Chapter 11: I swear by the Great Dao, I will not enjoy the glory alone, I will bear all the karma an
The true faces of the ancestral emperors were thus directly torn open by Meng Chen, revealing a bloody truth filled with cruelty and hypocrisy.
The dark turmoil that was feared by countless beings in the universe was not an invasion from beyond the Great Wall, but a gluttonous feast orchestrated by the ancestral emperors themselves.
The powerful beings of the primordial world were all terrified and filled with unprecedented rage.
"They...they are all the great emperors and sovereigns of our human race! They are worshipped, respected, and venerated by all the spirits of the universe! Why, why did they do that? Are they worthy of the human race? Are they worthy of our worship?"
The Holy Lord of the Si family was the first to collapse, his eyes turning bloodshot and his burly body trembling uncontrollably.
He hated the ancestral court, yet he respected the great emperors who had once protected all living beings in the universe.
But why, why? They always thought that the Dark Turmoil was instigated by those Dark Sovereigns from beyond the Great Wall.
The truth turned out to be a dark conspiracy orchestrated by the human emperors themselves, a scheme to prolong their lives.
This is absurd and unacceptable!
Not only the Holy Lord of the Si Clan, but also the Queen Mother of the West, the Holy Lord of the Yun Clan, the Palace Master of Jade Void, and other powerful figures of the prehistoric human race, were all deeply suspicious.
If Emperor Chentian's words are true, then what about their ancestor? Did he also fall and become the instigator of the dark turmoil?
It's terrifying to think about it carefully, it's terrifying to think about it superficially, and it's terrifying even if you don't think about it!
Meng Chen looked down at the people of the prehistoric world who had doubts about him and their own ancestor. Behind every lineage that could come here stood one, or even multiple, Great Emperors.
In particular, the Yaochi Holy Land has produced four great emperors over tens of millions of years, one of whom is known as the Wuzhong Heavenly Emperor, the most powerful emperor of the human race.
If even that one has fallen, it would be an absolute heartbreak for the prehistoric human race and for the Yaochi Holy Land.
Meng Chen naturally did not believe that the Boundless Heavenly Emperor would fall. The reason why the Great Emperors of this universe fell was because their path to enlightenment was too smooth and their lives were too comfortable.
The Great Emperor lived for over 100,000 years, and even a Saint has a lifespan of over 10,000 years. The competition on the path to becoming an Emperor is not fierce. With things going smoothly, the fear of falling and dying increases, which is why they choose to commit suicide.
I cut my own throat not to wait for immortality, but simply because I didn't want to die.
When a group of old people who don't want to die try to survive, darkness and turmoil arise, and the calamity of immortality naturally emerges.
"Gentlemen, do not be alarmed. If there were truly an ancestral emperor of our ancient star in the Ancestral Court, how could the Ancestral Court dare to bully our ancient world so wantonly and blockade it? In my opinion, there is definitely no ancestral emperor among you in the Ancestral Court."
Meng Chen spoke slowly, his words like a shot of adrenaline, gradually calming everyone in the prehistoric world down.
The Queen Mother of the West and the Holy Lord of the Si Clan both felt that Emperor Chentian's words made sense. If their ancestral emperor had truly entered the ancestral court, how could their prehistoric world have fallen to this state?
Even if they were admitted, the ancestral court has become increasingly excessive towards the prehistoric world in recent years. Doesn't that mean that the emperors and ancestors have perished?
The people of the prehistoric world tried to convince themselves.
"Your Majesty, if you were to invite the supreme beings from beyond the universe into the pass, could you guarantee that they would not unleash a dark upheaval?"
"The Divine Lord Fuxi asked respectfully. Neither the Ancestral Court Emperor nor the Supreme Being of the Universe are trusted."
Even with Meng Chen, their trust was only limited because Meng Chen was born in the primordial era and was an enemy of the ancestral court.
Everyone in the primordial world looked at the golden-robed emperor on the throne, awaiting his answer.
After a long pause, Meng Chen nodded and then shook his head, not hiding anything from them.
"I will not deceive you. I brought back the Supreme Beings from beyond the universe so that they would launch a dark upheaval to deal with the Ancestral Court."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned. Some were astonished, some were incredulous, and most were deep in thought.
