I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 128 Ancient Times (Part 3)

The celestial realm has opened.

But everything inside had changed, making Li Jun feel very unfamiliar with it.

The original nine heavens became thirty-six heavens, and the original Zengcheng Imperial Palace also changed its appearance.

The Jade Pool is gone, the Peach Grove is gone, and the origin of the Immortal Peach Tree is gone.

Some things have been lost in the celestial realm, but many, many things have also been added.

Above the Yellow Springs.

Li Jun sat cross-legged on the Three Lives Stone, his hands slightly open, revealing an eye in his palm—the other eye of the Azure Bird Double Pupil.

He synchronized this eye with the other eye, and saw what the other could see.

At this moment, he was following the White Emperor's perspective as he looked up through layer after layer of heavens, until finally he saw the White Emperor obtain the Investiture of the Gods.

The White Emperor Bai Hao was overjoyed, even to the point of losing his composure, because obtaining the Investiture of the Gods meant that his identity as the Heavenly Emperor had been completely confirmed. He was no longer acting in name but could command and control all the immortals and gods in the world through power.

In his own eyes, he had become the supreme and most powerful being in the world, ruling over everything.

But he was unaware that he had fallen into a complex web of traps.

However, when the White Emperor held the Investiture of the Gods in the first heaven, he still thought of the past Heavenly Emperors who had also stood here, and the ancient immortals and gods who had disappeared.

"Why are they all gone?"

What exactly is the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth?

"When will the next great calamity of heaven and earth arrive, and how can I prepare for it?"

Some say the great calamity was caused by cultivators taking too much from heaven and earth, while others say it was caused by the backlash of the power of demon gods.

The truth had long been concealed by the fall of generations of Heavenly Emperors and immortals, and the White Emperor was unaware of what the so-called Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth truly was.

but.

Now that Bai Hao sits on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, he naturally wants to find out the reason behind all of this.

Although he had only just taken this position, he did not want to be some kind of successor to the Heavenly Emperor; he wanted to be the Heavenly Emperor forever.

For thousands of years, it will exist alongside heaven and earth, sun and moon.

skyline.

Within the imperial palace, Li Jun and Nuwa swaggered in, walking directly through the gates of the celestial realm, passing through one heaven after another.

The divine mirror above the gates of Heaven could not reflect their images, and no one could see them either. The gods, soldiers, and immortals along the way passed by them, but their pupils did not reflect their images at all, as if they were not even in the same world.

The two of them felt more at ease walking in the celestial realm than walking in their own backyard.

However, when the two of them swaggered into the imperial palace and began to tamper with it without any scruples, Nuwa still felt that it was a bit outrageous.

Not far away, the White Emperor was writing furiously at his desk. Li Jun stood directly behind him, watching him intently and occasionally offering a comment. Even under these circumstances, the Heavenly Emperor remained completely unresponsive.

Nuwa asked him, "How did you do it? Didn't he notice at all?"

Li Jun stretched out his hand, and the other double pupil of the Azure Bird was now embedded in his palm, while the White Emperor's brow also lit up slightly.

"His eyes are mine."

What he can see depends on what I want him to see.

They can manipulate what the other person sees, and thus manipulate their behavior. They can even go further, because what the other person sees can be manipulated, and even their memories can be artificially altered.

Nuwa disappeared for a while, and then returned to the Imperial Palace, bringing back some items.

Li Jun saw that Nuwa had obtained the register of all the gods and immortals in the entire Heavenly Court through that fox spirit, and had also figured out most of the secrets of the Thirty-Six Heavens.

Li Jun asked her, "What are you going to do with these?"

Nuwa did not speak, but asked him, "What are you going to do next?"

Li Jun wanted to speed things up, get the Emperor's Soul to appear sooner, and then settle this matter.

At this moment, Nuwa asked Li Jun a question.

"When all power is sealed away, doesn't that mean you yourself can no longer use that power?"

"When the Yellow Springs are gone, you will have no place for your soul to rest, and you will have no way to be reincarnated."

"Without Nuwa's intestines, you have no body to rely on."

