Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Seeing the somber atmosphere on the table, Old Meng nodded in satisfaction.

While everything just now was indeed an act, his final fear and apprehension were genuine. Only those who have witnessed hell firsthand can truly understand its terror.

Meng Lao suddenly straightened his hunched body, looked around, his gaze intense, and said in a deep voice:

"In order to address the Blood Moon's aversion to high-level beings, after this personal intervention and joint deliberation by the Great Emperors, our next decision is to establish the City of Heavenly Suppression!"

Chapter 994 The Great Emperor's Meeting

In Su Liang's eyes, the truth buried by history began to slowly reveal a corner of the era to him.

Through this business expedition, they gained the support of the entire human race in the cultivation world.

They agreed and built the Zhen Tian City, and sent an emperor to each one to personally suppress the evil forces.

Those living in the city were also powerful figures from various sects of the cultivation world and all of humanity.

In these Zhen Tian City levels, Heavenly King level experts were practically worthless, giants were everywhere, and Supreme level experts were commonplace. Su Liang was filled with awe at such astonishing scenes.

Compared to the past, the current cultivation environment is much better than before. Once you reach the Divine Travel Realm, you no longer need to be bound by the Thirty-Six Shackles of Heaven and Earth as in later generations.

This was an era of flourishing spiritual practice, but also an era in which all sorts of oddballs emerged.

In Su Liang's perception, the mysterious aura of heaven and earth was so dense that it was truly visible to the naked eye. The spiritual energy in the cultivation world was surging, and natural treasures that used to take a hundred years to grow could now be grown in just a few decades.

In the past, cultivation was difficult, but now even ordinary people who regularly nourish themselves with large amounts of warming agents can develop bodies comparable to those of body-tempering experts in later generations.

As if the world sensed a crisis, various opportunities kept appearing, and the inheritance of ancient emperors emerged one after another. Even an unknown boy from a mountain village might stumble upon an ancient tomb, obtain a large amount of resources from it, and embark on a journey to dominate.

What excites the entire cultivation world the most is the reopening of the Path of the Great Emperor. As long as one successfully traverses this path, one can be cleansed of worldly dust and enter a new realm. However, the Path of the Great Emperor is perilous. Even the descendants of the Great Emperors from the ancient times face the risk of death. The reopening of the Path of the Great Emperor is both an opportunity and a curse for the entire cultivation world.

Under Su Liang's watchful gaze, Gu Jiang embarked on a path of true dominance over the entire era in this perilous time. He left his mark in the dust, his Samsara Divine Power seemingly a heaven-reaching technique. In his hands, all opponents could only feel a violent and terrifying sense of oppression, turning into stepping stones for reincarnation amidst their unwilling gazes.

After the destruction of his sect, Gu Jiang cultivated like a madman, and his comprehension, talent, and other aspects were greatly improved.

Relying on his supernatural power of reincarnation, he severely beat the son of the Great Emperor and the youngest son of the Ancient Emperor, and finally became a candidate for the Great Emperor, truly becoming a figure that could attract the attention of the Great Emperors in that era.

After becoming a candidate for the Great Emperor, Gu Jiang joined a city called Zhentian City and became embroiled in endless battles. In the battles with the strange beasts, Gu Jiang's aura became increasingly overwhelming, and the Samsara Divine Power in his hands gradually became perfect.

After reaching the Supreme Realm of cultivation, he directly embarked on the path of the Great Emperor. It took him six years to successfully pass through it. When he reappeared, he had completely concealed himself, and his whole being seemed out of place in the world.

Looking at Gu Jiang, Su Liang's eyes narrowed. Gu Jiang now resembled the middle-aged man he had seen at the bottom of the Valley of Reincarnation by about 70-80%.

His once imposing aura and unfathomable supernatural powers of reincarnation could not be discerned in him. He seemed to have transformed into an ordinary person, leisurely hanging in the sky and flying slowly by. His eyes were filled with vicissitudes, and his divine robes were disheveled. He was no longer the dashing and frivolous man he once was.

