The Sun Sacred Emperor looked at the man before him in uncertainty. This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
As a human Sacred Emperor, he had been invincible throughout the world. No one could make him fear, nor could anyone elude his insight.
But the person before him was different. He calmly endured his aura, as if the vast might of an ultimate Ancient Sovereign did not exist at all.
Could this person before him be one of the legendary immortals?
Only a legendary immortal could be so unfathomable, and only one could bring him back from death!
"Who are you? Did you bring me back from death?"
After a long silence, the Sun Sacred Emperor finally voiced the doubt in his heart.
"That is correct! I am the Lord of the Heavenly Court. You may address me as the Heavenly Emperor!" Li Ping said.
Having experience reviving the Void Emperor, he was already exceptionally composed when facing the Sun Sacred Emperor.
Just as before, he explained the origins of the Heavenly Court to the Sun Sacred Emperor and invited him to join it.
The Sun Sacred Emperor remained silent. His heart was far less calm than his appearance suggested; in fact, enormous waves had been stirred within it.
It had existed since ancient times, so ancient that its origins could not be traced?
It spanned the Myriad Worlds, with power so vast it was beyond imagination?
As long as one possessed Points, one could revive those who had passed away?
Every single one of these claims overturned everything he had once known, making them difficult to believe.
As far as he knew, Emperor Venerate had also founded a Heavenly Court, but it was not even one ten-thousandth as formidable as the current Heavenly Court.
Yet his own revival was the best proof, more convincing than a thousand words!
Moreover, he had observed for so long, yet still could not see through the person before him.
No! More accurately, even the space he currently occupied was highly abnormal!
Such methods were simply unfathomable. Even legendary immortals could not possibly give him this feeling.
In other words, this Heavenly Emperor was very likely a powerhouse above immortals. What sort of realm was that?
"I am willing to join the Heavenly Court!" the Sun Sacred Emperor said.
He wanted to see for himself what kind of existence the Heavenly Court truly was, and whether it would harm all living beings.
In any case, he had already returned from death. Being able to live another life was already an immense gain. Even if he fell once more, it would not amount to much.
But if everything this Heavenly Emperor said was true, then given the Heavenly Court's strength, it should disdain harming all living beings.
Moreover, becoming immortal had once been his lifelong pursuit. Yet he now suddenly realized that beyond immortality, there were even more possibilities.
If he did not know, then so be it. But now that he knew, how could he not personally go and see?
The Heavenly Court was undoubtedly one such possibility. After joining it, he might be able to witness a broader world.
"Take this token. From this day onward, you are a member of the Heavenly Court. The era has already changed."
It was still the same speech. After briefly introducing the current era, he had the Sun Sacred Emperor go find Li Ping.
On one hand, he was the unfathomable Heavenly Emperor, maintaining the mysterious facade of an expert and rarely coming into contact with the revived Human Emperors.
On the other hand, he was Li Ping, a member of the Heavenly Court, effectively serving as its receptionist.
After explaining everything, Li Ping waved his hand and sent the Sun Sacred Emperor out of the system space.
Though a long time seemed to have passed within the system space, only an instant had gone by outside.
Ye Fan and the others were still immersed in shock as they gazed at the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought, which was nearly merging with the Dao, their faces filled with emotion.
Their vision blurred, and Ye Fan and the others suddenly discovered an additional figure before them. Once they clearly saw his appearance, all of them were utterly horrified.
Though one was a one-armed old man and the other a youthful young man in his prime, their faces were simply too alike.
It was as if they were the same person at different stages of life, one young and one old.
The crucial point was that this was the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought!
That youth looked so similar to the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought. Could he be the Sun Sacred Emperor's descendant?
Or perhaps, that youth was the Sun Sacred Emperor himself?
"Ye Fan saw the Sun Sacred Emperor. Terror filled his heart. Shock Value +10000!" "Black Emperor saw the Sun Sacred Emperor, his dog eyes widening in disbelief. Shock Value +2000!" "Dragon Horse saw the Sun Sacred Emperor and was filled with uncertainty. Shock Value +20000!"
Li Ping was not surprised in the slightest. No matter who it was, seeing the Sun Sacred Emperor would likely leave them equally shocked.
However, this was merely the beginning. Ye Fan and the others still had plenty of shocking days ahead of them.
The Sun Sacred Emperor looked at the Divine Thought before him and instantly understood everything. His face was filled with emotion.
"You have suffered," the Sun Sacred Emperor said.
He pointed with one finger. The Divine Thought's body trembled, ripples spreading across him as he transformed into dark radiance and became a black sun.
Divine light spilled from the Sun Sacred Emperor's body, cleansing the Divine Thought of its malicious thoughts. The black sun transformed into a blazing sun.
The Divine Thought's gaze gradually cleared. He understood his past and present lives, and a trace of the aura of an ancient Human Emperor emerged from him.
"Ancient Sovereign? It's you? You have actually reappeared in the world!" the Divine Thought said excitedly.
He was merely a wisp of the Sun Sacred Emperor's divine consciousness, not even one ten-thousandth as powerful as the Sun Sacred Emperor. Only with the Sun Sacred Emperor's help had he regained his sanity.
He had struggled through ages upon ages solely to return the Sun Sacred Emperor to his homeland, so that he would not be buried in a foreign land.
Now, he had actually seen the Sun Sacred Emperor reappear in the world. The shock and excitement in his heart were easy to imagine.
"The Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought saw the Sun Sacred Emperor. His emotions surged. Shock Value +500000!"
Li Ping was somewhat surprised. He had not expected the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought to provide him with Shock Value just by being shocked.
The Sun Sacred Emperor had only just been revived, yet he was already contributing Shock Value. This was truly an unexpected delight!
Seeing this, Li Ping could not help but have an idea. Secretly, he issued a mission in the Heavenly Court.
The Sun Sacred Emperor sensed it. His divine consciousness gathered within the token, and he immediately saw a mission.
"Deter Big Dipper: Have the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought travel to the Big Dipper Star Domain and deter the major Life Forbidden Zones! Mission Reward: 5000 Points!"
This mission was closely connected to him. Clearly, that mysterious Heavenly Emperor was silently watching him.
Though he had only just become a member of the Heavenly Court, he knew that Points were immensely precious and could even revive those who had passed away.
Without the slightest hesitation, he accepted the mission. Deterring the major Life Forbidden Zones had already been his wish!
He could also take this opportunity to see whether the Heavenly Court had any other motives!
"I have returned! Go to Big Dipper in my stead!" the Sun Sacred Emperor said.
Though the Divine Thought had regained his sanity, he had already merged with the Dao and could not exist for long.
Being able to deter the major Life Forbidden Zones could be considered one final contribution to the world.
The Divine Thought nodded. Taking one step forward, he used Stars Shifting, transforming into an immortal beam of light that vanished in an instant.
In the Big Dipper Star Domain, the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought strode through the starry sky. His powerful divine consciousness swept across heaven and earth like an overwhelming tide.
A peerless aura spread outward, and the ultimate might of an Ancient Sovereign blanketed heaven and earth. Countless living beings could not stop trembling, their hearts filled with terror.
Within the major Life Forbidden Zones, the Supremes who had once again fallen asleep were roused. Their eyes were filled with uncertainty.
What was going on? Had another Human Emperor reappeared in the world?
