Golden Great Sun
"Only I, clinging to life, continued to uphold the divine light of Order amidst the unwilling gazes of the ten King of the Defiled World, firmly nailing this small Pure Land of the Yuanshi Divine Mountain to this endless Defiled World."
"They all think I'm going to die, and they all want to kill me, to deliver the final blow, and to destroy this only Pure Land rooted in this corrupt Defiled World. To achieve an unparalleled feat!"
But none of them dared.
The Emperor of Humanity scoffed.
Jiang Yuu naturally understood the reason behind it.
These King of the Defiled World, whose very essence was damaged by the Emperor of Humanity in the battle 100,000 years ago, naturally dared not seize great achievements alone under the watchful eyes of the other kings.
Moreover, even when the Emperor of Humanity is dying, he is not harmless.
This can be seen from the Golden Divine Domain that runs through the Defiled World and cuts off the Yuanshi Divine Mountain from the endless Defiled World.
Even in death, He could drag down a King of the Defiled World who dared to come and collect the fruit, and perish together with him.
Moreover, from the Emperor of Humanity's words, Jiang Yuu You could tell that the Emperor of Humanity's strength was actually greater than that of the Yuanshi.
However, none of these Emperor of Humanity.
He didn't care.
"So."
The Emperor of Humanity then laughed.
"After that battle, not only was I severely wounded, but Human Civilization was completely wiped out, and the Defiled World remained peaceful for a long time."
But I still have my last breath.
"I know they're waiting for me to completely decline and die."
"Then they will pounce on it, corrupting the Yuanshi Divine Mountain, that 'well,' the Multiverse, and the Lower Realm of True Nothingness it inhabits, leaving no Pure Land in the endless world, and depriving all normal beings of hope."
"Therefore, I have always held firm."
Admiration rose in Jiang Yuu's eyes.
He knew that the Emperor of Humanity's last breath would last for ten thousand years!
Moreover, it was during a time when civilization was destroyed, its people were wiped out, and the world was its enemy that it managed to hold on for 100,000 years, passing on the Flame of Succession of humanity and the Pure Land to Jiang Yuu.
The Emperor of Humanity continued.
"The enemies of this Defiled World are greedy and indifferent; they believe I will be slowly dragged to my death over the long years."
"But they didn't expect that I would be waiting for you."
"Saint Transcendent, an emperor even more skilled in battle than I am."
"Haha, I'm so happy!"
"I think they should be happy too."
He laughed heartily, his eyes filled with ease.
"Actually, over these past 100,000 years, I've sometimes felt uneasy. Because you, in the Lower Realm, haven't yet achieved Transcendence."
"Back then, when you embarked on the Path of Transcendence, I really wanted to step in and help you, but I knew that everyone's Path of Transcendence is different, and I couldn't interfere too much."
"Fortunately, you really did a great job, Jiang Yuu."
"From the perspective of time in the Lower Realm, achieving Transcendence in two hundred million years is far superior to my one billion years."
"That's not the same."
Jiang Yuu shook her head.
His ability to Transcendence was actually due to having predecessors as role models; if He were in the position of the Emperor of Humanity, it would probably be very difficult for Him to achieve Transcendence.
He possesses unparalleled combat prowess, but Transcendence not through sheer strength, but through his understanding and wisdom.
"Furthermore, after I Transcendence, I did not immediately go to the Upper Realm; otherwise, even if I could have gone earlier, I could have accomplished more."
He continued.
"I thought you and Human Civilization were still locked in a fierce battle in the Upper Realm, but I never imagined your situation had deteriorated to this extent."
"Don't blame yourself."
The Emperor of Humanity smiled and patted Him on the shoulder.
His hands looked charred and withered, a sign of depleted energy and blood.
"To me, your achievement of Transcendence is only a matter of over two hundred years ago."
Two hundred years is not enough to change anything.
"You have no idea, on the day you succeeded, I finally breathed a sigh of relief."
The Emperor of Humanity looked at Jiang Yuu, his eyes filled with anticipation for the future and worry for the enemies of this Defiled World, but not with fear of death.
He laughed.
"Jiang Yuu, don't dwell on the past, look to the future."
"You still have challenges ahead. Ten thousand years have passed, and the invasion of the Defiled World is imminent. Are you ready to face them?"
"Certainly."
Jiang Yuu.
"Um."
"I trust you!"
"I have nothing more to say."
After saying this, He turned his head, propped himself up, and slowly took a step forward.
He left the Golden Divine Domain, left the summit of the Yuanshi Divine Mountain, walked over every inch of Holiness land, past every fallen battle flag, past every erected tombstone, and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, He returned to the mountaintop, to the Golden Divine Domain, to the broken Golden Divine Bell, and gently picked it up, tenderly stroking it.
"You've worked hard, old buddy."
The Divine Bell trembled in response, as if a trace of its spiritual essence had not yet been extinguished.
Beside.
Jiang Yuu looked at Him and couldn't help but speak.
"Your Emperor of Humanity, perhaps I can prolong your life..."
At this moment, this Emperor of Humanity did not resemble a human Emperor, but rather a veteran who had retired from the battlefield.
Upon hearing Jiang Yuu's words, the Emperor of Humanity raised his head, glanced wistfully in the direction of the "well," and turned back to him with a smile.
"No need. I know my situation. If it weren't for my lingering obsession, I would have died long ago. Even if I could survive, I wouldn't be myself anymore, and I don't want that."
He embraced the great bell, ascended to the heavens, and calmly faced his death.
And His voice finally resounded throughout the entire Yuanshi Divine Mountain, allowing everyone to hear it.
"Angel, His Emperor Yuanshi left behind Yuanshi Divine Mountain, and I too shall leave something for you."
Countless people heard Him laugh.
What joy is there in living, what fear is there in dying!
"Burn my remaining body to illuminate the way for those who come after!"
In an instant.
In mid-air.
His body burst into flames, and his Divine Bell also burned on the Yuanshi Divine Mountain.
Endless, dazzling light blooms upon this vast and Beyond Transcendence!
The light washed away the gray haze from the entire Yuanshi Divine Mountain, revealing a Pure Land and pristine land to the armies of Paradise Mountain.
This endless golden radiance did not fall, but instead transformed into a Golden Great Sun atop the Yuanshi Divine Mountain, soaring majestically into the sky!
"In my name: all who stand under the Golden Great Sun shall be blessed by the Power of Transcendence of Sovereignty!"
May you go even further.
At the same time as the Golden Great Sun was formed.
The already crumbling Golden Divine Domain collapsed instantly.
Without the protection of this Emperor of Humanity's power...
Endless malice from the Defiled World surged wildly into the Yuanshi Divine Mountain.
Countless eyes, filled with greed and madness, lit up at this moment, like endless Stars, pressing down with overwhelming force.
Watching...
The Defiled World is about to pollute this Pure Land, and countless powerful figures in this Defiled World are eager to make their move.
But the next moment...
A beam of Platinum light shot up with a roar, once again supporting the sky above this only Pure Land Beyond Transcendence, keeping out endless malice and Defiled World pollution!
And within the endless Platinum radiance.
A radiant and majestic figure stood proudly at the end of the Yuanshi Divine Mountain, sword drawn but not drawn, gazing intently at the countless restless, malicious gazes in all directions, issuing a solemn Holiness declaration to the entire Beyond Transcendence, vast, and Defiled World:
"Though the Emperor of Humanity is dead, I have arrived!"
"With me here."
This mountain won't collapse!
