The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 230 The Myth Ends, History Turns a New Page

The Heavenly Gate shattered, the Immortal Path severed, the Supreme Being perished, all is vanity.

A grand event, a life of ascension to immortality, yet it ended in such a tragic way, leaving one heartbroken.

The once strongest mythical force, the unparalleled and forbidden Heavenly Court, fell apart in an instant.

There was internal strife and external enemies, but the root of everything was still the attainment of immortality.

"The Heavenly Court has collapsed, and the gods of all realms are in chaos. An era is about to come to an end." Wang Hongwu looked down at all of this. He had experienced the most glorious stage of the mythological era, and he had also witnessed the decline from prosperity to ruin, and the tragic end of an era.

They are passersby, participants, and even more importantly, driving forces involved in the process.

History was changed because of him, and it was also completed because of him.

"I feel like you're beyond my comprehension, brother. Is there really such a thing as reincarnation?" The Phoenix Maiden gazed at him, feeling that he was becoming more and more ethereal, as if he didn't belong to this era and would disappear at any moment.

She didn't understand about reincarnation, but if her brother said it existed, she would believe it; it must exist.

Wang Hongwu glanced at her, gently brushed the Phoenix Maiden's earlobe, and said, "Of course, we will meet again after countless ages, but that will probably be the end of another era."

"Brother, don't you want me anymore? I have great talent and can help you. I won't be a burden to you. Please don't abandon me, okay?" The Divine Phoenix Maiden was somewhat reluctant and gently tugged at his sleeve. Her head was lowered, and a kind of sorrow appeared and disappeared. Their reunion would be after countless ages. This was too tragic.

"Of course not." Wang Hongwu shook his head, took out the phoenix tree he had picked from the Immortal Realm fragment, and said, "I give this to you. The phoenix perches on the phoenix tree. Seeing this is like seeing you. It is like having me by your side. We will eventually meet again in the mortal world."

Having accepted the phoenix tree, the Phoenix Maiden understood that separation was inevitable. She then had a new goal: to live on, to live in this mortal world life after life, until her brother returned, and together they became immortals and went home.

"I'll help the Emperor one more time." Wang Hongwu looked at the Emperor who was wreaking havoc on Burial Sky Island, shook his head slightly, and looked towards the Primordial Ancient Mine, intending to kill the Lord of the Forbidden Zone there.

He had a premonition that he was about to leave this era.

Whoosh! In the next moment, the crimson-gold path stretched across the sky, piercing straight into the Primordial Forbidden Zone, startling the Supreme Beings lurking there. What did this mean? What was the Bright Venerable doing here? Did he intend to settle scores with them?
In an instant, the two supreme beings who had been watching the spectacle immediately became obedient, concealing their auras completely, as if they were playing dead.

"Youngster, you dare to barge in, you still won't let this go!" The Lord of the Ancient Mine was shocked and furious. He never expected that the Emperor and the Bright Lord would be so arrogant, daring to force their way into the forbidden zone and kill people!
"Get out here!" Wang Hongwu roared, slashing down with his Heavenly Will Blade, mercilessly cleaving the Ancient Mine Master, who had just been resurrected and sealed himself away, causing his Immortal Source to shatter and forcing him to reappear. Enraged, he unleashed his full power, swinging his palm print with such force that it nearly shattered the past and present, plunging everything into chaos and threatening to cease to exist.

Wang Hongwu was not afraid at all and directly confronted the attack head-on. He clenched his fist and unleashed a divine radiance. The two clashed and burst forth with boundless chaotic thunder. The aftershocks were even splitting the heavens and the earth. In an instant, the fist light exploded and the palm print was shattered, directly piercing through the arm and completely crushing it.

