Great Uprising!

[As everyone knows, only the Human Race can give birth to Heavenly Emperor.]

[Even if Alien Race cultivate to the point of death, taking the most wicked paths, they will never produce Heavenly Emperor.]

[This is evidenced by the fact that no Alien Race Heavenly Emperor existed during the Heavenly Emperor Era, and that no Alien Race Heavenly Emperor has emerged since the end of that Heavenly Emperor Era.]

[As for why?]

[The Alien Race doesn't know.]

[Human Race don't know.]

[However, during the Heavenly Emperor Era, the Alien Race unanimously believed that they could not produce Heavenly Emperor because the Human Race Heavenly Emperor suppressed their destiny, and that they must overthrow the Human Race Heavenly Emperor to have a chance.]

[Thus, a conspiracy quietly spread throughout the universe, infecting all Alien Race like a virus.]

[Since ancient times, when the Heavenly Emperor ruled the world, it was always the Human Race that held the highest position and ruled over all other races, while all other races held a lower position and served the Human Race race. There has never been a case of Alien Race holding a higher position and ruling over the Human Race.]

This is the cosmic structure of the Heavenly Emperor Era.

[Although Human Race were the most noble race at that time, they did not treat Alien Race Human Race slaves, nor did they forbid Alien Race from learning this or that.]

The Human Race race has two attitudes towards Alien Race races.

[The first option is for you to submit to me, in which case I can spend some effort managing you and teaching you advanced techniques. Of course, this isn't free; you'll have to fight for me, provide me with resources, and so on.]

[The second option is: Do whatever you want, as long as you don't bother me. Who cares about your situation? We can't even compete with our own people.]

[Back then, Human Race wasn't a monolithic group; internal competition was fierce. After all, the universe is so vast, with so many galaxies, it's impossible for everyone to be one family.]

Unfortunately, the Alien Race itself is incompetent.

[Whether they submitted or were left to their own devices, their overall combat strength will never catch up with that of the Human Race.]

[Not to mention cultural soft power; in the eyes of Human Race at that time, there wasn't much difference Alien Race and savages.]

[As for becoming the Heavenly Emperor, that's just wishful thinking.]

[Later, some incredibly intelligent Alien Race suggested that the reason they were less Human Race Alien Race because the Human Race Heavenly Emperor had absorbed their destiny.]

[This viewpoint has gained increasing approval and support from people of Alien Race.]

If you don't want to look for problems within yourself, then you can only look for problems in others.

[But, do you want to overthrow the Heavenly Emperor?]

[Let alone the period when the Heavenly Emperor reigned supreme, even during the gap between two Heavenly Emperor, those powerful figures who were half-step Heavenly Emperor could have easily overwhelmed all races.]

Even when internal strife within the Human Race was rampant and various star systems were in chaos, a small, local warlord could still force neighboring Alien Race powers to kneel and swear allegiance.

[At that time, the Alien Race races were even more afraid of internal strife among Human Race than Human Race were.]

When Human Race is at peace, Alien Race can live a relatively peaceful life, at most having their profits squeezed out by Human Race in trade.

[Once the Human Race start fighting, nobody will talk about humanitarianism anymore. Trade? Trade my ass! Everyone's tied to the war machine!]

Ironically, the periods when Human Race was free from major upheavals were all periods of oppressive rule by the Heavenly Emperor.

[The Alien Race, instead of admitting their own incompetence, blamed the Heavenly Emperor.]

"With such a huge gap in strength, how did the Alien Race manage to seize their current position?"

["Contamination."]

["Contamination!"]

"You know about Contamination, right?"

["I know a little bit about this; it can make mortals lose their minds and cause Cultivator to regress in their cultivation and become unable to cultivate normally."]

"Contamination is a headache for every Heavenly Emperor. They don't know where they come from, and every time they appear, it's a cosmic catastrophe."

Contamination is the number one enemy of all the Heavenly Emperor.

