After God Emperor, Fighting Heavenly Emperor, and Eastern Emperor left the Immortal Source, they did not return to the Three Realms with great fanfare.

They knew deeply that the era belonging to them had already passed.

For ten thousand years, they were no longer the Emperors worshipped by ten thousand people, the common masters of the Three Realms.

Since the Heavenly Court had fallen in the past, there was no need to rebuild it.

They would not rebuild the Heavenly Court or rule the Three Realms again.

How the Three Realms developed had nothing to do with them anymore.

The Nine Emperors and Four Emperors were either dead or imprisoned.

As prisoners, all they sought was transcendence!

Now that they had transcended, other matters were no longer important to them.

Thirty thousand years ago, they were heroes, the saviors who drove away the Desolate Beasts.

But at this moment, they were just Qiong, Dou, and Hao!

Origin Source, Western Emperor was so jealous he could almost crush his teeth, his eyes glowing red!

"I also want to leave this cage and roam the Three Realms freely," Western Emperor said very humbly, looking pitiful.

Now there were only two spots left on the Sneaky Ranking, and it was absolutely impossible for him to make the list.

He at least had that much self-awareness.

He only hoped that the Sky Screen would reveal the next ranking, and that the next ranking would allow him to make the list and fulfill his wish.

Human Emperor, Southern Emperor, and the others were still savoring the scene of the three Emperors fighting the Heavenly Emperor just now.

They were completely shocked.

A combat power of 200 million was truly unimaginable!

Yet even so, God Emperor, Fighting Heavenly Emperor, and Eastern Emperor were at most evenly matched with the Heavenly Emperor!

The strength of the Heavenly Emperor was even more terrifying and unfathomable!

While the Emperors were savoring the scene of the three Emperors fighting the Heavenly Emperor, the powerhouses of the Three Realms were also savoring it.

Watching the Sky Screen no longer reflecting God Emperor, Fighting Heavenly Emperor, Eastern Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor, Zhang Tao knew that God Emperor and the others had already left the Immortal Source.

"Emperors..."

Zhang Tao whispered in a deep voice, his face serious.

God Emperor, Fighting Heavenly Emperor, and Eastern Emperor had transcended and would inevitably leave the Origin Source to return to the Three Realms.

The Three Realms would become even more dangerous!

Adding Earth Emperor, the Three Realms would have a total of four invincible powerhouses who had transcended worldly things and possessed terrifying strength!

Even if they no longer cared about worldly matters at their level, their mere presence in the shadows would make the powerhouses of the Three Realms wary!

King Gen, King Xun, and other ancient powerhouses were also feeling uneasy.

Earth Emperor had no intention of ruling the world, but would God Emperor and the others re-rule the Three Realms and end all disputes?

"From this day forth, I, Qiong, Dou, and Hao, renounce the title of Emperor.

We will not interfere in the struggles of any side, nor will we rebuild the Heavenly Court or rule the Three Realms again!"

The void roared!

The voices of God Emperor, Fighting Heavenly Emperor, and Eastern Emperor resounded throughout the Three Realms.

After ten thousand years of imprisonment, they now only wanted to enjoy the joy of martial arts and explore the mysteries of the universe in the future.

"God Emperor and the others actually gave up the title of Emperor!"

King Gen, King Xun, and others were shocked but also somewhat relieved.

Figures like God Emperor and the others would never go back on their word; since they said they would no longer contend for hegemony, they would not do so.

In the Earth Cave, King Ming, King Feng, and other Earth Cave True Kings breathed a sigh of relief one after another.

They had fought for a hundred years to build their family business; if they were asked to give it up and hand it over to others now, how could they not feel resentment?

The Survival King of the Earth Cave, King Pingshan, still felt unsafe.

In any case, he wouldn't go out to contend for hegemony even if it killed him.

"Should I disband Pingshan Domain and find a remote place to hide?" King Pingshan thought secretly.

While King Pingshan was still thinking, King Huai had already taken action, moving even deeper into the shadows.

He had only moved for a moment when he saw three unfathomable people.

"It's over!"

King Huai's body and mind trembled, his whole person stiffened, and sweat poured down like rain!

"Seven-Surname Slave Huai Ying?"

Heaven Fighting Emperor chuckled, looking at King Huai with interest.

He had revealed himself on purpose; otherwise, given the strength of Huai Ying, it would have been impossible for him to discover them.

"Ancestor!"

King Huai's face was full of respect as he bowed to greet them.

Heaven Fighting Emperor was speechless, while God Emperor and Eastern Emperor both burst into laughter.

