Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

"Let those who disregard the bigger picture make some contributions to humanity as well."

Gu Changjin finished speaking.

The atmosphere in the starry sky froze instantly.

Those quasi-emperors who maintained the encirclement all looked increasingly grim.

Now that things have come to this, whether they regret it or not, they have no choice but to take action.

Are we really going to abandon the Imperial Weapon and wait to be devoured by Gu Changjin?

"Let's do it!"

The quasi-emperor in the green robe roared in anger.

Dozens of quasi-emperor auras erupted simultaneously.

Imperial weapons, quasi-imperial weapons, imperial edicts, and forbidden artifacts sealed away by various powers for countless years were all revived at this moment.

The vast imperial might swept across the Netherworld Starfield, and several imperial weapons echoed each other, as if one after another great emperor of the past had crossed the ages and descended back to the mortal world.

On the other side, the more than thirty quasi-emperors who had already pledged allegiance to Gu Changjin also drew their weapons.

However, their movements were noticeably slower.

Some people have only awakened the Quasi-Emperor weapon, but have yet to unleash it.

Some people exuded an astonishing aura, yet their steps remained rooted to the spot.

Several others quietly retreated.

Ultimately, although they chose to stand on Gu Changjin's side, they hadn't truly grasped the situation.

If Gu Changjin is powerful, then they will naturally be willing to cheer for the Emperor.

However, if dozens of quasi-emperors cooperated with imperial weapons, they could really severely injure Gu Changjin.

Then don't blame them for reconsidering their stance.

"kill!"

The quasi-emperor in green robes formed hand seals.

An ancient painting, imbued with the aura of the Great Emperor, suddenly unfolded.

The other powerful individuals also stopped hesitating.

Dozens of attacks, each powerful enough to shatter a star field, simultaneously rained down on Gu Changjin.

The imperial light illuminated the darkness, causing all things to tremble violently. Several ancient stars that had long lost their vitality even deviated from their original trajectories under the dissipating pressure.

Gu Changjin stood still, but took only one step forward, and the darkness behind him suddenly unfolded.

Those newly revived imperial weapons were completely shrouded in darkness before they even had a chance to truly display their power.

The imperial soldiers and deities were terrified and revived, and the emperor's decrees burned wildly.

Ancient figures attempted to materialize from the imperial weapon.

But it's of no use.

In the depths of darkness, the Dao figures of the three supreme beings of the forbidden zones simultaneously opened their eyes.

Countless pale hands reached out from all directions, grabbing the imperial weapons, decrees, and the roaring quasi-emperors, dragging them all into the darkness.

In less than three breaths, the starry sky fell silent again.

Dozens of quasi-emperors, several imperial weapons, and all the resources brought by various major forces.

They've all vanished!

Those powerful individuals who were originally prepared to act slowly and carefully, to assess the situation before making a move, were all frozen in place.

Some people had only completed half of their hand seals, while others had just taken out their quasi-emperor weapons.

Several neutral quasi-emperors who were already preparing to retreat beyond the star field dared not even lift their feet any further.

Three breaths?

Nearly half of the top human powerhouses are gone just like that?

Gu Changjin hadn't even truly unleashed his own Great Dao.

Is the gap between an Emperor and a Quasi-Emperor really this large?

While everyone was in shock.

The "Burial Heaven Devouring Dao Scripture" within Gu Changjin's body has begun to operate.

The cultivation, lifespan, and Dao insights of dozens of Quasi-Emperors, along with the Imperial Dao essence contained in several Imperial Weapons, surged into his body like a torrent.

The Dao Fruit trembled slightly. With so many top-level experts falling, the power structure of the human race underwent a tremendous change.

One by one, the origins of the world were stirred, eventually condensing into ten pure white Dao principles.

It's another case of ten paths returning to one principle!

Gu Changjin had already obtained ten Dao.

Now, all of them together make exactly twenty.

At the same time, the newly attained Immortal Realm also climbed upwards once again.

boom!

A far more powerful aura than before swept across the starry sea.

Mid-stage Immortal in the Mortal Realm!

Those quasi-emperors who chose to stand beside Gu Changjin were taken aback at first.

Immediately afterwards, the hesitation, wariness, and observation in his eyes vanished completely.

Instead, there was relief and fervor.

You made the right bet!

They really made the right bet!

The stronger the emperor, the more benefits those who chose to follow him earliest will receive in the future.

Moreover, the dozens of quasi-emperors who just died represented imperial clans, holy lands, and supreme lineages.

People are dead, imperial weapons are gone, but the star fields, resources and heritage they occupied remain!

Who will fill such a huge power vacuum?

Naturally, it's those who understand the greater good and are willing to follow the Emperor!

The Old Ancestor of the Crimson Sun was the first to react.

He strode forward and bowed to Gu Changjin.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your further advancement in cultivation!"

