"Ji Yao... she's nothing but a pink skull!"

Fang Ping was being stubborn. Ji Yao or no Ji Yao, he absolutely refused to admit that his future self would have any feelings for her.

If he truly didn't have a shred of affection for her, how could he have stroked her face to restore her appearance, and even let her die in his arms?

An Emperor could probably kill an Emperor-level expert with a wave of their hand.

Did restoring her appearance really require physical contact?

However, looking at it from another angle, she had repeatedly sent him resources and opportunities, along with hundreds of divine weapons... it would be hard for him not to have some feelings for her!

That was all Wealth Points!

Just as Fang Ping was thinking this, he locked eyes with Wang Jinyang.

Wang Jinyang winked at Fang Ping.

"Fang Ping, your future romantic prospects aren't half bad."

Even the princess of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court had taken a liking to Fang Ping.

There were probably people within the human race who would fall for him too.

Perhaps even those old maidens from the Boundary Land, Heaven Beyond Heaven, and the Overseas Immortal Islands who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years might set their sights on Fang Ping.

Was this the charm of the Future Human King?

Wang Jinyang looked Fang Ping up and down, unable to stop himself from clicking his tongue twice.

Fang Ping's face turned black; he understood Old Wang's teasing perfectly well.

"Old Wang, this Future Human King might not necessarily be me; it could be you!" Fang Ping signaled with his eyes.

This wasn't some brainless anti-Japanese drama where the protagonist could fall for a beast from a wretched land!

Regardless, he would absolutely never accept such a sentiment.

His future self being able to see her off on her final journey was perhaps the greatest extent of acceptance possible.

Wang Jinyang raised an eyebrow.

The probability of Fang Ping being the Future Human King was over eighty percent, while his own was less than twenty.

At this moment, Fang Ping was almost certain that he really was the Future Human King.

First of all, the resources Huang Bin "voluntarily sponsored" had indeed allowed him to successfully embark on the path of martial arts.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to achieve triple-honed bones, let alone break through to the First Grade so quickly.

Furthermore, Jiao... he was indeed a bit directionally challenged.

If he had accidentally stumbled into the Jiao King Forest, it was entirely possible he would have run into Jiao.

As for framing Ji Yao, that was something he was definitely capable of doing.

As for Old Wang... the probability of Old Wang slaughtering Ji Yao with a single blade and destroying the body to cover his tracks was higher than him framing her.

Fang Ping pondered for a long time, feeling conflicted and helpless, yet also experiencing a sense of "a blessing in disguise."

Having exposed his identity as a reincarnator, he could quickly accumulate Wealth Points by leveraging the channels of Zhang Tao and the others in the early stages, which should greatly accelerate his development!

After carefully weighing things for a long time, Fang Ping looked at Zhang Tao, not speaking, but wearing an earnest and serious expression.

Zhang Tao was lost in thought.

Does Fang Ping believe he is the Future Human King?

Could it be that he knows he came from a Non-Martial World!

The Sky Screen's exposure of the War Heavenly Emperor had mentioned that the Future Human King came from the Non-Martial World inside the Seed, and might even be carrying the supreme treasures left behind by the War Heavenly Emperor!

Wang Jinyang was somewhat surprised, but he didn't show it.

Fang Ping had actually exposed himself!

Zhang Tao was extremely solemn at this moment.

The matter of the Future Human King was of great importance; he could not make a decision lightly, nor could he reveal even a shred of information.

But could the Heaven Suppressing King and the God Forger truly be trusted completely?

Zhang Tao remained silent for a long time: "You two stay here for now; it's very safe here."

The Capital had been sealed with a mental energy barrier by the joint efforts of the Heaven Suppressing King and the God Forger, and with Nan Yunyue and his own avatar inside this building, no one could leave, and no one could get in.

Having said that, Zhang Tao's figure flashed and he left immediately.

Fang Ping and Wang Jinyang looked at each other, neither speaking.

They looked up at the sky; it was quite magical that the Sky Screen could be seen even indoors.

"Old Wang, if the Sky Screen stays lit like this, does that mean we won't need to turn on the lights at night?" Fang Ping joked.

Wang Jinyang chuckled: "That's quite a sharp question you've got there."

On the other side, Earth Cave.

Ji Yao reached out to touch her cheek; her thoughts were in turmoil.

She recalled the image on the Sky Screen, the way that Ji Yao had looked at the moment of her death—joyful, happy, yet filled with a sense of loss—and felt an inexplicable drop in her mood.

"The children of the God Continent also love heroes..."

