Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

"The royal corpse! That's the corpse of an ancient emperor!"

"Heavens! The Chaos Emperor brought back a royal corpse from the Path to Immortality!"

"Which emperor perished on the path to immortality?"

"The aura of Yin... it's the Great Dao of Yin! Could it be...?"

The universe was in complete upheaval, and all living beings were stunned into silence, their hearts filled with turmoil as they stared at the floating corpse.

In the various forbidden zones, the divine senses of the supreme beings within those zones fluctuated violently.

"The Taiyin Human Emperor is the royal body of Taiyin!"

"I never imagined that Chaos would intrude into the Immortal Path just to retrieve Taiyin's corpse!"

"What exactly happened on the path to immortality back then? Even with the power of Taiyin, it still..."

"I sensed a familiar yet unsettling aura emanating from this mutilated corpse... It reminds me of a being that has long since vanished..."

"Impossible! That person has already been confirmed dead; he couldn't possibly still be alive!"

"Perhaps they are just similar traces of the Great Dao... after all, they have all reached the pinnacle."

Within the Taiyin Divine Sect, the blood of all disciples boiled, and the sacred power of Taiyin surged uncontrollably into the sky.

The old cult leader knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his aged face:

"The progenitor... the progenitor has returned..."

Since the fall of the Taiyin Emperor, this once glorious ancient sect has suffered many hardships, and things only improved after Jiang Hao rose to power.

They were overjoyed to see the Taiyin Emperor return.

Meanwhile, the Emperor's Seal in Jiang Hao's hand transformed into a streak of black light, flying towards the mutilated corpse and slowly circling it, emitting a low, mournful wail.

Just as the Emperor's Seal was about to touch the mutilated corpse, another unexpected event occurred!

In the vast universe, across countless star fields, especially those ancient human stars that were once illuminated and blessed by the Taiyin Emperor, faint yet pure strands of faith converge across time and space.

In the Big Dipper Starfield, and even in the wider world, the traces and marks left by the Taiyin Human Emperor in the past were also stirred by the aura of the remnant corpse and manifested.

Vast faith power, lingering traces of the Dao, the lament of the Human Emperor's Seal, the immortal imperial will within the mutilated corpses...

At that moment, a mysterious resonance occurred, and it all entered into the broken imperial body.

The remains burst forth with an unprecedented jet-black divine light, and the Great Dao of Yin swept across the universe, cold and majestic, as if freezing time and space.

In the light, a slightly illusory yet still tall and majestic figure slowly coalesced into form.

He was dressed in an ancient black imperial robe, his face blurred, except for his eyes, which were like two eternal, cold moons, deep and wise.

With a sense of having seen through the vicissitudes of time.

Taiyin Human Emperor!

Although it was just a fleeting, illusory image of remnant spirit formed from the remains of a corpse.

But that supreme demeanor, unique to the first emperor, was instantly perceived by all the spirits of the universe.

"I'm back……"

A sigh, seemingly from eternity ago, resounded in the hearts of every living being, filled with endless loneliness and resentment.

"Greetings, Emperor!"

Throughout the universe, countless human cultivators, regardless of their location or faction, were filled with surging emotions.

With tears welling up in their eyes, they all bowed down towards the Big Dipper and that illusory figure, their voices converging into a torrent that spanned the sea of ​​stars.

The Taiyin Human Emperor holds a special place in the hearts of the human race.

Even many powerful figures from other races lowered their proud heads.

The achievements of the Taiyin Human Emperor in suppressing the dark turmoil have long transcended racial boundaries.

Jiang Hao also looked solemn and cupped his hands in greeting to the illusory figure: "Junior Jiang Hao greets Senior Taiyin Human Emperor."

The illusory image of the Taiyin Emperor shifted slightly, its cold, moon-like eyes looking at Jiang Hao, revealing approval and satisfaction:

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities. It is a great fortune for the human race to have an emperor like you in future generations."

