As Wang Baole stepped into the familiar darkness of the statue, he heard the sound of breathing.
It was as if there was someone in the depths of the darkness, slowly breathing, slowly sensing, and paying close attention to him.
Wang Baole looked silently into the darkness, in the direction of the breathing.
It seemed very far away, but also very close at the same time.
The fluctuations were familiar, and the resonance of his bloodline. As of this moment, the identity of that person was no longer a secret.
The darkness that separated them seemed to be the manifestation of some sort of sealing power. Although Wang Baole could see through it, he didn't.
He stood there silently as he stared at the image of the Emperor's sixth memory slowly emerging from the darkness.
In the image, only one of the Dao Domains formed by the Celestial Emperor's one hundred thousand Divine Wills was left. The rest had all succeeded, and as the fruits returned to the Celestial Emperor and were absorbed by him, the Celestial Emperor's injuries seemed to improve.
Although he hadn't fully recovered, the Emperor knew that his plan had been correct. Therefore, he began to wait patiently … for the final discarnate soul to arrive.
However … the final strand of discarnate soul never appeared. Gradually, the Emperor began to lose his patience, and began to get anxious. The reason for that was because, over the years, he himself had been affected by the effects of the Wood Tribulation, and some problems had arisen.
As for what exactly the problem was, the memories didn't reveal it, and Wang Baole didn't know. It was almost as if the memories had been intentionally erased.
Regardless, the problem caused the Emperor to grow weaker and weaker. It was at this point that a rebellion broke out.
Within the Origin Space Dao Kong, the former generals of the Monarch started their counterattack. To them, this might be the only chance to escape from the Monarch's control.
However, they had underestimated the Emperor ….
Despite the wood tribulation, despite the fact that something had happened to him, the Emperor was so powerful that he was able to quell the rebellion.
Moreover, the Sovereign Emperor that appeared before these battle generals seemed to be a little different from the one in their memories. His entire body was filled with black fog, and his methods were extremely cruel.
In the image, Wang Baole saw a large number of almighty beings being suppressed by the Emperor in a burial ground. He had set up a spell formation that made them undying and indestructible, providing them with an unending stream of life force.
They were like batteries …
Every time their life force was sucked away, their pained expressions occupied most of the scenes … At the same time, Wang Baole also saw part of the process of their seven emotions and six desires being suppressed.
He saw the curse of the Lord of Appetites after he chose to surrender. The sound of boiling in the cauldron was terrifying.
He also saw the grief of the Lord of Desire. For the sake of his disciple's life, he chose to lower his head. However, the curse was cast upon him, causing him to howl in pain.
There was also the body of the Lord of Desire, wait a minute …
All of this appeared before Wang Baole's eyes. The Monarch in the scene was filled with brutality and madness. The black fog made Wang Baole fall silent.
In the end, after suppressing all of the rebellions, the Emperor used the last of his strength to transform the Primordial Universe Dao Kong into a three-layered world.
The third level of the world was the burial ground. In addition to the supreme beings who had been punished to become batteries, there were also the powerhouses who had been sleeping for countless years.
These people were the subordinates of the generals.
The second level of the world was given the laws of the seven emotions and six desires by the Emperor. Those who had chosen to lower their heads were placed in it and became the Lords of Desire.
Then, the Emperor surrounded the most well-preserved holy land of the past and turned it into the first level of the world. He completely sealed the first level of the world from the second level of the world.
It was like a seal, but also like an isolation. The cultivators of the second level of the world would never be able to set foot in the first level of the world for the rest of their lives. At the same time, Xuan Chen, who was the strongest person after the Emperor, was suppressed by the Emperor and became his guardian.
After doing all this, the Emperor chose to go into seclusion in the first level of the world.
From then on, the legend of the slumbering god continued to spread in the second level of the world as time passed …
At this point, the scene froze.
Wang Baole looked at all of this. He already understood almost all of the Emperor's memories in this life. He could more or less guess the rest of the memories.
In the burial ground of the third level of the world, the supreme beings who had been treated as batteries, after countless years, even if they had the characteristics of being immortal and indestructible, they could not withstand the overdraft of the absorption of energy. In the end … they still showed signs of withering.
Obviously, this was related to the Emperor's problem. He needed a large amount of life force to maintain himself. This caused the batteries to not have time to recover and gradually die.
Now, less than ten percent of them were still alive.
"Perhaps, it is also related to me …" Wang Baole murmured in his heart.
It seemed that the Emperor did not expect all of this to happen. Perhaps according to his original plan, he would have succeeded in retrieving all of his Divine Sense before his subordinates rebelled. Or perhaps even if they rebelled, he would have succeeded in completing himself without waiting for them to die.
But obviously, the accident had caused the Emperor's Divine Sense to be incomplete even now.
In the silence, Wang Baole heard the sound of breathing in the distance again. After a while, Wang Baole suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart and waved gently at the memory scene before him.
With this wave of his hand, the memories shattered and turned into countless sparkling fragments. They spread out like butterflies and filled the entire darkness, causing light to appear in this pitch-black land.
In this light, Wang Baole saw a huge staircase in the distance. At the top of the staircase, there was a starry sky.
The star map was unfamiliar and did not belong to this Great Universe.
Below the star map, at the end of the staircase, there was a huge chair. At this moment … a figure was sitting on the chair.
He rested his chin on one hand and reclined on the chair, as if he were sleeping …. Only the faint sound of his breathing could be heard echoing out in the quiet palace hall.
As the butterfly-like fragments flew through the air and illuminated the area, Wang Baole looked up and finally saw the figure sitting on the chair. He wore a long violet robe and had a head of white hair. Although his eyes were closed, his features were exactly the same as Wang Baole's. This caused the complicated feelings in Wang Baole's heart … to spread through his entire body.
The Emperor and Meng Hao were originally one. They were … new life forms formed after the fleshly body of an almighty being fused with the strange black wood.
Wang Baole stared at the figure.
After a long time, a soft sigh echoed out in the palace hall. Then, the figure sitting on the chair slowly opened his eyes.
His vision was pitch black!
