Grey Cat widened its eyes, its feline face filled with shock and dullness!

"I actually became an Emperor Cat, a Ruler Cat, and a Seed Cat!"

"How amazing!"

Grey Cat flicked its fluffy, large tail, chuckled happily, and muttered:

"I wonder if the Seed tastes good."

"Big Fatty, why are you staring at me?"

Grey Cat looked at Spirit Emperor with an innocent expression. Why had the big fatty been staring at it the whole time?

Spirit Emperor ruthlessly kneaded Grey Cat's large, chubby face.

This cat was truly miraculous!

It shouldn't be on the Sneaky Ranking; it should be on the Winning Without Effort Ranking instead!

Grey Cat turned every misfortune into a blessing, encountering a Child of Luck in every era.

Whenever there was danger, it would fall asleep, and as long as it was sleeping, no one could find it.

Spirit Emperor suddenly felt that Grey Cat was hard to judge.

Was Grey Cat a sneaky person?

It seemed so, yet it also seemed not to be.

"Meow," Grey Cat's face fell, and it muttered:

"Big Fatty, so many people are thinking about me."

"There are even people trying to trick me; it's so annoying!"

Spirit Emperor's eyes turned unkind. He pinched Grey Cat's large face and said sternly, "Grey Cat, from now on, you stay in Spirit Emperor Palace and don't go anywhere!"

"I'm not stupid!"

Grey Cat stuck its fluffy butt in the air and wagged its large tail, grumbling:

"What does a cat canned food taste like? I really want to eat some."

The Sky Screen's exposure of Grey Cat shocked Heavenly Dog so much that its dog eyes nearly popped out!

It was so startled that its dog jaw dropped to the ground.

"That stupid cat actually became an Emperor Cat, and even a Ruler Cat and a Seed Cat!"

Heavenly Dog bared its teeth in envy.

It also wanted to become an Emperor, to become the True Heavenly Emperor!

"Cats and dogs have different fates!"

Heavenly Dog sighed.

Meanwhile, in the Human Realm, after the initial shock, Zhang Tao was filled with unease and gravity.

If Grey Cat followed the future Human King and ended up as a Ruler Cat, just how strong would that future Human King be?

I'm afraid countless people right now want to dig out the future Human King!

The Earth Cave would even more so want to kill him quickly!

If the Emperors stepped into the Human Realm to search for, control, or even strangle the future Human King, what should he do?

Zhang Tao shared his concerns with Heaven Suppressing King and God Forger.

Heaven Suppressing King was deeply grave.

He was no match for the several Emperors who had transcended the Three Realms.

Even if he merged his two bodies, he might not necessarily be a match for Earth Emperor and the others!

If they were truly determined to investigate the future Human King, Heaven Suppressing King could not stop them.

"The Emperors shouldn't step into the Human Realm."

Heaven Suppressing King furrowed his brows; his master, Yang God, should be in the Human Realm.

As long as Yang God was there, God Emperor and the others would not step into the Human Realm.

Zhang Tao remained grave; if only he could become an Emperor.

In Yang City, Yang God was so surprised that he was stunned!

That stupid cat, Grey Cat, actually became a Ruler Cat and a Seed Cat!

Is it just winning without effort?

[Grey Cat, the Emperor among cats, the cat among Emperors. No deliberate schemes or calculations, yet it exceeded everyone's expectations!]

Therefore, how could the Grey Cat not be considered a Sneaky Expert?

The Grey Cat can be called the most natural Sneaky Expert, bar none!]

[Thus, it deserves to be a candidate for the Uncrowned King!]

The powerhouses of the Three Realms were numb at this moment, while ordinary people felt as if their worldviews had been shattered.

A ridiculously fat orange cat had actually become one of the candidates for the Uncrowned King on the Sneaky Ranking!

It was too bizarre, too eerie!

But thinking about it carefully, this cat was truly f*cking suspicious!

