I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 88 Emperor Jun?

Darkness swept in, then receded.

The light descended from the sky, only to be overshadowed by another layer of light.

Along this border between the two countries.

Light and darkness seem to be locked in a struggle, but their roles are constantly being swapped.

"Buzz!"

The moment Li Jun picked up the black sword, the darkness that originally belonged to Zhang You escaped from his body in layers and submitted to Li Jun's sword.

Meanwhile, Zhang You kept shouting.

"Please summon the spirit Yu Jiang!"

"Please invoke the spirits..."

"please……"

Zhang You's expression changed drastically, and his voice became increasingly shrill with each passing moment.

At this moment, he was like a giant black spider, violently tearing at the dark threads, preventing those things from escaping.

But Zhang You soon realized that he couldn't stop it all.

Li Jun did not summon the ghost god Yu Jiang away, but sealed him away and transferred his power to whichever sword it was.

The giant spider that had been constantly pulling at the darkness finally gave up on the dark threads, and its form began to change; it was preparing to escape.

"call!"

The distorted shadow of Zhang You began to twist as the wind blew.

On the ground, he resembled a dragon or snake.

When it struggles to its feet, it looks like a big fish leaping out of the water.

When it takes flight, it resembles a terrifying black bird.

"call out!"

But he eventually took flight. Zhang You flapped his wings forcefully and flew into the sky. At this moment, all he wanted was to leave this place.

He thought of the double pupils, and of that ancient immortal god.

"Even without Yu Jiang, as long as it's the other side, there must still be a way."

"As long as we leave here, we can still turn things around."

"As long as you're still alive."

This is what Zhang Youfei was thinking when he was in the sky.

However, Li Jun's sword strike unleashed all of Zhang You's power.

A vast, overwhelming black shadow emerged from Li Jun's sword, obscuring the light between heaven and earth.

This time.

The one who rules the darkness has changed; it's now Li Jun.

Layer upon layer of shadows, carried by the wind, swept across the earth and the sky, pushing towards Zhang You and finally engulfing him completely.

"what!"

Zhang You immediately fell from the height and crashed heavily to the ground.

He lost his alienated form and became human.

After landing on the ground, Zhang You immediately looked up at the Dushuo Ghost Gate and the Golden Peach Tree in the distance.

In his eyes, it seemed to be the last light in the world, and Zhang You began to flee towards that light without regard for anything else.

At that moment, that was the only place where he could find a glimmer of hope.

He wanted to cross the Ghost Gate to bring him back to the underworld.

Beneath the enormous golden peach tree, Zhang You's shadow appeared exceptionally small, and also exceptionally frantic and helpless, like a moth chasing the sun.

He ran and shouted as he went.

"why me?"

"Why am I the target?!"

"I have never done anything to you, I have no grudge against you."

“I’m not like Zhou Shentong. That guy has a grudge against you, but I haven’t done anything to you…”

Zhang You seemed to have forgotten that he wanted to take what Li Jun had given him from Zhao Nange, or perhaps he thought it was unimportant.

Or perhaps they feel that the trap Li Jun set from the beginning was specifically aimed at them, and that the fault lies entirely with Li Jun.

Li Jun ignored him and raised his sword once more.

This time.

As the wind howled, snow began to fall.

The ground beneath Li Jun's feet began to freeze, and frost rapidly spread into the distance.

Zhang You happened to turn around and was terrified by what he saw. He truly felt the taste of death.

When he sat on the Gate of Hell, watching countless spirits pass through it, he thought he controlled the life and death of all living beings. But at this moment, he was also being controlled by others.

“You recognize Yu Jiang, no, Yu Jiang recognizes you.”

"You are an ancient immortal, a true reincarnation of an immortal."

"who are you?"

"Emperor Jun!"

"You are Di Jun, the Double-Pupil Immortal told me..."

Zhang You seemed genuinely anxious; he kept shouting incoherently, perhaps without even knowing what he was yelling.

But before he could finish speaking, he was frozen by the cold and turned into an ice sculpture.

Then, blown by the black wind, it turned into ice dust and dissipated.

