I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 127 Ancient Times (Part Two)

Twenty years later.

Li Jun and Nuwa stood on the desolate Kunlun Hill, gazing at the sky above, as if they were waiting for something.

Over the past twenty years, various forces in the Great Wilderness have once again begun to integrate. Based on geographical location, in the southeast, northwest, and southwest, there have emerged forces with the potential to unify one side: the Immortal Dynasty and the Emperor.

The natural barrier of Buzhou Mountain blocks the central region, and in addition, numerous divine mountains and rivers divide the four wastelands. These divine mountains and rivers are not the divine mountains and rivers of the human world; most of them are transformed from terrifying and untamable demon gods, which cannot be crossed by mortal power.

Because of the terrain, it is difficult for the various wildernesses to be directly connected. Therefore, when the wildernesses compete for the position of Heavenly Emperor, each of the four wildernesses usually first competes to determine its own master, and then the masters of the four wildernesses compete for the position of Heavenly Emperor.

However, besides these, there are also some cultivators at sea. Although the Four Seas are far from the Great Wilderness, the islands and sacred mountains at sea are also enormous, and a huge number of people from the mountains and seas live and multiply there. Naturally, there are also a considerable number of cultivators in the mountains and seas, who have a very strong influence within the Great Wilderness.

In short, the situation in the Great Wilderness is gradually becoming clear, and soon a figure will emerge to contend for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor and go to Buzhou Mountain to open the Heavenly Gate.

Over the years, Li Jun and Nuwa have been searching for the shadow behind everything that was hidden, which is the source of the great calamity of heaven and earth.

Looking up at the sky, Nuwa spoke first.

"So he is your soul, or rather, your divine position, your Dao nature?"

"And what is standing in front of me now is actually a split of the attachment to good and evil, or rather, consciousness."

Nuwa said rather bluntly, "Looking at it this way, he seems more like an emperor, and you seem to be the one who was cut off."

Li Jun said, "It depends on the perspective. What exactly is being cultivated in spiritual practice? As a human being, I naturally hope that what transcends in the end is myself, not my so-called divine position or so-called Dao nature. Attachment to good and evil is an indispensable part of me."

Nuwa pressed further, "Then the other part is unnecessary?"

Li Jun said, "Of course it's necessary, but I need to be in control of it."

Nuwa understood Li Jun's attitude towards the imperial body and his other part of his soul. In fact, she thought so too. Only when he was completely integrated with the body could he be a complete Li Jun.

Finally, Nuwa raised her head and continued to look up at the high place.

Is it this time?

Li Jun closed his eyes, did some calculations with his fingers, and then put his hands down and said.

"Yes, now!"

Nuwa then asked, "Will the Queen Mother of the West interact with this world?"

Li Jun explained: "It means that the Queen Mother of the West will pass by this point in time and at this coordinate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jun heard the bluebird's call again.

He ended his conversation with Nuwa and looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly fixed on something.

Nuwa noticed this too, and looked up at the sky with Li Jun. However, Li Jun saw the bluebird and the Queen Mother of the West sitting on its back once again, while Nuwa could not see anything.

This time, the bluebird flew at an even faster speed. It quickly swept across the sky. At first, Li Jun saw the afterimages of different bluebirds at different times overlapping together, and finally one materialized and appeared in Li Jun's eyes.

Nuwa tried her best but couldn't see it, so she could only ask Li Jun.

"The Queen Mother of the West has arrived?"

Li Jun nodded and said, "Mm."

Nuwa asked him with some curiosity and even envy, "What exactly does it feel like to transcend?"

Li Jun spoke as he waited for the Queen Mother of the West to completely merge with this world.

"It's hard to imagine until you reach that point. It's like a fish can hardly understand the feeling of birds and humans. No matter how much you imagine people walking on land and flying in the sky while living in water, you're just sitting in a well and looking at the sky."

"Only when you leap out of the water, onto land, or fly into the sky do you understand that feeling of transcendence."

"It's not just about becoming stronger, but a change that comes from all the senses in every dimension."

Finally, when the Queen Mother of the West flew overhead on a bluebird, truly intersecting with this point in time...

Li Jun immediately asked, "Any changes in the future?"

Knowing that the Queen Mother of the West didn't have much time, he asked the crucial question right from the start.

The Queen Mother of the West said, "It's not certain yet; everything is changing, and anything is possible."

Li Jun said, "Did I do something wrong?"

