No matter how hard it tries, it gradually loses everything and eventually self-destructs, intending to severely damage you.
[But you foresaw this scene, activating mech mode and using your energy field to block the aftershocks of its spontaneous combustion.]
"Right now, I'm only a True King. It would take me three hours to kill even a low-level, third-tier Ye Xie Emperor."
You shake your head and sigh, and even if you manage to block its self-destruct attack without activating the second phase of your mech, you'll still be injured.
[Although you could choose not to block and simply escape.]
[However, this was a self-destruction at the sixth realm. The power of the self-destruction was enough to release energy at a speed exceeding three million miles per second, entering the shattered void, bypassing tens of millions of miles of earth and rock, and directly impacting the ground, accidentally injuring all living beings in the Qi Domain.]
They have all entrusted their fortunes to you, so of course you must protect them well.
Half a day later, you returned to the Qi Domain and announced the destruction of the Cross-Domain Evil Clan.
However, you paid a heavy price to deal with that evil emperor, and your life is nearing its end; you have less than twenty years left.
"I've already guessed what will happen next, what about you?"
[It was as if a bucket of chilling water, seeping deep into the soul, had been poured over the Qi Domain, instantly filling it with an atmosphere of sorrow.]
The people wept, and those kings who, after their victories, sought to instigate internal strife and division ceased their petty actions.
[Twenty years is nothing. For someone like you who suffered severe injuries while saving the Qi Domain, they'd be willing to wait a hundred more years.]
[This can also be seen as their respect for you, the first human emperor in ten thousand years!]
"321, 322..."
[You're excitedly exploiting their sympathy, getting closer and closer to achieving the Fifth Realm Perfection.]
"It should take about two years to reach perfection, and then condensing the Dao Seal won't take me much longer either."
After you tallied your spoils, you learned that Xiao Yelin was coming to see you.
[You communicate with him, telling him that because the Evil Emperor was already severely injured and in a deep sleep, he allowed you to succeed.]
[As for your decision to remain the Human Emperor in the Qi Domain for a while longer, and to collect fortune that offers no benefit to your strength, Xiao Yelin understands.]
Having made such a huge sacrifice, it's normal to enjoy over ten years of comfort and recharge.
[Year 3222.]
Because his life was nearing its end, the Cloud Emperor, who had always been averse to women, wanted to experience the wonders of the mortal world and its myriad wonders in the last ten years of his life.
The people of Qi are extremely tolerant of your small wish, you are a savior.
"I've been holding back for so long! Finally, I can have sex openly and legitimately!"
[Year 3225.]
[A large-scale battle involving hundreds of people has raised concerns: given your current physical condition, are you really capable?]
"Don't worry, I can handle it, hahaha..."
[In 3230, "fortune" didn't harm you, presumably because it assumed your existence wouldn't significantly impact Xiao Yelin's ascension to immortality, and that things could be adjusted later.]
"Is development hindered ahead? No problem, we can just endure a little more hardship later."
[You will pass away in 3231.]
[Throughout the seven billion miles of mountains and rivers of Qi, every household has prepared mourning clothes, ready to don white mourning attire the moment you ascend to heaven.]
At your bedside, seven people were present: some holding your hand, some fanning you, some peeling fruit, and some making voodoo dolls.
[I'm making a little doll of a beautiful woman; I'm going to burn it for you later.]
[Hundreds of feudal lords and rulers stood outside, shaking their heads and sighing, some weeping with their faces hidden, but it was unclear how many were genuine and how many were feigning sorrow.]
Only Xiao Yelin was suppressing a laugh.
Finally, as if in a final burst of energy, you rose to your feet and, supported by a group of Five Realms Kings, reached out your hand towards the sky.
"Please accept this; it's my final gift!"
A pillar of light shot into the sky, and all those within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles who were part of the Humanity System entered a state of enlightenment.
Those few kings were truly moved to tears. You touched the top of each of their heads with your aged, wrinkled hands, and finally smiled with relief before dissipating into a feather of light.
At this moment, the number of people genuinely weeping and grieving for you has tripled!
"So, originally it wouldn't have exceeded a quarter at most, right?"
Only Xiao Yelin felt a chill run down his spine, a thousand words echoing in his mind.
"This is... a condensed Dao Seal!?"
"Are these guys condensing Dao Seals?!"
"This is definitely condensing a Dao Seal!!!"
"Don't use so many exclamation marks, it makes you seem uncultured."
[You should know that the previous Human Emperor of the Cloud Domain died just one minute ago!]
When was the name changed?
No, the focus isn't on him, it's on the one before him.
The emperor before him, Qi, died ten thousand years ago!
That Qi emperor lived for 87,000 years before dying of old age!
[The details of how his descendants fought amongst themselves after his death, leading to the current situation, will be omitted for now.]
[The key point is that it has been 90,000 years since the last time a sixth-realm expert was born in the Cloud Domain, and since the last time a Dao Seal was formed!]
Therefore, neither these kings nor the feudal lords outside could realize the meaning of this strange phenomenon; they believed it was a gift you left behind on your deathbed.
Only Xiao Yelin, recalling your previous actions, felt a surge of "Holy crap!" in his mind.
"To unleash power comparable to the first level of the Heavenly Realm with a fifth-level cultivation, just how many times would one have to cultivate again—fifty times, a hundred times?—to acquire that kind of sacred body!?"
[He was unaware that the Holy Body had a 360-fold upper limit, and that others at the fifth realm could only reach a maximum of 180,000 Thorns... However, some powerful systems could reach 400,000 to 500,000 Thorns, and with some special functions, it could be comparable to one or two million Thorns.]
Xiao Yelin felt like a clown, especially after thinking about how the cultivation level of the Third Heaven was too high, making you feel inferior. The embarrassment was so intense that just recalling it made him want to dig his toes into the soles of his shoes and disappear into a hole.
"What did I say back then... I admired his self-sacrifice, but I was worried he wasn't strong enough..." Xiao Yelin felt his face turn bright red.
You have arrived in the sixth heaven zone, the void zone.
[After 150 years, you have finally advanced from the 25th Heaven to the 26th Heaven!]
[Foreseeable duration 25-26 hours, maximum number of times descent can be accumulated 13-14 times.]
[The maximum output of the essential reward and punishment is 101% → 110%, with an individual increase or decrease of 10% → 10%; the true essence increases by 12% → 13% annually.]
[150 years ago, your strongest combat power was 4.1e16 Thorns, capable of blasting open the Yuantian Realm barrier spanning tens of thousands of miles.]
[Now, it has reached 1.1e17 thorns!]
[It can penetrate the 1.7 million li (approximately 650,000 km) Yuantian boundary wall.]
The entire boundary wall is only one hundred million miles thick. I believe you will soon be able to break through this world barrier and face the cosmic membrane!
"In 150 years, we have become more than twice as strong... but 60 years of that time were wasted."
