But... the person who did all this has to die before even having time to enjoy this achievement. Is it really worth it?

She didn't know because she had no right or ability to make a decision in this matter.

In the winter of the second year of the White Emperor Era, the White Emperor, who ushered in a new era for humanity, ventured alone into the Forbidden Zone of Life. There, he fought a bloody battle against the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone who had attacked him before, and ultimately perished.

"A truly grand and magnificent finale befitting me."

Chapter 32 Your Majesty, You Can't Rest Yet

【game over.】

[Your life is full of legendary stories. You rose from obscurity, solidified your position in the Eternal Night Cult through your own efforts, and by chance gained the favor of the Human Emperor's Palace, becoming his successor. Moreover, when humanity was facing a crisis of survival, you stepped forward to turn the tide, save the collapsing empire, quell the chaos of the demon race, and restore the greatness of the Nine Provinces.]

[In the year 1120 of the Myriad Immortals Calendar, you officially became the legitimate emperor of the Nine Provinces, bringing many scattered immortal sects under the rule of the dynasty. To a certain extent, this broke down the barriers and restrictions between immortal sects, allowing many talented individuals to embark on the path of cultivation, and establishing new rules for the previously chaotic cultivation world.]

[Later, he broke through to the Emperor Realm in one fell swoop, binding the position of Great Emperor to the human race, ensuring that the human race would have a Great Emperor to rule for generations to come. His achievements were lasting. Later, he went to the Forbidden Zone of Life to fight to the death, but unfortunately he was defeated and died.]

Although your image is glorious and majestic, you are stained with countless lives. Knowing full well the immense suffering and devastation that would result from your battles against the ancient demon race, you still chose to do it. Therefore, you have many negative reputations in folk tales and unofficial histories. But justice is always written by the victors, and you, who won in the end, are the epitome of justice.

Looking at the evaluation, Bai Yi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. This simulation was the longest he had ever played and the one that required the most effort. To receive such a rating was truly worth all the hard work he had put in.

The only regret is that he sent it before he could enjoy the benefits of being an emperor.

Other emperors could be benevolent rulers for ten years and then indulge in arrogance and extravagance, all while maintaining a good image. But I was a benevolent ruler for hundreds of years, and then I had to engage in a blood-spitting marathon with the demon race, which resulted in so many negative reviews.

But there's nothing to care about. If he really cared about these comments, he would probably be ashamed to death when he played Stellaris and burned glass.

[This simulation has ended. The evaluation for this simulation is: "Trying to rival the heavens."]

In recognition of your outstanding performance, please choose one of the following rewards:

【①, The Human Emperor's Sword (A sword of humanity condensed from the fortune of the human race. One side of the blade is inscribed with the words "farming and nurturing," and the other side with "all people united in heart." The hilt is inscribed with the hundred surnames, symbolizing the myriad human races. The sword has no edge, yet it can cleave mountains and cleave seas.)】

【②, The White Emperor's Scripture (written by the White Emperor and perfected by many great emperors in later generations)】

【③, Imperial Weapon Embryo - White Emperor's Feather Robe (woven by White Emperor's wife Qiu Yuelian, this feather robe was worn by White Emperor for a long time. It accompanied White Emperor through the Tribulation of Immortal Slaughter, absorbing the aura of the Imperial Way, the power of reincarnation, and the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation. After White Emperor's death, it was enshrined in the Temple of the Human Emperor, where it has long been imbued with the aura of the Human Emperor and the incense smoke, thus possessing spirituality.)】

You're being way too stingy!

Bai Yi was utterly speechless. "I performed so well this time, why are you still making me choose one of the three!"

Why can't we just take it all?

Seeing three great rewards but only being able to choose one is incredibly disheartening, especially for Bai Yi, who suffers from decision paralysis.

Whether it's the Human Emperor Sword, the White Emperor Scripture, or the embryo of an imperial weapon, they are all quite tempting. Moreover, these three things do not overlap. The Human Emperor Sword is a weapon, the White Emperor Scripture is a cultivation technique, and the White Emperor Feather Robe is a defensive garment. Each has its own characteristics, and there is no such thing as one being necessarily better than another.

There's no other way but to reluctantly part with it.

"I choose the Emperor's Sword."

buzzing...

