As heaven and earth wailed in mourning, it foretold the fall of a Peerless Expert and the end of an era.
Only then did the myriad beings of the universe realize that, in this lifetime, there had also been a human Great Emperor known as the Great Emperor.
Having fused with the Heavenly Heart Seal and Proved Dao to Become Emperor, he should have become the sole sovereign of this era, ruling over the universe's eight desolations.
"My life really has been a failure!" the Great Emperor said with deep emotion.
Born in the same era as the Sky-Supporting Great Emperor, not only he, but everyone else had been overshadowed.
Take the Sky-Supporting Great Emperor's master, for instance. He had Proved Dao and Become Emperor with a Great Accomplishment Saint Body. In any other era, that would have been an unprecedented achievement.
He might not have created a glory comparable to the ancient Heavenly Court, but he certainly could have ushered in a dazzling era and been remembered by later generations.
Yet, like him, that Great Accomplishment Saint Body had also fallen silent in this era and gradually been forgotten by the world.
It could not be helped! It was not that they were not outstanding enough, but that the Sky-Supporting Great Emperor was simply too heaven-defying!
What they took pride in became nothing more than trivial matters before the Sky-Supporting Great Emperor.
No matter how hard they strove, they could not even see the Sky-Supporting Great Emperor's back. How could they possibly be mentioned in the same breath as him?
Even if Emperor Venerate had been born in this era, he likely would have been eclipsed by the Sky-Supporting Great Emperor's brilliance and reduced to a supporting role.
"Success and failure are not defined by others, but by oneself!"
