All heavens, let's begin with the Divine Elephant's Prison-Suppressing Power!

Chapter 138 The Only Two Moral Benchmarks on the Other Shore!
"Human Emperor Sword?"

Yang An was familiar with the sword, but he was curious as to why it had ended up in his hands.

Originally, this sword would have been in Gao Lan's hands. But as the final calamity descended, humanity was brought to rule the heavens, fighting for a glimmer of hope for the human race.

But now it has fallen directly from the sky and landed right in front of him?

"The Emperor's Sword descended from the heavens. Is this an acknowledgment of my will?" Yang An grasped the Emperor's Sword, which was engraved with mountains and rivers on one side and the sun, moon and stars on the other. It was a magnificent sword with a dazzling golden light, and he drew it out.

The moment it was drawn, countless images flashed before my eyes: ancient ruins, the mournful cries of humanity, the extreme rage of the swordsmith, and his unwavering determination to bring humanity back to the right path.

The Human Emperor! The Human Emperor!
Yang An was suddenly immersed in the memory; it was the most tragic period in human history.

In ancient times, the Heavenly Court collapsed, demons wreaked havoc on the land, evil spirits roamed the earth, and humanity struggled to survive, crying out in despair.

Finally, the Human Emperor was born. He forged a sword on the Dragon Platform, slaying gods above, cleaving demons below, and eliminating monsters in the middle. He overcame all obstacles and hardships, and ushered in an era belonging to the human race.

During his reign, he confronted the Demon Saint until the latter passed away.

Soon after, because he wanted the human race to become the eternal protagonist and wanted to destroy the demon race, he became estranged from the moral celestial being and the demon emperor who supported him. He was besieged by many other beings and passed away with only a sigh.

The Human Emperor's Sword has always carried the will of the Human Emperor, rising and falling throughout human history. Very few people throughout history have obtained it, but all of them are true Holy Emperors.

"I... am the Holy Emperor?" Yang An reflected on his actions.

Kill! Kill! Kill until rivers of blood flow! Kill until the world is plunged into darkness!
More like a demon emperor than a holy emperor, he has a perfect grasp of the aura. His reputation in the real world is rapidly declining, and he is almost universally hated and regarded as an invader from outside the realm.

The Emperor's Sword hummed softly, its light clear, and a scene unfolded, seemingly reflecting the Emperor's entire life.

Slay the gods above, cleave the demons below, and vanquish the monsters in the middle!

Despite the arduous journey, they led humanity to rise again!

This history is not just a simple statement. The number of demons and monsters who died at the hands of the Human Emperor was almost endless. Wherever the sword light passed, heads rolled and blood flowed like rivers.

"The Human Emperor is destined to kill more than any other emperor!" Yang An almost couldn't help but clap his hands. He had thought the Human Emperor was the kind of person who loved people without limits, but it turned out that this was the kind of Holy Emperor he was.

With the Demon Saint passing away, the Human Emperor truly intended to exterminate the demon race.

How to ensure that the human race is the eternal protagonist? The answer is naturally to kill every single demon, evil spirit, and evil god!

"It seems a bit too extreme."

No wonder the Heavenly Venerable of Morality and the Demon Emperor are alienated from him; judging by this method of killing, the will of the Other Shore is already within the Human Emperor's target.

Indeed, that is true. The ultimate dream of the Human Emperor is for everyone to be like a dragon, hoping that all living beings can have a glimmer of hope and not be a dream bubble under the will of Heaven. Which other shore can sit idly by and watch this happen? Naturally, they will be surrounded and killed.

"Are you willing to carry on the will of the Human Emperor, overcome all obstacles, and lead all living beings through the final tribulation?" The Human Emperor's sword shone brightly, as if a voice echoed, questioning Yang An's true heart.

"Why not."

Yang An casually wielded the Human Emperor Sword, creating golden goblets that carried the belief in humanity, passed down like sparks.

