I only want to win over the fairy.

Bai Yi didn't have much need for the position of leader. After all, in this world where strength is paramount, even if you are not a leader or have a high status, as long as you have enough strength, then all of these things will become irrelevant.

But now it's different. He needs to gather all the power, he needs all the cultivators to be of one mind, and he needs these people to contribute their strength so that the Emperor Sword can connect everything and unleash unprecedented power.

In this battle, Guiming will face not only a few powerful enemies, but also the power of all cultivators in the Nine Provinces, and even the ancient demon race and other races!

[In May of the 1144th year of the Wanxian Calendar, with the support of powerful forces such as the Xuantian Sect, the Yongye Sect, and the ancient demon race, and with the appointment of the Holy Maiden of the Human Emperor Palace, you became the Human Emperor in the eyes of the people of the Nine Provinces, and served as the main force and leader of this war against Guiming.]

[In June of the year 1144 of the Wanxian Calendar, Bai Ze approached you, entrusting you with all his possessions and performing a Holy Spirit blessing ceremony to cleanse your marrow and bones, granting you the constitution of an innate Dao body.]

[Your strength has greatly increased, and your comprehension of the Three Thousand Great Daos is much easier. You have obtained half a pound of Immortal Stones, 18 million top-grade spirit stones, over 100 million high-grade spirit stones, a number of mid- and low-grade spirit stones, and a number of rare and precious materials...]

Bai Yi was briefly stunned.

Shocked.

It was absolutely stunning.

He knew Bai Ze was a wealthy woman, possessing at least 100,000 top-grade spirit stones, but he truly hadn't expected her to have a staggering 18 million! And that was just from top-grade spirit stones!!

Top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare and far more valuable than high-grade spirit stones. Therefore, they are generally only circulated among powerful forces. As far as he knew, even Qin Xin's small treasure trove did not contain more than a million top-grade spirit stones. Perhaps this was because she did not collect such items much and her small treasure trove mainly contained rare and precious materials. However, this number alone can explain a lot.

Moreover, this is only a top-grade spirit stone. In addition to the top-grade spirit stone, there is also half a pound of immortal stones. The value of this stuff is far beyond what a simple spirit stone can compare to.

His initial plan was simply to extract a few Holy Spirit Essences from the other party to enhance the strength of his teammates, and to use a few million high-grade spirit stones as activity funds to win people's hearts. He never expected that the other party would hand over his entire fortune to him!

Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.

With money, many problems become much easier to solve. With so many resources, it's possible to support even a large sect. To cultivate a large sect, one needs to develop aspects such as secret realm maintenance, alchemy, magic weapons, formations, and spirit beasts. A sect without these is nothing more than second-rate. The resources required for development and expansion in these areas are enormous, and Bai Ze's wealth is enough to fill this huge gap.

No wonder the innate Holy Spirit clan was almost wiped out back then; who wouldn't be confused by their incredibly wealthy status?

If this were Bai Yi's previous life, the oil and grease just from Bai Ze's body would probably be enough to breed beauty bacteria.

Bai Yi, whose resources are now fully maxed out, can only be described in two words: cheating! At this moment, he's like a player using a cheat engine and the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, with all kinds of resources maxed out!

These resources are absolutely crucial.

The first thing to do after getting the resources is, of course, to support his wife and then take good care of his father.

[In September of the 1144th year of the Myriad Immortals Calendar, with the support of countless resources, the power of Xuanyuan Meng's Heavenly Dao, and the guidance of your Emperor Realm enlightenment, Xiao Jinxuan's state of mind and strength reached perfection, allowing her to break through to the Emperor Realm and become the Great Emperor of this era!]

Morale in the Nine Provinces has soared!

Xuan Yuanmeng knew that Xiao Jinxuan's breakthrough to the Great Emperor realm was now a certainty. Her strength was already the closest to the Emperor realm, but she had been unable to break through due to the suppression of heaven and earth and her imperfect state of mind.

