Su Yuchen said calmly:

"Because people's hearts are unpredictable!"

"Look at the world now. The strong run rampant and act with impunity; lower-level martial artists oppress ordinary people to the extreme, treating them like cattle and horses."

"It's true that humans have seven emotions and six desires, but unrestrained release of the poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance within will only lead the world to depravity and destruction."

"Simply put, the martial artist's actions are dragging the entire Tiandi Consortium down the path of depravity, even into the abyss; and the tycoon certainly doesn't want to die; but he lacks a clear understanding, after all, he is not human;"

"So from the very beginning, He has been using various means to warn martial artists, but unfortunately, His good intentions have not been accepted by humanity; so launching the Great Calamity to cleanse martial artists is His last effort."

Wuming sighed. Of course, he had a clear understanding of the current martial arts world. Wasn't he the same back then, a chivalrous hero who roamed the world and even massacred the ten major sects, even though it was the ten major sects who caused him trouble?

Thinking of this, a thought struck him, and he said, "What about my past grudges with the ten major sects?"

Su Yuchen smiled and replied, "They're just a bunch of greedy fools who, blinded by evil energy, have become nourishment for the great calamity because of their own interests."

Wuming nodded, then frowned and said, "This move by the wealthy tycoon is nothing more than drinking poison to quench his thirst, He..."

Su Yuchen waved his hand and emphasized:

“As I have said, He is not human and does not have clear cognition; He can only act on instinct. Or, after being cleansed by great calamities hundreds or thousands of times, He will develop clear cognition, and then we can think of other ways.”

"Of course, it's also possible that by then He would have become accustomed to cleansing the world, and He might have used you as food; or it's possible that He wouldn't even last until then and would be dragged down into the abyss by you."

"The future is full of uncertainties."

The nameless man said thoughtfully, "Us?"

Su Yuchen smiled and said:

"It really is you."

"I have already completed the eighth stage of the Yang Spirit transformation. I am only one step away from achieving the ninth stage and even transcending the Yang Spirit."

"Although I am not as powerful as 'He' of a world, I can already make choices and jump ship when necessary."

"But now that I'm here, I naturally don't want to leave in such a sorry state. Moreover, I also want to take this opportunity to complete the Nine Revolutions of the Yang God, and perhaps even..."

Su Yuchen didn't say anything, and Wuming didn't ask either.

………………

Wuming nodded and asked, "So, only by dominating the martial arts world of China can the great calamity be ended?"

Su Yuchen shook his head and said:

"The great calamity of the ages is not so simple."

"Martial arts originated in Shenzhou. There are countless old guys and monsters hiding in the Shenzhou martial arts world, so the great calamity is divided into internal and external."

"The calamity within should have been caused by you, the head manager, but because you were without desire or ambition, Xiong Ba was born..."

"The great calamity outside concerns an old monster in China, Xiao Sanxiao..."

After listening to Su Yuchen's account, Wuming frowned inwardly. How could Shenzhou possibly survive such a calamity? Moreover, he himself had already been targeted by the martial will. If he made any move, he feared that not only would he not be able to stop the calamity, but he would also make it even more ferocious.

Your candor convinced Nameless that what you said was true, but he still decided to defy fate and stop the great calamity.

Seeing the narration, Su Yuchen smiled and said:

"All of this was just a choice made before, but now, the great calamity must proceed according to my plan."

"I want to reopen the martial arts world for this realm, to give all living beings a path to heaven, to establish the order of heaven and earth, and to establish the rule of humanity over heaven."

"I hope you can lend me a hand at the last minute."

The nameless man said, "According to what you say, as long as the human heart remains, the evil aura will not dissipate, and the calamity will continue. How can we achieve a permanent solution?"

Su Yuchen pointed to the Qilin outside the courtyard and said:

"For thousands of years, evil energy has caused calamity in this world, and the Qilin has fallen into depravity, but now it has regained its intelligence and has been transformed back into a child of the earth."

"I have my own way of dispelling evil energy, restoring the balance of heaven and earth and evil energy, and reopening martial arts so that evil energy will no longer stagnate but can be used by people."

"But all of this will take time. Before that, I have already made arrangements to unify China. The final moment will only come when the calamity is detonated and the great calamity is pushed toward Japan."

As he spoke, Su Yuchen made no attempt to hide anything and explained his arrangements for Wushuang City and the World Society.

“Japan?” Wuming frowned.

Su Yuchen shook his head and said, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. For the sake of peace in China and to prevent calamities from befalling the world, we can only make things difficult for Japan."

"Moreover, under the influence of Xiao Sanxiao's two sons, Japan has long harbored wolfish ambitions, and I will never allow China to be ravaged. Anyone who obstructs me will be killed."

