Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 247

"Of course the First Emperor secretly spread it to the human tribes in an attempt for the human race to rise against their oppressors," replied Wu Hong. "Unfortunately for him, the vast difference between the Human Race and Primordial Races was simply too great.

Wang Wei nodded before saying with a sneer: "I can guess what happened next; Heavenly Dao interfered again, didn’t?"

"That’s correct."

Wang Wei snorted, "This thing seemed to be everywhere."

Wu Hong just gave a side look before continuing: "Knowing that the future of the world lied with the human race, Heavenly Dao then created the First Heaven Will, and basically granted it to the First Emperor. That way, the Heaven Opening Emperor not only became the First Great Emperor of this world, but also the first Eternal Emperor."

Wang Wei was not surprised that the First Emperor was an Eternal Emperor, and this was not because he was the first person to become a Great Emperor. After hearing the term Eternal Emperor, he did some research on these individuals--especially the most recent of them: the Heaven Devour Emperor.

One thing that he noticed was that Eternal Emperors seemed to have some ability of being omnipresent. For example, although all the cultivators in the world tried to erase the Heaven Devour Emperor from the historical records, everyone still knows that he is a Great Emperor.

As long as a cultivator reached a certain level of cultivation, it seemed that they would instantly know that this Great Emperor existed; it was like he was unforgettable, or that his existence was forever ingrained in the annals of history, for eternity.

The same thing can be said about the Heaven Opening Emperor; every cultivator in the world knows that he was the First Great Emperor in the world and started the Era of Emperor in this world--without anyone even telling them.

Another example of this phenomena that Wang Wei noticed was regarding dragons and phoenixes. Every time he reads any records regarding these creatures, he will instinctively know that they were Innate Creatures that once lived in the Primordial Era.

After reigning in his thoughts, Wang Wei then asked: "What happened next? I’m guessing that being an Eternal Emperor, the Heaven Opening Emperor led the human race from the oppression of the other races?"

Wu Hong paused for a moment, then she said: "Unfortunately, you are wrong. Even being an Eternal Emperor could not save the human race, at least on its own. The leaders of the Primordial Races were not in any way inferior to an Eternal Emperor. Not to mention the Patriarch of the Dragon Race, Qilin Race, White Tiger Race and the Matriarch of the Phoenix--which were the leaders of the Innate Demon race--were also on part with an Eternal Race."

Wang Wei was a little surprised. ’It seems that my previous notion of Eternal Emperors being invincible among other Great Emperors and beings on that level might be wrong.’

"So, what happened next? Obviously the human race survived somehow, so how did it happen?"

"Well, after the First Emperor proved the Dao, Heavenly Dao kept lowering Heaven Will after a certain period of time, thus creating many Great Emperors for the human race."

"Wait, you mean..." asked Wang Wei with an incredible look on his face.

"That’s correct. The Beginning Emperor Era was an age where many Great Emperors walked the world at the same time," replied Wu Hong calmly.

After taking a few seconds to process this news, he asked: "None of them, you know," then he motioned his head upward.

"Back then, the concept of Ascension was not very prevailing due to the fact that the spiritual qi between Heaven and Earth was very abundant, thus allowing these Great Emperors to cultivate with a peace of mind. Additionally, the human race needed their support and help. So, only a few of them actually left."

Wang Wei sighed as he imagined what it would be like to live in a world where so many Great Emperors walked the world and competed with another; well, maybe in the future, he still has the chance.

Then, a question suddenly appeared in his mind: "What about Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables, did these existences exist back then?"

"Yes," replied. "The realm of Dao Ancestor was created based on the existence of Plane Lord, while Immortal Venerables are nothing but a sublimation of a cultivator’s internal qi or energy into a higher form."

’Plane Lord? If I remember correctly, these should be individuals born in Great Thousand Worlds who actually swallowed the Heavenly Dao of their worlds and became the sole controller. Are they related to Dao Ancestors? However, the information I read about them was very vague,’ thought Wang Wei to himself.