Could a shameless scoundrel really be considered a hero?

One man's hero is another man's enemy!

The renowned Martial King was the Shame of the True Kings, but that did not stop the True Kings of the Earth Cave from fearing him, or even admiring him.

The same held true for the Heaven Suppressing King.

Ji Yao gazed at the Sky Screen and whispered to herself:

"Perhaps... I should change as well."

The Fate King noticed that Ji Yao seemed a bit distracted, but he did not pay it much mind.

He stared at the Sky Screen, anticipating the reward it would bestow upon Ji Yao.

The rewards given to Huang Bin and Jiao were nothing but trash; he hoped the Sky Screen would be as generous as it had been in the past!

The exposure on the Sky Screen continued.

[Ji Yao, though arrogant and domineering by nature, also possesses a spirit that refuses to yield to men.

You were born into nobility, yet you dared to venture into chaotic zones to temper yourself.

In your original destiny, even after suffering a crushing defeat, you never gave up on your ambition to become the ruler of the Earth Cave.

Now that you know your fate, do you still dare to contend for it?]

[Reward: Break through racial shackles; no bottlenecks until the Emperor level.]

The crowd erupted in an uproar!

"Is Ji Yao really that significant?"

The previous two didn't even get an evaluation, and that fellow named Bin didn't even get a hundred words written about him!

"Ji Yao, truly worthy of being the woman who died in the arms of the Future Human King!"

"The pressure is on! Does Ji Yao still dare to compete?"

"Unfair!

Huang Bin was the one who initiated the Future Human King into the martial path; why was his reward so mundane, while Ji Yao's is so incredible!"

"Ji Yao is about to soar!"

"Holy crap, is Ji Yao actually going to become the Human King's consort now?!"

"The Ji Family... the Fate King is going to make a fortune again!"

"Hehe, am I the only one wondering if the Fate King will seize Ji Yao's Great Dao?"

In the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, Ji Hong looked delighted; his daughter was truly about to soar!

"Yao'er, how do you feel?"

Ji Yao's face flushed, her expression dazed: "I feel as though the energy within my body has undergone a transformation."

How to put it? She felt a warmth in her belly.

It was as if her body was no longer just a vessel of energy.

The Fate King stared at Ji Yao and smiled: "A good thing."

"My Ji Family is about to gain another Emperor-level powerhouse!"

Ji Yao had no bottlenecks in her breakthrough; as long as she had sufficient resources, she would grow rapidly.

The rewards from the Sky Screen had truly been upgraded this time.

Ji Yao looked at the joyful Fate King, Ji Hong, and Qi Huanyu, then turned her gaze back to the Sky Screen, clenching her fists.

In the Human Realm, Wang Jinyang frowned: "The Sky Screen seems to have some sort of expectation for Ji Yao?"

He always felt that the Sky Screen really wanted to see the scene where Ji Yao became the ruler of the Earth Cave.

Fang Ping nodded; he felt it too.

But the Sky Screen definitely had ill intentions!

It was possible that the Sky Screen wanted to see Ji Yao grow strong enough to drag him back to the Earth Cave to get married, just so it could watch the show.

Zhang Tao had learned some information from the Heaven Suppressing King and was currently purging the forces hidden within the Human Realm.

He looked at the Sky Screen, his expression shifting slightly:

"Is the Sky Screen starting to get serious, beginning with Ji Yao?"

In Star Suppressing City, The chubby Jiang Chao watched the Sky Screen with great interest.

"The Earth Cave princess falling in love with the Human King of the human race... how interesting!"

"Pervert, who do you think the Future Human King really is?" Jiang Chao looked at Jiang Hao and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Hao's gaze turned cold: "No matter who he is, I will surpass him!"

"There is no need to search for the Future Human King; I will surpass him myself!"

Jiang Chao was stunned. His family's "pervert" was indeed formidable, and he was the number one among the younger generation in Star Suppressing City.

But for the Human King, wouldn't the entire human race have to acknowledge him?

(In the original work, Jiang Hao had multiple conversations with the God Forger, looking down on Fang Ping both openly and covertly, feeling that Fang Ping was not qualified to be the Human King.)

Above the Sky Screen, golden light shone brilliantly!

[Seventh Place: The abandoned disciple of Purple Canopy Mountain, Heaven King of the Seventh Break, a tragic figure, the trash in the eyes of the Future Human King, the Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian!]

"What? The seventh place is actually the Demon Emperor!"

"The Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian! He is actually still alive, and has even become a Heaven King of the Seventh Break!"

