Primordial Martial Continent, Primordial Martial Deity gazed at the Sky Screen, his eyes deep and profound, murmuring, "Zhen's Primordial Martial body has reached Break Nine!"

Once the Origin body reaches Break Nine, Zhen will be able to become the first Emperor to Transcend the Three Realms!

No, Zhen should be the second Emperor to transcend.

The first is Yang God!

Yang God must have reached Break Nine, having become the only Primordial Martial Emperor to transcend ten thousand years ago!

Yang God, who was being muttered about by Primordial Martial Deity, was feeling somewhat startled at this moment!

"The rewards are actually this generous?!"

Yang God was a bit surprised.

"What a sneaky guy!"

He had suffered for being too laid-back and lazy!

Otherwise, he would definitely have been ranked in the top three on the Sneaky Ranking!

Who knows, the Sky Screen might have even rewarded him with a bite of the Seed.

Magic Martial University, Fang Ping couldn't hold back his laughter as he watched the Sky Screen's evaluation of Heaven Suppressing King.

"Fifty-fifty... it really is fifty-fifty."

Fang Ping laughed out loud.

"Heaven Suppressing King is likely about to become an Emperor, but can he be considered an Emperor of the human race?" Fang Ping frowned slightly.

If Heaven Suppressing King were a thorough Emperor of the human race, the safety of the Human Realm would undoubtedly increase significantly!

But if not, there would inevitably be some problems.

Especially since he might be the Future Human King.

Fang Ping pondered to himself, "The Sky Screen will expose me sooner or later; should I take the initiative to report it?"

In the past, he would never have told anyone about his rebirth and possession of a system.

But now, the big fish in the deep water are surfacing one after another.

As a reincarnator and a host of a system, he will sooner or later be exposed by the Sky Screen.

There is a difference between passive exposure and active exposure.

"But can Martial King and the others guarantee the safety of my parents and sister without restricting my personal freedom?"

Fang Ping was very worried, his heart filled with immense conflict.

"If only I could become an Emperor on the spot, then I wouldn't need to seek protection from others."

After all, it is better to rely on oneself than others; being strong yourself is the only true strength.

Fang Ping smiled bitterly; perhaps he isn't the Future Human King, but just a relatively special existence?

On the other side, The exposure of Heaven Suppressing King ended, and Zhang Xuan and Wang Jinyang finished their hot pot, each returning to their rooms to attend to their own affairs.

Although the sneaky ones exposed by the Sky Screen were quite entertaining, once the exposure ended, the Three Realms would inevitably be thrown into turmoil; increasing one's strength was the top priority.

Every little bit of improvement counts.

Wang Jinyang went to work on breaking through to the fourth rank.

Zhang Xuan, meanwhile, returned to his room to claim his system rewards.

"Awesome!"

Zhang Xuan whispered in his heart, his face full of smiles.

He was truly about to become invincible!

Once the Sneaky Ranking was fully exposed, even if the Three Realms were smashed to pieces, he would still be able to take humanity and run away.

However, the rewards from one ranking list were still not enough.

If he really ran out of the Three Realms to wander the universe, he might still be beaten to a pulp if he accidentally encountered someone stronger.

"I have to design a few more ranking lists to expose!"

Zhang Xuan was full of motivation, burying his head in deep thought.

At the same time, Divine Sect.

King Kun gazed at the rewards given to Heaven Suppressing King on the Sky Screen, feeling fiercely envious.

"Father Emperor, Zhen will soon be able to merge his two bodies and become an Emperor!"

"Become an Emperor?"

The Earth Emperor sneered, "Heavenly Emperor, if the Sky Screen hadn't exposed Qiong (God Emperor) and the others, Zhen wouldn't have dared to become an Emperor."

He had finally figured it out: the rewards from the Sky Screen were tailored to each individual.

What did this signify?

It meant that if Heaven Suppressing King hadn't received the Sky Screen's reward, his attempt to merge his two bodies would have failed nine times out of ten.

And he was supposed to be the second coming of War Heavenly Emperor?

What a waste!

King Kun nodded upon hearing this, lost in thought.

The Earth Emperor glanced at him, then looked at the Sky Screen with a playful expression, smiling as he said:

"Will the next 'sneaky' person to be exposed be me, or will it be Qiong and the others?"

Rumble!

The golden light of the Sky Screen roared, and the gilded characters began to shift once more!

The next moment, a figure appeared on the Sky Screen.

The figure wore a golden crown, was draped in a golden imperial robe, stepped in nine-dragon boots, and held a long sword!

His aura was boundless and domineering, his pressure overwhelming the world!

Just the sight of the figure caused most people in the Earth Cave to drop to their knees, unable to catch their breath.

