Imperial Lord of Order

After hearing the words of the Empress of Calamity, everyone found it hard to accept, but none of them objected.

They believed their mother's words.

At this moment.

Yuanshi asked again.

"Mother, can we really escape? The enemies of this Defiled World never spare anyone from the Pure Land."

"No matter where you escape to, they will find you and kill you."

"You can escape."

The Empress of Calamity remained calm and composed, speaking indifferently.

"I made a pact with a Slave of the Defiled World; he will kill me, allowing him to claim the greatest credit for conquering the Pure Land."

"And he promised me that after he became the King of the Defiled World, he would give you a chance to escape."

"How could a corrupt Defiled Thrall, a King of the Defiled World, possibly achieve such a position?"

The Empress's children did not believe it.

"I don't know what method he'll use, but I choose to believe him."

"You are also familiar with this Slave of the Defiled World. He was originally a Lord of the Pure Land, but when he was unable to defeat the invasion of the Defiled World, he voluntarily succumbed to Defiled World corruption and became one of its Defiled Thrall."

She seemed to know some secret, but had no intention of revealing it.

"Mother, who is that Lord of the Defiled World?"

"You'll find out then."

The Empress of Calamity did not respond, but instead spoke.

"Alright, you guys should run away now."

"Yes..."

The center of the Golden Divine Domain.

The Emperor of Humanity recounted the entire scene from that year to Jiang Yuu, and then continued speaking.

"And so, His Emperor Yuanshi and His brothers and sisters fled from the Defiled World of Calamity."

"Later, His Emperor Yuanshi learned that this Lord of the Pure Land who willingly allowed himself to be corrupted by the Defiled World was none other than His mother, the Empress of Calamity."

"In the ensuing war, she deliberately exposed herself to the corruption of the Defiled World and led the attack on her own Pure Land, slaughtering countless Ascendant."

"Then, she quickly adapted to the rules of the Defiled World, devouring countless Defiled World in countless battles and killings, becoming yet another King of the Defiled World, known as the Lord of the Azure World."

"In the early stages, she did retain a sliver of her former rationality, refraining from hunting down her former offspring. However, as time went on, she gradually abandoned the rationality she once possessed as Ascendant from the Pure Land, transforming herself into a King of the Defiled World who killed and devoured her former offspring one by one."

"Because His Emperor Yuanshi hid himself so secretly and unexpectedly, he was not discovered by her. Instead, in endless solitude, he created the Multiverse and became Transcendence One."

"By the way, do you know where we are?"

The Emperor of Humanity asked with a smile.

Jiang Yuu shook his head; how could He possibly know?

"In fact, right in the middle of the Nine Great Pure Lands, His Emperor Yuanshi did not flee outwards like ordinary Nine Great Pure Lands. Instead, he went inwards and, in a Lower Realm in the middle of the Nine Great Pure Lands, used the power of the Pure Land of Calamity to sweep away all the worlds polluted by the Defiled World world in this Lower Realm, throwing them out of the 'well.' From then on, its interior was transformed into True Nothingness."

"The Nine Great Pure Lands are located in the Defiled World. Here, the auras of the King of the Defiled World intertwine, and since there is nothing in the True Nothingness Realm, they have temporarily overlooked this place."

"And this place True Nothingness, this 'well' is where we were born."

The Emperor of Humanity smiled and looked towards the foot of the Yuanshi Divine Mountain. In that hazy gray expanse lay the "Well" of the Four Land of Being, where they resided.

"I see."

This is what happens when you're in the dark.

"You know what happened next."

"Because of the spread of the Defiled World Multiverse could no longer be concealed. In order to protect all living beings and rebuild the Pure Land, His Emperor Yuanshi resolutely stepped out of the 'well' and, as a Transcendence One being, stood in the Defiled World, supporting a piece of unpolluted heaven and earth, and opening up a small Pure Land, which is where we are now."

"Therefore, we are actually at the very center of this Defiled World."

Jiang Yuu chuckled softly.

"That's exactly right!"

The Emperor of Humanity nodded.

"According to the timeline Beyond Transcendence, that would be 340 million years ago."

"In the center of this murky, gray Defiled World, a magnificent light of Order suddenly rose, and the Yuanshi emerged from the 'well,' breaking through the pollution of this Defiled World."

"Such a commotion is hard to conceal."

"Then, the Ten King of the Defiled World discovered Him."

"That's all."

"A battle spanning three hundred million years has begun."

The Emperor of Humanity's words carried a hint of reverence.

That's three hundred million years.

"Of course, at first, the King of the Defiled World didn't take the Yuanshi seriously, because He emerged from a 'well' and didn't initially display any particularly powerful aura."

"Because Yuanshi understood that a Lower Realm that had given rise to life and Order was not worth the great turmoil of the rulers of this Defiled World."

"As long as we control the intensity of the battle, we won't attract the King of the Defiled World right from the start."

"Thus, in the midst of a long and drawn-out struggle, the enemies facing Yuanshi grew stronger and stronger. Ultimately, He attracted the first King of the Defiled World, His former mother, the Empress of Calamity, and now the Lord of the Azure World."

"But at this time, although the Lord of the Azure World possessed all the memories and personality of the Empress of Calamity, her thoughts, perceptions, and actions had long been altered by the Defiled World."

"Upon first seeing Yuanshi, the Lord of the Azure World only wanted to kill Him, shattering any lingering illusions that Emperor Yuanshi had previously held."

He felt only a chilling sense of alienation.

"And so, for the sake of all living beings, He fought a battle against His mother."

"In this battle, the aura He displayed completely surpassed that of the King of the Defiled World; it was the transcendent aura of Transcendence One of Order."

"The result is clear: the Lord of the Azure World has been defeated."

"In terms of strength, a Transcendence One is stronger than a King of the Defiled World."

"But even Emperor Yuanshi couldn't kill the Lord of the Azure World. Firstly, He had just Transcendence and his strength hadn't reached its peak. Secondly, the Lord of the Azure World was, after all, His mother, and He couldn't bring himself to commit matricide."

"After the Lord of the Azure World was defeated, the news quickly spread throughout the Defiled World."

"The King of the Defiled World began to marvel at the emergence of such a powerful being as a Transcendence One."

"According to the Lord of the Azure World, when a Pure Land falls, an emperor will emerge in that land."

"They refer to His Emperor Yuanshi as 'Emperor,' and combined with the Transcendence power He wielded, similar to the Pure Land of Order, he became known as the Imperial Lord of Order."

"And a Imperial Lord of Order is clearly more powerful than the previous Lord of the Pure Land of Order."

"This led them to believe that killing Emperor Yuanshi was a greater feat than conquering the Pure Land, a feat that could allow even the King of the Defiled World to ascend once more!"

"Thus, more than two hundred million years after stepping out of the 'well,' apart from the Lord of the Azure World was recuperating from his injuries, the nine King of the Defiled World jointly attacked the Yuanshi."
