Covering the Sky: I am the King of Men, and I rule over the rise and fall of all heavens.

Chapter 158 The God Emperor's Choice
When the God Emperor descended upon the heavens with the identity bestowed upon him by Jiang Bai, he easily understood the overall situation of the heavens.

Because the short-term goal of the Weird Clan is to gain a foothold in the myriad realms, use Ye Fan and others as training grounds, and harvest the great laws within the myriad realms, the battle between the two sides has reached a stalemate.

This resulted in each side occupying half of the heavens.

The God Emperor also fully understood Jiang Bai's identity in the heavens and learned that Ye Fan and others were searching for Jiang Bai.

Seeing his younger brother and son fighting for the heavens and leading their clan to gradually rise, the God Emperor, after a moment's thought, decided to become an undercover agent.

Using the identity bestowed upon him by Jiang Bai, he attended a high-level meeting of the strange faction and gained a clearer understanding of the strange clan's thoughts. With the help of the Divine Silkworm Battle Armor he possessed back then, the God Emperor easily located his younger brother and son.

On the battlefield between the Mysterious Clan and the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court, having barely won, was preparing to withdraw its troops when Princess Divine Silkworm was blasted apart by a terrifying force.

The little silkworm, who had already advanced to the Immortal King realm, quickly used a forbidden secret technique of the silkworm clan to protect its primordial spirit.

"Who is it?" The enraged Fighting Saint King grabbed his staff and struck back based on his instincts.

The terrifying aura instantly tore everything around it apart.

"The lineage of the Fighting Holy Ape? As reckless as ever." The figure of the Divine Emperor appeared along with the voice.

The little silkworm and the silkworm shattered their pupils instantly, exclaiming in shock.

"Father."

"elder brother."

With a snap, the God Emperor crushed the Fighting Saint King's staff, arrogantly looking at everyone without replying.

At this moment, everyone from the Primal Ancient Realm side on the battlefield was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on? The new enemy is actually an acquaintance.

"Die!" The God Emperor waved his hand, and endless divine power surged forth, slamming down towards the Heavenly Court.

The three leading figures—Little Divine Silkworm, Divine Silkworm Daoist, and Fighting Saint King—unleashed their power and fought back desperately.

However, the huge difference in strength could not be overcome by a burst of energy, and the three were instantly defeated and forced to their knees.

"Get out of my way." A blood-red, phoenix-winged, gilded halberd was hurled from afar, piercing through the Divine Emperor's attack.

"It's you, God Emperor! You're still alive!" The figure of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor appeared from afar; he had come to provide support.

Upon arrival, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor immediately stood in front of everyone, confronting the God Emperor.

The Heavenly Court's forces breathed a sigh of relief; their leader had finally arrived.

"Our imperial clan is blessed with extraordinary talents and abilities that surpass all others throughout history. How could we possibly die? It's laughable," the Divine Emperor said arrogantly.

Upon hearing this, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, your clan is indeed blessed with extraordinary talent. If you had been born in the Immortal Ancient Era, you could probably have secured a place among the Ten Fiends."

"That's natural, but I never expected that a piece of trash like you who cut off his own life would actually come to this point," the God Emperor mocked.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor remained calm and thoughtful, saying casually, "Yes, this is all thanks to the Human King. It's a pity he's missing. Do you know where he is?"

"Hahahaha, what human king? He is the ancestral successor of my strange race, and the current commander of the outpost." The God Emperor's face was full of mockery.

It mocks the ignorance and stupidity of Blood Phoenix and others.

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could the Human King be a member of the Strange Clan?" the Witch Clan member in the Heavenly Army shouted angrily.

They would not allow the God-Emperor to insult the Human King.

"Insects, die." The God Emperor acted decisively.

"Fellow Daoist, you've gone too far." Blood Phoenix sighed, only then coming back to his senses.

A great battle erupted instantly. The two peerless beings among the Celestial Kings tore apart this realm of heavens with a single exchange. After several days of light, neither could gain the upper hand, and the two retreated.

Before leaving, the God-Emperor sneered, "Keep smug. It won't be long before we hold a grand ceremony to annihilate you along with the entire heavens."

As the army retreated, the faces of Little Divine Silkworm and Divine Silkworm Daoist were extremely grim.

They couldn't understand why their perfectly healthy brother and father had suddenly become a strange race.

"Don't overthink it. Go back and report what happened first," Blood Phoenix advised, then continued to ponder.

Soon after, news of the Divine Emperor and Jiang Bai spread throughout the Heavenly Court, shocking everyone in the entire Primordial Ancient Realm.

Everyone went crazy, and couldn't help but question, if the great human kings were all a race of monsters, then was there any point in them resisting? They should just surrender and embrace the monsters; there's nothing wrong with that.

Of course, some people immediately retorted, "Don't be stupid. Being infected and becoming a member of the Bizarre Clan will cause you to lose consciousness. Besides, didn't you hear the God Emperor say at the end that he was going to perform a so-called grand sacrifice?"
Sacrifices definitely require offerings; how could the other side allow the offerings to surrender?

In the Heavenly Court, many Celestial Kings gathered together, discussing the news brought by the Divine Emperor.

Having recovered to his peak and surpassed his past self, the Footprint Emperor used an astonishing secret technique to shield himself from the heavenly secrets.

Then Blood Phoenix slowly spoke: "The God Emperor on the other side seems to be one of our own."

Everyone looked at him in astonishment, wondering what he meant by that.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor said with a strange expression, "I noticed something was wrong as soon as we first met. With his strength, he could crush an army in an instant."

The others continued to frown; this alone wasn't enough.

"The God Emperor's personality is very cunning... no, it should be said that he plans before he acts. He would not be so arrogant and boundless, much less speak wildly."

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King shook his head: "The infected people are all new primordial spirits born in their original physical bodies. These alone are not enough."

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor countered, "Does the newly born primordial spirit have any previous memories?"

After pondering for a moment, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King slowly said, "Based on our observations back then, it generally doesn't exist."

Only in very rare cases does this happen, such as the lineage of the Nine Heavens Guardians, who were directly reawakened.

“But the God Emperor does exist, and he is complete.” Although it was only a few simple words, Blood Phoenix recognized him.

After all, we all knew each other back then, and there are many things that you can only know if you know someone.

"So, the God Emperor on the other side is most likely corrupted, and still has his past memories; he is the God Emperor from before."

"They're most likely here to send us intelligence."

The old Golden Crow Immortal King was a little surprised. "The people born in the era of Shrouding the Heavens are quite formidable."

The other returning people all had the same expression; they were all stunned.

"Let's leave the matter of the God Emperor aside for now and discuss Senior Human King first," Ye Fan interrupted the group.

Upon hearing this, the others' faces instantly darkened. The Human King, and he was even called the successor of the progenitor? This was too much to bear.

It's like during a war, our leader suddenly becomes the enemy leader's son, and the real reason for the war is the discord between parent and child.

What a nonsense.

"The Human King is an undercover agent," Shen Bai suddenly said.

Everyone looked at Shen Bai in shock. What was the reason?

"The reason is simple: if the Human King really wanted to kill us, he would have ordered his army to rush over and grind the entire Primordial Ancient Realm to dust, perform various rituals to send us to the afterlife, and cut off our future."
