Perfect Double Agent

Another person appeared, a young man with silver hair and cross-shaped pupils. He was not tall, but his kingly aura made the Crimson King tremble. With a glance, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"Kun... old man, you've had to start over!"

"Hmph, anyone can walk the White Emperor's Path. I borrowed the Time-Space Realm and became a king in three hundred years. Now, after enduring hundreds of thousands of years of hardship, I have finally gained some enlightenment. That day is not far off." The young man sneered.

Do you really think he lived all those years in vain? Over the years, he has observed various paths of evolution, read countless classics, and even created his own Dao. After gaining a certain level of confidence, he decisively started cultivating again. His old body was just a facade.

"Hahaha!" The old demon laughed, tears welling up in his eyes. He reached out and patted the Red King's shoulder, making the Red King grimace and his body feel like it was about to fall apart.

As far as he knew, Qingyi was almost here, as was the silent Blood Phoenix. Dao Wang and Qu Chong were probably researching something and preparing a big move to amaze everyone. Chi, who seemed to be the most promising, was actually just a figurehead.

"Heavenly Emperor..." The Crimson King was really anxious. What kind of people are these? They're chasing us way too fiercely.

"Wait a bit, the big battle is about to begin, your peaceful time is over," Bai Ye said calmly.

"A great war? Could it be..."

Instantly, everyone in the dojo fell into a solemn silence.

This means that Huang will lead his people to ascend to the heavens and attack the plateau together with the heavens, where they may encounter their former adversaries.

"Have we really joined the plateau forever?" some people couldn't help but wonder.

“We’ve joined. We and the plateau are the same people. This is our ancestral land after all,” Bai Ye whispered.

"Then... what about Ara?"

Kundi, the Red King, the Ten-Crown King, and others were all watching. It was common knowledge that the White Emperor and Huang were good brothers.

"In the end, we are on different paths. If he joins us, all will be well. If he insists on going his own way, then we should take action. There is no need to worry about anything. Let bygones be bygones."

"Should we take action against Huang...?"

Everyone held their breath; this day was truly about to arrive.

"The will of the White Emperor is our will. Wherever the sword points, we will always move forward." The young Kundi and the old Kundi spoke at the same time, their gazes unwavering, a testament to their trust.

He knew that Bai Di wasn't that kind of person, but on the plateau, he wouldn't think a word more, much less ask questions; the power here was too terrifying.

Besides, the dead can be resurrected, so what's the harm in actually killing them?

"Then kill them all without leaving a trace, let the nightmare of the Immortal Ancient Era once again shroud the heavens. This time, I, the King, will fight that butcher and the chicken farmer!" The Crimson King's expression changed, and his face became serious.

"Get out! I'm the one raising chickens! I'm going to get my revenge!" Kundi roared.

"What are you fighting over? Let's all attack together! What's with all this talk of morality!" The old demon smiled, making everyone feel inexplicably relaxed.

The witch was quiet, her gaze turned to the side, and the people around her remained calm. She thought that Shi Hao should understand.

Chapter 691 I am the protector of Anlan, who dares to challenge me?

Heaven.

Shi Hao arrived, faster than many people expected, alone, crossing the Blood Sea through the passage from the Ultimate Ancient Land.

"This is the heavens... the land of endless reincarnation..."

Shi Hao stood at the edge, looking at the vast and boundless ancient land. He originally thought it was an island, but he never expected it to be so big that even his divine sense could not reach the end.

Even more astonishing is that the countless points of light hanging in the sky above this world are not planets, but vast universes, like billions of stars, adorning the void, guarding the islands, and causing the passage of time to change course on its own.

This was such a grand gesture that even Shi Hao was slightly stunned.

"Unrepeatable cycle of reincarnation, impervious to the passage of time, the supreme realm—is this the realm above Heaven...?"

This is an unprecedentedly transcendent ancient land, where myriad races coexist, and the Daoist traditions flourish. The laws of the Great Dao are ancient and vast. Even someone as powerful as him feels that if he were to rebel against the order of this world, he would be subject to a certain degree of suppression.

Yet, even in such a place, there are many areas where dark matter and dark creatures exist. These creatures are formed from the corruption of the dead by the dark matter. In just one corner of the land, the number of them is frightening, and there are many powerful beings among them.

"Isn't this the source of darkness?"

Shi Hao frowned and probed the Great Dao of this world with his divine sense. This probe had no effect; in just a moment, his body trembled violently. "Darkness comes from the plateau, the heavens have been defeated... all emperors have fallen, and all living beings are suffering..."

