I am the first emperor of the ancient times

Above the desolate land, mist swirls, and the barren plateau is filled with death.

An ominous aura permeated the sky, and the frigid permafrost was shrouded in eerie substances year-round, creating a deathly silence and oppressive atmosphere.

This place has remained unchanged since time immemorial; it is a land that inspires utter despair.

It has never changed since ancient times, extinguishing the flames of countless civilizations and turning countless universes into ruins.

Even the long river of time, passing through this place, will break and tremble.

At this very moment, at the very edge of the highest plateau in the deepest part of Eden, ancient musical scales resounded, sending chills down one's spine and shaking all things.

Then, the end of the land of calamity cracked open, and two figures appeared, emaciated and covered in black blood.

The bodies of these two figures were covered in rotting clothes, like lurking ghosts awakening from their slumber.

At the source of this ominous place, the two progenitors were born together, making no attempt to conceal their aura.

The earth trembled, accompanied by the rumbling of the plateau, as if everything was about to collapse.

The infinite Great Dao transformed into countless chains of Great Dao, but in an instant, they shattered into fragments, making the entire space-time unstable.

Their eyes were empty and lifeless, and black blood was constantly flowing from them.

But wherever their eyes fell, everything was withering, and the dark worlds around them were weeping.

All the dark creatures and all the strange races were utterly shocked; they trembled and kowtowed to the two figures.

Whether on this dark plateau or in other dark parts of the universe, these creatures instinctively prostrate themselves in worship.

Even beings at the highest level knelt in all directions, not daring to rise.

The deepest part of the land of Evil seems to be separated from the outside world by an ancient history, a place that no living being has been able to reach for countless years.

The ancient, chilling scales echoed continuously, like stone slabs rubbing together, like the universe colliding, stirring the hearts of all living beings.

"There are actually two progenitors. Why have they been revived?" the eerie supreme being whispered.

On that ancestral land, two figures stood, as if they had been standing at the edge of the plateau before the creation of the world.

Throughout countless ages, eight progenitors have been resurrected here, and now, two more progenitors have appeared.

Even they hadn't expected that the number of progenitors would be so large, even exceeding the extreme number of nine.

As the long years passed, the strange creatures only heard that eight progenitors lay dormant in the perilous land.

Even they hadn't expected that there would be two progenitors in this perilous land.

For a moment, all the strange creatures felt their scalps tingle and their faces were filled with disbelief.

Even they felt that the ancestral land was too unfathomable, and they never imagined that there would be so many ancestors.

Ten progenitors appeared one after another. They were surprised by the number of progenitors, but even more surprised by why the progenitors appeared.

Such a situation has never occurred before in history. Does this mean that an unspeakable upheaval is about to occur?

What caused all the progenitors to reappear in the world? Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor Ye killed the progenitors back then, making all the progenitors realize the threat?

“A change has occurred, and we must do everything in our power to eliminate it!” one of the strange progenitors said.

Its sound was like a thunderous heavenly roar, tearing apart the vast world beyond the plateau and causing the creatures of darkness to tremble!
variable?

Hearing the ancestor's words, even the most powerful beings in the clan felt a chill run down their spines, experiencing a profound unease. Their clan had existed for countless years, a testament to their enduring existence; for the ancestor to call it a variable, they were all wondering what had happened.

First of all, it is absolutely impossible that it was just Ye Tiandi alone. If it were just him alone, there would be no need for all the ancestors to appear in the world at the same time.

Could it be that the appearance of these progenitors together is related to the Desolate Emperor and the Great Emperor Haotian?

Perhaps only these two can be called variables, and can be regarded as threats by the ancestors.

Just as these strange and powerful individuals were pondering, their expressions suddenly changed, and their pupils contracted rapidly.

The reason for this was that they clearly saw a figure slowly walking towards them at the end of the plateau, standing side by side with these two strange ancestors.

Is this the ancestor who was killed?
The strange creatures' hearts pounded wildly; they never imagined that their fallen progenitor could be resurrected and return.

They stood frozen in place like wooden statues, their hearts filled with immense turmoil, finding it hard to believe what was happening before their eyes.

How can you believe that?

The strange creatures were dumbfounded, some even thinking they were seeing things.

The ancestor who was destroyed by the combined forces of the Immortal Emperor Haotian and the Heavenly Emperor Ye has actually been resurrected.

Moreover, even they only learned at this moment that this clan actually had ten ancestors.

Those are ten progenitors. If they were to emerge together, it would be enough to affect the stability of the past, present, and future, and shake the foundations of reality.

With ten progenitors, their clan is naturally invincible in the world!
“Now that we have discovered this, we should eradicate all traces of them and wipe them out of the annals of history!” another eerie progenitor declared.

They have fought from the oldest era to the present day, experiencing too many tragic and terrifying times, and are ruthless and merciless.

After one of the progenitors perished, they clearly sensed it and quickly deduced everything, knowing the many variables hidden behind it, and even deducing many details.

They were simply worried about unpredictable variables that might suddenly erupt in the future, dragging several of them into a catastrophe.

They had already glimpsed parts of the future in the hazy river of time; among them were even progenitors who could truly die, utterly wither and eternally disappear.

This is something they cannot tolerate. Now that they have discovered the truth, they have no choice but to take action. As long as they join forces, they will see through all the illusions and eliminate all variables.

Moreover, since the variables were already a threat, they naturally had to decisively join forces to break down all obstacles and not give these variables any chance.

Now that the slain progenitors have returned, it is time for them to settle this matter.

Upon hearing this, the many strange creatures on the plateau felt reassured.

The simultaneous emergence of the progenitors is unprecedented in history. It would be a waste of their talents, let alone to deal with certain variables, or even to sweep across all the great worlds.

After all, even if only one or two progenitors were to resurrect, it would be enough to destroy all civilizations and turn the heavens and the earth into ruins.

The next moment, the three progenitors opened their eyes at the same time. As their eyes opened and closed, the entire ancestral land trembled slightly, and many dark universes roared, with the stars being destroyed.

Immediately afterwards, the three eerie progenitors emerged from the end of the plateau and stepped out of their ancestral land.

Above the heavens and myriad realms, chaotic lightning continuously struck, causing all realms to tremble and blood-red whirlwinds to sweep across the world.

Within that blood-red whirlwind, black rain and ominous lightning fell.

Countless vast worlds gave rise to bizarre celestial phenomena, terrifying to the extreme, utterly horrifying. (End of Chapter)