Li Jun said, "I can still use the power of the Bluebird. It has partially transcended heaven and earth, and I can exist by borrowing its power."

Nuwa asked him, "Isn't the price a bit too high?"

Li Jun understood Nuwa's thoughts: once the entire Mountain and Sea Realm and all the demon gods were sealed away, she would be sealed away as well.

Li Jun said, "Everything is only temporary. Ten thousand years from now, everything will start anew."

"And ten thousand years from now, all the current problems will be solved, and the problems that you couldn't solve in the capital city back then will no longer exist."

Nuwa looked at Li Jun and exclaimed, "He truly has the bearing of someone who lives for eternity!"

At this moment, Nuwa asked again, "Will you see me ten thousand years from now?"

Li Jun said, "I saw the other nine Nuwa goddesses, but you should also be inside Nuwa's intestines, or on one of the other nine Nuwa goddesses."

The two wandered through the heavens, unseen by anyone, who allowed them to do as they pleased.

The Heavenly Court has just opened, making it the perfect time to make moves and begin laying the groundwork.

However, another being with the same idea finally emerged from the shadows and headed towards the celestial realm.

The soul of the Emperor has arrived.

Within the imperial palace.

Li Jun and Nuwa were standing in front of the White Emperor when they suddenly turned their heads to look at the Thirty-Six Heavens and saw a shadow squeeze in from outside the heavens and earth.

The other party did not hide within the mountains and seas, but rather hid outside.

Instantly, the two spoke in unison.

Li Jun: "They're out!"

Nuwa: "She's out!"

During this period, the soul of the Emperor's Body had already devoured six generations of Heavenly Emperors and immortals. If we don't consider external forces, the two of them should not be his match.

Ten thousand years later, Li Jun will have Xihe and the entire Earth to help him, but during this period, he is extremely poor.

The two completely concealed their personal information and stood in the imperial palace looking down.

As the other party entered from the outside, many details became clearer. It felt as if we were originally just looking inside a glass container from the outside, but now the other party has opened the lid, poked their head in, and is examining it closely with a magnifying glass.

In such a situation, some of the arrangements made by the two might be exposed.

The biggest and most critical problem is among them.

It is the third eye of the White Emperor.

Nuwa immediately reminded Li Jun: "When he really comes out, your eyes will be exposed."

Li Jun said, "I have a way."

Nuwa asked, "What's your plan?"

Li Jun turned his head and looked at Bai Di.

At this moment, the White Emperor, who was behind the jade table, immediately raised his head and touched his forehead.

At that moment, some images suddenly appeared in his mind, and some thoughts arose.

He thought once again of the ancient celestial emperors and immortals who had vanished. Worry appeared on the White Emperor's face, which gradually turned into anxiety and fear.

"Something's wrong!"

"Something's not right, there's definitely a problem. What is it, and where does it come from?"

"One Heavenly Emperor after another has fallen in this way, and all the immortals and gods have disappeared. There must be something hidden behind this great calamity of heaven and earth."

"How can I find out the underlying problems so as to avoid repeating the same mistakes?"

The White Emperor once again activated the power of his third double pupil. He suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis and vaguely saw his tragic future.

The White Emperor suddenly stood up, even dropping his pen to the ground, but he didn't care about that at the moment and covered his face with his hand.

Images flashed through his mind: he saw his own gruesome death, being swallowed by a huge black shadow, falling from the Thirty-Sixth Heaven, and countless immortals and gods perishing from the Thirty-Sixth Heaven, the light of immortal artifacts falling from the heavens to the mortal realm like shooting stars.

The White Emperor lowered his hand, his eyes filled with utter shock.

He didn't understand why he was suddenly seeing such a scene. He had just become the Heavenly Emperor, so how could he suddenly be dying?

"what happened?"

"I am dead?"

"All the gods will die, and the great calamity of heaven and earth is about to begin?"

"What on earth happened? I just became the Heavenly Emperor, and the great calamity is about to begin."

"why?"

"why?"

The White Emperor was somewhat frightened. When a person is in a high position, their courage tends to decrease, and the more a person possesses, the harder it is for them to give up what they have.