"How come this one is so strong too?" The Lord of the Ancient Mine kept coughing up blood. He showed signs of weakness as soon as they started fighting. Not only was he injured by the Emperor, but he was also inferior to Wang Hongwu. He was no match for him. At this moment, he took advantage of the terrain and mobilized the power of the entire Primordial Ancient Mine. He cast a magic seal, which was filled with Primordial Immortal Light, surrounded by all kinds of Great Dao, and interpreted the birth and death of the universe, intertwining into a black 'Netherworld Ancient Seal'.

Unfortunately, his resistance was futile. Wang Hongwu wanted to finish the battle quickly, so he directly summoned the Six Paths Wheel, which, together with the killing technique, evolved into the Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens. During the collision, various runes were annihilated, crushing the Ancient Mine Lord's Netherworld Seal and severing his protective Dao. His body was exposed, blood splattered, and Wang Hongwu cleaved him in two with the Six Paths Wheel.

He was capable of killing this creature on his own, and using the immortal artifact made it easy. He didn't want to waste any more time and launched a series of attacks. The Lord of the Ancient Mine screamed in agony. He couldn't escape. This enemy was different from any other formidable foe he had ever encountered. He was too powerful. He was even more severely injured when he was struck by the divine phoenix wings that Wang Hongwu had evolved.

"Having survived two eras in this place, do you think I've done nothing? If you want me dead, you won't have it easy either!" He roared, filled with resentment and despair. His body split open from the top of his head, his entire body disintegrating from his crown to his groin. He was cleaved in two, even his primordial spirit was about to perish.

But before his death, the Lord of the Ancient Mine cursed, using the array patterns he had mastered over the years to connect and unleash the power left over from the forbidden zone in the past. He even self-destructed the incomplete immortal array and near-immortal artifact, attempting to severely injure Mingzun.

"Idiot, even Xiaoyao's speed can't match mine, where do you get the confidence to mess with me?" However, a figure moved with incredible speed, bursting forth before he could fight to the death. Wang Hongwu unleashed his Myriad Dao Fist once more, endless Dao Fire outlining an arc, and an ancient millstone swept across, crushing him to pieces.

Faster than an Emperor?! The Lord of the Ancient Mine couldn't understand. On the verge of death, he couldn't utter a single word. This powerful figure, who had lived through two eras, was instantly annihilated, his body turning to ashes and his primordial spirit shattering into a rain of light, which then burned, with boundless Dao Fire sweeping across the universe.

The heaven and earth shook violently, the phenomenon was too shocking.

His path was also devoured by the Myriad Paths Fist, becoming one of its trajectories. His remnant god was enslaved by the Wheel of Life and Death, and his imprint was devoured by the Wheel of Reincarnation, leaving nothing behind.

On the other side, a tremendous tremor also came from Burial Sky Island. The Immortal Ascension Cauldron trembled and flew backward, encountering the bombardment of the entire forbidden zone's power. However, the Emperor Venerable still withstood it and killed the Lord of the Heavenly Island, thus ending the matter completely.

As a result, he suffered some injuries, and his gaze gradually became vacant.

After that, it started to rain, the sky was gloomy, reflecting the earth's lament.

The Emperor raised his head, letting the raindrops fall on his face, and slowly closed his eyes.

Is this rain seeing him off?
In the end, he returned to Earth.

This is his hometown, and also the ancient place where he will keep himself buried.

Mount Tai, he has set foot here once again. He was born here, attained enlightenment here, lived here in his second life, and now he will be buried here.

"You've arrived." The Emperor sat cross-legged atop Mount Tai, looking down into the void beside him. Wang Hongwu had arrived.

The two first met on Earth, but little did they know that their last meeting would also be here.

"The matter of reincarnation is deeply intertwined with me. I cannot predict what will happen in the future. Perhaps the Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Power can help me resolve this calamity." The Emperor murmured. He was too badly injured and was also being eroded by matter. A life-and-death rebirth was inevitable.

Wang Hongwu pondered for a moment, then looked at the Immortal Palace and said, "The millstone of the cycle of reincarnation can neutralize this substance. You can give it a try."

