is pointless. I heard that you cut out the Ancient Insect Divine Source, the Marrow of the Heavens, and the Divine Mark Purple Gold in the Holy Land Stone Workshop, so I came to find you immediately.”

Duan De chimed in, "I also heard about this and, knowing you were in the Holy City, I came here specifically."

"Then I ran into this dead dog."

What shameless characteristic aggregation law?

Qin Sheng sighed inwardly, "It's true what they say, 'People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat.'"

"Kid, what's with that look on your face? Aren't you welcoming us?"

Black King's paw slammed down on Duan De's thigh, and he said:
“We’re here to help you. Think about it, you were all alone before, and you were able to cut so many good things from the Holy Stone Workshop.”

"Now that I and this wicked Taoist priest are helping us, the three of us working together, won't we be able to take off?"

With a fawning grin, the Black Emperor said, "Quickly, quickly, bring out the Ancient Insect Divine Source and the Divine Mark Purple Gold for me to see. I'll check if they're genuine."

"Also, how did you manage to refine the Marrow of the Heavens? I know a formula that can maximize the power of the Marrow of the Heavens. Here's what we'll do: give me some of your blood, and I'll prepare a powerful medicine for you."

"You're still as shameless as ever." Qin Sheng looked at Duan De and asked:

"What's the matter with you?"

"Don't worry, brother. I'm not like this dead dog. I won't try to steal your treasure."

Duan De patted his chest and said, "I have an opportunity to share with you!"

"Woof! You shameless Taoist priest, you've been cursing me for ages! I've put up with you for so long!"

Black Emperor showed no mercy and bit down on Duan De.

"Damn you, you dog! A gentleman uses his fists, not his words, you know that?"

Duan De was a nimble fat man. He dodged the Black Emperor's attack and slapped him again.

The man and the dog started wrestling in front of Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng: "..."

This combination leaves one speechless.

Duan De and Hei Huang were like that; perhaps due to the principle of "like repels like," they disliked each other intensely.

All I can say is that if we are not a family, we will not enter the same family.

"call……"

Black Emperor gasped for breath, sticking out his tongue, "I'll let you go for now."

"I don't want to argue with you!"

At this moment, Qin Sheng said lightly:
“Fellow Daoist, I remember you said last time that all those so-called Dog Kings and Dog Emperors are only fit to guard your gate.”

"I think now is your chance."

The Black Emperor was enraged. How dare they humiliate the dog race like this?

Dogs should not be insulted!

"You fatso, you're too arrogant. It seems I have to teach you a lesson today."

"I……"

Duan De mumbled some incomprehensible words and ran off, with Black Emperor chasing after him relentlessly.

Those figures running in the sunset represent their lost youth.

"Run, run, the best place is to run to the Northern Plains, to the Western Desert."

Qin Sheng also left this place and returned to the main street of the Holy City. Not far away was the stone archway of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

Upon seeing him from afar, the disciples of the Purple Mansion turned green with rage and rushed into the stone archway, shouting:
"Qin Sheng, the Holy Son of Yao Guang, has arrived!"

"What? Quickly, close the doors and stop all customers! Our Zifu Stone Archway is closed for renovations today!"

After a chaotic commotion, before Qin Sheng could even get close, the gates of the Purple Mansion Stone Archway had already been closed.

“…Very good, Purple Mansion Holy Land, I will remember you.”

This was actually a sign of respect for the masters of Origin Technique, but it made Qin Sheng seem like a plague god.

Qin Sheng continued forward, and when he passed the Ji family stone archway, someone came out and earnestly advised him against it.

"Sage Qin, please stop for Zi Yue's sake. My Ji family really can't withstand any more trouble."

Qin Sheng remained silent, and finally looked up to the sky and sighed.

I've only made two moves, and I've already become a top-tier existence in the field of Origin Arts in this era.

About half an hour later, Duan De returned, but Hei Huang was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is the Black Emperor?"

Duan De's Taoist robe was torn to shreds, and he looked extremely gloomy.

"I've temporarily shaken him off, Immortal Qin. Where did you get to know that damned dog? He's a real scoundrel."

"The first time I met him, I just casually said, 'Where did this bald-tailed dog come from?' and he chased me and bit me for three blocks, almost biting my butt to pieces."

Qin Sheng: "..."

That scene was beautiful.

"The Black Emperor is not simple, and I can't do anything about him." Qin Sheng expressed his helplessness.

"That dead dog was no ordinary creature; its body was as hard as iron. Were you bitten too?"

Qin Sheng shook his head, "No, he wouldn't dare bite me."

To be precise, Black Emperor both dared to bite Qin Sheng and wanted to bite him, but he just couldn't.

Duan De was inexplicably filled with grief and indignation, "Why is this dog bullying me?"

