Fourth on the Sneaky Ranking! (Please Read On)

Primordial Martial Continent,

The Primordial Martial Deity gazed at the Sky Screen, his eyes deep and unfathomable. He murmured, "Zhen's Original Martial Arts body has reached Break Nine!"

Once his Origin body reached Break Nine, Zhen would be able to become the first Emperor to Transcend the Three Realms!

No, Zhen should be the second Emperor to transcend.

The first was Yang God!

Yang God had undoubtedly reached Break Nine. He had become the only Primordial Martial Emperor to transcend more than ten thousand years ago!

Yang God, whom the Primordial Martial Deity had just mentioned, was feeling rather shaken at that moment!

"The reward is actually that generous?!"

Yang God was a little surprised.

"What a crafty Old Six!"

He'd paid the price for slacking off and lying low!

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

Who knew, the Sky Screen might even reward him with a bite of the Seed.

Magic Martial University,

Fang Ping couldn't help laughing when he saw the Sky Screen's assessment of the Heaven Suppressing King.

"Fifty-fifty... It really is fifty-fifty."

Fang Ping laughed aloud.

"The Heaven Suppressing King is probably going to become an Emperor, but can he really be considered an Emperor of humanity?" Fang Ping furrowed his brow.

If the Heaven Suppressing King was truly an Emperor of humanity, then Human Realm's safety would undoubtedly improve greatly!

But if he wasn't, there would inevitably be 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 report it myself?

In the past, he would never have told anyone that he had been reborn and possessed a system.

But now, one huge fish after another was surfacing from the deep waters.

As someone reborn, and a system host to boot, he was bound to be exposed by the Sky Screen sooner or later.

There was a difference between being exposed against his will and coming forward on his own.

But can Martial King and the others guarantee my safety, along with my parents' and my younger sister's, without restricting my freedom?

Fang Ping was deeply worried and torn up inside.

If only I could become an Emperor right this moment. Then I wouldn't need to seek anyone's protection.

After all, relying on others was no match for relying on yourself. Being strong was what really mattered.

Fang Ping smiled bitterly. Perhaps he wasn't the Future Human King, but merely some unusually special person?

Meanwhile,

The Heaven Suppressing King's exposure had ended. Zhang Xuan and Wang Jinyang had finished their hot pot and returned to their rooms to handle their own affairs.

The Old Six exposed by the Sky Screen had been quite a spectacle, but once the exposure ended, the Three Realms would inevitably be thrown into turmoil. Improving their strength was the most urgent matter.

They had to improve by whatever amount they could.

Wang Jinyang set about breaking through to the fourth rank.

Zhang Xuan returned to his room and claimed his system reward.

"Awesome!"

Zhang Xuan exulted inwardly, grinning from ear to ear.

He was really going to be invincible!

Once the Sneaky Ranking had finished revealing everyone, even if the Three Realms were smashed to pieces, he'd be able to gather up humanity and make a run for it.

Still, the reward for one ranking wasn't enough.

If he really fled the Three Realms and wandered the universe, he could still get blown apart if he ran into someone stronger by mistake.

"I'll have to come up with a few more rankings to expose!"

Zhang Xuan was fired up. He bent his head and racked his brains.

At the same time,

Divine Sect.

King Kun gazed at the reward the Sky Screen had given the Heaven Suppressing King and envied him bitterly.

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

"Become an Emperor?"

Earth Emperor scoffed. "The Heavenly Emperor, Qiong (God Emperor), and the others haven't been exposed by the Sky Screen. Zhen won't dare become an Emperor."

He could see it now. The Sky Screen's rewards for everyone were tailored to the recipient.

What did that mean?

It meant that without the Sky Screen's reward, the Heaven Suppressing King would most likely fail when merging his two bodies.

And they called him the second War Heavenly Emperor?

What a useless fool!

King Kun nodded thoughtfully at his words.

Earth Emperor glanced at him, then gazed at the Sky Screen with amusement and said with a smile:

"Will I be the next Old Six exposed, or will it be Qiong and the others?"

Rumble!