“That road must not be opened again. We know our own situation. If I go there, given my current state, I probably won’t choose to eliminate these substances; I’ll only choose to absorb more. That would be a disaster.”

"At least for now, I can still control myself. I can use the Heavenly Tribulation Transcending Technique to achieve Nirvana, turn misfortune into blessing, and take another step forward to live a new life. That's enough." The Emperor shook his head; he also had his own considerations.

At the same time, with a wave of his hand, he gave the power of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill extracted from the body of the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation to the Venerable Ming. This was his final gift.

Seeing this, Wang Hongwu didn't say much, but advised, "The Heavenly Court has collapsed, and it's probably difficult for Chuanying to protect it on his own."

"When people's hearts are scattered, they are no longer of any use. Let it go. Let it collapse as it may. As long as I am here, it can be rebuilt at any time."

"Within the chaos, there is also a celestial source I discovered before. You are related to reincarnation, so you may not need it, but the Divine Phoenix Maiden can use it. Seal yourself there, avoid this life, and you can achieve enlightenment in the future." The Emperor shook his head, no longer caring about this. The changes on the path to immortality had made him realize many things, and his views had also changed. Even the survival of the Heavenly Court was no longer important to him.

Gradually, his breath grew weaker and weaker, and his voice became calmer. "My Lord, at this moment, I actually start to hope for that gamble. If there really is reincarnation, so be it."

See you again after eternity.

See you in eternity.

Wang Hongwu paused, quietly bidding farewell to the emperor, and also to this era.

The Emperor slowly closed his eyes. Heaven felt it, and the universe wailed. Amid the wailing of the Heavenly Court's subjects, various strange phenomena arose with the sounds of the heavens, like the beating of divine drums or the mournful tolling of a funeral bell, shaking the nine heavens and ten earths.

Meanwhile, all the majestic mountains on Earth were shaking as if they were about to collapse, and various brilliant ancient runes and patterns were emanating from their bodies, resonating throughout the mountains and valleys.

The heavenly drum, the funeral bell, the mournful sounds of all living beings—all these intertwine, creating a scene both mysterious and desolate.

The Emperor buried himself; his heart was almost dead, and he chose Nirvana.

Wang Hongwu sighed softly, recalling the words of the woman from the ruins: "Aren't the witnesses of history also part of history?"
"Observe the myriad phenomena of the mortal world, the changing times, the turbulent seas, the rise of hegemons, and the dazzling starry sky."

As time goes by and years change, the world transforms, but time remains eternal.

Looking at the universe and the world around us, we see the cycle of rise and fall, and the eternal silence of all things.

"The path to immortality is a desolate dream; the azure sea and sky have withered, thirty emperors have ruled for eternity, and countless sages have vanished into dust."

Amidst the desolate sounds, he personally played the funeral dirge of the mythical era, witnessing the end of its glorious glory in the mournful response.

Everything was buried.

With the Emperor's silence, all was calm.

The age of mythology has come to an end!

When everything calmed down, the war on the path to immortality was over, the turmoil of the supreme realm was gone, the blood clouds that had shrouded the universe gradually dissipated, the darkness was driven away, and the dawn was revealed.

The most terrible bloody chaos and calamity in history came to an end. The time was surprisingly short. Thanks to the joint efforts of the Mingzun and Dizun, no dark turmoil occurred, which was the greatest blessing.

Since that day, most of the self-sealed supreme beings in the universe have been killed, and even in the depths of the Primordial Ancient Mine and Burial Sky Island, there are only a handful left.

However, due to the excitement surrounding the Immortal Path, many powerful clans suffered heavy losses. They chose to recuperate and record everything that happened at the end of this era.

"Emperor, is he dead?" The Celestial Venerable of Longevity gazed at Earth with a complex expression. In the end, he left the Underworld and returned to the Immortal Mausoleum, where he sealed himself away.