In the distance, everyone watched this scene, thinking that Zhang You had died just like that.

Despite the chill sweeping across the land, many people felt drenched in sweat.

"Dead again?"

"What's the deal with that sword?"

"Last time, it didn't seem this powerful."

"It seems to have devoured the ghost god Yu Jiang."

If two abbots of the Changsheng Temple were to die in succession, it would seem to everyone that the Changsheng Temple was destined to end.

Perhaps Zhang You should have died last time, and the era of the belief in immortality should have ended.

But at that time, the resurgence of the Candle Dragon stopped all of this.

however.

To everyone's surprise, although Zhang You's body was reduced to dust, one thing remained.

There was nothing in the darkness, but a pair of eyes shone like torches.

The eyes moved and looked at Li Jun.

Li Jun also looked over. He originally thought it was Zhang You and was about to make a move.

However, at this moment, the pupils of those eyes suddenly split open, turning into a pair of double pupils.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Tu and Yu Lei in the distance also began to disappear.

Li Jun, carrying his sword, originally intended to control Shen Tu and Yu Lei by relying on Yu Jiang's power, just like Zhou Shentong and Zhang You had done in the past.

"Shen Tu and Yu Lei!"

However, when Li Jun called out the name, Shen Tu Yu Lei did not listen to him. It was unknown whether it was because he was the sealed Yu Jiang and did not have the covenant between the gods and ghosts.

However, Li Jun felt that was not the case.

In the dark.

Another force had taken advantage of the situation, summoning away the two large peach demons first.

Or rather, from the very beginning, these two peach demons from ancient mythology were given to Zhou Shentong and Zhang You by the other party.

Li Jun, sword in hand, gazed at the disappearing Dushuo Ghost Gate in the distance, recalling what Zhang You had said earlier.

At that time, Zhang You had already transformed into human form, and his voice was almost completely drowned out by the overwhelming gale.

However, Li Jun, who was holding the black sword, vaguely heard the other party say a name, or rather a code name, through the demonic wind he stirred up.

"A Celestial with Double Pupils!"

The darkness gradually receded.

However, instead of being dispersed by the distant sun, it was absorbed into the sword in Li Jun's hand, as if it were some kind of tangible substance.

Everything returned to normal, and Li Jun stood on the ground, looking just like an ordinary person.

There was movement behind her, and Zhao Nange walked up.

"Zhang You is dead."

Li Jun said, "He's not dead."

Zhao Nange: "But..."

Li Jun: "If he dies, his double pupils will remain."

At least for Li Jun, this was proof that he wasn't completely dead. In the supernatural world, if someone isn't completely dead, especially if they are powerful, you never know where they might crawl out from or in what form.

Zhao Nange immediately looked into the distance, using his extraordinary vision to sense all the unusual objects and traces around him.

Indeed, I did not see the other person's double pupils.

However, Li Jun was not too disappointed. Perhaps the biggest gain from this trip was that the shadow behind it was finally revealed.

This achievement even surpassed the sealing of the ghost god Yu Jiang.

Just as he said at the beginning, killing Zhou Shentong was useless, killing Zhang You was useless, and the two of them were never the root of the problem.

Li Jun saw it for the first time, which also proved the existence of the two behind the scenes.

That's the root of the problem.

Li Jun appeared here not long ago; he appeared as a replacement and quickly returned to his previous position.
-
Beiming.

Zhang You was transported, in a daze, onto the streets of Dushuo City, which resembled a conveyor belt.

Zhang You hadn't actually become a ghost who had completely lost his physical body; half of his head was still there.

It was because of those double pupils, or rather, the existence behind those double pupils, that protected what made those double pupils a home.

The half-eaten head passed motionless under one dim streetlamp after another, like meat being transported on a conveyor belt in a slaughterhouse.

Zhang You probably never imagined that one day he would board the conveyor belt he designed and head to the Netherworld, which had never been fully opened.

Or rather, it's unknown what form the Netherworld will take. When he passed through the conveyor belt, the entire Dushuo City and the disciples of Changsheng Temple were in an uproar, all rushing towards him.

"The abbot has arrived!"

