The Great Black Hand

With the Supreme One praising her, her little mouth seemed to be covered with honey.

Who says that the ancient emperor must be proud and unruly?

That's just because they didn't receive enough beatings on their way to growing up.

After they have been hit several times, they will repent and simply pick up the things that they once regarded as rubbish.

Cultivation is not just about fighting and killing, it also involves dealing with the human relationships and worldly wisdom!

In fact, they had learned this principle without any guidance in their early years, and they demonstrated it vividly in certain things.

For example... when Wu Shi was walking his dog, he ignored all the restricted areas and remained silent.

"We wish we could serve Senior Dujie Tianzun and offer our humble help!" An ancient emperor was righteous and fearless, but suddenly changed the subject, "Unfortunately, we are old and disabled, and we can't even lift a weapon today..."

The Heavenly Lord of Tribulation stared at him deeply, and then smiled, "This matter is not a big difficulty."

"Since I have come to ask for your help, I will certainly not let your sacrifice be in vain."

"If that's the case, can I live with my conscience?"

He was so righteous.

If the Heavenly Lord of Tribulation dares to say it, the Supreme Lord of the Forbidden Zone will dare to believe it.

Although some people secretly complained, "I don't know who left behind the endless disasters of the corpse disaster in the mythological era..."

Of course, these people were sensible and did not rush to seek death.

Otherwise, the Lord of Tribulation would probably slap the guy who was talking nonsense to death, and then say with compassion - "These are all necessary sacrifices."

"Changsheng, I gave you some advice at the beginning. What are the results of your research?"

The Lord of Tribulation looked at the Lord of Eternal Life.

"Xiaoyao and I have gathered the wisdom of many people, but it is also very difficult." Changsheng Tianzun sighed, "Transforming the 'dead self' and the 'dao self', and forming the reincarnation seal in the past, this is too difficult. We are only getting some results now, and we are still a long way from success."

"This is still based on the contributions of some fellow Taoists..." Changsheng Tianzun said this and shook his head, "It's a pity that if Shi Huang was still alive, we would be able to relax a little."

"He has actually come a long way on this path. He can transform his 'Dao I' into his 'next life body' and convert it into combat power... With this tangible power, it will be easier to do something."

"Otherwise, facing the 'passing self' and the 'Tao self', trying to form the reincarnation seal is like catching the moon from the water or picking flowers from the mirror."

Changsheng Tianzun was frank about the hardships he had faced, but his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was hiding something else in mind.

Dujie Tianzun seemed not to notice and just smiled, "It's not bad that you can produce some results."

"Time is short, and it is difficult to achieve great results in a hurry."

"However, you can make good use of external things and not restrict your own thinking."

The Tribulation Heavenly Venerable smiled and said, "It is good to walk step by step on this road, but if things are urgent, you can also take a ride."

“I don’t know what you mean by ‘crossing the tribulation’…” Changsheng Tianzun’s pupils shrank slightly, and he knew that the real purpose was now revealed.

"The history of this world is infinitely long and vast. Tens of millions of years, hundreds of millions of years, are but a drop in the ocean. In this vast time, there were some of the most terrifying ghosts and gods, buried deep in the dust of time." The Tribulation Heavenly Venerable said slowly, "Now, the gates of hell are wide open, and I think it's time for them to crawl out."

"There is someone who may be able to solve your problem..."

"His name is...Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

Chapter 352: The righteous and awe-inspiring Emperor Changsheng, the evil ancestor Ye deserves his punishment!

Dujie Tianzun was kind-hearted and could not bear to see the Forbidden Zone Supremes working for him with their old and disabled bodies, so he pointed out a clear way for them to prolong their lives.

Otherwise, wouldn't he be a bastard who took advantage of other people's misfortunes?

For a man with a conscience like him, this is absolutely unacceptable.

The Lord of Tribulation told the warriors that in the depths of the virtual world, there was an ancient ghost god that crawled out from the years, called the "Six Paths of Reincarnation", who could solve their predicament.

Of course, Dujie Tianzun also said in advance that it would be better for them to be tactful, humble, respectful, and be prepared to risk their lives for others when they come to him for advice.

——To put it nicely, it means risking one’s life; to put it bluntly, it means being a dog.