On Burial Sky Island, a flash of light appeared, and Xiaoyao emerged from the remains of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone. His gaze was eerie, and he obtained the longevity method from the ancient times from him.

It can merge with the primordial spirit of others and possess their physical bodies, which perfectly matches the special bloodline and physique he needed before.

"Hmph, I will live on, life after life." The Carefree Celestial Venerable sneered. The Emperor was dead, but he lived on; that was the greatest victory.

Having acquired this secret technique, he chose to seal himself away, waiting for someone worthy of his possession to appear. That person's path, if not similar, should at least have some connection.

Only the King of Hell sighed silently in the underworld. The great battle had ended in such an unexpected way.

This battle shattered his confidence in the imperial path.

After bidding farewell to the Emperor, Wang Hongwu once again traveled with the Divine Phoenix Maiden. The two sat cross-legged on a phoenix tree, drifting on the edge of the universe, creating heaven and earth in the chaos. Following the mysterious trajectory, he found the location of the Heavenly Land.

But here, there was no passage, only a grave, and next to the grave was a large pit shaped like a bell that once existed here. There was also a claw mark next to it, left by some unknown creature.

As Wang Hongwu approached, he sensed something. The wheel inside his body became illusory, as if it had disappeared. A familiar feeling welled up in his heart. There were no bones in the grave, only a line of inscriptions and six broken wheel pieces!
The future has no beginning, the past has no end; reincarnation has no end, I will cross the future!
That line of text conveyed a vast and profound meaning, spanning the cycle of birth and death and traversing the torrent of time. Wang Hongwu inexplicably felt that it was not left by one person, but by two.

Different artistic conceptions represent the beliefs of different people, but it can be imagined that the imprints left by two unparalleled powerhouses will last for eternity, even after the era ends.

"It is part of history. While I am changing history, I am also completing it."

He gained some insight, collected the six broken discs, and once again entered the chaos with the Divine Phoenix Maiden. Following the coordinates, they created the world and finally found the immortal source land left by the Emperor.

"This self-imposed seclusion means that when we meet again, it will be after ten thousand years." The Divine Phoenix Maiden sighed, somewhat reluctant, her arms embracing the phoenix tree as she gazed at Wang Hongwu.

Helpless, Wang Hongwu stayed with her for a while longer, until one day, the Six Paths Wheel trembled and his body gradually became illusory.

History has changed considerably since his arrival. Although the general end point has not changed, things have improved a lot, and everything is being salvaged and is getting better.

"Brother, are you about to enter the cycle of reincarnation? Is there really a cycle of reincarnation in Kunlun on Earth?" The Divine Phoenix Maiden secretly noted the peculiarities of Kunlun, deciding that if she couldn't wait for her brother, she would go there herself. Wang Hongwu took down a roulette wheel and said, "Take this. It's a token of reincarnation. We'll meet again after countless ages."

At this moment, he also felt a little lost, not knowing when they would meet again.

"Brother, you must wait for me, and you can only wait for me! No one can take you away from me." With the roulette wheel in hand, the Phoenix Maiden took advantage of his moment of despondency and suddenly pounced on him, giving him a quick kiss. She was about to plunge into the Immortal Source at the speed of a True Phoenix when a strong and powerful arm pulled her back.

"Silly girl, I am the fastest in the world." Wang Hongwu chuckled, pulled her into his arms, pressed himself against her, and kissed her eternally.

Heaven and earth were silent.

Finally, the Divine Phoenix Maiden sealed herself away and slumbered in the chaos.

"Let's go see Duan De." After waiting for a while longer and leaving a seal to ensure that other supreme beings would not discover it, Wang Hongwu left and came to the Chaotic Immortal Land where Cao Yusheng was sleeping, where he also left a corner of the roulette wheel.

There are traces he left behind, telling the old man what happened after he fell into a deep sleep, so that he won't be confused when he wakes up.