Yet, even someone as talented as Xiao Jinxuan could reach this level, and with just a bit of luck, she could become an emperor even before the path to becoming an emperor was opened, which shows how strong her talent was.

Now that Bai Yi has already restored her mental state, she only needs a small opportunity to break through to the Great Emperor realm.

It's embarrassing to admit, but the biggest role I played as the Heavenly Dao was simply to use its power to accelerate the other party's comprehension of the Emperor Realm, saving them decades of seclusion.

However, the stronger the allies were, the happier she was, because it meant that the era in which the forbidden zone of life could run rampant was coming to an end.

In October of the 1144th year of the Wanxian Calendar, Guiming, having sensed the birth of the Human Emperor, disregarded the restrictions set for him by the wise men of the Human Imperial Palace and forcibly broke through them to emerge into the world, intending to nip Xiao Jinxuan, the newborn Emperor, in the bud.

[Understanding that relying solely on Xiao Jinxuan might not be enough, you join forces with Bai Yi. Wielding the White Emperor Sword, you draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao, your strength approaching that of a flawless Great Emperor. Although Bai Yi lends you the White Emperor Sword, his strength is greatly enhanced, and with a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao and the Dao of Reincarnation, even without the White Emperor Sword, he can still unleash the [God of Destruction], combining the imperial weapon with the White Emperor's corpse to sublimate into the combat power of a Great Emperor.]

Three powerful warriors at the Emperor level joined forces to engage in a fierce battle against the Lord of the Forbidden Zone on the Wushi Plain in Central Continent.

This mythical battle sparked countless discussions among cultivators. Since Bai Yi and his disciple Xiao Jinxuan were both from the Xuantian Sect, many sects at odds with the Xuantian Sect, sects that had previously mocked Bai Yi, and numerous ancient demon races desperately hoped that the battle would end in mutual destruction.

Xuan Yuanmeng's heterochromatic eyes flashed with an unusual light. She knew that the creatures of this world enjoyed fighting amongst themselves, but she never expected that these guys would be so beastly. The battle wasn't even over yet, and they were actually hoping that their own people would perish together with the enemy, preferably with no one surviving...

We fought with all our might for their survival, and instead of being grateful, we prayed that they would perish together with the enemy. Don't they know that if the three of them lost, none of these so-called immortal sects would escape?!

The cultivators of this world are truly beyond redemption!

Whenever she sees this scene, she feels that she made a mistake by letting these creatures develop, and that her decision to destroy all the immortal sects in the world was the right one.

Allowing these creatures to continue existing will only make the world worse.

Driven by short-term gains and personal interests, they have completely disregarded the overall interests of the Kyushu human race and the world, showing absolutely no sense of the bigger picture.

What need is there for such a thing to exist?

She herself had many grievances against the current immortal sects. In her view, it was these immortal sects that were hindering the development of the world. Moreover, weren't the supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life themselves products of many immortal sects?

These corrupt and hopeless sects have bred malice and darkness in the world, and have also given rise to the greatest evil in this forbidden zone of life!

The forbidden zones of life need to be addressed, but the root causes of their existence must also be eradicated!

However, he had promised Bai Yi that he would not be overly arrogant before doing anything and would negotiate and communicate with him. Moreover, there were good people in the immortal sects. Taking a one-size-fits-all approach was indeed a bit extreme. So after destroying Guiming and leveling the forbidden zone of life, he would have a good discussion with Bai Yi about how to change the world.

When the time comes, we'll kill those who need to be killed and reform those who need to be reformed. I don't believe they'll still be fighting amongst themselves all the time!

The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone is now the greatest enemy, and she still needs these people to contribute their strength to enhance Bai Yi's Emperor Sword. She cannot go on a killing spree and weaken the human race's fortune, so she will spare their lives for now.

You're so lucky, you escaped with your lives.

[In September of the 1144th year of the Wanxian Calendar, the Three Emperors fought together against the Lord of the Forbidden Zone. This battle lasted for five days, ultimately ending with Gui Ming suffering a backlash and being forced to temporarily flee. After this battle, the original Wushi Plain was ravaged and transformed into the Wushi Basin.]

