Six days passed in the blink of an eye. Atop the Grand Evolution Mountain.
Everyone was resting in silence, but their emotions were becoming increasingly restless. After all, tomorrow would be the day of eternal night, and their fates would be revealed!
Be that as it may, compared to the others who were holding their breaths and going all out, Final Magic Sword, Dumbo, Little Bastard, Akira Yuki, Xingqing, and the others appeared much more relaxed, and did not consider tomorrow to be a big deal at all!
What was there to worry about when the outcome was inevitable?
Amongst them, Final Magic Sword, Dumbo, Little Bastard, and Xingqing even gathered together to play the Sky Luo Cards!
The Sky Luo Cards was an ancient game in the Central imperial realm. Unlike the bets at the Greencloud Lower Continent, the average person could not afford to play the Sky Luo Cards because each card contained profound power. Most people would not be able to pick up a card, let alone play it!
Even if they could pick it up, their entire body would be sucked dry by the card in their hand in the instant they played it, and they would die on the spot!
Dumbo was a proper fan of the Sky Luo Cards back in the day, and had a complete deck of them. Therefore, since he had nothing to do over the last seven days, he had pulled Final Magic Sword, Little Bastard, and Xingqing the Kunpeng to play the Sky Luo Cards to kill time!
At first, Dumbo had wanted to pull Akira Yuki, Xuan Luo, and Nangong Wen into the game as well, but Akira Yuki was not interested and had to give up!
Xuan Luo and Nangong Wen wanted to join as well, but they were well aware of the level and power needed to play the Sky Luo Cards. They could not afford to play at their current level, which was why they could only watch helplessly from a corner as Dumbo and the others played!
As for the Little Bastard, with the Little Bastard's current strength, logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to play the Tianluo Cards. However, the Little Bastard shamelessly approached Xiao Fan and Xiao Fan casually drew a formation on his body. Then, the Little Bastard could play the Tianluo Cards!
The others also wanted to learn from the Little Bastard and shamelessly ask Xiao Fan to engrave a formation on their bodies. However, they were unable to do so. Moreover, the formation engraved by Xiao Fan required an extremely strong body to engrave. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of the formation. In the end, they could only give up.
"Light of Annihilation!" Finally, the Magic Sword threw out a Heavenly Luo Card!
"Eternal Physique!" The Little Bastard chuckled and also threw out a Heavenly Luo Card.
"Pull of Ten Thousand Daos!" Xing Qing wordlessly threw out a Heavenly Luo Card as well!
It was Dumbo's turn to play a card. There was a smug smile on Dumbo's black-and-white dog face. Clearly, the card in its hand could kill everyone.
Be that as it may!
Just as it raised the card in its hand and was about to throw it out, it suddenly glanced at the edge of the horizon from the corner of its eyes. Then, as if it noticed something, its entire body froze as if it was struck by lightning!
"Have you lost your mind?" Finally, the Magic Sword unceremoniously kicked Dumbo and said with a sidelong glance.
In a rare move, Dumbo ignored the Magic Sword and simply threw down the Heavenly Luo Card in its hand. Then, in a flash, it appeared beside Xiao Fan and said with a flattering look, "My lord, I think I know where the Human Emperor is!"
"Eh?" Dumbo's words drew everyone's attention from the peak of the Great Evolution Mountain. Xiao Fan promptly opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise!
"You know where Ye Ke 'er is?" Xiao Fan stared at Dumbo, his gaze seemingly solid. Although his voice was calm, it clearly contained boundless pressure.
And under Xiao Fan's solid gaze, Dumbo instantly shuddered. Its teeth chattered noisily, and its black-and-white dog face was filled with terror.
"So scary, so scary!" Dumbo did not dare to look up at Xiao Fan, and could only howl wildly inwardly. "This feels exactly the same as when the Human Emperor looked at me back then. How could such a frightening existence be born in this era? How could a dog live? "
"I-I'll start from the beginning!" Dumbo gulped and looked up at Xiao Fan with much difficulty. Then, with a fawning look, it said, "As I said before, the seventy-two lower states were not separated in that era. Instead, they were a single piece, and it was the Human Emperor Ye Ke 'er's private territory!"
Xiao Fan nodded, but said nothing.
"The seventy-two lower states had changed drastically in this era. If I hadn't stayed in the Human Emperor's private palace on Sky Phase Island, I wouldn't know where it is now!" Dumbo continued. "Even so, no matter how the seventy-two lower states changed, there are three places that would never change!"
"The first was the Human King's palace. In that era, millions and millions of creatures came to worship the Human King. The second was the Human King's private palace. It was the Human King's boudoir, used for rest and relaxation. The third was the Human King's birthplace!"
"The reason why the seventy-two lower states are the Human Emperor's territories is because she was born here, and it is her homeland!"