The Queen Mother of the West said, "If we see the river of time flowing in a direction unfavorable to you, I will remind you."

Li Jun understood, and then he said, "I need the Azure Bird's double pupils. Only by using the Azure Bird's power can I restrain the Emperor's power."

Queen Mother of the West: "I am ready."

She reached out her hand and saw two beams of light appear out of thin air; they were a pair of eyes.

Li Jun obtained the key item: the Bluebird's double pupils.

The Queen Mother of the West's double pupils allowed Li Jun to continue existing in this ancient era even after losing his imperial body, a crucial element.

The double pupils of the Azure Bird are the key to what Li Jun and Nuwa need to do next; otherwise, with their current strength, they simply cannot contend with the power of the Emperor's Body.

Li Jun grasped the bluebird's double pupils, and only at this moment did his plan truly begin.
-
Western wilderness.

Compared to twenty years ago, Bai Hao has also undergone tremendous changes.

He is now the ruler of most of the Western Wilderness and is known as the White Emperor of the West.

In his youth, he traveled to the Eastern and Southern Wilderness to refine immortal artifacts and fuse his double pupils, to refine ghosts and gods to control demon gods, and to integrate laws to cultivate supernatural powers.

In his youth and middle age, he fought in the north and south for more than a decade, defeating various forces in the Western Wilderness that had risen to power due to obtaining immortal artifacts and double pupils, conquering one mountain and sea kingdom after another, and subduing a large number of immortals and gods.

Now, he finally resembles an emperor.

Having lost the impetuousness of his youth, he has become increasingly composed, but his desire to become the Heavenly Emperor remains unchanged, growing stronger day by day.

However, the path to vying for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor is not so easy.

This year, he once again crossed Buzhou Mountain to attack the Eastern and Southern Wilderness. When he was young, he did not think it was difficult to cross this mountain, but now he has crossed it again and again, only to be driven back again and again.

The two emperors of the Southern Wilderness and the Eastern Wilderness have kept him firmly in his place, preventing him from making any progress. His wish to become the Heavenly Emperor seems to be getting further and further away, becoming unattainable.

At this moment, he recalled the various legends about the Western Wilderness.

"The Fields of Su Guang!"

"Kunlun Mountains!"

"Emperor Jun!"

"The Queen Mother of the West and Nuwa."

Compared to other wildernesses, the legends of the Western Wilderness are the oldest and most mysterious.

This place was very special at least in the most ancient times. Although it has not produced a Heavenly Emperor for many generations now, it is considered a poor land in the eyes of the Eastern and Southern Wilderness.

But it is said that...

The earliest and most powerful ancient gods, such as the Heavenly Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, and Nuwa, all originated from the Western Wilderness, a land that holds the most powerful forces in the Great Wilderness.

Bai Hao naturally wanted to seek these powers to break through the current predicament.

If one's own strength is insufficient to solve a problem, one can only seek solutions from external sources.

then.

Bai Hao began searching throughout the Western Wilderness for legends of ancient times, seeking the descendants of the great gods in ancient myths.

However, on this land of mountains and seas, the oldest legends have been lost for too long. Every cycle of heaven and earth and the demise of the Heavenly Court seem to have erased much of the ancient history.

As the generations passed, many ancient legends were lost to time. Although immortals and gods could live forever, those ancient immortals and gods were long gone, and many records were erased.

After overcoming numerous hardships, Bai Hao finally found the legendary Su Guang Wilderness.

He believed himself to be blessed with good fortune and personally ventured into the vast wilderness of Su Guang to search for traces of Nuwa, but the legends about Nuwa had long since become blurred.

someone said.

Nuwa was said to be ten people, while some say she was only one person.

Some say that Nuwa once competed with the Heavenly Emperor for the throne, while others say that the Heavenly Emperor ascended to the throne and established the Heavenly Court with Nuwa's assistance.

Bai Hao found a ruin here, which recorded the ten gods of Nuwa's intestines, as well as the myth of Nuwa and the Heavenly Emperor fighting for the entire Great Wilderness. Bai Hao saw this lost ancient truth for the first time.

Bai Hao was extremely excited, feeling as if he had glimpsed the secrets of ancient times.

But what excited him even more was that he also found a part of the legacy left by Nuwa in this ruin.

“I really do have a destiny and good fortune on my side. Father really didn’t lie to me.”

