The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 183 Begins the Plot of Eternity: The Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor Infiltrates the Dark Side

The Emperor's grace is boundless.

No one dared to doubt the promise made by the Heavenly Emperor.

The old general knelt down with a thud and kowtowed:
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"

He was praying devoutly, while Xu He had already disappeared from the spot. Just as everyone was stunned, a vast divine thought swept across every corner of the universe.

The terrifying pressure made everyone tremble.

As Xu He's divine sense swept across the universe, he occasionally made his move, searching for drops of blood on the dilapidated battlefield and collapsed ruins.

At that moment, people suddenly realized what was happening and shouted:
"The Heavenly Emperor is searching for the blood of the divine generals, wanting to resurrect them!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is benevolent!"

"..."

For a long time before this, the Heavenly Court was always on the front line of the fight against the dark creatures. Many gods and generals perished. At first, many cultivators joined the Heavenly Court with great enthusiasm, but gradually, fewer and fewer people joined.

Humans have selfish desires and want to live longer, but the endless war makes many people hesitate to approach the Heavenly Court.

Now that the Heavenly Emperor has returned and there are measures to resurrect the Heavenly Court's generals, many people can already foresee that countless people will eagerly participate in the Heavenly Court after today.

Under Xu He's search, the remnants of the Heavenly Court's generals were found, and Xu He sent them all into the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Even though their cultivation level was far from reaching the threshold of becoming "seeds", Xu He's great power brought all of this to fruition.

During this protracted search, several Heavenly Gods who were barely clinging to life and on the verge of death were also found.

Xu He treated all those who had made contributions unfairly, elevating them all to the rank of True Immortal.

Only after completing everything did Xu He return to the Immortal Realm, where he unleashed his supreme power to reassemble the shattered Immortal Realm scattered throughout the myriad realms.

After doing all this, Xu He returned to the Heavenly Court to receive the worship and offerings of all races.

Of course, he also showered down endless radiance, providing opportunities and paths for cultivators in this world.

Originally, at his level of cultivation, he had lost interest in preaching, but seeing the Three Realms in ruins, he finally decided to preach.

This sermon truly impacted everyone.

Endless rays of light began to shimmer from the heavens, and boundless Daoist energy began to permeate, illuminating all the heavens.

At this moment, the Great Dao runes also condensed in the Heavenly Court, providing material for cultivators throughout the heavens to comprehend.

Even those who cannot personally visit the Heavenly Court, even the weakest of cultivators, can achieve breakthroughs under the influence of the boundless Daoist principles.

This sermon went on from the Secret Realm of the Sea of ​​Wheels to the Realm of the Immortal King.

Those cultivators who were not fortunate enough to enjoy the experience naturally retreated at the limit of their comprehension. In the final moments, Wushi, Qingdi, and Duan De could no longer sit still and came here to comprehend the secrets.

The sermon ended three months later.

Xu He knew that he didn't have much time left.

He needs to plan for eternity.

After the sermon ended, Xu He kept Emperor Wushi behind and secretly told him some things.

The two talked for a long time, but no one knew what had happened.

When Xu He reappeared, it was outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

This place remains a forbidden zone, desolate and uninhabited, mainly because the Ruthless Great Emperor dislikes being disturbed by others.

Xu He simply walked on the outer edge and buried something in the ground.

After that, he waited a moment.

Seeing that the Ruthless Emperor remained unmoved, Xu He no longer hesitated. He summoned the River of Time with a wave of his hand and stepped forward.

The Heavenly Emperor has once again embarked on his conquest.

This time, his figure disappeared very quickly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Ruthless Great Emperor appeared in the distance. She also raised her hand and summoned the River of Time, but Xu He's figure was no longer on the River of Time.

The Ruthless Great Emperor remained silent, and even with her mask that seemed to be both crying and laughing, one could see that she was somewhat annoyed.

Finally, she looked down at what Xu He had buried at her feet.

It was a flower, the "Immortal Emperor's Medicine" forged from Xu He's own essence and blood, which the ruthless man had rejected last time.

This time, Xu He also added many insights from the Immortal Emperors, enough to help the Ruthless Great Emperor avoid many detours on the path to becoming an Immortal King.

Although the aura was only revealed for a moment, it was still captured by the three Immortal Kings, including Wushi.

For some reason, they were somewhat envious.

……

Over the course of time, Xu He traveled for a long time before finally stopping at a certain place.

This is an ancient place.