Various pieces of information swirled in his mind, each one deeply shocking. The heavens were not without strong individuals; on the contrary, there were many strong individuals, but they had all been nearly wiped out in the past. The heavens of today were merely the post-war heavens, far inferior to their peak.

More importantly, he also saw a familiar face.

"Brother Ye... came here too..."

A huge wave of emotion surged in Shi Hao's heart. Not only had Brother Ye come before, but he had also been here long before him, ascending to the heavens and fighting against several emperors all by himself!

"Could it be that he became an emperor during that evolution?!"

Shi Hao recalled the past. He shouldn't have failed in his evolution that time. Although he succeeded in the second evolution, he didn't succeed at all the first time. Now, considering the time when the other party ascended to the heavens, it's not hard to guess that the other party was already an emperor at that time. It would be a miracle if he, with the power of a quasi-immortal emperor, could succeed in evolving an immortal emperor incarnation.

"He actually became a Celestial Emperor long ago! What a swindler!"

He then formally entered the Celestial Realm, traveling through this vast world for 30,000 years. He visited the Dao Ancestor and the Celestial Emperor, and they discussed the Dao with each other.

However, the more he learned, the heavier his heart became.

The true source of darkness is the plateau... That person also led all his followers to join the plateau, becoming one of its inhabitants...

"Aren't you going to fight back?" Before a celestial palace, Shi Hao looked at the two figures sitting cross-legged in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

“We’ve been fighting back all along, so how can you say we haven’t been fighting back?” Sheng Yu said in a deep voice.

"Then why are there so many dark creatures in this land?"

“We can eliminate them if we want to, but leaving the dark creatures is to familiarize the people below with their fighting style,” Luo Tianxian said. In reality, this show of weakness was intended to lull the plateau into a false sense of security.

They knew those people too well. If they acted too aggressively or stubbornly, they would be met with a devastating blow from the plateau. They had been fighting the plateau for far too many years and could not afford any more setbacks. Even if they were to fight, they would have to wait for the other emperors to be resurrected.

"I will continue to fight against the darkness, but I will not join the heavens." Shi Hao thought for a moment and said. There are indeed many strong people in the world. If he were to be afraid of them, how could he continue to improve?

He does this on his own behalf, on behalf of his Heaven, not on the heavens, and will not drag the heavens down with him.

After all, this place is too tragic. As the first line of defense against darkness, the heavens and the plateau have been fighting for too long. If we drag the heavens into battle while they are recuperating, all our efforts will be in vain.

"Can I bring my people along too? Some promising talents need a nurturing environment."

“Okay.” Sheng Yu nodded slightly. Huang had reached an agreement with them, which was great. But could they really stand idly by? He himself thought it was impossible.

A single hair can affect the whole situation; how could they possibly turn a blind eye when Huang was mobilized?

……

……

They arrived, and most of the Heavenly Court's subjects ascended to the heavens, including the Heavenly Horned Ant and the Crimson Dragon.

Shi Hao originally didn't plan to bring anyone up, but after careful consideration, he realized he was being too one-sided. He thought that simply protecting these people would never allow them to grow. Only a real battlefield was the best environment for them to develop.

It should be noted that many of his followers were more impressive than Pu Mo and Wu Shang back then, such as Butcher and Zang Zhu, but now they have been left far behind. The real reason lies in their upbringing and life-and-death battles, both of which are indispensable.

"Is this what God is...?"

Many people were observing this world. The Desolate Emperor did not abandon them. After returning, he brought them up.

"Are the people from other lands here too..." whispered a majestic creature with dragon horns on its head.

This was a middle-aged man with weathered eyes and a tall stature. As soon as he opened his mouth, he drew the attention of those around him.

True Dragon, the leader of the Ten Fiends of the Immortal Ancient Era, was originally a powerful Immortal King, but unfortunately he perished early. Otherwise, he might have had the opportunity to challenge the Emperor Path.

After all, the potential of the ten races of the Ten Fiends is truly terrifying.

"Is that traitor here too? He led his people to defect. I will personally cleanse this family." An old man also looked up. He was very thin, skin and bones, with sunken eyes and withered skin that emitted a yellow light, as if it were cast in brass.

But this very creature was once incredibly ferocious, invincible in heaven and earth, the bravest of all races, and known as an immortal being, ranking very high among the ten most ferocious creatures.

