We agreed to go to Taishan Sect and you will pull the coffin for me.

Chapter 367 The Great Sacrifice Timeline
Throughout history, there have been very few eras that have been tabooed by the eerie plateau and personally taken action, such as the era above the heavens and the era in which Huangye resides.

"I wonder what the situation is like in the Boundary Sea and the myriad heavens now? Does the Shrouding the Heavens universe still have allies? Is Huang all alone now?"

Lu Heng silently calculated the current timeline.

The Upper Heaven was destroyed a long time ago, roughly during the reign of the Desolate Heaven Emperor. The span should be quite long, starting from the Corpse Immortal Emperor. As the first Immortal Emperor of that era, he was the undisputed guardian of all heavens and myriad realms. In order to protect all living beings, he single-handedly blocked the entrance to the Upper Heaven and was stained by the flowing dark true blood.

This means that something went wrong in the heavens at that time, otherwise, how could dark true blood have flowed out?

Furthermore, the resurrected Immortal Emperor of the Corpse later recalled that he had actually been targeted by strange beings long ago, who subtly influenced and gradually plotted against him. More than one old monster had worn him down, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to fall into darkness so easily and completely.

If the Corpse Immortal Emperor hadn't been corrupted too early, and had been given enough time, the source of the strangeness wouldn't have been able to be suppressed. Unfortunately, he encountered an era when the strangeness was most active and the ominousness was most fiercely resurfacing. (Sacred Ruins Chapter 1618: Filling the Pit with One's Own Body)
In that era, places like the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Immortal Realm, and the Otherworld were merely the aftermath of the Grand Sacrifice. The true place of the main sacrifice was above the Heavenly Realm. After the Desolate Heavenly Emperor stepped into the Heavenly Realm, he probably fought alongside the Heavenly Immortal Emperors.

During that grand sacrifice, several Celestial Emperors of the heavens perished, including the Pollen Emperor, and more than 80% of all living beings died. The Boundary Sea was also submerged, and there were hardly any True Immortals left.

Now, only two incomplete Immortal Emperors, Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai, and 20% of the living beings remain on the side of Heaven, hiding in a corner and barely surviving, trying to bring back a few fellow Daoists and the living beings of the world. In the Boundary Sea, only Butcher and two others remain. The Desolate Heaven Emperor is fighting a guerrilla war and is also trying his best to bring back the Pollen Emperor, hoping to find allies.

"In other words, the myriad worlds are currently only in the early stages of an era's revival, or perhaps in the middle stages?"

Lu Heng seemed to be deep in thought. The strange source left behind living beings not out of kindness, but like the Dark Sovereign of Shrouding the Heavens, to harvest the world at regular intervals. The premise was to leave seeds, wait for them to take root, sprout, and grow fat before slaughtering them.

The last grand festival was like this, and this time will be no exception.

The strange creatures may have already sensed the clues in the Shrouding the Heavens universe, but they were just a group of supreme beings who hadn't even reached the level of True Immortals, and they didn't bother to kill them.

The Grand Sacrifice has no fixed time; it depends on how far the highest beings in all the heavens and myriad realms have progressed and whether they have reached the standard of prosperity.

The grand sacrifice in the future of "Covering the Sky" was when Ye Fan and his two companions reached the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperors and were infinitely close to the time of the grand sacrifice. They learned the truth, which is why they were so desperate and had almost no hope for the future.

"Wait a minute, if this is how it's deduced, could the Emperor's fall into darkness also be something that strange beings planned and orchestrated beforehand?!"

Lu Heng's expression shifted unpredictably, because the script was just too similar: the first strongman of the Corpse Immortal Emperor Era, the first person to attempt and succeed in the Mortal Immortal Path after the Emperor God Myth Era had arrived.

His lips twitched; the strange practices on the plateau hadn't changed at all over the years.