This was also an era that plunged countless supreme beings in the forbidden zones into despair.

Because they witnessed firsthand that a Great Emperor-level cultivator lived for 100,000 years in reverse.

The passage of 100,000 years filled these supreme beings of the forbidden zone, each with a lifespan of over 10,000 years, with fear, and they even believed that he had ascended to immortality.

His strength was extraordinary, and his lifespan was long.

No one dared to test whether he had truly ascended to heaven.

That ancient emperor thus truly ruled the world and his power over the universe.

But on this very day, everything that had been peaceful was completely rewritten.

A mysterious aura was only revealed for a moment before the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm, seated on his throne, roared:

"Who dares to spy on me?"

His voice resonated, waking up all the dormant, slumbering supreme beings of the forbidden zones.

Inside the Primordial Ancient Mine, a Supreme Being who had been dormant for a long time asked curiously:
"These days... is there anyone who dares to provoke the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor?"

Another supreme being spoke softly:
"I woke up and this guy is still alive... Could he have really become an immortal?"

A voice echoed from the Sea of ​​Reincarnation:
"Isn't someone getting impatient and wanting to test the waters? Let's just wait and see."

One voice after another rang out, and without exception, they were all very curious about this person who dared to challenge the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm.

Inside the palace, the furious voice of the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm resounded once more:

"Why haven't you shown yourself yet, you scoundrel?"

The overwhelming and unparalleled imperial might was revealed, which was the extremely powerful battle strength of the Heavenly Emperor.

All living beings trembled at this moment, fearing that this was yet another calamity for all.

Only the supreme rulers of the restricted area are happy:

"The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm is enraged; it looks like a fight is about to break out!"

The supreme imperial might surged continuously, shaking the four seas and eight wastelands.

Just as the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones thought a great battle was about to begin, and that they could seize the opportunity to hunt down the True Dragon, the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor's dense blood aura suddenly contracted, and his domineering and unparalleled supreme imperial might also disappeared at that moment.

"This is... they're not fighting anymore?" A supreme being from a forbidden zone murmured, looking at the strange scene.

The other supreme beings also looked puzzled.

Logically speaking, the ancient emperor's anger must have been related to his reputation.

Why did you act so aggressively just now, but now you're so restrained?

The next moment, an even more powerful pressure than that of the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor swept over.

Even the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone must kneel down at this moment.

A supreme being from a forbidden zone struggled to stand up, but the next moment he coughed up blood. As a former emperor, he couldn't even straighten his back.

He said in a panic:

"What kind of being did the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm offend? This must be a true immortal!" "What on earth happened?!"

At this moment, the supreme rulers of the restricted area all lost their former majesty.

Everyone stared in horror at the palace where the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was located. There, a person was walking on the river. Perhaps due to the difference in strength, they could not see the person's face at all.

Inside the palace, Xu He finally stepped out of the long river of time.

Looking at the trembling Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, Xu He felt somewhat helpless.

When the River of Time arrived here, although he concealed his aura and did not want to be too conspicuous, the aura of the River of Time was still revealed.

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm also accurately grasped the mystery within, thus believing that someone was spying on him.

His awe-inspiring presence, which had dominated the universe for ten thousand years, made him fearless.

Unfortunately, Xu He nowadays doesn't allow anyone to speak loudly to him.

Inside the palace, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm looked at Xu He's figure and asked with some fear, "Who are you, senior?"

Such overwhelming pressure... it must be an immortal, absolutely an immortal!
Even above the immortals!
The emperor's majesty vanished at this moment. The opponent was simply too strong, so strong that the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor felt that he couldn't even compare to a hair on the opponent's head.

He then continued:

"We have no grudge against each other, please be merciful!"

Such terrified voices naturally reached the ears of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.

They originally thought it was some old monster who had been reborn, someone with formidable strength, but they never expected that this old monster was so powerful that even the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor had to bow his head and call him senior, begging him to show mercy.

Who exactly is this person?

Inside the palace, Xu He raised his hand and dispelled the oppressive aura.

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm finally breathed a sigh of relief, as the heavy weight on his chest was finally lifted.

From this action, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm could tell that the other party probably didn't have much ill intentions.

I realize that I was too abrupt just now.

"I didn't know you had the honor of visiting, senior. What brings you here?" the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm asked tentatively.

Xu He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor's ability to be flexible and adaptable.

He then spoke:

"Given your current state, you'll soon be forcibly entering the Immortal Realm, won't you?"

