There was a tall and sturdy figure in Hall of Human Emperors. Qin Mu walked up the stairs of this shrine, and the chest followed behind him. Qin Mu raised his hand, and the chest stopped outside the hall. It retracted its limbs and landed on the ground.
The chest opened up a crack, and in it, the Dragon Unicorn rolled its eyes around. When it saw that there were desolate graves all around, it gave it some thought and still crawled out with difficulty. It stuck its belly to the ground and carefully followed Qin Mu. Its tail was also lowered very low, but it didn't dare to touch the ground as it was afraid it would make a sound.
Suddenly, the Dragon Unicorn felt something stepping on its tail, and it gave off a miserable shriek. The fur and scales on its body all stood up.
Qin Mu turned back to stare at it, and the Dragon Unicorn hurriedly stuffed its claws into its mouth. Only then did it stop making a sound.
He looked back and saw the chest following behind him. It was this thing that had stepped on its tail and scared it half to death.
Qin Mu's head hurt, and he wanted to chase them out. However, he felt that it was inappropriate to chase them out in such a sacred and solemn place, so he could only brace himself and let them follow behind him. He said in a low voice, "If you two continue to fool around, one of you will chop firewood and the other will go to the table to eat meat!"
He came to the back of the figure, and only then did he realize that he wasn't shorter than the other party. He was still growing, so he was only an inch shorter than the other party.
However, the figure gave him an extremely tall and big impression. This was the impact that the aura and temperament brought to his soul.
This figure was First Ancestor Human Emperor. Qin Mu had once seen his stone statue in Koyu-kyo.
"You are the thirty-sixth human emperor, right?"
First Ancestor turned his head to take a look at him. This was a man who looked to be in his thirties. He had a full beard and looked very robust, giving people an extremely dependable feeling.
"I'm the thirty-seventh."
Qin Mu said, "Village Chief is my master, and he was the one who brought me in. This is my first time here."
He looked forward and was slightly stunned. Only then did he realize what First Ancestor Human Emperor was looking at.
There were rows and rows of bookshelves, and there were countless books on them. The space in Hall of Human Emperors was huge, but it wasn't decorated with gold and jade like Qin Mu had imagined. There were no tall and majestic god statues, and there was no extravagance at all.
Qin Mu walked forward and casually picked up a book. The handwriting on it was unfamiliar, but he could feel a familiar sword intent from the words.
This was a book written by the village chief.
This book was Village Chief discussing the techniques and divine arts of Star Sovereign Qiao of High Heavens. He had crossed swords with Star Sovereign Qiao many times, and in the book, he discussed the pros and cons of Star Sovereign Qiao's various techniques and divine arts, studying their flaws.
Qin Mu put down this book and picked up another one. This book had Jade Monarch's techniques and divine arts, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. He roughly flipped through the other books and found that most of them were experiences related to the cultivation methods and divine arts of the High Heavens.
Qin Mu even found Sword Picture, which was a huge stack of scrolls. Village Chief had recorded how to cultivate his Sword Picture, the circulation of every sword skill, and the conception. It was obvious that he had prepared it for the future generations.
He came to the second bookshelf, and the handwriting on it was filled with majestic atmosphere. There was a surging feeling like a volcano was erupting, so it should have been written by Human Emperor Qi Kang.
These books also described the pros and cons of the techniques of the gods of High Heavens, as well as the solutions he had deduced. Other than that, there were also Human Emperor Qi Kang's own techniques and divine arts.
However, Human Emperor Qi Kang had written in the book that those who cultivated his techniques were all idiots. He had never won against the gods of High Heavens in his entire life, so cultivating his techniques would only lead to walking his old path. It was obvious that he was very discouraged.
'No wonder every generation of human emperors didn't cultivate their master's techniques and had to stubbornly find a new technique.' Qin Mu suddenly understood the past human emperors of Fengdu.
They were all failures. They didn't want their disciples to walk the same path as them. The reason why they left their cultivation methods behind was probably because it was their life's work. They wanted to have a successor, but they couldn't pass it on to their own disciples.
This was probably the biggest regret in their lives.
"The books on these bookshelves are all Strategies to Flatten High Heavens."
First Ancestor Human Emperor walked over and caressed the books on the bookshelves. "They all saw High Heavens as their biggest opponent and used their life's work to flatten High Heavens. It's a pity that they all failed. You can stay here and study for a period of time. It will help you open up your own path. "
Qin Mu shook his head and said, "More than half of the gods of High Heavens have died, and the four sovereigns of High Heavens have all died in battle. High Heavens is no longer a threat. Other than the techniques of the past human emperors, most of the books on this bookshelf are useless. My goal isn't the gods of High Heavens, and I also don't want to flatten High Heavens. "
First Ancestor Human Emperor revealed a look of astonishment and looked at him. "What is your goal?"
Qin Mu looked straight into the eyes of this predecessor and said solemnly, "My goal is to tear apart this fake sky and reform this unfair world. I want to make progress through reform and recreate a flourishing age that doesn't belong to Founding Emperor!"
His gaze was fervent as he said loudly, "First Ancestor, is this also your goal?"
"No."
First Ancestor's gaze dimmed, and he shook his head. "I don't have such lofty ideals like you. I've already been worn down by time and enemies. You are still young, and you still have drive. I'm just a disheartened old man. Sooner or later, time will wear you down, and so will your enemies. When that time comes, you will come to Hall of Human Emperors and leave a letter like the other human emperors. You will write down your failures and hope that your descendants can do what you can't do. "
His voice was slightly cold, and it became crueler and crueler. "You are a failure, just like them. You will quietly build a straw hut and sit there in despair. You don't want your successor to walk the same path as you, but the responsibility of the human emperor will force you to find a successor. You will shed tears of regret in the straw hut, and you will hate the master you respect. You will carve a tablet for yourself and write down your failures on it. "
