I am the first emperor of the ancient times

Looking at the blood-stained tattered sleeve, Chu Feng and the others realized that this was something that had happened in the past, when the Empress left from here.

Through Ying Hao, they learned about some of the past of the ancient Heavenly Court and its several Heavenly Emperors.

Among them are Yao Yao's ancestors and the newly emerged Empress.

They didn't know what level the Heavenly Emperor had reached, but through the strange phenomenon just now, they knew that the Heavenly Emperor's strength was beyond imagination.

"The Empress is extraordinary. She has no special physique, yet she rose from humble beginnings," Ying Hao recounted.

He was recounting the Empress's past, telling stories of everything that had been hidden.

Seeing traces of an old friend once again, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Over the countless years, he had done enough, yet what was destined to happen still happened.

The Heavenly Court eventually became history, and many Heavenly Emperors disappeared without a trace.

Even someone as powerful as Ye Fan could only hide himself and look for possible opportunities after breaking through to the Sacrifice Dao.

The ruthless and incomparably handsome Ruthless and Wushi were also hunted down by the strange race and disappeared from the world, with only clues found in specific areas.

However, the tattered sleeve he discovered by chance also proved quite useful; using it as a guide, he could eventually find the Empress's whereabouts.

Hearing Ying Hao's words, Chu Feng and the others were shocked. The Empress's experience was so legendary, and she had grown to an unimaginable level.

Even someone as powerful as the Empress was being pursued by an unknown entity, which they could not understand.

Why was the invincible empress hunted down? And why did Yao Yao's ancestors disappear?
Why did the once glorious ancient Heavenly Court suddenly disappear? Everything seems to be hiding a great secret.

They were filled with doubts about everything, but they chose not to ask any questions.

In their view, there must be a reason why Ying Hao didn't tell them.

Perhaps only when they truly grow up will they be qualified to know all this, and only then will they know what lies hidden behind it all.

"The Yuan Clan has been wiped out. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Heavenly Court has regained its fame. You all must seize this opportunity!" Ying Hao said.

As he spoke, he pointed a finger, and Chu Feng and the others were sent back to the mortal realm.

He had Ye Qingxian destroy the Yuan Clan not only to avenge her, but also to use this opportunity to bring fame to the Heavenly Court.

Although he didn't take the Yuan Clan seriously, their strength in the mortal realm was indeed extraordinary.

If the Heavenly Court can destroy the Yuan Clan, it will inevitably be feared by all forces, which is an opportunity for further expansion.

In his plan, the Heavenly Court not only wanted to unify the Underworld, but also to regain its dominion over all the heavens and myriad realms.

Only in this way can the Heavenly Court attract the attention of the Strange Clan, and the Strange Clan will be deceived by Chu Feng and the others.

Now that everything is ready and the name of the Heavenly Court has been established once again, he no longer needs to intervene and can continue to leave it to Chu Feng's people.

Moreover, with Ye Qingxian overseeing the Heavenly Court, he doesn't need to worry about any problems there.

As for him, he naturally had other things to do. The ruthless man's remnant sleeve had appeared, and with the help of the remaining aura on it, he could also go and see another old friend.

As he pondered, the blood-stained white tattered sleeve ceased to flutter and fell into his hands.

With a thought, he used the remaining blood on the white tattered sleeve as a guide and immediately sensed an extremely familiar aura.

That aura seemed to exist across endless distances of time and space, both within and beyond the myriad realms, as if it did not exist within space and time.

The guidance of this aura was extremely subtle, undetectable even to a Celestial Emperor, but it was enough for him. The next moment, he took a step forward, traversing time and space, and disappeared into the myriad realms.

Then, before his eyes, an ancient bridge appeared and disappeared, suspended in the thick fog, as if he could not see the other side or the end.

The area above and below was deathly silent, utterly desolate, and the area beneath the lonely bridge was eerily dark, with an endless abyss.

It seems that countless outstanding individuals and geniuses are buried here, and the strongest person of an entire era fell here.

"It's actually here!" Ying Hao muttered to himself.

This ancient bridge is the Bridge of Life and Death, existing neither in space nor in time.

Since his appearance, part of the future of this world has changed.

But everything seemed to be preordained by cause and effect, and the ruthless man eventually stepped onto this bridge.

The Bridge of Life and Death is extremely mysterious, and even powerful beings at the Immortal Emperor level dare not venture deep into it.

Throughout history, countless geniuses and supreme experts have entered this realm, only to ultimately perish.

Even a powerful Immortal Emperor would have no hope of surviving the Bridge of Life and Death if they entered it.

But for him now, the Bridge of Life and Death no longer poses any threat. He took a step and stepped onto this lonely bridge that transcends time and space.

This bridge of life and death, suspended above the thick fog, has no end in sight and sends shivers down one's spine.

"Ding! Host detected to have arrived at the Bridge of Helplessness. Mission issued!"
Task 1: Explore the Bridge of Helplessness and stay there for more than three years. Reward: 12 drops of Ancestral Witch Blood Essence!

Task Two: Get away from the Bridge of Helplessness as quickly as possible while ensuring your own safety. Reward: The Thirty-Six Heavenly Techniques - Turning Stone into Gold!

Warning! Warning! The Bridge of Helplessness is fraught with unimaginable danger; mortals are forbidden to enter. Host, please choose carefully!

Upon hearing the system notification, Ying Hao's heart stirred. He wasn't surprised by the task assigned by the system.

The reason for this is that it is related to his past experiences.

Over the years, he had realized that anything related to that being on the path of sacrifice would trigger the system to issue missions.

For example, when he went to the River of Souls, the system mistook the River of Souls for the Yellow Springs; when he was in the Ancient City of Light, the system mistook the roulette wheel for the cycle of reincarnation; and when he went to the Ancient Underworld, the system mistook it for the Underworld.

No matter how the system admits its mistakes, as long as the system issues a task, it's always great news.

With that thought in mind, his gaze pierced through the thick fog, looking towards the end of the Bridge of Life and Death.

This bridge is quite special. Not only does it possess the aura of primordial death, but it is also related to that powerful figure on the path of sacrifice, making it impossible for him to understand.

He continued forward, taking the opportunity to observe the Bridge of Life and Death.

This bridge is related to the sacrificial path. Even though he has broken through the sacrificial path, there is still considerable fortune on the Bridge of Life and Death.

After a long while, a familiar scent wafted over, and a voice rang in his ears.

"Your Majesty, you are indeed well. After many years, Your Majesty's demeanor remains as magnificent as ever!"

At the end of the Bridge of Life and Death, a figure stood with his back to him, his white robes fluttering, his demeanor unparalleled – it was none other than the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Turning back, her black hair danced in the breeze. The Ruthless Great Emperor looked at Ying Hao, who had arrived, and a rare smile appeared on her usually icy face. (End of Chapter)
