She was originally a mortal and had no possibility of cultivating.
Yet, relying on her own talents, she completed the final piece of the Sun of Dawn for humanity, providing them with a supreme treasure for their race from then on.
She was a great sage.
However, she was hidden in the history of the human race. Very few people knew about her and all the halos landed on her husband.
She, exalted as the Empress, had two sons. Her heart was solely devoted to her husband, sharing his worries and considering his concerns. For the sake of her offspring and her husband, she was willing to give everything, with a single- minded focus.
But in the end, she faced the tragic outcome of being separated from her children and being brutally targeted for annihilation by her own husband.
Everything was just because her husband wanted to become a god and wished to sever all emotional ties.
She didn’t know what she had done wrong, nor did she understand why her path would be like this.
Hence, the sorrow and helplessness that accompanied the first half of her life were engraved in her soul.
She had once knelt under the sky and prayed to the holy land.
However, the holy land didn’t respond.
She once knelt before the nobles, seeking assistance from fate.
But the nobles remained silent.
She had cried, she had been angry, she had been sad and she had been silent.
Until, in the most despairing moment of her life, in that twilight within the palace, she weakly looked at the statue of the Sword Holding Great Emperor. As she approached her final moments, she shed her last tear.
As the tear flowed down her cheek and landed on the ground, she heard the sound of it bursting and a sigh that echoed in fate.
“Humans shouldn’t be like this… Child, humanity has wronged you…”
She then saw an old figure that she would never forget walking past her.
Behind her, a sword landed on the source of her sorrow.
This slash broke fate and changed everything.
“The Great Emperor is like a father to me.”
The Empress mumbled.
At the darkest moment of her life, it was the Sword Holding Great Emperor who saved her.
In the most sorrowful moment of her life, it was the Sword Holding Great Emperor who gave her hope.
In her confusion about the meaning of life, it was also the Sword Holding Great Emperor who imparted his cultivation to her.
He also gave the human race to her.
Hence, she transformed into Mystic War and led the rise of the human race. Under the final protection of the Great Emperor, she took off her mask and achieved godhood, becoming the only Empress of the human race in history.
“However, protecting the human race wasn’t my wish originally. This was your lifelong wish, Great Emperor. Hence, this became my wish.”
The Empress looked at the statue and mumbled to herself. The longing in her eyes grew increasingly intense and revealed determination.
She wanted to revive the Great Emperor who was like her father!
Back then, you were the one who saved me from despair.
Today, I will help you return from death.
An intense glint appeared in the Empress’ eyes. Under the gaze of the trembling Demon Feather, the rumbling of the Ancient Sovereign Planet, Erniu’s incredulous gaze, and Xu Qing’s excitement…
She took a step forward and stood between heaven and earth.
“I am the Human Emperor!”
“I bear the fates of countless humans of Wanggu. Now…”
The Empress’ gaze seemed to be able to penetrate this world and land on Wanggu and the human race.
“Summon the memories of the Sword Holding Great Emperor in the hearts of the human race and become the Human Soul of the Great Emperor!”
As soon as she finished speaking, it was like heavenly lightning had erupted, exploding on the human race’s territory and echoing in the minds of every human.
It stimulated the memories of all the humans in the Grand Imperial Capital Region and their regions. And within this immense tide, all memories related to the Sword Holding Great Emperor emerged.
As long as someone remembered, there was a possibility of returning.
As for the Sword Holding Great Emperor, who could forget him…
It was he who, after the departure of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether, chose to stay behind and protect humanity, shielding them from the encroachment of other races.
It was he who, in countless battles to protect humanity, continued to slay gods and bring peace even after his true body had perished, with only his avatar remaining.
The innumerable life-and-death battles he had taken part in shook countless forces.
Even in his final years, he still retained the power of a single sword slash, causing foreign races to be extremely wary.
It could be said that without him, the human race would have been exterminated long ago.
