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

"Who exactly were the ancestors of the Gu family of Beixuan?"

The voice of the supreme ruler of the restricted area resounded.

For a time, few people continued to pay attention to Gu Xuanzhou's process of becoming emperor.

On the Emperor's Road, the incomplete Heavenly Dao Emperor Seal has already shed countless rays of light, and countless Emperor Tribulations are gathering above Gu Xuanzhou's head.

However, deep within the starry sky, the five auras of the Great Emperors that were originally in a state of faint confrontation simultaneously showed some fluctuations.

The ancient emperor of the alien race also opened his eyes from the ancestral star.

Deep within the forbidden zones of life, divine thoughts that had slumbered for countless years were being revived one after another.

They were all reminiscing.

The name Gu, belonging to the Beixuan Gu family, is not particularly rare in the long history of the universe.

Perhaps in a certain era, there truly was an emperor surnamed Gu.

Even so, it's not enough.

Which of those prodigies on the ancient starry road didn't have a powerful background?

The emperor's own son, of royal blood, an ancient freak who has been sleeping in the divine source ever since.

Their ancestors also included an emperor who dominated an entire era.

If simply having a great emperor in one's ancestry could solidify the illusory path to the throne, then that path would have been paved long ago by the sons of emperors.

One of the great emperors of the time paused for a moment, then slowly said:

"Ordinary emperors cannot achieve this."

"If someone in his bloodline truly inherited this ancestral fortune..."

"That person, at least once, changed the course of the entire universe."

These words were spoken.

Those supreme figures in the restricted area did not refute this, because they had reached the same conclusion.

One of the white-clad empresses raised her hand and made a gesture.

A drop of blood that Gu Xuanzhou had scattered on the Imperial Road suddenly rose to the surface, reflecting a blurry river of blood.

She wanted to trace her ancestry back along the river of blood.

But just over three hundred years later, the entire river was suddenly cut off by darkness.

In the darkness, there was no imperial figure, only a devouring aura that made even the imperial path within her feel uneasy.

The white-clad empress immediately withdrew her divine sense.

A small section of my fingertip was missing.

That part of flesh and blood, and the imperial way, were not shattered, but simply disappeared.

"This ancestral fortune was not passed down from ancient times."

The white-clad empress looked at her newly grown fingers, her expression becoming solemn for the first time.

"The causal traces in our blood are very fresh."

"The origin is over three hundred years ago."

More than three hundred years ago?

Several emperors and the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone fell silent at the same time.

For them, this scope is already frighteningly small.

Three hundred years ago, there were very few people who could truly change the course of the entire universe.

You could even say there's only one.

At this moment, Ye Hei and Cang Jue were still standing at the entrance to the Imperial Road.

The two did not continue fighting.

They simply looked up together at the golden imperial road that had become completely solidified.

On the Emperor's Road, Gu Xuanzhou's figure was already engulfed by the Emperor's Tribulation and the myriad rays of light.

Cang Jue remained silent for a long time.

"How did the Imperial Road solidify?"

Ye Hei didn't answer, because he wanted to know too.

Others only saw the three fighting all the way, assuming they were all desperately vying for the first chance to step onto the Emperor's Road.

But how could someone who has truly reached the end of the ancient starry road not be able to tell whether the imperial road is solid or not?

That golden road was previously just a phantom; it was visible, but it couldn't bear the complete Heavenly Dao Emperor Seal.

Even if someone steps on it ahead of time, they will only pass through the phantom and will never actually enter the process of becoming an emperor.

That's why Ye Hei and Cang Jue didn't rush to the end.

The two continued to overcome challenges and engage in battles, letting their achievements spread throughout the universe.

The purpose is to draw more and more cultivators' attention to the Emperor's Path, and to gradually gather together the entire human race's desire for a new emperor, the debate over who will inherit the throne, and the obsession of countless geniuses with the struggle for the throne.

When the power of sentient beings' thoughts is sufficient, the illusory imperial path will naturally become real.

That will be the time to truly win.

Gu Xuanzhou, however, seemed completely unaware of all this.

He braved the attacks of the two men and charged all the way to the front.

In Ye Hei and Cang Jue's view, this behavior was indeed somewhat reckless.

What if one's physical condition suddenly changes?

So what if he's a quasi-emperor at the ninth level?

Without the guidance of ancient traditions, they would never even know the true way to unlock the Emperor's Path.

Rushing over there prematurely would be a waste of effort.

