In the eyes of ancient beings, the Undying Emperor was the supreme god. The many ancient emperors of the Primordial Era were very strong, but if compared with the Undying Emperor, they should be slightly inferior.
With this mindset, the vast majority of them naturally hoped that the Heavenly Emperor's son would win, suppress the Holy Emperor's son, and recreate the invincible demeanor of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor.
Even the Fighting Saint Emperor is invincible in heaven and earth.
Only some clans that were close to the Holy Prince supported the monkey.
Even among neutral groups, many supported the Heavenly Emperor's son, because the Immortal Heavenly Emperor held an unparalleled and supreme position in the hearts of all ancient races.
Therefore, when they saw the Holy Prince gaining the upper hand, defeating the Heavenly Prince who had used all sorts of magical weapons with just a single immortal iron rod, the shock and astonishment in their hearts almost left them speechless.
Unlike the ancient creatures, the human cultivators found the Holy Prince, with just a monkey and a staff, to be a warrior who fought across the world without ever seeking anything from outside. This kind of temperament was more to their liking, and he had the demeanor of ancient emperors and great emperors in their youth.
In contrast, the Heavenly Prince, being high above, would only order his eight generals to deal with major enemies, never taking action himself. It was only by chance that the monkey seized the opportunity, forcing the Heavenly Prince to fight the monkey alone.
Moreover, during the battle, the Heavenly Emperor's son detonated too many magical artifacts to deplete the Holy Emperor's power and create more opportunities for victory. This was reasonable and there was nothing to criticize. However, to everyone else, for some reason, it seemed that he did not have the mindset of an invincible person. He did not seem to be determined to conquer all the heavens and earth, defeat all living beings in the universe, and reach the pinnacle by stepping on the bones of the geniuses of all races.
It's no wonder they think that way.
Because in the universe of "Covering the Sky", there can only be one Great Emperor in a lifetime. Everyone else is below the Great Emperor. Even those who achieve enlightenment through unconventional means, even those who have achieved a Great Perfection Holy Body and can be called Supreme, comparable to the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone, are still slightly inferior to the Great Emperor at his peak.
Therefore, many prodigies aim to become emperors, dominate the universe, and be invincible throughout history.
To achieve this goal, one must undoubtedly defeat all living beings; otherwise, how can one attain enlightenment? After the appearance of the Great Emperor, it will be impossible for any one to attain enlightenment for the next 20,000 years, which is unbearable for any proud and heroic individual.
Therefore, anyone who seeks to attain enlightenment becomes an enemy of all other beings in the universe, an enemy of the entire cosmos.
In the universe of "Covering the Sky," one cannot attain enlightenment without decisively defeating all enemies.
This is different from other universes.
Because those universes, at their highest levels, can allow multiple universes to exist, unlike the [Covering the Sky] universe, where the number is strictly limited.
Since ancient times, emperors and sovereigns have never met each other.
From a more neutral standpoint, the human cultivators admired the Holy Prince, but were not particularly fond of the Heavenly Prince.
Even if the Immortal Emperor is incredibly powerful, it has absolutely nothing to do with the human race.
The ancient emperors of the human race were also beings of the highest order.
Furthermore, the Holy Prince held a philosophy of harmonious coexistence towards the human race. The universe has given birth to billions of races, and it is normal for them to fight and kill each other. Survival of the fittest is the only way to go. There is really no need to exterminate them.
The Heavenly Emperor's son, however, was different. He was extremely hostile to the human race, had a mentality of exterminating them, and regarded the human race as ants. His arrogance displeased the other cultivators, who also harbored hostility towards him.
"Go, Holy Prince! Beat down that arrogant Heavenly Prince and stop this dog from being so cocky!" a human cultivator shouted.
However, this enraged many ancient creatures, whose eyes gleamed with murderous intent as they searched for the speaker.
"Such an insult to the Son of God is unforgivable!"
Even the ancient royal family was dissatisfied; the offspring of gods, no matter what, must be respected.
Such words from a human cultivator are extremely rude and ill-mannered, behaving like those of an unintelligent animal.
"After the myriad races of our ancient times vanished, the human race has dominated this land for far too long, and has forgotten that we are the true masters of this land. The human race? They are nothing but petty thieves picking up scraps." A being from an ancient royal family uttered a mocking voice, regarding the human race as thieves.
"Ancient races? How many ancient emperors are there? My human race alone has dozens of ancient emperors. Under heaven, which race can compare? What ancient royal families? In front of my human race, they are all trash." A cultivator from the Desolate Ancient Holy Land retorted, completely without any politeness.
Everyone knows that after the revival of the ancient races, the human race occupied too many famous mountains and rivers, almost monopolizing cultivation resources. If the ancient races wanted to cultivate, they could not just sit and wait for their resources to run out. They had to seize spiritual mountains and blessed lands. In this way, they inevitably clashed with human sects and ancient kingdoms. The two sides were truly at odds.
Otherwise, how could the grand gathering of all races be held?
Isn't it precisely to agree on the territories of each party?
From this standpoint, most human cultivators share a consistent attitude: they are willing to temporarily set aside past grievances and join forces to deal with the ancient beings, thus securing greater living space for the human race.
Of course, it cannot be denied that there will always be traitors who betray their race. Some major human sects and families have secretly sided with the ancient races, providing intelligence and becoming traitors.
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare! You ignorant fool, how dare you insult my ancient royal family? Do you want to die?" The beings of the ancient royal family were furious.
For them, being born into royalty, having a lineage with an ancient emperor, unifying the universe, and being revered by all races is the greatest pride they can bear, and they will never allow anyone to desecrate it.
"You want me to say it? I'm not going to say it." The cultivators from the Desolate Ancient Holy Land were not afraid at all.
This ancient holy land is the legacy of the Great Emperor and has the power to suppress it with supreme imperial weapons. Why should it fear the ancient royal family?
People without backbone are ultimately a minority.
"You bastard!"
The two sides glared at each other, their tempers flaring, their confrontation fierce, as if a single disagreement would lead to a full-blown fight, opening a third battlefield in addition to the two existing ones.
Of course, before the grand gathering of all races was held, the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda in Yaochi shone brightly, and the ancient beings could feel the terror of the supreme imperial weapon.
So although there was a standoff, both sides were very restrained and did not actually start fighting.
Hearing those conversations, the ancient princes, including Huo Qizi, Huo Lin'er, and Huang Xudao, all frowned.
The Golden Princess and Yuan Gu had even more grim faces, their eyes surging with chilling killing intent.
If the occasion hadn't been so inappropriate, they probably would have gone on a killing spree, leaving rivers of blood and corpses strewn across the fields.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, Ji Haoyue, and others responded calmly, seemingly unperturbed, yet exuding a restrained pride.
If we truly compare the number of those who have reached the highest level, even the combined numbers of the ancient royal families would only be comparable to those of the human race.
Since the beginning of time, the human race has been the most powerful race in history, without exception!
On the other hand, the people engaged in the great battle were unaffected by this dialogue.
After scrutinizing the prince for a while, Duan De muttered to himself:
"Damn, so much good stuff, we should really loot it..."
Suddenly, Duan De sighed and said:
"Alas, I know where the Immortal Emperor's tomb is, but I dare not go in. Otherwise, I would have gone to visit it."
Ye Fan and Hei Huang scoffed. How could they not know what was going on with this fatso's sightseeing?
Grave robbing is just grave robbing, why make it sound so noble?
"You two don't understand. Alas, life is as lonely as snow, and true friends are hard to find," Duan De sighed, his face full of sorrow.
Ye Fan and Hei Huang were both speechless.
