Under the anticipation of the crowd, the gilded characters on the Sky Screen slowly began to shift.

[Forty thousand years ago, when the world first opened, Primordial Beasts devoured the human race. Everyone lived in fear, unable to sleep at night or venture out by day.

The master of the Heavenly Department, Tian, the War Heavenly Emperor, created the Primordial Martial Dao to battle the beasts, expanding territory and opening new frontiers!

Yang, Qiong, Dou, Hao, the Primordial Sword God... one after another, Primordial Martial powerhouses rose, igniting the fire of civilization!

But human greed knows no bounds, and martial strife erupted constantly across the Primordial Martial Continent, plunging the land into chaos!

Later, as the War Heavenly Emperor traveled the continent, the Primordial Martial God and the Sword God clashed, affecting the Heavenly Department and causing its destruction!

When the War Heavenly Emperor returned, the survivors of the Heavenly Department cursed and resented him. The War Heavenly Emperor broke down, losing all faith in the human heart!

Meanwhile, the Martial God, the Sword God... a host of powerhouses began to vie for hegemony, and the continent was mired in endless strife!

Thirty thousand years ago, the War Heavenly Emperor was seduced by the Seed. He stepped into the Origin Source and collaborated with the Seed to create the Origin Source Dao, intending to trap all powerhouses in one fell swoop and extinguish the martial path!]

The God Emperor, the Heaven Fighting Emperor, and the Eastern Emperor looked at the Sky Screen's exposure of the War Heavenly Emperor with extremely complex expressions.

In those days, the Primordial Martial Continent was too chaotic, and the human heart was far too complex.

The Martial God and the Sword God destroyed the Heavenly Department, yet the survivors of the Heavenly Department resented the War Heavenly Emperor... such is the human heart.

The human heart is unfathomable!

Seeing this, the War Heavenly Emperor let out a silent, mocking laugh.

The human heart—he had long since ceased to believe in it!

Extinguishing the martial path—he was not wrong!

If not for him, the Three Realms would have been completely destroyed ten thousand years ago by the power struggles of the Martial God and the others!

The Primordial Martial powerhouses viewed the common people as ants, while he viewed the powerhouses as ants!

He was not destroying the world; he was saving it!

Zhang Tao also felt a complex mix of emotions.

The War Heavenly Emperor's desire to extinguish the martial path and end the chaos was not necessarily wrong; it was simply that their Daos were different.

[The War Heavenly Emperor created the Origin Source Great Dao and shattered the Origin Source stars. Yang God accidentally entered, absorbing the power remaining around the center, unintentionally disrupting the plan of the War Heavenly Emperor and the Seed.

Had it not been for the unintentional actions of Yang God, all 36 supreme powerhouses of the Primordial Martial era would have fallen into the trap, stepping into the Origin Source to certify their Dao and become Emperors!

In an instant, the Origin Source would have been sealed, the Primordial Martial powerhouses would have been trapped within, and apart from the War Heavenly Emperor, there would have been no more powerhouses in the Three Realms!

One scheme failing, the War Heavenly Emperor hatched another!

He first framed the Martial God, who was on good terms with the God Emperor, leading the Primordial Martial powerhouses to believe that the God Emperor had absorbed the Martial God's power to certify his own Dao.

He then manipulated the Eastern Emperor into killing the Sword God in full view of everyone, sparking the War of Ten Thousand Daos—Primordial Martial versus Origin Source!

He also manipulated the Primordial Thunder Venerable into exterminating the Spirit Emperor's father and tribe, forcing the Spirit Emperor to join the struggle for the Imperial Dao, becoming the only female Emperor among the Nine Emperors.]

Gazing at the Sky Screen, the Spirit Emperor let out a miserable laugh, a clear tear falling from the corner of her eye.

At the core of the Immortal Source, the War Heavenly Emperor's face instantly darkened. He glanced at the Spirit Emperor but said nothing.

At this moment, the Human Emperor, the Western Emperor, and the others were all shocked!

The Spirit Emperor's tribe had actually been destroyed by the War Heavenly Emperor manipulating the Thunder Venerable!

When the Nine Emperors certified their Dao, nine supreme powerhouses of the Primordial Martial era also died.

They only knew that the Spirit Emperor had killed the Thunder Venerable to certify her Dao as an Emperor, but they had not known the deeper secrets hidden within.

The Eastern Emperor sighed softly. He had been close friends with the Spirit Emperor's father and had always looked after the Spirit Emperor, yet he had never imagined that the War Heavenly Emperor would be so deranged just to make her certify her Dao!

[To repair the Origin Source, trap and kill the Emperors, and extinguish the martial path, the War Heavenly Emperor proposed the Immortal Source Plan and forged the Gate of Triple Burner!

Under the guise of benefiting martial artists, in reality, once the Immortal Source matured, the Origin Source would be sealed. With the three gates closed and the Origin Source severed, the War Heavenly Emperor would sacrifice all Origin Source martial artists to make up for the deficiencies of the Origin Source!]

"What! The Gate of Triple Burner was actually forged by the War Heavenly Emperor to sever the Origin Source!"

"The Immortal Source wasn't meant to resolve the hidden dangers of the Origin Source, but to trap and kill the Emperors!"

"The War Heavenly Emperor actually wanted to sacrifice all Origin Source martial artists—terrifying, truly terrifying!"

At this moment, countless martial artists collapsed.