His life was accompanied by a rain of blood. He was also the history of the human race after Mystic Nether left.
No one could forget such a Great Emperor!
At this moment, the memories of him turned into specks of crystal light that appeared in the minds of every human. They floated up and gathered toward the Demon Feather Holy Land from everywhere, heading toward the fruit.
Finally, after the memories gathered, these countless crystal specks transformed into a wisp of the Great Emperor’s Human Soul and fused into the statue.
“Throughout his life, the Great Emperor guarded the people and the territory. Today, summon the spirits of all our regions and lands to become the Great Emperor’s Earth Soul!”
The Empress’ voice was like a law, roaring across Wanggu. All human territories felt the tremor: mountains shook, rivers quivered, and every piece of soil and every building resonated with the thunderous sound.
The sky had a spirit, the ground also had a spirit.
At this moment, the spirit, awakened, transformed into shimmering crystal specks and ascended into the sky, becoming a wondrous sight. Amid the astonishment of countless cultivators in the Demon Feather Holy Land and the excitement of human cultivators, it merged into the fruit and into the statue of the Great Emperor.
“Soul has three aspects: Human, Earth, and Heaven. Summon the essence of humanity from the time of the Eastern Triumph, through countless years of rise and fall, to reach the pinnacle of fortune at the moment of my ascension. Transform it into the Great Emperor’s Heaven Soul!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the world of the human race rumbled. The fortune of the human race rose and soared into the sky, ignoring the obstructions of the Demon Feather cultivators and all the obstacles. It was filled with determination, domineeringness, and its own weight…
It rushed into the Dao Fruit and into the Sword Holding Great Emperor’s statue.
The statue shook.
At this moment, the memories of the race were the Human Soul, the mountains and rivers were the Earth Soul, and the fortune of countless years was the Heaven Soul.
The three souls were gathered!
This resurrection was a huge matter for the Empress and the entire human race!
Moreover, it was also the matter of the Human Emperor!
“Soul has three aspects, and the spirit has seven!”
The Empress suddenly turned her gaze towards the five former human emperors, who were meditating on the Ancient Sovereign Planet. At the moment she looked, They all simultaneously opened Their eyes and met her gaze.
“It is difficult for ordinary beings to form the Great Emperor’s spirit. Since the Great Emperor devoted his life to humanity, we, the human race, will shape the three souls with our memories, mountains and rivers, and fortune. The human emperors will shape his spirit!”
“First Spirit, the Sky Piercing, formed from my past!”
The Empress suddenly spoke. She raised her right hand and slashed fiercely at her body.
Under this slash, her body clearly became a little illusory. She slashed down her past and transformed it into the first spirit, merging it into the statue of the Great Emperor.
“Second Spirit, the Spirit of Wisdom, Human Sovereign Mirror Cloud!”
On the Ancient Sovereign Planet, the Human Sovereign Mirror Cloud rushed up and transformed into a dark light that fused into the Great Emperor’s statue.
“Third Spirit, the Spirit of Qi, Human Emperor Dao World!”
Dao World stood up and walked into the statue.
“Fourth Spirit, the Spirit of Strength, Human Emperor Eastern Triumph!”
The divine might of Eastern Triumph soared into the sky as He transformed into a spirit and fused into the statue.
“Fifth Spirit, the Central Spirit, tempered with my future!”
The Empress was determined. After slashing her past, she was slashing her future, using her boundless future to become the Central Spirit of the Great Emperor!
“Sixth Spirit, the Spirit of Essence, Human Emperor Holy Heaven!”
Holy Heaven closed His eyes and transformed into a white light, becoming the Essence Spirit of the Great Emperor.
“Seventh Spirit, the Spirit of Heroism, Human Emperor Mystic War!”
Mystic War raised His head and there was a hint of guilt in the depths of His eyes. He slowly stood up, willing to become the seventh spirit.
At this moment, the three souls and seven spirits were complete.