"The Future Human King actually called the Demon Emperor trash! Why is that?"

"The Demon Emperor... I still remember that battle a thousand years ago vividly, even in my old age!"

"..."

At this moment, the kings of the Earth Cave were in an uproar!

The Demon Emperor!

The young True Kings of the Earth Cave might not know, but the older generation of True Kings and the powerful True Kings all knew just how terrifying the Demon Emperor was!

A thousand years ago, the Demon Emperor invaded the Earth Cave. Almost single-handedly, he threw the Earth Cave into complete chaos, slaughtering countless True Kings and Emperor-level experts!

He even forced the Earth Cave to begin a new calendar!

The start of the God Continent Calendar was due to the Demon Emperor!

"In the past, I only thought the Demon Emperor was a True King who had walked three Great Daos, but I never expected him to be a Heaven King-level powerhouse!"

The Myriad Demon King, who had personally experienced that battle a thousand years ago, had eyes full of dread, his heart trembling.

The other True Kings of the Earth Cave also wore solemn expressions.

Since the Demon Emperor was still alive but had not appeared for so long, he must be plotting something!

Unfortunately, this Demon Emperor, whom the Future Human King called "trash," was not listed on the Sneaky Ranking.

In the Human Realm, Heaven Suppressing King's expression changed, his brows locked in a deep frown.

"Heaven Suppressing King, it has been a long time."

A phantom figure appeared in the void.

Seeing that Heaven Suppressing King ignored him, Mo Wenjian chuckled softly and looked toward the Sky Screen.

"Will the Sky Screen expose me completely?"

As for the Sky Screen's evaluation, he did not care!

History is written by the victors; once he won, others would naturally justify his actions!

In the Heaven Beyond Heaven and the Boundary Land, the various powerhouses also wore solemn expressions.

The Demon Emperor, a powerhouse who made even the Emperor-level experts tremble with fear!

According to rumors, he could even fight an Emperor!

However, looking at it now, those were just rumors.

Inside the new Spirit Emperor Palace, Grey Cat flicked its tail: "It's Little Sword, Little Sword is on the list!"

[Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian, entered the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm a thousand years ago through Grey Cat, learned the truth of the Emperors' schemes against all living beings, fell into despair, and completely turned into a demon, intending to destroy the world and recreate it!]

"Great, another King Ming who lacks self-awareness!"

"Is that all the Demon Emperor is?"

"The Sky Screen exposed everything, and I didn't fall into despair. It seems I am even stronger than the Demon Emperor!"

"Destroy the world? The Demon Emperor and the Earth Emperor must have a lot in common."

"Grey Cat... is Mo Wenjian also a Child of Luck? And what is the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm?"

[In order to break free from everything, Mo Wenjian began to scheme against the Human Realm, reincarnating his spiritual consciousness into the human world.

He intended to mold the Future Human King into his own reincarnation to draw fire for him.

He even intended to scheme against Grey Cat, wanting to make Grey Cat turn dark!]

The Future Human King held him in utter contempt, calling him nothing but trash and a coward.

He, too, looked upon the Future Human King with disdain. In order to scheme against the Future Human King and the Human Realm, and to pave his own path to becoming the Human Emperor, he pinned the title of Demon Emperor onto the Future Human King.

This resulted in the Future Human King, who was only at the Rank Seven realm at the time, being hunted by all 108 outer regions of the Earth Cave!

If the Future Human King became the Demon Emperor or died, he would never again win the hearts of the people, let alone become the Human King, which would then allow him to become the next Human King!

[He opened the Emperor Grave, intending to scheme against the War Heavenly Emperor and the Future Human King, but accidentally allowed the Future Human King to forge his Nine-Forged Golden Body!

When the Land of King Battles broke open and the powerhouses of the Three Realms besieged the powerhouses of the Human Realm, he was forced by Martial King Zhang Tao to assist the humans, indirectly allowing the Future Human King to escape a calamity.

During the final great battle, the reincarnation of Mo Wenjian sacrificed himself to fulfill Martial King Zhang Tao.]

Rumble!

The Three Realms were filled with clamor and thunderous noise!

"The Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian actually reincarnated!"

"A Rank Seven Heavenly King actually chose to reincarnate and recultivate—what immense courage! No, just how deep must his despair have been to make the Demon Emperor abandon the strength of a Rank Seven Heavenly King to reincarnate!"

"The Demon Emperor... what a petty villain! In the past, he befriended the Grey Cat, and his strength and divine artifacts were deeply tied to the Grey Cat, yet he schemed against it! The Future Human King was right! Mo Wenjian is nothing but trash!"

