"A calamity that lasted for twelve eras, huh?"
Chu Kuangren murmured.
An eras was one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years.
Twelve eras, that was more than a million years ago.
What kind of calamity could last until now?!
Zi Wuji and the others could not imagine it. They felt that they had come into contact with the deepest secrets of this world.
"A long time ago, a group of extraterrestrial visitors appeared outside Firmament Star. They called themselves the Blood Tribe, and their goal was to enslave Firmament Star and turn us into their slaves."
"Because of this, the Emperors and the Blood Tribe started a war. In the end, they stopped the Blood Tribe from entering Firmament Star, but they also paid a huge price. Aside from the sacrifices of countless sages, the Heavenly Dao was also damaged during that war, and it deteriorated day by day."
"As the number of Emperors decreased, the Postcelestial Daos entered a dormant period in order to recover its strength and repair itself. After many years of self-evolution, it gradually recovered and formed nine Emperor Thrones in one go. This is also the real reason why there were no Emperors in recent times!"
"The extraterrestrial battlefield is where we fought the Blood Tribe. It's located outside Firmament Star, so it's called the extraterrestrial battlefield."
The Star Condensation Emperor explained.
Everyone was shocked. Although the Star Condensation Emperor did not say much, the information contained in his words was extremely huge.
Chu Kuangren was also deep in thought.
The Blood Tribe first appeared twelve eras ago, which was probably when the War of Defiance Gods had just ended.
Was it because of the Blood Tribe's invasion that the Emperors did not have the chance to rescue the Chaos Daoist Lord, causing him to be trapped until now?
"Are the Emperors in the extraterrestrial battlefield?" Chu Kuangren asked again.
"Some of them are guarding the Nine Heavens. The Nine Heavens is a space created by the Emperors, and it's also one of our lines of defense against the Blood Tribe."
"The reason we came to Firmament Star this time is to make arrangements. After all, now that the Heavenly Dao has recovered, more Emperors will be born in the future, and we will guide them here."
"Besides, the most important thing is to keep an eye on the deities that are sealed here. We must not let them create chaos."
The Star Condensation Emperor said.
"Deities? What are they? The God of Light? "
Zi Wuji asked curiously.
He felt that what he had seen and heard today was too much. He estimated that he would need some time to digest it when he returned.
"The God of Light is just one of them. Before resisting the Blood Kindred, there was a war against the gods. Like the Blood Kindred, the gods who tried to enslave the human race were defeated and sealed in the endless void. The seal has been gone for a long time, and with the recovery of the Heavenly Axiom, we are afraid that these gods will break the seal, so we came here to guard."
Star Transformation Great Emperor answered everyone's questions.
Then, he waved his hand.
A gigantic 2D map appeared before everyone's eyes, and there were many places on this map that Chu Kuangren was familiar with.
For example, the Ten Great Forbidden Grounds, the encampments of the various great orthodoxies, and so on.
This was the map of the Firmament Star.
"Alright, let's discuss the place we will be looking after." Star Transformation Great Emperor smiled.
Chu Kuangren did not know if it was an illusion, but he noticed that the Emperors' eyes lit up the moment the Firmament Star's map appeared.
"The ocean is the Kirin Tribe's territory, so let me look after the ocean," Emperor North Darknorth of the Kirin Tribe said.
"That won't do. There are at least twenty gods sealed in the ocean. How can you look after all of them alone? Let me look after half of the ocean for you," one of the Emperors said.
"There's no need for that. I can handle it alone."
"Of course. How can I let you do it alone?"
"Then let me look after the Nether Abyss Valley, with a radius of eight million kilometers."
"The Nether Abyss Valley has a radius of eight million kilometers? Heh, you sure are arrogant. I'll give you a maximum of four million kilometers. "
"This place is not bad. It's rich in spiritual qi. After the recovery of the Heavenly Axiom, it will definitely give birth to many treasures. Ahem, no, the god that was sealed here is very powerful. It's a ferocious deity, so let me look after it."
The Emperors were planning out the places they were going to look after, but Chu Kuangren and the others felt a little strange watching from the side.
That was because these people did not look like they were going to complete a mission. Instead, they looked more like … they were dividing territories?!
That's right, they were dividing territories!
The more Chu Kuangren looked at them, the more he felt that way. Did these Emperors come to the Firmament Star to divide their territories?!
"Brother Chu, the Black Heaven Sect is your orthodoxy, right? That place of yours isn't very good. There are three gods sealed within a radius of seven million kilometers. Why don't you let me look after it for you?"
At that moment, an elegant white-robed man said to Chu Kuangren.
"Hmph, Brother Bai, didn't you say that you're going to look after the Soaring Snow Mountain? Why are you eyeing the Black Heaven Sect now? Brother Chu, my cultivation level is higher than his, so let me look after it for you. "
"Stop fooling around, you two. Both of you have your own territories to look after. Brother Chu and I will be in charge of the Black Heaven Sect."
The few Emperors surrounded Chu Kuangren and kept arguing. They looked like they wanted to share Chu Kuangren's burden.
Murong Xuan and Lan Yu looked at them strangely.
Chu Kuangren had a mocking look on his face. He felt like he had understood something.
"Everyone, the Black Heaven Sect is my orthodoxy, so you don't have to worry about it. Lan Yu, Murong Xuan, let's leave."
Chu Kuangren said and was about to leave with his people.
"Hold on, Brother Chu. The gods sealed near the Black Heaven Sect are not to be underestimated. You've just ascended to the Emperor realm, so I'm afraid they won't be easy to deal with. Let me look after them for you."
The scholarly man in white robes said relentlessly.
"There's no need for that."
"Brother Chu, please reconsider."
The white-robed man's expression darkened as he said.
Murong Xuan and Lan Yu were even more confused.
'What are these Emperors up to?!'
'Why are they so obsessed with the Black Heaven Sect? Is there anything that they value?' 'Is it because of those sealed gods?'
"Since we've already said so much, there's no need for you guys to be so secretive anymore. Let's get to the point. The reason why you guys came to Firmament Star is because of the resources here, am I right?" Chu Kuangren asked.
The Emperors' eyes flickered, and the place suddenly became quiet.
"What kind of resources are there on the Firmament Star that the Emperors are so interested in?"
Zi Wuji asked, puzzled.
"Heh, there might not be any now, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. The Heavenly Dao has been revived, and the spiritual qi between the heavens and earth has become more abundant. As the origin of the Heavenly Dao, the Firmament Star's advantage is not something a man-made space like the Nine Heavens can compare to. There are bound to be all kinds of treasures and Opportunities of Fortune in different places."
"Perhaps it's true that you've come to the Firmament Star to look after the gods' sealed grounds, but I'm sure it's more for the treasures and Opportunities of Fortune that will be born in the future. The places that you've chosen are mostly places with abundant spiritual qi in the Firmament Star, because the chances of treasures and Opportunities of Fortune being born in these places are higher."
"As for why you're so obsessed with the Black Heaven Sect, it's because the Black Heaven Sect is the dwelling place of the Godly Phoenix. The Godly Phoenix is a divine beast loved by the heavens and earth, and she possesses great fortune. The place where she resides is even more prosperous, so there's a higher chance of treasures being born."
"I wonder if I'm right?"
Chu Kuangren said.
A hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
'So these are the Emperors?'
He had learned from the Chaos Daoist Lord that many human sages had fought valiantly for the freedom of the human race against the gods.
To him, those sages were the true Emperors.
As for these so-called Emperors in front of him …
They were using the name of looking after the gods for personal gain, but they still acted so secretive, as if they were afraid that others would see through them.
'Heh, I can't even be bothered to spend another minute with them.'
