The Great Emperor?

Does this refer to the Heavenly Emperor?

What the heck is this "Emperor's Appearance" thing?!

He tried to open the grayed-out interface, but found that he couldn't click on it at all. At the same time, a system notification appeared.

"Cooling down (0/1)..."

An inverted hourglass appeared on the system interface, with countless flowing grains of sand slowly converging downwards.

Shen Qian was completely bewildered, his head covered in fog.

He seemed to be missing a piece of his memory, which left him completely unaware of what had happened.

Suddenly, Shen Qian realized something and quickly opened the file cabinet storing the hang-up records.

Sure enough, a brand new folder had appeared in the place where the files that were stored were stored.

Having not experienced the system's forced AFK (away from keyboard) mode for a long time, Chen Qian clicked on the AFK record page with a puzzled look.

"You sensed a strong threat (?)"

..."

The first line of the hang-up log startled Shen Qian.

The strong threat must refer to Jiang Chengye, right?

The question mark should have been for the time, but for some reason it turned into gibberish.

Is it because there's a problem with the spacetime in this Heavenly Realm that we can't obtain time?

As he pondered, he continued reading.

"...

You forcibly terminated the process of digesting the remaining energy of the 'Fragments of the Investiture of the Gods' (?) (Note 1)

You have awakened a past memory and arrived at the Lingxiao Palace (?).

You used the remaining fragments of the Investiture of the Gods to condense the Heavenly Emperor's immortal position (?) (Note 2)

You have activated the 'Emperor's Form' (?) (Note 3)

..."

Shen Qian stared wide-eyed at the few lines of text. "Damn it, I recognize each of these words individually, but why can't I understand them at all when they're put together?"

He was familiar with the fragments of the Investiture of the Gods, and as he had guessed, the Investiture of the Gods in Jiang Chengye's hands was not the complete Investiture of the Gods. Like the Nine Heavens List, it was only a part of the real Investiture of the Gods.

But why did I awaken a so-called past memory?

Lingxiao Palace... the Heavenly Emperor's immortal throne...

Shen Qian suddenly had a guess and was shocked.

Is he the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor?

No, that's not right... Judging from the mediocre life I've led so far, even breaking through to the initial stage of martial arts was so difficult. I don't seem like the reincarnation of a peerless expert at all...

Did the system originate from the Heavenly Emperor?

The sudden realization before sinking seems to be the only reasonable explanation.

But... something still seems a little off.

Just as Shen Qian was frowning in thought, a long sigh suddenly came from behind him.

"who!"

Chen Qian felt his hair stand on end and suddenly turned around.