How could there be such an awesome cat in the Three Realms?

"Meow, this cat has been selected!"

In the Void Heaven Realm, the projected Grey Cat grinned.

War Heavenly Emperor rubbed the cat's head without dampening its spirits.

He looked at the Sky Screen, his gaze deep and his smile indifferent.

"Is the Sky Screen about to expose me?"

[The second candidate for the Uncrowned King on the Sneaky Ranking, War Heavenly Emperor!]

"War Heavenly Emperor..."

At this moment, King Gen, King Xun, King Gan, and King Kun all had complex expressions in their eyes.

They admired War Heavenly Emperor greatly.

To achieve what others could not—this was the Extreme Dao Heavenly Emperor!

War Heavenly Emperor was a man of brilliant talent, becoming an Emperor after the contention of ten thousand daos, the number one person in the Three Realms!

Years ago at the Hundred Emperors Banquet, War Heavenly Emperor pointed his arrow at the Nine Emperors. When the arrow was released, all of them felt they would die!

Whether they were Emperors, Saints, or Heavenly Kings!

Moreover, that arrow from War Heavenly Emperor was not aimed at them, but at the Nine Emperors!

The Nine Emperors all changed color on the spot, their expressions shifting drastically!

God Emperor, Eastern Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, Human Emperor, and Earth Emperor also had complex looks in their eyes.

If War were elected as the Uncrowned King, would he be reborn and become even more powerful?

The others did not have the complex thoughts of the God Emperor and the others; they were simply curious about how strong War Heavenly Emperor's power was and what world-shaking schemes he had laid out!

[War Heavenly Emperor, one of the Four Emperors, an Extreme Dao Emperor who attained the Dao through the Extreme Dao of Vitality.

Although he is an Extreme Dao practitioner, he is an all-around Extreme Daoist, an existence who could attain the Dao and become an Emperor at any time!]

[War Heavenly Emperor was born at the end of the Original Martial Arts era, a time when Original Martial Arts had suffered a great defeat and was about to withdraw from the contention of the Great Dao.

The Nine Emperors had already attained the Dao and become Emperors, while Dou, Mie, and Ba had long since become Extreme Dao Emperors.

(At this time, Heaven Fighting Emperor was an Extreme Dao Heavenly Emperor following the path of Original Martial Arts.)

He apprenticed himself to the Three Emperors and sought instruction from the Three Emperors.

He learned the Dao of Longevity from the God Emperor, the Dao of Vitality from the Human Emperor, and the Dao of Equilibrium from the Eastern Emperor.

He absorbed the strengths of a hundred schools, integrated them into himself, and in just a thousand years, ascended to the rank of Extreme Dao Emperor through the Extreme Dao of Vitality!

However, he did not follow the path of pure Extreme Dao of Vitality, but rather an all-around path, a path of equilibrium.

Therefore, even before becoming an Emperor, War Heavenly Emperor's vitality was nearly two hundred million, with one hundred percent control over his power!

Even the God Emperor, the first Emperor, might not be an opponent for War Heavenly Emperor.

The Nine Emperors once said that War Heavenly Emperor had the bearing of a Heavenly Emperor!

Even someone as ancient as Heaven Suppressing King, who possessed peerless talent, was only praised by the Nine Emperors as the second War!]

"The bearing of a Heavenly Emperor! Nearly two hundred million vitality before becoming an Emperor, and he could attain the Dao and become an Emperor at any time!"

"Is this f*cking the bearing of a Heavenly Emperor? Even the Heavenly Emperor himself isn't this awesome!"

"What bearing of a Heavenly Emperor? War Heavenly Emperor simply surpasses the Heavenly Emperor!"

"A bunch of War-fanboys. If War Heavenly Emperor could really surpass the Heavenly Emperor, would he have committed suicide?

If it were me, I would have twisted the Heavenly Emperor's head off and stuffed it into the Origin Source long ago!"

