Chapter 1520 The Great Void’s Origin
The White Emperor laughed heartily. Then, he said, “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. This child has great foresight and insight. He has a unique understanding about the pursuit of life. Although everyone yearns to join the Great Void, I’m afraid he’s not the same.” The Great Void Emperor shook his head slightly. “White Emperor, if you want to return to the Great Void, I naturally won’t say anything for old time’s sake. There’s no need for you to make up a person who doesn’t exist to deceive me.”
The White Emperor replied, “You need to learn how to trust others. Only then will the ten halls obediently follow the Sacred Temple.”
Upon hearing this, the Great Void Emperor frowned for a moment. When his frown eased, he asked with a sigh, “Am I wrong for trying to maintain the balance of the world?”
“Yes.”
“The Pillars of Destruction are the foundation of the world. You meddled in affairs regarding them, do you think I shouldn’t ask about it?”
“Of course, you should.”
“Then, tell me why.” The Great Void Emperor’s voice suddenly turned cold.
The White Emperor said, “You’re back to this question again. My answer is still the same: someone told me to do it.”
The White Emperor knew the Great Void Emperor would not leave easily without a satisfying answer. He sighed and said, “If I want to return to the Great Void, I’d look for you directly. There’s no need for me to beat around the bush. Although the Great Void is a paradise that everyone yearns for, it’s not something I like or yearn for. The sky here is blue, and the water is clear. People live and work in peace here. It’s not worse than the Great Void.”
The Great Void Emperor looked around his surroundings. The place here was very different from the past. It was exquisite, elegant, and peaceful. The surface of the sea was relatively calm, and there were not many powerful fierce beasts within a radius of 1,000 miles.
When the Great Void Emperor saw a few strange circles on the surface of the sea, he asked, “Did he repair the ancient formation on the lost island?”
“Not bad, right?” the White Emperor said. At this point, the Great Void Emperor began to believe that the White Emperor did not make up the young genius. Ancient formations that existed since the birth of heaven and earth were very complicated and difficult to understand.
“Are you really not going to let me meet him?” the Great Void Emperor asked.
“I’m sorry,” the White Emperor said as he gestured for the Great Void Emperor to leave, “Please.”
The Great Void Emperor looked around him and did not see anyone. Finally, he said, “Forget it.”
“Farewell, Your Majesty,” the White Emperor said with a smile. He was very firm with his stance.
The Great Void Emperor turned around. He did not look back as he said in a stern voice, “Keep you people in line.” Buzz!
The space seemed to be torn apart before the Great Void Emperor vanished into thin air.
The White Emperor looked at the empty. After a long time, he finally said, “You’ve been listening for so long. Come out.”
With this, a man dressed in fine clothes wearing a dark red mask walked out from behind a huge rock on the island. With a light tap, he flew next to the White Emperor and looked at the sky.
The two stood side by side.
The man asked, “The Great Void Emperor wants to recruit me?”
The White Emperor glanced at him and smiled. “Are you tempted?”
“I’m indeed tempted,” the young man replied. “???”
“However, since you saved me. How can I betray you so easily?” The White Emperor sighed as he looked into the distance and said, “There’s nothing here for you. Your talent is unprecedented. If you stay on the Lost Island, your talents will only be buried here. Perhaps, the Great Void Emperor is right. The Great Void is where you can display your talent and put it to good use.”
A trace of surprise flashed in the young man’s eyes upon hearing these words. He did not expect the White Emperor to say such words. After a moment, he asked, “What’s the name of the Great Void Emperor?”
“His original name is Ming Xin. He replaced the original Great Emperor and became the leader of the Five Emperors,” the White Emperor said. “Replaced?”

“A long, long time ago, there was another emperor high above the Five Emperors. He was born along with the heavens and earth, but later, he disappeared,” the White Emperor said, “After that, the ten halls of the Great Void were born. The ten masters of the halls appeared and ruled over the world, maintaining the balance. Ming Xin progressed rapidly and his understanding of the Dao and the laws was very good. After the land split, Ming Xin founded the Sacred Temple and ruled over the ten halls and the balance of heaven and earth.”
The young man nodded. “I see. Then, the ten halls had no objections at that time?”
“Ming Xin understands laws from the Great Dao and holds the Scales of Justice. He’s the only one closest to breaking the shackles,” the White Emperor said.
The young man shook his head and said, “I don’t think he’s that powerful.”
“Oh?” The White Emperor smiled. He really liked hearing the young scholar next to him talk about things.
The young man continued to say, “All humans are restricted by the shackles of heaven and earth. From ancient times until now, all cultivators have been trying to break the shackles. The essence of cultivation is to become stronger and increase one’s lifespan. However, I’ve read through tens of thousands of books on Lost Island, and not one of the almighty experts or divine beasts managed to break the shackles. Emperor Ming Xi took advantage of favorable situations and rose to the peak. However, I think his vision is not very broad…”
The White Emperor laughed and said, “Continue.”
The young man said, “When did the Pillars of Destruction appear? Why did they appear? Ancient records said that after the land split, giving birth to the nine domains, ten pillars appeared to support the Great Void. Strangely, not one person had witnessed those scenes of the pillars emerging. Did the ten pillars appear out of thin air? Obviously not. The Great Void spent many years investigating the reason for the pillars’ appearance, but they couldn’t find anything. As the leader of the Five Emperors, Ming Xin wants to maintain the balance and dominate the world. More than anyone else, he should have paid more attention to this matter.”
The White Emperor nodded and asked, “In your opinion, how did the Pillars of Destruction come into being?”
The young man replied, “I once carefully drew the complete map of the Great Void and the nine domains. At that time, I made a shocking discovery.”
The White Emperor’s eyes lit up immediately. “Continue.”
“The nine domains are connected to the Unknown Land. Not one of the domains can be missing. If even one domain collapses, the world will lose its balance and become unstable. Only the loss of the Great Void… would not cause any harm to the world,” the young man said.
“What do you mean?”
“The sky can collapse without any consequences to the world,” the young man said.
The White Emperor said, “Everyone says the Great Void in the sky can’t collapse. Otherwise, the world will collapse and countless lives will be lost.”
The young man scoffed and shook his head. “I have another shocking discovery.”
“Please speak.” The White Emperor truly found the young man likable and could not help but use the word ‘please’. In fact, with his status, there was no need for him to do this.
The young man said, “A long, long time ago, Mount Halcyon was once the Great Void, and the Lost Island was also once the Great Void.”
The White Emperor was stunned. He looked at the Lost Island where he had lived for many years before he shifted his gaze to his surroundings.
The young man could tell the White Emperor did not believe him, hence, he continued to say, “I’ve been to Mount Halcyon before. There were ten bottomless holes there. The Lost Island has five islands, and each island has two bottomless holes. Previously, when both of us went to the Pillar of Destruction to look at its external and internal structure. I coincidentally discovered that their structures were similar to the pillar.”