"The Demon Emperor actually wanted to become the Human King—what wild ambition!"

"Mo Wenjian actually dared to scheme against the War Heavenly Emperor? He is truly audacious!"

"Being hunted by 108 outer region forces at Rank Seven—that is simply invincible! Unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated!"

"Nine-Forged Golden Body! The Future Human King is actually the legendary Nine-Forged Golden Body!"

"The powerhouses of the Three Realms will actually besiege the powerhouses of the Human Realm in the future?! Could it be that the Emperors are fanning the flames?"

"The reincarnation of Mo Wenjian actually sacrificed himself for Martial King Zhang Tao—how is that possible!"

"..."

The powerhouses of the Three Realms were completely shocked by the revelations on the Sky Screen, each focusing on different points!

Some focused on Mo Wenjian, while others were stunned by the Future Human King's Nine-Forged Golden Body!

In the Human Realm, Somewhere in the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Wu Mo's eyes trembled: "Nine-Forged Golden Body, how is this possible!"

Nine-Forged Golden Body, the golden body perfected, immortal and indestructible!

If the Future Human King has a Nine-Forged Golden Body, then what about his spiritual consciousness?

Is his spiritual consciousness also Nine-Forged?

"Mu Yan, it is time for you to emerge from the mountains!"

"Find the Future Human King. If possible, kill him or bring him back! If you cannot, stay in the Human Realm and find a way to get close to him, to become his confidante!"

"Master!"

Mu Yan was shocked!

With the Heaven Suppressing King and the God Forger present in the Human Realm, how could she dare!

Boom!

Before Wu Mo could say more, a giant hand reaching for the sky obliterated this Heaven Beyond Heaven, seizing everyone and all the resources within it.

Zhang Tao casually imprisoned the people of the Heaven Beyond Heaven, his expression grave as he stared at the Sky Screen.

He had already wiped out all the Heaven Beyond Heaven strongholds in the Human Realm, and the resources he had harvested were enough to last for some time.

He had originally intended to kill some and recruit others, but he had not expected these people to harbor such malicious intentions!

In that case, there was no need to keep them.

In the current situation, he could absolutely not allow these hidden dangers to remain in the Human Realm and engage in petty schemes.

The matter of the Heaven Beyond Heaven was not the priority; the priority was the affair between the Demon Emperor and the Future Human King.

"The Demon Emperor is truly in the Human Realm! He and the Heaven Suppressing King are actually plotting against the human race!"

Zhang Tao knew that Mo Wenjian and the Heaven Suppressing King had a partnership, but he did not know the specifics of their cooperation.

Now it seemed that the Demon Emperor had truly become a demon!

At this moment, the expression on the face of Heaven Suppressing King was rather unsightly; he could already imagine how Zhang Tao would interrogate him.

Mo Wenjian... ultimately lacked the spirit of a powerhouse!

If Mo Wenjian truly possessed the spirit of a powerhouse, he would not have chosen to reincarnate in Star Suppressing City, reincarnating as a descendant of War King!

Instead, he should have chosen to become an ordinary person in Hua Nation and rise step by step!

On Heaven Sealing Island, Feng sneered: "Mo Wenjian... do you think you can escape everything by reincarnating? How utterly ridiculous!"

"To cast aside the strength of a Heavenly King and reincarnate to cultivate once more... Future Human King was right, you are nothing but trash!"

Inside the new Spirit Emperor Palace, Grey Cat's eyes were filled with sorrow as it muttered dejectedly:

"Little Jian has truly changed..."

In the Divine Sect, Li Zhu watched the description of Mo Wenjian on the Sky Screen and sighed: "Demon Emperor ultimately lacks the spirit of a powerhouse!"

Even without the layout set by War Heavenly Emperor for Future Human King, the next Human King of the human race would never be Demon Emperor.

In the Earth Cave, King Ming's pupils constricted sharply: "Demon Emperor has reincarnated into the Human Realm!"

But who could the reincarnation of Demon Emperor be?

"Troubled times!"

First there was Future Human King, and now there is the reincarnation of Demon Emperor.

Could it be that the Earth Cave truly has no destiny!

In Star Suppressing City, Jiang Hao's expression changed drastically; he had been exposed!

Although he had not been completely exposed yet, Martial King Zhang Tao would certainly not leave him, this "hidden danger," unchecked.

The position of Human King would perhaps have no connection to him ever again!

How hateful!

The Sky Screen had disrupted all of his plans!
