The reason behind the fall of the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty and the North-South War made the Earth Cave True Kings shudder in disbelief.
Most of them had never experienced those two bloody wars, but they had heard about them.
They had thought the conflicts were over competing doctrines and supreme treasures. They never imagined the Emperors had been behind it all!
"The Emperors... So this is what they're like?"
King Ming was shaken to the core.
The Emperors could casually cause countless Emperor Venerables and True Gods to die horrific deaths.
In their eyes, he might not even be worth an ant!
Zhang Tao fell completely silent, his mood sinking to rock bottom.
"Was the war between the Human Realm and the Earth Cave also the Emperors' doing?"
"Hong Yu broke through Eight... My husband is still alive!"
"But if you're still alive, why haven't you come to find me..."
Yue Ling wept silently.
In the Divine Sect, the Earth Emperor watched the Sky Screen reveal the truth, utterly unfazed.
[When the Earth Emperor Divine Dynasty still stood, the Earth Emperor used his projection to spread word in the Human Realm that the Seed of Resurrection was there. This made the Earth Cave kings constantly yearn to invade the Human Realm, seize the Seed of Resurrection, and become Emperors. Li Zhu commanded the Heavenly Plant Royal Court, and the Earth Emperor had arranged for him to invade the Human Realm all along. The goal was to make humanity struggle through blood and tears, giving rise to powerful warriors!]
The revelation sent shockwaves through the crowd!
As he watched the Sky Screen expose the truth, Zhang Tao's face turned livid, his eyes nearly bulging with fury!
The Earth Emperor had spread the news that the Seed of Resurrection was in the Human Realm!
The Earth Emperor had secretly orchestrated the invasion of the Human Realm!
"Earth Emperor!"
Zhang Tao's hair stood on end with rage. His whole body trembled.
"To force humanity to produce powerful warriors under pressure, you had to cause countless massacres?!"
"Emperors—so this is what you're like? You treat all living beings like dogs!"
The war between the Earth Cave and the Human Realm had raged for hundreds of years, and far too many people had died!
King Kun's Divine Sect had also caused humanity countless casualties.
These were bloody, undeniable facts!
Heaven Suppressing King's expression was complicated. He said solemnly, "The Earth Emperor wasn't entirely wrong. The Seed of Resurrection is indeed in the Human Realm."
Zhang Tao froze at his words.
"You should have seen the True Blood awarded by the Sky Screen. True Blood is the seed's blood."
"The Seed... The source of the Three Realms, the source of life, and the source of martial arts."
"The Human Realm is the birthplace of martial arts. The Seed would only remain there."
The Earth Cave,
The Earth Cave True Kings were all completely stunned.
King Ming, King Feng, King Huai, King Pingshan... Everyone was dumbfounded.
The rumor about the Seed of Resurrection had been deliberately spread by the Earth Emperor to provoke humanity!
The war between the Human Realm and the Earth Cave had all been orchestrated by the Earth Emperor and his family.
The source of a century of bloodshed and hatred was this absurd!
"What a deception!"
King Ming cried out coldly.
The Emperors schemed across the Three Realms, with all living beings as their pawns!
The Human Realm and the Earth Cave were not enemies. The Emperors were!
But by now, the two sides had already forged a blood feud.
There was no undoing it.
The Sky Screen's revelation shocked all three realms!
Heaven Beyond Heaven, the Boundary Land, the Overseas Immortal Islands... The many factions fell silent.
The Seed of Resurrection—a deception.
A deception by the Emperors!
They had wanted to spur humanity's powerful warriors into action, to make them emerge from the chaos of war.
But... what was the point?
Although Martial King Zhang Tao was powerful, he was no Emperor!
And Heaven Suppressing King wasn't a native powerhouse of the Human Realm, either.
Why had the Earth Emperor set up such a deception?!
Was it for the future Human King?
No one understood.
Humanity was consumed by grief and fury!
So all their blood and tears over the past century had been caused by the Earth Emperor's deception!
"Earth Emperor... You deserve to die!"
Li Zhen's face was grim, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Nan Yunyue, Wu Kuishan, and the other human powerhouses were likewise furious.
The human martial artists stationed in the Earth Cave were filled with hatred, weeping silently.
"Is that all it takes to make you angry? How laughable. That's the anger of the weak."
In the Divine Sect, the Earth Emperor sneered, utterly unconcerned by the hatred the Human Realm's martial artists felt for him.
He had caused most of humanity's disasters, but he didn't care in the slightest.
After all, he was already a prisoner, and he was about to destroy the world. What did he have left to care about?
Magic Martial University,
Fang Ping stared in shock.
The Earth Emperor had been behind the war between the Human Realm and the Earth Cave!