But even so, most people don’t have the qualifications to be a dog!

The eyes of each supreme being flickered, and although their expressions were not very good, they still took note silently.

After "understanding" the secrets of the fairyland and knowing what kind of dangerous place it is, they have no choice but to adjust their life goals and prioritize prolonging their lives for the time being... Staying alive? That's not bad.

"Senior Minghuang, you are truly a man of great virtue!"

An ancient emperor sighed.

Although the world is deteriorating and people's hearts are no longer as they used to be, the fact that there are peerless figures like Dujie Tianzun to show them the way forward shows that the morals of this era can still be saved.

The torch of hope, burning in this dark age!

Dujie Tianzun accepted the praise calmly without feeling ashamed at all.

"You don't need to thank me..." He said with a smile, "I actually have something to ask of you."

Tianzun pointed at the universe and the stars, as if pointing at a history of time, "After all, you are the enlightened ones of this era. Different from those ghosts and gods who have been buried under the dust of time and even the heaven and earth have forgotten their traces, you will eventually have a place on the stage of this universe."

"What I need is your seat... One day, at a critical moment, you will be of great use and can lend me a helping hand."

"After this is accomplished, everyone can ascend to heaven and enjoy immortality!"

Although what Dujie Tianzun said was vague, it did not prevent the supreme masters in the forbidden area from filling in the blanks naturally.

——The Lord of Tribulation is so powerful, why would he need help from the old, weak and sick like them?

——Perhaps, it is only the major events concerning the life and death, disillusionment, and reversal of yin and yang in the universe!

There was a flicker in the eyes of the Supreme Being, and he felt that he had grasped something.

"Is it the Heaven's Heart Mark? Or is it a Heaven's Tribulation?"

However, regarding the details here, Dujie Tianzun was very mysterious and did not reveal much.

After briefly explaining some trivial matters, he left.

He left quietly, just as he came quietly, waving his sleeves without taking away a cloud.

But he left something behind after all.

It is hope, but also worry, and endless reverie.

"Changsheng, do you believe what Dujie said?"

Yun Gen whispered, this ancient supreme being who created the secret of the word "Xing" looked at Changsheng Tianzun and asked this question.

"Most of them believe it." Changsheng Tianzun said slowly, with a smile on his old face.

"After all, he is... the first mythical being."

Changsheng Tianzun said in a deep voice, "The five great secret realms are connected to form the Tao, which is what he defined."

"The method of the Samsara Seal was also passed down by him..."

"There are endless mysteries about him, which makes him different from the creatures of our time."

"So, no matter what secrets he holds, it is normal and reasonable."

"But there is another possibility."

The ancient celestial master's tone suddenly became inexplicable, "I have a doubt - is he really 'him' now?"

"Rather than a vehicle that was taken over by some ghost or god?"

After hearing this, many supreme beings who had gathered together were horrified and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"According to you... this is a killing trap?" Qilin Emperor said in a heavy voice, "To lure us deep into the virtual world and fall into the trap of the ancient ghosts and gods?"

“That’s right!” Emperor Wanlong looked serious. “According to the Great Tang Dynasty, the gates of hell have been breached, the ghosts and gods have revived, and our universe is on the verge of collapse and destruction.”

"But if that's the case, why is it still so... peaceful now?"

He expressed his doubts, which made people think deeply. "This world has a very long history. Even if the mythology, the ancient times, and the ancient times were combined into one, it would still be just a drop in the ocean compared to the vast history."

"The past history has been buried, but it doesn't mean it wasn't glorious and brilliant... In our era, heroes like Emperor Zun, Immortal, Heaven Devourer, and God Emperor were born, and they lived through life after life with incredible means. How can we be sure that there were no such people in the ancient era?"

"In such a long time, how many outstanding people have risen and left brilliant marks, and now they have become gods and are thinking about such weird ghosts and gods?"

“If even one of these monstrosities were to appear in the world, it would stir up endless storms, cause the universe to collapse, and leave all living things lying dead!”

"But... not yet!"

"So we can infer that they must be limited in their existence. Perhaps... they are lacking something that restricts their activities and behaviors. They need to be gradually released at the right time, in the right place, or under the right conditions!"