[Because Guiming is restricted by his status as the Human Emperor, he cannot kill humans. The three of you are only slightly injured, but your lives are not in danger.]

As she departed, to free herself from the limitations imposed by her status as Human Emperor, Gui Ming decisively chose to transfer the throne to Bai Yi, who wielded the Human Emperor's Sword. At that moment, Bai Yi was truly crowned, becoming the supreme ruler of humanity and the current leader of the human race, the ruler of heaven and earth.

When Qiu Yuelian saw these messages, her heart finally calmed down a little.

In battles between emperors, the slightest mistake can lead to death.

Bai Yi's death was the last thing she wanted to face.

If Bai Yi were to fall again in the battle against the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone during this simulation, she would have no intention of continuing the simulation. In that case, she would probably just give him up, find Bai Yi in reality, hand him the cards, and let him receive a brief projection from the River of Time to restore his peak strength. The mysterious Guiming of the veil!

Fortunately, Bai Yi did not meet the worst possible outcome; instead, he defeated Gui Ming.

If you can win once, you can win a second time.

She believed that after this battle, Bai Yi's strength would surely improve again, and even if Gui Ming returned, he would definitely not be Bai Yi's opponent!

but......

She looked at the situation of the Human Emperor's Palace displayed in this round of simulation, and a series of familiar names were marked with the three scarlet words "Dead" in a very conspicuous way.

In reality, Guiming has already attacked the Human Emperor's Palace, so what's inside the Human Emperor's Palace now...?

It's probably already turned into a living hell.

Thinking about this, she suddenly felt irritable, unconsciously pulling at her hair, and her heart felt empty.

She had won, but her home was gone. This feeling was incredibly painful. The Human Emperor's Palace was where she had lived since childhood. It held many of her memories and familiar relatives, but now they were all missing, some even dead. How could she accept this?

“People may die but not be able to be brought back to life. Didn’t Bai resurrect people in the previous simulation?” Shen Tu saw through Qiu Yuelian’s thoughts and took the initiative to comfort her. “Perhaps he has a way to resurrect people. Moreover, the path of reincarnation is the path that controls life and death. With his abilities, he may be able to resurrect your family members in the Human Emperor’s Palace. So there is no need to be so sad.”

These words made Qiu Yuelian realize the key point.

Bai Yi has indeed resurrected people a few times, but he only resurrected one person at a time, and he paid a huge price for it. So, is it really possible to resurrect people who died in the Imperial Palace?

You should know that there are at least 10,000 people in the Emperor's Palace. Even if ten Bai Yilai worked themselves to death, they still couldn't do that.

However, it did offer her some comfort. She wasn't afraid of crises or immense difficulties, but rather of having no way out. Now that she had a solution, she would naturally do her best, even if it ultimately amounted to nothing.

Having overcome her inner turmoil, she immediately regained her composure and discovered Shen Tu's problem.

Qiu Yuelian wasn't stupid. She turned around and asked directly, "Don't think I can't see that you're changing the subject. You must have some trump cards up your sleeve, so why aren't you playing them?"

In the previous simulation, when dealing with Xuan Yuanmeng, the opponent displayed the combat power of an emperor, but this time she just watched and then suddenly comforted herself, clearly she was secretly plotting something.

"You humans have three Great Emperors on your side, and I'm just a temporary one. What if they finish off Guiming and then turn on me?"

Shen Tu shrugged and didn't hide anything: "Using my trump card will cause great damage to my essence. I won't use it unless absolutely necessary. If Bai and the others really show signs of weakness or defeat, then I will naturally step in. But if it's obvious that they can win, then I will naturally quietly step back behind everyone and leave the stage for them to show."

"Besides, you didn't even go in, did you? I don't believe you don't have a few powerful trump cards up your sleeve. In the end, aren't you also hiding your strength?"

Qiu Yuelian remained silent.

How could she explain that all her trump cards were played by powerful figures, while she herself had no fighting power at all?

