Transition Arc
"Oh right, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. The Human Realm originally had energy, but it was all absorbed by the Human Emperor Sword in Mount Tai."
"Therefore, the Human Realm today is in a state of Dharma depletion, devoid of any energy." Richard once again calmly unleashed a thunderbolt.
"Damn it, what kind of Human Emperor is this? I'm going to dismantle that damn Human Emperor Sword right now!" Upon hearing this news, Fang Ping was furious, his blood boiling, and veins bulging on his face.
"I don't recommend you go. You can't do anything to that sword now. Besides, that sword is in the hands of the Human Emperor. Once it's moved, the Human Emperor in the Origin Land will immediately sense it."
"The consequences will be far beyond what the current Human Realm can afford," Richard said.
Fang Ping gradually calmed down; he really couldn't act impulsively. He had no one to rely on now; he was the strongest fighter in the human world and needed to be responsible for the entire Human Realm. He had no right to be willful.
"That's right. Don't even think about dealing with the Human Emperor Sword if you don't have the strength to Break Nine." Richard nodded and said.
"Break Nine? What kind of realm is that? Could you explain it to me in detail, senior?" Fang Ping asked.
At the same time, I made a fierce vow: wait until I have the strength to Break Nine level, then I will dismantle that sword.
"Alright, I'll tell you. That old devil, the Heavenly Suppressing King, has been keeping this a secret; he hasn't even told you this before."
I guess they were afraid you'd be too desperate, since the martial artists in the Human Realm were indeed very weak before, with Peak.
I won't go into the details below the Peak; you all know that very well.
Starting from the Peak, the Origin Dao stretches for a kilometer, which translates to approximately 800,000 to 2 million calories of Rank Nine and blood for the ninth rank. In the present day, the Earth Cave refer to this realm as the True King, while in ancient times it was called the True God. Therefore, the Rank Nine realm is also known as the False God Realm.
Your true realm is the False God Realm, your blood and qi are at the True God Realm, and your combat power, combined with the Divine Artifact in your hand, barely qualifies you as Emperor Level.
Emperor Level, which is the combat power level you are at now, was called Title True God in ancient times, and its Origin Dao is over ten thousand meters.
The amount of Qi and blood is approximately between two and four million calories.
Above the Emperor Level is the Saint Level, which is roughly the strength of the Thirty-Six Saints conferred in ancient times. Their Origin Dao is 80,000 to 100,000 meters long, and their Qi and Blood are roughly between 4 million and 4.8 million calories.
Next is the Heavenly King Heavenly King Level, which can be further divided into three levels based on the spatial layers that can be broken by the power of qi and blood.
Break Six Heavenly King Level, its Origin Dao has exceeded 100,000 meters, and its attack power can easily break through the sixth layer of space. Its blood and energy are approximately between 4.8 million and 9.6 million calories.
It is at the level of the Seventh Heavenly King, with an attack power capable of breaking through the seventh layer of space, and its health is approximately between 9.6 million and 19.2 million calories.
Break Eight Heavenly King Level, with an attack power capable of breaking through the eighth layer of space, and its health is approximately between 19.2 million and 38 million calories.
Break Nine Quasi-Emperor Level generally has a blood and qi level of over 40 million calories. The Nine Emperors and Four Sovereigns of ancient times were roughly in this range of strength.
However, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the strength of these surviving emperors has increased accordingly.
Even the weaker ones have 70-80 million cards, while the stronger ones have over 100 million cards. Therefore, those who have just Break Nine can only be considered quasi-emperors; they are still quite a distance from the veteran emperors.
As Richard spoke, he glanced at the Spirit Emperor, who was the weaker one, with only about 80 million calories of qi and blood.
The Spirit Emperor roughly understood the meaning behind his glance, and was somewhat annoyed. How could she, a powerful ruler, be looked down upon?
But considering Richard's unfathomable strength, well, he certainly has the right to look down on him.
She felt it was time to improve her strength; the Heavenly Emperor was a thing of the past, and she needed to set some new goals.
Richard ignored her thoughts and continued, "Among them, the Human Emperor's Chronicle is considered one of the stronger ones, with over 100 million units of Qi and Blood. That's why I told you to consider dealing with the Human Emperor Sword only after you 'Break Nine level."
Ji is the name of the Human Emperor; the names of these powerful figures from ancient times are generally single characters.