Qin Sheng felt that these words sounded familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before.

"You just mentioned a fortuitous opportunity, what is it?" Qin Sheng asked curiously.

"I almost forgot about the important matter."

Duan De slapped his forehead and revealed a sly smile.

“I discovered a large tomb in Hezhou. I estimate it to be the tomb of an immortal, containing at least ten or eight immortal artifacts.”

Qin Sheng wanted to turn around and leave immediately; the unscrupulous Taoist priest was full of nonsense and didn't tell the truth a single word.

Last time it was about the Heavenly Emperor creating the land of laws, and this time it's about the Immortal's Tomb, with at least ten or eight immortal artifacts. This fatso is getting more and more outrageous, he's really getting bolder and bolder with his boasts.

If something like this happens again, will you say that you've discovered the ruins of a Celestial King or the land of creation of a Celestial Emperor?
"Such a great opportunity, can I keep it all to myself? Of course not, I'm not that kind of stingy person!"

Duan De said with righteous indignation, "The first person I thought of was Immortal Qin. We are brothers, we should share the good times together!"

"So, how about we go to Hezhou and pull off a heist?" "Tell me the specifics, don't make things up," Qin Sheng said.
"The Immortal's Tomb? You dare to boast about it? I don't even believe it."

Duan De showed no shame at being exposed, and said:

"According to my investigation, that should be the ancestral tomb of a sacred site."

"...You're going to utterly offend that sacred place."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even thieves have their code of honor," Duan De explained.

“That sacred site was destroyed about 100,000 years ago, and its lineage was cut off. We went to their ancestral tombs to excavate the lost lineage, so that their Tao and Dharma could see the light of day again, and so that the wisdom crystallization of the sacred site would not perish.”

"If the patriarch of that holy land knew of such a good deed, he would surely be very pleased and would be too busy thanking us."

Duan De was indeed still the same Duan De.

"The holy land that was destroyed 100,000 years ago... How did they perish?"

"Nobody knows, it's a mystery, everything about that place is shrouded in secrecy."

Qin Sheng pondered, considering whether or not to go with Duan De; he hesitated.

The destruction of holy sites is not uncommon; it has happened countless times throughout history.

Ordinary holy sites, founded by powerful figures in the realm of the Holy Path, were once illustrious, but time is merciless, and glory is always swept away by the winds and rains.

Let alone ordinary holy sites, even extreme forces are at risk of annihilation. The Sun God Cult and the Taiyin God Cult on the ancient star Ziwei are examples of this.

Without an ultimate imperial weapon, nothing can be called eternal.

The holy land that Duan De mentioned is definitely not the lineage of the Great Emperor, there is no doubt about that. Logically speaking, Qin Sheng has an imperial weapon, so going there would be a guarantee of safety.

But he hesitated because he felt something was amiss.

"This unscrupulous Taoist priest has suffered so many losses at my hands, and now that he's discovered the sacred ancestral tomb, he still thinks of me?"

Qin Sheng was suspicious. "That fatso isn't the kind of person who can easily swallow a loss. It's impossible that he would suffer losses at my hands every time, yet still give me benefits every time."

Duan De is not a masochist.

No, that's not right. There's definitely something wrong here.

"Wang!"

The familiar barking sounded, and Black King came over, staring at Duan De with a menacing gaze.

"You fatso, you're really something else, you actually managed to shake me off."

"Don't come any closer, or I'll really get rough," Duan De warned Black Emperor.

The Black Emperor seemed to be thinking about something, and finally let out a hum.

"Your flesh reeks of corpse stench. Do you think I'd want to bite you?"

"What stench of corpses? That's the fragrance of a grave!"

Duan De jumped up in anger, saying this was nothing short of malicious slander and alarmist talk.

"Hey Qin, how did you get to know this scoundrel of a Taoist priest?" Black Emperor accused.
"This guy is inhuman, so shameless, infamous. We've heard a lot of people cursing him in the Holy City these past few days."

"When the Azure Emperor's Tomb appeared, I met Fellow Daoist Duan there," Qin Sheng replied casually.

"The Tomb of the Azure Emperor?"

Black Emperor regretted it deeply. "I've heard about the emergence of the Azure Emperor's tomb from others. What a pity! Why didn't I get to witness this?"

The Azure Emperor's Tomb, the Bronze Immortal Palace, the Devouring Demon Jar—the thought of missing out on so many things made the Black Emperor's heart ache so much he could hardly breathe.

Mine, all of them are mine!

"You dead dog should be sent to fill the Qing Emperor's tomb," Duan De said to Qin Sheng.

"Immortal Qin, this is no good dog. After he came to the Holy City, he did a lot of bad things under your name, shouting everywhere that he wanted to take people as pets, and he even bit the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion."

