A World Worth Protecting

1434 Chapter 1435, meet again (second update)

As he stepped into the statue, Wang Baole heard the sound of breathing in the familiar darkness.

It was as if there was a person in the depths of the darkness, slowly breathing, slowly feeling, and slowly paying attention to himself.

Wang Baole was silent. He looked towards the direction of the breathing in the darkness.

That place seemed to be very far away, but it also seemed to be very close.

The familiar ripples and the resonance of their bloodlines made the other party’s identity no longer a secret at that moment.

The darkness that separated them seemed to have been formed by some sort of sealing power. Wang Baole could see through it, but he couldn’t.

He stood there silently, staring at the gradually emerging in the darkness… the sixth memory image of the emperor.

In the image, the Imperial Emperor’s 100,000 divine will had transformed into 100,000 vast dao domains, and only one remained. The rest had succeeded, and as they did… the fruits returned, and were absorbed by the imperial emperor.., the imperial emperor’s injuries seemed to be improving.

Although he hadn’t fully recovered, he knew that his plan was correct. Therefore, he began to wait patiently… for the final strand of his soul to arrive.

However… the final remnant soul didn’t appear. The emperor gradually lost his patience. He began to panic. The reason for this was because, over the long years, he had been catalyzed by the wood tribulation, there had been some problems.

Wang Baole didn’t know what exactly the problems were. It was as if the memories had been deliberately erased.

Regardless, the appearance of the problem made the Empyrean lord weaker and weaker. It was at this moment that a rebellion began.

In the sky of the Origin Universe Dao, the former generals of the Empyrean Lord began to fight back. This might be the only chance for them to escape the control of the Empyrean Lord.

However, they had underestimated the Empyrean Lord..

Even though they had endured the wood calamity and even if something had happened to them, the power of the Empyrean Lord had allowed them to forcefully suppress the rebellion.

Amidst the suppression, the emperor who had appeared in front of the generals seemed to be different from what they remembered. His entire body was covered in black fog, and his methods had become extremely cruel.

In the images, Wang Baole saw a large number of mighty figures being suppressed by the emperor in a burial ground. An array formation had been set up, allowing them to endlessly contribute their life force while being immortal and indestructible.

They were like pieces of batteries..

The pained expressions on their faces every time their life force was extracted occupied most of the screen… at the same time, Wang Baole also saw part of the process of the seven emotions and six desires being suppressed.

He saw the lord of appetite choose to curse after surrendering. The sound of boiling in the huge cauldron was soul-stirring.

He also saw the lord of Appetite’s grief. For the sake of his disciple’s life, he chose to lower his head. The curse was placed on his body, causing him to howl in pain.

He had also seen the body of the overseer, and so on..

All of this appeared before Wang Baole’s eyes. The emperor in the picture was filled with brutality and madness. The Black Fog made Wang Baole fall silent.

In the end, after suppressing all the rebellions, the emperor used his last bit of strength to transform the Origin Universe Dao into a three-layered world.

The third level world was the burial ground. Other than the mighty figures who had been punished as batteries, there were also second-level experts who had been sleeping there for countless years.

These people were the subordinates of the war generals.

As for the second level world, the Imperial Emperor had bestowed upon it the laws of seven emotions and six desires. Those who chose to bow their heads would be placed there, and they would become the masters of desires.

After that, he circled the most complete Holy Land of the past, and it became the first world. He sealed the first world and the second world completely.

It was like a seal, but also like a barrier. The seven emotions, six desires, and cultivators of the second world were unable to set foot on the first world. At the same time, Xuan Chen, who was the most powerful expert second only to the imperial emperor, was suppressed by the Imperial Emperor, he became his guardian.

After doing all this, the supreme emperor chose to enter seclusion in the first level of the world.

From then on, as time passed, the legend of the gods slumbering continued to spread in the second level of the world..

The scene froze there.

Wang Baole watched all of this. He already knew almost everything about the Supreme Emperor’s memories in this life. He could more or less guess what happened after that.

In the burial grounds of the third level, the mighty figures who had been treated as batteries, even though they had possessed the characteristics of being immortal and indestructible countless years later, had still been unable to survive the absorption process, in the end… a desiccated state still appeared.

This was clearly related to the problem with the emperor. He needed a large amount of life force to sustain himself. This resulted in the batteries, one by one, not having the time to recover and gradually dying.

Less than one in ten of them still existed today.

Perhaps it has something to do with me… Wang Baole muttered to himself.

The Emperor hadn’t expected all of this to happen. Perhaps, according to his original plan, he had successfully retrieved all his divine thoughts before his subordinates rebelled. Perhaps, even if he rebelled.., he didn’t need to wait for his subordinates to die one after another. He had already completed his mission.

However, it was clear that the unexpected had caused the Empyrean lord to still be incomplete even to this day.

In Silence, Wang Baole heard the sound of breathing from afar. After a long while, Wang Baole suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and gently waved his hand at the memory image before him.

With that wave, the memory image shattered into countless shiny fragments. They spread out like butterflies and filled the entire pitch-black area, causing the pitch-black area to glow with light.

In the light, Wang Baole saw a huge staircase in the distance. At the top of the staircase, there was a starry sky.

The star map was unfamiliar, and it didn’t belong to this large universe.

At the bottom of the star map, at the end of the staircase, there was a huge chair. At that moment, a figure was sitting on the chair.

With one hand supporting his chin, he leaned against the chair, as if he was in a deep sleep… only the faint sounds of breathing could be heard faintly in the Quiet Palace Hall.

As the butterfly-like fragments flew across the area and illuminated it, Wang Baole raised his head. He finally saw the figure sitting on the chair. He was dressed in a long purple robe and had white hair, his eyes were closed, but his appearance, which was exactly the same as his own, made Wang Baole’s complicated feelings spread throughout his entire body.

The emperor and him were one entity. They were a new life formed after the fusion of a dead Almighty’s physical body and the strange black wood.

Wang Baole stared.

After a long while, a soft sigh reverberated throughout the hall. The figure sitting on the chair slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were pitch black!