Besides the Human Emperor, those with over 100 million units of vital energy include the Earth Emperor, the Eastern Emperor, the God Emperor, and the Dou Heavenly Emperor.
These words silenced the New Martial once again. They were talking about spending millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of coins to increase their Qi and Blood, as if it were something that could be done very easily.
But even a typical Rank Nine only has a few hundred thousand Qi and Blood.
Among them, Fang Ping alone possesses nearly a million units of qi and blood.
The other people's Qi and Blood are still hovering around tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even two or three hundred thousand.
Even Wu Kuishan, another newly crowned Peak who isn't here, only has less than a million units of Qi and Blood.
No wonder the old ghost in town didn't tell them these things; he was genuinely afraid of crushing their confidence. Fang Ping thought to himself.
"How's it going? Feeling overwhelmed? Work hard! These emperors are not easy to deal with. If you don't want to end up as cannon fodder, then cultivate diligently."
"It won't be long before the Emperor appears. If none of your New Martial reach Break Nine by then, your lives will be in your own hands," Richard concluded.
"Then what about you, senior? The Nine Emperors and Four Emperors each have their own purposes. What are your purposes, senior? If they don't conflict with our New Martial New Martial, would you consider forming an alliance with us?" Fang Ping forced himself to calm down.
Since the situation is so complicated and they lack the strength, they might as well try to win over allies. It's not like they've done it before; Heavenly Emperor Longbian.
Wasn't that how Gong Juanzi and the overseas Shuili God Island were won over?
This is just the first time they've tried to win over such a powerful being. Judging from this senior's extensive knowledge of the Nine Emperors and Four Sovereigns, and the fact that he seemed to be in a dominant position in his interactions with the Spirit Emperor, with the Spirit Emperor never objecting from beginning to end.
He simply couldn't believe that this senior wasn't a king-level fighter.
"You've got a good plan, aren't you? I certainly wouldn't mind lending you a hand."
Unfortunately, I'm not from your world. There's an old man in your world who doesn't like me interfering in your affairs.
Besides, it's uncertain whether I'll still be in your world by then.
"So in the end, you still have to rely on yourselves," Richard said.
Fang Ping's face fell. "Who is it? So annoying. Don't they know how much pressure they're under right now?"
Then I was drawn to another sentence Richard said.
"What did you mean when you said we're not from our world? Are there other worlds beyond ours?"
He quickly asked, but what he really wanted to know was where the other Earth was. He had transmigrated here, and although he had been in this world for several years, he still wanted to know where the world of his previous life was.
Having a home you don't want to go back to and having a home you can't go back to are two different things.
Although he has parents and a younger sister in this world, he still misses his family from his previous life.
"Of course, chaos is endless, and the world is infinite. As for what you want to know, it's not in chaos, it's in your world," Richard said meaningfully.
He finally understood how great it felt to be a riddle solver.
Although you might feel like killing the riddle-maker when you encounter one, you'll know how awesome it is when you're the riddle-maker yourself.
Fang Ping was completely stunned. Just how many secrets did this senior know? Why did he feel like he was completely transparent in front of this person?
He's also a despicable riddle teller, always only saying half of what he means.
So where exactly is that world? Judging from the senior's tone, it seems his transmigration wasn't an accident. The Zhan Heavenly Emperor?
This senior just said that his cheat system was arranged by the Zhan Heavenly Emperor, so it's very possible that his time travel was also arranged by the Zhan Heavenly Emperor?
Where in this world could fit such a large planet as Earth?
Could it be that there are parallel universes? Or perhaps there's another Earth in space, and it's actually an alien?
One day I'll arrest all of you despicable riddle makers and give you a good beating.
"Senior, I have one last question. What is this Seed of Resurrection all about?" Fang Ping suddenly remembered this question.
Why did the Earth Cave initially attack Earth, a poor and desolate place devoid of even basic energy? Wasn't it because of the so-called Seed of Resurrection?
But they still didn't know what the Seed of Resurrection was. Even the people in the Earth Cave couldn't explain what the Seed of Resurrection was.
I don't know who leaked this information, but if they find out, I'll definitely tear this person to pieces.
"The Seed of Resurrection? I do know about Seed; in terms of efficacy, they are indeed quite powerful, making it easy to grant immortality. I wonder if this is what they're referring to."
