Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 118 The Beginningless Past
A bad person's elaborate schemes are no match for a fool's flash of inspiration.

Qin Sheng thought that Black Emperor was that stupid person, no, that stupid dog.

"The title 'Four Heroes of the Heavens' is not appropriate; let's not mention it again," Qin Sheng said.

"Why?" Black Emperor asked, puzzled.

"How impressive!"

"Have you ever heard the saying that the establishment of the Heavenly Court is inauspicious, and that those who presumptuously claim to be the Heavenly Emperor will surely suffer calamity?"

Both the man and the dog nodded in unison. Black King said:

"I heard the Great... Lord briefly mention that there are great karmic consequences in the Heavenly Court."

"It is said that the Azure Emperor wanted to establish a Heavenly Court ten thousand years ago, but in the end, it didn't come to fruition," Duan De added.

"Right, that is it."

Qin Sheng: "Although we don't know the specific reasons behind this, there must be some taboos in this vast universe that we have to respect."

I can only say that those who understand will understand, and there's nothing I can do for those who don't.

"The name of Heaven, I had a feeling from the beginning that it should not be used presumptuously or overstepped."

This wasn't Qin Sheng threatening the Black Emperor and Duan De; indeed, there exists a higher realm above all heavens.

That place is an eternal land, where reincarnation is impossible to repeat. Humanity is as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, while the path of immortality is eternal, and there is more than one emperor among the immortals.

Most importantly, Heaven did not grant them a good end; they perished.

"The Four Heroes of Heaven, I feel this is an ominous sign."

Black Emperor and Duan De pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"You have a point."

Qin Sheng suddenly smiled and said:
“I have an idea. Since you are so fond of the title ‘Heaven’, why don’t we do this? You and Ye Zi will be known as the Three Sons of Heaven.”

"This doesn't count as overstepping my bounds, so there shouldn't be any problem. How about that? Wasn't I thoughtful enough?"

"It's not entirely impossible," the Black Emperor said, looking at Qin Sheng.

"But why are you one of the Three Sons of Heaven? And what about you?"

"I'm easygoing, I'll take anything, even the Lord of Heaven," Qin Sheng replied casually.

Back in college, Qin Sheng had always wanted to be Ye Fan's father, and Ye Fan felt the same way.

Black Emperor, Duan De: "..."

"Immortal Qin, that's a bit unfair of you. Are you trying to take advantage of us?"

Qin Sheng's expression turned solemn. "You're mistaken. I'm taking on your karma and saving you!"

"Woof! You surnamed Qin, you're the most shameless one!"

"It's like a dog biting Qin Shengzi, not recognizing a kind heart."

Qin Sheng shook his head and sighed, "What a waste of sincerity."

"Don't keep mentioning dogs." Black King's face darkened; this was definitely directed at him.

"How is Ye Zi?" Qin Sheng asked.

"He's doing very well. He's already reached the Dao Palace Secret Realm and is diligently studying Origin Techniques."

Black Emperor replied, "You don't need to worry about him. I've figured it out. That kid is ruthless too. He won't get into trouble so easily."

"Are you as ruthless as you?" Duan De seized the opportunity to retort.

"You immoral Taoist priest who digs up people's ancestral graves, what right do you have to speak?" Black Emperor said disdainfully.

"To know someone like you is a disgrace to a virtuous and noble person like myself!"

Duan De slapped his thigh, "I've been so distracted by you, you damn dog, that I've completely forgotten about the important matter."

"So, Immortal Qin, are you going there or not?"

"Where to?" Black Emperor keenly sensed something.

"I remember, you fatso, didn't you just say you had some kind of opportunity coming your way for someone surnamed Qin? What kind of opportunity is it?"

"Don't even think about abandoning me, the Emperor! The Four Heroes of Heaven are of one mind!"

"Fellow Daoist Duan has discovered the ancestral tomb of a destroyed holy site in Hezhou and invited me to explore it."

Qin Sheng did not hide anything from Hei Huang, mainly because he was afraid there was a trap involved and was somewhat reluctant to agree to Duan De's request.

The imperial weapon could indeed protect him, but Qin Sheng had never underestimated Duan De. Who knew if this guy would find a way to deal with him?

If Qin Sheng were to be robbed by this unscrupulous Taoist priest, he would have nowhere to turn for help.

"Hezhou? A holy land that has already been destroyed?!" The Black Emperor's voice rose considerably, filled with astonishment.

"How could it be there?"

"Hmm?" Qin Sheng looked at the Black Emperor and asked:

"What happened there?"

"nothing……"

Black Emperor's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

"Immortal Qin, that place is truly a divine land, full of endless opportunities. It's not to be missed."