They had thought the Gate of Triple Burner existed to prevent martial artists from going astray on their path, never expecting that while it looked like honey on the surface, it concealed poison within!

The expression of the Yang God changed completely!

He had always believed the War Heavenly Emperor was forging the Immortal Source to suppress the hidden dangers of the Origin Source. He never imagined that the War Heavenly Emperor had joined forces with the Seed thirty thousand years ago, intending to extinguish the Primordial Martial powerhouses and wipe them all out!

He and the War Heavenly Emperor were like enemies and friends; he had never actively targeted the War Heavenly Emperor.

"Damn it!"

The Yang God cursed bitterly. The War Heavenly Emperor was so insidious!

It turned out he was the only one kept in the dark, while Qiong, Dou, and the War Heavenly Emperor had long since harbored suspicions.

If the Origin Source were completely sealed and the Nine Emperors and the Heaven Fighting Emperor were trapped to death, he, the Yang God who transcended the Three Realms, would sooner or later be finished off by the War Heavenly Emperor and the Seed.

The Yang God cursed loudly; he truly wanted to slap the War Heavenly Emperor to death!

Aside from accidentally absorbing the residual energy around the Origin Source, he had never targeted the Heavenly Emperor, yet the Heavenly Emperor was so sinister that he had even calculated against him.

If not for the exposure by the Sky Screen, he would likely have been kept in the dark forever.

Yang God cursed a few times and then stopped caring.

In any case, the Heavenly Emperor's conspiracy had already been exposed and he was about to transcend, so he couldn't be bothered to make a fuss.

The Heavenly Emperor's conspiracy had already failed; even if the Heavenly Emperor's strength had improved, he still couldn't kill him.

[With the interference of God Emperor, Fighting Heavenly Emperor, War Heavenly Emperor, Earth Emperor, Yang God, and others, the Heavenly Emperor's plan to seal the Immortal Source was riddled with loopholes.

Thus, the Heavenly Emperor lay dormant for ten thousand years, waiting only for the Immortal Source to fully mature!

He hid his strength, letting the various Emperors and Yang God believe he was only slightly stronger than Yang God, when in reality, the Heavenly Emperor had long since surpassed Yang God!

The Heavenly Emperor initiated the Immortal Source Plan; when the number of Rank-9 martial artists who stepped onto the Origin Source Dao reached one million, the Immortal Source would mature.

The Heavenly Emperor could then seal the Origin Source, unleash his full power, and exterminate all Origin Source martial artists whose Great Daos were rooted in the Origin Source!

Even if the various Emperors destroyed the Immortal Source, the Heavenly Emperor would not die; he would simply need to lie dormant for another ten thousand years, waiting for the second Immortal Source to mature.]

"???"

Yang God was completely dumbfounded. What did it mean that the Heavenly Emperor had long since surpassed him?

So it turned out the Heavenly Emperor had been acting against him all those years!

He had actually thought the Heavenly Emperor shattered his small world back then because of the help of the Seed, but it turned out the Heavenly Emperor had been plotting against him the whole time!

Yang God cursed loudly, wishing he could immediately step into the Immortal Source and hack the Heavenly Emperor to death!

However, the Heavenly Emperor shattering his small world had also been intentional on his part.

At this very moment, the Three Realms were shocked!

One million Origin Source Daos—this meant that if the Three Realms possessed one million Rank-9 martial artists, the Heavenly Emperor could exterminate the martial path and wipe out all martial artists above Rank-9!

All martial artists above Rank-9 were horrified!

The Heavenly Emperor had been exposed by the Sky Screen and was about to transcend.

But the Immortal Source still existed!

It was nothing more than the Immortal Source changing owners; apart from the powerhouses who had already transcended and the new master of the Immortal Source, they, these martial artists above Rank-9, were all just items to be harvested!

"No! No!"

"Why is the Origin Source a trap? Why don't the Nine Emperors, Four Emperors, the Heavenly Emperor, and Yang God join forces to solve the disaster of the Origin Source!"

"Why is it that only God Emperor, Earth Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor can transcend!

Clearly, all of this is the mess they left behind!"

"Are we supposed to give up our power, give up the martial path!"

In an instant, the Three Realms were in an uproar. Curses of resentment were endless, echoing throughout the Three Realms.

Ancient powerhouses like King Gen and King Xun also felt heavy-hearted.

Immortal Source.

The Heavenly Emperor sneered: "This is the human heart."

Although God Emperor, Yang God, and the others were acting for their own sake, they had indirectly alleviated the problem of the Immortal Source.

Yet some martial artists wished they could eat their flesh; the curses directed at God Emperor and Yang God were even more numerous than those directed at him, the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor sneered: "These Three Realms deserve to be destroyed!"

God Emperor, Earth Emperor, and the others could naturally hear the curses from the Earth Cave, but they didn't care in the slightest.

If cursing a few times could solve the problem, they would have cursed the Heavenly Emperor to death thirty thousand years ago.

Humans, they want power, yet they don't want to be harvested and die.

They were like this, and everyone else was the same.

They couldn't solve the disaster of the Origin Source, but perhaps someone else could.

"I really want to know the ending of the Heavenly Emperor."

God Emperor stared at the Sky Screen, his voice low.

Fighting Heavenly Emperor and Eastern Emperor did not speak, merely gazing at the Sky Screen, waiting for it to continue the exposure.

(Please follow the story, please support in every way, I kneel and thank you all!)