Bai Hao received the inheritance and immediately accepted it without hesitation.

"Open the Heavenly Gate".

This cultivation method is called "Opening the Heavenly Gate," and it actually allows one to open a third eye between the eyebrows.

According to the book, this can open a third double pupil, giving one the power to control and refine a second kind of ghost god and demon god.

"There's such a method?"

Bai Hao was overjoyed and felt that the ancient gods were indeed extraordinary, which aroused his desire to pursue the power of the ancients even more.

Next, he found many ancient secrets, even ancient cultivation methods, but they were not ancient enough and were not very useful.

However, on this day, Bai Hao found several people who were said to be direct descendants of the ancient Ximu clan.

Through the other party, he calculated the location of Kunlun Hill.

He arrived at Kunlun Hill, but the entire Kunlun Hill had long been abandoned, with nothing left, or rather, everything that could be taken had been taken to the Heavenly Realm.

However, Bai Hao searched the entire area within tens of thousands of miles of Kunlun Hill and still found quite a few useful things.

At the same time, it also obtained a part of the inheritance of the ancient Ximu clan, and found some relics of many countries and mountain and sea kingdoms related to the Ximu clan here.

That evening.

A divine light appeared on the horizon, and Bai Hao was drawn to it. In an ancient mountain and sea kingdom that was being excavated, he found a pair of special eyes. Their birth was very peculiar, with a bluish-purple aura symbolizing good fortune.

"Double pupils?"

"What kind of double pupils are these?"

He looked into those eyes, and the moment he grasped them, Bai Hao saw many images.

In the scene, he saw his past and his future; he saw his own death and his own defeat.

But among those countless images, he also saw himself going to the summit of Buzhou Mountain, opening the Heavenly Gate, and becoming the Heavenly Emperor.

In that instant, he understood the power behind that eye.

"Seek good fortune and avoid misfortune."

"To know the cause and effect in advance."

Bai Hao was both excited and utterly horrified; he had never imagined that such supernatural powers existed in the world.

With such supernatural powers, wouldn't one be completely invincible?
Without a second thought, he immediately used the Three-Eyed Cultivation Method he obtained from the Nuwa Ruins to integrate the double pupil into his brow.

Subsequently, he truly witnessed the power of the "ancient gods".

Incredible.

The sheer power that disregarded all rules filled him with dread.

Images flashed before his eyes, and unlike before, he looked at them more carefully.

He saw what would happen to him next, he saw his attack on the Eastern Wilderness again, his failure again, and even the reasons for his failure.

At this moment, he seemed to have become a shadow standing on the river of time, looking at the past, present and future.

After refining the eye, Bai Hao emerged from the foot of Kunlun Hill.

He spoke confidently to everyone.

"I will surely become the Heavenly Emperor."

On Kunlun Hill.

Li Jun stood atop the empty Kunlun Hill, watching Bai Hao's departing figure.

Li Jun said, "Wouldn't we have gone a bit too far?"

Nuwa said, "Didn't he say that he was willing to pay any price to become the Heavenly Emperor? This is just a mere price."

Li Jun recalled what he looked like later: "He wouldn't remember what he once said, and when he truly became the Heavenly Emperor one day, he wouldn't be willing to pay such a price again."

"They don't think they should pay a price for what they do, but rather take it all for granted."

Nuwa sneered, "What does that have to do with me? What we give him naturally comes at a price. He wants to become the Heavenly Emperor, so we need someone to end this era and stop this cycle from continuing."

Bai Hao's life from then on seemed to be blessed by heaven.

He abandoned his strategy of attacking the Eastern Wilderness and instead crossed mountains and valleys, breaking through another mountain range to head towards the Southern Wilderness.

Bai Hao arrived in the Southern Wilderness riding a chariot pulled by nine dragons. His vast army of strange beings from the mountains and seas formed a battle formation, wielding golden artifacts. Immortals rode ghosts, beasts, and magical weapons, either charging ahead or controlling formations.

The two sides fought fiercely, but Bai Hao always seemed to be able to find the opponent's weaknesses and anticipate their moves.

He was invincible wherever he went, his momentum unstoppable.

He even foresaw in advance that the enemy would turn his important general against him, and at the crucial moment, he set up an ambush and trap, breaking through the important pass of Yanhuo Kingdom in the Southern Wilderness.

At this time, the entire Southern Wilderness was in complete disarray, and many people surrendered directly to Bai Hao.

