"Right!"
Jiang Wanwan nodded seriously.
Seeing Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly become unusually serious just from mentioning a name, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, as well as the people from the Douluo Continent, became even more curious.
What exactly did this Void Emperor do to become a great being worthy of the reverence of all humans and even all living beings in the entire universe?
Jiang Wanwan continued speaking.
"In the distant, ancient times, Dark Turmoil frequently occurred..."
Seemingly worried that Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun might not understand what the Dark Turmoil was, Jiang Wanwan explained in detail, " The Dark Turmoil is the most terrible disaster in the universe."
" Ancient Supreme who emerged from Life Forbidden Zone, in order to prolong their own lives, would unleash Dark Turmoil, devouring the life essence of all beings in the universe."
"That was the true end of the world. Mountains and rivers were shattered, stars dimmed, countless Ancient Life Star became wastelands, billions of lives wailed, blood flowed into rivers, and corpses piled up into the highest mountains..."
???
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun's delicate bodies trembled involuntarily, and a look of horror appeared in their beautiful eyes.
Although they didn't know what "Ancient Supreme" meant, they were already aware of the cruelty of the Shrouding the Heavens World "...
But when I hear descriptions like "devouring all spirits" and "blood flowing into rivers, and bones piling up into the highest mountains," I still feel a chill to the bone.
What a desperate sight that was!
That wasn't war, that was reaping, that was slaughter!
In order to prolong their lives, they treat all living beings in the universe as food?
"This... how is this possible?" Zhu Zhuyun's voice was hoarse, her beautiful eyes filled with utter shock. "Billions upon billions of lives... how many lives would that be? Even Evil Soul Master couldn't do such a thing..."
She came from the Star Luo Empire and was used to the ruthlessness of power struggles within the imperial court. But even the Star Luo Imperial Family's most brutal purges paled in comparison to this " Dark Turmoil."
Moreover, judging from Jiang Wanwan's words, this kind of disaster is not a one-off event, but rather... frequent?
But it wasn't just Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun who were shocked; at this moment Douluo Continent, beneath the Heavenly Screen...
"Devouring... devouring all spirits?"
Shrek Academy.
Xiao Wu stared blankly at the sky, her face deathly pale.
"Three... three... Jiang Wanwan said, to... to eat... everyone on the entire planet? This... this is the devil!"
" Ancient Supreme... must kill everyone just to survive?"
Ma Hongjun, who was standing next to him, also trembled.
"Rivers of blood, mountains of corpses..." His eyes were filled with terror. "How many people must have died? What an immense sin..."
In the Douluo Continent.
Murder for treasure and sect feuds, though bloody, at least have a "reason" and a "limit".
But in that world, the strong regard all living beings as mere weeds, as ants, as... food?!
Just to live a little longer, hundreds of millions of people are being sacrificed!
This naked and inhumane law of the jungle completely shattered the worldview of the inhabitants of the Douluo Continent.
Oscar was equally appalling. "Devouring life essence... This... This is ten thousand times more evil than Evil Soul Master!"
" Evil Soul Master?" Tang San clenched his fists, his face full of horror. " Evil Soul Master can at most slaughter a city and destroy a country, which is already a heinous crime."
But those so-called ' Supreme ' actually use the universe as their hunting ground!
This is simply... this is...
He couldn't find the words to describe it; he only felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
Yu Xiaogang was puzzled, "How could... how could such a world exist?"
"How do the people there survive?"
"That world... it's terrifying." Flender pushed up his glasses, his voice hoarse.
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's stunningly beautiful face was now filled with shock and astonishment.
In order to become a god, to take revenge on Qian Xunji, and to destroy the Angel Clan, she secretly did many dark things.
She always thought she was cold-blooded and cruel enough.
But only now, upon hearing the truth about the " Dark Turmoil," did she understand what it meant to be a small fry compared to a big fish.
Compared to those Ancient Supreme who devoured billions of lives at a time, her so-called "evil" was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
"Is this... the true world of the strong?"
Bibi Dong muttered to herself.
That world has the supreme path that people yearn for, but it also has... a dark abyss that inspires despair.
For a time, the entire Douluo Continent was shrouded in an emotion called "fear".
They finally glimpsed the true face beneath the tip of the iceberg of the Shrouding the Heavens World".
That wasn't Heaven, it was hell.
A true hell on earth where the strong rule, human life is worthless, and stars are destroyed and all living beings are devoured at will...
"What did the Void Emperor do in that world?"
Someone in the deathly silent crowd asked in a low voice.
This question sent a chill down everyone's spine. When they looked up at the Heavenly Screen again, the fear in their eyes was gradually replaced by curiosity.
The dialogue within the Shrouding the Heavens World continues.
"Those were truly difficult times."
Jiang Wanwan's voice was low and filled with endless sorrow, "Humanity has just experienced a great calamity. Sages have fallen, powerful figures have perished, and the entire universe is shrouded in darkness."
"The seven Life Forbidden Zone were far more active back then than they are now."
Every outbreak of Dark Turmoil is the end of the world for all living beings.
Countless Ancient Life Star, have been reduced to desolate wastelands, and billions of living beings have turned to withered bones, all to perpetuate the decaying lives of those Ancient Supreme.
" The Void Emperor attained enlightenment amidst such despair."
In Jiang Wanwan's eyes, the tragic state of that era seemed to be reflected.
"On the day he attained enlightenment, a great calamity swept Cosmic Frontier, shaking all the heavens."
Before all the races could offer their congratulations, before he could enjoy the glory of becoming emperor, Forbidden Zone Supreme made a move, intending to kill him when he was at his weakest."
"That battle shattered countless star systems, and the emperor's blood stained the heavens crimson."
"Since then, the Void Emperor has begun his conquests."
He never enjoyed a single day of peace, never established a supreme divine dynasty, and even his own lineage was nearly severed because of his conquests.
He faced too many enemies.
Undying Mountain, Primordial Ancient Mine, Immortal Mausoleum, Divine Ruins, Reincarnation Sea, Heaven Burial Heaven Island...
"In almost every one of the seven forbidden zones, Supreme has emerged, seeking to crush the last hope of humankind."
Others become emperors to rule the world and to achieve immortality.
The Void Emperor became an emperor solely to protect.
He shouldered the fate of the entire human race on his not-so-broad shoulders.
I once heard someone say...
"He once sat alone outside the Undying Mountain, intimidating the Supreme within and preventing them from making any rash moves, but this also exhausted most of his lifespan."
"He once stormed into the Reincarnation Sea, fought a bloody battle with the Supreme, shattered half of the forbidden zone, and finally returned covered in blood, carrying the head of the Supreme, shaking the world to its core."
"His entire life was filled with bloodshed and battle."
His wounds never fully healed; old wounds never healed before new ones appeared.
In his later years, his imperial body was riddled with holes and countless hidden injuries; even his Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, the Void Mirror, was covered in cracks and almost shattered.