"Those who disregard the greater good of humanity and attempt to obstruct the Emperor's extermination of the alien races all deserve to die!"

The other powerful individuals also realized what was happening.

"The Emperor's divine might is unparalleled!"

"We are willing to follow the Emperor, sweep away the alien races, and restore the order of the universe!"

"Humanity should regard the Emperor as its supreme ruler!"

Gu Changjin looked at everyone, a smile appearing on his face.

He originally intended to devour everyone and then transform Xuanheng Ancient Star into a forbidden zone for life.

The plan can't keep up with the changes.

Who would have thought that there were so many righteous and insightful people among the human race?

Moreover, upon closer examination, directly devouring them would only yield a small amount of cultivation points.

However, keeping these people around allows them to manage the territory, wage wars, and gather resources for them.

Besides, you can never have too many disguises. You can be the Lord of the Forbidden Zone of Life, or the Sovereign of Humanity.

Two weeks later, a message spread throughout the entire universe.

The current emperor established the human race's imperial court in the Dark Horn Star Region and called himself the Emperor.

More than 30 top human forces, including the Chiyang Dao Sect and the Jiuxiao Sacred Land, immediately announced their participation.

The newly established Imperial Court already possessed dozens of quasi-emperors and three complete Imperial Weapons.

Furthermore, an invincible emperor is in charge, and no one can stop them.

The first order issued after the establishment of the Imperial Court was to sweep away the foreign tribes.

A war that swept across the universe ensued.

Gu Changjin personally oversaw operations at the Imperial Court.

His darkness shrouded one alien star system after another.

After the darkness passed, the most fiercely resisting groups fell completely silent.

Those foreign races who were willing to submit were marked with the seal of the God's Court and became slaves who mined resources and guarded the borders for the human race.

The powerful figures of the Imperial Court followed closely behind, taking over star fields, establishing teleportation arrays, and relocating the human race. Occasionally, some human forces were also affected.

However, according to the records released by the Imperial Court, they were all necessary sacrifices made for the rise of the human race.

ten years.

The Imperial Court occupies 30% of the vast universe.

Thirty years.

The last imperial legacy of the alien race was devoured by Gu Changjin himself.

Fifty years.

No other race in the vast universe dares to challenge humanity.

The first hundred years.

Humanity's footprints are found throughout the vast universe.

The once high and mighty alien royal family was brought down to the dust, while the human race became the only core race in the entire universe.

All holy sites, imperial clans, and supreme lineages must accept the commands of the Imperial Court.

Where the imperial court is located, all races bow their heads and all paths submit.

And Gu Changjin became the supreme ruler of the entire human race.

Emperor!

Later historical records state that...

After the Heavenly Emperor Era, the Nine Heavenly Venerables initiated the Heavenly Venerable Era.

The Celestial Venerable has departed, and the era of the Great Emperor has begun.

And the moment Gu Changjin established the Imperial Court and swept across the starry sea.

The era of the Great Emperor, which lasted for countless years.

It's completely over.

A new era has begun.

The Human Era!

This was the most brilliant century for the human race.

It is also an absolute golden age that has never appeared in the entire history of the universe.

But just as the imperial court's prestige reached its peak...

The Emperor has disappeared.

No decree was left behind, nor was a successor designated.

But one day, the aura that had suppressed the universe for a hundred years suddenly disappeared.

What will become of the Imperial Court in the future?

What kind of struggle will the various human factions engage in over the vacated power?

Gu Changjin no longer cared.

Over the course of a hundred years, he devoured countless powerful alien races, seized the destiny of the entire universe, and personally ushered in a new era.

Such a tremendous change in destiny caused the Dao Fruit to once again condense into the Thirty Dao Returning to One Principle.

Adding to the previous twenty, there are now a total of fifty!

This is an extremely huge gain! Even if they return now, they'll still be rolling in money.

At the same time, his cultivation level also reached the late stage of the Mortal Immortal realm during his century of battles.

At the edge of the vast universe, before an ancient rift surrounded by celestial light.

Gu Changjin stood with his hands behind his back.

Inside the crack, there are no rules of heaven and earth in the normal sense.

It's like another layer of space suspended high above the vast universe.

Once inside, one will completely lose contact with the vast universe below.

No wonder none of those supreme beings and quasi-emperors at the ninth level of the forbidden zones were able to return.

In the future that Gu Changjin foresaw.

Centuries later, several immortals in extremely poor condition returned from somewhere and eventually joined forces to blast open the path to immortality.

"It seems you're all inside."

Gu Changjin stared into the depths of the crack, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

A group of mortal immortals in poor condition.

What's the difference between this and a buffet laid out in front of you?

Without further hesitation, he took a step forward, his figure disappearing directly into the crevice.

"Buffet, let's begin."
