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

However, those holy lands and aristocratic families have never understood me, treating me like a thief, even when I tell them that the Great Emperor belongs to everyone!

[The Great Emperor's Tomb is another example. Those sacred sites and ancient royal cemeteries are places I frequent, yet their attitude remains extremely hostile. Every time, a group of old men chase after me and beat me!]

They even said it insulted my ancestors...

[They even brought out their family's imperial artifact! This is utterly unreasonable! I'm being attacked for legitimate archaeological work?]

Chapter 59: Ruthless Talents Amaze Through the Ages, Awe-Inspiring Across the Mortal Realm!

"Tsk, Underworld Lord, Underworld Emperor, Ancient God War, such niche terms, why do they seem a bit out of place with this fatso? And there's also a Source Emperor?"

"Huh? Duan De even met the Ruthless Emperor? That's quite unexpected. This guy seems to have lived through the entire One Leaf Covers the Sky era!"

"His talent is astonishing throughout the ages. To receive such praise from that fat man, I wonder what kind of person that ruthless emperor is? Just how amazing is he?"

"I don't know, but to grow from a little girl to an emperor and even become an immortal in the mortal world, this ruthless person must have suffered a lot, which is heartbreaking!"

"I still remember the despair on the little girl's face when she saw her brother's corpse. The Feathered Divine Dynasty deserves to die!"

"The Ancient Era, so this is the era of Emperor Ye, right? I'll see that dead dog again. The scene of the two of them fighting earlier almost made me burst out laughing!"

"Pfft, here it comes, here it comes, that familiar feeling is back. Sure enough, it's true that people say you shouldn't be too ruthless when it comes to this fat guy. This fat guy is too unscrupulous!"

"What a fine claim to aspire to be the greatest archaeologist, all while calling it historical research! If I hadn't seen Black Emperor's perspective, I might have actually believed your nonsense!"

"Tsk tsk, but to be honest, this fatso is quite different before and after. In his previous four lives, he was an Ancient Celestial Venerable, a Netherworld Venerable, a Netherworld Emperor, and a Source Emperor!"

"As a result, in this life I became an unscrupulous Taoist priest who digs up people's ancestral graves. The contrast is really quite huge!"

"Actually, everything was premeditated. He didn't dig up the grave in the first life because he was the first Ancient Celestial Venerable, but it was different later. He proved his Dao with corpses and source techniques. Wasn't this specifically prepared for tomb raiding in the future?"

"That makes sense, it wasn't very obvious at first, but now this fat guy has finally shown his true colors!"

"Hahaha, what a great emperor! The emperor belongs to everyone, and so does the emperor's tomb. This fatso has a whole bunch of twisted logic. No wonder he can be on par with the Black Emperor!"

"Tsk, how could those powerful families and holy lands not be angry? Their own emperors protect all living beings, and yet you, brat, are eyeing their graves. No wonder they have to bring out imperial artifacts!"

"Pfft, legal? Where did this fatso get his legal certificate? Does he really think this is modern times? This guy is too much of a prankster, he's practically a human version of the Black King, everyone wants to beat him up!"

At this moment, Duan De's past life was revealed.

The audience from all realms burst out laughing, with some even exclaiming that the familiar feeling had returned, and that this was the real Duan De, whose previous incarnations had all been too fake!

Collapse Iron World.

"Haha, this is so funny!"

The god of joy, Aha, was laughing so hard he was numb. The last thing that made him laugh this heartily was that dead dog.

Now, this unscrupulous Taoist priest Duan De is no less formidable, and he really couldn't hold back anymore. He felt that his fun had returned, and his laughter was so loud it seemed to tear the universe apart!

Dragon Ball World.

"103 is amazing, so amazing!"

In the King's Palace, the King's eyes sparkled with hearts, and with an expression of admiration, he said, "I want to be like him someday, an archaeologist, and explore history!"

In the eyes of the Omni-King, Duan De's experiences were incredibly interesting. Not only could he learn about the past of many emperors, but he could also witness many fascinating things!

