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

Chapter 165 Emperor II

After defeating the Dark Prison, the Emperor returned and began constructing the heavens.

The first thing they did was to refine the ancient realm occupied by the Taoist lineages of Fuxi, Nuwa, Lingbao, and Daode into the ancient realm where the Heavenly Court was located, thus creating a new primordial ancient realm.

In the words of the Emperor, "In such a vast Heavenly Court, instead of thinking about rebuilding the original ancient realm and unifying it, a group of people each occupy an ancient realm."

"What are you trying to do? Are you plotting a rebellion? Do you want to wait for the Heavenly Court to collapse so you can inherit its legacy?"

Then the Emperor ordered the Carefree Celestial Venerable and the Longevity Celestial Venerable to cleanse the disobedient, passively participating, and disloyal lineages within the Primordial Ancient Realm.

Among them, the most famous was the Hegemon Body lineage, which revived in the new era and was directly slaughtered by the Eternal Heavenly Venerable.

The reason is that the Celestial Venerable of Immortality discovered during his investigation of history that the Hegemon Body lineage was suspected of colluding with a strange race.

Furthermore, the Eternal Celestial Venerable asked the Hegemon Body lineage a question: Why were you able to survive from the last era of annihilation and continue your lineage?
Is it because you were lucky enough to find the legacy of the old generation of overlords buried deep underground?
The strategy involved killing first and then interrogating, and in the end, the Eternal Celestial Venerable successfully found evidence of their collusion with the Mysterious Clan within the Hegemon Body lineage.

Then, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity took the cases and went down to examine them one by one, including the lineages of Fuxi, Nuwa, Lingbao, and the Celestial Venerable of Morality.

After all, these people were loyal and dared to challenge the strange race, but that doesn't mean their descendants and disciples are all the same.

Finally, relying on the bloody and brutal methods of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, the Emperor Venerable's prestige, which had just been greatly enhanced by his victory, was restored.

The people inside the ancient realm of success were brought together, and everyone became obedient.

Those who withdrew from the war, avoided the war, and believed that fighting the strange race was unnecessary were all gone.

Because everyone has figured it out: the Emperor doesn't care whether your ancestors had any great achievements, and he doesn't care whether such a massacre will arouse rebellious feelings.

The Emperor only cares about one thing: whether you can be used by him. If not, then die.

Seeing this, Jiang Bai exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being called an Emperor, truly a rare leader."

While the Celestial Venerable of Immortality was purifying the Primordial Ancient Realm, the Emperor Venerable was not idle either. He led a group of people to reshape the physical bodies of those who had been rescued from the Dark Cage and awaken their primordial spirits.

After all, a group of people have already lost their primordial spirit and have incomplete consciousness.

Those whom the Emperor rescued from the dark prison, just as he had initially envisioned, became the backbone of the Heavenly Court, forming an army most loyal to him.

After dealing with these two matters, the Emperor entered seclusion to prepare for his attempt to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

The affairs of the Heavenly Court were left to the Immortal Emperor.

In the Emperor's view, although the Undying Emperor had betrayed him, he was the best administrator of the Heavenly Court after he went into seclusion, without exception.

The Immortal Emperor, who was in charge of the Heavenly Court on behalf of the emperor, did not cause any trouble. Instead, he actively trained troops and cultivated talented individuals.

He further modified his own method of bathing in the Emperor's Blood for Nirvana, lowering the requirements to allow more people to cultivate, and established an Emperor's Blood Nirvana Mutual Aid Association.

In this association, everyone exchanges their essence and blood, then bathes in each other's essence and blood to hone themselves, striving to go further, faster, and more steadily in the Supreme Realm.

Jiang Bai couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene. As expected of the Undying Emperor, he really knows how to win people's hearts.

However, Jiang Bai was somewhat shocked when he saw someone pledging allegiance to the Immortal Emperor and being rejected by him.

You've done all this just to win people over and increase your own power, haven't you?

"I'm only helping you by fulfilling my duty as acting head of the Heavenly Court; I have no other intentions."

"I don't want your loyalty. What I want now is to increase my strength and protect this land."

"I've finally returned home and gained strength, so I must protect it well." After the Immortal Emperor's explanation spread, some people believed it, such as the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, the Carefree Heavenly Venerable, and the Prison Suppressor Emperor, while others did not believe it, such as Chuan Ying.

Those who believe it are people who believe that the Immortal Emperor would not speak carelessly.

The reason why some people don't believe it is because Chuan Ying doesn't believe a single word of the Immortal Emperor; he has a deep-seated prejudice.

After confirming that the Primordial Ancient Realm was safe for the time being, the Undying Emperor entered a period of light seclusion to create his own path of evolution and cultivation method.

Furthermore, the research direction is very interesting; it's about everyone becoming like a phoenix, achieving a phoenix-like rebirth.

Perhaps it was because of the great victory in the battle against the Dark Cage, or perhaps it was because the Heavenly Court finally united.

It is more likely that the Strange Clan is plotting a major conspiracy. For a time, the war in all the heavens has entered a low-intensity phase, and the Strange Clan and the people of the Heavenly Court have fallen into cultivation.

However, this is just speculation from all the beings in the universe, who believe these are the reasons.

Only Jiang Bai knew that the Desolate Emperor had emerged again, forming an army all by himself and marching towards the Strange Plateau to fight a great battle against the three Strange Ancestors.

Its figure was extremely domineering and powerful.

"But I really don't understand, what's his motive for doing this?" Jiang Bai asked Liu Shen, who had come to the Cemetery of Gods and Demons.

"Perhaps it's to hone yourself, or maybe it's to attract attention for you in the heavens," Willow God said with a smile.

Jiang Bai shook his head and said softly, "Let him be."

Liu Shen relayed to Jiang Bai that the Perfect Clan on their side was very powerful.

The chicken farmer, the fake medicine seller, the white-robed immortal king, and the Kunpeng king, who should have died, are all still alive, and they have all successively entered the quasi-immortal emperor realm.

The Butcher and the Burial Master have both reached the Immortal Emperor realm. Together with the Willow God and the Immortal Emperors above the heavens, their Immortal Emperor-level combat power is no less than that of the Strange Clan.

"As long as Ye Fan and his people grow stronger and reach the Immortal Emperor level, or even surpass it, we can launch an attack on the Strange Plateau." Liu Shen's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Jiang Bai shook his head: "If Huang cannot surpass his current level, then we will lose this battle no matter how we fight."

"Putting aside everything else, do you know that there are ten progenitors in the strange plateau?"

Liu Shen was stunned and didn't mention anything about a counterattack until she left.

It's clear that Jiang Bai's mention of ten progenitors was a strong blow to her, while Jiang Bai wanted to say something like, "I haven't even mentioned the eerie plateau that can reverse time yet."

However, not long after, Jiang Bai received a message from the Desolate Emperor.

"Ten mere ancestors? I'm not afraid. Watch me slaughter them."

Jiang Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes. What a damn pretentious guy.

Tens of thousands of years later, war broke out again in the heavens. This time, the strange race sent even more troops, and the Emperor and the Undying Emperor were forced to leave their seclusion and lead many Immortal Kings to resist.

Jiang Bai continues to resurrect people from the era of Shrouding the Heavens, this time a group led by Xue Yueqing, along with the forbidden zone supreme beings who were killed.

The resurrection of these people brought life back to the heavens; they were constantly producing outstanding talents and were formidable warriors.

Only a few people, including the Emperor, knew that this was Jiang Bai's support and the foundation of the era of Shrouding the Heavens.