Duan De earnestly advised, "If it weren't for our good relationship and the fact that I needed you to use the Imperial Weapon to pave the way, I definitely wouldn't have come to you."

"Hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back if I go."

Qin Sheng laughed. "Don't think I don't know, you unscrupulous Taoist priest, you only cheat people you know."

"How could that be? You possess the Devouring Demon Canopy; who in the entire world could harm you?"

Duan De said with a sincere expression, "Even if I had the will, I wouldn't have the ability!"

Seeing Duan De's insistence on inviting him, Qin Sheng became even more determined in his decision.

This guy is too pretentious; there must be a trap involved. We absolutely cannot go.

"Go, go with this unscrupulous Taoist priest!"

When the Black Emperor suddenly spoke, Qin Sheng was both surprised and felt that it was within expectations.

"You damn dog, your greed has gotten the better of you again, hasn't it?"

Neither the Black Emperor nor Duan De were not greedy; they were the kind of people who would rather die than give up treasures.

“Listen to me, let’s go there.” Black Emperor was eager to try. He grabbed Qin Sheng, and the two walked to a distance. Then, Black Emperor whispered:
"The destroyed holy land of Hezhou is related to the Great Emperor. You have an imperial weapon, and with me by your side, there will be no problem."

Qin Sheng was shocked. Was the destruction of the Holy Land related to Wushi?

He recalled what Duan De had said at the beginning: that the holy land had perished approximately 100,000 years ago…

That was the beginningless era!
"That's right. Although the destruction of a holy land is not uncommon, it is not so easy either. If it is a great war between holy lands, or if someone uses an ultimate imperial weapon, it will definitely leave a strong mark on ancient history, rather than being mysterious and unknown."

Qin Sheng suddenly realized, "But if it involves the Emperor, then it's a different story."

At the same time, Qin Sheng also realized Duan De's plan.

This unscrupulous Taoist priest probably intends to use the power of the Great Emperor Wushi to counteract the Devouring Demon Canopy, and then stab him in the back with blood.

"What exactly happened? Was a Holy Spirit raised there?" Qin Sheng asked telepathically.

After the Black Emperor mentioned it, he remembered that Wu Shi had indeed attacked a holy site that nurtured Holy Spirits. "How do you know about nurturing Holy Spirits?" the Black Emperor asked in surprise.

Someone who knows the Great Emperor better than me?

"I heard it."

“That is indeed true, but the holy site for nurturing the Holy Spirit is not in Hezhou.” Black Emperor shook his head.

"The Great Emperor briefly mentioned this matter to me back then. There is a big problem hidden in a holy land in Hezhou. Once it erupts, it may endanger the Eastern Wilderness."

Black Emperor: "So the Emperor secretly took action to eliminate the hidden danger, but for some reason, he did not make this public."

"I don't know exactly what happened either, you'll find out when you get there."

For later generations, many phenomena and mysteries that are difficult to understand today are mostly caused by the ancient emperors.

That level is too high; their actions are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, seeming like mythology or divine miracles.

Qin Sheng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are you really confident?"

"I am the Emperor's dog!" The Black Emperor was somewhat angry, as this questioned his relationship with the Great Emperor Wushi!

"Go, go! We're sure to make a big profit. Then we can give that scoundrel a good thrashing!" Black Emperor urged.

Qin Sheng nodded and changed his mind.

Can the power of the Great Emperor Wushi counteract the Devouring Demon Canopy?

Assuming the latter has not yet recovered, there should be no problem. It is still unknown whether the stronger one is the Ruthless One or the Beginningless One.

But with Black Emperor around, there's really no need to worry about that. The bond between this dog and Wushi is so deep, it transcends years and eras.

"But let's make it clear beforehand that any treasures found there will be split 30/70," the Black Emperor said.

Qin Sheng complained, "Why am I only getting 70%?"

"...I'll take 70%!"

"What kind of dog language are you speaking? I'm a human, I don't understand it."

The man and the dog returned to Duan De's side, and the fat Taoist said with some doubt:

What are you whispering about? Are you trying to trick me?

Really good at reading people.

Qin Sheng sighed, "I didn't want to go originally, but Black Emperor insisted."

“He even said that if I don’t go, he will go with you alone. Yezi and this dog have a very good relationship. If something happens to Black Emperor, I will have a hard time explaining it to Yezi.”

Ye Fan, far away, sneezed and cursed the Black Emperor under his breath.

That damned dog must be after me, and he's got bad intentions towards me.

"Let's go, I'll risk my life to keep the dog company."

