Chapter 5844: I Didn’t Participate
They were far from being innocent after reaching the top. Their path included the destruction of sects and kingdoms.
Their battles and wars caused disasters to weaker cultivators and living beings, not to mention the land. The conflict between The People and The Race ravaged the continents for eras now.
Nevertheless, it was just war and the path toward becoming stronger through cultivation. Most emperors had no intention of turning living beings into alchemy medicines and pills.
The same couldn’t be said for these five overlords, splitting the world to prevent anyone from usurping them.
The major divide was established between the nine worlds and the thirteen continents, but they also created barriers between the continents just in case.
Worst of all, they went further with the blood sacrifice, killing the hundred races from the thirteen continents and the three races from the nine worlds. Of course, it wasn’t a perfect job and survivors hid from them successfully. Ultimately, around fifty percent of the population was wiped out.
Listeners shuddered because the list included powerful emperors and monarchs as well, not just mortals and weaker cultivators.
“How many of us were killed and refined?” An emperor behind the mirror murmured. After all, they had no chance of winning against these five overlords. Did the number of emperors go down drastically afterward?
“Such a dreadful past.” The founder of Celestial Court let out a sigh after remembering the past and how powerless he was.
“True, it was Old Primal. I was there when he made the suggestion and sure, I wanted to eat the brat and his surely delicious inborn dao chaos physique, maybe create a new one afterward. Of course, as we all know, I’ve failed in this research but at least I got a good meal out of it. As for our dear friend Primal, he didn’t care about the physique. Remember how he devoured the brat, savoring each bite.” Derivation said.
“Jealousy against Trinity and Divine Ancestor.” Dao Ancestor added: “This is the dirty business of your blood branch.”
“Heh.” Derivation sneered: “Another righteous soul from the dao branch, if you all weren’t busy figuring out how to avoid the villainous heaven, you would have gotten your feet wet as well.”
“Hmph, we weren’t interested.” Imperial Progenitor scowled.
“Not interested? I recall someone indulging in the blood refinement. You and Dao Ancestor were in charge of refining the nine worlds, we know that you snuck a few bites, perhaps adding some members of the hundred races to sweeten the pot. Don’t pretend like you only refined the three races.” Derivation said.
“Nonsense.” Imperial Progenitor denied.
“I created the blood refinement method so I knew how much vitality and energy went into it.” Derivation said: “No one’s mocking you for enjoying a delicious feast, who doesn’t enjoy a good meal? Hmph, and don’t give me that excuse, you all were afraid of Trinity Ancestor’s retaliation so you didn’t participate.”
The others didn’t answer after hearing this.
Meanwhile, newer emperors could only imagine those dark days. Emperors such as themselves were the fattest fish in the pond. Moreover, even an overlord in Divine Ancestor was hunted and devoured.