Looking at Gu Jiang like this, even Su Liang, who had watched him grow up, felt a sense of unfamiliarity. There was no going back, or rather, from that day on, the senior brother of the Yin-Yang Sect had already died, and the one who was alive now was just Gu Jiang, who was called the Reincarnation Emperor.

A familiar, gentle woman appeared on the horizon, blocking Gu Jiang's path. Beneath her beautiful face, one could vaguely see the charm and grace she had possessed in her youth. Su Liang recognized her as the same pretty woman who had followed Gu Jiang back then, though time had passed and she had grown from a girl into a woman.

It's unclear what the two discussed, but under the woman's firm stance, Gu Jiang was eventually pulled away.

News of Emperor Gu Jiangcheng quickly spread throughout the oppressive cultivation world. Now, the entire cultivation world is practically on high alert. The infighting and backstabbing of the past are nowhere to be seen. Just facing the oppression of the Blood Moon, the number of deaths every day is countless.

If the entire world hadn't changed and cultivation hadn't become easier, the number of Divine Travel Realm experts who died in the last few years alone would have been enough to wear down the high-level combat power of the cultivation world.

The Blood Moon is like the Sword of Damocles, hanging high above the cultivation world. If one is careless and slackens even for a moment, one will face annihilation.

In recent years, news about Emperor Gu Jiangcheng has been the best they have heard, giving more cultivators hope and allowing more geniuses to embark on the path to becoming emperors.

But the result was predictable: they were not true prodigies like Gu Jiang. Even the most invincible young emperors of their generation faced a perilous path to becoming emperors.

A large number of prodigies perished in the battle, and on the battlefield outside, they did not receive the much-anticipated support of the Great Emperors. In fact, they lost a large number of high-end combatants, and the battle situation became increasingly precarious.

The blood moon had now swelled to more than a thousand times its original size. Hanging high in the sky, it dyed everything it illuminated crimson, and the cracks around it grew ever larger.

The terrifying screams emanating from within were heard by almost everyone in the cultivation world. Many cultivators, even those at the giant level, who were constantly subjected to this kind of mental attack had self-destructed because of it.

As for their greatest enemy, the alien beasts, Blood Moon can not only transform humans, but also animals. In fact, the alien beasts transformed from animals are even more powerful than humans themselves.

Under this assimilation, humanity is essentially a cycle of consumption, with nothing being produced and nothing being consumed. If it weren't for early...

Thus, Zhen Tian City was established, and many emperors also took action. Only when the entire human race of an entire plane was mobilized did the situation not collapse in an overwhelming manner.

However, this does not mean that the situation is good. Even if the human race has not been defeated, it is no different from them. Apart from Zhentian City and the cities nearby, the other areas have long been turned into a paradise for alien beasts. Blood moons hang high, black mist chills the bones, the earth collapses and cracks, and scars are everywhere. It is no longer a place where humans can live.

The former world's overlord is now confined to a single prefecture, a prefecture won with the blood of his comrades.

Faced with this situation, the human race convened the Great Emperor Conference. What exactly was said and discussed at this conference remains unknown even to Su Liang.

Chapter 995 The Last Era

The land before his eyes was riddled with ravines, shrouded in ominous black mist, and roamed with herds of strange beasts. The humans, who were once the overlords of the cultivation world, had long since retreated to a single prefecture. Every day, countless people died, and every day, some went mad and crawled on the ground, tearing at their former companions.

In the sky, the bright sun had long since disappeared, leaving only a strange blood moon floating in the air. It was clearly just a moon, yet it seemed to emanate a mocking aura. What exactly was it? Over the years, even numerous emperors had failed to fully investigate it.

Su Liang imprinted everything he saw into his mind, and his need for strength became even more urgent. Suddenly, he heard the words of several haggard guards beside him.

