Chapter 182 Let's Be the Heavenly Emperor
Before chaos was divided, in that primordial state where "existence" and "non-existence" were blurred and uncertain, boundless chaotic energy, like a sleeping behemoth, slowly surged in absolute silence.
After countless years, three innate treasures appeared, followed by the birth of primordial gods. They fought and killed each other for those three treasures, and as they struggled, the ancient stars and the nine primordial realms slowly evolved, eventually giving rise to the prototype of the myriad worlds.
The primordial gods fought for tens of millions of years. In the end, the primordial god named Yuqing defeated the other gods, established the Heavenly Court, became the ruler of all gods, and called himself the Heavenly Emperor.
Since then, countless years have passed, and from that chaotic mist that gave birth to the entire primordial universe and the gods, a nine-colored bead appeared. This bead is the Primordial Bead, which appeared along with the other three great innate treasures, but remained undiscovered until it slowly awakened its consciousness and revealed itself from its hidden state.
At first, the Primordial Pearl was completely bewildered, gazing at the stars of all sizes in the cold void, its bewildered gaze sweeping over the myriad realms. After an unknown amount of time, the Primordial Pearl became curious about things it didn't understand and began to move its position.
This bead wandered among the ancient stars and the myriad realms, even entering the River of Time, where it drifted with the current.
The Heavenly Emperor sensed this unclaimed treasure. As the Heavenly Emperor, He instinctively believed that the Primordial Pearl belonged to Him. However, the Primordial Pearl refused to become anyone's magic weapon. With only the mind of a child, the Primordial Pearl frantically tried to escape, not wanting to be caught, but the Heavenly Emperor relentlessly pursued it.
After fleeing for hundreds of thousands of years, the Primordial Pearl still fell into the hands of the Heavenly Emperor. However, the Heavenly Emperor could not make it submit, so he threw the ungrateful pearl into the Qiankun Furnace and refined it day and night with the Emperor's Flame.
The Primordial Pearl was refined for millions of years. After millions of years, while the Heavenly Emperor was fighting against the Demon Clan, it broke open the Qiankun Furnace, burned down most of the Heavenly Court, and escaped.
The Heavenly Emperor was enraged and unleashed his great divine power, seizing the Primordial Pearl once more. In his fury, he cleaved the pearl's spirit in two. However, the Heavenly Emperor still failed to obtain the Primordial Pearl. One half of the spirit fell to the Demon Realm and went into hiding, while the other half spent countless years in hiding in the lower realms before finally being reborn in a small world.
The true form of the Primordial Pearl fell into a rift in time, and no one could discover it.
The half of the spirit that was reincarnated in the small world became a baby girl after birth. Her parents were a pair of Nascent Soul cultivators, and she was named Han Wei.
After embarking on her cultivation journey, Han Wei progressed from the Qi Refining stage to the Void Refining stage. By a twist of fate, she married the reincarnated Heavenly Emperor, who was undergoing tribulation. However, because the reincarnated Heavenly Emperor was a mortal without spiritual roots, Han Wei abandoned him and continued to pursue her own path.
Ten thousand years later, Han Wei, who had cultivated to the Tribulation Transcending stage, ascended to immortality, but perished due to the Tribulation of her inner demons. At the moment of her fall, the Primordial Pearl, hidden in the time rift, sensed the crisis of half of its soul and instinctively rushed towards her, merging with her primordial spirit and reversing time, thus turning back the clock.
I remember now, I remember now.
Han Wei remembered everything.
She is the Primordial Pearl, half of its spirit and half of its soul.
The moment Han Wei remembered who she was, her cultivation level surged, or rather, she regained her original cultivation level, and suddenly she exuded the aura of an Immortal Emperor.
The girl in black looked at her and exclaimed excitedly, "You remember now! You finally remembered!"
She rushed over and hugged Han Wei, hugging another version of herself, rubbing against her for a moment before letting go. She said, "You smell like something bad. What did he do to you? Did that bad thing torment you?"
Han Wei looked at her other half with mixed feelings.
The girl in black said angrily, "He must have tortured you. Let's merge! Let's merge and kill him, kill that evil thing, and become the Heavenly Emperor. All the heavens and myriad realms will belong to us in the future."
Han Wei was in turmoil. So this was the truth behind her rebirth. Did the Heavenly Emperor of her past life know that she was half the spirit of the Primordial Pearl? After his tribulation and reincarnation, he never sought her out. Did he hate her, or was it for some other reason?
As for this life, she absolutely refused to believe he didn't know. So, was his concern and indulgence towards her genuine, or was he simply trying to win her over and soften her?
What exactly is she in his eyes?
Is it his wife? Or the treasure he is determined to possess?
“My other self, why aren’t you saying anything? Let’s merge, okay? Let’s merge and kill the bad things.” The girl in black held Han Wei’s hand, her eyes sparkling.
Han Wei said softly, "Merge?"
“I have been cultivating in the Demon Realm for many years and have eaten a lot of things. As long as we combine, we will definitely be able to defeat that evil thing. That evil thing is a tyrant. We did nothing, but he chased and beat us, threw us into his furnace to refine us, and even cut us in two with a single sword.”
"He's utterly wicked! This wicked thing doesn't deserve to be the Heavenly Emperor. Let's become the Heavenly Emperor! Let's merge! Let's merge!" The girl in black became more and more excited as she spoke.
With mixed feelings, Han Wei asked her, "After we merge, will I still be Han Wei?" She took a step back, instinctively resisting the idea of merging.
"What do you mean by 'the other me'? We were originally one, it was something evil that separated us." The girl in black looked at Han Wei in confusion, not understanding why her other half refused to merge.
"What did that bad thing do to you? Did it control your mind? Did it damage your brain? It's okay, after we merge, your brain will be fine." The girl in black stepped forward again and grabbed Han Wei.
When their hands touched, they emitted a nine-colored light. Han Wei discovered that her hands and the black-clad girl's hands seemed to merge like water; they were about to become one.
No!
Han Wei instinctively resisted; she broke free from the girl in black and flew backward several meters away.
"Wait, I can't accept merging now. Let me think about it," Han Wei said, looking at the girl in black.
The girl in black said, "What are you still thinking about? The bad thing will catch up soon. We don't have time to think. If we don't combine, we can't beat him. Then, we'll both be caught, and he'll definitely throw us back into the furnace. Maybe this time he'll just make us disappear completely."
They are the souls of the Primordial Pearl, but even if the spirit is gone, it will be reborn after countless ages. If the spirit cannot be tamed, then simply eliminating it and waiting for a new spirit to be born is also a good option.