"In the end, yin and yang will be reversed, the human world will be destroyed, and the world will be turned into a ghost realm! And we may be one of the 'conditions'!"

The more Wanlong Huang thought about it, the more he felt that he was right, and his tone became more powerful.

"So what do we do?"

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's voice was as loud as the sound of iron and steel. "This is most likely a trap. Should we break in? Or not?"

"Do we have a choice?"

Changsheng Tianzun sighed, "Our bodies are about to fail!"

"The aura of decay has penetrated into the deepest part of the soul and origin... For some Taoist friends, even the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is of no use to them."

He raised his old arm, slowly clenched it into a fist, and looked at the faintly visible spots, which were the most direct evidence of aging.

"Time is like a sword that cuts down the proud..." Xiaoyao Tianzun sighed inexplicably, "I have stepped into the realm of time, but I am no match for the sword of time."

As he spoke, Yun Gen's eyes gradually deepened, and he chuckled, "So, even if this is a trap, what does it matter?"

"Even if I'm in a desperate situation, I will fight my way out!"

His eyes suddenly became intimidating, and he grinned, revealing his white teeth. "If you don't fight, how can you know the strength, the weakness, the life and death?"

"So-called ghosts and gods are nothing more than variations of the thoughts of gods... For someone like me, why should I be afraid of ordinary thoughts of gods?"

"It's the so-called immortal, the so-called immortal king...ha!"

"If it's a possession, I'm looking forward to it!"

Xiaoyao Tianzun smiled and said, "Let's compete with them in this field!"

"If I die, I will admit defeat; if I win, I will merge with a ghost god to see if I can help me be reborn!"

This Heavenly Lord had a demonic nature that made all the Supreme Lords present fearful and frowning.

It has to be said that Xiaoyao Tianzun is a monster, and the method he used to prolong his life was too weird and evil.

He made a move when a hero became an emperor and defeated him in the shortest time possible. He devoured and merged his soul, thereby escaping the shackles of lifespan of heaven and earth and living a new life!

Although as a price, he is no longer "pure"... perhaps, Xiaoyao Tianzun himself does not care about this.

This is a lunatic!

"Perhaps, we have another method that can help us test whether it is a trap or not."

Changsheng Tianzun looked at the silent masters, and suddenly said meaningfully, "Even, we can find out more information, such as the strength of the most powerful ghosts and gods..."

"Oh?" The Supremes looked at him, "Senior Changsheng, are you sure?"

"Of course I am sure." Changsheng said slowly.

“As far as I know, some fellow Taoists’ hands have never been stained with the blood of living beings, so they are very clean.” Changsheng Tianzun looked at Wanlong Emperor, Qilin Emperor and others with clear eyes. His gaze was so penetrating and oppressive that these ancient emperors avoided looking at him.

“They may have a way out. In this precarious era in the forbidden zone of life, there is a possibility of surrendering to the other side.” As Changsheng Tianzun finished speaking, the atmosphere in the field gradually changed, becoming solemn and murderous, and the seeds of doubt were taking root and sprouting.

The team seemed to split into two groups.

"Changsheng, what do you mean?" Xiaoyao Tianzun interrupted at this time, smiling, "I only kill emperors who have just achieved enlightenment, and I have not stained the blood of sentient beings. Do you want to explain this to me too?"

"It's nothing." Changsheng Tianzun just smiled, "Everyone is just trying to survive, what can be wrong? I won't blame or complain about anything."

To the surprise of Qilin Emperor and others, this Heavenly Lord downplayed the conflict, making the atmosphere much more relaxed.

"But I would like to suggest that some of you fellow Taoists...you should prepare a few more ways to escape, and never rely on just one thing for everything."

"If you surrender, you lose half of your money... Then you will really be at the mercy of others."

The sigh of Tianzun made some ancient emperors' eyes look deep, as if they were thinking deeply and considering.

“As for me, I don’t ask those Taoist friends who may want to surrender to do anything against their will…” Changsheng Tianzun said slowly, “I just hope that these Taoist friends, for the sake of our long-term neighbors and the safety of the entire universe, will do it once…”

"Just report!"

"Just retell what happened here truthfully."