Those who can become the masters of the Dao lineage are not fools; they instantly understood what Emperor Chentian meant.
This is an example of using someone's own methods against them.
The Ancestral Court Emperor, under the guise of the Dark Turmoil, feeds on all living beings in the universe. When the Supreme Being from beyond the universe enters the pass, if the Dark Turmoil truly arrives, it will be impossible for the Ancestral Court to remain unscathed.
Queen Mother of the West: "You mean, let the supreme being from beyond the universe target the ancestral court, and then we can reap the benefits?"
"Yes and no. The Supreme Beings of the Universe are not fools. They will not let me reap the benefits without lifting a finger. Rather than scheming against them, it is better to cooperate, jointly attack the Ancestral Court, and let the three parties contend to completely stir up the waters of the universe that have been calm for countless epochs."
Meng Chen revealed his true purpose.
Dark turmoil is one aspect; the real goal is to throw the entire universe into chaos, destroy the old order, and thus create new rules.
The people of the prehistoric world were horrified. This was a grand scheme that covered both the inside and outside of the universe. If Meng Chen succeeded, the universe would be plunged into unprecedented turmoil, and there would be no peace from then on!
If Meng Chen's plan fails, the entire prehistoric world will become a sinner in the entire universe.
Meng Chen leaned forward, rose from his throne, looked down at the group of powerful figures from the primordial era, and spoke loudly, his voice echoing throughout the hall.
"Gentlemen, are you willing to join me in this great undertaking? If I succeed, the glory will not be mine alone. If I fail, immeasurable karma and all kinds of consequences will befall me!"
The karma and cause and effect of an emperor single-handedly resisting a great upheaval deeply shocked the people of the prehistoric world. How could they not admire such a magnanimous heart, and how could they not follow him!
"The Kingdom of Lei Ze is willing to be His Majesty's vanguard! To die for the Heavenly Court!"
The King of Lei Ze took a step forward, his armor clanging as he knelt on one knee, his dragon eyes blazing, his voice booming like thunder. For the Heavenly Court, for the Primordial World, he was willing to enter the fray.
"Fuxi is willing to open the way of heaven for Your Majesty, stabilize the universe, and destroy the ancestral court!"
With brothers united in purpose, even the divine master Fuxi was not to be outdone.
A resolute expression appeared on the beautiful face of the Queen Mother of the West. The Heavenly Emperor Chaochen bowed and said, "Yaochi is willing to serve Your Majesty. I only ask that Your Majesty create a new world for our primordial realm and strive for eternal peace once more!"
"The Immortal Island of the South Sea is willing to die for Your Majesty!"
"Yu Xu Palace is willing to die for Your Majesty!"
"The Intercepting Heaven Sect is willing to die for Your Majesty!"
"The Taiqing Dao is willing to die for Your Majesty!"
"The Luo Shen Clan..."
"The Nuwa Clan..."
"The Golden Crow Clan..."
"The Jiuli Clan..."
"..."
One after another, representatives of the ancient Daoist lineages knelt on one knee or bowed deeply, all willing to die for Meng Chen, for the Heavenly Court, and for the ancient world!
Regardless of success or failure, regardless of life or death, they have staked everything.
With life as the medium, for future generations, for the primordial world, let us open a path to life!
Sensing the resolute determination of the people of the Primordial World, Meng Chen's face turned solemn, and he spoke with the words of Heavenly Law, determined not to let them down.
"Good! Good! Good! You all trust me. I swear by the imperial decree and the great principles that I will never betray you!"
The powerful beings of the primordial world felt even more reassured when they saw that Emperor Chentian had sworn an oath with the Great Dao.
To prevent today's conversation from being leaked, Meng Chen will set up an Emperor-level restriction for every powerful being present. Anyone who leaks the information will suffer a backlash, and if an Emperor investigates, their soul will be destroyed directly.
The people of the prehistoric world did not resist and allowed Meng Chen to set up the restriction.
Not long after the restrictions were set up, a steady voice rang out from outside the palace.
"The envoy from the ancestral court requests an audience with the Heavenly Emperor."