Most importantly, every archaeological excavation is welcomed by many people; it's all so fascinating!

"..."

The high priest stood to the side, speechless.

Good grief, you actually believe his wildly exaggerated archaeological claims? Tomb raiding is just tomb raiding, it's just a different way of saying it, the actions are the same!

The scene continues to change:

[While excavating the Qingdi Tomb, I encountered Ye Hei. This kid was clearly different from others.]

[I've amassed quite a few treasures by following him, but Ye Hei seemed honest at first, but he's actually very cunning, and I've been tricked by him time and time again.]

[This humble Taoist priest has spent thirty years tomb raiding... no, archaeology, and was once so badly robbed by this black pit that he was left with only his underwear.]

[There is also a black dog that calls itself the Black Emperor or something, which is utterly absurd. I often try to influence it with my noble virtues, but I am repeatedly bitten as a result.]

[Finally, with no other choice, I had to lead by example and bring it along to the work of legalizing archaeology. What I didn't expect was that this damned dog was truly despicable, even more greedy than I was!]

[What do you mean, divide the treasures first and then fight over them...?]

He was adept at exploiting those he knew well, to the point that people in the underworld later said, "Don't be too ruthless when you're a lackey."

[I am praised by the world, but I say frankly: throughout the ages, thirty emperors have buried countless secrets. For the sake of lost history, we cultivators have an inescapable responsibility.]

[Amidst the darkness and turmoil, this humble Taoist also offered up the Heavenly Venerable's blood, which he had painstakingly extracted from his body.]

[He even sacrificed half his life to activate the Devouring Demon Jar, but ultimately he couldn't stop this dark turmoil. In the end, only the revival of the Ruthless Great Emperor could stop it.]

[Speaking of which, I think it would have been better if Ye Hei had sacrificed himself from the start and directly summoned the Ruthless Empress.]

Anyway, Ye Hei isn't destined to die young; he'll eventually be resurrected... Speaking of resurrection, haven't I died countless times myself? What a nuisance!

[It seems I've been searching for something, but I haven't found it. Now I only know that when I'm about to die, I'll bury myself, and then...]

[As my cultivation level continued to rise and I unearthed more and more ruins, I began to touch upon those memories from the past. As expected, I am destined for greatness, possessing a great secret within me. In the end, I finally gathered all the marks of reincarnation.]

[Having achieved immortality nine times in the mortal world, possessing knowledge of the past, present, and future, those titles like Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable, Underworld Venerable, Underworld Emperor, and Origin Emperor were all aliases in my previous lives.]

[The Emperor was once my disciple, I founded the Underworld, and I am the founder of Origin Techniques. So, by that logic, I am also the Grandmaster Ye Hei.]

[After all, this kid has also learned Source Techniques...]

Speaking of Ye Hei, I get a little angry. It was one thing for this kid to trick me before he became a Daoist, but he's still just as cunning after he became a Daoist, often scaring me.

Every time I fall into a deep sleep or awaken, this brat haunts me like a demon. If I weren't outmatched by him, I would have fought him to the death.

[But it's strange, Ye Hei really has a long life. I'm only able to live again and again in the mortal world thanks to my Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Technique and my physique.]

[And this kid, actually, has lived on and on, life after life. Every time I wake up and want to dig... no, to excavate this kid's Heavenly Emperor's tomb, I always find him alive and well.]

Finally, I gave up. This kid lives too long. If it weren't for my advanced immortal cultivation and faster reincarnation, I probably would have become an immortal later than him!

Finally, I fought alongside Ye Hei and the others in the Immortal Realm, and I even thwarted my good disciple's conspiracy.

However, when I arrived at the Immortal Realm, I found it already in ruins. The road ahead was not to a perfect world, but to a battlefield that had become ruins.

And so, we began to repair the Immortal Realm. And with that, my story comes to an end. If fate allows, we shall meet again...

This concludes the footage of Duan De.

In an instant, the live chat exploded:

"Good heavens, this fatso even dug up the Azure Emperor's grave, and Ye Hei went there too? Oh right, I remember the Azure Emperor mentioned in the video that a drop of imperial blood fell into Ye Hei's body, so it must have been around this time!"