And in this world, it seems that no one has a higher status or more possessions than him now.

The White Emperor disregarded his image and sat down cross-legged, continuously performing rituals and displaying his supernatural powers.

"Look at me more clearly!"

"what is going on?"

He repeatedly tried to activate the power of his third double pupil, but it seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force, making it impossible to see the future changes.

Finally, after the White Emperor paid an even greater price, he saw part of the "truth" and the future clearly.

Soon, a person will arrive, a person with power so great that he cannot resist, who can decide the life and death of everyone and the cycle of this world in an instant.

In the future he saw with his third double pupil, no matter what he did, no matter how much he struggled, even if he gathered the power of the entire Heavenly Court, he could never be a match for the other party.

"Seek good fortune and avoid misfortune."

"Seek good fortune and avoid misfortune!" The White Emperor kept activating his third eye, and even his own body began to show signs of aging, the cost of which was becoming unbearable.

He wanted to avoid this disaster and was willing to do anything to do so.

But all he saw was misfortune, and he couldn't find a way out of misfortune, which made him even more anxious.

Meanwhile, the White Emperor gradually comes into contact with the "truth" through scenes of impending doom.

"The so-called great calamity of heaven and earth was actually caused by one person, no, he is heaven and earth itself. Who exactly is he?"

"He is using the entire world as his resources for advancement, transforming himself into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and repeatedly initiating tribulations to transform us into the power of the Great Dao."

"why?"

"The time is not up yet."

Why did he kill me?

Why was the great calamity initiated ahead of schedule?

Finally, after repeatedly peering into the future and witnessing his own unique ways of dying, the White Emperor saw a glimmer of hope for himself amidst the endless cycle of death.

He even understood why the other party had killed him.

"Is it because of my third eye?"

In an instant, the White Emperor suddenly realized what was going on and understood everything.

"That's right!"

"With this divine eye, I can see the future and attract good fortune while avoiding misfortune."

“I knew he was coming even before he arrived, and I knew everything.”

"If he knew I had this eye, he, who is the embodiment of heaven and earth and the Great Dao, would never tolerate me continuing to be the Heavenly Emperor, and would definitely start the great calamity ahead of schedule."

The White Emperor stood up, both terrified of the impending doom and the figure before him, and overjoyed at having discovered a glimmer of hope.

More importantly, he felt he had found the truth and a way to escape this great calamity, becoming the first Heavenly Emperor to survive this catastrophe.

His third double pupil is a powerful weapon against that person.

This is his only chance to turn the tide, his most important trump card and strength.

The White Emperor sensed that the figure was very close; it had already entered this realm, and it wouldn't be long before it was right in front of him.

"Who is he?"

"What exactly do we need to do?"

"In short, I absolutely cannot let him discover my third double pupil, and I must never lose it."

At this moment, Bai Di had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.

After saying that, the White Emperor took out his third double pupil and sealed it in a box.

Sealed within the double pupils are all his memories of using them.

He pushed the box into the fierce winds of the sky, where it would fall at a specific time, at which point he would understand everything.

When the box disappeared, Nuwa and Li Jun also vanished.

Before the jade table, the White Emperor was somewhat puzzled.

What do I want to do by suddenly standing up?

The White Emperor saw the pen that had fallen to the ground, then raised his hand, and the pen flew up.

"Oh!"

"The pen fell on the ground."

At this moment.

A figure entered from beyond heaven and earth, and he quickly passed through Mount Buzhou, passing through layer after layer of heaven.

This scene was like a reenactment of what Nuwa and Li Jun had done not long ago.

He came before the White Emperor, who also could not see him. He took his pen and returned to the jade table, and then began to read the reports from all corners of the world.

The figure walked up to the White Emperor, stirring the imperial blood within him.

In an instant, Bai Di's eyes also became empty.

It's as if its soul has been lost, leaving only an empty shell.

The other party observed the White Emperor's power, then checked the White Emperor's memories, and only released control over the White Emperor after confirming that everything was correct.

Next.

The soul of the Emperor's body also tampered with Bai Hao's body.

