Now that his Chaos Body had proven the Dao, he possessed Heavenly Emperor-level combat power in his first life.

However, Chen Zhao felt not the slightest pride. Before the Weird Race, his current strength was nothing more than a joke.

Not to mention the Undying Heavenly Emperor hidden behind the scenes, and Emperor Lord hidden even deeper. Their current strength had long surpassed the limits of Heavenly Emperor-level combat power.

"The Undying Heavenly Emperor should be in Nirvana." Chen Zhao recalled the plot of Covering the Sky.

At this point in time, the Undying Heavenly Emperor should have only just devoured the Sun Saint Emperor and entered a state of Nirvana.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor had embarked on the path of hunting emperors for their essence blood to undergo Nirvana.

If the Undying Heavenly Emperor had not been in Nirvana, he likely would have already moved to hunt Chen Zhao and seize the Chaos Body's origin.

By Later Generations, the Sun Saint Emperor's Dao tradition had been wiped out, with only scattered remnants of its bloodline remaining.

As for the Taiyin Saint Emperor's Dao tradition, it was even more tragic. By Later Generations, not even a single descendant remained.

The two had never wronged the Human Race, yet the Human Race had disappointed them. Fortunately, the Sun Saint Emperor's Great Dao Suppression had only just dissipated, and their Dao traditions still remained.

"Alas."

Chen Zhao could only sigh. The two Saint Emperors had spent their lives fighting for the Human Race, only to later suffer persecution at the hands of the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

By Later Generations, even their bloodlines and Dao traditions would be gone. It was truly miserable.

Luck surged toward Chen Zhao from all directions. With the dense power of luck empowering him, the Myriad Daos that had originally seemed somewhat obscure became a little clearer.

"The power of luck truly is mysterious."

It was an exceedingly mysterious power. The Bronze Gate could draw in external luck and suppress one's own luck.

The reason Chen Zhao had established the title of Human Emperor was to absorb the luck brought by that title.

Feeling the ceaseless influx of luck empowering him, joy involuntarily appeared at the corners of Chen Zhao's lips.

"This power?"

Chen Zhao suddenly frowned slightly, then abruptly came to a realization.

"Faith Power? Or rather, Sentient Beings' Vow Power."

Not only was luck gathering around him, but a special kind of power was also converging upon Chen Zhao.

Although this was his first contact with such power, Chen Zhao immediately recognized it.

Faith Power, also known as Sentient Beings' Vow Power.

A highly special and mysterious force.

In the ancient Immortal Ancient Era, someone had once relied on Faith Power to create the Way of Sacrificial Spirits and enter the realm of an Immortal King Giant.

During the Ancient Era, the Undying Heavenly Emperor had been revered by the Myriad Races. He gathered vast Faith Power and forged a Faith Incarnation—the Undying Taoist.

By the Desolate Ancient Era, there was Amitabha, the Buddha Emperor, who was deeply versed in Faith Power.

The Faith Dao was a Great Dao, but it came with tremendous restrictions.

After all, this power came from sentient beings. Relying on it meant forming Great Karma with them.

Chen Zhao had some interest in studying Faith Power.

However, he did not integrate Faith Power into himself. Instead, he used his Chaos Emperor Sword as a vessel, pouring the Faith Power gathering from all directions into it.

This Chaos Emperor Sword had been forged by Chen Zhao from Ascension Cyan Gold and was extraordinarily exceptional.

This was also due to Chen Zhao's heaven-defying luck. Before proving the Dao, he had already obtained Immortal Gold and forged it into his own weapon.

After accompanying him through the cleansing of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Chaos Great Dao woven into the Chaos Emperor Sword had long since transformed into Emperor Dao Laws.

The current Chaos Emperor Sword was a genuine Emperor Artifact.

Especially after being bathed in the essence blood of Carefree Heavenly Lord, a Mythological Ancient Heavenly Lord, the aura emitted by the Chaos Emperor Sword had become increasingly profound.

