I only want to win over the fairy.

.......

The two argued more and more heatedly, as if they were about to have a fight right now, and would not stop until they had torn each other to pieces.

"Could it be a little quieter?"

Seeing the increasingly loud argument between Xuan Yuanmeng and Qin Xin, Bai Yi used the power of reincarnation to suppress all the injuries in his body. After briefly regaining his mobility, he sat up from the bed, placed his right elbow on the bedside table, propped his cheek with his palm, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "You two are being a bit too noisy."

His voice wasn't loud, but when it reached Qin Xin and Xuan Yuanmeng's ears, it made them stop arguing at the same time. Like children who had done something wrong, they stood up straight in front of him, lowered their heads, and looked like they were waiting for punishment.

Seeing that the two had stopped talking, Bai Yi continued, "We've gathered here not to argue, but to resolve the current crisis. Arguing won't solve anything; it will only make the situation worse."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanmeng raised her head and asked in return, "But aren't you the one who caused the situation to turn out this way? If you weren't such an idiot, the Supreme Beings of Guiming Heaven would have already returned to the heavens."

Bai Yi thought about it and agreed: "It is indeed my fault that things turned out this way, but putting aside the facts, don't you have any faults at all? You didn't communicate with anyone at all and just carried out your own plan, expecting everyone to follow your pace. How could there not be problems?"

Xuan Yuanmeng was speechless for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true. Before she carried out her plan, she did not communicate much with others. Whether it was reincarnating as a human, setting traps to ambush the forbidden zone of life, or destroying the existing immortal sects and cultivators in the simulation to create a new order system, she did not communicate with Bai Yi and others.

So, the fault lies with Bai Yi for mistaking the trap she prepared for herself due to poor communication, and even imbuing it with emotions, rendering the trap unusable. In fact, it should be blamed on her.

But she naturally couldn't easily admit that it was her fault; as the Heavenly Dao, how could she possibly make a mistake!

So she could only retaliate by blaming Bai Yi's actions for the current situation: "In the end, it's still your problem. I left you plenty of information, but you just didn't notice it. It's your fault that the current situation is like this. Since you caused this mess, it's natural that you should clean it up."

“I know the answer to that question.” Bai Yi nodded and readily admitted, “I need to solve this problem now, but I need your help. Without your help, I can’t possibly win on my own.”

Xuan Yuanmeng did not refuse. The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone was an enemy that had to be eliminated. Defeating Gui Ming as soon as possible would be beneficial to both Bai Yi and herself.

Bai Yi extended a finger and continued, "Your original plan was to use Zi's death to trigger the Heavenly Punishment, thereby eliminating all the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones involved. Although the power within Zi was just the trigger, if it could be fully unleashed, it might be possible to fight against Gui Ming."

“Impossible.” Xuan Yuanmeng shook her head: “The gap between a Supreme Being and a Peak Emperor is not small at all. Besides, you have already done something like fusing with Zi. Neither your Link 5 nor Link 6 is the full strength of Gui Ming. You should know this. Moreover, this hastily put-together Emperor power will leave your body in ruins.”

“I know, but this time it’s not me who will be fusing.” Bai Yi’s lips curled into a pleasant smile as he looked at Xuan Yuanmeng. “If we’re talking about who can unleash the full potential of Zi’s power, then who else could it be but you, the Heavenly Dao?”

The fusion of Xuanyuan Meng and Zi is undoubtedly the combination that maximizes benefits. As the Heavenly Dao, Xuanyuan Meng can naturally bring out the maximum effect of the power within Zi's body. It is even possible that she can use this power to activate the power of the Heavenly Dao itself.

Of course, Bai Yi did not intend for Xuan Yuanmeng to kill Gui Ming directly. After all, it would be too ridiculous if Gui Ming could be killed so easily with his strength. Therefore, Bai Yi planned to divide the plan into three parts.

The first part is preparation for battle. By using the power of the Human Emperor Sword, he will gather the power of his master Xiao Jinxuan, the Great Elder of the Eternal Night Sect Qin Xin, and even all the cultivators of the entire Xuantian Sect. He will also try to enhance the power of the Human Emperor Sword and give the White Emperor Sword to Xuanyuan Meng, so that she can use it as a wedge to draw as much power from heaven and earth as possible to increase her combat strength.

The second part involves merging Xuanyuan Meng and Zi to maximize the power of the Heavenly Dao, thereby weakening Guiming's power, and ideally stripping away the power of the laws she controls.

The final third part is where Bai Yi pieced together the Emperor's combat power, relying on that one legendary skill to launch a special attack against the cruel and inhumane ruler, and using the Human Emperor Sword to launch a special attack against foreign races. With the power of the rebels, he fiercely blasted into Gui Ming's heart!

In this way, even if Guiming doesn't die in the end, he will be so badly injured that he will no longer have the strength to fight!