Duan De felt that he had also been scolded by Qin Sheng, but he finally persuaded Qin Sheng that he was not willing to cause any further trouble for the time being.

You bastard surnamed Qin, this time I'll show you how powerful I am!
"Let's go now!"

"Wait a minute, I'm going back to Yaoguang's base."

Inside the camp, Saintess Yao Xi, as a fixed NPC, reappeared in front of Qin Sheng.

"Holy Son, you've returned."

Qin Sheng was speechless. "As the Holy Maiden, don't you have anything to do of your own?"

He felt that Yao Xi always seemed very relaxed whenever he saw her.

"Of course I had something to do, I just happened to run into you, Holy Son." Yao Xi blinked her big eyes and asked curiously:

"It seems that the Holy Son, Daoist Duan De, and that black dog are really friends. Holy Son, have you ever dug up graves with Daoist Duan De?"

"..."

Presumptuous guy.

Qin Sheng wanted to say no, but he did have such an experience with Duan De, and he was going to the ancestral tombs in Hezhou next.

"Do you know who I am?" Qin Sheng asked.

“I know, you are the Holy Son of Yaoguang.” Yao Xi looked at her with a questioning expression, as if to say, “Why would you ask such a question?”

"You really do have a kind of pure beauty..."

and many more.

Qin Sheng suddenly realized that it was impossible for Yao Xi, as a saintess, to be completely without any scheming.

Since he became the Holy Son, Yao Xi has often appeared in front of him. Could it be that the Holy Lord of Yao Guang has given her some kind of mission?

Qin Sheng's thoughts shifted, and instead of revealing anything, he asked:

"You're here just in time. Let me ask you, what have that damned dog and that scoundrel Taoist priest been doing all this time, using my name?"

Yao Xi looked puzzled and said:
"When Master Duan De and Black Dog first came to see you, they happened to meet and started fighting. It seems that they became friends after the fight. When they reappeared, they were all together and claimed to be your friends, Holy Son."

"After that, they met Ji Haoyue. The black dog clamored that he wanted to take the divine body as a pet, saying that since the divine body was the Holy Son's defeated opponent, it would be the divine body's honor to be his pet."

Qin Sheng's expression was subtle; it turned out that Emperor Haoyue was the first victim.

"These two ran very fast, and the Ji family couldn't catch up with them. A few days later, the man and his dog ran into the Purple Mansion Saint Son again, and the Purple Mansion Saint Son made a few sarcastic remarks."

"Who would have thought that after dark, he was ambushed by Master Duan De and the black dog, and bitten by the dog, becoming a laughing stock in the Holy City."

"How did the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion ridicule them?" Qin Sheng asked curiously.

"A despicable hypocrite, a hairless dog demon, only good at bullying others."

Qin Sheng smiled. Hei Huang hated it when people talked about his bald tail. Duan De was the type of person who emphasized what he lacked most.

But does this Purple Mansion Saint Son have some kind of opinion about me?
"Later, these two publicly declared that they would train all the holy sons and daughters of the holy families on your behalf, saying that this was your intention..."

Qin Sheng's face darkened. When did he ever say such a thing?
It's one thing to discipline the Holy Maiden, but why not even spare the Holy Son?
Also, if anyone's going to be disciplined, it'll be me personally. Do you two even know how to discipline them?

"Holy Son, shouldn't we clarify this?"

"No need," Qin Sheng waved his hand and smiled.

"These two oddballs thought they could use my influence to show off, but in reality they are in more danger."

“There are plenty of people in the Eastern Wilderness who want me to disappear, but they can’t do anything about me. This man and dog are attracting hatred so conspicuously that many people will transfer their killing intent towards them instead of me.”

To understand this, the reason why the powerful figures from other holy lands and aristocratic families allowed Qin Sheng to roam freely without openly attacking or killing him was not because his cultivation at the Dragon Transformation Realm was already invincible, but because of his identity as the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

But Duan De and the big black dog, without the protection of the Yao Guang Holy Land, are still so actively seeking to provoke hatred...

If we can't touch the Holy Son Qin Sheng, can't we at least touch you two, you man and your dog?
Of course, this man and his dog are both tough and won't die, so Qin Sheng isn't worried.

"As for them using my name to do things... I'll definitely have to collect some interest from them."

Qin Sheng already had a plan in mind for his upcoming trip to the sacred land of Hezhou.

Duan De is untrustworthy, and neither is Hei Huang; both are insidious and shameless bastards.

The only people he could trust were himself and the icy, cold Devouring Demon Canopy.

At this moment, Qin Sheng felt a slight stirring in his heart, and the Boundless Land reacted.

I'm dead again?
