The Far North.
Small Extreme Palace.
The entire palace had been carved from ten-thousand-year-old ice jade, its chill seeping into the bones.
After touring the Beast Divine Temple, Ning Fengzhi and his party arrived here.
Two more figures had joined the group.
Ah Yin had a gentle bearing and soft features.
The Ice Empress wore blue, her expression cold and indifferent.
The Snow Empress resided permanently at the Human Emperor Hall.
As the deputy palace master of Small Extreme Palace, she was its actual master. Now, answering the Human Emperor's command, she had come forward to introduce Small Extreme Palace.
"Our Small Extreme Palace has sixty-eight Soul Beasts over a hundred thousand years old, and twelve Ferocious Beasts over two hundred thousand years old."
"There is also the eighth deity, the Snow Empress, and the fourth deity, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm."
The Ice Empress sounded somewhat reluctant when she mentioned the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Unpleasant memories resurfaced in her mind.
At the back of the crowd.
Yu Xiaogang looked up at the Sky Screen, his expression dark and ugly.
Seeing the Human Emperor World's extraordinarily high support rate made him deeply displeased.
Fortunately, that support rate had suddenly dropped back to a normal level. Although he did not know why, the two worlds' support rates were now close.
Grandmaster finally managed a trace of a smile.
Bai He and the others' publicity must have worked.
These ignorant fools believe whatever they're told.
Idiots.
He puffed out his chest, pride welling up within him.
If I hadn't spent all day devising strategies and had Bai He smear the Human Emperor in advance, Peerless Tang Sect would probably have been defeated long ago.
How else could it still stand toe-to-toe with the Human Emperor World in support?
Little San really ought to thank me.
Still, he's my own disciple, after all. As his teacher, this is what I should do.
He praised himself inwardly.
Just then.
A golden imperial edict flew through the air and came to a steady stop before the Ice Empress.
The Ice Empress raised her hand to receive it, her expression respectful.
A moment later, she put the edict away, turned to the crowd, and spoke calmly.
"Regarding the appearance of the Sky Screen in the Human Emperor World, there is no need for any of you to be surprised."
"This is a normal phenomenon."
Ning Fengzhi froze briefly, feeling as though heaven and earth had been turned upside down.
We're clearly the observers. By rights, we should be explaining things to the people of the Human Emperor World, asking them to believe us and reassuring them not to be shocked.
Why has it turned around now?
You're making it seem as though you're the transmigrators.
He could not help asking, "Senior, are you not even slightly surprised to witness such a phenomenon?"
"Of course there is surprise."
"But His Majesty the Human Emperor knows all and can do all. Since His Majesty already knew, there is no need for us to worry."
Beside them, Bi Ji spoke respectfully.
"Already knew?"
"How could His Majesty the Human Emperor have known in advance about something from ten thousand years ago? Could His Majesty travel through time and go into the past?"
Ning Fengzhi grew even more puzzled.
Ah Yin, standing nearby, chuckled softly.
"Well, who knows? Perhaps he can."
"His Majesty the Human Emperor has always been capable of anything."
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong exchanged looks, their hearts full of doubt, unable to believe it completely.
Capable of anything?
How could someone so heaven-defying exist in this world?
Yu Xiaogang immediately sneered inwardly, his face full of disdain.
What a boast!
Who could possibly travel back into the past?
That doesn't even make sense.
Chen Xin looked at Ah Yin, having held back the whole way.
He had kept feeling that her appearance resembled that of the girl he had once seen beside the Clear Sky Twin Stars.
Finally, he could no longer resist voicing his question.
"Miss, do you know Tang Hao?"
"Tang Hao? I've never heard of him."
Ah Yin shook her head gently.
"How could that be? Ah Yin!"
In the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao watched this scene, a sudden pain stabbing through his heart.
Ah Yin actually did not know Tang Hao.
That meant...
In this timeline, she had never met Tang Hao or Tang Xiao.
Nor did she have any memories of the three of them together.