Su Yuchen spoke calmly, but at this moment the small courtyard seemed to have fallen into an icy hell, where people were cold, blood was cold, and hearts were even colder!

Wuming sighed inwardly, but nodded nonetheless. Since the great calamity was unavoidable, they could only avoid the Central Plains. As for Japan? They could only wait and see if there was any other way.

………………

"If China were to launch a counterattack against Japan in the future, triggering a great calamity, I hope that Your Excellency would step in to save China."

Su Yuchen stood up and said:

"Your swordsmanship comes from sorrow, but it requires experiencing the love, hatred, grudges, life, death, sickness and pain of the world. Your disciple has never experienced these things, so I'm afraid he will have difficulty achieving anything in martial arts."

"Without experiencing wind and rain, how can one soar to the heavens? Even if life is bitter, one should find joy in hardship instead of constantly running away from it."

"I have said all I can say. The choice is yours."

Before he finished speaking, Su Yuchen's figure had already disappeared. Then, the aura of the man and the beast quickly disappeared into the Nameless Sword Heart's perception in a moment.

………………

"Master?" Jian Chen, who was standing to the side, called out as he looked at the pensive Wuming.

"Chen'er, would you be willing to take a trip into the martial world?"

"This disciple will obey Master's orders."

"Ah, I remember your master once said that the martial world is full of extravagance and debauchery, and people's greed is insatiable, with traps everywhere?"

"Yes."

"Looking back now, I realize that while I did everything I could for your own good, I also restricted your path of martial arts cultivation."

"It is a matter of fate that a disciple can follow his master to cultivate."

“That person is right. What I’m doing will ultimately do you more harm than good. If you don’t go and see for yourself, you’ll never understand the good and evil of this world. Why don’t you go to Wushuang City for me and take a look?”

"Yes, disciple will obey Master's orders."

Looking at Jian Chen's eager eyes, Wuming knew he had been wrong after all. He reached out, and a sword's cry rang out from the room. The next second, a streak of light landed in his hand—the Hero's Sword.

After stroking the sword for a moment, Wuming whispered, "Old friend, you have been tarnished in the end. But now a great calamity is about to begin, and we will need you and me to fight in the martial world again."

With a resounding cry, the Hero Sword seemed to respond to Nameless, its unparalleled sharpness instantly soaring from its sheath, scattering the clouds and revealing its unmatched brilliance once more.

Outside the town, in the wilderness not far away, a figure dressed in a monk's robe looked at the soaring sword energy and couldn't help but smile. It was Bu Xu.

“Old friend, I never expected you to actually be living in seclusion here. You’ve truly seen through me.”

After saying this, the monk clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and headed toward the town.

P.S.: I've been sleeping poorly lately, and my sore throat hasn't gotten better in over half a month. I'm also in a bad mood, and writing this is too exhausting. So I'll be taking a break for the first half of next month, so please forgive me.

Chapter 564 The Human Emperor's Legacy

[Thanks to the help of the Mind-Reflecting Mirror, you found the nameless secluded place ahead of time, and you and he just missed each other.]

Although Nameless fully believes in your words, he still needs someone to go and check on his behalf, and also to give his disciple some experience.

Outside the town, Su Yuchen glanced at the narrator and then stopped caring. To him, Jian Chen and Bu Xu were not important, nor were the Buddhist sect's thoughts.

Once China is unified, all sects and factions must join the army to counterattack Japan; those who disobey will be killed.

At this moment, on the back of the Qilin, Su Yuchen reached out and stroked the Xuanyuan Sword, which looked like scrap metal. His most important task now was to cultivate his second primordial spirit so that he could stay out of trouble in future plans.

In this way, even if the Nine Void Boundless Realm is refined and transformed into the Human Divine Court and something unexpected happens, there will be a second primordial spirit to protect him from disaster.

Then, Su Yuchen touched the Human Emperor Sword. If Dugu Ming could really revive this sword, then he would give 'It' a sword strike and give this world a future.

Thinking of this, Su Yuchen patted the dragon's head. The Qilin let out a low roar and immediately transformed into a streak of light in the wilderness. Wherever it passed, it startled a flock of birds.

………………

Seven days later.

A man and a beast stood on a desolate hill not far from Wushuang City, gazing at the vast city in the distance, lost in thought. Under the illumination of their primordial spirits, outside Wushuang City, the massive military camps were filled with soaring blood and qi, and the sounds of battle echoed endlessly.

Clearly, Wushuang City is ready to conquer the world.

