I only want to win over the fairy.

After years of war, your forces have slain countless ancient demons, striking fear into their hearts and preventing them from ever setting foot on the Nine Provinces again.

After this battle, Bai Yi had reached the pinnacle of his life, but he felt it wasn't enough.

Simply dealing with external threats is not enough to be considered a success. Some internal parasites and inactive individuals also need to be purged, otherwise these people will become a hidden danger sooner or later!

[In April of the year 1209 of the Ten Thousand Immortals Calendar, you succeeded to the position of Palace Master of the Human Emperor Palace. In the same year, you invited the sect leaders of the nine great immortal sects of the Central Continent and several other continents to discuss the establishment of a human dynasty. During the meeting, there were many disagreements, and the meeting ended unhappily.]

[In October of the 1209th year of the Wanxian Calendar, you took the initiative to recruit talented human cultivators in the name of the Human Emperor's Palace. At the same time, you sowed discord and incited many disciples of the immortal sects, thus instigating a demonstration movement within the immortal sects, and vigorously proclaiming that "the immortal sects belong to the human race, and only by establishing a human dynasty and uniting the mortal world with the immortal sects can the human race move towards a bright future."]

Many sects have expressed dissatisfaction with your actions and attempted to unite against you, only to find that many disciples and even some elders within their sects have begun to side with you.

[In September of the 1210th year of the Wanxian Calendar, after your series of suppressions, the other immortal sects chose to submit, and the Great Yan Dynasty was established. As the Palace Master of the Human Emperor Palace, you became the first emperor.]

In the same year, you formulated national policies and dispatched many outstanding disciples from various immortal sects to different regions of the Great Yan Dynasty to oversee their respective areas, ensuring favorable weather and abundant harvests. Simultaneously, you established schools, promoted construction, and disseminated new knowledge, leading to a period of rapid prosperity for the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

That's more like it. If you travel back to ancient times, how can you say you've been there if you don't become an emperor?

Although it's a world of cultivation, this is all harmless.

After becoming emperor, Bai Yi discovered that most of his limited daily action points were occupied by various official documents and matters. However, his attention was not on this, but on the fact that he found a new option, "Accept Virtuous Consorts," in his action operation bar.

Does this mean I can marry whomever I want...?

Bai Yi: ?('▽｀)?

Chapter 30 TMD, 999,900 layers of reincarnation power!

Who wouldn't want to open a huge crystal palace after time travel?

Transmigrating to the world of cultivation, easily achieving immortality, collecting various fairies, and living a simple and unpretentious life like that of Alexandre Dumas is the dream of many.

Bai Yi was no exception.

You should know that in Azur Lane, he is known as the "Lord of the Rings" because he has been married to at least thirty ships. He is a man who has so many rings that he can't wear them all on his hands and feet!

However, it would be too hasty to reveal one's true intentions so soon after becoming emperor. He should at least be more reserved and wait until he has achieved some success before taking in virtuous concubines. That way, anyone who dares to object to him can be dragged out and beheaded!

Once I've consolidated my power, I must go and sing and dance.

With your wisdom, strength, and vision that transcends your time, you have spent hundreds of years bringing unprecedented prosperity to the human race. The system you implemented, which rewards cultivators according to their labor, has largely prevented people from fighting to the death for resources. Countless promising young cultivators have received education and successfully embarked on the path of cultivation, breaking the monopoly of many immortal sects to a certain extent.

[To encourage cultivators to give back to heaven and earth and to the people, you have divided the land of Kyushu into numerous provinces and placed them under various immortal sects, assigning them responsibility for the weather and harvests in their respective regions. With the help of cultivators' methods, even the most humble mortals can live a happy and fulfilling life under your rule.]

[To further expand the human race's territory, you have decided to break through to the Emperor Realm. Although the current forces of heaven and earth still do not allow one to become an Emperor, you can clearly feel that the repulsive force has weakened considerably. You believe that you can definitely overcome this obstacle, prove yourself as a Great Emperor, and then sweep across the territories beyond the Nine Provinces, even the forbidden zones of life!]