"Too strong. Is War Heavenly Emperor still an Extreme Dao Emperor? He's more outrageous than the real Emperors!"

"Hiss, too terrifying. Attaining the Dao in just a thousand years!

War Heavenly Emperor is too terrifying!"

For a time, the Three Realms were in an uproar!

Many Emperor-level powerhouses who had lived for thousands of years felt that they had lived their lives in vain.

There is no comparison; comparing people to others is enough to scare one to death.

King Gen, King Xun, and King Gan were terrified!

The strength of War Heavenly Emperor was actually even more terrifying than they had known!

Before becoming an Emperor, his vitality was nearly two hundred million, his power control was at one hundred percent, and he could become an Emperor at any moment!

Even God Emperor might not be able to defeat War Heavenly Emperor!

How terrifying was this!

God Emperor, Eastern Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Earth Emperor were not surprised.

They knew best just how strong and exceptionally brilliant War was.

War alone could fill all the cracks in the Origin Source of God Emperor, Eastern Emperor, Human Emperor, and Earth Emperor, which was enough to show how formidable his strength was.

Western Emperor was dumbfounded; was War really that strong?

Then why did he commit suicide? It would have been better to prove his Dao as an Emperor and just fight the Heavenly Emperor directly!

Perhaps he would be living freely in the Three Realms right now.

Outside Spirit Emperor Palace, Heavenly Dog sighed repeatedly.

It had understood these things years ago, but War Heavenly Emperor... it didn't know what he had been thinking.

On Heaven Sealing Island, Feng's expression shifted, filled with shock and uncertainty!

"War Heavenly Emperor could have become an Emperor at any time back then?!"

In the Human Realm, Heaven Suppressing King was also silent.

In fact, he had once been an arrogant and domineering madman, called the second War by the various Emperors, and he had felt dissatisfied in his heart.

But thinking about it now, War truly had peerless talent.

He could not compare to War.

Zhang Tao was incomparably grave; he had always remembered that War Heavenly Emperor and Earth Emperor had set up a scheme.

That chess piece was either in the Earth Cave or in the Human Realm, and the probability of it being in the Human Realm was even higher!

"What exactly were the schemes War Heavenly Emperor laid out? And who is that chess piece!"

At Magic Martial University, Fang Ping was stunned.

No way, such an awesome person wasn't the protagonist?

He was so powerful yet committed suicide!

If he were War Heavenly Emperor, he would secretly ambush them one by one, killing a few Emperors with lightning speed before finishing off the others.

As for suicide... better the friend dies than oneself!

At Southern Martial University, Wang Jinyang recalled the projection of War Heavenly Emperor on the Sky Screen earlier and felt inexplicably familiar.

"Strange."

Seeing Wang Jinyang come out of seclusion, Zhang Xuan grinned.

Wang Jinyang looked at Zhang Xuan smiling at him and felt it was somewhat inexplicable.

[The Immortal Source Plan was proposed, separating humans and immortals, and War Heavenly Emperor vehemently opposed it.

A crisis appeared in the Origin Source, and he persuaded the Nine Emperors to abandon their power and return it to the Origin Source, with him protecting them as they re-cultivated Original Martial Arts.

The Nine Emperors did not agree, and it was even more impossible for them to abandon their power.

But God Emperor and the others did not explicitly state their refusal; instead, Earth Emperor opposed it in court!

At the Heavenly Court banquet, War Heavenly Emperor pointed his arrow at the various Emperors and also lashed out at Earth Emperor!

After the banquet ended, Earth Emperor found War Heavenly Emperor, attempting to join forces to kill the Emperors and the Heavenly Emperor!

War Heavenly Emperor did not agree and proposed that he could replace Earth Emperor in filling the pit, but Earth Emperor still did not agree, continuing to persuade him to join forces to kill the Emperors!