"Hurry up, get it over there..."

The disciples of the Longevity Temple gathered together and sent half of Zhang You's head into a special place, which was the so-called new reincarnation space that he had previously set up.

Just like the legendary place of the six realms of reincarnation.

The idea of building this place actually originated from the Jedi Sky-Connection Project, but it had to be changed as times changed.

That is, stripping all of a person's extraordinary information into the underworld, but preserving the person's physical body.

In this situation, the person's body is not yet dead, but a part of him is discarded into the lower world.

at this time.

Zhang You remembered his former job and then had a sudden inspiration.

If this connection could be established in some way, could it allow a person to live in the present world while simultaneously controlling a transcendent projection in a lower world?

This was both to sabotage the plan to sever the connection between heaven and earth and to promote the so-called "Mountain and Sea Plan" of the Changsheng Guan (longevity concept).

"Aren't they trying to strip away all the extraordinary information in the present world? If, after they execute the Jedi-Sky Project, they discover that all the individuals whose extraordinary information has been stripped away can actually control that stripped-away part of themselves in another form."

"And we can use this method to control the connection and access channels to explore the lower mountain and sea world."

"At the same time, we can also take control of the upper-level world, allowing them to continuously transcend and create more extraordinary factors, so that the things in the lower levels can emerge more quickly."

"Zhou Shentong originally wanted to completely bring the lower world to the upper world, and finally merge the two worlds to recreate the ancient era."

“I can also do it backwards, letting the upper world sink little by little. When everyone gradually sinks into the lower world, wouldn’t that also merge the two worlds into one and recreate everything from ancient times?”

"Moreover, we control this process."

This plan is exactly what Zhang Youzhen wants to implement.

"Project Mountain and Sea!"

When Zhang You announced the plan to the outside world before, he did not provide details, partly because the technology was not yet fully mature.

Secondly, Zhang You did not want too many people to know the details. His initial plan was to bring a large number of people to Dushuo City, control their bodies, and then extract their extraordinary information and exile them to a lower level.

In this way, he could control the life and death of others and make a large number of extraordinary individuals work for him.

However, Zhang You did not expect that he himself would taste the first test subject of the plan he had originally set up.

Zhang You's fleshy head was thrown into the laboratory and then soaked.

Next, with the help of the power and influence of the demon god Xuanming, the extraordinary information was stripped away.

Then, a shadow passed through the Dushuo Ghost Gate and gradually solidified into a physical entity on the other side.

Dushuo City.

A complete "production line" has emerged, just like a new era of technology.

Transporting the body, merging with extraordinary information, and then stripping away the extraordinary information.

Create a new body that can move in the lower levels and pass through the Dushuo Ghost Gate to enter the lower world.

He passed through the Ghost Gate of Dushuo, and the Zhangwei Mountain in the distance had disappeared, having been completely transformed into a black sea at some unknown time.

Perhaps this is also a declaration that the ancient Zhulong has completely perished and can never return.

Meanwhile, Zhang You suddenly woke up.

He stood on a black sea, gazing into the distant void.

suddenly.

He felt himself sinking endlessly into the lower realms. He didn't know how long he had been sinking, but Zhang You saw that immortal mountain and the double-pupiled immortal again.

"Meet the Immortal!"

At this moment, Zhang You completely submitted to the other party.

Compared to their last meeting, the thick fog around them had dissipated further, and their appearance was clearer.

The other person laughed and said, "Scared out of your wits?"

Zhang You said, "The opponent is beyond my ability to defeat, but I can still do things for the immortals. My Mountain and Sea Plan will definitely succeed, and then everything in the lower levels will rise up even faster."

Instead of mentioning that, Chong Tongxian brought up something else.

“I saw it in his eyes; when you called him Dijun, he didn’t react.”

The other person said, "He is not Di Jun, at least not yet!"

Zhang You felt his mouth go dry: "So, he really is Di Jun?"

At this point, the other party brought the topic back to what they had mentioned earlier: "The Mountain and Sea Project you mentioned should be brought forward. Don't forget why we chose you."

Zhang You bowed again: "Zhang You understands."

