"Brother Ziyang, you're my real brother. You're not trying to fool me, are you? I... He really isn't cut out for this. "
Long Chen felt a chill run down his spine. What kind of joke is this? Why did he end up wearing such a big hat?
Emperor Ziyang looked at Long Chen, a faint, half-smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "To be honest, I was worried about the fate of the Tianwu Continent, but after seeing you, I suddenly felt I was worrying unnecessarily."
You are different from all of us. Perhaps because of this, you are the catalyst for the transformation of heaven and earth, the destined breaker.
From seeing you dressed in black, with your back to me, at that moment I suddenly understood how wondrous the Way of Heaven is. "
Brother Ziyang, I'm really not cut out for that, do you know? Emperor Yunshang has a heir awakened, and I plan to fully support him..." Long Chen said hurriedly, preparing to hand the business over to Yun Tian.
"Does Emperor Yun Shang have a son?" The Purple Sun Emperor was startled.
"That's right, I was in the Star Domain Divine Realm. Thanks to his help, I survived the calamity. He is the true prodigy, unmatched in the world..." Long Chen hurriedly added some more hype to Yun Tian.
The Purple Sun Emperor was stunned for a long moment before sighing, "Emperor Yun Shang truly deserves to be the first generation; we cannot match him." Long
Chen was stunned too. What did he mean? Are there any descendants who are truly impressive? For a moment, Long Chen didn't know what to say.
Emperor Ziyang shook his head and said, "You don't need to overthink it. Emperor Yunshang has participated in the Imperial Process, is known as the foremost of the Five Emperors, and his strength is even more revered. As for his greatness, you'll understand in time."
But even if Emperor Yunshang has an heir, you are still the one who can break the deadlock. Only you can break this deadly predicament. Seeing
Long Chen about to speak again, the Purple Sun Emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to make your stance public, and don't pressure yourself. Just let things take their course."
I don't have much time, so don't waste it on such meaningless topics. If you want to ask something, hurry up and ask. Long
Chen's heart tightened. After pondering for a moment, he asked in a deep voice, "What is your opinion of the Divine Clan?" "
Nothing much to comment on." The Purple Yang Emperor shook his head and said calmly.
Long Chen was stunned. What did that mean? The Ziyang Emperor's words were ambiguous, with no sign of anything.
"What do you think is the key point for Tianwu Continent to survive this dark era?" Long Chen continued to ask.
"The key point is you." The Purple Sun Emperor looked at Long Chen and said.
"Alright,"
Long Chen rolled his eyes, essentially not asking. Suddenly, he asked, "Brother Ziyang, what exactly is the origin of Dan Valley?" "
You need to ask yourself this question. The karma between you and Dan Valley is too great. The Tianwu Continent is just a starting point. As for ..." Emperor Ziyang spoke but suddenly pondered for a moment, as if considering something. In the end, he shook his head and didn't continue.
"That won't do. I can't even get anything valuable. Brother Ziyang, you're an emperor—what is there to be afraid of?" Long Chen was speechless.
"I'm already dead. Whatever I say doesn't affect me, but for you, it will bring endless catastrophe." The Purple Sun Emperor shook his head and said.
"You ... too." Although he was mentally prepared, he still found it hard to accept. The youngest, the Ziyang Emperor, had also fallen. If the Tianwu Continent found out, who knows if they would be utterly hopeless?
Legend has it that the Great Emperors disappeared because they secretly guarded this world. When the apocalypse approaches, the five Great Emperors will intervene to save the world.
Countless people firmly believed this. If this news got out, even without foreign invasions, the powerful beings of Tianwu Continent would collapse in despair, wouldn't they?
The Emperor is the faith of the entire Tianwu Continent. When this faith collapses, it brings devastating blows.
Not to mention them—even Long Chen himself felt deeply disappointed. If he had the support of the Five Emperors, he might have had the confidence to fight against powerful enemies from beyond the domain, but that hope was completely shattered, leaving him feeling utterly powerless.
"Long Chen, don't belittle yourself. The fact that you were chosen by Tianwu Continent as the breaker is all for you. I believe in you—you definitely have the strength.
We are all chosen by heaven; heaven is not wrong. The Tianwu Continent entrusts its fate to you, just as you advised me before. Standing in your position, no one in this world can do better than you. "Emperor Ziyang comforted him.
"Why have I never thought I was the chosen one? I always felt that the Heavenly Dao was about to destroy me, to kill me.
Last time I crossed the tribulation, even Brother Mo Li showed up. If he hadn't deliberately let me down, I would have died in that tribulation. Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
"You are the chosen one, that's absolutely true, but the reason the Heavenly Dao targets you is because the current Heavenly Dao is no longer the same as before.
Heaven is no longer the same as before, but Earth remains the same Earth. The laws of Heaven have changed, so there's no need to worry too much.
So, don't think that the world is targeting you just because of the heavenly tribulation. In fact, what is targeting you is something unspeakable. "Emperor Ziyang said.