Shi Hao had also seen this person before. When he first left the Three Thousand Provinces, he accidentally entered Phoenix Mountain and saw this person's corpse wandering under the Wutong Ancestral Tree. At that time, he guessed that the other party was one of the Ten Fiends, but unfortunately he died earlier than the True Dragon.

There are many members of the Phoenix Clan in the Immortal Ancient Era, such as the old man, the branch taken away by the Fallen Blood Phoenix, and the Phoenix Maiden who cultivated three strands of immortal energy. Unfortunately, some people have passed away, while others have been resurrected and their strength has reached a new level. For example, this old man, who looks like skin and bones, actually stepped into the Immortal King level after being resurrected.

"That's difficult then. She became a queen long ago," the Qilin King chuckled. They had ultimately wasted too many years.

But clearly, everyone longed to fight against the alien realm. Their deaths back then were too humiliating; each of them was almost surrounded and killed, and the Immortal King was also among those attacking them. Who wouldn't feel aggrieved in that situation?

Fortunately, a Desolate Emperor appeared in this era and resurrected them all.

Shi Hao never explained this. After returning from the heavens, he did learn how to reflect, but he was not the one who truly resurrected these people; it was someone else.

"Grow to your fullest potential. When the great battle comes, I hope all of you can recreate your former glory." Shi Hao surveyed the army. There were too few capable warriors. He was the only true emperor, and the most promising Liu Shen was still undergoing rebirth.

Not to mention the plateau, just among Brother Ye's followers, there are three quasi-immortal emperors, not counting the four dark emperors.

The war began, starting with the Imperial War, which broke out in the Sea Sacrifice and caused the direct fall of a Dark Immortal Emperor.

When that Immortal Emperor was resurrected, it directly shook the plateau. A new emperor actually killed a veteran Immortal Emperor right away, and his strength was simply unbelievable.

"Is it barren...?"

The emperors sneered. On that very day, two people went to the sea sacrifice to ambush and kill Huang, who kept fleeing far away at sea. This pursuit lasted for more than 60,000 years. The number of people involved increased from the initial two to three. Even Shi Hao was injured many times.

"The time has come, my sworn brothers! The moment of great battle has arrived! Slaughter and conquer to your heart's content! The land of the gods will be open to you!"

Not long after, an emperor issued a decree in the highlands, which shook all races, and a huge roar resounded through the sky.

"White Emperor, what about us!"

Deep in the highlands, in their tribe's territory, the young Kundi arrived at the foot of Emperor Mountain early, his face full of anxiety. War was their specialty, as proven on the highlands. Although some people thought they were shameless and often attacked them, who cared?

Individual courage is ultimately just reckless courage. Fighting alone may sound invincible and enviable, but such people have killed far too many people.

"As the king at the pinnacle, it is only right and proper for me to lead this expedition!" The Crimson King also arrived, his crimson hair flying, glancing sideways at Kundi. He was about to become an emperor, and in these final moments, he would ascend to the heavens, unleash his legend, and kill so many kings that no one dared to raise their heads!

"Red, do you want to replace me?" The young Kundi coldly stared. Who in the foreign land didn't know that in his spare time, he managed the various tribes, and in times of war, he was always the commander and strategist of the army, while his disciple was the vanguard of the army and the leader of the younger generation.

Gradually, almost every Immortal King who heard the news came. The tribesmen who fought in the wilderness had the most experience. Those who were defeated back then had to hide in various places. Those in the Immortal Realm dared not return home, and those in the burial grounds dared not leave their homes.

What a bunch of cowards! Do they think they can turn their lives around just because God has come to their rescue? How naive!

"In this battle, we will march alongside the Black Emperor's army. I will lead you, with Senior Kundi assisting you." An Lan appeared. He had become an emperor. Perhaps those people did not yet know, but of course, this was also his first time ascending to the heavens.

Sure enough, the kings in front of the Emperor Mountain fell silent.

"Aren't we the main force?" Kundi asked, somewhat disappointed.

“There are five imperial armies in total this time, and we are just one of them. We can station troops here in the future.” An Lan spoke again.

"Station?" Everyone was taken aback, their eyes instantly lighting up.

This is natural. During the Sacred Ruins era, a large number of dark races took over the land, and many of the descendants of the Gray Emperor were wiped out by a ruthless person with a single slap.

"Hahaha, I want revenge!" Kundi laughed loudly, recalling the days when he hadn't even shown his face during the Immortal War. As a result, after staying home for many years, he was blocked at the door and beaten up as soon as he stepped out. He was extremely depressed.