"As for the place where he was born, the Human King attached great importance to it. As a result, no matter how much time passed, no matter how much the seventy-two provinces changed, only these three places would never change their positions!"
"And now, the Grand Yan Ancient Land where we are is the Human Emperor's birthplace!"
"How are you so sure that the Grand Yan Ancient Land is Ye Ke 'er's birthplace?" Xiao Fan's eyes turned immeasurably deep at Dumbo's words as he asked.
"Because when I was playing the Heavenly Luo Cards just now, I inadvertently noticed that the terrain of the Great Evolution Ancient Land is a terrain drawn by 10,000 Daos. Since ancient times, there has only been one person who could set up the terrain drawn by 10,000 Daos, and that is the Human King!
"Moreover, I heard that the Human Emperor had only done it three times, and I've seen two of them. Now that I think about it, it's either in the Middle Prefecture or the Upper Prefecture — either way, it's not in the Human Emperor's homeland!"
"That's the third one, and it's in the Human Emperor's homeland. Moreover, the Human Emperor's palace and private palace did not need such a terrain, and the Human Emperor's birthplace was the most suitable!"
"That is because the ten thousand Dao drawing terrain is rumored to completely change the foundations of a land, elevating and changing the level of every being living on that land. There are great benefits!"
"It makes sense that the Human Emperor would place ten thousand Dao drawing terrain at his birthplace!"
"On the other hand, the ten thousand Dao drawing terrain is Ye Ke 'er's unique technique, and no one else could do it!" In the end, Magic Sword turned toward Xiao Fan and nodded in affirmation. "Still, I've only heard of such terrain and have never seen it with my own eyes. That is why I can't be sure if Dumbo is telling the truth!"
"If I'm lying, you can twist my head off and kick it around like a ball!" Dumbo yelled.
Xiao Fan said nothing, but his gaze became even more profound.
"I'm not finished!" Dumbo continued, his voice becoming agitated. "I'm very sure that the Grand Yan Ancient Land is the Human Emperor's birthplace!"
"If that's the case, the Grand Yan Mountain must be a piece of the Human Emperor's flesh as I've guessed before!"
"That's because I've incidentally learned a secret rumor about the Human Emperor!"
"It is said that when the Human King finally rose to power, he attracted the attention of several terrifying existences to kill him. One of these terrifying existences who wanted to kill the Human King didn't hesitate to lower his own status and attack the Human King's birthplace, wiping out trillions of humans!"
"With that, he hoped to destroy the Human Emperor's foundation and cut off his ascension!"
"Unfortunately, the Human Emperor still managed to ascend!"
"Still, even if the Human Emperor killed his enemies in retaliation and paid for the billions of humans within a thousand-mile radius of his birthplace, they would never be revived!"
"Therefore, the Human King must have chopped off a piece of his own flesh and placed it here. His purpose was to cooperate with the Myriad Daos to draw in the terrain to nourish the remnant consciousness fragments of these billions of human beings. He hoped that some of them could come back from the dead and come back to life!"
"There's no telling if it actually succeeded in the end, but it definitely wouldn't be beyond my current speculation!"
"I've heard of that secret rumor as well!" In the end, the Magic Sword spoke again and slowly said, "That's why even if there's no concrete proof for Dumbo's speculation, it must be the truth!"
"The Grand Yan Mountain is a piece of the Human Emperor's flesh, and after billions of years, it finally became an immortal mountain!" Dumbo exclaimed in awe. "But even after billions of years, that piece of flesh still has a final bit of spirituality!"
"That's why anyone who ascends the Grand Yan Mountain would lose all their cultivation in three to five years as the price for standing as the Human Emperor's flesh!"
"Looking at the entire world, only the Human King's methods would be so gentle!"
"If anyone else dared to set foot on their own flesh, dying on the spot would be the least of it, but it would be normal for all clansmen with blood to die instantly!"
"And then there's the Heavenspan River!"
"The source of the Heavenspan River is the Grand Yan Ancient Lands, and the heart of the Grand Yan Ancient Lands is the Human Emperor's flesh. That's why the Heavenspan River's origins aren't hard to explain — it's the condensation of the Human Emperor's blood!"
"Only the blood of a Human King can give birth to all kinds of evil undying and indestructible creatures after leaving the body!"
"Still, it seems that the Human Emperor had placed a piece of his flesh here, but he had treated it as well, and the blood that flowed out was just the most ordinary blood without any blood essence!"
"Otherwise, what the Heavenspan River is nurturing today wouldn't be low-level undying creatures such as soul-devouring ghosts, but the most powerful of undying creatures that could devour everything in the Upper Prefecture, slaughtering all things!"
"The seventy-two lower prefectures have long since become a land of despair, and there simply wouldn't be so many people living here!"