Long Chen was shaken to the core: "So you mean this world is ...."
Emperor Ziyang shook his head: "Some things should not be spoken aloud. If spoken, the Heavenly Dao will capture them, breeding variables that evolve into tribulations, which harm you rather than benefit."
I don't have much to tell you. You've asked almost everything you needed to ask. Is there anything else you need my help with? I still have a bit of strength now.
I can seal it inside your body, and if you encounter an unstoppable enemy, it can save your life. Hearing
Emperor Ziyang say this, Long Chen's heart skipped a beat. If this power were sealed within his body, he would gain a death immunity talisman and be able to act without restraint.
Just as Long Chen was about to agree, he suddenly thought of a question and said, "I want to know, in the City of Wrongful Death, how many powerful figures from the Tianwu Continent have become undead after death?" "
Some warriors, before dying, fail to extinguish their primordial spirits in time; for self-protection, they enter a state of suspended animation.
Normally, this state of suspended death already signals death and can only transmit faint information to future generations, known as the Heavenly Dao will.
However, within the City of Wrongful Death, influenced by the aura of the Undead Realm, the primordial spirit absorbed the undead aura and mutated, existing in another form and becoming an undead.
Many powerful figures at the time sensed the problem, extinguished their soul fire in time, and died completely.
However, some people, perhaps too obsessed and wanting to kill more enemies, failed to extinguish the soul fire and became undead here.
Within the City of Wrongful Death, there are probably over fifteen million human undead, all warriors who have fought alongside me. At this point, Emperor Ziyang's tone was filled with sorrow.
"Did the corpses left behind during the god-demon war also become undead?" Long Chen asked.
"No, when they died in battle, Wangsi City hadn't yet connected to the Death Spirit Realm. Their bodies were all buried underground, their resentment drained, and turned into the source power for the evil path to control the undead here." The Purple Sun Emperor shook his head.
"Is the evil path with death?"Is there collusion in the spirit realm? Why didn't you eliminate them earlier, Emperor? Long Chen asked.
The Ziyang Emperor shook his head without answering directly, but instead asked, "Why did you just ask how many undead from the Tianwu Continent are here?" Seeing
that the Ziyang Great Emperor did not answer, Long Chen knew this was likely another great secret, so he simply gave up.
"If you still have power, I hope you will annihilate these undead and let them rest in peace.
The evil path controlling the heroes of the Tianwu Continent is the greatest insult to us. Moreover, I know Ye Ming very well—he's extremely sinister.
When the great war begins, he will definitely use this trump card. When that time comes, how will the powerful warriors of Tianwu Continent fight against these ancestors who have already become undead?
If they didn't act, they would only be killed; if they did, they would be accused of betraying their teachers and ancestors, which would seriously damage the morale of the Tianwu Continent. Long Chen said.
"I still have some strength. If I use it against them, it would be too wasteful. You need to think carefully." The Purple Sun Emperor said in a deep voice, clearly his remaining power could only be used once, making it extremely precious.
"Don't think about it. Hesitation isn't my style. If you want to do it, then do it. I don't want the heroes of Tianwu Continent to be humiliated."
As for my safety, hehe, I can't even protect my own life, so how can I protect my loved ones? Long Chen chuckled.
Emperor Ziyang also smiled: "Good, truly worthy of being a breaker—bold. Although I somewhat disagree with your approach, I admire your character and respect your choice." "
Whoosh"
Long Chen felt the space tremble; he was already standing atop the void with the Ziyang Emperor. Beneath their feet lay a vast black ancient city.
This is Linxian City, also the City of Wrongful Death. Only by looking down upon this ancient city from above the void can one truly feel its grandeur and grandeur.
The edge of the giant city was invisible, making one feel as if inside the inner city. The undead were originally roaring everywhere, but when the Ziyang Emperor appeared, those undead immediately shut their mouths and trembled.
"Brother Ziyang, if possible, I hope I can bring their weapons back as well, to return to their descendants." Long Chen added.
Emperor Ziyang nodded, took a step forward, and Long Chen's vision blurred. He had already teleported from the void into the inner city.
Long Chen was shocked. The Purple Sun Emperor teleported with him, yet he couldn't sense any spatial fluctuations. If the Emperor wanted to kill him, he could strike with a wave of his hand, leaving Long Chen without even the slightest strength to resist.
"Buzz"
As Long Chen entered the inner city, a black barrier appeared, blocking the two of them. Through the barrier, Long Chen could see countless undead prostrating themselves on the ground. On the altar in the center of the inner city, coffins lay across. Just as Mo Nian had said, the coffins from the Evil God's Tomb had all been moved inside.
At the center of the altar, Ye Ming was looking at Long Chen with uncertainty and suspicion—or rather, at Emperor Ziyang.
"Ye Ming, aren't you going to fight me? Come on, today I'll grant your wish. I can beat you to the point of and fill this city with it. Do you believe it or not? Long Chen rolled up his sleeves, speaking arrogantly.