This experience.

This also led to a tremendous transformation in Zhang You, causing him to further abandon his plans to contend for the present world.

When consciousness returned, and he stood once again behind the Gate of Hell.

Zhang You looked into the distance at the shadows that were rising one by one.

"The world of mountains and seas!"

He would never appear in the mortal world again unless absolutely necessary, as that place was safer for ordinary people than the lower realms.

But it was far too dangerous for him.
-
Nangang City.

Lu Gang arrived at the border and brought Zhao Nange back.

However, upon their return, the two received news that a major problem had arisen in Japan.

Lu Gang: "What's wrong?"

The assistant told him, "The moment Li Jun left, Japan was struck by a massive earthquake that swept across the entire country, and now everything is in complete chaos."

Lu Gang astutely grasped the question: "Was it really an earthquake?"

The assistant shook his head: "It's caused by supernatural factors. Along with the earthquake, some even stranger phenomena and things have appeared, but we are currently observing what exactly is going on."

But right after we finished talking about that topic, the assistant brought up something else, which seemed even more important than this one.

“We think you should come and take a look, Team Leader Lu.”

Lu Gang and Zhao Nange entered a spacious hall where a large group of people were watching and monitoring extraordinary events from all over the world on a bunch of screens.

This is the task of all the staff here: to gather intelligence about the extraordinary world and information about all extraordinary individuals. This work has been going on for a long time.

Upon reaching the innermost part, Lu Gang saw a group of people watching and analyzing the previous battle between Li Jun and Zhang You.

Lu Gang walked over and asked, "Have you analyzed anything? The power Li Jun used, and the problem with Zhang You?"

At this moment, Zhao Nange said, "Li Jun said that Zhang You is not dead. I feel that he is saying that there is someone controlling the other side. Have you found anything?"

A person came out and looked at Lu Gang and Zhao Nange.

"There have indeed been discoveries, but we cannot confirm them."

"Li Jun is probably using the power of the fourth stage, but we currently have too little information. We can't know much based on just this small amount of video footage."

"And at the very moment Zhang You was finally struck by Li Jun, the extraordinary fluctuations and light obscured everything, and we were unable to see what happened in the end."

Lu Gang raised his hand and pushed up his glasses, which now served only a decorative purpose.

"So what did you discover?"

The man pointed to the big screen, and the video of Li Jun and Zhang You fighting on the screen was immediately pushed to the final clip.

In the video.

Zhang fled in panic toward the Ghost Gate of Dushuo, heading toward the golden light that filled the heavens and earth.

Li Jun swung his sword down, and darkness enveloped the heavens and the earth.

Zhang You turned around, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness, then opened his mouth and roared, as if he were saying something.

However, the video only shows the image; you can't hear what he said.

But that's not a problem.

Lu Gang: "What did they say?"

The other party said, "We already know."

Soon, the staff here played a simulation of Zhang You's words, and the voice sounded just like Zhang You's.

“You recognize Yu Jiang, no, Yu Jiang recognizes you.”

"You are an ancient immortal, a true reincarnation of an immortal."

"who are you?"

So far, there's nothing special, but the last two sentences reveal extraordinary information.

"Emperor Jun!"

"You are Di Jun, the Double-Pupil Immortal told me..."

The scene abruptly ends here, with frost freezing the world and black winds ravaging everything.

The other party said, "At the end, he mentioned a double-pupiled immortal. We don't know what he meant, but perhaps it's the behind-the-scenes entity you mentioned."

However, Lu Gang looked at the screen with utmost seriousness and then asked a question.

"No, it's not just that."

"What was his last word, when he called Li Jun's name?"

"Li Jun?"

"No, something doesn't feel right."

"Were you terrified? Your voice cracked. After all, he's really about to die."

At this moment, Zhao Nange looked at the now-black screen and uttered a name.

"It's Di Jun!"

In an instant, everyone got goosebumps.

People outside the area may not know who Di Jun is, but everyone present understands the meaning of this name.

At that moment, Lu Gang also felt a sense of bewilderment.

However, unlike others, a picture appeared before his eyes.