After Bai Yi explained his plan in detail, Xuan Yuanmeng was speechless. She thought to herself that this guy really liked to boss people around. He could have just asked Zi to self-destruct, but he had to make such a fuss.

However, she would not say that, since Bai Yi valued the people around him very much, and merging with Zi was actually a backup plan for him.

The difference is that she originally thought that after the puppet she created triggered the divine punishment, there might be some power left over, which she could take the opportunity to absorb to strengthen herself. She never expected that she would have to absorb the whole thing now.

Hopefully, nothing will go wrong.

"Then you should recover from your injuries as soon as possible. Let me make this clear: if anything goes wrong with your plan, I won't cover for you. In that case, I'll just activate the final plan, abandon Zishe, and clear the area out."

Bai Yi nodded and instructed, "Be careful in everything. You only have one life. Nothing is more important than preserving your own life. If the plan fails, just run away. After all, Gui Ming's target is you, not me."

Although running away is shameful, it is still a sensible choice.

If any problems really arise, Bai Yi will definitely choose "you give me some gas" without hesitation.

Moreover, Gui Ming's targets are Xuan Yuanmeng and Zi. As peak emperors, they may not fear any enemy, but they will likely avoid battles if possible. After all, if Gui Ming were to fight to the death, he would inevitably take a few pieces of their flesh.

These words immediately silenced Xuan Yuanmeng.

She suddenly realized that Bai Yi didn't need to confront Gui Ming at all. If he wanted, he could even get along with Gui Ming amicably, without having to fight each other or risk his life.

Thinking about it carefully, the reason why this guy was so protective of Zi at the beginning seems to be that he just regarded her as himself.

If I were to encounter such a crisis, he... would probably stand by my side and protect me at all costs.

A warmth filled her heart, which made her even more concerned about Bai Yi's plan. She decided to spare no effort to help him this time as well. However, on the surface, she deliberately acted as if she didn't care at all: "Hmph, of course I know about this. He's just a Supreme Being of a Forbidden Zone. At worst, he'll die. I am the Heavenly Dao. Even if I die, I can be resurrected. Instead of wasting time talking to me about this, you should focus on recovering your health first!"

As she said this, she casually sent a wisp of Heavenly Dao power into Bai Yi's body to help him refine the vast and pure Yin energy within him.

I realized I was too self-centered before. I should communicate more with Bai Yi before doing anything in the future.

After doing all this, she didn't linger, but got up to look for Zi.

Although she was reluctant to help this dispensable doll in the past, she genuinely wanted to help it, because helping it was, in a way, helping herself.

With the help of the power of Heaven, Bai Yi also entered a state of seclusion, beginning to refine the power within his body with all his might, striving to raise his realm to the next level as quickly as possible.

........

Inside the main hall of the Emperor's Palace.

The current Palace Master of the Human Emperor Palace, Si Zhou, suddenly opened his eyes, and two lines of scarlet blood flowed down from the corners of his eyes. He then spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire aura became weak and listless.

This...this is!

The Great Emperor!!!

He looked up at the entrance of the hall and saw a woman with long blue hair walking gracefully into the hall.

then,

The woman with long blue hair smiled slightly, and an unparalleled aura of pressure, like an ocean, pressed forward, followed by a declaration.

"This place shall be my royal palace!"

Chapter 164 The Birth of the New Human Emperor

Behold, a terrible thing is happening in the distant palace of the Human Emperor: the ferocious supreme being Guiming of the forbidden zone of life, Guiming Heaven, has appeared.

She set her sights on the Human Emperor's Palace, which is the lifeblood of the human race in the Nine Provinces, the turning point from decline to prosperity, and the convergence point of the fortunes of all human races. Therefore, the Human Emperor's Palace is of paramount importance to the entire human race.

This is why the Human Emperor Sword was formed here when Bai Yi first became the Human Emperor.

Gui Ming wants to enhance her own power, have the luck of her race bless her, and bring back the era that belonged to her. Therefore, she needs to build her own temple and her own domain, and the most suitable place for her is this place.

After much effort, she sat on the throne of the human emperor, which had not been occupied for over a thousand years. Looking out the window at the sky gradually turning sea blue, she could not suppress the joy in her heart.

"As the fortunes of the human race continue to shift, the environment of the Nine Provinces will also change, and the era of the land-dwelling human race will quickly come to an end, replaced by the era of the vast ocean."

"Land creatures cannot survive in the ocean for long. Even among cultivators, only the most elite can live in the deep sea for extended periods. So even if I do nothing but sit here, the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both structure and overall structure) will change because of me!"

"However, this process may be quite long, but time is the one thing I have in abundance. With my current vitality, I can live for at least ten thousand years. Even if I use the Way of Time to observe the future and consume some of it, it will only reduce the amount by about seven hundred years, which is completely within an acceptable range."

Who could have imagined that a supreme being could return to the realm of an emperor? And who could have imagined that this emperor would bear the mark of the former ruler of heaven and earth who had been replaced?

