After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

"The Hyotei Manual is in his hands."

Suddenly, a sage spoke, and everyone's expression froze.

Go and take the Hyotei Sutra from that person?

Even the four quasi-emperors fell silent.

Even if it's just a memory, it's still the ancestral emperor of the human race!

"The path of cultivation is inherently against the will of Heaven. Now that the Imperial Scripture is before you, are you willing to simply give up this opportunity?"

Some people say that, however, he has no intention of going.

After all, the deaths of those people in the courtyard were still fresh in their minds, and they didn't even know how those people died.

"Click!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and everyone trembled.

Then they saw the teapot float up on its own, pour itself a cup of tea, and then the teacup flew into the hands of the person on the recliner.

The man reached out and took the teacup, then casually took a sip.

The scene was so realistic that they could even clearly hear the sound of teacups clashing together and smell the rich aroma of tea.

Is this truly a photograph capturing a memory?

This thought inexplicably arose in some people's minds.

"I think we should forget about it. The Ancestral Emperor's Dojo is right here, so we can come anytime. Besides, we've already memorized most of the Ice Emperor Scripture."

"It's not too late to come next time."

This was the suggestion from the quasi-emperor who was to be buried together, and the other three quasi-emperors all nodded in agreement.

The scene before them was truly terrifying; a horrific being that should have been dead for millions of years was actually drinking tea right in front of them.

Even the Hyotei Manual requires a certain lifespan to obtain.

"Let's go."

When the quasi-Emperor Hong Fu spoke, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They were truly terrified.

Then a group of people carefully walked towards the courtyard gate, afraid of disturbing him even if it was just to leave a memory.

Just as they were about to step out of the yard, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Are you just leaving like that? Won't you take a closer look?"

The voice was soft, like an elder speaking to a group of younger people; no particular emotion could be detected, yet it sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

Turning their heads, they saw the person on the recliner looking at them.

He held a book in one hand, dressed in a white cloth shirt, and had a faint smile on his face as he looked at them, as if he were harmless.

He's alive!

At this moment, even the four quasi-emperors were trembling.

One of the Great Sages couldn't help but try to take that final step out of the courtyard, but no matter what he did, he couldn't take that step.

"Few people come to my yard. I never expected so many guests to come after just this short time away."

"Since you're here, why rush to leave?"

Lin Fan stood up, and with just a simple movement, they seemed to see a vast figure shattering heaven and earth and rising up from all directions.

Even a wisp of breath made their souls tremble.

Your Majesty!

This is a truly living emperor!

They've been scammed!

There's no sign of a human emperor's lineage being revived here; a true emperor clearly resides here.

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

In an instant, everyone knelt down, leaving only one demon quasi-emperor standing still, stubbornly refusing to bend over.

Lin Fan smiled faintly.

"I've been saying I wanted to go see the demon race for a while, but I never had the chance. Now I can finally go."

With just a simple sentence, the demon race quasi-emperor trembled, his body uncontrollably kneeling on the ground, all the meridians in his body shattered.

The people around couldn't help but tremble.

This is the Great Emperor; with a single thought, he can decide their life or death.

"Even if you are an emperor, my demon race is not afraid of you. My demon race also has an emperor, and he is an emperor who returned from the starry sky."

"A local emperor like you has no idea how vast the starry sky is."

The demon race quasi-emperor said, and his words startled the quasi-emperors Hong Fu, Tong Zang, and Xing Chen, who were standing beside him. The demon race actually had an emperor.

Lin Fan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled.

"Returned from beyond the stars, is that it?"

"Then we definitely have to go and see it."

He said this, then flicked his finger slightly, and the demon race quasi-emperor froze, turning into ashes and dissipating right before the eyes of the group of people.

Quasi-Emperors, annihilated with a flick of the finger!

A group of people lowered their bodies, kowtowed to the ground, and dared not raise their heads at all.

"The Burial Clan, I've actually always been somewhat interested in you."

One sentence made the Tongzang Quasi-Emperor tremble all over. He looked up at Lin Fan with trembling eyes, and with just one glance, he felt his soul freeze at that moment.

It was like when he was still in the Body Refinement Realm looking up at the Saint Realm, so high that he couldn't look directly at it, like a mayfly gazing at the sky.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before after becoming a quasi-emperor.

"Your Majesty, what interest do you have in the Burial Clan?"

He said tremblingly, his heart filled with nothing but fear.

Lin Fan smiled.

"The Burial Clan, it is said that they are reincarnated through corpses, existing between life and death. I want to know whether you live more or die more."

Lin Fan said, reaching out his hand, and instantly drained all the life force from the entire body of the Quasi-Emperor Tongzang.

Emperor Tongzang stared at this scene in disbelief, the light in his eyes extinguished. He had died just like that. Lin Fan shook his head slightly.

"It seems we should have more children. After all, they are living beings, and once their life force is gone, they will naturally die."

The simple words caused the still-living Quasi-Emperor Xingchen and Quasi-Emperor Hongfu to tremble involuntarily.

"The Star Clan is renowned for its star-gazing skills, capable of observing the heavens and measuring the earth. Why didn't you foresee that you would face this calamity today?"

"Or perhaps you already have a solution, and I'd like to see it."

As he spoke, a beam of ethereal sword light slashed down at him.

His pupils widened, and a starry sky appeared in his eyes.

"I have no way to solve this..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was cleaved in two by a single sword strike. The vast starlight surging around him was useless; this sword strike severed all his life force.

The Quasi-Emperor of the Star Clan is also dead.

Then Lin Fan looked at the last quasi-emperor, Hong Fu.

This is the quasi-emperor most similar to the human race, the Realm Race. Unlike other races, they have never thought of exterminating the human race, but rather of replacing it.

"The lineage of the Void Emperor."

Lin Fan said that with just one glance, the Hong Fu Quasi-Emperor felt as if he had seen through everything about her, as if her memories had been scanned.

"I comprehended the myriad paths, and based on the myriad paths, I created the Chaos Great Dao. Then, I merged with the Black Hole Alien Spirit, analyzed its essence, stepped out of the rules, and became a creator."

"But there are still three main roads that are not yet fully visible."

The simple words made the quasi-Emperor Hong Fu tremble all over, and she couldn't help but look at Lin Fan.

Enlightenment!

Just how terrifying is this?

Black hole aliens, what kind of existence are they?

What do "rules" and "creation" refer to?

"The first is the Great Dao of Destiny. People in the world say that destiny is determined by heaven and earth, but even though I have transcended the Dao of Heaven, I still cannot see where destiny comes from."

What is destiny?

Lin Fan said that fate is unpredictable and even he has not fully understood it.

"The second is the Great Way of Time. The long years and countless vicissitudes can obliterate all existence. Even the existence of creation, which is supposed to transcend the rules, is trapped in this long river of time."

"Me too."

Upon reaching the Creation Realm, he could feel the invisible shackles that lay across the hearts of all living beings, the power of time constantly eroding them.

Finally, there is space.

At this point, Lin Fan looked at the Quasi-Emperor Hong Fu.