It was her face, that familiar appearance.
Yet she was no longer the gentle, kind Ah Yin who had traveled alongside them back then.
Tang Xiao felt sorrowful, and somewhat worried.
If Tang Hao witnessed this scene himself one day, then learned this truth amid his great joy, he could easily suffer an emotional collapse!
The Divine Realm.
The Asura God Temple.
"Tang San! Why did you descend to the lower realm without authorization?"
The God of Destruction questioned him coldly.
Tang San offered no defense and simply waved his hand.
Countless images of the lower realm, scenes of the Sky Screen, and projections of Di Tian's and the others' memories instantly filled the entire temple.
In just an instant, everyone had absorbed the memories.
The Five Great God Kings' expressions changed drastically.
"What is this thing?"
"Even you couldn't destroy it?"
The God of Life looked at Tang San with a frown.
"Could it be a contingency left behind by the Dragon God who fell all those years ago?"
"Impossible."
"The Dragon God fell long ago."
"Perhaps this is a scheme by another divine domain against our Divine Realm!"
"How could any other realm possess this kind of power? Absolutely impossible."
"Yes. Coming from the past to the future, parallel worlds-even the Dragon God back then couldn't have accomplished this."
The Five Great God Kings offered their conjectures.
The more they discussed it, the heavier their hearts grew.
"One day in heaven is one year below."
"We must decide quickly whether to intervene in this acceleration of time."
Tang San raised his head and reminded them solemnly.
The God of Destruction's gaze was icy.
"We intervene! We must!"
"Let them come."
"I'd like to see whether those people from ten thousand years ago can truly cross time and space to reach our world!"
"If they dare come, we can follow the threads of the spider's web and root out whoever is behind this!"
"I don't believe anyone in this world can truly come from the past!"
He spoke firmly, already treating the Sky Screen as an enemy in his heart.
"Good!"
"Then leave it to me."
Tang San brimmed with confidence.
He was a deity with dual godhood born on the Douluo Continent itself.
As long as he spoke in person, he would surely win over the people from ten thousand years ago and have them choose the Peerless Tang Sect timeline!
"Thank you for your efforts, Asura God."
Ten thousand years earlier.
The Douluo Continent.
Everyone looked up at the Sky Screen, puzzled.
The god of Peerless Tang Sect had already appeared and acted, so why had the deities of the Human Emperor World shown no response at all?
Could it truly be as the Ice Empress had said-that the Human Emperor had already seen through everything and disdained responding?
Mysterious!
"So cool!"
"The Human Emperor is badass."
"Sea God Tang San is just lame."
Everyone's eyes shone.
By comparison, Sea God Tang San had looked shocked upon seeing the Sky Screen and had acted impatiently, yet could do nothing to it.
The Human Emperor seemed even more profound, mysterious, and unfathomable.
Even though the Human Emperor had not acted, most people still used their imaginations to conjure up the Human Emperor World's might.
Peerless Tang Sect's support rate began falling again, finally settling at 41%.
If Sea God Tang San did not act again, perhaps this would be the final result.
However.
Just then.
On the Sky Screen, in the Peerless Tang Sect world.
Tang San's figure appeared again in the Divine Realm, his expression serious, as though he were looking at them across the distance.
"People of ten thousand years ago, hear me!"
"The Human Emperor World is the domain of an evil god who steals authority over time and disrupts the order of the heavens!"
"Do not be deceived by its outward appearance and stray onto the wrong path!"
"In my capacity as Sea God Tang San, on behalf of all the deities of the Divine Realm, I affirm that Peerless Tang Sect alone is the legitimate timeline. For everyone's safety, please choose the Peerless Tang Sect timeline."
His mighty voice spread across the continent.
Everyone erupted in an uproar.
The Human Emperor was actually an evil god?
Was that true or false?
Some people grew fearful and hesitant.
But a small number also felt torn and were unwilling to believe it. The Human Emperor World simply had too many benefits and advantages, and they had already become its devoted fans.
