A review of the trilogy: Did the emperor only live for ten thousand years?

I felt no joy at having avenged myself; it was as if invisible shackles bound me.

After this battle, the heavens and earth shattered, all realms collapsed, the carnage was immense, and countless years were soaked in blood. Our race was also recognized by the alien realm as a being comparable to an imperial race.

Witnessing the Decline of a Great World

[Listen to the funeral song of a peerless hero...]

Countless lives of my homeland have died at my hands, my hands are stained with blood, and my name will be cursed for eternity, but I don't care!

In the years that followed, I continuously repaired my damaged foundation. I did not fully trust the other realms; without becoming a Celestial King, I was ultimately just an ant, and they could destroy me at any time. Only by becoming a King could I survive the most cruel fate.

[A glimmer of hope in the bloodiest of times]

[I used my innate supernatural powers to sever the universe, leaving the scars on the Great Dao forever. Then I used the Yin-Yang Furnace of Heaven and Earth to suppress myself, and began to travel through countless years to seize creation and repair my foundation.]

But as I slowly regained my peak condition...

Countless fragments of memory are also piecing themselves back together, and endless words are echoing in my mind.

The fall of an era, the seeds of hope.

[The shattered legacy, the brand new cycle of reincarnation, often caused me to lose myself, until finally I pushed my inner supernatural powers to their limit, allowing myself to enter a false space-time to deceive everyone and break through to the King Realm!]

[Countless memories are reassembled, time is pulled back to countless years ago, and black and white images flash by.]

The fog cleared, and I learned the truth!

In an ancient land that connects heaven and earth, past and present, surrounded by mist, as if time and space were tilted, Wuzhong and Lunhui opened their eyes while sitting cross-legged.

The two, with their supreme magical power, manipulated the long river of time, causing a great deal of disordered information to swirl around the three of us.

Our hope lies not in this lifetime...

Uncertainties lie ahead in the chaotic ancient world; behind the alien realm lurks an unseen black mist. We must leave behind seeds of hope and seeds of inheritance for the Immortal Ancient World!

Someone needs to change things, to prove them wrong. This person will carry the last glimmer of hope for the entire Immortal Ancient Realm in this gamble. He needs to abandon his own conscience and bear an indelible stain on his reputation.

[This is the Reincarnation Immortal King speaking.]

Why was I chosen?

I was a little confused, but then I learned the truth: I wasn't a traitor, but an undercover agent.

[Your race possesses innate supernatural abilities to control time and manipulate the void, allowing you to intertwine yin and yang to obscure the secrets of heaven!]

[The Immortal King of Reincarnation provided the answer for me]

At this moment, the live chat exploded:

"Hiss, born in the space-time continuum, a primordial deity, the ancestor of all primordial beings, is this ancestor of all primordial beings really that powerful?"

"One hand can control time, the other can shatter the void—is it really necessary to be so domineering? This Gu Zu is truly no less powerful than the strongest of the Ten Fiends, and he's incredibly cunning!"

"Tsk tsk, one hand on time, the other on breaking through the void, completely outmaneuvering the Immortal King!"

"Bathing in divine radiance, illuminating the six directions and eight wastelands, obtaining the two energies of Yin and Yang, refining the Yin-Yang Furnace that reverses the universe—with so many adjectives, one might mistake it for an immortal king!"

"Huh, the ancestor of crickets also deduced the path of using one's own body as a seed. Interesting!"

"Ancient artifacts of origin? A key? What is all this about? What are these ancient artifacts of origin from other realms? Why would they want to open them and come all the way to the Nine Heavens to find a key?"

"Alas, this battle was too brutal. No matter which of the Ten Fiends' perspectives it was, it was terrifying!"

"Wait, what's going on? Why was the breakthrough of the Gu Ancestor interrupted by the Immortal King powerhouse from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? What exactly does the Desolate Immortal King want to do?"

"Damn it, these beasts actually committed such a heinous act! No wonder the Nine Heavens of Immortal Ancient Times were destroyed!"

"Something's not right. The order to assassinate the Cricket Ancestor was actually given by the Reincarnation Immortal King. He even said that the Cricket Ancestor has betrayed us. What exactly does the Reincarnation Immortal King want to do?"

"Could it be that the Reincarnation Immortal King is the biggest traitor in the Nine Heavens? If that's the case, then it's terrifying!"

"Hmph, what betrayal? Wasn't it the Reincarnation Immortal King who coveted the Gu Ancestor's innate divine abilities first? And now he's turning around and accusing us? How laughable, truly laughable!"

"Wait a minute, don't you guys think something's off? We said before that Gu Zu was an undercover agent. Could this be a ruse for the foreign lands, a setup?"

"But this isn't the scene they were planning at all! It doesn't look like an act at all!"

"No, it's all staged. It's a ruse. Although the scene of their discussion wasn't shown in the footage of the Gu Zu, these scenes are just too bizarre!"