At the crucial moment, Donghuang was invited by Nanhuang to launch a flanking attack, which he seemed to have anticipated as well.

The two sides engaged in a great battle at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, where Bai Hao annihilated the reinforcements from the Eastern Wilderness.

At this point, Bai Hao's momentum had truly been established.

Many people could see that Bai Hao truly possessed the bearing of a Heavenly Emperor.

That's just how things are.

Few people offer help when you're in need, but when you're doing something wonderful, people flock to you.

Bai Hao's forces grew stronger and stronger, and wherever he went in the Southern Wilderness, there was almost no resistance.

More and more immortals and gods heard about Bai Hao and came to join him. At first glance, the various immortals, gods, and cultivators under his command really gave the impression of a miniature heavenly court.
-
Here.

Bai Hao is currently conquering cities and seizing territories, appearing poised to unify the eight wastelands and sweep across the six directions.

On the other side, deep underground and above the underworld.

Li Jun and Nuwa took advantage of this time, using Bai Hao's power and perspective, to observe the movements of the entire Great Wilderness.

"Come out?"

They were searching for the shadows hiding in the dark, but they couldn't be too obvious, for fear that the other would notice them.

At their level, the battles often involve more than just the strength of forces; they are more about information warfare.

If you can spot your opponent without letting them spot you, then the outcome is essentially decided.

At present, the only thing they are certain of is that the other party will definitely appear after Bai Hao becomes the Heavenly Emperor, although he will only refine Bai Hao into an incarnation when Bai Hao's power as the Heavenly Emperor is completely perfected and he has completely refined and merged with the Investiture of the Gods.

However, both Li Jun and Nuwa felt that the other side would definitely not just sit idly by before that, and would definitely come out to do something.

Nuwa had been searching for the other party using the power of Nuwa's Intestines, but with little success.

Where do you think he might be hiding?

Li Jun said, "I don't know."

Nuwa looked at Li Jun: "Don't you understand yourself?"

Li Jun said, "Not everyone has self-awareness."

Nuwa could only ask directly, "If it were you, where would you hide?"

Li Jun thought for a moment and replied, "I'm hiding in a place where no one can find me, and only I can enter and find it."

Nuwa then asked, "When will you come out?"

Li Jun answered quickly this time: "I will not come out unless necessary."

Nuwa looked at Li Jun, seemingly speechless.

If the other party is as cowardly as Li Jun, then the only time they'll have a weakness is at the very last moment; before that, the two of them really have no way to deal with him.

However, although the soul of the Emperor's body is Li Jun's soul, the two are still somewhat different.

Li Jun usually doesn't want to do anything unless absolutely necessary, but the soul of the Emperor's body has a lot to do. It wants everything and treats the entire Great Wilderness as its breeding ground.

More importantly, he had succeeded many times before without any unexpected incidents.

This naturally made the other party feel that there would be no exception this time either; within this world, no one could escape his grasp.

Even if the "livestock" being raised in this world discovers something is wrong, he can easily wipe them out and start a new round.

this day.

On this day, Nuwa sensed something unusual. Through the power of Nuwa's intestines, she discovered that a force was gathering on the eastern border and in the vast ocean beyond the east.

Suddenly, a large number of deities appeared there.

A large number of people with double pupils suddenly appeared.

Countless magical artifacts flew out of the sea, choosing their own masters and creating a large number of immortals in a short period of time, forming two forces.

One of its names is Penglai Immortal Island, and the other is Gushou Mountain.

This is not normal.

Nuwa found Li Jun and said, "Someone is deliberately creating a large number of people with double pupils. What do you think they are doing? Are they trying to interfere in the struggle for the Heavenly Emperor position?"

Li Jun thought for a moment and then replied.

"I feel like this is like releasing fish fry into a fishpond."

Nuwa: "Release fish fry?" Li Jun nodded. "To obtain the fattest fish and the largest catch during the final fishing season, we naturally need to release enough fish fry and also fertilize as much fertilizer as possible. This will ensure a large harvest in the end."

In Li Jun's and Nuwa's view, only the soul of an emperor could accomplish such a thing.

Nuwa asked, "Has he appeared in the Eastern Wilderness? Is he planning to choose someone from the Eastern Wilderness to become the Heavenly Emperor?"

Li Jun descended from the Yellow Springs and arrived in front of the Nuwa Palace underground in the blink of an eye.

"possible!"

