Chapter 721 Taiyin and Taishan: A Dreamlike Illusion
"interesting."

The Taiyin Emperor, whose identity as a celestial being or a demon and whose origins were unknown, looked down at Su Che.

The figure before him overlapped with many people in his memory.

Such a keen mind, to be able to perceive the difference here.

This cunning and shrewdness is exactly the same as Ling Weiyang's.

However, the person in front of me should not be that guy Ling Weiyang. Perhaps he has his inheritance, or perhaps he has some of that guy's treasures, which is why he has such a strong Ling Weiyang aura.

That guy...

The Taiyin Emperor seemed to be lost in some kind of memory.

Time seems to have stood still; looking back, everything is just as it was before.

Ling Weiyang, though called a human, is on the verge of becoming a demon god. Possessing the bloodlines of both races, he has more choices but also deeper constraints.

Will one follow in the footsteps of the Supreme Dao Ancestor to transcend and become an immortal, or will one rely on the profound heritage within one's bloodline to become a demon god and refine the world?

Nobody knew at the time.

But once Ling Weiyang made his choice, the primordial era gradually faded away.

Who could have imagined that a proud son, favored by many demon gods, would actually herald the end of the ancient demon gods?

That was absolutely hilarious.

Where was I at that time?
Yes, it should still be in Fengdu, the underworld that I created myself.

To be honest, when I heard Ling Weiyang tell me his plan, my first thought was to send this madman to the execution platform.

That's right.

That plan was absolutely insane.

They actually want me to break the restrictions of the ancient underworld, revealing its coordinates and luring the primordial demons and gods into it...

What does he know?
That place was the last homeland he sought for all humanity, once the world had completely fallen into the hands of the demon gods. Fengdu was the last possible place to preserve the seeds of humanity, waiting for a future opportunity.

It was also the most formidable barrier in the cultivation world at that time.

Ling Weiyang actually wants me to hand it over?

What a joke.

But too many people supported him.

Not only did Meng Zhang and Bai Zhaoju, who were on good terms with Ling Weiyang, also come to help, even the kind-hearted Han Shuji.

Finally, even the aloof and arrogant Mitsuki thought it was feasible.

The reason is very simple.

Time is running out. The heavens and earth are being refined little by little by the demon gods, and the tribes under the demon gods' command are invading more and more each day.

If we continue to wait, what's the point of keeping Fengdu here?
In the end, I agreed.

That was truly a thrilling and nerve-wracking gamble.

They used Fengdu, which the demon gods were so attached to, as bait, along with many disciples and cultivators from all sides within Fengdu City.

Ling Weiyang personally went to arouse the interest of various demon gods and assembled a rare alliance of demon gods.

The allied forces of various demons and gods broke through layer by layer, passing the Gates of Hell, the Bridge of Helplessness, and the Mirror of Retribution...

It's remarkable that these people have become united under Ling Weiyang's encouragement. Even sworn enemies who used to fight each other have managed to unite. The various passes built to defend against foreign invasions have been breached or abandoned one after another...

Ultimately, these guys broke into the core of the Fengdu Underworld, the Ten Palaces of Mount Tai.

The appearance of himself, Bai Zhaoju, Han Shuji, and Zhiguangji—all thorns in the side of the ancient demon gods—immediately turned the tide of the battle. The demon gods' subordinates were no match for their combined efforts.

Finally, the demons and gods entered the core of Fengdu Underworld, and then came the climax of the entire scheme. (Close the door but don't beat the dog.)

Ling Weiyang betrayed the Demon God and went from being the vanguard leading the attack on the ancient underworld to becoming the most crucial pawn, changing the layout and formation of the underworld according to the original plan.

Fengdu, once an impregnable fortress, has become a prison that confines demons and gods.

The defense has shifted from an outside-in approach to an inside-out approach.

Lingwei instigated the ancient demon gods to change the landscape and devise ways to seal off the ancient underworld, ultimately turning against them.

Those demons and gods who appeared here were sealed away forever.

From then on, the balance of power between the ancient demon gods and cultivators was fundamentally reversed, and cultivators ushered in the moment when the scales of victory and defeat were turned around.

Use numbers to defeat fewer people, and speed to defeat slowness.

What followed was a counterattack as fierce as thunder.

Taking advantage of the fact that those demon gods were still unable to escape from the ancient underworld, all the fellow cultivators launched a counterattack, starting with the weakest ones, to separate the influence of the ancient demon gods from the laws, and then seal them away.

At the same time, efforts are being made to strengthen and improve the sealing of the ancient underworld.

The original fortress has been turned into a prison, which is something I'm quite proud of.

Cut off a segment of time, forever forming a ban that has no beginning or end.

It was a masterpiece that could never be replicated.

Although the cost was severe, the results were significant.

The global landscape has been completely transformed.

What an interesting time!

The Taiyin Emperor looked down at the shadow below.

The lineage of the Taishan lineage must have been broken, or perhaps Meng Zhang merged into his own lineage.

That once invincible young brother must be an old monster by now, right?

Replacing the Azure Heaven with the Yellow Heaven, and encompassing the lineage of all the immortals in the Heavenly Court, a comprehensive Xuanmen system was created.

I wonder how much of that ambition he actually accomplished.

Ling Weiyang, that cunning fellow who's even more shrewd than a monkey, probably won't just perish along with the Heavenly Court's great calamity, otherwise it would be too ridiculous.

How much did she leave behind in the era of Zhiguang? The Six-Day Yin Instrument can reverse time; I wonder if it can turn back the river of time and restore everything to how it was before it happened.

Immortality is a long and cruel torture, scattering everything you cherish into the river of time, crushing it into dust bit by bit, leaving you only with regret.

The Taiyin Emperor frowned. Sometimes he was also very confused and couldn't remember who he was.

It is the ancient Taiyin Emperor, the unparalleled Taishan Lord, the ancient great power who governs the underworld, determines good and evil, and judges yin and yang.
Or is it a shadow deliberately created by someone in this heavenly court, a string of memories of the past, a ridiculous fake?

Or perhaps it was a wisp of demonic thought generated by countless celestial demons. Because it lacked spiritual awareness, it mistook others for itself. Originally, it was just an aggregation of countless celestial demons, but it deceived itself and tricked itself into becoming the Taiyin Emperor.
Even I can't understand it.

He forced a mocking smile onto half of his face.

Regardless of whether past memories are true or false, this moment is the only thing I can cherish.

Because all that I, frozen for eternity atop this jade throne, possess is this.

These memories, whether true or false, these identities, neither real nor illusory, and these thoughts, whether divine or demonic, are all uncertain.

If you believe these things to be true, then they are true.

The "Emperor of the Moon" smiled and recalled the past once more. The water shimmered before his eyes as he repeated those beautiful memories over and over again.

so good.