The Golden Book of the Human Emperor

The instant he responded, all the mysteries of the Human Emperor's inheritance surged toward him. What is the Human Emperor? He is the one who bears the responsibility of all living beings. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. This method condenses the precious bodies of all living beings and can also advance one to the golden body of the Human Emperor!
The latter is the unification of the human race in the real world. Only by gaining the recognition of all living beings can it be formed and achieve something. Within the human race, there is no one who will respond.

The power of the emperor does not come from unification, but from recognition.

"Human Emperor, Human Emperor." Yang An exclaimed with emotion as he comprehended the Human Emperor's Golden Book, the creator's painstaking efforts almost palpable before him.

The Human Emperor and Empress, the only two moral exemplars on the other shore!
Compared to those great figures on the other side of the world, or those who manipulate fate, these two are truly rare, possessing boundless love and compassion for all living beings.

The Human Emperor forged swords at the Dragon Terrace, dedicating his life to the human race. Even before his death, he was still worried about the final calamity and was forging the Ark of Doomsday.

Houtu possessed great love. Upon first reaching the other shore, she pitied the suffering of all living beings. After her death, her soul scattered and she had no future. She sacrificed herself to become the Seal of Reincarnation, thus completing the cycle of reincarnation.

Yang An lacked such great love; he was incapable of sacrificing himself for the sake of all living beings.

However, he also has a compassionate heart. He cannot sacrifice himself for it, but he has the strength to do so. He does not mind taking action to massacre the Southern Wilderness and end the chaos.

Is there a powerful figure planning this land?

Of course he has them, but what does it have to do with him? He's carefree and does whatever he wants.

Yang An wanted the people of this land to live a slightly better life, so he took action without thinking.

But this is precisely what earned the approval of the Human Emperor Sword. Purely dedicating oneself to humanity is not enough; one must also possess sufficient strength. Yang An may have said he was indifferent, but simply doing this casually was already quite remarkable.

Don't look at what you think, look at what you do.

In this world today, who can rival Yang An's actions?
Even as an outsider, he was enough to impress the Emperor's Sword.

Of course, there was also the Mad Emperor Gao Lan, but at that time his fate was uncertain, so it's not surprising that Yang An snatched him away.

No, this is not hijacking.

The Human Emperor's Sword is the legacy of the Human Emperor, the stabilizing force of humanity, protecting the entire human race. Yang An is human, and considers himself human; he possesses this ability and this heart, so it's not surprising that he has earned its recognition. "This sword... is it?"

Qi Zhengyan sensed the commotion in the courtyard, pushed open the door and entered, his face immediately filled with shock.

One side is engraved with mountains and rivers, the other with the sun, moon and stars, and the vast history of humankind unfolds in the middle. The sword, with its faint golden light, inspires a sense of submission in all who behold it.

"The Emperor's Sword?!" he exclaimed, almost in disbelief.

In the future memories given by Yang An, Qi Zhengyan had seen this sword, but it should have been in the hands of Gao Lan of Northern Zhou, not here.

That's true, the future has already changed.

How could Senior Yang An be unworthy of this sword? Just look at all the things he has done, the Emperor's Sword should rightfully fall into his hands.

Without a nation, without royal blood, how can one mobilize the power of the masses?

This is hardly a requirement. The laws of the Human Emperor are far more than these. Qi Zhengyan was genuinely delighted, his eyes gleaming. "With the Human Emperor's Sword, Senior... oh no, Your Majesty the Holy King, you have both laws and principles!"

"This world rightfully belongs to your hands!"

"You shall be the human emperor!"

"Hahaha!" Yang An laughed loudly after hearing this, not yet realizing that Qi Zhengyan had such rhetoric.

“Every word comes from the heart, there is absolutely no falsehood.” Qi Zhengyan’s eyes were bright, he truly believed it. “The Southern Jin is incompetent, the Northern Zhou is a bunch of scoundrels, the grasslands are tyrannical, and the Western Regions are all unworthy of human beings. The world has suffered for too long!”

"We hope that Your Majesty will unify the country as soon as possible!"

The object symbolizing the succession of the Human Emperor is in His Majesty's hands. Who would dare to label it as demonic or accuse it of being an invader from beyond the realm?

