Chi You had once fought Xuanyuan for the imperial throne, but that was not the reason he died.
The reason he was killed through the combined efforts of the two Quasi-Emperors, Xuanyuan and Lieshan, was entirely because Chi You had already fallen into demonic corruption at the time. It was truly unbelievable—the Chi You whose Emperor's Body had developed a spirit had fallen into demonic corruption.
Chi You's origins were extraordinary. Or rather, the three protagonists of the Battle of Zhuolu—Lieshan, Xuanyuan, and Chi You—were all exceptionally extraordinary existences. Like Lao Dan and Shakya, they had once been imperial-level powerhouses who had formed Reincarnation Seals, then been reborn into the world after their Emperor corpses developed spirits.

However, all the relatives connected to their current bodies had long since perished. Even if some of their imperial heirs still survived, were they truly their sons?
Chi You was lonely because he had no family. Although he had countless brothers and clansmen at the time, none of them were related to him by blood. Yet he was also fortunate, because in the era he lived in, there was more than one person whose Emperor corpse had developed a spirit.
Their similar experiences allowed these Emperor-corpse spirit cultivators to communicate and form friendships. Chi You, Xuanyuan, and Lieshan in particular had once been extremely close friends. But everything changed after Chi You fell into demonic corruption.
