Across the major Life Forbidden Zones, inexplicable auras stirred awake, rousing the Supremes from their slumber once again.
After awakening, every Supreme wore a speechless expression. If they had a choice, they truly did not want to wake up.
How long had it even been?
During their eternal slumber, they spent most of their time asleep. No matter how the world changed, it could not stir them in the slightest.
Yet in this short span of time, they had been awakened from their slumber again and again.
Once or twice would have been fine, but who could endure being disturbed every so often?
Yet they had no choice but to awaken. That aura that filled heaven and earth was simply too shocking!
"Who is this? It is neither the Void Emperor nor that one from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone!"
"Other than those few, there is actually such a powerful expert in this world? Could another Great Emperor have returned to the world?"
"It is him! He is the Human Emperor from the Primordial Era. He is actually still alive?"
The Supremes were all utterly shocked. Countless thoughts flashed through their minds, and the more they considered it, the graver their expressions became.
They could not help but think deeply about it. The Void Emperor had already returned to the world, and that one from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land had personally made a move.
If another human Great Emperor returned to the world, how could they compete when the Path to Immortality opened?
Within Immortal Mountain, the Stone Emperor frowned slightly. For some reason, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
The Void Emperor had returned to the world, charged into Immortal Mountain, and slapped him twice.
That one from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone had emerged and gone even further, charging into Immortal Mountain and beating him viciously!
There was no need to think about it. He had now become a joke among the Supremes. How was he supposed to face anyone in the future?
He had never expected that, after so little time, another Human Emperor would emerge!
He fixed his eyes on the Human Emperor, terrified that he would charge straight for Immortal Mountain without a word.
Within the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, the Void Emperor slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Divine Thought of the Sun Sacred Emperor, which had arrived by tearing through the void.
"That Heavenly Emperor has made a move again. This time, he actually revived the Sun Sacred Emperor!" the Void Emperor murmured.
He had seen the mission issued by the Heavenly Court, so he was not actually surprised by the appearance of the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought.
What truly concerned him was that the Sun Sacred Emperor had already returned to the world. This meant there were now two human Great Emperors in this world.
Even if the Path to Immortality opened and the greatest Dark Turmoil in history descended, they would not be without the strength to fight.
Afterward, he closed his eyes again. He did not have much time left and had to attempt the most crucial step.
The Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought took a single step. With Stars Shifting, he crossed countless billions of miles and arrived at the Sea of Reincarnation.
"He is not a living Human Emperor. He is merely a strand of divine consciousness awakened after a Divine Thought was purified!"
The Supremes quickly saw through the truth and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lowering much of their guard.
Compared to a Human Emperor truly returning to the world, a mere Divine Thought was entirely insignificant.
The Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought ignored the Supremes. Upholding the Sun Sacred Emperor's will, he intended to intimidate the major Life Forbidden Zones.
Thus, without the slightest concern, he stepped into the Sea of Reincarnation, arrived at the place where the Supremes slept, and silently watched for a moment.
Then, he departed from the Sea of Reincarnation and entered Burial Island, the Divine Ruins, the Immortal Mausoleum, and the Primordial Ancient Mine in succession.
Whenever he reached a Life Forbidden Zone, he would go to where the Supremes slumbered and silently watch them for a time.
Although no great battle broke out, the atmosphere was exceptionally tense. No one could say whether a battle would erupt the next moment.
The Supremes felt this especially strongly. They always felt that the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought was looking at them in a very unusual way.
There was a faint killing intent within his vigilance. They did not doubt that the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought might suddenly attack.
Fortunately, it ultimately proved to be a false alarm. The Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought eventually left, but he had carved an indelible mark into the hearts of the Supremes.
When the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought arrived at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone, the Ruthless Emperor appeared atop the sacred mountain and silently faced him.
The Sun Sacred Emperor, like the Void Emperor, has returned to the world! the Ruthless Emperor thought to herself.
The Supremes saw the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought, but what she saw was the Sun Sacred Emperor, who had already returned to the world.
The reason was simple. The Sun Sacred Emperor was already a member of the Heavenly Court. If he had not returned to the world, how could that have been possible?
The Heavenly Court was truly unfathomable. After restoring the Void Emperor to the world, it had actually restored the Sun Sacred Emperor so quickly as well.
The Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought cupped his hands toward the Ruthless Emperor in salute. Then he left the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone and arrived at his final stop, Immortal Mountain.
"Damn it! Why did he come to Immortal Mountain last?" The Stone Emperor's expression grew increasingly grave as he cursed countless times in his heart.
The Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought had not clashed with any of the other Life Forbidden Zones. By all reason, he should have felt at ease.
Yet for some unknown reason, as he watched the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought draw closer and closer, the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger.
No way! No way! It could not always be him who was unlucky, could it?
The Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought entered Immortal Mountain and, like in the other Life Forbidden Zones, arrived at the Stone Emperor's place of slumber.
Silently watching the Stone Emperor, the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought showed no intention of attacking.
The Stone Emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. See? There was no way he could be that unlucky!
But in the next instant, the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought abruptly vanished, replaced by a golden sun radiating boundless light.
The great sun hung high in the sky, releasing countless rays of light and pouring down endless flames. Chaos swirled around it as it enveloped all of Immortal Mountain.
"NO!"
The Stone Emperor went mad. Before the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought dissolved into the Dao, it had left behind a great sun—this was the final trace the Sun Sacred Emperor had left in the world.
It contained only one strike. After that strike, like a candle burned to its end, it would completely vanish from the world.
Clearly, the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought had planned everything long ago. What he could not understand was why it had to be Immortal Mountain.
There were seven Life Forbidden Zones in the Big Dipper. Why had it chosen Immortal Mountain of all places?
Would Burial Island not have worked? Would the Primordial Ancient Mine not have worked?
Whom had he provoked?
The Void Emperor wanted to slap him twice, the Desolate Lord wanted to beat him viciously, and now the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought wanted to leave its final strike on him too?
The Stone Emperor's roar echoed through heaven and earth, enough to make those who heard it grieve and those who listened shed tears.
The Supremes remained silent. Better a fellow cultivator dies than oneself; what did the Stone Emperor's injuries have to do with them?
At the same time, Li Ping watched his Shock Value continuously rise. He silently gave the Sun Sacred Emperor a thumbs-up, his heart bursting with joy.
"Qi Tian Supreme mistakenly believes that the Sun Sacred Emperor has returned to the world. He is terrified. Shock Value +1000000!" "The Ruthless Emperor marvels at the Heavenly Court's grand methods, believing it has revived the Sun Sacred Emperor. Shock Value +1700000!" "The Stone Emperor is furious from humiliation and suspects he is being deliberately targeted. He is overcome with grief and indignation. Shock Value +1000000!"
As the Sun Sacred Emperor's Divine Thought descended upon the Big Dipper and traversed the Life Forbidden Zones, he harvested another enormous amount of Shock Value from the Supremes.
Among them, the Stone Emperor provided the most Shock Value, surpassing Duan De and becoming the undisputed top donor.