The Emperor could never be wrong, so who is wrong?
It goes without saying!
"Then so be it!" Yang An smiled faintly, his thoughts naturally changing. He had previously joked that 'he came here to be an emperor,' but now it had become a reality.

"Go to the Great Jin and Northern Zhou!"

With a single slash of the Emperor's Sword, Yang An cleaved the void and arrived directly in the Zhao Clan's capital.

He has no legendary characteristics, yet he is omnipresent. But the Human Emperor Sword does. Even though it has not yet been fully revived, it still possesses its own divine power, governed by the principles of humanity, and is ubiquitous.

There's no need to worry about the Southern Wilderness for now. There are thousands of humanoid true qi suppressing it, and Qi Zhengyan is in charge of the central affairs. Even if the government is peaceful and the people are harmonious, at least no one will starve.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time can be beheaded. The bloody suppression and the rolling heads have long since brought many people to their senses.

This is not an ancient society devoid of extraordinary powers, where there is room for people to secretly cause trouble. Yang An would not tolerate anyone who dares to disobey him; anyone who makes a small mistake can simply be beheaded and replaced with someone more obedient.

Thousands upon thousands of humanoid true qi, each with strength nearly at the half-step Dharma Body level, dispersed, could suppress the entire world!

Kill, kill, kill until the policy is implemented, there's absolutely no problem!
One person alone can suppress the world!
In an even more extreme scenario, one could even brainwash and manipulate people's minds to maintain absolute rule, but Yang An didn't do that, so there's no need for such measures.

The atmosphere in the Great Jin court was oppressive at this moment.

"The Southern Wilderness has been ravaged by bloodshed, and the common people have suffered greatly. That outsider harbors ill intentions. I beg Your Majesty to decree that he be listed as a demon and that this be announced to the world." A patriarch of a powerful family who had suffered heavy losses in the Yang'an purge shouted sternly.

"That's right, whatever happens within our Real World is fine, but we cannot tolerate the evil spirits from beyond the realm!"

"The fall of the Blood Sea Rakshasa and the annihilation of the Gu God, though with their negative impact, still belong to our Real World and should not have died at the hands of the extraterrestrial demons! They are far more wicked than the Nine Paths of Evil!" someone earnestly advised.

Many ministers frowned and kept their distance from this man.

What nonsense!

If the people of the Southern Wilderness heard this, they would be tempted to kill him. It's easy for him to talk when he's not the one suffering.

"Ahem, ahem, I am aware of what you ministers have said. Let's put this matter aside for now... Whether something is righteous or demonic is not a matter of opinion, and there is no news from the Northern Zhou either. We should not make enemies unnecessarily." The Emperor of Great Jin coughed, feeling disgusted.

These people are putting the imperial court in a precarious position, rashly offending a Dharma Body, or are they going to first slay the Blood Sea Rakshasa and then destroy the Gu God, a peerless powerhouse?

Whoever wants to do it can do it.

Even with divine weapons, grand formations, King Qi, and two half-step Dharma bodies from the royal family uncles, if the enemy were to storm into the capital, it might not be safe.

The person in charge of the Cui family remained calm, keeping his eyes down, his nose down, his mouth down, and his mind down, without making a sound.

The number of Dharma bodies in the Great Jin Dynasty is extremely small. It is not considered an evil path. There are only two righteous ones: one is Abbot Kongwen of Shaolin Temple, who has attained the "Golden Body of the Arhat Who Subdues Dragons"; the other is Cui Qinghe, the head of the Cui family of Pingjin, who has attained the "Dharma Body of Ziyang".

The people of the Cui family in front of them naturally knew the terror of the Dharma Body, so why offend them? These clamoring heads of noble families and ministers were just talking; in reality, they could only swallow their anger.

"After all, that's the Dharma body!"

Just as the head of the Cui family and Sima Shi were about to speak up and persuade the officials to calm down, a pale golden sword light descended from the sky.

"Boom!!" The palace was protected by great formations and divine weapons, but it seemed so fragile under this sword, unable to stop it in the slightest. The entire palace was directly torn open.

As the sword flashed, the man who had just spoken rudely was instantly beheaded.
