After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

Like a slideshow, images flashed before my eyes, finally settling on a deep canyon shrouded in a chilling black mist.

"It seems to be here."

Lin Fan said, and released Lin Weiyan.

Just a moment ago, Lin Weiyan was arrogant and wanted to slaughter the entire Bianjing. Now, he was like a lump of mud, staring blankly at Lin Fan.

Forcibly searching his soul in this way has caused irreversible damage to his soul.

Lin Fan didn't pay much attention to him; he looked at Xu Taishang and the others.

The group of people all bowed to Lin Fan.

"Homage to the Saint!"

They bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with indescribable excitement.

Humanity has a saint!

Such news was enough to shake the entire human race across the Nine Provinces.

On the long street, Qu Yan also looked dazed.

"He is a saint..."

He is indeed not a Dao-Slaying Realm cultivator, but a Saint!

It's hard to imagine that a saint would follow them all the way, just listening to them talk about trivial things.

Lin Fan nodded slightly and looked back at the land of Bianjing.

As far as the eye could see, people knelt down one by one. At this moment, whether they had stood on Lin Weiyan's side or not, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and tears welled up in their eyes.

This is a saint! They have saints too.

too long.

Nearly 100,000 years have passed since the last sage appeared.

In the past 100,000 years, humanity has suffered too much, endless invasions and inhumane massacres, all because humanity has no saints.

It poses no threat to those ethnic groups.

But now we have it!

"Buzz!"

The entire city of Bianjing trembled, and a rain of light appeared between heaven and earth, falling upon the entire city. Within the rain of light, the dead were brought back to life, flesh and bones were restored, and all things were revived.

Even the shattered earth is slowly being repaired, and the pavilions and long streets are being restored at a visible speed—an unimaginable miracle.

They looked up at the figure in the sky, their faces filled with shock.

Is this the power of a sage?

"This is the legendary Dao Domain, where all things are revived. The Great Dao of the Sages must be the Great Dao of Life."

"Venerable Eternal Night said, looking at Lin Fan with only respect in his eyes."

Dao Domain is a legendary power. They have only seen records of it in ancient books. Legend has it that when one comprehends the Dao principles to a certain degree, a Dao Domain will emerge.

This is what is meant by attaining sainthood.

Such a miracle must be the power of the Dao Domain.

But... isn't the power of this Dao Domain a bit too strong?

This thought only lingered in their minds for a moment before disappearing. They had never seen a saint, and a saint must be this powerful.

"Qu Yan".

A voice rang out, bringing Qu Yan back to her senses.

"I see that you are interested in reading, so I will share some insights about reading with you. Reading is not a trivial path; one can even attain sainthood through reading."

She looked up and met Lin Fan's eyes.

In an instant, countless insights flooded her mind, and these insights gradually wove together to form a vast road with no end in sight.

"Reading can lead to...the realm of a sage."

She closed her eyes and concentrated, and at that moment she had an epiphany.

Lin Fan smiled faintly, then looked at the Song Dynasty Imperial Palace and took a step, landing in this ancient library with a history of tens of thousands of years.

Xu Taishang, Yongye Venerable, Banshan Venerable, and others all followed.

"I am not some savior. Humanity has its own destiny, which is beyond my control. I am just a scholar."

"As we agreed before, I've taken the books here."

Lin Fan spoke, and the group of people were slightly shocked by his words. They wanted to say something, but when they saw that figure from behind, they couldn't say anything.

The sage has no interest in the human race.

They understood the implication in the words.

But if he really had no heart, how could he possibly be here? He could simply pretend he didn't know.

"If the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is still alive, he will return."

Lin Fan spoke again, and the group was stunned. They saw that Lin Fan had already left the library. When they followed him, they only saw his back.

Step by step, it gradually faded from everyone's sight.

Humans and all living beings seemed insignificant in the face of this one figure.

"You don't need to follow me."

Upon hearing the words, everyone focused their attention and then bowed down in unison to that figure's back.

He came and went so casually, but the shock he gave to humanity was far more than that. The fact that humanity had a sage was enough to influence the history of humanity for tens of thousands of years to come.

On the long street, the celestial being of the Qu family found Qu Yan. Looking at the aura surrounding Qu Yan, his expression was full of shock.

A realm of imagery I've never heard of before.

As if he had figured something out, he bowed again in the direction the sage had left.

The sage did not leave nothing behind, nor did he completely disregard the human race.

Qu Yan was left behind by the sage for the human race.

A genius who has undergone a complete transformation—this is the future of humanity.

Lin Fan left Bianjing, and in theory, this trip should have been over. The Xu family's collection of books, plus the Song Dynasty's imperial collection, would have been enough for Lin Fan to read for a long time.

However, after searching Lin Weiyan's soul, he encountered another problem.

Go find the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Lin Weiyan died when Lin Fan left Bianjing. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, she turned into fragments and vanished in the sky above Bianjing.

The second-best man in the Song Dynasty died just like that.

About ten thousand miles north of Bianjing, there is a canyon shrouded in black mist all year round, which is the place in Lin Weiyan's memory.

Of course, Lin Weiyan's rise and tragedy also began here.

Standing atop the canyon, overlooking the entire canyon, Lin Fan seemed to see something and smiled faintly.

"Little one, this Black Mist Canyon is a forbidden zone for living beings. You'd better stay away..."

A reclusive master who was cultivating above the canyon saw Lin Fan standing on one side of the canyon and spoke up. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lin Fan walk down into the canyon.

His voice abruptly stopped.

A young man at the first level of Body Refinement took a step into the air and descended. All the mist in his path receded, revealing a wide road.

This……

He was stunned.

"roar--"

Roars echoed from the bottom of the canyon, each sound deafening, but Lin Fan walked through it step by step, seemingly oblivious to the sounds.

"Hiss~"

A rustling sound rang out, and a giant python, a hundred meters long, opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan only glanced at it before the giant python's entire body shattered.

"Having developed sentience, does that mean they are considered part of the demon race?"

Lin Fan said, as if talking to himself, or as if speaking to some living being.

"The demon race is hundreds of millions of miles away from the human race. Logically speaking, the demon race shouldn't have any designs on the human race. At most, they might send powerful individuals to eliminate the human race's Saint-level cultivators."

"But the demon race has indeed reappeared on human lands."

"I suppose that's because of you."

Lin Fan said, walking faster, covering a thousand meters with each step, and soon arrived at a black pool. All the creatures that had given birth to demonic nature along the way were annihilated.

A figure sat cross-legged before the black pool, his body a mixture of demonic and human nature, as if waging some kind of war, eerily strange.

"It's good that he's not dead yet."

Lin Fan said.

This is the Great Song Emperor, who is being gradually transformed into a demon by the mysterious being in the Black Pool.