"The whole Holy City is now buzzing with rumors that the Holy Son of Yaoguang has raised a vicious dog to deal with the other Holy Sons on his behalf."

Qin Sheng froze, then grabbed the Black Emperor and asked fiercely:

What have you been doing?

Black Emperor's eyes darted around nervously as he answered somewhat guiltily:

"I didn't do anything, Immortal Qin. You know me. I'm still quite fragile after being born and I desperately need treasures to grow. The Holy City is so big and there are so many treasures. It's hard for me to resist."

"Oh, so you're still a baby?" Duan De said sarcastically.

Black Emperor glared at Duan De and said, "Besides, I didn't use your name. I just told others that I was your sworn brother."

Black King argued vehemently, "But we do know each other, and we've even faced life and death together, haven't we?"

“I’m just telling the truth. You can’t stop people from telling the truth, can you? We’re all honest people, let’s not do anything fake.”

"Also, don't be misled by this fatso," Black Emperor retorted, attacking Duan De.

"He also said you were his good brother in the Holy City, that you had gone through life and death together several times, and I even learned my rhetoric from him!"

Duan De's eyes began to dart around, and he spread his hands and said:

"That's indeed the case, Immortal Qin. I can't just pretend I don't know you."

"We met when we were both nobody. I still remember those days when you, me, and Brother Ye were laughing and chatting happily, entwined with the fairy."

“We are sworn brothers who almost had chicken heads chopped off and paper money burned for each other. Blood is thicker than water, how can we sever our bond?”

Looking at these two oddballs, Qin Sheng looked up at the sky and felt as if crows were cawing.

"It seems I must also turn my back on all living beings."

The only blemish on Qin Sheng, the great, wise, and glorious Holy Son of Yao Guang, might be his acquaintance with these two people.

The world will surely misunderstand me, thinking that I am in cahoots with Duan De and Hei Huang!

Of course, this is not a very serious matter. The number one person in the Eastern Wilderness is also a human being. He must have his own friends. It's nothing.

In the original story, the relationship between Ye Fan, Duan De, and the Black Emperor was known to all, yet it did not prevent him from becoming the Heavenly Emperor, revered by all living beings.

Given Qin Sheng's current strength and status, no one would dare to pin the blame on him for what Duan De and the Black Emperor did.

History is written by the victors. When Qin Sheng proves his worth in the future, he too will be a glorious and flawless emperor.

You agree, right, that Emperor Jiang, who has a friend who desires the Dao?
However, those two bastards, Hei Huang and Duan De, are just too vulgar in their speech, making people grit their teeth in annoyance.

"You damned dog, don't try to twist the truth and ruin my friendship with Immortal Qin."

"You fatso, you're the most shameless one, sticking your fat face up to Qin Xianren and trying to get on his good side."

Black Emperor spat, "Blood is thicker than water, you should take a piss and look at yourselves. How do you two even look alike?"

"You're just a bald-tailed dog. I'll buy a chain and tie you up tomorrow."

"Woof! You fatso, I wouldn't even want someone like you as my pet!"

"Ha, a dead dog nobody wants."

Enraged, Black Emperor, having his sore spot hit, lunged at Duan De once more.

Human-dog battles can erupt anytime, anywhere.

"You guys fight, I'm going back to eat."

Qin Sheng walked away without looking back, and the man and dog immediately stopped and chased after him.

"Don't go! We, the three heroes of the heavens, have finally gathered together. It's time to join forces and accomplish something great!" said the Black Emperor.

"...What the hell is this 'Three Heroes of the Heavens'?" Qin Sheng was speechless.

It would be better to call them the "Handsome and Charming Duo," since Qin Sheng is handsome.

Duan De clapped his hands and laughed, "This title is brilliant, Dead Dog, you're really smart."

The Black Emperor proudly declared, "In this great age, countless heroes have emerged, and we are undoubtedly among the best. We are destined to reign supreme, invincible above and below heaven and earth, looking down upon all the heavens like the heavens themselves!"

“That makes sense, absolutely right.” Duan De nodded repeatedly.

“However, I think it should be four heroes, not three. Although Brother Ye is not here, he is a Holy Body and is qualified to be ranked alongside us.”

"You immoral Taoist priest, you've finally said something sensible." The Black Emperor also acknowledged.

Wu Shi's father was the Holy Body, and Wu Shi also had half of the Holy Body's bloodline. The Black Emperor highly recognized this physique.

"The Four Heroes of the Heavens, sweeping across all realms!" the Black Emperor roared.

Qin Sheng's gaze shifted between the man and the dog, barely suppressing the urge to slap them both.

How dare I, Qin Sheng, a fine man, be ranked alongside you?