With a sword's cry, a golden light appeared before Bai Yi's eyes. This golden light then rippled outwards like water, slowly flowing and growing brighter. After a moment, a long sword, entirely golden with flowing light emanating from its blade, appeared.

This sword is extremely special, even a manifestation of the entire human race's destiny. Holding this sword is equivalent to holding the human race's destiny in one's own hands.

Despite its extraordinary nature, Bai Yi felt no heaviness in his hand. Instead, it felt perfectly comfortable, neither too heavy nor too light, as if it had been specially crafted for him.

"If this sword is broken, won't it affect the fate of the human race?"

Bai Yishun twirled his sword. The sword had patterns painted on both sides and looked exceptionally valuable, making him feel a little worried about using it as a weapon.

If damaging this sword would affect the fortune of the entire human race, it would be better for him to keep it as a sacred object, lest he become a great sinner against humanity.

buzzing...

The Emperor's Sword held in Bai Yi's hand trembled slightly, a ray of light wrapped around the blade and flowed into his hand, and at the same time a message appeared in his mind.

—Please rest assured, with your current strength, you are not capable of causing any problems to the fate of the human race.

Bai Yi's eyes widened slightly. What did it mean that the sword was actively telling him information? It meant that the sword had a spirit!

That's right. How could a divine sword formed from the destiny of humanity be without consciousness? It would be strange if it were without consciousness. It's just that the information conveyed by this sword is a little hurtful.

"Are you conscious?" he asked tentatively.

—That depends on how you define the concept of consciousness. Consciousness is a special and complex movement that can reflect the real world as well as the movement of non-existent consciousness itself. I don't think I have the above functions, after all, I am just a sword.

"How can your sword practice dialectical materialism?"

—This is what I learned from you. Although I only spent a few months with you, your influence on me has been profound. Your wisdom is beyond my reach. What I know is only the tip of the iceberg of your knowledge. It is my honor to meet you again. However, before I express my feelings about our meeting, I think you have some more important things to do, such as saving this decaying land.

"You're so long-winded."

Although they only exchanged a few words, Bai Yi already found the sword annoying. Back in his school days, he hated philosophy the most, because memorizing these things was a painful experience.

Now, being spoken to by someone—no, a sword—using this knowledge, I feel my mind trembling.

—You are making some meaningless remarks that waste both of our time. I think you shouldn't waste your time complaining about my rambling. You should strive to improve yourself and grow to the point where you can shoulder the responsibilities of humanity. Otherwise, every bit of time you waste will double the suffering and despair this land has to endure. I believe that as the Human Emperor, you do not want this to happen.

—Many hardships and natural disasters are still happening on this land, and even more hardships will come in the future. As the only human emperor who can save all of this, please understand your responsibilities as soon as possible. I believe you can understand my significance. Please set off with the goal of saving the world, saving humanity, and restoring the glory of humanity.

—You are too weak now. If you do not act quickly and grow stronger before the crisis comes, the future of humanity will be bleak and hopeless.

Bai Yi: "...."

"Your Majesty, are you listening to me? Many crises will occur on this land in the future. You must act immediately. You cannot rest now."

Bai Yi: "...."

I regret it, can I return it?

Chapter 33 Reigning Supreme at the Pinnacle of Immortality

I imagined the Emperor Sword to be a steady and reliable senior who would guide me meticulously.

The real-life Emperor's Sword: "Your Majesty, you cannot rest yet; there is still much work to be done."

One shares my burden, the other adds to it.

Bai Yi was completely at a loss. He wanted to throw the sword away, but he felt it would be a waste. After all, it was a sword formed from the destiny of the human race. If he threw it away carelessly, the destiny of the human race would cry.

It's a perfectly good sword, but it just happens to have a mouth.

Sigh, I should have chosen the haori instead. At least it's a defensive garment and should look pretty cool.

There was no other way but to take it back and enshrine it, touching it occasionally to bring myself some luck.

As he was thinking this, Su Qingyu, who was in a meditative state beside him, finally opened her eyes.

.......

Juku Island, Tianyao Pool.

Above a vast spiritual pool brimming with immense spiritual energy, a massive azure immortal stone floats silently. Inside the immortal stone, a pure white cocoon, like a heart, pulsates rhythmically.

The spiritual energy, so dense it became tangible, seeped into the white cocoon little by little as it trembled. The azure immortal stone also developed some tiny cracks as the vast spiritual energy permeated it.

