Chapter 5128 The Truth?
These words instantly shattered the solemn and tragic atmosphere.
Luo Yunsheng and Luo Yunyou's prepared words of remembrance were all stuck in their throats, and their tears flowed even more fiercely.
How could this be a human emperor who would shake the world?
This is clearly the kind uncle next door who cares about his younger generation, or a benevolent ancestor.
"Ancestors..." Luo Yunsheng choked up, wanting to kowtow.
The remnant soul of the Human Emperor waved his hand, and a gentle force supported them: "Stop kowtowing, we don't do that among family. Our lineage has always been small, and I'm relieved to see that you are still here and the line hasn't died out."
He carefully examined the two sisters and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm, they haven't gone astray, they're much prettier than me. Looks like they took after their great-grandmother, otherwise they would have been doomed."
This self-deprecating joke made the two sisters burst into laughter through their tears, and the sense of distance between them instantly vanished.
Then, the Emperor turned his gaze to Su Bai.
His gaze shifted slightly, no longer showing the affection one would expect from a junior, but rather a scrutinizing look as if he were examining a fellow traveler.
"You're the kid who pushed open the door?"
The Emperor looked Su Bai up and down, his brows furrowing slightly, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied. "Your physique is alright, your foundation is solid. It's just... you're too fair-skinned, with delicate skin and tender flesh. You don't seem like the type to do manual labor. You still need to train!"
Upon hearing this, Su Bai was both amused and exasperated. He stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Junior Su Bai greets Senior Human Emperor. Junior indeed still needs more training."
"Hmm, not arrogant or impatient, his temperament is acceptable." The Emperor nodded, then glanced at Qian Duoduo hiding behind and Jiu Zhen with a serious expression.
"That young man with the sword has a good swordsmanship, somewhat resembling an old friend of mine." The Human Emperor pointed at Jiu Zhen.
Jiuzhen was flattered and immediately bowed.
"As for this chubby baby..." The Emperor looked at Qian Duoduo and grinned, "He's quite lucky, but a bit too cunning. But that's not necessarily a bad thing; in this world, those who lack common sense don't live long."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo immediately seized the opportunity, grinning and saying, "Grandpa, you have such discerning eyes! This is a sign of good fortune! A sign of good fortune!"
The Emperor smiled and shook his head, then his expression gradually turned somewhat melancholy and nostalgic.
He stood up, patted the dust off his bottom (although he was a remnant soul and had no dust), walked to the stone mill, and gently stroked it.
"So many years... I never thought I would see a living person again."
The Human Emperor sighed, his gaze piercing through the walls of the secret vault, as if he could see the shattered Boundary Sea outside, and that blood-red era that had been sealed away.
"The fact that you were able to get here means... it's still dark outside."
Su Bai's heart tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "Senior, the myriad realms are in turmoil, the Demon Kingdom is rampant, and the Upper Realm is eyeing us covetously. We have come here precisely to find the truth of what happened back then, and... the whereabouts of you, Senior."
"the truth?"
The Emperor's eyes instantly became weathered and profound, and his originally honest face gained an indescribable air of majesty and sorrow.
"The truth is... we were all fooled."
"Sit down. Since you're here, listen to this old man tell you his story from back then."
The crowd sat down around the Emperor, like children listening to an old man tell a story at the entrance of a village.
With a wave of Xuanyuan Cang's hand, the surrounding scenery instantly changed.
The farmhouses have disappeared, replaced by a vast, boundless, and star-studded ancient battlefield.
In the center of that battlefield stood three imposing and boundless figures side by side, their auras intertwined, crushing the heavens for eternity.
On the left is a man dressed in red, barefoot, walking in the air, holding a divine sword that exudes the aura of the primordial chaos.
Her hair was as red as fire, her face was stunningly beautiful, and her brows exuded a carefree and arrogant air that seemed detached from the world.
“That’s my junior sister, Jiang Hongyi, who is also the Sword Master you’re talking about.”
Xuan Yuancang's voice was filled with boundless pride, "She is my fellow disciple, and we have a mysterious master. The talent of the woman in red is unparalleled in my life, and the highest among the three of us. She has a lively personality and loves to drink, but her swordsmanship... is the best in all time! She is truly unmatched in offense; in the Tai Zhen Realm, no one can withstand a single strike from her sword!"
The man on the right was none other than Xuan Yuancang in his youth. His body was as imposing as a mountain, and his entire being was radiating a golden, immortal divine light. His feet were firmly planted on the ground, as if the sky would never fall as long as he stood there.
"I rule the mortal world, cultivating physical immortality and refining my will. I am not as sharp as my junior sister, nor as clever as my elder brother, but I can endure."
Standing in the middle was a man dressed in white, not in imperial robes, with a gentle and refined face and a faint smile. He did not exude any overwhelming pressure; in fact, his aura was somewhat ethereal and unpredictable, making him difficult to fathom.
"That is Haotian, our sworn brother, who later became the Heavenly Emperor."
Xuanyuan Cang's tone suddenly turned heavy. "He is the most mysterious one among us. No one knows his lineage, and no one has ever seen him exert his full strength. He is always strategizing and overseeing the overall situation. We all thought he was the most reliable elder brother, the brain of the Heavenly Court."
The scene shifts to the final "Battle to Conquer the Heavens".
The ancient Heavenly Court's massive army pressed in, heading straight for the upper realm's defenses.
Jiang Hongyi took the lead, unleashing countless sword energies with the Primordial Sword in her hand, forcefully tearing a huge gap in the seemingly indestructible upper realm barrier.
"Senior brother! Big brother! The road is open! Let's go up and drag that damned ancestral god down for a drink!"
In the picture, Jiang Hongyi is laughing heartily, full of heroic spirit, her red clothes fluttering like a burning flame.
Xuanyuan Cang, carrying two guardian puppets from the upper realm, called out in a simple and honest manner, "Red-clothed, be careful! Don't charge too recklessly!"
Haotian stood behind, smiling as he maintained the formation, seemingly protecting the two of them.
However, just as Jiang Hongyi had exhausted her old strength and had not yet generated new strength, and was completely unprepared to turn her back to her most trusted elder brother, preparing to cross the boundary.
Sudden changes occur.
Haotian, who had always been gentle and refined, suddenly turned his smile into a strange and cold one. In particular, a strange and terrifying black light appeared in his eyes, as if he had instantly become a different person, which was extremely frightening.
"Red Robe, I'll borrow your essence to help your brother... transcend."
A seemingly casual remark, yet it struck like a thunderclap.
Suddenly, an ancient-looking mirror appeared in Haotian's hand.
Haotian Mirror.
Wow!
The mirror flipped, and a jet-black beam of death, imbued with the curses and laws of destruction of the upper realm, shot out without warning!
"Pfft!"
That strike was too ruthless, too accurate, and too vicious!
The black death ray pierced Jiang Hongyi's heart in an instant, shattering her protective sword aura.
Jiang Hongyi lowered her head in disbelief, looking at the bloody hole in her chest, then turned her head with difficulty to look at the elder brother she usually respected.
There was no fear in her eyes, only endless confusion and heartbreak.
"Big...brother?"
"Haotian!!! Are you insane?!"