But that thing isn't on Earth. Maybe it's just meant to incite the Earth Cave to wage war against the Human Realm. No need to worry about it.
"That thing isn't so easy to get. Even the emperors want it, how could it possibly be the turn of those lowly minions in the Earth Cave?" Richard said, then began to sneer.
These emperors are really cunning; they even spread the word about the Seed. If those things were so easy to find, these emperors would have already snatched them.
Seed are intelligent; ever since they were accidentally stolen by that old man Yang God in ancient times, they have been hiding them very well.
"So precious?" Fang Ping was taken aback. The Peak in the Earth Cave were fighting over this thing, but the masters of these later-emerged Blessed Land basically didn't care about it. He thought it wasn't anything special.
"Of course, if you can really get your hands on it, you're guaranteed to become an emperor, or even higher," Richard said.
"Senior, what was Fang Ping's identity in his previous life? Was he the Heavenly Emperor?" Li Hansong interrupted to ask.
"Cough cough cough--" Fang Ping coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment.
This Iron Head, why does he still remember the things I told him before?
Behind him, Li Changsheng and the other teachers and students looked at Fang Ping with half-smiles. They still remembered what Fang Ping had said to fool Wang Jinyang, Li Hansong, and Yao Chengjun before.
Unfortunately, Wang Jinyang and Yao Chengjun didn't believe it at all; only Li Hansong, that simpleton, did.
Now they've even asked it out in public.
Richard naturally knew about this as well. Even the Spirit Emperor, who had a blood feud with the Heavenly Emperor, couldn't help but look at Fang Ping. Lin Feng had sent her the plot, so she naturally knew about it too.
"Who is the Heavenly Emperor?"
"Your world has had two powerful figures who called themselves Heavenly Emperor, which one are you referring to?" Richard asked with a smile.
"Oh? There are actually two Heavenly Emperor? Could you tell me about them, senior?" Li Hansong then asked.
"Well done, Iron Head. I'd like to know too," Fang Ping thought to himself.
"Okay, let's talk about it then. I'm quite familiar with the one who's been Cang Mao longer."
"Tengu: A playmate of the Azure Cat. After falling from the Heavenly Court, he cultivated to the Seventh Heavenly King realm and called himself the Heavenly Emperor." Before Richard finished speaking, many people behind Fang Ping couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, Fang Ping, you were a dog in your past life, huh? That's hilarious!" Li Changsheng couldn't help but burst into laughter, showing no respect whatsoever to Fang Ping, the newly appointed Minister of the Heaven Department and the de facto leader of the Human Race.
With Li Changsheng taking the lead, the others couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
"Stop laughing! If you laugh again, I'll throw all your children into the Earth Cave!" Fang Ping said angrily.
"This is definitely not me, senior, please tell me about the other Heavenly Emperor." He urged Richard.
"The other one is someone of great stature. One of the Primordial Martial Dao leaders in ancient times, the founder of the Origin Dao, and a teacher revered by all emperors—"
"Yes, yes, that's me. Sure enough, I was awesome in my past life." Before Richard could finish introducing himself, Fang Ping interrupted.
He was utterly shameless; knowing that most people here knew he was definitely not the Heavenly Emperor, he still brazenly claimed the identity.
"He is also the greatest mastermind and schemer of all time, preparing to abandon the Origin Dao and World Destruction to start anew." Richard's voice rang out leisurely.
"Um, senior, could you please stop pausing when you speak? Can you just finish your sentence at once?" Fang Ping looked at Richard with a resentful expression.
"So this Heavenly Emperor is the final boss? The kind we need to work together to overthrow?" he then asked.
This Heavenly Emperor sounds like a peerless villain, even more imposing than emperors.
However, having already heard too many shocking revelations, this group's psychological threshold had been raised considerably, and they were not shocked even by the news about the Heavenly Emperor.
"That's how it should have been, but the Heavenly Emperor is gone now, he just passed away a few days ago. He died at the hands of the Spirit Emperor," Richard added.
Fang Ping looked at the Spirit Emperor with admiration. "A werewolf! He actually took down the mastermind behind Fang Ping scenes."
The Spirit Emperor didn't bother to explain; the Heavenly Emperor she had killed had long been sealed away by Richard and was utterly powerless to resist.