The Emperors had been scheming behind everything!
"So this is the truth?"
Fang Ping suddenly felt dazed.
It seemed humanity had plenty of enemies.
Not just the Earth Cave, but the Emperors too!
[The Earth Emperor's many schemes were all meant to destroy the world!]
"What!!!"
"Destroy the world! The Earth Emperor actually wants to destroy the world!"
At that moment, all three realms were shocked!
An Emperor had schemed for thousands of years, all to destroy the world!
Why?!
"Have you gone mad? The Earth Emperor must be mad!"
Countless people thought the same thing at once.
The Earth Emperor might have truly gone mad!
"Earth Emperor... No, what are the Emperors really trying to do?" King Gen, King Xun, King Gan, and the other ancient powerhouses grew uneasy.
The revelations on the Sky Screen were too shocking.
If the Earth Emperor had a scheme, then God Emperor, Eastern Emperor, and the others must have schemes of their own!
They were all pawns of the Emperors!
"If you don't become an Emperor, you'll always be an ant!"
The Human Realm,
Zhang Tao's expression changed, his mind reeling.
"Destroy the world... Does the Earth Emperor want to destroy it because of the hidden danger in the Origin?"
The hidden danger in the Origin could even affect the Emperors!
Zhang Tao had thought the hidden danger in the Origin was something the Emperors themselves had caused.
But now, it seemed an enormous secret was buried beneath it all!
Why had the Nine Emperors and Four Sovereigns all disappeared at once?
And why had the Heavenly Court fallen?
These were all mysteries.
Perhaps solving them would reveal why the Earth Emperor wanted to destroy the world.
[To destroy the Seed and bring about the end of the world, the Earth Emperor made an agreement with War Heavenly Emperor eight thousand years ago. Together, they arranged for a pawn. During his time in the Divine Sect, the Earth Emperor and Hong Kun imprisoned Heavenly Wood, the greatest tree of ancient times, for eight thousand years. They imprisoned Heavenly Dog for three thousand years, stole his Dao, and combined it with Heavenly Wood's Dao, allowing King Kun, Hong Kun, to embark on the Demon Emperor Dao! He helped Hong Yu reach Break Eight. In the future, Hong Yu would attain Emperor-hood in the Heavenly Court and become the Heavenly Emperor! Li Zhu sought to become the Emperor of the Earth Realm, taking the Earth Emperor's place! At the same time, the Earth Emperor planned to kill Human Emperor Ji and gather the four Emperors of Heaven, Earth, Humanity, and demons. Using the pawn's body and the power of the four Emperors, he would seize the power of the Origin Source and open a Second Origin Source!]
"The Second Origin Source!"
Heaven Fighting Emperor's expression changed completely!
God Emperor's expression shifted as well, his mind trembling.
The Earth Emperor and War had made such a scheme all those years ago!
They would reopen the Second Origin Source!
With the Second Origin Source, they could stand against the Heavenly Emperor!
The Earth Emperor's ambition was truly immense!
To open a second Origin Source, the Earth Emperor's three sons would all have to die.
Kill Human Emperor... Would the Heavenly Emperor let the Earth Emperor kill him so easily?
Unless the Earth Emperor intended to sacrifice himself to fulfill the pawn he and War Heavenly Emperor had arranged!
Others might not understand what the Second Origin Source meant, but the Emperors did!
The Heavenly Emperor understood too!
So did some of those who knew about the hidden danger in the Origin Source!
The Heavenly Emperor's expression darkened.
"War, Hong... What a War Heavenly Emperor, what an Earth Emperor!"
If the Sky Screen hadn't revealed the truth, and if the Seed hadn't been supporting him from behind the scenes, he might really have been caught off guard by War Heavenly Emperor and the Earth Emperor.
But now, War Heavenly Emperor was dead, the Earth Emperor's every scheme had been exposed, and the Earth Emperor himself was about to Transcend the Three Realms.
The Heavenly Emperor wasn't worried, nor was he afraid.
As for the Earth Emperor coming after him once he had Transcended the Three Realms... The Earth Emperor alone couldn't kill him!
Even if all Nine Emperors attacked him together, he still wouldn't die!
The Heavenly Emperor's expression was cold as he looked at the Sky Screen, his face shifting.
He might even be on the Sneaky Ranking!
If he Transcended the Three Realms and escaped the Origin Source's constraints, who could kill him?
The Yang God couldn't, and neither could God Emperor and the others!
"Hong is only ranked fourth on the Sky Screen. There are still three people ahead of him..." The Heavenly Emperor's gaze flickered.
He was sure to be among the top three, but who were the other two?
God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, or the Yang God, War Heavenly Emperor?
