Qingwu seemed to have reacted as well. He immediately widened his eyes and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Shen Huai nodded at him.

When Qingwu saw this, he was greatly shocked. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"The divination is no longer credible, so let's just follow our heart." Shen Huai said slowly, turning his head to look towards the southernmost direction, "Then let's go this way."

Qingwu followed his gaze and quickly figured out where the end of this direction was. His heart suddenly jumped.

"This is……"

Suddenly, countless images of blood surging in the darkness appeared in his mind.

Shen Huai's voice was unusually firm, "Just go this way."

…

Upper realm.

Tiandu, which was originally the center of the upper realm and the holy land that many practitioners in the upper realm dreamed of, has now collapsed and countless black waters have almost covered the entire Tiandu.

A group of people stood around Tiandu.

They are Ji Shaoshen from the Ten Directions Ancient Ruins, the emperors from the thirteen veins of the upper realm, and many powerful people and geniuses from the upper realm.

Together they formed a powerful defensive barrier that prevented Black Water from breaking through.

Elder Qiu, an elder under Emperor Fengxing, was also among them.

Old Qiu is tall and he and Ji Shaoshen stand side by side, like two unshakable mountains.

At this moment, their expressions were extremely serious.

A young man in the crowd muttered in confusion, "How strange! Why are we foolishly guarding this murky water? Why don't we take the initiative and attack the enemy? They explained before that they wanted to give Tiandu and the people nearby enough time to retreat, so that the weaker ones wouldn't be harmed. But those people have already retreated for nearly a month! How long do they have to wait before they take action?"

When the people around heard this, they felt the same way.

For them, attack is better than defense.

Always on guard, fearing some accidents might happen.

In fact, the thirteen emperors of the upper realm also had doubts in their hearts at the beginning. They once asked Elder Qiu and Young Master Ji: Why don’t you attack but just defend?

Their response was: wait.

As time passed, until just now, a number of memories suddenly appeared in the minds of the great emperors of the thirteen veins of the upper realm. The images were fragmentary and shocking...

Make their faces pale.

I remember now.

They all remembered.

The upper world is about to be destroyed by the black water, and all living things will be swallowed up by the black water, including them.

Their eyes fell on the black water in Tiandu. The black water exuded a creepy smell and a faint light emerged, making their scalps tingle and their backs shine.

What on earth is going on?!

Are these memories real?

Did they die once and then be reborn?

But why are things happening now not consistent with what happened in the previous life?

In their memory, Ji Shaoshen had never appeared.

Mr. Qiu was the first one to die.

The direction of this life seems to be invisibly controlled by a big hand.

In the previous life, many powerful people in the upper realm were tempted by the black water, and eventually they were retaliated against and turned into black water monsters, and then slaughtered the creatures in the upper realm.

These great emperors led their disciples to deal with these black water monsters.

The ending is——

They are all dead.

Then, their souls seemed to be electrocuted, and when they opened their eyes again, it was this life.

After they sorted out their thoughts, their faces turned gloomy.

They subconsciously looked at each other, only to find that the other person's expression was also not right.

"you……"

Soon, they communicated with each other through voice transmission.

Then I discovered a horrible fact...

They are all reborn!

The Five Elements Emperor was shocked and said, "No way, we are all reborn?"

The Holy Buddha Emperor said in a serious tone, "It must be that the heavens have mercy on us, so they have given us the opportunity to live again. This time we must not let the black water bring disaster to the world!"

The Dao Clan Emperor said fiercely, "We must get rid of the Black Water first! We can't wait any longer!"

"Wait!" Judge Emperor Bai Faji said in a voice transmission, "Have you ever considered this? We are simply reborn, and nothing will change. But in this life, everything is changing."

After hearing this, the emperors calmed down.

"Indeed." The Emperor of the Gan Clan narrowed his eyes.

Emperor Baili said slowly, "So what's different from the last life? Or perhaps, from where did the course of events begin to change?"

All the emperors began to recall the differences between their previous life and this life.

Soon, shock appeared on their faces.

"yes……"

"Chen Yan's appearance!"

There was no Chen Yan in the previous life.

In the previous life, there was also the half-demon Wen Yuchu, but they were unable to capture Wen Yuchu.

Wen Yuchu killed Emperor Zhufeng and President Yuanshi with his own hands, but lost both arms in the process and could no longer play the magic harp.

Wen Yuchu hid himself to avoid being hunted down.

Later, the Black Water brought disaster to the world.

Wen Yuchu appeared again. He did not come to wreak havoc on the world like Heishui did. He came to save those weak creatures.

In their previous life, they died earlier than Wen Yuchu, so they didn't know what happened to Wen Yuchu.

However, they could probably guess that Wen Yuchu's strength was greatly reduced after losing both arms, and he was destined not to live long in such a chaotic world.

The Kun Clan Emperor said in a complicated tone, "Yes, it was Chen Yan. She completely changed the trajectory of everything. Not only did she become our master, she was also the supreme master of this upper realm. Even the fate of the half-demon was rewritten because of her!"

Judge Emperor Bai Faji smiled slightly and said softly, "So, we must not act impulsively at this moment. Don't forget, whose orders did Elder Qiu take? It was Chen Yan, our master. Since she asked us to protect Tiandu for the time being, she must have a deeper meaning. Without a doubt, she is the source of all these changes."

The emperors had different expressions when they heard this.

The Holy Buddha Emperor frowned and asked doubtfully, "Does she really have this ability?"

Judge Emperor Bai Faji asked, "You think she doesn't? She's not only the Lord of our Upper Realm, but also the Lord of the Underworld—the Dark Emperor. Furthermore, she's been alive for so long in the Primordial Realm, which is enough to prove her strength. If she can't change our fate, then who else can?"

When the emperors heard these words and recalled Chen Yan's terrifying strength, they were convinced.

That's right, if she can't do it, then who can?!

The emperors communicated with each other so frequently that both Old Qiu and Young Master Ji had already noticed.

But none of them interrupted.

Instead, they chose to remain silent and observe it all quietly.

Old Qiu and Young Master Ji looked at each other. The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if an invisible tacit understanding flowed between them.