Afterwards, Wang Hongwu gathered the Heavenly Court's forces and arranged for them to reside in a star field. He left behind two roulette wheels, stating that the Heavenly Court would be rebuilt in the future and that he would return, asking them to wait for eternity.

In his final moments, he entered and exited the sun and moon, comprehending the mysteries of extreme yin and extreme yang. Finally, he stabilized his evolved extreme yang constitution, with the sun hanging in the sky, transcending all paths above. He called it the Haotian Body, an evolution completely opposite to the Chaos Body.

He extracted the excess physical essence and Yin energy, and protected them with the last two roulette wheels, leaving them in the moon.

After doing all this, history seemed to be completed. Wang Hongwu felt as if he had been freed from all shackles. His figure gradually became ethereal. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc in front of him trembled and opened a path, shaped like a wheel of reincarnation, drifting with the light of time and filled with the aura of ancient history. He slowly stepped into it.

Along the way, all sorts of strange sights and phenomena appeared. He saw the flowing river of time and also a magnificent future.

After some time, the Divine Phoenix Maiden was born, attained the status of Emperor, and her bloodline was elevated, making her power unprecedentedly terrifying.

After searching the universe, she discovered that her brother had indeed disappeared and entered the cycle of reincarnation. She then set her sights on the incomplete Primordial Mine and Burial Island, determined to settle scores with them!

With her extraordinary strength, the Divine Phoenix Maiden reforged the Heavenly Blade, sublimating it with five-colored immortal gold, and also found the immortal bell from back then.

In this life, a divine phoenix conquered the forbidden zones, wielding a sword to sever the imperial path, its immortal bell resounding through the ages, single-handedly annihilating the remaining four supreme beings, leaving the two forbidden zones empty.

She was driven mad by the blood of the Heavenly Venerable and refined the essence of the Imperial Path, all for the sake of surviving in this mortal world and waiting for her old friend to return.

In this very battle, the universe was shattered, everything was nearly destroyed, the sun, moon, and stars disappeared, and the two discs and the origin within the moon were also shaken and shifted. One disc, containing the origin, fell into the Yu Yuan of the Ziwei Star Region, while the other disc flew and fell into the depths of the universe.

After World War I, she ended the mythological era, created the ancient era, and no longer called herself a supreme being, but an emperor, and was known as the Immortal Emperor!

She personally founded an immortal divine dynasty and promoted three divine generals, naming them Biluo, Huangquan, and Wugui. Thus, she searched high and low, from the highest heavens to the deepest hells, but no one ever returned.

After one lifetime, the Divine Phoenix Maiden still did not wait for the Bright Lord. She chose to take the elixir of immortality and lived a new life.

Another thousand years have passed quietly.

She still didn't get to see Wang Hongwu.

In her later years in her second life, she came to Earth and set foot on the Kunlun Reincarnation Path.

It was here that Mingzun met with an accident, and it was from here that Dizun's path of transformation began.

The Divine Phoenix Maiden broke the seal, entered the cycle of reincarnation, and obtained some of the matter.

However, she did not act rashly, but instead studied the substance and, in the meantime, also comprehended the Six Paths Wheel left by Wang Hongwu.

Finally, she deciphered part of the mystery of reincarnation and thus lived a new life. After that, she became more and more convinced that reincarnation existed and that her brother would eventually return.

In this very lifetime, she encountered Cao Yusheng, who had emerged from the celestial realm, and relentlessly pursued him for an entire lifetime, killing him until he was buried alive once more.

Cao Yusheng was too embarrassed to fight back and only cared about protecting himself. As a result, he was almost beaten into a mentally impaired state and lived out his shortest life in a daze.

In her later years in this life, the Divine Phoenix felt she had gained some understanding of the matter of reincarnation and chose to refine it. For protection, she also used the incense and vow power accumulated over many lifetimes as an 'anchor' to stabilize her mind.

Finally, the transformation began.