Golden light boomed across the Sky Screen, and the gilded characters changed once again!

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

The figure wore a golden crown and a golden imperial robe, strode in dragon-patterned boots, and held a longsword!

His aura was overbearing beyond measure, his might overwhelming!

The pressure from that single figure alone made most of Earth Realm drop to their knees, gasping for breath.

It even filled them with an uncontrollable sense of fear and submission!

[Fourth on the Sneaky Ranking: Earth Emperor!]

At that moment, the Three Realms erupted!

"Earth Emperor! Earth Emperor really is still alive!"

"An Emperor—a true Emperor has appeared!"

"Emperors really are terrifying!"

Earth Cave,

King Ming was drenched in sweat, his face ashen.

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

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

The sheer pressure from the projection alone was overwhelming. It had nearly forced him to his knees, filling him with immense fear and a desire to submit.

If he came face-to-face with the true Emperor, would he still dare harbor thoughts of taking his place?

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

Li Zhu looked at Earth Emperor's projection on the Sky Screen and smiled. "You old bastard..."

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

Earth Emperor was still alive!

Then why had the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty been destroyed back then?

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

What were they scheming?!

Human Realm,

The Heaven Suppressing King's expression was also grave.

Zhang Tao grew uneasy as well.

This was the first Emperor the Sky Screen had exposed.

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

Origin Source,

God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor exchanged smiles.

"Hong actually came in fourth. It seems one of us isn't on the list," Heaven Fighting Emperor said with a laugh.

Eastern Emperor chuckled. "Perhaps we'll all make the list together."

"I'm curious what Hong has been up to over these past eight thousand years," God Emperor said calmly, gazing at the Sky Screen.

"Hong has never been one to sit still."

"Once the Sky Screen's revelations are over, he'll definitely return to Origin Source!"

Somewhere in Boundary Land,

A beautiful, fair-skinned woman stared at the Sky Screen with icy eyes.

"Earth Emperor is still alive. Then what about my husband?!"

[Earth Emperor Hong attained the Dao during the Early Martial Era. He was cunning and wily, defiant by nature, and extraordinarily gifted.

He once shattered an entire Primordial Martial Continent with a single sword strike. His combat strength was formidable even among the Emperors!

After the Immortal Source was completed and the Heavenly Court fell, Earth Emperor faked his death and laid plans across the Three Realms!

First, he had his son Hong Yu impersonate Earth Emperor and establish the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty. Then he had his son King Kun, Hong Kun, establish the Divine Sect to oppose the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty.

During that time, Earth Emperor used the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty to cultivate the Earth Emperor Dao and strengthen his own Great Dao.

Once his Great Dao was complete, he had the Divine Sect destroy the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty, shifting everyone's attention.

Earth Emperor instigated the war that destroyed the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty, then prompted Yue Ling, Qing Tong, and the others to start the North-South War between the sects.

During the two wars, he blood-sacrificed the powerful to make Hong Yu a Heavenly King of Breaking Eight!]

"So the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty was destroyed at Earth Emperor's own instigation!"

"So the North-South War was started by Earth Emperor too!"

"So that's it. We were all pawns, discarded pieces!"

"So Yue Ling, leader of the Northern Faction, and Qing Tong, leader of the Southern Faction, were working together all along!"

"Hahahaha! The Emperors really did scheme around everything!"

The powerful survivors of the North-South War all looked ashen, their faces filled with scorn.

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

"How ridiculous! How hateful!"

In Kuocang Mountain, Gong Juanzi's face was ashen, his eyes cold.

The North-South War had destroyed the Blessed Lands and killed dozens of Emperor Venerables and hundreds of True Gods. The blood had flowed like a river!

Yet the leaders of the Northern and Southern Factions had staged the whole thing themselves, all to blood-sacrifice the powerful!

Gong Juanzi laughed bitterly at himself.

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

Now only a lazy cat remained by his side!

And now he was being told that it had all been staged by Yue Ling and Qing Tong, that the Emperors had schemed over everything...

"Is this Three Realms nothing but the Emperors' Three Realms?!"

Gong Juanzi roared.
