"After my disciple resurrected Lei Zun, he told me that on that day, he was in a daze, his mental energy was unstable, and he fell into an indescribable madness. He had no idea where he went or what he did."
"Even when my disciple died at my hands during his enlightenment, he had no recollection of it at all."
"It wasn't until he died once that Lei Zun was able to break free from the past, truly become clear-headed, and realize that everything was caused by your treachery, Master."
"To prove the truth of his words, even though he had been resurrected by me and I was willing to let him go without pursuing any sins, Lei Zun still chose to commit suicide."
"Because he knew that if he didn't do this, if he didn't prove his innocence with his death, I definitely wouldn't believe him. I would only think that he was lying and trying to sow discord between us, master and disciple."
"In fact, after Lei Zun committed suicide, I only had some doubts and did not really believe what he said."
"But the idea that a beginner martial artist must prove their breakthrough to the eighth level through death has lingered in my mind for a long time. Afterwards, I secretly investigated and spent tens of thousands of years, but finally uncovered some of the truths of the ancient era."
"Only then did I realize that what Lei Zun said was actually true."
The Emperor's expression grew increasingly bitter.
The Heavenly Emperor stared blankly at the Spirit Emperor, his expression cold.
"Hiss~~ That old bastard, the Heavenly Emperor, is actually so insidious?" Fang Ping muttered.
"What do you think? These old bastards are all ruthless and vicious, each one more cunning and wicked than the last," Zhang Tao scoffed.
"Huh? Zhang Tao, what did you say?" Zhen Tianwang was speechless.
“Old Town, I wasn’t talking about you, so don’t take it personally. As for me, I don’t feel like King Wu was talking about me at all,” the Divine Forging Envoy laughed.
“…” Zhang Tao.
"However, after ten thousand years of investigation, the truth was finally revealed. That must have been twenty thousand years ago. Why did the Spirit Emperor pretend nothing had happened after knowing everything, and continue to obey the Heavenly Emperor, willingly becoming his loyal lackey?" Yao Chengjun asked, puzzled.
"Perhaps, she was plotting to harm the Heavenly Emperor? Or perhaps she wanted to find out the Heavenly Emperor's trump cards so she could deliver a fatal blow?" Shuxiang speculated.
"It's impossible that the Spirit Emperor will treat Lei Zun the same way he did when he didn't know the truth, and forgive and forget all the past grievances, right? If that's the case, I can only say that the Spirit Emperor is truly amazing!" Fang Ping stroked his chin.
"Liar, don't belittle the fat woman, she has a very hard life." The gray cat flicked its tail and patted Fang Ping.
"Fat Spirit, tens of thousands of years have passed, and I still haven't discovered the torment deep in your heart... I, as your admirer, am so incompetent!" Shi Po sighed to the sky.
"Simp!" Li Hansong said disdainfully.
"Woof! What are you saying?" the tengu roared, baring its teeth.
Above, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly gave a cold laugh and said:
"What's the point of saying all this now? Ling, you're still so naive and foolish!"
"Now that you know the truth, you should have broken free from my control at least 20,000 years ago and sided with Yang Shen, or with Qiong or Dou, or even with Zhan and the others through your connection with Cang Mao."
"If you continue to be my dog, your soul must have suffered endless torment for the past twenty or thirty thousand years, right?"
"Ling, you really have great patience. I'm starting to look at you in a new light."
The Heavenly Emperor spoke in a sarcastic tone, his eyes filled with icy coldness.
Upon hearing this, the Spirit Emperor smiled, a radiant smile, and said:
"Master, you don't know how terrifying a heartbroken woman or a desperate woman can be!"
"Thirty thousand years of unwavering loyalty, thirty thousand years of devoted service, thirty thousand years of love—Master, you finally believed me!"
The Spirit Emperor smiled brightly, but the Heavenly Emperor's heart sank upon hearing this.
"Damn it, you say 'loyalty' is fine, but adding 'lackey' means what? Does that mean you look down on us dogs?" Tengu said indignantly.
“Big Dog, this is a compliment,” Cangmao said earnestly.
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle.
The tengu barked and glared angrily at the creatures.
“Master, I know why you are so confident. Even though the Yang God’s combat power exceeded 200 million calories, Cao Ya Daozu later created a new martial arts path and his combat power also exceeded 200 million calories, allowing him to stand shoulder to shoulder with you. Now, with the help of the four emperors of the Earth Emperor family, Fang Ping has also broken through the 200 million calorie combat power. The three of them, the God Emperor, the Fighting Heaven Emperor, and the Eastern Emperor, have also broken through the 200 million calorie combat power.”
“Even though the four beings who seem to be able to stand on equal footing with you are hostile to you, Master, you still look very calm, without the slightest tension or worry.”
"I know why!"
"Because you, Master, are truly a chosen one of heaven, a child of destiny!"
Emperor Ling sighed deeply, as if filled with endless emotions.
However, upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor's expression changed drastically. With a crash, he broke the white jade sword in his hand and reached out to kill the Spirit Emperor with a single palm strike.
"What's the rush? Let the Spirit Emperor finish speaking." Cao Yalang laughed, already prepared, and threw a punch to stop the Heavenly Emperor.
At the same time, he intercepted a wisp of the Spirit Emperor's spiritual power.
The Spirit Emperor seemed to sense something, only slightly turning his head to look at Cao Ya, without saying a word, his face pale and his breath beginning to weaken.
The shattering of the Dao Fruit caused her considerable trauma.
She is still alive, but only by the strength of the Emperor's Path.
"Master, you are the chosen one, the first guardian of the Seed, and the spokesperson for the Seed! I know that you and the Seed have conspired to destroy the Three Realms, exterminate all living beings, reclaim all energy, allow the Seed to recreate the world, sever the martial arts, and make you the sole supreme ruler of the universe. To show your support, the Seed has even established a connection with you, providing you with unlimited support, even resurrecting you after death. So, even if your enemies are strong, you have nothing to worry about, because even if they can kill you once or ten times, they can never kill you a hundred or a thousand times!"
The Spirit Emperor spoke in a cold, clear voice, showing no concern whatsoever for his own death.
She didn't care at all even when Cao Ya intercepted her spiritual power.
Because her sole purpose in life has been fulfilled!
“Master, the journey to the Yellow Springs is too lonely. With you by my side, I am not alone.” The Spirit Emperor smiled brightly.
A semi-transparent, milky-white thread appeared on her physical body, one end connected to the Spirit Emperor's body, while the other end disappeared into the depths of nothingness, its destination unknown.
After listening to this, everyone understood that the other end must be connected to the seed.
"Master, thank you for saving me. After 30,000 years, I finally won the gamble." The Spirit Emperor said softly, her slender white hand slapping down like a sharp sword, slashing at the white thread.
"You bastard! You're courting death!" The Heavenly Emperor roared in fury, slashing down with his sword without even paying attention to Cao Ya, who was entangled beside him. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was determined to kill the Spirit Emperor!
