Long Chen entered a fantastical world. The land stretched endlessly and was full of vitality. From the sky, Long Chen's location looked somewhat familiar.
He could vaguely see that the mountains, rivers, and terrain here resembled many places in Central State, except this place was so vast—beyond description.
"Could this be ...?" Long Chen was startled.
A gentle voice from the Tianwu Continent came: "That's right, this is the most primitive form of the Tianwu Continent. In the past, the Tianwu Continent was home to countless cultivators, with thousands ascending every year to enter the previous realm."
The laws of heaven and earth were complete, the heavenly path was smooth, everything developed in an orderly manner. At that time, people were filled with reverence and gratitude for the way of heaven, and their hearts remained simple and simple.
Back then, after the veins were mined, people still knew to leave the source for strangers tens of millions of years later to mine it.
At that time, sects were numerous and conflicts were constant, but large-scale wars never broke out, and cultivators never harmed civilians.
Back then, I was still young and full of energy. The universe was running, and I could draw strength to replenish myself and supply my children.
Watching them break free from the bonds of the Heavenly Dao, spread their wings and soar into the previous era, I felt immense pride... The
Tianwu Continent seemed lost in memories. After a while, he sighed and said,
"Until one day, misfortune struck, and I was shackled, Unable to absorb external forces anymore, he could only rely on his own body to endure hardship.
I thought it would get better after a while, but it only got worse. Bandits from beyond the realm invaded Tianwu, killed my child, and shattered my body.
The merciless plundering and brutal killing were so terrifying. I could only watch helplessly as they killed my child. It was an indescribable pain.
After the great calamity ended, I had to concentrate my efforts to build a strong figure for the Tianwu Continent. Yun Shang stood out and became the first generation of emperors on the continent.
But he told me that his Eye of Destiny saw a glimmer of hope for the future, and told me to wait quietly.
Then he became self-absorbed, and even if I tried to stop him, I couldn't... Then there are Qingxu, Mo Li, Hanwei, Ziyang..."
At this point, the voice of the Tianwu Continent choked up: "They are all good children, yet to protect me, they gave up reincarnation and want to disappear from this world forever. My heart aches so much." Long
Chen finally understood the origins of the five Great Emperors. It turned out they were beings born of fate, possessing the fortune of the Tianwu Continent. In the end, they found themselves powerless to save the continent, so they transformed into Dao and returned their fortune to the continent.
Though dead, their souls remain intact. Their hearts always keep the Tianwu Continent in their hearts, determined to protect it until the very last moment, shedding every last drop of blood and exhausting the last strand of soul.
These were things none of the Emperors had ever told him before. Only now did Long Chen realize just how heavy the burden entrusted to him by the Five Emperors truly was.
At the same time, he grew even more respectful of the five emperors. He could never learn just their spirit of self-sacrifice.
"Now, with the invasion of the otherworldly army and the release of the Blood Soul Power, the Ling Tian Bracelet has been activated, and the will to protect Yun Shang, Qing Xu, Mo Li, Han Wei, and Ziyang has also been awakened.
Under the pressure of the Five Emperors' will, even Ling Tian Zhuo would be temporarily suppressed. They fought for us one last chance. The external blood soul power can perfectly unlock all my potential and help you ascend to emperor. After
speaking, countless runes swirled in the void before him, transforming into a slender arm.
That hand slowly brushed Long Chen's cheek, as warm as a mother's hand, and a finger touched the center of his brow.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, heaven and earth trembled, the entire core of the star domain trembled, endless runes poured into that arm, energy vast as the sea, as if it could flood the entire universe.
This is the core power of the star domain, the heart of the entire world. Even when the Tianwu Continent is on its last lurk, the power it contains can still destroy heaven and earth.
"Get ready," said Tianwu Continent.
"No."
Long Chen instinctively dodged to the side, avoiding the power transmission from the Tianwu Continent. As for why he did this, he didn't understand.
His instincts told him that after using the core of the star domain to become emperor, this world would be completely dead, and he couldn't do that.
"Long Chen, this is the only way to save us. We're all trapped and cannot escape.
I know what you're thinking. You are a kind child, but now we can't delay. You are our only hope. "Tianwu Continent gently advised.
Long Chen also knew that only by absorbing the core power of the Tianwu Continent could he save all living beings.
But even if Tianxia Cang survived, the world of Tianwu Continent died, stumbling five great emperors who had risked their lives to protect the world. Was it destroyed by his hand?
"There must be another way, there must be another way... Long Chen clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and tried his head desperately, but aside from this method, he couldn't think of any other way.
"It's useless. This plan has been laid out for over a hundred thousand years, calculated by five great emperors working together.
You must not bear any burdens in your heart. As long as you can protect my children, I am willing to make any sacrifice. "Tianwu Continent said.
"Why? You love them, but they don't love you. They scheme all day, their hearts full of darkness, constantly destroying your body, trying to drain you dry, never knowing gratitude. Why do you treat them like this?" Long Chen suddenly shouted angrily.
He was furious. How could such a existence exist in the world? People were frantically mining and destroying the Tianwu Continent, completely disregarding her feelings.
Even without the attack from foreign powerhouses, people would have destroyed the Tianwu Continent themselves. But the continent always wanted to save them, which moved Long Chen both deeply and angrily.
The Tianwu Continent suddenly fell silent, then sighed, "They are my children. Whether they are good or evil, I cannot change them."
But they are all my children. I love everyone in the world, no matter how bad they are, I can't change them.
You may call me foolish, but as a spirit of a domain, I instinctively love my children. Whether they treat me well or badly, I will not hate anyone. "
Long Chen, please don't dwell on it. There's not much time left, or it'll be too late."
The Ling Tian bracelet can only be suppressed for a while. It has trapped me for so many years, absorbed much of my power, and now its combined strength is even greater than mine.
Only after you attain Emperorhood and control the Five Great Divine Artifacts can you destroy it..."
"If I can take down Ling Tian Zhuan, will you be free?" Can they help us deal with powerful external enemies? "Long Chen suddenly jumped up, thinking of a possibility.
"How is this possible?" The voice from the Tianwu Continent was filled with shock.
