The three invincible Heavenly Emperors had left far too deep an impression on the world. Heavenly Emperor Ye, Emperor Wu Shi, and the White-Clothed Female Emperor were all unrivaled throughout past and present, the pillars of faith of the Heavenly Court. Now the Heavenly Court had collapsed, and the Emperors had encountered beings they could not defeat and fled the Soul River. Too many people refused to believe this and wanted to charge through the gateway to uncover the truth.
The phenomena reflected from beyond the gateway were simply too shocking. The River of Time had broken, even the Sea of Time had stopped flowing, and a power that suppressed every timeline of past, present, and future was spreading. It was not directed at them; even cultivators of the immortal Dao could scarcely perceive it.
Yet Emperor Wu Shi's peerless Dharma Body, which had suppressed past, present, and future, had fallen into the River of Time. His broken bell released one final, mournful toll that echoed through eternity. His towering imperial might faded into ancient history, and every trace of his existence seemed about to be erased from everyone's memories. A terrifying will was interfering with the reality of all ages, influencing the thoughts of all living beings. Clearly, whether the three invincible Heavenly Emperors or the Kings, this was their first encounter with such an incomprehensible power.
Moreover, the other two Heavenly Emperors had likewise been intercepted. The Mother Qi of All Things Cauldron, which anchored the Heavenly Court's fortune, could no longer manifest in the present age. The White-Clothed Female Emperor's whereabouts were unknown. Only two distorted Rivers of Time fleeing toward the myriad ages remained, while imperial blood filled the sky and stained that stretch of ancient history crimson.