We really need to be wary of this guy; he might be secretly plotting something bad.

In October of the 1144th year of the Wanxian Calendar, due to Gui Ming's defeat, the Supreme Expeditionary Army, led by Bai Yi, successfully recaptured the Human Emperor's Palace. To boost morale, the Holy Maiden Qiu Yuelian of the Human Emperor's Palace personally held a coronation ceremony for Bai Yi. Having successfully escaped the throne of the Human Emperor, Gui Ming was finally able to act without restraint, no longer needing to hold back in battle.

Chapter 168 I'm Going to Carve Tally Marks on Your Butt

In November of the 1144th year of the Wanxian Calendar, Guiming, having successfully abdicated the throne of the Human Emperor, deeply reflected on her defeat. She realized it was due to her carelessness; she had underestimated the current human race and the Human Emperor's Palace. To rectify her mistakes, she returned to Guiming Heaven and began expanding her temple.

In order to recover from her injuries quickly, Gui Ming chose to attack the other Supreme Beings of Gui Ming Heaven. Within her domain, all her enemies were weakened, and thus, the thirteen Supreme Beings of Gui Ming Heaven perished there.

With the aid of the Supreme Being's origin and domain, Gui Ming swept away the backlash from the River of Time that had been affecting her, and built a magnificent temple and a towering tower in the Northern Sea, taking the opportunity to resurrect her people.

"Rise, my people!!!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Yi felt a surge of mockery towards Gui Ming, but then stopped caring about it.

What's wrong? Are you afraid of your own mother bothering you?

After this battle, his prestige reached its peak, and he had truly obtained the throne of the Human Emperor. The perfect Human Emperor throne was very different from the Human Emperor thrones he had previously obtained in simulations that were merely titles.

The fully-fledged position of the Human Emperor granted him numerous privileges.

[You have gained the power to command all humankind and issue the Emperor's Decree; no one in the Nine Provinces may disobey the Emperor's Decree.]

[You have received the blessing of the human race's destiny, and you are currently in human territory. You can mobilize the human race's destiny for your own use anywhere.]

[You have received the mark of the ruler of heaven and earth. As the leader of the human race, the current ruler of heaven and earth, you are the greatest favorite of heaven and earth, and you will receive the favor of heaven and earth...]

This is the first time he has received the bonus from the title of "Human Emperor". When he first became the Human Emperor, the greatest effect of this position on him was that he could use this title to gather the power of all people and materialize the human race's fortune into the Human Emperor Sword.

Later, he did use the name of the Human Emperor Sword to exercise the power of the Human Emperor, but unfortunately, he was not strong enough and not many people listened to him. He still had to use his own strength as a deterrent to have the capital to command others, so this position seemed very useless.

He naturally abandoned anything that was tasteless.

But who would have thought that Guiming would pass on the Human Emperor's throne to me during the battle, unlocking so many benefits for me, making it seem as if the Human Emperor's throne I had obtained before was just a knock-off from Pinduoduo.

Why didn't I have so many effects before? Could it be that there are some restrictions on the position of Human Emperor, and that one needs to go through some trials or limitations to truly become the Human Emperor and obtain the bonuses and power that this position brings?

We'll investigate this in detail later, or perhaps ask Xuanyuan Meng.

Because of the bonuses brought by the throne of the Human Emperor, the entire land of Kyushu became his territory. Therefore, combined with his own [Lord of the World] skill, the bonuses can be said to be maximized.

It is no exaggeration to say that fighting against Bai Yi, who has now obtained the true throne of the Human Emperor, is equivalent to making an enemy of the entire Nine Provinces, all the humans living in the Nine Provinces, and all other races, large and small, that live in the Nine Provinces and have been accepted by the Humans.

Today I am the emperor, and I will punish the wicked!

Bai Yi first gathered the strongest cultivators in the Nine Provinces to form a Supreme Extermination Team, specifically to kill the Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zone of Life. The primary target was none other than Gui Ming, who had fled to Gui Ming Heaven to recuperate!
