358: Mr. Chu can afford to lose!

Xuan Ling took a step, moving from the Immortal Source Pool to stand before Chu Mo, with only a meter separating the two of them.

"You... Wan Hai didn't hold you back?!"

"This is just a Clone."

No expression could be seen on Xuan Ling's face.

Chu Mo: "..."

He knew Wan Hai was unreliable, like a brute, but he never expected him to be so unreliable, not even knowing Xuan Ling had left a Clone.

Of course, this Xuan Ling was also incredibly devious.

The Lust Demoness was so arrogant and unrestrained before because she was certain Xuan Ling couldn't investigate the specific situation of the Heavenly Palace.

But what no one had expected was that Xuan Ling had directly left a Clone here.

"Damn it! My life is over!"

Facing Xuan Ling, Chu Mo knew that no method would work, just as it was when he directly faced Wan Hai before.

His Clones were casually destroyed by the other party, and his main body was directly imprisoned.

In the face of absolute strength, all methods seemed so pale and powerless!

"Come on! Do it!"

Chu Mo spread his hands, calmly accepting his fate.

If he lost, he lost!

It was nothing more than being made into a 'specimen'!

He, Chu Mo, could afford to lose!

Besides, being killed by the Emperor's weapon of a Heavenly Emperor wasn't shameful; on the contrary, it even elevated his status.

"Do it, huh..." Xuan Ling raised his hand.

The next moment, ninety-nine bodies floated in the air, then shattered.

Strands of golden light, guided by some power, converged into a torrent that rushed directly into Chu Mo's Sea of Consciousness.

Chu Mo only felt a violent surge enter his body, which constantly swelled like a balloon about to burst.

Bang!

Chu Mo exploded!

His body burst open.

Black particles and golden particles intertwined.

Then, mysterious runes emerged, linking these particles together.

As Xuan Ling connected these runes, he murmured to himself, "You! Originally, you were just a chess piece for me to revive the Heavenly Emperor, but now, I've changed my mind!"

Chu Mo's soul body floated in mid-air.

The Human Race Luck that shattered from the ninety-nine Dao bodies was slowly forming a perfect body under Xuan Ling's guidance.

An Innate Human Race body!

Since the purest Human Race body was to be constructed, everything within Chu Mo's body had to be completely purged.

Immortals! Demons! Buddhas! Yao! Ghosts! Gods! All of these must be abandoned!

"I don't know what Shen Yan wants to do. I've never asked. Anyway, ever since I was born, I could feel that he seemed to be worried about something! Now that I see this, I probably know what he was worried about! And I also know what he intends to do!"

"Heavenly Emperor, hehe..."

"This seemingly glorious Immortal Court is actually a huge slaughterhouse! The Immortals are the livestock within it, awaiting the various races to slaughter and enjoy at will!"

"It's laughable how those ignorant fools are intoxicated by a false prosperity, completely unaware of their own predicament."

Xuan Ling, having followed Shen Yan, had witnessed too much darkness. He had seen the Human Race hunched over in mines, whipped by the Demon Race; he had seen countless Human Race remains on the Yao Race's dining plates; he had also seen Immortals who ascended from the Mortal Realm to the Upper Realm, considering themselves superior, dealing with the Human Race in ways more brutal than even the myriad races... All of these things made even Shen Yan, the Heavenly Emperor Li Wangnian, feel it was a thorny issue.

Internal and external troubles.

The original Shen Yan, the Heavenly Emperor, relied on half of the Human Race's Luck to gain the Dragon Clan's protection, and at the cost of his own self, and even half of the Human Race's Dao heritage, he gained the Ancient Immortal Race's permission, allowing the Human Race to achieve Immortal Ascension and enter the Upper Realm.

The Desolate Ruins Demon Emperor was also the same.

From then on, the Human Race's Cultivation Techniques were completely destroyed, and the Human Race began to Cultivate based on the Immortal and Demon Cultivation Techniques.

While Xuan Ling recounted the past situation of the Human Race, he used the Human Race Luck extracted from the Ancestral Dragon Pearl by the other ninety-nine Dao bodies to condense the purest Human Dao body for Chu Mo.

Chu Mo's consciousness recovered, and while listening to Xuan Ling's narration, he also inquired, "Didn't you want to revive Shen Yan, the Heavenly Emperor? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Moreover, you shattered all ninety-nine bodies and used their Origin to shape a body for me. Can Shen Yan, the Heavenly Emperor, still return?"

"I have other methods..." Xuan Ling clearly didn't want to discuss this matter too much. "I am his Emperor's weapon, and I should carry out his will. However, I cannot go to the outside world with you."

"Why?!" Chu Mo asked.

Xuan Ling, this Emperor's weapon, was still very powerful. It could evolve life if it wanted to, had combat power if it wanted to, had knowledge if it wanted to, and had wisdom if it wanted to... It was truly versatile.

Taking Xuan Ling to the outside world, Chu Mo believed his sense of security would reach a peak.

"I offended too many enemies before."

"Many enemies? The myriad races?"

"More than that!"