As a result... Gu Xuanzhou kicked down, solidified the Emperor's Path, and the Heavenly Dao Emperor Seal also appeared.

The process of becoming a "legendary emperor" has already begun!

Cang Jue turned to look at Ye Hei, his expression somewhat stiff.

"So all this fighting between the two of us... was paving the way for him?"

Ye Hei looked at Di Lu without saying a word.

After a moment, he slowly uttered two words.

"like."

Cang Jue's face darkened even more.

No, who's brainless?

They calculated the exact time it would take for the Emperor's Path to solidify, and have been fighting all the way to this point.

As it turned out, Gu Xuanzhou didn't do any calculations and just rushed in!

This scene was quickly spread throughout the entire human territory via the Ancient Mirror of Heaven.

The topic of conversation among the many powerful figures who were originally discussing how Gu Xuanzhou's physique would transform and whether he could survive the Emperor Tribulation suddenly changed.

"Ancestral fortune?"

"A message just came from the Emperor: Gu Xuanzhou's luck is insufficient to materialize the Imperial Path; what truly matters is the ancestral luck of the Gu family of Beixuan!"

"Could the Gu family of Beixuan have had an emperor among their ancestors?"

"Impossible, there is no record of it in the ancient books of Xuanheng Ancient Star."

"Moreover, even the fortune of an ordinary emperor cannot reach this level."

"So, who exactly were the ancestors of the Gu family?"

Numerous forces began searching through ancient texts.

The sacred land, skilled in deduction, directly awakened the imperial weapon, tracing back along Gu Xuanzhou's bloodline.

However, all the deductions suddenly break down when they touch upon the ancient star Xuanheng, which existed more than 300 years ago.

It's not that we can't see it, but rather that it's shrouded in darkness.

Any divine thought that enters it will be completely swallowed up.

This result did not make everyone give up; on the contrary, it made them even more certain.

There must be something wrong with the Gu family in Beixuan!

Soon, someone found a nearly forgotten record in the old archives collected by the Imperial Court.

"The Gu family of Beixuan was not destroyed in the Xuanheng Rebellion."

"The Gu family had already been besieged before Xuanheng Ancient Star fell into deathly silence."

"Behind this lies the Tai Xuan Divine Sect, the Zhao family, and the Yun family, the only imperial clan on Xuanheng Ancient Star at the time!"

The news is out.

Many people are even more confused.

"Since the Gu family of Beixuan has such a figure in their ancestor, how dare the Yun family destroy the Gu family?"

"The Yun family is an imperial family."

"Back then, when he was in charge of the Imperial Weapon Star Gate, there were also three Quasi-Emperors at the Ninth Heaven level guarding the area."

"If the Gu family truly had powerful connections, how could they have been driven to the brink of extermination by the Yun family?"

In a restaurant, an old monk listened to the argument and his expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

He put down his wine glass and suddenly said something.

"But the Yun family's fate doesn't seem to be much better, does it?"

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

Yes! The Gu family of Beixuan is gone.

However, the once-powerful imperial Yun family also failed to survive that day.

Not only the Yun family, but also the Zhao family, the Tai Xuan Divine Sect, and all the forces involved in the destruction of the Gu family, all disappeared completely!

Even more coincidentally, historical records state that after Emperor Zun attained the Dao and became a Great Emperor, he descended upon Xuanheng Ancient Star, slayed the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone who had instigated the Dark Turmoil, and preserved the land of Xuanheng Ancient Star.

In the years that followed, the Emperor established the Imperial Court, ushered in the Human Era, and led the human race to create a brilliant and prosperous age.

Unfortunately, just as the human race was developing and the Emperor's prestige reached its peak, the Emperor mysteriously disappeared, and the Heavenly Dao Emperor Seal was once again without a master.

The world believed that the Emperor had already perished.

No one had ever connected these things before.

But now that Gu Xuanzhou has embarked on the path to Godhood, the ancestral fortune of the Gu family of Beixuan has suddenly manifested.

Seemingly unrelated clues all came together at this moment.

Inside the restaurant.

Someone swallowed hard.

"The Gu family of Beixuan is surnamed Gu."

"Could that emperor... also be surnamed Gu?"

The sound of the voices echoed in everyone's minds at the same time.

A conjecture that could shake the entire universe was almost blurted out.

Could it be... that the person from the Gu family of Beixuan who changed the course of the universe was the supreme emperor who created the human race's era three hundred years ago?!