The movement of the white cocoon immediately attracted the attention of those around. In an instant, several figures gathered here and then respectfully knelt down before the white cocoon.

At the same time, the most imposing elder humbly advised, "Your Excellency, it is not yet the right time for you to be born. Please be patient. We will awaken our slumbering compatriots as soon as possible. Once the path to becoming an emperor opens, we will be able to welcome you back, seize the destiny of humanity, and so on..."

"Shut up!" A cold, stern voice immediately rang out from within the white cocoon: "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?!"

"Your subordinate dares not."

"The Xuanyuan Sword has been born."

Upon hearing this, the kneeling crowd was greatly surprised.

The Xuanyuan Sword is the embodiment of the human race's destiny. In their memories, only the Xuanyuan Emperor could wield this sword. However, the problem is that the Xuanyuan Emperor died long ago, and the Xuanyuan Sword returned to the human race's destiny after his death. Apart from the Xuanyuan Emperor, who else could bring the Xuanyuan Sword back into the world?

It can't be that the Yellow Emperor has come back to life.

Upon considering this possibility, they immediately dismissed the idea. That person had been dead for countless millennia, beyond any doubt, how could they possibly be reborn!

If it weren't for Xuanyuan, who else could bring the Xuanyuan Sword back into existence?

Are they descendants of the Yellow Emperor, or are they qualified to become the second human emperor of the Yellow Emperor?

Thinking of this, they suddenly felt a chill run down their spines. Back then, the Yellow Emperor almost wiped out the ancient demon race. If they hadn't chosen not to fight against the human race and instead sealed themselves away in later generations to avoid that person, they would probably have been turned into domesticated cats and dogs long ago.

Now, let's have another one...

Amidst the trembling of his subordinates, the being within the white cocoon slowly spoke: "I can see that I will die at His hands in the future, and He will become the emperor of this era after me. Our time is running out."

Although it cannot see the other person's true identity or their path to growth, it can see the scene of itself dying at the hands of that person.

At the same time, since he cannot see the other party clearly, he can tell that the other party will become an emperor in the future, otherwise it would be impossible for him to escape his "eyes" that can see into the future.

In the past, it was always in a state of slumber, so it could not foresee the future. But this time, it sensed danger and foresaw that it would die at the hands of its opponent, so it woke up.

In the future it foresaw, the demon race invaded the human race, but it was asleep. As a result, after being welcomed back to the secret realm by the demon race, it died at the hands of that being.

Now that I have glimpsed the future and awakened from my slumber, I will never let the same thing happen again!

"Give me the list of names you have collected from the Emperor's Palace."

The power of an emperor is unfathomable; even I, who was once a fellow emperor, find it difficult to break through. Moreover, the fact that this person could so completely obstruct my destiny proves that their strength surpasses even my own at my peak. They might even be another Xuanyuan (a legendary figure known for his extraordinary abilities). Therefore, I must find them at all costs.

Then kill Him!

Since it could bring forth another sword formed from the destiny of the human race, the other party must be in the Human Emperor's Palace. Only in this place, in this place where the destiny of the human race once gathered, could that sword be brought forth.

Only the core members of the Human Emperor Palace could condense the sword of human destiny within its walls.

Upon receiving the Lord's command, the kneeling crowd hurriedly retrieved the information they had gathered about the human race, especially the Human Emperor's Palace, and handed it over to the being inside the white cocoon through a special communication method.

For the sake of their grand plan, they have been investigating the human race's power for many years, especially the strongest immortal sects and the Human Emperor's Palace, so they naturally have a lot of relevant intelligence.

As they waited anxiously, Bai Jian remained silent for a moment before slowly uttering a name: "Among them, I cannot find Qiu Yuelian, the current Holy Maiden of the Human Emperor's Palace. Kill her at all costs!"

The emperor is indeed unfathomable, but you still miscalculated in the end, the future peerless empress.

I can see everyone's future, but I can't see you. So if I remove the people I can see, you are as naked as I am in your eyes!

Upon hearing the order, the subordinates were about to claim credit and seize the achievement when the being within the white cocoon continued, "No, the Emperor cannot be humiliated. To use your hands to kill a future Emperor would be an insult to Him. I will personally slay Him!"

It was uneasy to entrust the task to these subordinates, knowing that those who could become emperors were all chosen ones who combined strength, opportunity, and luck.