"Pah! This fatso has the nerve to call Emperor Ye cunning? Wasn't it this guy who started the fight with Emperor Ye?"

"That's right, that fatso deserves it. He's clearly taking advantage of Ye Tiandi's newcomer to the cultivation world to bully the weak!"

"Hahaha, to be honest, Emperor Ye is indeed a bit cunning. He actually tricked that fatso into only having his underwear left. The scene is just too beautiful!"

"Tsk, I see Black Emperor. Those two are really alike. One says he'll take the other as a pet, and the other says he'll influence the other with his noble character!"

"Noble character? This guy has no noble character whatsoever, he's utterly shameless, he deserves to be bitten by a dog!"

"Good heavens, these two are indeed birds of a feather, they went tomb raiding together. But that Black Emperor is really a swindler, he knocked me out with a club after dividing up the treasure!"

"It wasn't enough to exploit someone you know once; he did it several times. Only Duan De could pull that off. If it were anyone else, they probably would have fought to the death!"

"Haha, you can't be too shameless as a dog. This fatso still has the nerve to say that? Shamelessly boasting about himself, if you're so capable, say that sentence again!"

"Hmm, to be fair, this fatso isn't bad. He stepped up at the crucial moment. He truly lives up to his title as the first Heavenly Venerable!"

"Indeed, that's the blood of a Celestial Venerable! This kid sacrificed it directly, even risking half his life to activate the Devouring Demon Jar. He truly deserves the titles of Emperor, Sovereign, and Celestial Venerable!"

"Hmm... We were just bragging a minute ago, and then this fatso said that Ye Hei should go and deliver the goods right away. This fatso is still the same old bastard!"

"But what does summoning the Empress mean? Could it be that the Empress's resurrection is related to Ye Hei?"

"I don't know, but I imagine there's some connection between the two. Perhaps we'll find out their relationship when the ruthless man or Emperor Ye's summary video comes out!"

"Sigh, I feel sorry for this unscrupulous Taoist priest. He's been reincarnating time and time again without any memories of his past lives. It must be really tough for him!"

"Actually, it's better to have no memories, since you don't have to recall the past. Besides, these memories haven't been lost; they can be reactivated!"

"Hiss, this fatso has become an immortal in the mortal world? And he's achieved immortality through nine lifetimes! That's a bit too heaven-defying, isn't it?"

"Wow, you can't judge a book by its cover! I honestly never realized this fat guy was so amazing. After all, he doesn't look like a master at all!"

"Pfft, Emperor Ye is too funny! He always manages to scare Duan De when he's asleep or awake, just like a vengeful ghost!"

"Tsk tsk, this fatso even wanted to dig up the Heavenly Emperor's tomb. Didn't expect that, did he? He woke up to find himself still living in the Heavenly Emperor's calendar, with the Heavenly Emperor right beside him. How interesting!"

"Good heavens, this fatso finally made it into the Immortal Realm, and with the techniques of a Nine-Life Mortal Immortal at that! But what's this Emperor's conspiracy he mentioned?"

"I don't know, but that kid Emperor is really not dead, and he seems to be planning something. Could it be another scheme like the Ascension one?"

"Possibly, but unfortunately he's no match for Emperor Ye or that unscrupulous Taoist. To be honest, the master is still the master, and this disciple is still a bit lacking!"

"Huh, the Immortal Realm is actually in ruins! What happened to it? It's unbelievable, that's the Immortal Realm, how could it be destroyed!"

"Even immortals in the mortal realm probably couldn't do this, right? I guess only beings of the level of the Omni-King or the Grand Priest could accomplish it. Could there be a realm above the mortal realm?"

"That should be the case. After all, don't forget that this is the Heavenly Emperor Trilogy, and One Leaf Covers the Sky is only one of them!"

"So it seems that the fantasy world is even more terrifying than we imagined, with even multiverse powerhouses. I wonder if there are infinite multiverse levels?"
