The other side of the river of time was the entrance to the Immortal World.
The entrance to the Immortal World was shrouded in immortal mist, making it hard to see clearly. However, it didn't affect the three guardians at all.
The three of them didn't enter the Immortal World. Instead, they stood quietly in the river of time, waiting.
While the three of them were waiting, the immortal mist at the entrance to the Immortal World suddenly rippled.
Then, three silhouettes gradually appeared from the mist.
Scarlet Flame Immortal Emperor was wearing a fiery red robe that looked like swaying flames. His red hair danced in the wind and the flame mark on his forehead seemed to be alive as it kept twisting.
Beside Scarlet Flame Immortal Emperor was a man in a green robe that was embroidered with lotus flowers. A three-foot green sword hung from his waist. The green sword didn't look special at all. It looked like a decorative sword worn by scholars.
However, the three guardians looked very serious. This man was one of the three giants of the Immortal World, Green Emperor. He was also the earliest Immortal Emperor in the Immortal World. He was much earlier than Scarlet Flame Immortal Emperor and Scarlet Flame Immortal Emperor.
Green Emperor's strength was unfathomable. Even Scarlet Flame Immortal Emperor didn't know the exact strength of Green Emperor.
The last person was wearing a golden robe that was embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon. He had a majestic aura as if he was a Godly King from the Nine Heavens.
This person was Dragon Emperor, an Immortal Emperor who was second only to Green Emperor. He was much earlier than Scarlet Flame Immortal Emperor.
Scarlet Flame Immortal Emperor and Dragon Emperor were both Monster Race. Only Green Emperor was a human. However, they couldn't suppress Green Emperor. For billions of years, they had fought with Green Emperor both openly and secretly. They had never gained the upper hand. Green Emperor was very strong and most of the Immortals in the Immortal World were humans. Therefore, Dragon Emperor and Scarlet Flame Immortal Emperor could only develop in peace with Green Emperor.
This time, Scarlet Flame Immortal Emperor informed Green Emperor and Dragon Emperor when he discovered the drastic changes in Elysium. The three of them worked together and deduced that someone had secretly altered the spacetime to deceive them. What they saw in Elysium was fake.
The three of them could see the Elysium from the Immortal World because the Immortals on Elysium had ordered them to open the Immortal Pillars to see what was happening in the Lower Realm.
However, the three guards also had their own methods. They used their supreme magic power to forcefully distort the backup plan set up by the Scarlet Flame Immortal Emperor and the others.
The Green Emperor looked at the three guards indifferently and said coldly, "Di Yongxin, back then, the three of us chose you to guard the Immortalization Road for us. We didn't expect that you would use the resources we gave you to break through to the Ancestor realm and become our enemy. Do you think that you can go against us just because you've broken through to the Ancestor realm?"
Di Yongxin was the name of the Road Protector. Before he became the Road Protector, Di Yongxin's secular name was this. After he became the Road Protector, Di Yongxin did follow the instructions of the Green Emperor and the other two and diligently guarded the Road of Immortalization.
However, once a person was strong enough, their ego would grow. Di Yongxin was no exception. Due to his duty, the Green Emperor and the other two were afraid that he would not be able to guard the path to immortality. Therefore, they each took out some of their Origin Energy and gave it to Di Yongxin to increase his strength.
However, they did not expect that Di Yongxin's talent was so high that he secretly broke through to the Ancestor realm by relying on the resources given to him by the Green Emperor and the other two.
After reaching the Ancestor realm, Di Yongxin would no longer be willing to be under others. He knew that it was impossible for him to contend against the Green Emperor and the other two by himself. Therefore, he left behind a doppelganger to confuse the Green Emperor and the other two while secretly looking for helpers.
By chance, Di Yongxin came to Elysium. Due to his intuition as an expert, he found Dao Sovereign and Buddha. The three of them hit it off immediately. Dao Sovereign and Buddha, who were already resentful of the Immortal World, agreed to Di Yongxin's proposal without hesitation.
After that, they began their plan. Today, when the Immortal Opportunity on Elysium opened, their plan began to be carried out.
However, the reason they went against the Green Emperor and the other two wasn't just to sabotage their plan. They were also after the item on Elysium.
Di Yongxin was unmoved by the Green Emperor's show of strength. "Green Emperor, everyone knows that while you are using me, you are also seeking benefits for yourselves. The origin energy in the Immortal World is dwindling. If you want to continue increasing your strength, you have to stop the ascension from the lower realms. After so many years, I have not helped a single person to ascend successfully. Most of the origin energy has been divided equally among the three of you. Don't tell me that I haven't done enough?"
The origin energy was too important to an Immortal. An Immortal's body required the support of the origin energy. After all, an Immortal's body was immortal. The amount of energy needed to maintain it was enormous.
There were also experts in the mortal world who were comparable to Immortals. However, most of them had turned into dust and disappeared in the long river of history.
If given a choice, everyone would rather choose not to increase their strength in order to live forever.
No one could face death calmly. Even a Ninth Firmament True God expert couldn't sit back and watch death come.
If it was Shenlang, he wouldn't be able to face death calmly if he knew that his lifespan would be exhausted in the near future.
However, the Immortals had chosen to live forever. This caused their strength to increase slowly.
The Immortal Body required a large amount of Origin Energy in order for it to become stronger and stronger. Without the Origin Energy, their strength would stagnate and not improve at all.
There were gains and losses. Although the Immortals had obtained the right to live forever, they were also restricted by their strength.
After all, while the mortal world relied on the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth, the Immortals relied on the origin energy.
Although the origin energy was powerful, it was extremely scarce. Even the Immortal World, which was one of the top existential planes in the universe, was gradually decreasing with the passage of time.
"Hmph! This is your duty. We looked for you to fulfill this duty. Now that you have rebelled, you are in the wrong. Let's cut the crap. Since we can help you, we can also destroy you."
The Dragon Emperor exuded a majestic aura. As his voice fell, the river of time began to vibrate, as though it was fluctuating with the Dragon Emperor's mood.
The Dragon Emperor was an ancient Golden Dragon. He had the unique aura of the Dragon Clan. His words could be said to be the law. Every word and action of his could trigger changes in heaven and earth.
"Amitabha. Dragon Emperor, all living beings are equal. There is no distinction between high and low. What Benefactor Di has done has already repaid your kindness. How can there be any talk of rebelling?"
Sakyamuni Buddha put his palms together and lamented.
