This memory was the missing part that Wang Baole had seen before!
The Emperor's plan had partially succeeded. He had successfully attracted the Wood Tribulation and kept it in his glabella. At the same time, he had split his one hundred thousand divine consciousnesses to devour the Black Wood Spikes.
However, in the end, after successfully absorbing ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine divine consciousnesses, due to the uniqueness of this universe and the fusion of the Immortals, he had failed with Wang Baole.
The remnant soul that had turned into Wang Baole had become completely independent, making it impossible for the Emperor to fuse with it … If the Emperor had been given a certain amount of time, he might have been able to think of other ways to solve the problem.
Or perhaps, if he was in a normal state, he could have come out of seclusion again and personally gone to rectify everything according to what he knew. He could have forcibly fused with it and made himself whole.
However … it was not only Wang Baole who had an accident. The Emperor himself … had an accident as well.
This accident was a huge problem that had happened to him. It was what the Emperor had said: desire!
The truth of the six desires.
In fact, although the Emperor's memory had not fully recovered, as the one hundred thousand divine consciousnesses returned one by one, some fragmented images had appeared in his mind.
Although these images were not complete and could not be of any use, and it was difficult for him to piece them together, there were still a few fragmented images that he could barely piece together.
Thus … one day, in the Emperor's memory, he thought of a person.
It was a woman called Desire. He had a vague impression that his death in his previous life was indirectly related to this woman called Desire.
At the same time, he had a vague feeling that after his death in his previous life, this woman called Desire had set up a backup plan on his corpse.
She wanted to take control of him.
As time passed, this backup plan did not appear when the Emperor was in a normal state. When he attracted the Wood Tribulation and his body was in an extremely weak state, the power of Desire was like a poisonous snake that had been waiting for a long time, silently revealing itself.
Then, something happened to Wang Baole, causing the Emperor to take a longer time to absorb the Wood Tribulation, and he was unable to complete it. In addition, Law came a second time and tried to challenge him. All of this caused the Emperor's injuries to worsen. As the hidden Desire quietly spread, it seemed to have accumulated enough power to erupt in an instant!
The eruption of Desire was the power of the seven emotions and six desires. It entangled the Emperor's soul and body, corroding and tormenting him, gradually trying to control him.
At the same time, it affected his subordinates in Origin Universe Dao Kong, causing all the generals' desires to erupt and start a rebellion.
In fact, this was the reason why the seven emotions and six desires appeared in Origin Universe Dao Kong.
Next, the Emperor, who was affected by Desire, struggled between reason and desire to suppress Origin Universe Dao Kong. Those who were once his subordinates were tortured and ravaged by him. Even those who surrendered were cursed by him. The reason for all of this was that the Emperor wanted to release his Desire!
If he did not release it, he would completely sink into oblivion.
Therefore, the third layer of Burial Earth appeared. All the people he killed were buried there. At the same time, those generals were turned into batteries by him because … to fight against Desire, he needed more life.
As for the second layer of Burial Earth, it was a … garbage dump that the Emperor had set up to fight against his Desire!
That place was a garbage dump of emotions.
He gave the people who surrendered to him different Desires. He let the people in the second layer of Burial Earth cultivate their Desires so that … they could help him share the burden!
It was equivalent to creating another source. Only then could his Desire be continuously sent to the past, giving him a chance to recover.
In truth, the first layer of Burial Earth was deliberately separated from the second layer by the Emperor. He wanted to completely seal the second layer of Burial Earth so that the Desire in it would not seep into the first layer of Burial Earth.
If he went into seclusion in the first layer of Burial Earth, it would be much safer.
At the same time, the seal in the second layer of Burial Earth was one-sided. In other words, the Desire in the second layer could not seep into the first layer of Burial Earth, but the Desire in the first layer could be sent into the second layer of Burial Earth.
Therefore, in the countless years that followed, the Emperor would send his Desire, which he could not suppress, to the second layer of Burial Earth at a fixed time. He used this method to relieve the pressure on him.
At the same time, he silently waited for an opportunity. He did not give up. He still hoped that one day, he would be able to suppress his Desire so that he would not be controlled. He still hoped that one day, he would be able to fuse with the last wisp of his soul outside and complete himself.
Therefore, he was unwilling to give up, and this unwillingness matched his Desire. Therefore, to prevent his Desire from becoming too strong, the Emperor separated the Desire in the second layer of Burial Earth and turned it into the seven emotions.
However, the effect did not seem to be very good.
Just like that, as time passed, even though he had prepared all the ways to vent his Desire, the long period of weakness caused the Emperor's Desire to grow stronger and stronger. No matter how he vented, he could not suppress the speed of his Desire's growth.
This caused him to be in a daze most of the time, and there were not many times when he would actually wake up.
This made the Emperor realize … that he had completely failed.
Because in this state, unless Wang Baole chose to fuse with his Desire and gave up on everything, he would not be able to devour Wang Baole if there was even the slightest obstruction.
Moreover … according to the Emperor's judgment, even if he used some method to successfully devour the last wisp of Burial Earth's soul, it would be very difficult for him to suppress his Desire when he was controlled by Desire.
Therefore, he said so much to Wang Baole. Therefore, he showed this memory to Wang Baole. Therefore, in the end, he said … you are too late. I have failed.
He had lost to fate, and he had also lost to time.
The moment the door to the first layer of Burial Earth was pushed open, and the Law of Desire from the second layer of Burial Earth entered, the Emperor had completely lost all hope.
This was also the reason why the Protector, Xuan Chen, asked the same question three times in front of the door.
"Have you thought it through clearly?"
This "you" referred to both Wang Baole and the Emperor.
Although the one who answered him was the former, in Xuan Chen's opinion, the former and the latter were the same person. Therefore, he did not stop him in the end. Instead, he made way for him.
Wang Baole had a complicated expression on his face. He slowly retracted his hand that was touching the light spot in the memory. He raised his head and looked at the Emperor, who was surrounded by a black fog that was getting thicker and thicker. It even completely enveloped his body, making him look very blurry.
