I picked up the scattered attributes

However, even the most powerful emperor in the world cannot escape the shackles of lifespan.

Before this, the oppressive aura of the emperors had shaken the world, and even a ferocious innate demon god like the Black Emperor had to temporarily avoid his sharp edge, often only showing himself once every tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.

These more than one million years were the most prosperous and powerful era for the divine kingdom!

From the highest heavens to the deepest netherworld, all the heavens and the universe are under our control.

Even the nineteenth ancestor, who came from a foreign land, had to temporarily avoid the limelight and obediently play the role of his god over a million years.

In the eyes of the world, they were just a group of innate demon gods from the ten lands, shrouded in the shadow of the Nether Emperor. Even though they were innate beings nurtured by the River Styx, they were not much different from ordinary gods and demons.

However, when the first Emperor-level being reached the end of his lifespan and died, the situation finally changed.

People suddenly realized that even such a powerful emperor-level being was not an eternal existence.

They too will grow old and die.

For the first time, the world learned that the lifespan limit for an Emperor-level being was approximately two million years.

more importantly……

The emperors who are still alive are clearly aware of this as well.

They possess boundless power and authority, making them arguably the most powerful beings in the world. Wherever they go, no one can stand against them. Even the vast Chaos Sea can be temporarily calmed by their combined efforts!

But they will still grow old, and they will still die.

"How can this be?"

"The world is so prosperous and beautiful, yet there is still so much that I have not seen!"

On the surface, everything appears normal.

But in secret, they mobilized countless resources, searching high and low for all sorts of elixirs, magic arts, and secret techniques, all in an effort to prolong their lives and postpone that day.

However, as time goes by, the second Emperor-level being is about to reach the end of his life.

The era in which this Emperor-level cultivator attained enlightenment can even be traced back to before the establishment of the Divine Kingdom. As one of the elders of the Divine Kingdom, even His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor personally went out to find various divine medicines and precious herbs to prolong his life!

However, there are very few powerful medicines that can be effective against Emperor-level beings.

The great medicine that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor found only extended his life by forty to fifty thousand years. Then, this frail and aged emperor finally passed away on his sickbed.

On that day, the heavens wept.

After that, a rift gradually appeared between the emperors who were originally of one mind.

Some of the Emperor-level beings were still young, while others were already past the halfway mark of their lives. Seeing two Emperor-level beings die, no matter how unwilling they were to believe it, they had no choice but to start making plans for the future.

Those who become emperors are often those who take life and death lightly.

However, for any such existence, there are also many people who are deeply obsessed with it!

If there were no strong convictions, how could one have come this far?

They possessed immense power and boundless authority, so when faced with life and death, they were left with only one obsession—to prolong their lives!

Even more alarming, some people have come up with an even more terrifying, yet more real, problem.

As we all know, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is a being born after birth, not a god or demon born in the first place.

So one day, will His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, who is incomparably majestic and reigns supreme in the eyes of the world, also grow old?

When that day comes, what will become of the kingdom of God and the mountains and rivers of all worlds?

Without a doubt, this is a rather terrifying idea.

However, once it arises, it can no longer be suppressed, like the most terrible inner demon in the world, sweeping through the hearts of all emperors!

That was in that year.

His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor suddenly announced that he wished to establish a completely new system of life and death by utilizing the existing natural cycle of heaven and earth, so that life and death would have a basis, a place to go when alive, and a place to return to when dead!

As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.

Some astute Emperor-level beings have already realized this...

"His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's lifespan... is probably coming to an end."

Once this was realized, people's emotions became even more agitated.

The ancient divine kingdom, which has ruled the world for millions of years, still appears to suppress the world on the surface, but in the shadows, terrible currents are surging, and some innate gods and demons that disappeared for more than a million years have begun to move about the world again.

If this were hundreds of thousands of years ago, any unrecognized innate god or demon who dared to act recklessly outside would inevitably suffer a terrible blow from the divine kingdom.

But this time, a primordial god or demon has made a discovery...

The divine kingdom seemed to tacitly approve of their existence and did not shout for them to be killed as before!

"His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is old, has no heart for governing the world, and is obsessed with immortality."

"The reason for releasing the innate gods and demons is to find the secret of immortality from them!"

Such rumors began to emerge at some point, spreading far and wide, and growing increasingly rampant.

More than 100,000 years later, suddenly an emperor-level figure rebelled.

"The throne of Heaven takes turns, and today it's my turn!"

He stormed the realm of gods and challenged the Heavenly Emperor.

Graduate.

On that day, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor appeared in the heavens, his aura filling the world. He was as unparalleled and peerless as ever, suppressing all the restless thoughts in everyone's hearts.

People finally remembered the former majesty of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.

For a while after that, things were peaceful.

Unfortunately, the seeds of unease have already been sown. As time continues to pass, the seeds will eventually take root and sprout, eventually tearing through iron and stone and breaking through the soil!

A mysterious and unknown place in the universe.

The fog is surging.

"I could sense that he was trying his best to postpone his death."

"His strength is indeed terrifying. He may only be one step away from the legendary immortal realm. Otherwise, he could not have suppressed his own essence and energy to prevent the death energy from leaking out and being noticed by outsiders."

"Unfortunately, he had spent too much time and energy governing the world and purging evil, so much so that he did not take that final step when he was at the youngest and strongest."

"Now, his cultivation and realm are sufficient, and his magical power is so strong that he can be called a celestial being. Ordinary emperors are not even a match for him."

"The only problem is that he is now in his twilight years, and his vital energy is gradually depleting, which can no longer support him to continue breaking through and stepping into the realm above the Emperor level!"

For the nineteen Dao Ancestors who were the origin of the strange phenomena, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Kingdom had indeed exceeded their expectations time and time again.

Even they had to change their plans and extend the waiting time time and time again.

This wait lasted for over a million years.

"If things continue to remain calm, he should be able to hold out for quite some time. Perhaps during this period, he may even achieve another breakthrough!"

"We need to create some trouble for him, incite more Emperor-level rebellions, force him to be distracted by suppressing them, accelerate the consumption of his own vital energy, and hasten his death!"

Shortly after that, a second Emperor-level being appeared who challenged His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.

This person's name is...

Flying Immortal Emperor.

……

Chapter 1242

His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor remains as powerful as ever.

His figure emerged from the heavens above, and with a mere gesture, he easily inflicted a severe injury on the Flying Immortal Emperor.

On the verge of death, the Flying Immortal Emperor made a solemn vow never to set foot in the Divine Kingdom again, which gave him a glimmer of hope and ultimately saved him from death.

After that, the Flying Immortal Emperor disappeared.

Among all the emperors, there were even more unusual events.

"I see."

For over a million years, Fengxia never left, but rather acted as an observer from beyond the heavens, watching the changes in the divine kingdom.

He saw the prosperity of the divine kingdom, the power of the divine kingdom, its dominion over the world, roaming the chaos, the heavens and the earth were all the territory of the divine kingdom!

Similarly, he also saw the decline of the divine kingdom, and as the emperors grew old, a terrible storm was brewing.

Only on very rare occasions will he personally intervene.

However, Feng Xia was quite cautious and did not attract much attention, nor did he take any drastic measures. Instead, he ensured that the trajectory of changes in the world would follow his vision and lead to the future he desired.

Before this, Feng Xia had indeed hesitated and struggled with the decision.

In this era, he had few rivals.

If they were to act freely, they could easily sweep away everything, and even establishing a new divine kingdom... would not be impossible!

But he finally endured it.

"Ultimately, what I want to save... is my old friends."