After collecting numerous rare and precious treasures, you began your breakthrough in the core of the Great Yan Dynasty, namely the Human Emperor's Palace. The momentum of your breakthrough quickly attracted the attention of many beings. The ancient demon race, who have always been your enemies, naturally would not allow you to break through so easily, otherwise they would have nowhere to live. The supreme beings living in the forbidden zones also did not want to see another Great Emperor in the world, especially since you also bear the name of the Human Emperor.

[When you break through to a critical moment, several ancient demon ancestors and human beings who are waiting for the path to becoming an emperor to open so they can break through to the emperor realm will join forces to kill you. Even a supreme being from a forbidden zone will attack from afar, attempting to annihilate you.]

What the hell? Can't these old geezers just go die already?

It is because of parasites like you that opportunities in this world are becoming increasingly scarce, and only one great emperor can be tolerated by heaven and earth.

In ancient times, multiple beings could prove their Dao and become Emperors at the same time, but now there can only be one, and even after one appears, it takes a long time before the second one appears. Bai Yi could tell with his toes that these damned forbidden zone supreme beings have taken up too many slots!

The cake is only so big, and you guys have taken up more than 90 percent of it, and you're not willing to give it up. This is putting me in a difficult position!

The combined efforts of multiple forces have quickly exhausted you. The methods and power you used to fight the Heavenly Tribulation have been almost completely depleted by the Demon Ancestor and the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone. Faced with this near-certain death situation, you have not despaired, because all of this was within your expectations. At this moment, if you try to get ahead, how can you avoid being ambushed?

[You understand that a single Great Emperor is insufficient to shatter this corrupt world order. Therefore, your goal is not only to break through to the Great Emperor realm yourself, but also to bind the future Great Emperor position to the human race, to the throne of the Human Emperor.]

"Throughout history, countless people have sought enlightenment, yet not one has been willing to lead their entire race to achieve it. Today, as the Human Emperor, I will establish a solid foundation for future generations of humanity! I will ensure that future generations of humanity possess the means to confront the forbidden zones of life!!"

[You, as the Human Emperor, issued decrees to the world, attempting to materialize the destiny of the human race.]

[The golden radiance unfolds under your command, and streams of light appearing across the land simultaneously soar into the heavens. At this moment, the brilliant light, formed by the faith of countless people in you, converges, and the will of all beings unites under your guidance.]

The torch is passed down from generation to generation; it is the will of all people.

[Your countless years of benevolent rule have brought prosperity to the human race, and countless people love and respect you from the bottom of their hearts. The destiny of the human race, the ruler of this world, has descended upon you, condensing into a "sword" belonging to the entire human race. At this moment, you are not fighting alone, but fighting on behalf of the entire human race!]

[Having grasped your intentions, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zones could no longer contain himself and sought to break the seal to personally kill you. But you merely grasped the Human Emperor Sword, formed from the Qi of the Forbidden Zones, and declared to all the Forbidden Zones: "I speak to the Ten Forbidden Zones. This is the manifestation of the Qi of the Nine Provinces of Humanity. It connects me to the Qi of the entire Human Race. If I destroy it, the Qi of a race that has produced countless Great Emperors and is currently the ruler of Heaven and Earth is enough to bury any Forbidden Zone. Destroying it will make me the greatest sinner of Humanity. I offer my sincere apologies to all the Human beings who trusted me, but I will not regret it. I know that a Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zones will be dispatched to eliminate me, but I hope you will consider this carefully. This is not negotiation, but judgment. The decision is in my hands; you have no right to negotiate."]

"Madman." The Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones, who never expected you to gamble with the fate of the entire human race, chose to follow your heart. They knew the immense power of the human race's destiny; once you truly unleashed that power and chose mutual destruction, they would face only death.

[You have completed the first step of your plan, deterring all forbidden zones and preventing them from crossing the line. Next, you will carry the destiny of the entire human race through your tribulation, allowing the human race's destiny to advance to the Great Emperor level along with yours. Since the human race's destiny does not entirely belong to you, your actions are tantamount to seizing the creation of heaven and earth, which is forbidden by heaven and earth. The tribulation you will suffer is the most deadly of all, the Immortal Slaughtering Tribulation.]

Facing the terrifying Tribulation of Immortal Slaughter, you showed no fear, gripping your sword tightly and channeling all your reincarnation power, charging straight into the tribulation.