"I heard that the Great Emperors are going to hold a meeting in the city of the Reincarnation Great Emperor Gu Jiang."

"Sigh, I hope this time it will bring good news. I'm almost at my limit. I'm about to go to the Celestial Bureau for testing. I'm not dead, I'm afraid of dying meaninglessly! What the hell is this damned Blood Moon?!"

"Really... Let's talk to the next shift and ask them to switch us..."

"...Thank you!"

As the two figures receded into the distance, Su Liang remained silent, knowing that after this, two more 'warriors' would likely disappear from the world.

But he was ultimately not a part of this era, nor could he interfere with it. Even if he wanted to help, he was powerless to do so.

"The Great Emperor's Council? This era is completely unrecorded in later generations; even in the few ancient books that do exist, descriptions of this era are extremely scarce."

Why did all the Great Emperors disappear? Why did Heaven and Earth impose shackles on future cultivators? Why did the Blood Moon vanish? These questions will likely be answered in this Great Emperors' Conference.

Su Liang murmured to himself, his mind sharp, and quickly listed out the key points of this meeting.

Su Liang stood quietly in place, waiting to move on to the next point in time. Before long, the familiar darkness enveloped Su Liang's vision.

When he came to his senses again, Su Liang's expression darkened, and his pupils shrank. It was not the Emperor's meeting he had expected.

He returned to the familiar ancient battlefield, where yellow sand filled the sky, smoke billowed, and the air was thick with the stench of blood, so strong it was almost tangible.

Before Su Liang's eyes, the familiar battlefield was still the same one. In a magnificent, towering city, the sea of ​​corpses and blood had now become a reality. Flying swords slashed through the sky, launching indiscriminate attacks on the terrifying beasts in front of him.

Various strange beasts roared and tore at the living creatures in front of them, causing blood to flow constantly, almost staining the entire city.

Su Liang frowned, filled with doubt. If the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation really wanted to tell him the whole truth, then why did he disappear at the most crucial moment?

What exactly happened in the middle, and the number of people involved, is currently unknown. The vast battlefield before him is probably the final battle of the ancient battlefield in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"boom!"

After wiping out the endless horde of strange beasts in front of him with a single palm strike, Gu Jiang, with a cold expression, traversed the battlefield like lightning, stepping through the void, without displaying any imposing aura.

But wherever he flew, the strange beasts all stopped in their tracks, eventually turning into pools of blood in a deathly silence, while the human elites who had peacefully fought against him were greatly invigorated, and their injuries disappeared in an instant.

This strange power made Su Liang's heart tremble, but he couldn't discern much of the power being released from it.

Through its essence, Su Liang saw the mystery of reincarnation, the convergence of forces such as life and death, yin and yang, and the eight trigrams, which formed the cycle of reincarnation.

Although it wasn't as terrifying as the legendary hell of reincarnation, Su Liang could still discern its ferocity.

Gu Jiang's figure moved like a shooting star around the city. Coincidentally, Gu Jiang was heading in Su Liang's direction at this moment.

Su Liang looked at Gu Jiang's calm expression. In this strange cycle of spring, he had tried to make others discover his existence through certain actions, but all of them ended in failure.

But this time, Su Liang didn't expect that he had miscalculated.

"Junior brother?"

Gu Jiang flew in the air with an indifferent expression, and arrived beside Su Liang several times.

After traveling ten miles, I suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation.

This made Gu Jiang's brow twitch. You see, ever since he achieved the Emperor Realm, his cultivation has become extraordinary. To evoke his heart palpitations, it's practically impossible unless you're a Great Emperor of the same level.

Suddenly recalling the meeting in the city, Gu Jiang's expression hardened. Following her intuition, she flew accurately to Su Liang's side. A quick scan revealed a vast expanse of tens of thousands of miles, but she still found nothing.

