Cao Ya knew that the human realm was once the home of the seeds, and the martial artists in the human realm cultivated the power that the seeds exhaled. The stronger they cultivated, the more seed power they absorbed.
In other words, human martial artists are almost like clones of the seed.
Without a doubt, once human martial artists are extinct, and even humanity itself is wiped out, the true form of that seed, which is hidden somewhere, will surely be alerted and appear in the human world.
Seeds are not very intelligent and mostly follow rules. Such a big commotion will definitely attract the seeds out.
The appearance of the seed's true form is an immense opportunity for all the emperors, the greatest chance in history. If they can capture the seed's true form and refine it, they will have the potential to transcend, completely break free from the shackles of the Three Realms, roam freely in the universe, and traverse the void beyond the realms.
As for how many people will die in order to bring out the true form of the seed... ha, who cares?
What the emperors cared about was whether the true form of the seed would appear after the devastation of the mortal realm, and if it did, whether they could seize it and refine it.
Whether the human world is wiped out or not, whether humanity is extinct or not, frankly, they don't care at all; they regard them as ants.
The emperors didn't care, but Cao Ya cared, cared a lot! Fang Ping, Zhang Tao, Zhen Tianwang, Wang Jinyang, Li Hansong, Yao Chengjun, and the others cared just the same, very much!
This is the contradiction between life and death, the conflict between attaining enlightenment and not attaining it; it is irreconcilable and cannot be quelled.
Unless the emperors abandon the idea of drawing out the true form of the seed, the conflict between the two sides is irreconcilable.
Humans will never admit defeat! They will never admit defeat! And they will never willingly become pawns.
"The plans of the emperors are not something you can simply refuse to do just because you say you don't want to," the Northern Emperor sneered, looking at Fang Ping and then at Cao Ya.
At this moment, Fang Ping's power was roughly on par with his original body, at around 80-90 million calories, nearly 100 million. However, Cao Ya's power was beyond his reach.
However, the Northern Emperor was well aware that the plan to bring out the true form of the seed was jointly promoted by all the emperors. Not only him, but also the Western Emperor, Southern Emperor, Beast Emperor and others of the same level, as well as the Human Emperor, Eastern Emperor, God Emperor, Fighting Emperor and the strongest Heavenly Emperor with combat power of over 100 million cards, all intervened in this plan.
Even if Cao Ya is very powerful, can he be more powerful than the Heavenly Emperor?
The other two powerful figures, Yang Shen and Zhan Tiandi, have either gone into hiding or died. Cao Ya, being tactless, will likely suffer the same fate as Zhan Tiandi. Fang Ping and Zhen Tianwang, like Mie Tiandi and Ba Tiandi, will perish in the siege of the emperors.
"All mortals deserve to die! This is the decision of all the emperors. Under heaven, within the three realms, who can resist? Who dares to resist?" the Beast Emperor sneered, his voice filled with intense bloodlust.
"If you resist... hehe, we couldn't be happier! The Extinction and Overlords are your examples. Even after they die, their corpses will help us fill the loopholes and suppress the forbidden sea in the world where the loopholes are exposed." The Southern Emperor sneered.
The Divine Emperor, the Eastern Emperor, and the Fighting Emperor stood with their hands behind their backs, not speaking, but seemingly sharing the same attitude.
They were willing to sacrifice many lives to bring out the true form of the seed!
Anyone who dares to stop them will be their greatest enemy!
Only the Western Emperor's eyes flashed, but he remained silent.
Then there was the Spirit Emperor, whose expression was aloof, and who also remained silent. At her feet, a large, fat cat, as big as a pig, circled, meowing, meowing. It was the second projection of the Azure Cat, and to distinguish it, it was called the Third Cat.
The two projections of the Azure Cat in the Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm followed the War Emperor and the Spirit Emperor respectively.
As for the Azure Cat itself, it followed Fang Ping.