"However, he probably doesn't care who will become the Heavenly Emperor in the end. What he cares about is whether there are enough fish and whether the fish are fat enough."

"As for who the biggest fish is, as long as we don't bite back or hinder his plans in the end, the rest is irrelevant."

Nuwa said, "That's true."

Next, they began to formulate a plan to deal with the soul of the Emperor's Body.

Implanting the Azure Bird Double Pupils on Bai Hao was just the beginning. According to their plan, they would then gradually push Bai Hao to truly become the Heavenly Emperor.

Only in this way, when the Emperor's Soul is refined and takes over Bai Hao's body, Li Jun can use the power of the Azure Bird to seal the Emperor's Soul along with the entire mountain and sea, as well as all the demon gods.

End this cycle, one after another.

Bai Hao is a trap set for the other party, a cage covered with layers of concealment.

After hearing the plan, Nuwa said, "This plan is truly ambitious, targeting the entire world. You treat this world like a plaything in your hands. Have you become this powerful in ten thousand years?"

Li Jun said, "I don't have much strength left right now."

Nuwa expressed her opinion: "But the sense of power you give me is greater than ever before. It's not just about physical strength. You and we seem to be from different worlds. You are like someone on the riverbank, quietly watching us and the people of this world as if we were watching fish in the water."

Li Jun thought for a moment and then told Nuwa.

"This might be one aspect of what you mean by what it feels like after transcending!"

“I don’t have much power right now, but I know enough and I’ve seen enough.”

"Therefore, a single act of interference can cause a catastrophe, and a flap of wings can stir up a storm."

Nuwa said knowingly, "To see far enough and know enough, that is the greatest power."

Nuwa then spoke about the changes in the Eastern Wilderness: "What should we do next? We must ensure that Bai Hao becomes the Heavenly Emperor. We cannot sit idly by while things in the Eastern Wilderness are in trouble."

Li Jun told Nuwa, "We need to steer the situation in the direction we want, but we also need to prevent the soul of the Emperor's body from discovering it."

Nuwa said, "In that case, we can only proceed in secret and cannot directly intervene?"

Donghuang.

The Eastern Wilderness was the place where the previous Heavenly Emperor attained enlightenment, but in this era, the Eastern Wilderness was not so powerful, and was even less prosperous than the Southern Wilderness.

On the one hand, it was because the previous era had been drained of its resources too much, and the Eastern Wilderness was the most affected when the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth came.

On the other hand, the legacy left by the previous era in the Eastern Wilderness is too great, resulting in the rise of many large and small forces, which are currently in a state of internal strife and division, making it difficult for the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness to suppress them.

Especially recently, the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness suffered a major defeat in the great battle between the White Emperor of the Western Wilderness, and the Azure Emperor has been unable to suppress the internal forces.

At this time, the emergence of Penglai Immortal Island and Gushou Mountain attracted the attention of the Azure Emperor.

"Penglai Immortal Island and Gushou Mountain also belong to my Eastern Wilderness. I will go to the East Sea to invite all the immortals to court."

Subsequently, the Azure Emperor went to Mount Gushou and fought a great battle on Penglai Island for ten days and ten nights. The Azure Emperor then made an agreement with Penglai Island and Mount Gushou.

With the introduction of powerful external aid, the previously fragmented state of the Eastern Wilderness has once again begun to show signs of integration.

The Eastern Wilderness and the Azure Emperor, who were originally on the verge of collapse, have once again become qualified to become Heavenly Emperors, causing all the immortals and gods of the Great Wilderness to watch and wait.

this day.

On the East China Sea, Li Jun and Nuwa appeared on the sea, gazing at the divine mountain and fairy island that were not far away.

On Penglai Immortal Island, numerous male immortals gathered with their friends, and the island shimmered with spiritual light, somewhat resembling the former Jade Pool.

There are many female immortals on Mount Gushe, each possessing great power.

After the Queen and Nuwa walked around and looked around, they did not find the shadow, but they could confirm that everything here was indeed caused by the other party's interference.

Nuwa raised a question: "He seems to be doing more than just releasing fish fry; he also seems to really want to choose Bai Hao, or at least doesn't favor him."

Li Jun nodded: "It's probably because Bai Hao's displayed power was too great, and his advantage was too much."

Nuwa understood: "I want the fish to grow fat enough, but I don't want them to be too smart, or to grow sharp fangs."

Li Jun: "That's about it."