When her clan was on the verge of extinction, she had already severed herself to become the supreme being, so she did not manage the affairs of the clan much afterward, and the extinction had little to do with her.

If she were to rule during her peak, even if her race were on the verge of extinction, she could at least extend her lifespan by tens of thousands of years, simply because she could suppress an entire era with her own power!

but......

"The loser should just leave obediently; why linger on like this?" She stared at Si Zhou, the Palace Master of the Imperial Palace, who was already covered in blood and had a weak breath, beneath the throne, her tone full of incomprehension.

She was utterly bewildered that a great emperor like herself would come and occupy a piece of her land, and not only did the emperor not give her any face, but he also risked his life to take her down with him.

However, it must be said that this guy still has many merits. With the help of the formation and luck of the Human Emperor Palace, he managed to hold his own against me for a few moves.

For someone who hasn't even reached the threshold of the Emperor Realm to achieve this level of skill is already quite impressive.

"Cough... This little injury is nothing!" Si Zhou struggled to his feet. He knew he was no match for the unknown emperor before him, but as the master of the Human Emperor's Palace, how could he hand over the legacy left by countless human ancestors to a foreign race!

In the past, there have been instances where emperors attempted to seize the Human Emperor's Palace, but to date, no one has successfully occupied it.

Although the Great Emperor is invincible, the Human Emperor Palace in the past was able to withstand the attacks of foreign Great Emperors through the efforts of countless sages, and force those Great Emperors to give up or to wait until the human race also gave birth to a Great Emperor. So why can't he do the same now?

"I know my aptitude is not good, and I know I am not suitable for this position, but as long as I remain the Palace Master of the Human Emperor Palace, I will never allow any foreign race to occupy this place and seize the destiny of humanity! Nor will I allow any being to attempt to annihilate humanity!!!"

Si Zhou's own qualifications were not the best among his fellow apprentices of that generation, nor was he the most charismatic. The reason he was able to obtain this position was simply because he lived long enough.

If the material is made of steel, it will easily break.

Those brilliant and outstanding fellow disciples were exceptionally talented and determined to change this world, create a new golden age, and make the Human Emperor Palace great again. However, reality is always cruel. Without exception, they all died prematurely, leaving only himself, the most incompetent and useless, to survive to the end and inherit the position of Palace Master of the Human Emperor Palace.

Looking back on his life, he seems to have never done anything memorable.

I have always lived an extremely mediocre life.

Even after becoming the Palace Master of the Human Emperor Palace, and wanting to do something like his senior brothers, he found that he couldn't do anything, and the more he did, the more mistakes he made.

So he could only continue to drift along aimlessly, conforming to the old system and the opinions of others.

Going with the flow is far more comfortable and easier than going against the current.

but.....

To be able to fight against an emperor with an ordinary body, does that mean I've slightly transcended mediocrity?

This battle is the only stage where he can prove himself, even if this stage does not have a perfect ending and a happy conclusion.

"Fellow human predecessors, this is a battle to protect humanity, and it may also be our last. So entrust all your power to me!"

The ancestral temple of the Human Emperor Palace houses the corpses and souls of many human emperors. As the master of the Human Emperor Palace, Si Zhou naturally has the privilege of communicating with those in the ancestral temple. Therefore, he can also borrow the power of his predecessors when permitted.

As soon as he finished speaking, his body, soul, and spiritual power began to burn wildly, and the souls that sensed his call and awoke also burned themselves, surrendering their power to him.

There was nothing to hold back, because there was only one enemy before them.

There was no room for complacency, for the enemy before them was a formidable force even in the history of humankind.

The enemy before us is the ruler of the forbidden zone of life, Guiming, the master of the forbidden zone, the founder of the Guiming Era, and one of the most powerful emperors throughout history—Guiming!

With the influx of countless forces, a bright golden power surged from Si Zhouxi's body, and his injuries vanished in an instant, replaced by a brilliant and dazzling appearance.

This is not because his injuries have healed, but because his body has been completely burned away. What remains here now is merely the "drive" that exists to unleash power sufficient to threaten the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

"[I offer my blood to Xuanyuan—]!!!"

The immense power transformed into a majestic golden dragon, roaring in the hall and tearing at Guiming on the throne with unimaginable speed.

Faced with an attack that combined the power of the ancestors of the human race, the fortune of the human race, and the full power of the Palace Master of the Human Emperor's Palace, Gui Ming became slightly more serious.

She could easily dodge this attack, which was powerful but lacked any ability to block it. After all, the difference between an emperor and someone below the emperor level was not just a difference in attack power.

only.......

How could someone as powerful as himself, the master of the forbidden zone, the ruler of Guimingtian, an emperor who once suppressed an era and made all the geniuses of that era afraid to raise their heads, need to dodge the attacks launched by this insect with all its might?!

She raised her hand, her palm covered in azure scales. She intended to use her own body to receive the opponent's all-out attack, to let the opponent, and the world, understand the gap between them and herself.
