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

Which great emperors have you met?

Lin Fan asked, his gaze calm and seemingly devoid of emotion, as he quietly looked at the boundary tree in front of him.

The boundary tree remained silent for a moment.

"The Ice Emperor and the Black Tortoise Emperor."

He spoke through the voice of the Great Sage of the Spirit Clan, and as if to confirm his words, a piece of armor covered in frost and a fragment of a sword blade were revealed from among the thousands of branches.

A wisp of imperial aura flowed out from it, carrying an ancient and desolate air, as well as an indescribable sense of tragedy.

The emperor's armor was shattered, and his sword was broken.

"He really did see the Emperor."

On the ground, Qin Ming and the others frowned slightly.

Is this world tree really that ancient?

But why is he still alive even though the Great Emperor is dead?

"Hyotei".

Lin Fan looked at the piece of armor covered in frost. Even after so much time had passed, the bloodstains on the armor had not been wiped away.

That is the blood of alien races from outer space.

With a mere thought, the void where the ice armor was located shattered, and the next moment it appeared in Lin Fan's hand.

He had heard of the Ice Emperor before; the Ice Emperor Scripture was possessed by the Quasi-Emperor Weiyang, and the Sea Clan rose to prominence because of the Ice Emperor's legacy.

However, the last emperor in this world was not him, but the Xuanwu Emperor.

Lin Fan then looked at another object, a fragment of a sword blade, which also came to his front.

"Buzz!"

The fragment trembled slightly, yet it tore apart a section of the sky, revealing a wisp of imperial intent that sent a shiver down the spines of all living beings in the entire world.

This is a terrifying, deadly imperial weapon.

"The Xuanwu Emperor, a terrifying being who truly ended that era, his body was not even able to return to the Xuanhuang Great World, and was completely buried in that starry sky."

Ye Ling said that the history of the human race was buried by the top ten races, but as the strongest members of the top ten races, they actually knew about this history.

Especially those who know about the Xuanwu Emperor.

Lin Fan had also learned about the Xuanwu Emperor from Fei Xue and Chen Wu.

Chenwu followed this great emperor. At that time, all the emperors died in battle, and only Emperor Chenwu stood guard over the Heavenly Gate, facing the entire starry sky alone.

He was the most miserable emperor.

He spent his entire life in battle, leaving home as a child, and upon entering sainthood, he entered the Heavenly Gate of the Human Race. After the passing of one great emperor after another, he defied the heavens and attained the Dao.

They remained there forever.

What a brutal battle it must have been! Even the Xuanwu Emperor's sword was shattered.

Lin Fan gently stroked the blade and sighed softly. Although he was not from that era, he could still feel the hardships that the human race endured.

One emperor after another fell in battle, and countless human warriors followed one after another. What kind of enemy were they fighting against?

However, Lin Fan's gaze narrowed slightly.

A chaotic Daoist aura emerged, enveloping this section of the sword blade. The time in which this section of the sword blade existed was being rewound, going back to the era when the human race fought against the heavens.

In the end, only one figure appeared: a swordsman standing atop the mottled city wall, facing the starry sky alone. In an instant, the scene vanished.

"That's the Xuanwu Emperor!"

Everyone was shocked.

What shocked them even more was Lin Fan's ability to rewind time and bring back the Emperor's figure—what a terrifying skill!

"He might not be weaker than the Xuanwu Emperor."

Tianjizi said that he did not use the Heavenly Secret Technique, nor would he dare to use it on a Great Emperor, as it would be tantamount to courting death for such a person.

It was just a feeling.

He had never met the Xuanwu Emperor, only this one, but this one gave him an indescribable sense of etherealness and control over everything.

"Another one whose body needs to be collected. Human Heavenly Gate, what kind of enemy are you fighting there?"

Lin Fan said, then shook his head and looked at the Ice Emperor Armor Plate.

Similarly, time seemed to rewind on the armor plates, drawing everyone's attention back to them, eager to witness the splendor of this Hyotei.

This time, however, unlike before, there was no figure of the Ice Emperor on the armor plate; instead, there was nothing at all.

It was as if the figure at the end had been erased by something.

The flashback shattered. Lin Fan, holding the ice armor, looked at the broken piece of the sword blade, remained silent for a moment, and then smiled.

"Looks like I've found you."

He said it casually, but no one knew what he meant.

As Chen Wu said before his death, Emperor Weiyang shouldn't have died so young. Someone as talented as Weiyang would definitely have become an emperor.

But she died.

Chenwu was certain that someone had killed her, and his dying wish was to find the person who killed his sister.

It now seems that the truth is not far off.

At this moment, the Great Sage of the Spirit Clan spoke.

"This is my stuff, give it back."

It was still the Spirit Clan's boundary tree that spoke, demanding that Lin Fan return the armor pieces and sword fragments. Ye Ling and the others all turned their attention to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan glanced at the Boundary Tree and immediately took two items.

"There is also a tree in my yard. I named it Bodhi. It has the ability to devour the life force of other living beings."

"The more vital a creature is, the greater the help it can provide."

Lin Fan said calmly.

His simple words brought a moment of silence to the entire world.

"You are the most resilient creature I have ever seen."

Lin Fan spoke again, a smile even appearing on his face, while the Spirit Clan Great Sage standing among the branches changed his expression drastically.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Fan's gaze suddenly fell on him.

With a single glance, the Great Sage of the Spirit Clan was annihilated, body and soul destroyed.

"Spirit Clan World Tree, come with me to a place."

He looked at the sky-covering boundary tree and said calmly. Then, the space of this world froze, and all the swaying branches and leaves stopped moving at that moment.

The boundary tree trembled, and the entire world shook in response.

Lin Fan simply watched him quietly, then stretched out one hand, his five fingers forming a world within him, reaching out to grasp the boundary tree that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

"You're insane! I am the Root of the World!"

A voice rang out in this world.

Lin Fan smiled slightly.

"So you can talk."

His hand did not stop; the enormous boundary tree was shrinking little by little beneath his palm, about to fall into that palm.

"I am the root of this world. This world is flawed and can no longer attain the Dao to become an Emperor. I am the only being capable of repairing this world. Do you intend to sever the cultivation path of all living beings in this world?"

"Even the Ice Emperor and the Black Tortoise Emperor dare not touch me."

He said, but for the first time, he panicked when he saw the white-clad human whose expression had remained unchanged throughout.

He noticed that Lin Fan didn't seem to care much about what he was saying.

Instead, he cared more about the trees in his yard.

"I am the World Tree!"

He roared, and Lin Fan shook his head, completely absorbing it into his palm.

Then he looked at the countless people who were watching him.

"This world is indeed flawed, making it very difficult to attain enlightenment and become an emperor."

Lin Fan's words confirmed the Boundary Tree's statement, causing everyone to tremble. This meant that the Boundary Tree truly possessed the ability to repair the world.

"But he's not needed to mend the world."

Lin Fan spoke again, his words calm yet carrying a will that could shake the heavens. Even the Heavenly Dao trembled, casting endless rays of light upon Lin Fan.

"I am enough!"