Nuwa said, "If we can't let the Green Emperor become powerful, what are you going to do?"

Li Jun said, "The key lies in the East China Sea, in these two sacred mountains and islands."

Nuwa looked at Penglai Immortal Island and Mount Gushou, and then said,
"No matter what, you can't be exposed, so I'll do it!"

"In that case, if it's exposed, it'll only be me."

"I was resurrected because of the mark I left back then. Even if the soul of the Emperor's body knew about it, it wouldn't be too afraid."

"If the soul of the Emperor's body finds out that you've come, he might not dare to show his face again and could just secretly overturn the table."

Li Jun thought for a moment and then spoke to Nuwa.

"Then I'll leave it to you, but what are you planning to do?"

Nuwa said, "We made many arrangements in the Great Wilderness back then. As for my methods, I can also show them to you."

Li Jun asked, "What kind of methods?"

Nuwa said mysteriously, "Naturally, it's a method you wouldn't use."

The Qingqiu Kingdom in the Eastern Wilderness.

The entire Great Wilderness was rife with conflict, and immortals and gods from all sides were constantly emerging.
The Qingqiu Kingdom was naturally not immune to the consequences, but this time it seemed that the Qingqiu Kingdom had chosen the wrong side and was feared by the Qing Emperor, resulting in the destruction of the entire Qingqiu Kingdom.

Above the eastern sky, a bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, destroying the entire Qingqiu Kingdom and turning the entire Mountain and Sea Kingdom into a ball of flames.

The descendants of Qingqiu scattered and fled, with only a few escaping alive.

Among them, a woman of exceptional beauty, wearing a magical artifact from the Qingqiu Kingdom and possessing double pupils, was escorted by a group of Qingqiu descendants as she fled towards Mount Gushou.

"As long as we escape to Gushou Mountain, we will be saved."

“Our clan has an old friend in Mount Gushe. Now that she has achieved mastery of her cultivation, she will surely be able to protect us.”

After saying that, the woman glared hatefully at the Qingqiu Kingdom, which had turned into flames in the distance.

"Who knows, one day I might be able to avenge this great grudge."

The moment the Azure Emperor made his move, he created a karmic grudge. Nuwa immediately seized the opportunity and began to gradually unfold a karmic web targeting both the Azure Emperor and the White Emperor.

As soon as Nuwa made her arrangements, Li Jun immediately took notice.

Above the Yellow Springs, Li Jun raised the Three Lives Stone, and Tu Bo followed suit, using the power of the Yellow Springs to erase the clues and conceal the secrets of heaven.

In terms of concealing heavenly secrets, almost no power in the human world can compare to that of the Yellow Springs and the Earth God.

However, Li Jun was genuinely stunned when he saw the woman who had escaped to Gushou Mountain.

"is her?"

He recognized the other person; it was the fox spirit who had repeatedly opposed him before.

Although it wasn't the first time he had seen the cause after the effect, Li Jun still felt it was very magical when he witnessed it with his own eyes.

As the descendant of the Tushan clan of Qingqiu entered Gushe Mountain, the entire Eastern Wilderness began to descend into chaos.

First, because the unique power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon God's double pupils captivated people's hearts, a great battle broke out between Mount Gushou and Penglai Immortal Island in the East Sea.

The two sides suffered heavy casualties in a great battle, which directly affected the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness.

Immediately afterwards, the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness was dragged into the cause and effect.

He was originally waiting to reap the benefits, but he was bewitched by the owner of the nine-tailed fox with double pupils and started targeting Penglai Immortal Island, causing the entire Penglai Immortal Island to become alienated from the Eastern Wilderness and break away from it.

Then, the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness also came to his senses and realized that the fox spirit was acting strangely.

But by the time he came to his senses, the fox spirit had already escaped. The Azure Emperor was furious and ordered all sides to capture the fox spirit.

The fox spirit left the Eastern Wilderness and went directly to the Western Wilderness to meet the White Emperor, Bai Hao.

At this moment.

As the Southern Wilderness was gradually pacified, the Eastern Wilderness naturally became Bai Hao's greatest enemy, and Bai Hao had been trying to find a way to open up the situation in the Eastern Wilderness.

At this moment, the fox spirit who escaped from the Eastern Wilderness became the key for Bai Hao to open the gate to the Eastern Wilderness.

Firstly, the other party is familiar with the Eastern Wilderness, comes from the Eastern Wilderness, and has many old friends there.

