The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 70 Shocking Secrets
As Xu He's calm voice fell, Duan De's pupils shook and collapsed in an instant.

Duan De widened his eyes and stared at Xu He.

He wanted to remain calm, but he couldn't hide his panic at all; as a person who had lived through several lifetimes and dominated the world for ten thousand years, he shouldn't have lost his composure like this.

but……

This person unexpectedly appeared behind him silently, and accurately stated his two identities: the Lord of Tribulation and the Emperor of the Underworld.

and……

Duan De remembered it very clearly and was deeply impressed.

When I named myself Duan De just now, I kept repeating the name in my mind without saying it out loud.

How did this person know?

As far as he knew, the so-called "telepathy" was not so incredible. Besides, they were all supreme-level figures, so how could their thoughts be seen through by others?
These are still secondary.

What really frightened Duan De was the three words "Cao Yusheng" that the man had just said.

Cao Yusheng was his first life.
It was also the life where he placed almost all his emotions, including his best friend, rabbit, and black dog.

He didn't mention all this to anyone.
Moreover, when he revived in the past, his memory was temporarily sealed and he did not know about these things.

Not only did he recover early in this life, but he also recovered his memory on his own...

If I am like this, what about the person in front of me?

Duan De forced himself to calm down and stared at Xu He's handsome face.

"Who are you? How did you find out about this?"

He desperately wanted to know an answer. In Duan De's mind, there were only two possible results, but the most important one was that this person was the reincarnation of his best friend.

Duan De knew that this was a bit unrealistic, but he still wanted to know urgently.

"Emperor of Heaven." Xu He said lightly.

Duan De swallowed his saliva. Although he was still pretending to be calm, there was already some anticipation and joy in his eyes.

"Which Heavenly Emperor?" Duan De asked quickly.

"It's not who you think it is, nor is it who you are familiar with." Xu He still spoke calmly, without a trace of emotion.

Duan De showed a hint of doubt on his face as he looked at Xu He's face. For some reason, he combined it with the face of an old friend.

They are actually three points similar.

At this moment, he suddenly realized why he had a strange feeling in his heart when he saw Xu He.

"What era is it now? How long has the Green Emperor been dead?" Duan De looked at Xu He, but ultimately did not mention Shi Hao's name.

"The Green Emperor has disappeared for more than five thousand years." Xu He said.

"You've achieved enlightenment more than five thousand years after the Green Emperor died?" Duan De looked at Xu He with wide eyes.

As an emperor in the past, he shouldn't have lost his composure like this.

In fact, there have been few times in history that he could be like this.

This was never the case even when facing an enlightened person who had just passed the tribulation.

What really surprised Duan De was that Xu He was able to become the emperor more than 5,000 years after the death of Qing Emperor.

He began to rise at the end of the chaotic ancient era, overcame the calamity to become an emperor, and single-handedly created the mythological era. After millions of years, he already knew that the current environment of the nine heavens and ten earths could not adapt to the coexistence of emperors, and if the later ones wanted to become emperors, they had to wait for the suppression of the previous emperor to completely dissipate before there would be a glimmer of hope.

If one wants to wait until the suppression of the previous emperor is completely dissipated, he will have to wait for at least ten thousand years, until the successor is really strong enough to sweep away everything before he can reach the top.

And the Xu He in front of him... according to him, it only took five thousand years?

What's more, that person is the Green Emperor.

The origins of the Green Emperor might not be known to everyone, but for Duan De, who has existed for almost eternity, how could he not know about it?

A person who walked out of the elixir of immortality, or in other words, he is a real immortal!

Such a person is destined to become an immortal.

I'm afraid the entire Immortal Realm will open up because of him. After all, the Green Emperor is most likely a fallen Immortal King, and now he's just retracing his steps.

But for such a person, five thousand years after his death, was there a successor who broke through the avenue and reached the top?

Duan De was a little bit unbelievable, but looking at Xu He in front of him, Duan De felt that this person was unfathomable and was definitely not inferior to himself.

Since the ancient times, there are really not many people who can give me such a feeling.

Emperor Zun can be considered one of them. In the past, he was so powerful that he met Emperor Zun by chance. Later, he developed a love for Emperor Zun's talent and kept him by his side as his apprentice.

Later, Emperor Zun emerged as a rising star, and seemed to have the momentum to overwhelm him.

At that time, Duan Decai felt a sense of pressure, but that was all.

The two were both teachers and friends. After Emperor Zun participated in the creation of the world, he wanted to break into the fairyland, so he invited all the emperors and ghosts to become immortals together.

But Duan De's mind was not on this, or rather, the path he wanted to take was completely different from that of the Emperor.

At that time, the Emperor was still quite clear-headed, and Duan De didn't notice anything unexpected...

When you wake up again, it will be the next era.

Taiyin and Taiyang were quite stunning in Duan De's eyes, but not as good as the Emperor, so Duan De buried himself again.

Later, a truly extraordinary figure emerged.

A man who reached the pinnacle of his mortal form and slaughtered an entire era with blood.

That person is not only cruel to others, but even crueler to himself. Even his entire body can be used as material to refine imperial weapons...

That person is called the Ruthless Emperor.

Duan De is the first person since Shi Hao who feels inferior to others.

Later, another character appeared, a truly unparalleled figure.

That was the last emperor of the human race in the ancient era.

The human race had been without an emperor for tens of thousands of years, and the resentment that had been accumulated for tens of thousands of years turned into a force that soared into the sky, giving birth to the strongest figure in the history of the human race after the chaotic ancient era.

That person can be said to be truly invincible. He has been invincible since he was born. No one in the restricted area dares to fight him, no one in the supreme realm dares to speak to him, and he looks down on the world.

But that person is not him.

Later, a great emperor emerged from the demon clan, who was equally invincible and equally arrogant.

Indifferent, yet compassionate.

A person who came out with an elixir of immortality, cut off his past, and embarked on the path of immortality again.

Duan De once felt strange and had a long talk with him.

The final result made Duan De feel at ease. Because of the Green Emperor, Duan De firmly believed that Shi Hao was not dead.

Either they are waiting for resurrection somewhere in the nine heavens and ten earths, or they are still in the fairyland, or they are in heaven.

Therefore, Duan De was searching hard in the world on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was walking on his own path to immortality, looking forward to the day when he would become an immortal and enter the fairyland to meet the ancients.

Later, during a very short sleep, another peerless figure was born.

Now he stood in front of Duan De.

This person is very strong, and Duan De is extremely sensitive.

Perhaps few sages throughout history can compete with him.

He only felt such powerful oppression from one person.

At this moment, he already had a guess in his mind, but he did not intervene forcefully. He just pondered for a while before speaking:

"Qingdi, besides his short life, he has no flaws. What a pity, what a pity."

Seeing Duan De shaking his head with regret, Xu He suddenly spoke and revealed a shocking secret:

"In fact, the Green Emperor is not dead."