Gu Jiang's expression was solemn. Without hesitation, he activated the Reincarnation Disc within his body. The Reincarnation Disc slowly rotated within him, and the vast and boundless Reincarnation Qi transformed into the power of countless beings in all their forms, sweeping across this world. In Gu Jiang's eyes, the yin-yang two-colored pupils that Su Liang recognized appeared.

At this moment, time stood still within a radius of several miles around Gu Jiang. Gu Jiang had single-handedly frozen the space and time within the surrounding trees.

After activating his Yin-Yang dual-colored pupils, Gu Jiang's eyes were filled with chaos. In just one glance, he saw a blurry figure before him, transcending time and space. The enormous wheel in his heart, symbolizing the myriad aspects of life and the cycle of all things in the world, began to tremble violently.

As the sealed memories were broken, Gu Jiang subconsciously called out "Junior Brother".

After he finished speaking, not only Su Liang was stunned, but even Gu Jiang himself stood there dumbfounded. The dignified Emperor seemed to be at a loss for words at this moment.

A hazy, chaotic mist swirled in Gu Jiang's eyes. With his cultivation reaching the level of a Great Emperor, and aided by the Wheel of Reincarnation, Gu Jiang instantly understood everything and even glimpsed a glimpse of the future through it.

That white robe and the peerless figure that stood out from the crowd came into view. On that person, Gu Jiang saw almost countless powers such as reincarnation, divine might, and heavenly glory. Each of them was enough to support the foundation of a great emperor, but now they were all being used obediently by him.

Gu Jiang was shocked and wanted to see more.

A faint voice, like the mighty power of the heavens, overwhelmed everything below, penetrating through this sliver of spacetime and shocking Gu Jiang from afar.

"Oh? I see. Interesting!"

Chapter 996 The Mystery of Reincarnation

After calming the chaotic spiritual energy within his body, Gu Jiang opened his eyes and said with a wry smile, "So that's how it is. I never thought such a thing existed in the world?"

They spoke as if they were on the same wavelength as the mysterious man, but their understanding of each other was completely different.

Looking at Gu Jiang, Su Liang frowned. This was the first time he had been observed in this space-time.

But if the person observed is Gu Jiang, then he is not surprised at all.

In terms of direct combat ability, Gu Jiang's Reincarnation might not be that strong, but in terms of unpredictability, Su Liang believes that no one in the current cultivation world can compare to the Reincarnation Ancient Emperor Gu Jiang.

Su Liang opened his mouth as if to ask something, but Gu Jiang interrupted him directly, shaking her head.

"I cannot speak, I cannot ask. Although I have understood most things, since I am not letting you know after my death, there must be a reason for it. I cannot understand his actions, it's just that we are not on the same wavelength at all. But I can understand why he sent you here."

At this point, Gu Jiang said seriously:

"Compared to the disasters of this era, you have already seen many. Witnessing to this day, you have also seen that our human race has been helpless in the face of such strange phenomena. If future generations do not know about the Blood Moon, the truth of this era will be revealed."

That would prove we succeeded, but if there's not even a single record of it, then if you ask me, I actually wouldn't know either, because by then I'd probably already be buried in my grave.

Su Liang's attention immediately focused on the plan Gu Jiang mentioned. Without any guesswork, he knew that this plan would be the main answer to most of the questions that would remain unanswered in later generations.

But since Gu Jiang, the ancient emperor of reincarnation, had refused, he had no power to force others to say it, and Su Liang was quite helpless about this.

Gu Jiang laughed and said, "I know you are very dissatisfied. After all, you brought someone here, looked at most of them, and then got stuck at the most crucial point. That is indeed quite annoying. But after all, it involves the mysteries of time. Reincarnation is ultimately a part of time. The fact that you were sent here must be due to your special nature."

Gu Jiang's eyes were sharp and piercing, their chaotic yin and yang light fixed intently on Su Liang.

He sensed a hint of mystery, but he didn't see through it completely. With his strength, even if a supreme being were here, he could see through it completely at a glance through reincarnation.