Honestly, taking the number one expert in all the heavens and myriad realms as a dog is the most brilliant strategy. First, his luck is extraordinary. Once he falls, it means that his luck and the general trend will fall into a disadvantageous position. Second, he is extraordinary in himself. With such a big time advantage, it is a dimensional reduction attack on our world. He is almost invincible.

In fact, this method was used very skillfully in the past by the mysterious plateau, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But the myriad realms are not static; they are dynamic. No one can endure constant exploitation. Where there is oppression, there is resistance, like a pressure cooker—the more it is suppressed, the stronger the rebound. Thus, two unexpected events occurred in the last era. The Pollen Immortal Emperor above the heavens, in a sudden and devastating attack, plunged into the eerie plateau and perished there. Secondly, Huang, having just grown up and existed as an Immortal Emperor, already slew several beings of the same rank, and ultimately became a sacrificial offering, disappearing into the shadows.

There will be even more surprises in this era and the next.

Lu Heng pondered that the most urgent task was to break into the Immortal Realm and resolve the hidden dangers posed by the Emperor.

If even the immortals of this world are helpless against this and can only kill him, then he, who controls the two great buildings of the Eternal Immortal Court, can unleash boundless power far exceeding that of the Immortal Emperor, and could easily help the Emperor escape the darkness.

Don't forget, his return to Earth has greatly increased his influence on the Eternal Celestial Court. His ineffectiveness against the internal successors is of great help to the outside world. He is now practically on par with the Dao of Sacrifice.

Lu Heng was really looking forward to it. If the strange plateau noticed something was wrong with him and personally traced back his origins to glimpse the true form of the Eternal Immortal Court, how satisfying it would be to suffer a backlash from its passive defense mechanism.

Of course, he calmed himself down and knew he couldn't be impatient. He had to develop cautiously. The Eternal Celestial Court had many hidden dangers. The strange powers of both sides were the same. If the distorted program merged with the strange plateau, it would seize part of the power of the strange source, corrupt the Lord of the Three-Life Copper Coffin, and swallow up the Eternal Celestial Court, which would be a direct defeat.

Lu Heng only revealed a portion of this information, mentioning the timing of the grand sacrifice above the heavens.

Empress Ye Fan and the others were deep in thought, but then regained their confidence and whispered, "As the Heavenly Emperor, I shall suppress all enemies in the world."

They were all prodigies, invincible beings who emerged from the most brutal environments, the protagonists of an era. Knowing the road ahead, they were not afraid, but rather delighted. The road had no end, and there were realms above.

"In that case, we should not delay. We must repair the Immortal Realm as soon as possible and forge a complete Immortal Realm Great World so that this world can flourish and accumulate strength to fight against the strange phenomena."

Ye Fan's eyes were filled with boundless fighting spirit.

Lu Heng nodded. Actually, there was no such thing. Ye Fan was also preparing to enter the Immortal Realm. Many emperors and kings of the strange world had been waiting for a long time. Moreover, they had achieved the Red Dust Immortal and could not advance any further in the mortal world. They wanted to enter a higher level environment and undergo great battles to temper themselves.

Soon, the universe trembled, and news spread from the Ziwei Heavenly Court that the entire world was about to ascend to immortality.

Rumble!
Ye Fan broke the seal and summoned all the remaining powerful figures in the Heavenly Court. He was about to usher in a new era.

Decades later, when everything was ready, he stood atop the myriad paths, protecting a group of supreme experts as they ascended to the throne!
Ye Fan was already able to seal all paths and fight against the immortals formed from the elixir of immortality during the Heavenly Tribulation. Amidst the rumbling sounds, an immortal legend began.

The number of people who will attain enlightenment is not one or two, but a whole group, creating an unprecedented miracle that will shake the universe.

He protected all paths, synchronized their pulses, and ultimately enabled a group of people to successfully become emperors!

The emergence of so many great emperors truly shook the universe, ushering in an incomparably glorious era. Emperors rose up together, and all paths resounded, shaking the past, present, and future!