Now that Chen Zhao had poured Faith Power into the Chaos Emperor Sword, its aura gained an incomparably domineering presence.

It was an aura belonging solely to the Human Emperor.

All this Faith Power had arisen from the Human Race's reverence for him, their Human Emperor.

If the Chaos Emperor Sword absorbed this Faith Power for a long time, it would likely transform into a special Faith Artifact.

It would become a true Human Emperor Sword.

The Human Emperor ascended to the Nine Heavens!

For the Human Race, this was a momentous occasion.

After the two Ancient Emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, the Human Race had welcomed another new emperor.

The Human Emperor!

An emperor who took humanity as his title.

The birth of three emperors in succession meant that the status of the Human Race would greatly rise.

During the Mythological Era, many Heavenly Lords had emerged among the Human Race, making them the undisputed foremost race of the universe.

Unfortunately, after the Mythological Era ended, the Undying Heavenly Emperor became an emperor and was revered by the Myriad Races. The emperors who subsequently proved the Dao were basically all from the Ancient Races.

After these Ancient Races rose to power, the Human Race, which had gone too long without producing a Dao Prover, was like a child clutching gold bricks.

After all, many Human Race Dao traditions possessed Heavenly Lord scriptures. To the newly risen Ancient Races, these were all things worth coveting.

Although the Ancient Era's emperors would not suppress the Human Race, those Imperial Clans had no such reservations.

Thus, the Human Race suffered suppression, and many Heavenly Lord Dao Traditions were destroyed.

As for the Heavenly Lord Weapons, they had long been taken into the Life Forbidden Zones by those Heavenly Lords who had undergone Self-Severance.

This left the Human Race in an awkward position.

Human Races in places like the Big Dipper Starfield were even raised by the Ancient Races as blood food.

Fortunately, the two Human Emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, emerged and greatly improved the Human Race's circumstances.

Now that the Human Emperor had proven the Dao, it meant that in the time ahead—

The Human Race would prosper!

Ziwei Ancient Star.

It was an exceptionally ancient Life Star. Purple Qi coiled around it, and its Life Essence was rich. It was unquestionably a Source of Life Soil.

The two Human Emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, had both originated from Ziwei Star.

The Taiyin Sun God Sect was now located on the Ziwei Emperor Star.

In this era, the Ziwei Emperor Star was unquestionably the foremost Life Star, the true center of the universe and a place where luck converged.

Especially after the successive emergence of the Taiyin and Sun Saint Emperors.

Even Chen Zhao had been born on the Ziwei Emperor Star.

Unfortunately, the Ziwei Emperor Star would ultimately decline in the future.

Yet even the Ziwei Emperor Star after its decline would still produce the Hengyu Great Emperor in Later Generations.

The Life Forbidden Zones and Extreme Dao Forces had all been established on Big Dipper Star.

However, the Big Dipper Star of this era had yet to be developed by the Human Race. Big Dipper was the territory of the Ancient Races.

Only after the Desolate Ancient Era would Great Emperors emerge from the Big Dipper Star like bamboo shoots after rain.

Upon arriving at the Ziwei Emperor Star, Chen Zhao could not help feeling somewhat melancholy.

Unlike those Ancient Emperors, who had clans to rely on, his parents had died when he was young, and he had later grown up under the care of an Old Sage.

That Old Sage had long since passed away.

After arriving at the Ziwei Emperor Star, the condition of the entire star was laid bare before Chen Zhao's eyes.

The entire star was filled with festivity, decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, as though celebrating his ascension as emperor.

"First, I should perfect my own Great Dao."

Although he had already proven the Dao, Chen Zhao knew that his Great Dao had yet to be properly sorted out and still had enormous room for growth.

Although the Old Sage had fallen, the Saint Dao Tradition he left behind could still serve as a temporary place for Chen Zhao to settle.