He planted a seed in the other person, or rather, he planted an obsession in the White Emperor through the Emperor's blood, causing him to keep moving towards this obsession and to complete the task he had given to the other person.

"go with!"

"Seize the time to integrate all the rules of heaven and earth, create more immortals and gods, and expand this world even further."

"You are the Heavenly Emperor. It is your duty to strengthen this world and the Great Dao of this world."

Then, the soul of the Emperor departed.

He vanished into the world, disappearing without a trace.

Looking back at Bai Di, he had become even more diligent, appearing single-mindedly devoted to the well-being of this land.

It's as if even selfish desires have been castrated, turning them into puppets.

When the time is right, heaven and earth will lend their strength.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor Bai Hao truly felt what it meant to be blessed by Heaven and Earth, and what it meant to have boundless good fortune.

Having ascended to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, even the heavens were on his side.

The entire Great Wilderness returned to order at a breakneck pace, with all the demons, gods, and spirits being refined.

The number of celestial beings and gods in the heavenly realm increased day by day, each ruling over a region. The heavenly realm reached its zenith, and the underworld was re-established. Mountain gods, water gods, and earth gods from various regions were also continuously bestowed titles.

In a short time, Bai Hao's Heavenly Court entered its peak state at an extremely fast pace, like oil being poured over a raging fire.

indeed.

After Bai Di became the Heavenly Emperor, the entire Great Wilderness helped him, and he was the only choice among all the immortals and gods.

In addition, there is the soul of an emperor above him, whose body is integrated with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, waiting for him to perfect the laws of Heaven and Earth, and waiting for all the immortals and gods to grow up.

Below, Li Jun and Nuwa are also waiting for the White Emperor to grow up, and then waiting for the Emperor's soul to start the great calamity and reveal its weaknesses.

At this moment, regardless of whether they were friend or foe, everyone was helping Bai Hao; it was truly a case of the heavens and earth joining forces when the time was right.

this day.

A box fell from the fierce winds of the sky and landed in the imperial palace.

After seeing the jade box, Bai Hao felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity with it, yet he felt no surprise whatsoever, as if he had already known that the box would end up here, or that he had seen it before.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any memory of the box.

Finally, he stepped down from the jade table, picked up the box, and a sense of familiarity made him even more certain that he had seen this box before.

As soon as he opened the box, a beam of light shot out.

He naturally had the ability to intercept the light, but at the slightest thought, he released it on his own, allowing the light to rush into his brow.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Hao opened one eye between his eyebrows, and a flood of memories and images rushed in.

It flows endlessly, like a great river.

Those memories and images even broke the shackles imposed on him by the Emperor's Soul, shattered his obsession, and allowed him to return to his original state.

Break free from shackles and return to your true self.

"So that's how it is."

Then, Bai Hao burst into laughter, which turned into wild laughter. He was so excited that he lost control and his body was trembling.

He saw many images, and saw that terrifying figure, who was heaven and earth, the Great Dao that controls everything.

All the demons and ghosts were nothing but wandering spirits beneath his robes, and all the gods and even he, the Heavenly Emperor, were nothing but food for him.

The other party has devoured generation after generation of Heavenly Emperors and erased generation after generation of myths; it is the dark hand that controls the entire world.

He was terrified, trembling.

but.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of pride arose.

Because he managed to deceive such an opponent, and could even be said to have won a move against him.

He found his opponent's weakness and even glimpsed a sliver of hope that he could defeat him—something that no emperor in history had ever accomplished.

He felt an overwhelming sense of pride, even feeling that the ancient emperors of all dynasties were no more than him.

Just because they can't do something doesn't mean he can't.

"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth".

"Even if you really are that Great Dao, I will still defeat you."

"I am the Heavenly Emperor!"

"He will always be the Heavenly Emperor."

He turned his head and looked behind him, as if he could already see the dark figure behind him who was controlling everything.

The other person's appearance was gradually revealed; there were no secrets under his third double pupil.

However, what Bai Hao didn't expect was that the shadowy figure standing behind him wasn't just one.

But three.

Layer upon layer, enveloping the entire world, even the years and the cycle of reincarnation.