Secondly, the other party has a deep-seated hatred for the Azure Emperor, so Bai Hao feels that the other party can be trusted.

Thirdly, the other party also has intricate connections with Gushan Mountain and Penglai Immortal Island, is familiar with the inside story there, and knows many people, which is exactly what he needs.

More importantly, the fourth point is that when the White Emperor saw the fox spirit, he was immediately awestruck.

"There are still women like this in the world."

Of course, Bai Hao didn't forget to use the double pupil between his eyebrows to glimpse the future.

Then, in that scene, he saw himself breaking through the Eastern Wilderness with the other party's help, and thus became even more convinced that the other party was the one destined by heaven to help him.

Immediately, Bai Hao accepted the fox spirit and announced a campaign against the "tyrannical ruler" Qingdi of the Eastern Wilderness.

In the Wa Palace.

Li Jun was very surprised; he hadn't expected that the power of a beautiful woman to bring disaster would be so strong.

The charm of the fox spirits of Qingqiu surpasses even their supernatural powers of overturning rivers and seas and their earth-shattering magic.

Li Jun said, "Is it really that simple?"

"One woman decided the fate of two people who were qualified to become the Heavenly Emperor, and the fate of the entire Great Wilderness."

Nuwa gave only one answer: "Don't you think she's beautiful?"

The fox spirits of Qingqiu are indeed beautiful. Their clan was originally created by Nuwa using the power of creation, focusing on the word "charm." The later Nine-Tailed Fox Goddess was also created from this, and even those with double pupils can be charmed and controlled.

Li Jun said, "It is indeed beautiful, but so what? This is a contest for the position of the Great Wilderness Heavenly Emperor."

Nuwa turned her head to look at Li Jun, but suddenly burst out laughing.

She said, "The Heavenly Emperor is a divine being, so naturally his will is firm. Even the years cannot erode the Heavenly Emperor's Dao heart. What can a mere Qingqiu fox do?"

Li Jun didn't know how to answer.
-
The situation in the Great Wilderness was constantly changing, and the number of people qualified to compete for the position of Heavenly Emperor was decreasing day by day.

Two of the most qualified are currently locked in a life-or-death struggle at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Hundreds of thousands of miles away from Buzhou Mountain.

There is a place called Duguang Plain in ancient times. It is said that the previous Heavenly Emperor once erected the Jianmu tree here, and at that time, this place still had connections with the human world.

The demise of the Heavenly Court not only closed the gates of the celestial realm, but also severed the connection between the entire Great Wilderness and the human world.

On the open field.

First came the sounds of horns and war drums from the clouds above, followed by layers upon layers of colorful clouds pressing down from above.

As battle flags were waved and descended, battle formations composed of strange beings from mountains and seas swooped down from the sky, pressing down on the other side.

Some of them were engulfed in fire, some were swirling water, some were blowing wind, some were thundering, and some were puffing smoke.

On the battle banner, demons and gods were controlled to roar and unleash their supernatural powers on the enemy.

The entire battlefield was like a millstone, grinding the flesh and blood of everyone who entered the battle into ashes, leaving no living beings with even their souls.

However, at the crucial moment, many gods on Qingdi's side suddenly defected, and Qingdi's side immediately suffered a defeat.

As the saying goes, a defeated army collapses like a mountain.

At this moment, the defeat of the Eastern Wilderness forces truly felt like the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed. Layers of clouds fell, turning into countless corpses on the earth, and battle formations collapsed, turning into a dense mass of fireworks and meteors.

distance.

At this moment, Li Jun and Nuwa were standing in a place not far from the wilderness of Duguang. There was a divine tree called the Three Trees, and the two of them were standing under the tree.

Judging from the current situation, Bai Hao will likely become the true Heavenly Emperor soon.

Li Jun, who had been looking at the battlefield, suddenly turned his gaze to the battlefield.

He said, "He's out."

Nuwa's expression changed: "Where is he?"

Li Jun immediately said, "I just locked his information, but it disappeared again."

Just as Nuwa was about to ask him what he had done, she saw that the people in the Western Wilderness were in big trouble during the pursuit. Their double pupils and immortal artifacts had both stopped working, and they were instantly thrown into chaos.

At least it seems that they are powerless to pursue the Azure Emperor's side, and the Eastern Wilderness can still barely survive.