Human Emperor saw that War Heavenly Emperor was determined to make the various Emperors return their power, so he informed on them, leading the Nine Emperors to surround and kill War Heavenly Emperor and Earth Emperor!

War Heavenly Emperor was unwilling to fight and committed suicide, Filling the Sea and Suppressing the Source!]

"Holy crap, an invincible powerhouse just committed suicide like that?"

"Asking the Emperors to return their power, he must be stupid!"

"The Nine Emperors proved their Dao by killing the strongest of the Original Martial Arts; if they lost their power, they would surely die!"

"No, why would War Heavenly Emperor rather commit suicide than fight? That's so frustrating!"

"It's understandable that War Heavenly Emperor didn't want to fight; after all, how could he bring himself to kill his own brothers and master?"

"The Human Emperor actually snitched? How shameless!"

"..."

At this moment, everyone felt that the War Heavenly Emperor was far too naive.

How could those who had obtained power ever be willing to give it up?

The War Heavenly Emperor might have been willing, but the others certainly were not.

People are inherently selfish.

The God Emperor whispered, "War... you are too naive!"

War possessed a heart of innocence, but the human heart is unpredictable.

None of them were willing to abandon their power, and even fewer truly agreed with the plan of War.

[Upon learning that the War Heavenly Emperor was being besieged by the Nine Emperors, the Heaven Dominating Emperor and the Heaven Extinguishing Emperor launched a fierce assault on the Heavenly Court!

That day, the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked, the Great Dao shattered, and the Three Realms were stained with blood!

The Emperors were bloodied and severely wounded!

The Heaven Dominating Emperor bled out, his Extreme Dao Golden Body shattered, and he died on the spot. His life force pierced through the Nine Heavens, and he remained standing even in death!

The Heaven Extinguishing Emperor transformed his spiritual consciousness into ten thousand daos, causing his Origin Source World to descend upon the Heavenly Realm, covering it entirely as ten thousand stars plummeted!]

Within the Void Heaven Realm, The War Heavenly Emperor was no longer peaceful or indifferent; his eyes were filled with sorrow.

The path of sainthood is useless; one must suppress it with thunderous, tyrannical power!

Regrettably, his realization came too late!

He had implicated the Heaven Extinguishing Emperor and the Simpleton, causing them to lose their lives.

If I had been willing to fight back then, could they have lived?

He did not know.

But he had given up!

At this moment, the Three Realms were silent!

"So the fall of the Heavenly Court back then was because the Nine Emperors were fighting the Heaven Extinguishing Emperor and the Heaven Dominating Emperor!"

Zhang Tao realized the truth, but his mood felt heavy.

The War Heavenly Emperor had been single-mindedly focused on resolving the Origin Source problem through peaceful means, using his own body to Filling the Sea and Suppressing the Source, yet he failed to solve the problem and even caused the fall of the Heaven Extinguishing and Heaven Dominating Emperors.

Was it worth it?

The God Emperor, the Heaven Fighting Emperor, and the Eastern Emperor all remained silent, their eyes appearing sorrowful.

The Extreme Dao had perhaps already become a thing of the past.

The Heaven Extinguishing and Heaven Dominating Emperors had already completely perished.

War... what a pity!

They had participated in that battle back then, yet they still felt it was a pity.

If War had not fallen first, and he had joined forces with the Heaven Extinguishing and Heaven Dominating Emperors, as well as the Earth Emperor, would everything today be completely different?

[Before the War Heavenly Emperor fell, he already knew that the Seed and the Heavenly Emperor were collaborating. He also knew the root cause of the Origin Source and what the Seed intended to do.

He took advantage of the Seed and the Heavenly Emperor's desire to sever the Three Emperors Great Dao and completely seal the Origin Source to begin laying out his posthumous plans.

He first sought out the Heaven Extinguishing and Heaven Dominating Emperors to obtain a vast amount of sourceless energy.

