The Desolate Heaven Emperor Appears

The Desolate Heaven Emperor Appears

After lunch, Zhou Tong left the school without wasting any time and headed straight for the train station.

Along the way, he constantly communicated with the Reincarnation Mirror, examining the passersby around him.

What he saw gave him a huge shock.

There are quite a few reincarnated people! Zhou Tong was secretly stunned. Nearly thirty percent of the people around him were reincarnated. In other words, at least one similar flower had appeared tens or even hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Although most of these "similar flowers" were probably unknown figures with no fame to speak of, they had at least existed before.

And... the Reincarnation Mirror can vaguely identify the era before reincarnation... Zhou Tong looked at the three youths not far ahead. All three were reincarnated people.

Yet he could vaguely sense that two of them came from roughly the same era, separated by less than ten thousand years. The other, however, was clearly from an age countless times more ancient.

According to my calculations, the farther apart two flowers are in time, the stronger their previous lives must have been! Zhou Tong had his own suspicions, supported by the reincarnated people mentioned in the original work.

Ye Fan, Wu Shi, and An Miaoyi.

Because Ye Fan and An Miaoyi had been relatively weak in their previous lives, they reincarnated within two hundred thousand years.

But Wu Shi the Great was different. His previous life had been Immortal King Wuzhong, powerful enough to leap directly from the Immortal Ancient Era to the Desolate Ancient Era, skipping over the long and chaotic Chaotic Ancient Years, as well as vast stretches of time such as the Mythological Era.

Find a reincarnator from a sufficiently ancient time, then use the Reincarnation Mirror on them... Zhou Tong secretly made up his mind. Over the next half month, he would visit every densely populated place and find someone ancient enough.

After returning home, Zhou Tong barely rested. He left his luggage at home, asked his parents for some starting funds, and immediately began taking action.

He started with the train stations in major cities. These were certainly among the places with the greatest flow of people. He only needed to stand at the entrance, and every day, massive crowds from all corners of the country would pass before him.

Zhou Tong did not need to pay attention to anything else. He only needed to focus on the roughly thirty percent who were reincarnators and carefully sense how far their previous lives were from the present era.

This one is promising. If my calculations are right, his previous life was at least five hundred thousand years ago! Zhou Tong silently compared him to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan's reincarnation date was relatively certain—more than two hundred thousand years ago. The aura of time surrounding this man was far stronger than Ye Fan's. Judging by its intensity, it should have been around five hundred thousand years.

Five hundred thousand years... according to the original timeline, that should be around the era of the earliest Great Emperors of the Desolate Era! Zhou Tong was secretly astonished. Perhaps he lived during the time of Great Emperor Fuxi or Great Empress Nuwa!

Great Emperors had once attained the Dao on Earth as well, such as Great Emperor Fuxi and Great Empress Nuwa.

Although these two Great Emperors were barely mentioned in the original work, judging by the timeline, they should have been among the earlier Great Emperors of the Desolate Era. It was even possible that after the Battle Saint Emperor brought the Primordial Era to an end, these two were the first Great Emperors to attain the Dao in the Desolate Era.

Should I choose him directly? Someone from that era who could reincarnate into the present must have possessed at least Saint, or even Great Sage, cultivation! Zhou Tong hesitated. Perhaps this Great Sage knows some method to activate the Wheel Sea?

Hm!? Just as he hesitated, an extremely dense aura suddenly entered Zhou Tong's heart through the Reincarnation Mirror.

He turned his head and saw a plain-looking middle-aged man walking toward the train station.

This... this reincarnation aura means he was an ancient person from millions, perhaps even tens of millions of years ago! Someone from the Chaotic Ancient Years? A trace of shock appeared in Zhou Tong's eyes. To have endured until the present after millions or even tens of millions of years is no simple matter! He may well have been a Supreme back then!

No need to choose anymore. It's you! Zhou Tong did not hesitate in the slightest. He directly mobilized the last remaining trace of power within the Reincarnation Mirror and shone it upon the man.

At once, a series of scenes appeared upon the Reincarnation Mirror's surface.

This was the man's previous life!

Every scene was from his perspective, everything he had seen and heard.

Countless scenes flowed across the Reincarnation Mirror one by one, but suddenly, they froze.

What is going on? This person is... Zhou Tong was shocked. The scenes within the Reincarnation Mirror had actually frozen because of one person?

It was a vague human figure seated in meditation, accompanied by boundless radiance and wrapped in endless chaotic mist.

Merely that blurred figure seemed to crush the Myriad Heavens. It was as though his entire body had become law itself. Such was his unrivaled bearing that he seemed like a Heavenly Emperor living in the world, ruling over all existence as the myriad worlds of the Myriad Heavens worshipped him.

What a terrifying aura. Even the Reincarnation Mirror can barely look upon him! Zhou Tong was utterly shaken.

It was not that the Reincarnation Mirror could not view him, but that observing him required an enormous amount of power. Zhou Tong had yet to embark upon cultivation and naturally could not provide such energy. The Reincarnation Mirror's remaining energy was limited; if he forced it to continue, it might be depleted in an instant.

There's no mistake. In that era, there was only one person with such an aura—

DESOLATE HEAVEN EMPEROR!!

To have encountered the Desolate Heaven Emperor, this reincarnated man must truly have been a Supreme in the past, and one with a close relationship to the Desolate Heaven Emperor. Judging from what I saw earlier, he should have been the Desolate Heaven Emperor's grand-disciple.

Zhou Tong quickly realized the man's identity and immediately decided, "Reincarnation Mirror, skip all unnecessary scenes and focus on this person's cultivation records."

The scenes on the Reincarnation Mirror shifted. The figure suppressing the Myriad Heavens vanished, replaced by a series of cultivation scenes. At the same time, secret cultivation methods flowed into Zhou Tong's mind.

But everything cut off halfway through. The Reincarnation Mirror's remaining energy had already been completely exhausted.

"Blood Moving, Heavenly Cave, Spirit Transformation, Inscription, Array Formation, Venerable, Divine Fire, True One, Saint Sacrifice, Heavenly Deity. As expected, this is the Cultivation System of the Chaotic Ancient Years!" After reviewing these cultivation records, Zhou Tong gained a deep understanding of the Chaotic Ancient Method.

"Unfortunately, the Reincarnation Mirror no longer has enough energy for me to see the cultivation methods of the final four realms, the essence of the Chaotic Ancient Method: Void Dao, Self-Severing, Escape to One, and Supreme."

"But it doesn't matter... Although the Cultivation System of the Chaotic Ancient Era is powerful, it clearly does not suit the present era very well. It is fine if I cannot see what comes after... The most important thing is the Heavenly Merit Treasure Techniques this man cultivated!"

But when Zhou Tong saw them, he was stunned.

"As expected of the Desolate Heaven Emperor's grand-disciple. He actually possesses even such treasure techniques!"