At the very center of countless vows and hymns, a divine egg of fire is undergoing nirvana, and a sound like a heartbeat can be heard.

"This power is indeed strange. No wonder it could make even an emperor fall. If it weren't for the roulette wheel left by my brother, even I would have lost control. It's all that fatso's fault!"

A sound rang out from the firelight, like two voices blending together: one high-pitched and clear, the other somber and hoarse.

"All races worship me as a god, but immortality is difficult to attain in this world, and I cannot wait until you return. I must go to that point to be reborn and await the future. As for these dark aspects, let the power of all races' wishes be used to create a golden body to suppress them."

Whatever happens, even if it lasts until the end of time, I will live on in this mortal world, waiting for your return. I hope that reincarnation truly exists.

Then, the Divine Phoenix Maiden made her move, gathering her immense willpower to create a golden statue of faith. Its appearance was indistinct, but it resembled an emperor who ruled the world.

Then a stream of dark, corrupt blood flew out, pulling a pitch-black human figure out from the divine egg. It was baring its fangs and claws, extremely ferocious, but no matter how it resisted, it was useless and was still completely sealed inside the golden body of willpower.

A series of grand praises echoed, and the power of the vows grew stronger and stronger, converging and making the golden statue grow larger and larger, suppressing the fallen royal blood and the dark side.

But this golden body looks different from her; because Wanling does not know the real Immortal Emperor, and does not even know her gender. All records were destroyed in the war that ended the mythological era. Even the records related to Mingzun are gone. Only a few words have been passed down.

Therefore, the appearance of the golden statue of faith is what all spirits believe to be the appearance of the immortal emperor, a tall and mighty man.

After that, the Divine Phoenix Maiden researched the method of immortality, transforming the Dao Fruit into a celestial egg, infusing it with the bloodlines of the Fallen Blood Phoenix and the Five-Colored Divine Phoenix, to guard the mortal world in her place. Of course, this bloodline had been baptized through the cycle of reincarnation, otherwise there would have been great trouble.

As the transformations in the human world became increasingly difficult, she finally awaited the opening of a new path to immortality.

But when she reached the end, she was disappointed again, because it was still not her hometown, but this time she was unusually close to that strange world where longevity and abundant resources were available.

"The aura of an Emperor? He's not dead yet?"

Even more strangely, she sensed traces of the Emperor above and decided to enter.

Afterwards, an unexpected battle broke out, and with the barrier of the boundary, the wheel on her body fell down and entered the entrance of the Yinghuo Immortal Ascension Path.

In the end, the emperor passed away. She rose to power in the shortest time, illuminating the entire era, shining brightly for eternity, and inspiring awe and reverence in countless people.

No one knew that the Immortal Empress's growth and cultivation were not for immortality, but simply to wait for her brother to appear and return.

She was fixated on the memory of her brother, which never truly disappeared.

Later, she lived through countless lifetimes in the mortal world, with only one thought: not to become an immortal, but only to wait for you to return in this mortal realm!

Despite her immense power and dazzling brilliance, the time she cherished and found most unforgettable was spent with her brother. The Heavenly Princess, who was transformed from her Dao Fruit, looked exactly like her in her youth, waiting and wandering in the mortal world, just to wait for that person, so that he could recognize her at a glance.

"Now that you've gone to that world, from this day forward, I am the immortal... Emperor!"

After the Phoenix Maiden left, the Dark Body, possessing the Golden Body, emerged from the temple, descended upon the Undying Divine Dynasty, and began a reign, promoting five new Divine Generals to form the Eight Divine Generals.

During this period, Chuanying was born once. When he learned what had happened, he was filled with hatred and cried out to the sky.

"I don't believe it! How could His Excellency, whose strength is comparable to that of an immortal, have passed away on Earth? The Bright Venerable would not have disappeared from the cycle of reincarnation. I don't believe it!"

They must have left behind some contingency plan, whether it's a successor or an heir, I must find them.

