Beneath the curtain of history, the past is revisited.
Under Chen Qingyu's gaze:
Emperor Yuan, by the stream, cast off his fishing rod, recited four lines of his final poem, then closed his eyes with a smile and breathed his last.
"Strangeness..."
Chen Qingyu's eyes were fixed on this scene.
It is obvious:
After Emperor Yuan passed away, he did not allow his remains to dissolve, but his body vanished into thin air.
What exactly happened during that time?
"Boom!"
Emperor Yuan's life force dissipated, a faint black flame suddenly rose from his body, enveloping him like a thin veil.
His eyes opened, his pupils were pitch black, and his white clothes were instantly stained black.
"Oh..."
The black-robed " Emperor Yuan," who had seemingly risen from the dead, glanced at the fishing rod in the stream and sneered:
"To laugh and defy this life, and start anew?"
"So, you noticed my presence too..."
He raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the barriers of space, looking towards the vast, Desolate Continent outside:
"It's remarkable that you've willingly stayed in this remote and impoverished place for 30,000 years."
"However, I have no interest in staying in this Savage Wilderness..."
With a flick of his sleeve, showing no trace of lingering affection, he took a step and vanished from sight.
In the stream, only an empty fishing rod remains.
"This, this..."
Chen Qingyu was shocked, his heart filled with turmoil.
Emperor Yuan died and then was reborn?
No, it should be said that another version of him was reborn!
" The Emperor Yuan has resurrected and become Corpse Demon? No, it shouldn't be; this aura is completely different from that of Corpse Demon..."
"So, Emperor Yuan actually possesses another will, or rather, another personality!"
A thunderbolt seemed to explode in Chen Qingyu's mind, tearing through the fog.
Many mysteries that had previously puzzled him seemed to have been answered at this moment:
Why did the Great Void Primal Spirit, with its overwhelming advantages and years of planning, fail at the final step of its reincarnation?
Why did Saint King Tianchen and his entourage behave strangely from beginning to end, even neglecting to collect the body of Emperor Yuan?
Where did the secret of the resurrected Corpse Demon originate?
Saint King Tianchen and his group really have the audacity to openly defy Emperor Yuan's Decree and utilize his research findings from years ago?
In just a century, could Wu Chenkong truly acquire those terrifying technologies by comprehending that knowledge?
"..."
Chen Qingyu remained silent, his mind racing with thoughts.
This scene completely overturned his understanding, and many past facts were overturned.
What is the truth, really?
"Could this person be Emperor Yuan's inner demon, or the dark side of his personality?"
"Could he be the mastermind behind everything?!"
Chen Qingyu frowned deeply.
This revolutionary truth connected all the mysteries, leading him to a vague connection and a terrifying conclusion—
Very likely:
Saint King Tianchen and others, including Wu Chenkong, were all influenced and manipulated by him.
If it is the inner demon of Emperor Yuan, then it possesses the power of Quasi-Emperor, and it would be no difficulty for it to influence these people silently.
If we extrapolate from this perspective:
The Saint King Tianchen and others were disobedient and disobedient to the Emperor Yuan's Decree, most likely because they were influenced and manipulated by him without even realizing it.
It's impossible that Emperor Yuan didn't value character and moral qualities when accepting disciples, right?
After training so many apprentices for so many years, do he really have no feelings for them at all? Are they all disobedient, unfilial, and ungrateful? Miaomiao said.
And Wu Chenkong;
Can he really turn the tide against Great Void Primal Spirit on his own?
You must understand, he was facing a supreme being who had lived for countless millennia, possessed boundless knowledge, had the power of Peak Quasi-Emperor, and had been meticulously plotting for hundreds of thousands of years.
If other Quasi-Emperor level beings intervened, then all of this would make sense.
After all, the time of reincarnation is also when the Great Void Primal Spirit is at its weakest. If someone stabs you in the back, you will naturally be unable to resist and suffer a crushing defeat.
"So that's the truth..."
Chen Qingyu muttered to himself, a scene suddenly flashing through his mind—
Before his death, Wu Chenkong showed no resentment or despair; instead, he seemed to have let go of everything. His last words were, "At least in this world, no one can control me anymore..."
Who was manipulating him before?
Chen Qingyu had initially thought that Wu Chenkong was referring to the Great Void Primal Spirit the Void, but now it seemed that he was referring to something else entirely.
" Wu Chenkong's condition is unusual, and given that he wields the Great Void Might, he may have vaguely sensed my presence."
"He was unwilling to surrender and wait for death, which is why he started the Great War on the Desolate Continent."
"Perhaps, because of his repeated secret interventions, Emperor Yuan became aware of it, but he was already extremely weak and unable to stop him, which led to that final, fatal poem."
Let's start over with a laugh.
Emperor Yuan's poem clearly refers to another figure in black robes, "Himself."
Whether he was unwilling or regretful, he was going to die anyway, and death would end everything, so he simply let go and accepted it.
The more Chen Qingyu thought about it, the more he felt that what he had pieced together was probably the truth!
"It turns out that the mastermind behind all this chaos in the Desolate Continent was actually the dark side of Emperor Yuan's inner demons!"
" The Saint King Tianchen, Wu Chenkong, and the others are all his pawns!"
Even the Great Void Primal Spirit fell for his scheme and vanished into thin air...
Chen Qingyu frowned, a hint of confusion creeping into his mind.
Manipulating Saint King Tianchen, Wu Chenkong, and others, he betrayed Great Void Primal Spirit, unleashed the Corpse Demon Calamity, and single-handedly orchestrated the Great War of the Desolate Continent.
As the mastermind behind it all, what exactly is his goal?
Why, after Emperor Yuan's death and gaining his freedom, did he not bother to linger and simply leave?
"This is absolutely bizarre..."
There must be a purpose behind stirring up trouble in the shadows, right?
Whether it was unifying the Desolate Continent or seizing the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror, after Emperor Yuan's death, no one could stop him.
You should know:
As the inner demon and dark side of Emperor Yuan, another will, he wielded Emperor Yuan's three supreme treasures without any hindrance.
At that time, the Great Void Might had not yet been unified, and even if Wu Chenkong and Chen Qingyu joined forces, they were no match for him. There was no one on this Desolate Continent who could stop him.
But he did nothing and just left.
Even the three great treasures that could be considered his own were not retrieved.
No, that's not right!
Chen Qingyu suddenly woke up, and belatedly realized something:
At that time, the Saint King Tianchen was defeated and Origin-Slaying Heavenly Execution Sword disappeared without a trace. Later, the Saint King Danzhu and the Saint King Langgu fled directly to the outer sea, leaving decisively and swiftly.
They left, taking the three great treasures with them from the Desolate Continent.
Was someone alerting them, or were they subtly influenced?
"Call..."
Chen Qingyu took a deep breath and sorted out his chaotic thoughts.
anyway:
The dark side of Emperor Yuan's inner demons has left this Desolate Continent and is unlikely to return.
Some secrets are destined to remain unsolved—unless one day you have the chance to hear them from him directly.
"What good will knowing the truth do?"
"It all happened a long time ago, and Chen Clan and I were the ultimate winners..."
Chen Qingyu shook his head, looking dejected, then turned and flew away.