[The power of nearly a million layers of reincarnation has merged into your body, instantly causing your strength to surge, increase dramatically, and surge powerfully! Your power at this moment is greater than ever before; you now possess the strength to fight even a Great Emperor! So powerful! Incomparably domineering! Like an immortal! What can possibly stop you now?!]

[At this moment, you are incredibly confident. You channel your spiritual power and the power of reincarnation, unleashing an attack that combines the power of 999,900 layers of reincarnation with your own peak cultivation level. This ultimate punch instantly destroys the approaching Immortal Slaughtering Tribulation.]

[At this moment, you have become a true Emperor, carrying the destiny of humanity. This destiny will flow to the next Human Emperor after your death. Upon meeting the necessary conditions, they will be able to directly advance to the Emperor Realm without undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation. From this moment on, the unique Emperor Realm qualification in the world has completely fallen into the hands of humanity.]

[Having advanced to the Emperor Realm, you have become the undisputed Emperor of the human race. From the earth to the universe, from the Great Yan Dynasty to the Ten Forbidden Zones, your imperial might resounds everywhere. Your actions have firmly cemented the human race's position as the master of heaven and earth, ensuring that the human race will always have an Emperor in every era.]

But you are going to die.

Why are all the aftereffects of breaking through to the Emperor Realm so severe?

Bai Yi was speechless. Last time he broke through with the power of the Heavenly Dao, he only had ten years of lifespan left. This time, how come he only has one year of lifespan left?

After glancing at the introduction, he was speechless.

[Those who seize the creation of heaven and earth will inevitably be devoured by heaven and earth. The cause and effect that the throne of the Great Emperor will inevitably fall to the human race requires you to bear the backlash. Your life, your soul, and your will will all be corrupted by the Great Dao of heaven and earth, the fortune of the human race, and the great cause and effect of the Great Emperor of the future, until death.]

Are you prepared to bear the consequences of the actions of countless future emperors?

Chapter 31 I'm going to die

The saddest thing in the world is when a person dies but their money remains, or when a person is still alive but their money is gone.

Expelling the demon race, suppressing the immortal sects, unifying the human race, and finally becoming a Great Emperor, Bai Yi's life has undoubtedly been magnificent and brilliant. He has become the strongest in the world, and his grand life has only just begun, but it is already coming to an end.

If this were a novel, it would be like this: the protagonist pours his heart and soul into reaching the top of the world, and all the frustrations, pain, and sorrow he experienced before will be completely reversed at this moment. However, just when readers are full of expectations and hoping to see an explosively exciting plot, it suddenly ends at this moment.

The story ends abruptly.

Without any warning, without any expectation, it didn't even bring any pleasure.

Bai Yi's story is coming to an end, but there is no new beginning.

When you completed your breakthrough and returned to your palace, Qiu Yuelian approached you with great joy and congratulated you: "Congratulations! You have now broken through to the Emperor Realm. Perhaps in the future, when I see you, I will have to respectfully address you as the White Emperor."

Knowing you were about to die, you weren't happy; you simply replied calmly, "It's just breaking through to the Emperor Realm."

Hearing this, Qiu Yuelian pouted, seemingly quite displeased with your Versailles-like behavior: "What do you mean by merely breaking through to the Emperor Realm? This is the ultimate goal that countless cultivators dream of. You are now both the Human Emperor who led humanity to greatness once again and the strongest emperor in the world. Even compared to the ancient sages of humanity, you are enough to rank in the top three. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you can rival the Yellow Emperor. If I could achieve half of your accomplishments, I would laugh in my dreams..."

"Moon Lotus," you interrupted her, "I'm about to die."

Eh... am I about to die?

On the other side, when Qiu Yuelian saw Bai tell her that the other party was about to die, her first reaction was that the other party was joking. Who was the other party? He was the Great Emperor!

What is an emperor? He is the most revered being in the world.

The Imperial Realm cannot be insulted! The Imperial Realm cannot be bullied! The Imperial Realm cannot be desecrated!

Each emperor has a lifespan of ten thousand years, which is extremely long. Bai has just broken through to the level of emperor, and he still has at least ten thousand years before he dies. If he had a divine medicine or something, it would be no problem for him to extend his lifespan by several thousand years.

Although she hasn't yet acquired the memories from this simulation, just reading the text and observing Bai Di's growth from an outsider's perspective gives her a sense of being there.