The former number one general struggled to survive in this great world belonging to the Undying Divine Dynasty. He was hunted down by the eight generals and personally crippled several of them. If it weren't for the intervention of the opposing number one general, Ning Fei, these guys would all be dead.

But for some reason, the "Immortal Emperor" never attacked him. Perhaps he was wary of something. In the end, Chuan Ying chose to seal himself away, because he could not prove his Dao in this era and had no chance to restore the glory of the Heavenly Court. He could only lie low.

He firmly believed that the Emperor was not dead and that the Bright Lord would return.

And so we wait, life after life.

As time passed, the power of faith gradually waned, and the Immortal Dynasty began to decline. The strength of the second emperor also decreased, forcing him to lie low and plan. He made two preparations: first, to ambush the aging and declining Prophets and bathe in imperial blood to prolong their lives; second, to provoke conflicts in forbidden zones, trigger a divine war, and reap the benefits.

Taking advantage of the true immortal emperor's exploration of the immortal path, it made multiple preparations. Based on the immortal path left by Yinghuo, it set up a vast killing field, but there were parts of the true immortal path that were broken by the Divine Phoenix Maiden, as well as laws and substances left by strange worlds, which were enough to deceive people.

After this period of time, Duan De was revived once again. Looking at this unfamiliar world, he began his exploration.

For some reason, he always felt that he was looking for something, and would sometimes come to Earth to contemplate, sitting in the Kunlun Mountains.

"Am I waiting for someone? How strange." In the end, Duan De searched in the universe, carrying the wheel he had with him. He felt it was very important and always carried it with him until one day, he found the Lake of Reincarnation.

Here, he regained some of his memories and couldn't help but sigh, "Old Wang, you told me about reincarnation, but you're still nowhere to be found. This Reincarnation Lake has miraculous effects; perhaps it can help you."

As he finished speaking, he stored a portion of his memories as crystals and threw them into the coffin at the bottom of the lake. He also placed a roulette wheel inside, hoping to guide his deceased loved ones back.

After some time, Yama rose to power and, by chance, obtained the Six Paths Wheel that had been lost in the universe. He defeated the old Heavenly Court and took a piece of the wheel from them, thus attaining enlightenment and establishing his own Six Paths of Reincarnation, thus beginning a glorious era for the Underworld.

They ruled the universe, created the three thousand realms, and established the six paths of reincarnation.

In another life, the Sun Emperor rose to power, confronting the Underworld, sweeping across the three thousand realms of the Underworld, reversing the six paths of reincarnation, injuring the newly born Yama King, destroying the Underworld's arrangements, and seizing a roulette wheel.

In the final stage of his life, he sought a method for dealing with the underworld and found the divine pot and the scripture of salvation left behind by Lingbao Tianzun. He placed them in his palace inside the sun and then took a corner of the wheel back to the ancient sun religion, instructing his descendants to take good care of it and not to lose it.

Then, the war of the gods broke out. The Immortal Daoist used the path to immortality that the former emperor had left to create a scheme, forging a newly appeared path to immortality. He secretly instigated a great war in the forbidden zone of life, which destroyed the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and shattered the Human Emperor Seal. He collected the flesh and blood needed for Nirvana and began to transform, hiding deep within Mars.

Afterwards, ancient emperors such as Shencan Ridge, Xuehuang Mountain, and Huolin Cave successively ruled the world until the Battle Saint Emperor passed away at the end of the ancient era, and history entered a period of discontinuity.

After that, Ye Chunfeng emerged from Yu Yuan with a corner of the roulette wheel, and Wang Hongwu appeared, thus beginning a new cycle.

A roulette wheel connects the end of mythology with the entire ancient era, linking a piece of ancient history involving many emperors and heroes. From the height of the Heavenly Court to the present day, it has not ended. Many major historical events are related to it, inspiring endless contemplation.

Now, history has turned a new page.