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was somewhat surprised. He was already in his twilight years and wanted to strive for immortality, but he had never mentioned this to anyone.

His lifespan has exceeded 100,000 years; no one else could possibly guess that accurately.

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was even more certain of the power of the senior before him, and immediately spoke:

"That's what I'm thinking. Is there something you've come to remind me of, senior?"

He composed himself, then asked with some doubt, "Could it be... that becoming an immortal is a hoax?"

"Or is it that I will encounter something on my path to immortality, and that is why you have come to save me from this predicament?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Otherwise, why would this senior suddenly appear?
Xu He was also somewhat surprised by the question posed by the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm.

If they keep guessing, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm will probably run out of guesses.

"Indeed, you will encounter unexpected events on your path to immortality." Xu He said calmly, acknowledging the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm's conjecture.

His conjecture was confirmed at this moment, and the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was extremely excited.

"I knew it, I knew it!"

"So many ancient emperors and celestial beings, so many peerless heroes, why did they all fall at the end of the path to immortality? So that's how it is!"

He had this question before about why no one could become an immortal, and now it has finally been answered.

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm bowed to Xu He with great excitement:

"Thank you so much, senior! Thank you so much, senior!"

"I'm not going down this path to immortality!"

He regretted his earlier outburst, calling Xu He a petty scoundrel, and was also grateful for the senior's magnanimity.

If I don't want to go on the path to immortality, I don't want to. With this senior in front of me, how could I not become an immortal?

Looking at the God Silkworm Ancient Emperor, who was laughing heartily and full of gratitude towards him, Xu He's expression became somewhat strange, and he was reluctant to speak.

After a moment's thought, Xu He finally spoke, interrupting the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm's joy.

"No, you must go on this path to immortality."

"I will follow your teachings, senior. I will definitely not... Ah?" The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm blinked, thinking he had misheard.

"This junior misheard. Please repeat it, senior," the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm asked tentatively.

Xu He coughed lightly: "I'm telling you, you have to go on this path to immortality."

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm's eyelids twitched violently: "Didn't you say there was danger?"

He really couldn't figure out what this senior was thinking.

There was also some fear that this senior would forcibly throw him onto the path to immortality.

In the end, he simply asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Xu He looked at the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm and said:

"Because you, in the future, are extremely important."

"The key?" the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm asked with doubt, "Please enlighten me, senior."

Xu He said with extreme seriousness:
“In the future, you will infiltrate the Dark Clan. I need you to pass on a message to them, a message that I can stir up the winds and clouds, so that they will cross the river of time to hunt me down.”

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was completely bewildered.

What Dark Clan?
What undercover?
Why would they travel across the river of time to hunt you down?
What exactly is all of this?
"May I ask, senior, what is the reason for doing this?" Although the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was puzzled and knew that too many questions would annoy people, he still tentatively asked.

Xu He's eyes seemed to reflect the vicissitudes of countless ages as he spoke:

"Because the greater the pressure I bear, the less pressure they bear."

"If there is any cause and effect, then let it be attributed to me, and I, the Emperor, will avenge it with all my might."

As Xu He's voice rang out, the River of Time reappeared, and a voice truly echoed from the depths of the myriad realms:
"All causes and effects have befallen me!"

Its sound was like a resounding bell, echoing through the ages.

Everyone felt the immense power, and even the supreme beings of the forbidden zones knelt down once more at this moment.

"Who...who are they?" The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm felt a splitting headache.

"Wu Shi, Ruthless Man, Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Venerable, Ye Fan, Shi Hao..." Xu He said several names in a row.

For the first few, you need to share the burden with them; for the latter two, you need to buy them time.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm murmured these names. Apart from the Tribulation Transcending Celestial Venerable, he had never heard of the others.

Also, what about the Tribulation-Transcending Celestial Venerable?

The one who ushered in the mythological era is still alive...

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm wanted to press further: "Senior, I still have..."

But Xu He stopped him.

"To ensure everything goes smoothly, you will only remember that you had such a mission." Xu He raised his finger and pointed to his forehead, causing him to lose consciousness and subtly altering his memory.

Having done all this, Xu He once again summoned the River of Time and embarked on his conquest once more.

Once the oppressive aura dissipated, all living beings in the heavens and earth finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The sudden turn of events was also etched into the memories of the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone.

Inside the palace, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm finally awoke after a long while, his eyes filled with confusion.
