Revive the Void Emperor!

Big Dipper Star Domain!

In the distance lay a range of black mountains, each one worthy of being called a king among mountains, an emperor among peaks, majestic and imposing.

This was Immortal Mountain, one of the seven great Life Forbidden Zones of the Eastern Wasteland. It had existed since ancient times, with supreme beings lying dormant within.

There were far too many terrifying legends surrounding Immortal Mountain. The Dark Turmoil had once erupted here, turning the earth into a river of blood.

Had the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body and the Void Emperor not emerged one after another and spent the strength of two lifetimes suppressing it all, the history of the human race in the Eastern Wasteland might have been rewritten.

By now, both the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body and the Void Emperor had passed away. Ordinary people did not dare approach Immortal Mountain at all.

Yet today, someone had come near Immortal Mountain—a tall, spirited youth.

As he drew near Immortal Mountain, the aura became exceedingly terrifying, but the youth paid it no heed and arrived at its outskirts.

"Immortal Mountain? One day, I'll destroy this place!" the youth said coldly.

His name was Li Ping. He had transmigrated into the Shrouding the Heavens World some time ago and awakened a system.

As long as he could shock anyone, he could obtain Shock Value, which could be exchanged for all sorts of things.

What tempted him the most was the ability to bring the dead back to life!

There were far too many regrets in the Shrouding the Heavens World!

The Nine Sacred Bodies had battled the heavens, holding up a sky for the human race!

The Void Emperor, who had never been weaker than anyone in his life, had shed his last drop of blood to protect all living beings!

The selfless Sun Sacred Emperor had led the human race toward the light, yet even in death, he had been unable to return his soul to his homeland!

If it were possible to revive these peerless heroes, could they create even more possibilities?

The answer was certainly yes. If they had not been born into this world, these peerless heroes would surely have had even more glorious futures!

Over the years, relying on his advantage of foreknowledge, he had finally accumulated a vast amount of Shock Value.

Today, he had come near Immortal Mountain to revive the Void Emperor!

The Void Emperor, who had mastered the ultimate of the void, defeated countless supreme beings, quelled turmoil, protected all living beings, and had never been weaker than anyone in his life!

If one had to name the most tragic human emperor, it would undoubtedly be the Void Emperor!

He clearly possessed peerless talent, yet he had been born in the era when the Dark Turmoil was most frequent, forcing him to fight an entire age alone!

He clearly held Immortal Medicine in his hands, yet the Void Emperor had quietly passed away after living for only a little over ten thousand years!

If he had been born in a peaceful era, with the Void Emperor's peerless talent, could he have fought for a lifetime of immortality?

"System! Revive the Void Emperor!"

"Ding! Beginning deduction of Shock Value! One billion Shock Value has been deducted!"

"Ding! Beginning detection!"

"Spacetime passage opened. The Desolate Ancient Era has been locked onto."

Only Li Ping himself understood that, in order to gather one billion Shock Value, he had worked for several hundred years!

But this was the Void Emperor! Not to mention one billion—even two billion would have been worth it!

All of a sudden, an image appeared in Li Ping's mind!

Outside Immortal Mountain, a majestic figure stood in the void, an ancient bronze mirror suspended above his head!

Li Ping's face filled with excitement. Was this the scene from back then, when the Void Emperor had confronted the supreme beings outside Immortal Mountain?

He truly had not come to the wrong place. Only at the place where the Void Emperor had fought a bloody battle could spacetime be broken and the Void Emperor return to the world!

"Reviving the Void Emperor."

"Ding! The Void Emperor has been revived!"

A figure suddenly appeared before Li Ping. He was an utterly ordinary middle-aged man.

He looked plain and unremarkable, simple and natural, yet he possessed an extraordinary bearing.

"Where is this? Wasn't I dead?" the Void Emperor murmured softly.

He clearly remembered that, back then, he had feigned death and lured out four supreme beings from Immortal Mountain, ultimately dragging two of them down with him.

To protect the human race, he had shed his last drop of blood. Though he had died, he had no regrets!

Yet at this very moment, he could clearly feel that he was alive again!

Suddenly, an incomparably vast ultimate aura pierced through the past, present, and future, erupting in an instant!

A peak ultimate emperor needed only to stand there to tower over ancient and modern times, shaking the world and stirring the heavens!

Yes! Not only had he come back to life, he was also at the very peak of his life!

But how had he come back to life?

He instinctively looked around and was soon drawn to a figure.

It was a youth, unaffected by the Supreme Emperor Armament—and he could not see through him at all?

"Who are you? Did you revive me?" the Void Emperor asked.

There were only him and the youth before him here, yet he could not see through the youth's strength.

If nothing unexpected had happened, it should have been this youth who revived him.

Reviving the dead, and an ultimate emperor like him at that—it was easy to imagine how terrifying the youth before him must be!

"That's right! I revived you! I am the master of the Heavenly Court. You may call me the 'Heavenly Emperor'!" Li Ping said calmly.

Although he had been outside Immortal Mountain just now, the place where he revived the Void Emperor had actually been within the system space.

This was a setting of the system, meant to prevent the host from being killed by a resurrected powerhouse while reviving someone.

Within the system space, he was the absolute ruler. Not to mention an emperor—even an immortal emperor could be erased with a wave of his hand!

"Heavenly Court? The Heavenly Court founded by Emperor Venerate?" the Void Emperor asked.

During the Mythological Era, Emperor Venerate had founded the Heavenly Court and created an incomparably brilliant era.

"No! The Heavenly Court has existed since ancient times and spans the Myriad Worlds. This place is merely one small corner!" Li Ping shook his head.

The Void Emperor's heart skipped a beat. He could no longer remain calm as he stared at the youth before him in disbelief.

Had this youth truly revived him?

It had existed since ancient times? It spanned the Myriad Worlds?

Just what kind of being was this youth?

Could he be one of the legendary immortals?

"Why did you revive me? What exactly do you intend to do?"

The Void Emperor quickly regained his composure. Staring at the youth before him, he asked calmly.

"Rest assured, Emperor, I mean you no harm. I revived you because you once fought to protect the human race. I wish to invite you to join the Heavenly Court!"

In the Void Emperor's gaze, Li Ping saw scrutiny and resolve.

He was certain that if he showed even the slightest sign of endangering all living beings, the Void Emperor would absolutely fight him to the death!

However, he had never harbored any other intentions, so he calmly met the Void Emperor's gaze.

Seeing the youth's frank expression, the Void Emperor could finally set his worries aside.

"I'll join," the Void Emperor said after pondering for a moment.

One could not catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den.

He wanted to see what sort of existence this Heavenly Court, which had existed since ancient times and spanned the Myriad Worlds, truly was.

Moreover, only by seeing it with his own eyes could he truly be at ease.

"Very good! This jade slip contains an introduction to the Heavenly Court. You may take a look!" Li Ping said with a smile.

The Void Emperor accepted the jade slip and focused his divine sense within it, quickly seeing the contents recorded there.

The more he read, the more shocked he became. By the time he finished, the Void Emperor's face was filled with astonishment.