The opponent is an existence capable of suppressing an entire era. The Great Emperor is merely a new starting point for him. As a Great Emperor, he will inevitably conquer the forbidden zones of life in the future, and even pacify the forbidden zones and extinguish the darkness and turmoil.

She believed in the other person, believed in Bai, and believed in the figure from her memory.

She had pondered countless times when facing the Dark Turmoil: if one day she could stand shoulder to shoulder with the White Emperor, could she truly eradicate the source of this Dark Turmoil? Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, how could she not be excited?

To marry him, establish a dynasty for the human race together, watch him become an emperor, and finally fight alongside him—this was something she never dared to imagine in the past.

Even though these things haven't happened yet, just appearing before her in the form of words is enough to make her blood boil. But just as she was about to follow the White Emperor into battle, he told her: 'I'm going to die.'

Without thinking, she selected one of the options on the simulator.

"I know, you must have been injured by those damned forbidden zone supreme beings during your breakthrough. I know where there are miraculous medicines. We'll go find them together in a few days. If we find them, they can definitely heal your injuries."

"Speaking of which, Moon Lotus, I don't think I've ever given you a meaningful gift. I suddenly have a great idea: why don't you take my place and become the Great Emperor of Humanity, conquering all corners of the world?"

Are you kidding me?!

There can only be one Great Emperor in an era. It is simply impossible for someone else to replace him as Great Emperor. Even if you are an immortal reincarnated, you may not be able to do it!

Moreover, in this era, only you can protect the human race. Neither I, Jiang Yuehan, nor anyone else can do it, and you have already fully proven this point.

One must have self-awareness.

Qiu Yuelian knew her own limitations very well, so she only needed to do her job well and wouldn't do anything unnecessary, otherwise she would suffer a great disaster like some incompetent people who held high positions.

She knew she was not capable of becoming an Emperor, nor was she capable of shouldering the responsibility of saving humanity and quelling the chaos of darkness. That's why she chose to seek out Bai, hoping that he, with the potential to become an Emperor, could take charge of the situation.

This is not a lack of self-confidence, but simply a good understanding of oneself and others.

Rather than becoming a savior, she felt she was better suited to be a guide, leading others onto the right path.

"I know you're surprised, but my path to enlightenment is different. Even after I die, I can leave this qualification to become an emperor to future generations," Bai explained. "However, it is precisely for this reason that I will die soon. So, before I die, I want to pass this power to you. If you do, you will surely become an empress whose name will be remembered for generations."

The day after informing you of this, Bai convened a meeting of his ministers and announced publicly: "From this day forward, I formally abdicate, and my wife Qiu Yuelian will succeed me as Emperor of the Great Yan."

Although the courtiers had their objections, they refrained from speaking out due to the emperor's authority and your status, simply considering it a new trick the White Emperor was playing to please you, his principal wife.

[Three days later, you will officially assume the throne of the Great Yan Emperor. Your strength has also risen to the Emperor Realm level after Bai entrusted his power to you. Although it is still unstable, it can be stabilized with diligent cultivation.]

Qiu Yuelian was stunned. She felt her worldview was collapsing, and collapsing to the point of no return.

This is absolutely cheating!

An era can only have one Great Emperor, and to break through to the Great Emperor realm, one must suppress the entire era with one's own power when the path to becoming an Emperor opens, and finally break through to the Emperor realm. This is the ironclad rule of the cultivation world, but now this ironclad rule has been broken.

The position of Emperor is no longer something that a bunch of people have to fight for, but can be given by the previous Emperor. This is simply challenging the common sense of the entire cultivation world!

This is practically saying that all future emperors will belong to my family, and your fighting is meaningless!

No wonder Bai died. How could he not suffer the consequences of doing something that violated the rules of heaven and earth?

The sacrifice of one person to ensure the longevity of the human emperor and the eternal peace of the world can be considered a huge gain, since the longevity of the emperor means that there is the right to fight against the source of darkness and turmoil.

Your Forbidden Zone Supremes can kill one or two Great Emperors, or even ten in a row, but my human race has an endless line of descendants. After one Great Emperor dies, another Great Emperor immediately takes his place. Day after day, year after year, sooner or later we can wear down all the Forbidden Zone Supremes!

The achievements he made are comparable to those of the Yellow Emperor.