His gaze swept across the land of Beidou, over those lurking forbidden zones, and paused slightly, especially when it swept over a certain place in Beidou.

A cold killing intent and a hint of inquiry seemed to flash across the depths of his eyes, but in the end, he said nothing.

The illusory figure of the Taiyin Human Emperor looked at Jiang Hao again, his tone calm yet carrying a hint of entrustment:

"You and your fellow Daoist Sun have done very well. However, dealing with the forbidden zone of life involves many aspects and requires careful planning before taking action. You have your own path and your own way, so I will not say more. I only hope that you will protect our human race and ensure its continued existence."

Jiang Hao solemnly replied, "Rest assured, senior, I will remember this."

The illusory image of the Taiyin Human Emperor nodded, seemingly without regret.

He didn't linger any longer; his ethereal figure stepped away and left Beidou.

With one step, the Milky Way reversed, and he arrived at the ancient star of Ziwei.

He paused for a moment above the ancestral land of the Taiyin Divine Sect, raised his hand, and the Taiyin Human Emperor Seal, which had been circling the wailing corpses, flew into his hand.

He gently stroked the seal, as if it were an old friend.

"My old friend... I can no longer walk with you."

After saying this, he gently sent out the Emperor's Seal, which transformed into a stream of light and fell into the depths of the Taiyin Divine Sect, where it completely merged with its heritage.

"The progenitor!"

Throughout the Taiyin Divine Sect, the cries of grief shook the heavens. Was the return of the ancestor merely a pipe dream?

At that moment, a streak of light flew by at lightning speed.

"Buzz!"

On one side of the universe, a beam of cool moonlight tore through space and arrived swiftly.

A wondrous plant appeared, its entire body resembling a celestial jade carving, its branches and leaves flowing with the sacred power of the Yin, its main trunk like a dragon, its leaves like the moon, exuding the aura of an immortal elixir that soothes the soul.

Laurel Elixir of Immortality!

It came from the ancient star Kunlun across the sea of ​​stars, hovering in front of the phantom of the Moon Emperor. Its branches and leaves trembled slightly, emitting a hazy halo, as if it were grieving, or as if it were greeting its former master.

"Old friend..." The illusory figure of the Moon Emperor reached out and gently stroked the branches and leaves of the laurel tree.

"It's been a long time."

The laurel elixir of immortality shimmered with light, conveying a sense of longing and sorrow.

The Taiyin Emperor withdrew his hand, turned his gaze to Jiang Hao who was standing quietly to the side, and said to Yuegui:

"I am now a lingering remnant, my obsession is over, my path has ended. Following me will only bury you."

He pointed vaguely at Jiang Hao: "This contemporary Chaos Emperor has boundless potential and a bright future. Following him will bring you a better future."

The spiritual radiance of the laurel elixir of immortality turned towards Jiang Hao, swaying slightly.

It indeed sensed an aura as vast and unfathomable as the young emperor.

Its chaotic Daoist essence is unfathomable, and it even has a mysterious attraction to it that originates from the source of life.

After a moment's thought, it conveyed a wave of approval, its branches gently nodding towards Jiang Hao.

A hint of surprise and delight flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes.

He had not found any trace of the elixir of immortality on the ancient star, and thought that the time was not right. Unexpectedly, the remnant of the Taiyin Emperor appeared in the world and attracted it, and was willing to follow it.

This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

"I am deeply grateful for your kindness, senior. If Fellow Daoist Yuegui is willing to accompany me, I, Jiang, will certainly live up to your expectations."

Jiang Hao spoke solemnly to the illusory figure of the Taiyin Human Emperor, and also nodded slightly to the Moon Laurel Elixir of Immortality.

The illusory figure of the Taiyin Emperor seemed pleased and then spoke.

"Kunlun Ancient Star... is also an extraordinary place. It was extremely glorious in the mythical era and produced more than one existence that shook the universe. Its Dao traces are profound and its legacy lasts for eternity."

He mentioned this star with a hint of reminiscence and solemnity in his tone.
