Emperor Xiu lived to the age of fifty. He had raised Lingling to be a spirit and taught talisman formations to three students before choosing to leave this world.
The reason for the sudden end of the apocalypse and the origin of the eight pillars of light were, with his death, relegated to the category of unsolved mysteries of the world.
He left no name; in this world, he is Wang Hao.
...
Wang Hao is a controversial figure because his rebirth has led people to question whether he deserves the title of a hero of our time.
People are grateful to him for bringing cultivation techniques and body-refining skills from the future, and for reminding them of the arrival of the second red rain, which greatly improved humanity's survival capital and reduced the mortality rate. However, this gratitude has been diluted year by year.
They had never experienced the despair of being suddenly attacked by plants and animals in a base with nowhere to go, nor had they faced the despair brought by zombie hordes and zombie kings. After being scratched by zombies, they lacked the fear of zombie transformation. If they were rescued in time, they might even become superhumans...
It's just two emails and a single reminder, right? Doesn't that mean whoever gets reborn can become a hero? What's so great about him?
He was at best a messenger of information.
A more malicious assessment is that he is a despicable person who plagiarizes the future to achieve his own success.
There are also those who firmly believe in his contributions and that they are indelible. This group actually makes up the majority, but when the two sides engage in online arguments, this majority sometimes loses the argument to the group of trolls.
The main focus of the Emperor Cultivator is on missions. He uses his rebirth buff to cheat everywhere, leaving behind a bunch of bugs, and sometimes people don't even know how to maintain him.
What's most criticized is that after his rebirth, he traveled thousands of miles to find someone, just to castrate him. According to unreliable records, he even stole that person's spiritual spring space.
—There is no evidence either, but people believe he stole the Spirit Spring Space, but they do not believe that he was responsible for the eight pillars of light, even though the mysterious patterns left by the pillars of light look like an array.
As for the origins of the formations and talismans, they all come from the future.
The patented method for awakening superpowers also became one of the charges against him.
Why didn't you bring it out sooner? Why be so selfish? Are you happy to see ordinary people being suppressed by those with superpowers?
However, the truth is that for those who awaken their abilities through the special ability awakening method, the path of cultivation is less desirable than the path of body refinement. Those who failed to awaken their abilities in the two red rains shouldn't be expected to have particularly strong special abilities or cultivation talent.
Wang Hao's superpower remains unknown. No one believes he has no superpower, thinking that he is so strong that no one is worthy of him using his superpower. But despite his strength, he has never joined any base and has never fought alongside humanity.
Such cases are numerous and complex.
It's as if because he's reborn, whatever he brings out must come from the future, and he's just a transporter. He's hailed as a hero of the era, so he must be flawless, selfless, and radiant with divine light.
Emperor Xiu and 001 didn't care about what would happen after their deaths and left no backup plan. However, the Heavenly Dao was furious: "I invited this big shot with a wisp of world source power. How dare you slander him? Slandering him is questioning my judgment."
The Heavenly Dao rolled over and "accidentally" collided with the laws of time, "accidentally" dropping hundreds of tiny, invisible fragments.
It was lunchtime, and everyone was eating, chatting, and scrolling through their phones when suddenly someone started yelling and screaming, then ran away with their head in their hands. They were rushed to the hospital, admitted to the psychiatric ward, and then transferred to a mental hospital.
At the same time, a total of 999 mental patients appeared in China. Soon, this number increased by three, all of whom were extremely rare individuals with the ability to read minds.
These 999 people come from all over the country and are connected because they are all howling that humanity is going to perish. However, they are different; some are shouting about the zombie king, and some are shouting about natural disasters.
The Heavenly Dao chose some people who died relatively late and gave them memories of the previous timeline.
Most of them never crossed paths in their lives, but from their ravings, people finally glimpsed the true horrors of the apocalypse.
In a true apocalypse, there is no savior, no cultivation techniques, and no body-refining arts.
Humanity was initially defeated by the fear of the unknown. After the second red rain, it was defeated by various mutated plants and animals and zombies with an average level higher than humans, as well as endless infighting.
The Zombie King led his zombie army to victory, and the Radiant Base established by Simon Hui protected the last spark of humanity, but was defeated by a cataclysmic natural disaster.
The natural disaster that was supposed to occur in the seventh year of the apocalypse has yet to materialize.
—It's also possible that Japan took on this responsibility all by itself.
About half of the people who were driven to the mental hospital by their memories were once Ximen Hui's subordinates and harem members. Among them were also unlucky souls who were silenced for discovering the secret of Ximen Hui's spiritual spring space.
They painstakingly pieced together the truth that Simon Hui was also a reincarnated person, and also restored Wang Hao's past and present life, including his dark history of being a cuckold.
This is more exciting than any TV show, movie, or novel.
A past life witnessed by more than four hundred people.
As for cultivation techniques and body-refining skills, Ximen Hui's underlings and harem members knew nothing about them, let alone others.
Online, people started speculating about the origins of cultivation techniques and body-refining methods, and there were always endless flame wars.
As the official statement was being released, a video went viral and became a trending topic.
"...No matter where he obtained the cultivation techniques, body-refining skills, talismans, and formations, we should all be clear that Wang Hao has never owed any of us anything. With his abilities, he could easily live to the end, and he will live longer than any of us here."
He shared with us out of kindness, but I—no, you—can't take it for granted, okay? Did you share food, water, and shelter with others in the end times? You hold him to the standards of a saint, yet you hold yourselves to the standards of a scoundrel. Have you no shame?
That might sound harsh, but you guys are so kind, *sigh*
He was the strongest man of his time, yet he died young. I often reflect on why he never mentioned how the apocalypse ended. Was it because he knew no one would believe him, nor did he want anyone to believe him? Perhaps he paid a price to bring us to where we are today.
We all owe him a thank you. Thank you for being there.