“Heavenly Emperor, Fighting Heavenly Emperor, God Emperor, Eastern Emperor, Southern Emperor, Northern Emperor, Beast Emperor, oh right, there’s also Human Emperor, and Earth Emperor.” Cao Ya’s eyes were icy cold.
Of course, he didn't have much killing intent towards the two Western Emperors and the Spirit Emperor who were unwilling to kill humans.
He also knew that the two emperors had not done anything that was morally reprehensible, and it seemed that they still cared about their human identity.
The same applies if we analyze it according to the original timeline.
The Nine Sovereigns and Four Emperors, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Yang God—these peak powerhouses, except for the Beast Emperor who belongs to the demon beast lineage, are all of human origin.
However, times have changed. These emperors who once made great contributions to humanity, who deserve to be commemorated and praised for all time, have become selfish and self-serving. For their own selfish interests, they are willing to slaughter the three realms and wipe out the world, even if it means the three realms are reduced to nothingness.
Cao Ya's attitude towards these beasts could be summed up in one word—"Kill!"
"A bunch of beasts!" Cao Ya attacked fiercely, his sword energy sharp and fierce, cleaving through the void, his extreme aura flowing and suppressing the universe.
"The human race has indeed become a formidable force. A moment of carelessness has led to a grave mistake," the God Emperor sighed, then suddenly smiled and said, "However, the stronger the human race is, the more interesting the future will be."
"There are too many variables. Who knows what the future holds? Among us emperors, who will die and who will win?" the Eastern Emperor murmured.
"Haha! This is more interesting. A future that remains unchanged, a stagnant pool, would be too boring." Emperor Doutian laughed heartily.
The three of them seemed completely unconcerned about the life or death of the projection, appearing quite nonchalant.
The Southern Emperor, the Beast Emperor, and the Northern Emperor, on the other hand, had gloomy expressions and were quite displeased.
"Damn Cao Ya!" The three emperors gritted their teeth, their faces showing a sinister look.
However, with Cao Ya's combat power exceeding 200 million calories, the emperors knew they were doomed and had no intention of resisting. Of course, they also didn't want to die at Cao Ya's hands and add to his fame. In the end, they chose to self-destruct, their divine power becoming chaotic and nearly destroying the Void Realm.
Cao Ya used his power to wipe out the remnants of several emperors' self-destruction, thus saving the Void Realm.
At this point, among the projections of the emperors, only the Western Emperor and the Spirit Emperor, whom Cao Ya had not targeted, remained in the world.
The heroes stood on the broken and shattered ground, gazing up at the sky, when two figures came into view, their auras overwhelming and dominating the world.
"Cao Ya... Fang Ping..." they whispered to themselves, filled with dread.
At the same time, they were also very frustrated.
Because both Cao Ya and Fang Ping had cultivated for far less time than them, yet their strength was over 200 million calories and nearly 100 million calories respectively, making them among the best even among the emperors.
But they haven't even broken through to the ninth level of the Pseudo-Emperor realm yet, and they're still far from the true Emperor realm of fifty million calories.
How could such a stark difference not make them feel disheartened and disappointed?
Whew... Don't be too discouraged. If Cao Ya and Fang Ping can become emperors, why can't I? I'm no worse than anyone else!
The heroes breathed a sigh of relief, quickly suppressing their feelings of dejection. If things continued this way, they feared they would lose their will to strive and improve, and at that point, they would have no hope of becoming emperors, becoming mere pawns with no chance of turning the tide.
That was something they absolutely did not want to see.
Cao Ya and Fang Ping were able to transform from chess pieces into chess players and masters of the game. If they could do it, why can't we? As long as we become emperors…
Emperor Cheng...
The group quickly regained their spirits after a moment's thought.
Because they saw hope for resistance in Cao Ya and Fang Ping.
In particular, Cao Ya, the "Dao Ancestor," possesses unparalleled combat power, overlooking the Three Realms. When the Heavenly Emperor does not appear and the Yang God does not manifest, who can rival him?
Those were truly people who had completely taken control of their own destiny!
