"The Primordial Ancient Star is a Spirit-Nurturing Land, home to the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains of the Mythical Era. It can nurture corpses as well. Those buried here can form a Reincarnation Seal ahead of time, in the shortest possible span."
Flame Emperor Shennong paused, glanced at Duan De, and slowly continued, "Ordinarily, an emperor corpse's spirit awakening requires a million years. But on the Primordial Ancient Star, it takes only a few hundred thousand years, or even a hundred thousand or so."
Emperor Zun was a genuine Heavenly Emperor. Even the proud Nine Heavenly Venerables had needed to join forces against him. Even the Life Restricted Areas had to acknowledge that his combat strength stood far above that of the Supreme Beings.
If his corpse had awakened a spirit, he would surely have attained enlightenment and shaken the universe once more. He could not possibly have remained unknown.
The Supreme Beings proposed the names of one Primordial Ancient Emperor after another, then rejected them one by one. The few most unusual emperors all had known origins; none could have been Emperor Zun's awakened corpse.
"A Great Emperor's corpse needs only a few hundred thousand years to awaken a spirit. Might a Heavenly Emperor's corpse need longer? Just as the Netherworld Emperor formed four Reincarnation Seals over the course of three entire eras."
The Ascension Stone Embryo pondered this, expanding the search to the Desolate Antiquity Era. Perhaps Emperor Zun's corpse had been nurtured for a million years before emerging in the early years of that era.
"Fuxi? The first emperor of the Desolate Antiquity Era. His unusual position makes him highly suspicious."
Everyone's gaze instantly fell upon Lin Xian. He had received Fuxi's inheritance and possessed the Emperor Weapon, the Fuxi Dragon Stele. There were plenty of grounds for suspicion.