The statue of the Great Emperor rumbled, this world rumbled, and the Demon Feather Holy Land rumbled.
Meanwhile, the Demon Feather Great Emperor, observing all of this from afar, had already guessed the next step. His expression changed, becoming one of sorrow, but in the end, he chose to retreat and move out of the realm within the Dao Fruit.
He let out a long sigh. He knew that there was nothing he could do. He could only use his fastest speed to take some of the direct descendants away from the holy land.
The moment he retreated, the expression of the Empress, who was standing in the realm of the Dao Fruit, turned cold. Her cold gaze looked at the entire Demon Feather Holy Land and she raised her right hand.
“I won’t allow failure and this Dao Fruit has withered, so…”
“Sacrifice all living beings in the Demon Feather Holy Land!”
“Become nutrients for this Myriad Mystical Life Dao Fruit!”
The Empress’ words were like heavenly sounds, echoing through the Dao Fruit Realm and erupting in the entire Demon Feather Holy Land.
At the same time, the Tenth Ruler Mountain, where the Empress used to stay, erupted.
This mountain shed all concealment and transformed into a divine mountain. It activated a divine technique that the Empress had stored here for a long time!
This divine technique stripped away the concept of night, causing light to become everything.
It was like a ray of light blooming in the Demon Feather Holy Land.
Wherever the light passed, everything distorted and blurred. In an instant, everything was covered in the light.
This place became like a Divine Realm.
If the Demon Feather Great Emperor left, all living beings in the Demon Feather Holy Land would be unable to stop this calamity.
Against the peak of the Divine Platform, those below the Great Emperor realm were like ants.
At this moment, the flickering light in the Demon Feather Holy Land was like the eruption of a new star, attracting the attention of all living beings in Wanggu.
At the same time, the Empress’s divine power at the peak of the Divine Platform rose completely and unreservedly at that moment. It surged into the realm of the Dao Fruit, replacing its meridians and circulation, becoming an ultimate force of absorption. This force thunderously expanded, enveloping the entire Demon Feather Holy Land.
It absorbed all life, all souls, and all flesh and blood.
Under the light of the Divine Platform and the absorption of the Dao Fruit, countless Demon Feather cultivators who were abandoned by the Demon Feather Great Emperor were instantly destroyed in body and soul, turning into endless flesh and blood paste. They were guided by the suction force emitted by the Dao Fruit and fused into it.
As more and more flesh and blood gathered and the calamity of the entire Demon Feather Holy Land continued, the Dao Fruit also changed from its withered state. It gradually gained a luster and was gradually filled.
Such methods showed how ruthless the Empress was!
The Empress didn’t hesitate at all. She raised her hand and pointed, connecting the Dao Fruit to the Great Emperor’s statue.
A murmur came from her mouth.
“Myriad Mystical Life!”
As soon as she spoke, the Dao Fruit that had absorbed countless flesh and blood suddenly trembled. Innumerable runic marks appeared and circulated around each other. It was as though it had opened the gate of reincarnation, as though it had opened the path of life and death.
The sky changed color.
The void rumbled.
After that, this Dao Fruit visibly withered again. The nutrients inside all surged into the Great Emperor’s statue.
This statue now possessed three souls and seven spirits. Its life seemed to be brewing and the arrival of nutrients caused it to undergo a mysterious change.
The statue’s clay body shone with a resplendent light and was gradually turning into a body of flesh and blood.
At the same time, a sense of recovery erupted from within, and the familiar aura of the Sword Holding Great Emperor… appeared.
This aura was getting stronger and stronger!
It broke through the realm of the Dao Fruit, the Demon Feather Holy Land, and shocked everyone in the Wanggu.
It attracted countless gazes.
The Empress was excited, and so was Xu Qing.
However… the instant countless gazes landed, the statue suddenly shook. This aura that had climbed to the peak actually became unstable and began to collapse!
“NOO!!”
The Empress’ eyes turned bloodshot.