Before the Qilin could make a move, two figures appeared one after the other on the city wall of Wushuang City. The former had a cold expression, devoid of thought, with only endless sword energy in his eyes. Standing there, he was like the sharpest sword. The latter was like the sun, dazzling but not blinding, giving people the air of a king who embraces all rivers and has a magnanimous and inclusive demeanor.

It was the Sword Saint and Dugu Ming.

A moment later, a series of martial arts figures appeared behind the two, including monks, Taoists, laymen, beggars, men, women, old and young, all of whom were martial arts masters recruited by Wushuang City.

"Very well, take my sword move number twenty-three."

The Sword Saint's cold, sharp voice rang out, disappearing from the city wall. He then took a step forward, covering thirty or forty feet in an instant, and with the last word, he was already in front of Su Yuchen.

The Sword Saint, standing in mid-air, pointed his fingers like a sword. With a single strike, all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within thirty feet of Su Yuchen transformed into sword energy. The endless sword energy was like a hellish prison, enveloping both the man and the beast within.

The next second, endless sword energy would slaughter the man and the beast in this world of sword energy.

Faced with this world of sword energy that imprisoned all things, neither the man nor the beast moved. A hint of disdain flashed in the Qilin's agile eyes, and its bright yellow scales clanged and jingled without even a spark. Su Yuchen's body was surrounded by flowing black and white energy, and the endless sword energy was completely devoured as soon as it approached.

'Singing...'

With a low roar, the Qilin stomped its front paw on the ground. In the next second, dozens of earth spikes, flashing with an earthy yellow light, shot into the sky, transforming into an earth cage that surrounded the Sword Saint.

The Sword Saint's eyes were calm. With a flick of his finger, endless sword energy flowed like water, transforming from the cage into a surging river that rushed towards the earth spike cage that defied the heavens.

The sword energy surged like waves, endlessly rolling up thousands of piles of snow. The wisps of cold light were finally extinguished by the tide of sword energy as the cage approached the Sword Saint's feet.

Before the Qilin could continue its attack, Su Yuchen reached out and patted the dragon's head; the Qilin let out a low growl of resentment, snorted, looked at the Sword Saint with disdain, shook its head, and turned to look at the wilderness to the side.

"I didn't expect you to progress so quickly. In just over a year, you've already achieved the Yin Spirit level," Su Yuchen praised the Sword Saint.

The Sword Saint didn't speak, glanced at Su Yuchen, and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

………………

"Congratulations on your completion of seclusion, sir. Congratulations to Senior Qilin on escaping your tribulation," said Dugu Ming, who had been waiting quietly to the side.

The Qilin roared, its voice carrying a hint of pride and joy.

"It seems you're ready," Su Yuchen said.

Dugu Ming nodded and said, "Within half a year, this disciple will be able to sweep away the south."

Dugu Ming is very happy about your return; even with his newfound kingly aura, he treats you as always.

What's it like being a father?

Ignoring the narrator's mockery, Su Yuchen reached out and took the Xuanyuan Sword from the Qilin's back, throwing it towards Dugu Ming. Dugu Ming was slightly taken aback, looking at the piece of scrap iron in his hand with some confusion.

Congratulations, you have found the Emperor of Humanity!

The next second, a faint yellowish-brown light rippled across the Xuanyuan Sword, which looked like scrap metal.

Immediately afterwards, without needing to be activated, Dugu Ming's true energy spontaneously surged into the Xuanyuan Sword. As the true energy poured in, the iron filings on the sword quickly disappeared, revealing the golden half of the sword blade.

Dugu Mingshen merged with the sword, and golden sword energy soared into the sky. Within a radius of ten miles, clouds and mist filled the air, creating the Imperial Sword Domain. A sword intent that dispersed all evil and established the order of humanity rippled outwards.

Sensing the rejection from the human emperor, Su Yuchen patted the Qilin, and the two retreated thirty miles away.

[The Emperor's Sword has been unsealed; you have found the source of this world.]

[The martial will lowered its gaze, the human will is binding...]

The origin of this realm was determined by humanity; the future...

Dugu Ming obtained the Human Emperor's inheritance and acquired the "Human Emperor's Scripture".

Your path is contrary to that of the Human Emperor; you have incurred the karmic consequences of…

[Dugu Ming has obtained the will of Heaven for this realm; the overall situation of the Divine Continent is already set, and the will of Heaven is difficult to defy.]

"It really is true that one day you receive the inheritance and embark on the path to heaven." Looking at Dugu Ming who closed his eyes to receive the inheritance of the Human Emperor Sword, Su Yuchen couldn't help but sigh.

"Is the past already set, but the future uncertain?"

Su Yuchen thought of the being blocking the future of this world, and then smiled; if it was just a projection, then he would have to do it to find out, but if it was the real body, then he should run away as soon as possible, it wouldn't be shameful.
