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

Chapter 162 Resurrecting the Great Emperor and Ancient King
"So what do we do next?" Duan De asked excitedly, his eyes shining.

Upon learning that the Desolate Emperor was not dead and that the Old Schemer King had returned, Duan De felt that he was invincible again.

"It's very simple. You will rebuild the Heavenly Court and restore the former glory of the heavens," Jiang Bai said with a smile.

Duan De's eyes widened instantly. He was supposed to be the Heavenly Emperor? He didn't deserve it.
“After all, I can’t show up myself. If you don’t, we can only revive the Black Emperor first and bring him here.” Jiang Bai continued to smile.

“Then I’ll do it. I’m more reliable than Black Emperor,” Duan De said righteously.

Over the next hundred thousand years, Jiang Bai directed Duan De to rebuild the Heavenly Court, spread myths, build temples, and gather the power of faith from all the heavens to resurrect Ye Fan and others.

"Won't the strange race discover us if we do this?"

Duan De felt they were being too ostentatious; he had always kept a low profile before.

"Yes, but the arrogant and strange race won't care; they'll just laugh it off," Jiang Bai said calmly.

"The great sacrifice of the strange race harvests the power of all living beings in the heavens."

"The stronger the living beings are, the more swiftly they reap the rewards."

"The resurrection of Ye Fan and the others is like having a nursery of leeks that can be harvested continuously."

"It's still fast, so they usually don't bother with it."

Duan Deze was furious after hearing the explanation; they were really too miserable.

"So our goal is to secretly revive a group of people before the Weird Clan can react, and let them cultivate quickly."

"This is also the foundation of my previous plans, to strive for opportunities for development."

"After all, the Uncanny Clan has too many high-level combatants."

These words excited Duan De, who began to speed up the construction of the Heavenly Court in order to revive Ye Fan and the others as soon as possible.

However, although the Strange Clan will not directly annihilate the Heavenly Court, they will send people to cause trouble, increase the difficulty of the game for all the heavens, and make everyone grow faster.

In other words, they sent a sparring partner over.

The person sent was none other than the old acquaintance, the Divine Emperor. After arriving, he directly occupied the former foreign land, using it as his center of development, and became the Heavenly Court's greatest enemy.

After the God-Emperor directly created a large number of corrupted beings, including corrupted True Immortals.

A new round of battles erupts between the Heavenly Court and the Mysterious Clan, and Duan De also advances to the Immortal King level under the pressure of the God Emperor.

During this time, Jiang Bai was constantly studying his own Refining Void Realm.

His current state is strange; he is alive, yet he is dead. His body is a solidified mass, devoid of any vitality.

Although he is said to be dead, he is still alive and can be found throughout the heavens. He can gather anywhere in the heavens whenever he wants.

It was as if he lived in an illusion, in another world.

Moreover, this illusory world is filled with strange and unique roads, and he has gained many more abilities.

Jiang Bai even had a feeling that he could do whatever he wanted.
For example, like now... As his thoughts arose, he resurrected the human emperor Fuxi from the era of Shrouding the Heavens, a name he had only heard of but never seen.

Fuxi, whose memory was still stuck at the moment of his death, lamenting the ruthlessness of heaven and earth and forbidding mortals from becoming immortals, looked at the surrounding tombs and his eyes widened instantly. What was going on?

Jiang Bai pointed a finger and transmitted the events of later years to Fuxi. The Undying Emperor, strange worlds, entering the Immortal Realm, the Great Sacrifice, becoming an Immortal, becoming an Immortal King, the Boundary Sea, the bizarre race, and so on, made Fuxi's worldview somewhat shattered for a time.

"Fellow Daoist's plan is to resurrect those of us who have vanished from history, and then have us resurrected one by one to build a new Heavenly Court and become the pillars of the heavens in this new era," Fuxi said calmly, his mind racing.

Jiang Bai nodded. That's right.

“But fellow Daoist, do you want us to draw your attention, and then secretly revive Wu Shi, Ye Fan, and others from the memories you gave me, so that they can hide and cultivate, and then launch a sneak attack on the so-called strange clan?” Fuxi continued.

Jiang Bai's eyes widened slightly. That's right, as expected of the Human Emperor Fuxi, he guessed his thoughts right away.

“Alright, I’m willing to be your pawn, but I must say this in advance: don’t blame me for being too awesome and overthrowing the Strange Clan all by myself.” Fuxi’s smile was radiant.

In an era where immortality is attainable, with enemies of clear purpose, isn't this just a matter of reliving the path of cultivation?
As for the claim that he didn't become an immortal during the era of "Covering the Sky" and thus seemed useless, Fuxi only wants to say one thing: stop joking. I just don't know the path to immortality in the mortal world.

If they knew I was this awesome, they would have crushed me in no time.

"By the way, fellow Daoist, what level of cultivation is required to resurrect an old friend?" Fuxi asked another question before leaving.

“It’s what we often call the Immortal Emperor,” Jiang Bai said casually.

"Alright, I'll rush up there soon." Fuxi left with a big laugh, feeling that the future was full of light.

Jiang Bai did not rush to do anything else, but instead observed Fu Xi.

The resurrected Fuxi possessed the cultivation level of a Great Emperor before his death, and he shone brightly as soon as he stepped into the Heavenly Court and the battlefield led by the God Emperor against the strange race.

In his first battle, Fuxi killed three Supreme Beings and briefly clashed with a Fallen True Immortal before finally escaping.

This battle greatly excited Fuxi; he was terrifyingly strong.

After ten thousand years of refinement, Fuxi transcended tribulation and became a true immortal, transforming into a battlefield god of war. He slew two fallen true immortals and became a pillar of the Heavenly Court's true immortal-level combat power.

Because of Fuxi's brilliance, Jiang Bai noticed that someone from the strange clan had turned their attention to him.

Not long after, Duan De told Jiang Bai that the God Emperor had found him and told him that the strange Quasi-Immortal Emperor behind him had instructed the God Emperor to intensify his suppression of the heavens and promote the evolution of the heavenly civilizations.

Therefore, the Mysterious Clan decided to temporarily abandon the corruption of the Secret Realm Law, and wait until the Heavenly Court becomes stronger before corrupting the Secret Realm Law to provide the Heavenly Court with the necessary strength.

It turns out that the strange clan behind them had already decided to corrupt the secret realm's magic in order to force out the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Jiang Bai smiled and said, "Alright, then let's follow the wishes of the strange race and accelerate the growth of the heavens."

The best way to speed things up is to resurrect people from past eras.

Over the next 100,000 years, as the God Emperor intensified his attacks on the heavens, Jiang Bai resurrected Nuwa, Lingbao Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, Taiyin Renhuang, Taiyang Shenghuang, Guangming Guhuang, and many other figures.

These people, after being resurrected, shared a similar mindset with Fuxi, and asked Jiang Bai a question:
"Why revive Fuxi first, and not me?"

To be honest, this question puzzled Jiang Bai a bit. Why? How would I know? I just randomly revived.

"I am stronger than Fuxi."

Those who were resurrected all said something similar to Jiang Bai, to varying degrees.

Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the people of Zhetian, they have such damn confidence."