As expected of the Seven-Surname Slave, King Huai Huai Ying, who prioritized survival above all else—he truly had some tricks up his sleeve!

To be honest, they actually admired Huai Ying a little bit.

Born as a slave in the Earth Cave, he had fought his way up to become a True King.

Prioritizing survival... how similar was that to them?

The Sky Screen's assessment of Huai Ying was spot on: he was no hero, no villain, and certainly no coward.

Heaven Fighting Emperor couldn't help but laugh at the heartfelt respect King Huai was showing.

"I can hardly be considered your ancestor."

Heaven Fighting Emperor flicked his finger, and a drop of True Blood shot into King Huai's body.

Immediately after, Heaven Fighting Emperor, God Emperor, and Eastern Emperor vanished in an instant.

Their meeting with Huai Ying was merely a coincidence, so naturally, they wouldn't linger.

If they gave him too much True Blood, Huai Ying wouldn't be able to handle it, and it would only bring him more trouble.

King Huai was ecstatic inside, though his expression became even more respectful:

"Huai Ying thanks the Ancestor and the two lords for their grace!"

Since God Emperor and the others were no longer Emperors, he naturally couldn't address them as such.

A single "Ancestor" and a drop of True Blood—this was an incredible profit!

It was a pity he wasn't qualified to call Heaven Fighting Emperor his godfather; otherwise, he would be a big shot with an Emperor as his backer.

King Huai sighed softly and hurriedly moved his body in another direction.

Magic Martial University, Fang Ping licked his dry lips as he savored the image of the three Emperors fighting the War Heavenly Emperor, his heart burning with fervor!

Is this what an invincible powerhouse looks like?

Fang Ping whispered, his eyes burning with intensity!

He must also become an invincible powerhouse and reach the pinnacle of martial arts!

The confrontation between the three Emperors and the War Heavenly Emperor had shocked the Three Realms.

The determination of God Emperor and the others to renounce their status as Emperors had shocked the Three Realms even more.

Countless people looked up, staring at the Sky Screen in the firmament.

Only two people remained on the Sneaky Ranking who had not yet been exposed.

The Heavenly Emperor, that "culprit," was bound to be on it, but what kind of shock would the final person bring them?

And exactly what rank would the Heavenly Emperor hold?

Earth Emperor, God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and the others were all waiting for the Sky Screen to continue its exposure.

[Sneaky Ranking Second Place: Heavenly Emperor!]

"There's still a master!"

"It's still cooking, the Sky Screen is still cooking!"

"Incredible, truly incredible!"

"..."

The powerhouses of the Three Realms were in an uproar, the noise reaching a fever pitch!

They had assumed the Heavenly Emperor was already invincible and would be the number one "sneaky" person, but they hadn't expected there to be someone even greater!

There was someone even sneakier than the Heavenly Emperor!

How could this not be shocking, and how could it not leave everyone amazed and curious!

The Heavenly Emperor's eyes were filled with a strange look; he had assumed he would be ranked first, but he hadn't expected to be second.

Who exactly was first?

Was it the Yang God, or Zhan, or did the Seed have some other scheme?

God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, Eastern Emperor, and Earth Emperor were also somewhat surprised.

The Heavenly Emperor was ranked second—who could be ranked first?

The number one "sneaky" person exposed by the Sky Screen would surely surprise them all!

"The Heavenly Emperor is second?!"

Zhang Tao furrowed his brows, his gaze lingering on the Heaven Suppressing King for a long time.

Could it be that the number one schemer was the Heaven Suppressing King's master, the Yang God?

The Heaven Suppressing King was also deep in thought; could his teacher, the Yang God, have also orchestrated a heaven-shaking conspiracy?

For a moment, the Heaven Suppressing King's mood inevitably became complicated.

The Yang God, who was being suspected by many, was also shocked at this moment.

"To think there is an even more insidious schemer out there?!"

Magic Martial University, Fang Ping took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaim, "The schemers of this world are truly as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river!"

They were endless!

In the Earth Cave, King Ming, King Feng, King Pingshan, and the other Earth Cave True Kings had already been reduced to silence, trembling in fear.

The powerhouses of the Three Realms suppressed their palpitations and began to wait for the Sky Screen to completely expose the Heavenly Emperor!

By now, the Heavenly Emperor's strength, the Immortal Source, and the hidden dangers of the origin had already been exposed by the Sky Screen from the sidelines; these were all things the Heavenly Emperor had done intentionally.

So, what else was the Heavenly Emperor hiding?