"That's right. As the leader of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Reincarnation Immortal King would never betray the Nine Heavens. This is a ruse. The memories of the Gu Ancestor have most likely been altered!"

"I saw the will to die in the eyes of the Reincarnation Immortal King. He deliberately exposed that slight flaw, intending to have the Gu Ancestor bring his head to serve the foreign land!"

"To be honest, if it weren't for the previous revelation that Gu Zu was an undercover agent, I would probably have really thought that Gu Zu was a traitor. All of this looks flawless!"

"From the perspective of the Gu Zu, his betrayal was a helpless act, and it was precisely because of this that the alien realm believed in him and accepted him. This scheme was too ruthless!"

"They put themselves into the game. Not only the Gu Zu, but even the Samsara Immortal King did the same, even sacrificing their own lives to gain the trust of the alien realm!"

"Alas, Gu Zu has too much blood on his body from the blood of his old friends. In this way, even if he is not a traitor, he is one. Even if he is Ping Fang in the future, he will not have a good end!"

"As expected, all of this was a scheme orchestrated by the Immortal King of No End and the Immortal King of Reincarnation. They deduced the terror behind the alien realm and realized that there was no way to reverse the situation!"

"Therefore, they placed their hopes on the Chaotic Ancient Era, and they did indeed see hope—the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!"

"Now I understand why the Desolate Emperor was able to return safely after being betrayed to another realm. It seems that the Ancestor Gu played a part in this; he made a move!"

"To put oneself in this situation is a noble act of loyalty!"

"..."

At this moment, as the image of the ancestor of crickets appeared...

Countless viewers were thrilled; they never expected that Gu Zu would have such an experience, having been ambushed by his own people.

Even more unexpectedly, the person who instigated it was actually a leading figure in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

....

Chapter 100 Without the Gu Ancestor, there would be no Desolate Heaven Emperor, the perfect first undercover agent!

"To put oneself in this situation is a noble act of loyalty!"

"Now I understand why the Desolate Emperor was able to return safely after being betrayed to another realm. It seems that the Ancestor Gu played a part in this; he made a move!"

At this moment, as the image of the gu ancestor appeared...

Countless viewers were thrilled; they never expected that Gu Zu would have such an experience, having been ambushed by his own people.

Even more unexpectedly, the person who instigated this was actually the leading figure of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Reincarnation Immortal King, which truly overturned the understanding of the audience and powerful figures of the myriad realms!

A world of one's own.

"Wow, what a bold move, willing to risk everything!"

Zhang Chulan gasped, "He actually used his own death to get Gu Zu to infiltrate the alien realm. This Reincarnation Immortal King has such great courage and has played a grand game!"

From the perspective of the ancestor of crickets...

Zhang Chulan initially didn't see anything amiss, only thinking that Jiutian's defection was due to being oppressed!

It turns out that this was a grand scheme that lasted for eternity. The Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King of Reincarnation had laid out this scheme from the beginning of the Immortal Ancient Era for the sake of the future of the Immortal Ancient Era and that sliver of hope for the future!

Not just Zhang Chulan...

Countless powerful beings across the myriad realms, supreme beings from all realms, including Gods of Destruction, Angels, Star Gods, and even the Omni-King and the Grand Priest, were deeply shaken!

This is undoubtedly a high-stakes gamble. Success will turn the tide, while failure will surely lead to utter ruin!

A single leaf can obscure the entire world.

"The Reincarnation Immortal King and the Gu Ancestor, what a noble cause!"

"To achieve such a feat across the nine heavens and ten earths, they were willing to risk their lives and bear eternal infamy..."

"For just that sliver of hope for the future, two Celestial Kings actually laid out such a plan, and even sacrificed a being who was destined to become a Celestial King!"

Numerous supreme beings and contemporary emperors were astonished.

Such a scheme made their scalps tingle, and they felt even greater respect for Wuzhong, the Reincarnation Immortal King, and the Gu Zu, thinking that they had great courage!

"The Desolate Heavenly Emperor, the hope of the Immortal Era!"

On the other side, Ye Hei also sighed, "He is also our hope. We are who we are today because of him!"

Ye Hei had always held the Desolate Emperor in high esteem, after all, the latter had created the world of "Covering the Sky" (遮天系). However, as more and more of the Desolate Emperor's deeds were revealed, his admiration for him undoubtedly grew even stronger...

Without a doubt, it is because of so many outstanding individuals that they were able to survive and rise to prominence!

Otherwise...

As early as the Immortal Ancient Era...

As early as the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were destroyed, and the universe that is now known as the One Leaf Covering the Sky no longer exists.

A perfect world.

"It really is so!"

"This was actually a setup! The Reincarnation Immortal King risked his own life to help the Gu Zu infiltrate the alien realm!"

"We wronged Gu Zu. He could have enjoyed the highest veneration, but for the sake of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he resolutely decided to go undercover, risking his life and reputation!"

Throughout the nine heavens and ten earths, countless cultivators were shaken.

At first, they couldn't believe it, but as the images continued to unfold, they had no choice but to believe it.