At the same time, he set a trap: if he were to fall, and the Heaven Extinguishing and Heaven Dominating Emperors fell with him, the Three Emperors Great Dao would resonate at a specific moment in the future.

With the resonance of the Three Emperors Great Dao, the power of the War Heavenly Emperor's strike would reappear.

This very moment was when he would ambush the Seed and scheme against the Yang God!

He successfully ambushed the Seed, releasing the future Human King of the human race—the master who would rule the Three Realms—from the Non-Martial World inside the Seed!

Although he released the future Human King, he had no other schemes.

He simply wanted the future Human King to resolve the chaos of the Origin Source for him, extinguish martial arts, and restore order to the Three Realms!]

Boom!

At this very moment, everyone in the Three Realms felt their ears ringing!

"The future Human King was actually a layout by the War Heavenly Emperor!"

"Terrifying, truly terrifying!"

"The War Heavenly Emperor actually knew everything long ago! He even knew about the connection between the Heavenly Emperor and the Seed; how is this possible!"

"Since the War Heavenly Emperor knew everything, why did he choose to commit suicide?"

"The War Heavenly Emperor is unfathomable!"

At this moment, all the powerhouses of the Three Realms felt a chill in their hearts toward the War Heavenly Emperor.

War Heavenly Emperor had calculated everything!

If Mie and Ba did not die, his contingency plan would never emerge.

If they were to die, then the future Human King would be released by him from the inner world of the Seed.

"War... he actually wants to use the hands of the future Human King to extinguish martial arts!"

God Emperor stared at the gilded text on the final line of the Sky Screen, his eyes flickering.

Eastern Emperor and Heaven Fighting Emperor were both somewhat shocked.

"War released someone from the inner world of the Seed!"

This was not something an ordinary person could achieve; it was a truly terrifying feat!

At the very least, none of them could do it.

Even with the help of Yang God's power, they estimated they would be unable to breach the inner world of the Seed.

"War truly has excellent schemes!"

Eastern Emperor sighed softly.

He was unwilling to cross blades with them, so he left behind a contingency.

If they remembered old friendships and did not kill Mie and Ba, then the contingency would not be triggered.

But... War was being too naive.

Although the future Human King he released really did resolve everything in the original future, and might have even killed them, the Emperors.

But to extinguish martial arts... how could it be easy? It was simply impossible.

Would someone who came out of the inner world of the Seed be willing to give up after witnessing the path of martial arts?

They would not!

War won, but his wish to extinguish martial arts was destined to fail!

"War clearly understood everything, yet..."

At this moment, Earth Emperor felt an indescribable sense of discomfort and frustration in his heart; he truly wanted to ask War in person, why?!

"War, what an idiot!"

Human Realm, "The chess piece of War Heavenly Emperor is actually the future Human King!" Zhang Tao was completely stunned.

He had considered this possibility, but when the truth was laid out before his eyes, it filled him with terror and shock!

Zhang Tao swallowed hard; there was truly not a single simple person among the Emperors and Extreme Dao Emperors.

War Heavenly Emperor was unwilling to strike at his teacher, so he created a contingency to resolve everything for him.

Such behavior was actually an act of avoidance; War Heavenly Emperor was perhaps weary of everything, weary of the path of martial arts and immortality.

This was also why War Heavenly Emperor wanted to extinguish martial arts.

Magic Martial University, Fang Ping was completely terrified, his entire body stiff, his hands and feet cold.

He was not a person from this martial arts world; he came from a peaceful world!

A world without ancient martial arts, without new martial arts, without the path of martial arts!

He was the contingency laid out by War Heavenly Emperor; his system was created by this invincible powerhouse, War Heavenly Emperor; he was the future Human King!

Rumble!

Fang Ping only felt his head roaring, the world losing its color.

The Sky Screen said that War Heavenly Emperor had no other schemes against him, but could he trust the Sky Screen?

Fang Ping dared not truly believe the Sky Screen; he could not even trust himself right now!