It even stirred an uncontrollable sense of fear and submission in their hearts!

[Sneaky Ranking Fourth Place: Earth Emperor!]

At this moment, the Three Realms were in an uproar!

"The Earth Emperor! The Earth Emperor is truly still alive!"

"An Emperor, a true Emperor has appeared!"

"The power of an Emperor is truly terrifying!"

In the Earth Cave, King Ming was drenched in cold sweat, his face pale.

He stared fixedly at the boundless, domineering projection on the Sky Screen, his lips trembling as he said:

"Is this what a true Emperor is like..."

The aura of a mere projection was enough to suppress the world, nearly forcing him to his knees and filling him with immense fear and the urge to submit.

If he were to face the real Emperor, would he still dare to harbor thoughts of replacing him?

King Ming's expression shifted, his mind in total turmoil.

Li Zhu looked at the Earth Emperor's projection on the Sky Screen and laughed, "Old thing..."

King Gen, King Xun, King Gan, and other veteran Heavenly Kings all shuddered in fear.

The Earth Emperor was still alive!

Then why had the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty been destroyed all those years ago?

If the Earth Emperor was alive, were the other Emperors and the Extreme Dao Heavenly Emperors also still alive?

What exactly were they plotting?!

In the Human Realm, Heaven Suppressing King's expression was also grave.

Zhang Tao was likewise becoming increasingly uneasy.

This was the first Emperor exposed by the Sky Screen.

Yet, even so, he was only ranked fourth on the Sneaky Ranking.

In the Origin Source, God Emperor, War Heavenly Emperor, and Eastern Emperor exchanged smiles.

"Hong actually ranked fourth; it seems some of us aren't on the list," War Heavenly Emperor laughed.

Eastern Emperor chuckled, "Perhaps we might all end up on the list together."

"I am very curious about what exactly Hong has been doing these past eight thousand years," God Emperor said calmly, looking at the Sky Screen.

"Hong is no pushover."

"Once the Sky Screen finishes its exposures, he will definitely return to the Origin Source!"

Somewhere in the Boundary Land, A fair and beautiful woman stared at the Sky Screen with icy eyes.

"The Earth Emperor is still alive, so what about my husband?!"

[Earth Emperor Hong, attained the Dao during the Early Martial Era, cunning and treacherous, unruly and rebellious, with exceptionally brilliant talent.]

He once shattered a piece of the Primordial Martial Continent with a single sword strike, his combat power being exceptionally formidable even among the Emperors!

After the Immortal Source was built and the Heavenly Court fell, the Earth Emperor feigned death to escape and began laying out his plans for the Three Realms!

He first had his son Hong Yu disguise himself as the Earth Emperor to establish the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty, then had his other son, King Kun, Hong Kun, establish the Divine Sect to stand in direct opposition to the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty.

During this period, the Earth Emperor utilized the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty to cultivate the Earth Emperor Dao, strengthening his own Dao.

Once the Dao was complete, he had the Divine Sect destroy the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty to divert attention.

The Earth Emperor incited the war that led to the collapse of the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty, and further prompted Yue Ling, Qing Tong, and others to ignite the North-South War between the sects.

In these two great wars, he blood-sacrificed numerous powerhouses to allow Hong Yu to become a Heavenly King of Breaking Eight!

"The Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty was actually destroyed by the Earth Emperor himself!"

"The North-South War was also incited by the Earth Emperor!"

"So that's how it is; we were nothing but chess pieces, discarded pawns!"

"What a great leader of the Northern Faction, Yue Ling, and leader of the Southern Faction, Qing Tong—they were on the same side all along!"

"Hahahaha, the Emperors truly calculate everything!"

The powerhouses who had survived the North-South War all wore expressions of misery, their faces twisted with mockery.

"What a grand North-South conflict! What a grand Southern and Northern Faction!"

"How laughable, how hateful!"

In Kuocang Mountain, Gong Juanzi's face was pale, his eyes cold and sharp.

The North-South War had destroyed the Blessed Lands in one fell swoop, slaughtering dozens of Emperor Venerables and hundreds of True Gods, turning the land into a river of blood!

Yet, unexpectedly, it was all a farce directed by the leaders of the Northern and Southern Factions, merely to blood-sacrifice the powerhouses!

Gong Juanzi laughed at himself in mockery.

In the North-South War, all three thousand of his disciples from Kuocang Mountain had perished.

Now, only a lazy cat remained to keep him company!

And now, he was being told that all of this was directed by Yue Ling and Qing Tong, that the Emperors were calculating everything...

"Are these Three Realms merely the Three Realms of the Emperors!"

Gong Juanzi roared in anger.