Chu Mo: "..."

"After Shen Yan and Desolate Ruins entered the Upper Realm, they were still under others' control, their status so low, not even as good as dogs. However, they did not remain silent. Instead, they used various means to instigate the Immortal-Demon War, weakening the power of the Ancient Immortal Race and the Ancient Demon Race. Ultimately, this allowed the Human Race to rise from the cracks, filling the Upper Realm with the newly risen Human Race."

"And then, the Human Race rose?!" Chu Mo continued to press.

"Yes and no!" Xuan Ling gave an ambiguous answer.

Meeting Chu Mo's puzzled gaze, Xuan Ling continued to narrate.

The Ancient Immortal Race and the Ancient Demon Race fought fiercely, each moving from the front to behind the scenes, and entrusting all external matters to the two who performed exceptionally well. The two seized this opportunity to bring most of the Human Race to the Upper Realm.

Initially, the Human Race was united, and their development was extremely good. Seeing this, the myriad races made several attempts but all ended in failure. This was because the better the Human Race developed, the more the Ancient Immortal Race, Ancient Demon Race, and Dragon Clan gained. More and more races grew envious, but there was only one Human Race. So, the most powerful few races joined forces and fought a battle with the three races. This battle swept across the entire Upper Realm, and all races were drawn into it, with the Human Race also suffering. After this calamity, all races sensed that something was amiss, but they couldn't figure it out. However, several powerful races reached a truce agreement with the three races, jointly dividing the Human Race's Luck. After this great war, the Human Race officially stepped onto the stage of the Upper Realm and gained a foothold. The two favored by the Human Dao also made rapid progress, successfully ascending to the Grand Unity Realm a million years after the calamity ended, and respectively established the Shen Yan Immortal Court and the Desolate Ruins Demon Domain. This, in turn, created a false prosperity that lasted for a considerably long time, so long that people forgot that the Human Race's Luck had already been divided by the major races. Of course, perhaps they remembered, but simply weren't willing to bring it up and shatter the illusion of prosperity. Subsequently, the Immortal Court, Demon Domain, and the myriad races fostered good relations, continuously attracting 'Genius' from the myriad races to join.

Hearing this, Chu Mo frowned and asked, "Shen Yan, the Heavenly Emperor, and Desolate Ruins, the Demon Emperor, did they allow these ambitious races to join?"

"To strengthen their power, sweep across all directions, and break the Human Race's awkward situation, they were either in seclusion or about to enter seclusion! Their forces were handed over to their descendants and the descendants of the elders who fought alongside them! Because they hadn't experienced the Human Race's most brutal phase, coupled with the false prosperity, these power holders gradually became oblivious to the Human Race's plight outside the Immortal Court. The Immortal Court's power holders believed that the Immortal Court was powerful, so much so that even among the myriad races, only a few major ones could rival it. Thus, they began to 'display' the magnanimity and breadth of a great power. They started helping the weaker races among the myriad races and opened the Shen Yan Academy to them, allowing them to learn Divine Abilities, secret techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and killer moves! It's laughable that other Human Race Prodigies who fought their way up to the Upper Realm from the Mortal Realm didn't receive such treatment! Even when these Prodigies from the Lower Realm clashed with members of the myriad races, they would protect the myriad races and severely punish these Human Race Prodigies from the Lower Realm!"

The more Chu Mo listened, the more he felt something was wrong. This, damn it, was so familiar!

Xuan Ling, without any preamble, immediately put Chu Mo on the fast track.

"When Shen Yan was not in seclusion, he led the Human Race to resist the myriad races, established the Immortal Court, gave those Human Race Prodigies who came up from the Mortal Realm the opportunity to enter the Immortal Court Academy for further study, and even occasionally sent Immortals to the Mortal Realm to preach the Dao. But after Shen Yan went into seclusion, everything changed..."

Before Shen Yan, the Heavenly Emperor, went into seclusion, the Immortal Court was the Human Race's Immortal Court. After Shen Yan, the Heavenly Emperor, went into seclusion, the Immortal Court became the Immortal Court of the current power holders... Chu Mo estimated that after Shen Yan, the Heavenly Emperor, and Desolate Ruins, the Demon Emperor, emerged, they found the forces they had personally built to be in such a mess. Thus, the Immortal-Demon War in the Void Realm came about. This was to purge the scum within the Human Race! Hmm, the 'Genius' of the other myriad races were probably also in this group. It's just that he couldn't understand why, since the two of them were intimate battle partners, they both fell in the Void Realm.

Chu Mo looked at Xuan Ling, expecting him to continue.

Xuan Ling said, "Dragon Ancestor!"

"Dragon Ancestor?" Chu Mo was surprised.

"Yes! Dragon Ancestor! Their demise is related to the Dragon Ancestor! However, I only have fragmented and incomplete memories because both Wan Hai and I had our memories tampered with! If it weren't for my deep obsession and my single-minded desire to revive Shen Yan, constantly setting up methods and gathering those who might contain his thoughts, I wouldn't have obtained these scattered pieces of information..."