Only the Heavenly Emperor can truly suppress Contamination.

Before the Heavenly Emperor, the Human Race could only try to seal away the Contamination, and then hand it over to the Heavenly Emperor to completely resolve when Heavenly Emperor Descends.

A history of Human Race, half of which is about the Contamination of the Heavenly Emperor's town...

[Every time Contamination descends upon the world, it is always the Heavenly Emperor and the Human Race who are at the forefront. Alien Race only know that Contamination is terrible, but not as deeply as the Human Race. Some Alien Race don't even take Contamination seriously.]

The last Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race was the Radiant Heavenly Emperor.

[During his tenure, Contamination reached an unprecedented level; the frequency and extent of its outbreaks were rarely seen in history.]

[The Radiant Heavenly Emperor led the Immortal Court in numerous campaigns, quelling Contamination and saving the people; his life was truly filled with toil.]

[While the Heavenly Emperor and the Immortal Court were battling Contamination, the Alien Race behind the scenes began to secretly coordinate their efforts.]

[The most powerful Alien Race forces in the universe, colluding with some core Human Race forces, took advantage of the Heavenly Emperor and the Immortal Court's preoccupation to carry out a senseless and indiscriminate bloody massacre of the core Human Race.]

[Numerous Alien Race quickly joined in, and almost all Alien Race forces seized this opportunity to launch attacks on the Human Race forces around them.]

This devastating war spread throughout the universe, affecting all races.

[Despite Human Race's desperate counterattack, the strongest among them are battling Contamination, shielding the entire universe from its greatest threat.]

[Heroes are fading away, corpses lie strewn across the fields, and blood stains the sky.]

[The sacred site was destroyed; a great fire left only scorched earth.]

[Resources plundered, a band of robbers, a scene of utter devastation.]

That was the worst possible time for Human Race.

[Because at that time, in addition to external Contamination, the Human Race was also on the verge of a new internal competition.]

[Severe discord exists between numerous star-level powers within this galaxy.]

[In the early stages of the Alien Race Great Uprising, the major star systems did not support each other, observed each other, and even cut off their Star Lane.]

Everyone thought this was just another rebellion by Alien Race.

[By the time they realized that the Alien Race had come to slaughter Human Race, it was too late.]

[Too many people have died, too many resources have been taken away, and it's incredibly difficult for the remaining people to resist.]

[Furthermore, many Human Race surrendered and defected, dealing another heavy blow to the Human Race.]

Finally, the Alien Race even attacked the heavily Contamination areas, launching a surprise attack on the Immortal Court, which was suppressing the Contamination, and killing even the most powerful members of the Human Race.

[As for the Radiant Heavenly Emperor.]

He suppressed all the Contamination with his own life, and although he killed hundreds of Alien Race Immortal Emperor in his final moments, he was powerless to reverse the situation.

"The Alien Race have finally realized their millennia-long scheme, destroying the Immortal Court, sending away the Heavenly Emperor, and seizing control of the entire universe!"

"Are these Alien Race idiots? Without the Heavenly Emperor, what will they do if the Contamination returns?"

"They thought the Heavenly Emperor was right there, and anyone could be the one; it was just a matter of taking turns. If the Human Race couldn't produce Heavenly Emperor, it would be their turn."

Therefore, after the Great Uprising, they relentlessly suppressed the Human Race, a practice that continues to this day.

As a result, many Alien Race were completely unaware of the Great Uprising, yet they still habitually suppressed the Human Race.

As it turns out, the position of Heavenly Emperor is not fixed and cannot be held by just anyone; only the Human Race, with its highest potential, has the opportunity to become it.

However, these Alien Race encountered two lucky events.

First, the Radiant Heavenly Emperor and the Contamination perished together, allowing them to achieve final victory in the Great Uprising.

Secondly, although Contamination will still occur after the Radiant Heavenly Emperor, its scale and intensity will be far less than Heavenly Emperor Era, and the Alien Race themselves can barely manage to resolve it.