It seems the other party really doesn't want to see Bai Hao become the Heavenly Emperor. After all, just as Li Jun said, what he needs is a fat fish, not a big fish with fangs and sharp teeth.

Li Jun said, "It looks like we'll have to fight another match."

Nuwa said, "It's not that simple. We can't let things drag on any longer."

then.

Nuwa turned her gaze to the other side.

On this side, chaos broke out in the army under the command of the White Emperor of the Western Wilderness. The battle formation collapsed and the immortal artifacts went out of control, causing one immortal after another to fall from the clouds.

On the other side, the Azure Emperor could not see this scene. What he saw was his army collapsing like a house of cards, him entering a desperate situation, and then he began to run for his life.

The Azure Emperor drove his dragon chariot, watching as his ministers and guards scattered and fled one by one, until he was left all alone.

This shows that no one has any faith in him, or rather, no one has given up on him.

In an instant, the Azure Emperor lost all thought of escaping in his chariot, feeling that the vastness of the four seas and eight wastelands offered him no refuge.

He burst into tears and wailed loudly.

"I never imagined that I would fall to such a state today."

At that moment, a beam of light descended, and the fox spirit blocked the Azure Emperor's path.

The fox spirit asked, "Where are you going?"

The fox spirit raised her head, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, her pupils gleaming.

The Azure Emperor paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to die at the hands of a woman."

After saying this, he drew his sword and committed suicide.

Then, an unexpected scene unfolded.

As the shadow of that great calamity fell upon the Azure Emperor, just as he was about to reverse his fate, the Azure Emperor committed suicide, his soul departing for the underworld.

At this moment, Li Jun raised the Three Lives Stone, and a giant wave surged in the Yellow Springs, sweeping up the soul of the Azure Emperor and obliterating all the causes and consequences beyond trace.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, without any external intervention.

From this point on, it was a foregone conclusion that the White Emperor would become the Heavenly Emperor. The shadowy figure behind the scenes could no longer expend the power to break this situation. It was tantamount to a complete reshuffling of the deck, tearing everything down and starting over.

Under the three trees.

Li Jun looked at Nuwa and said.

"We're going to be quiet for a while now, and do nothing."

Nuwa said, "We don't need to do anything anymore, at least not until Bai Hao becomes the Heavenly Emperor."

After saying this, Li Jun and Nuwa gradually disappeared into the ground beneath the three trees, vanishing from the Great Wilderness.

Meanwhile, the White Emperor was overjoyed to see the fox spirit return with the remains of the Green Emperor.

He embraced the fox spirit and received the worship of all the immortals and gods above the clouds, at this moment he regarded himself as the true Heavenly Emperor.
-
Twelve years have passed.

Bai Hao had maintained a ceasefire for four years, and it took him another five years to finally pacify the Northern Wilderness.

From then on, the four seas and eight wastelands were at least nominally unified under the name of the White Emperor Bai Hao.

Next, he spent three years rebuilding the order of the Great Wilderness. All the immortals and gods of the Great Wilderness submitted to him. He also tried his best to find all the undiscovered immortal artifacts in an attempt to stabilize and control all the demon gods and ghost gods.

Now, it can be said that the initial results are visible.

at this point.

As can be seen from Mount Buzhou, the fierce winds and chaotic forces at the top of Mount Buzhou are gradually subsiding, and now the Heavenly Gate above has been revealed.

On this day, Bai Hao led all the immortals and gods to the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

After the chaotic power of the gale and the demon god dissipated, revealing the entrance to the celestial realm, a grand sacrificial ceremony was held here.

They worshipped the four directions of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Emperor of the past, and all the ghosts, gods, and demons.

Subsequently, he issued a decree to all corners of the world, announcing that he was about to open the Heavenly Gate and re-establish the Heavenly Court.

Not at the foot of the mountain.

Li Jun and Nuwa, who had not appeared for more than a decade, suddenly appeared in a mountain valley.

Once the Heavenly Gate is opened, the first part of Nuwa and Li Jun's plan can be said to have been a complete success.

Nuwa controlled the Qingqiu fox, allowing her to travel to the Heavenly Realm and retrieve some of her belongings.

Li Jun, through his hidden third double pupil, could be said to be manipulating the White Emperor like a puppet.

Time seemed to have returned to ancient times, to the era of Emperor Jun and Emperor Li Jun, and to the era of Nuwa.

Even if they don't sit on the throne, they still control everything.
