Chapter 784 The Beginning of the Universe

The world where the emperor was born.

If this was the case, if anyone else was present, they would definitely be shocked upon hearing this.

What kind of existence was an emperor? His birth was a mystery in the eyes of most creatures in the world. Or rather, most creatures subconsciously didn't think that the emperor was once one of them.

However, the moment Xu Han said those words, the flash of anger on the Emperor's face clearly showed that Xu Han's words were not nonsense, but true.

The emperor didn't seem to have any intention of hiding this matter. He just stared at Xu Han and whispered, "What do you want to do?"

Xu Han smiled and placed a hand on the Emperor's shoulder. The other party's heart trembled subconsciously, wanting to break free from Xu Han's palm. However, it was as powerful as an Emperor. At this moment, under Xu Han's palm, he was like a child, unable to withstand the slightest bit of resistance. Even though he used all of his strength, Xu Han's hand was still firmly pressed against it.

"In this world, an emperor is no match for me." Xu Han narrowed his eyes and said. Then, a dark energy fluctuation suddenly spread out from Xu Han's body. At that moment, their floating bodies flashed and disappeared.

It was a very miraculous place. The sun was shining high in the sky, and the water around him was panting. However, the earth was desolate. Not to mention the tracks of people, even half of the trees and vegetation were hard to see. The things you looked at from afar were exactly the same as the scene in front of you.

"Tsk tsk." Xu Han and the Emperor stood side by side on the wasteland. Xu Han's gaze swept past everything in front of him one by one, and then a strange sound came from his mouth. He turned to the gloomy Emperor and said, "What a good world, but unfortunately, there is not a single blade of grass growing in it."

"The emperor has lived for so many years, so he can be considered knowledgeable. Do you know why?"

The Emperor's expression became even uglier when he heard this. He looked at Xu Han with deep eyes and said coldly, "What does this have to do with you?"

Xu Han's expression was calm. He released his hand from the Emperor's shoulder and began pacing back and forth in front of the Emperor.

"All living beings in the world fear the arrival of an emperor, but they have no intention of exploring where the emperor came from or why he was born."

'"But Gui Gu Zi is one of these creatures. They began to study emperors many years ago. Of course, they don't care about how the emperors reached their current cultivation realm. They just want to covet the emperor's power."

"Although the motive is not pure, it is still useful in the end."

"They call the emperor the Whip of the Universe. They believe that the emperor's birth was in accordance with the will of the universe."

"Truth be told, this is the first time I've ever heard these words. They've always been considered to be the words of a group of crazy people who have lost their rationality because of their fanatical worship of power."

"But thank you, Emperor. The Emperor locked me up in that illusion for more than a year. I was very bored, so I started to look at the first eighteen memories I left behind."

Xu Han deliberately paused for a moment before his gaze fell on the Emperor. He looked up and down at the Emperor as if he wanted to see something from his face.

The Emperor naturally didn't want to give Xu Han such a chance. He always had a stern face and gloomy gaze, trying to conceal his thoughts. However, the more he acted like this, the more he fell into Xu Han's favor.

Xu Han's voice sounded again after a few breaths of silence.

"There's nothing special about those memories, at least most of them."

"It's just a repetition of memories, starting from Shangyun City in the Azure Province and ending in a river of blood flowing from the Great Abyss Mountain."

"However, there is something different about this uniformity that attracts me. It's just like how the emperor treated me honestly in the Kunlun Immortal Palace. At the beginning of these stories, it was the first time that Gui Guzi spoke of Yuan. At that time, someone said many things to me honestly like an emperor."

"He told me that every world has its own will, or God, or Heavenly Dao, or whatever. When these wills are combined, they become the will of the universe."

'"Just like the gods that a world would choose, giving him great power, a long life span, and the responsibility to manage and drive the world, the same will also exists in the Universal Domain of the Universe. However, because the Universal Domain of the Universe is too vast, that will is destined to be extremely powerful. It is very difficult for a living being to withstand the gift of that will on its own."

Xu Han's tone of narration was extremely calm. It was as calm as an elder telling a distant and ancient story to his juniors.

However, as a "junior" Emperor, he was obviously unable to calmly listen to this story. His body began to tremble inexplicably. Although this tremor was extremely slight, if it wasn't for Xu Han's eyesight, he wouldn't have been able to see this tremor clearly. However, such a peculiarity was something that had never happened before to an emperor who had destroyed countless worlds in the starry sky.

"So, an emperor really is the choice of the will in the universe. But why would that will choose an emperor?" Xu Han narrowed his eyes and continued. The light in his eyes seemed to want to see the Emperor from the inside out.

'"Could it be because the will in the Myriad Domains is itself death and destruction? If so, then why did so many creatures come into being in the Myriad Domains? Isn't this a very unreasonable thing in itself?"

Xu Han's series of questioning ended up sinking into the ocean. It was clear that the current Emperor was unwilling to say even a single word to him. His expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and his body trembled even more clearly. It was as if there was something hidden in this uninhabited world that frightened the emperor.

"The heroic spirit that was sealed with the emperor did not give me an answer. I am not sure if he did not know or if he wanted me to find the answer to this question myself, but whether it was the former or the latter, I could only find it myself. "But the emperor knows that I was trapped in the illusion given to me by the emperor at that time. I can't leave anywhere, so all I can do is think and guess what the hidden will in the starry sky of the Myriad Domains wants."

"Such a question is close to approaching the essence of the world. Naturally, it is not something a mortal like Xu can guess. Fortunately, Gui Gu Zi once told me the answer they guessed. Yes, I just told the Emperor the answer that Xu scoffed at."

'"I thought it was the imagination of the Ghost Rice Guild that they had been obsessed with the power of the emperor for a long time, but if I were to bring their words into the story that the hero told me before, I would be able to explain the actions of the will in the starry sky of the Myriad Domains." Xu Han paused once more as a shy smile appeared on his face.

It was like a child who had just learned to read and read, and he had analyzed a section of the ancient prose. He was secretly pleased with himself, but he was also uncertain.

Although this smile was somewhat inappropriate, it came from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course, such speculation is only speculation. Xu Han is still self-aware. If he wants to prove his authenticity, Xu Han thinks that he can only ask the will in the dark or ask the emperor. After all, the emperor was the only one in the Myriad Domains of the Universe who had come into contact with that will. What was the coincidence? I happen to be in the illusion formed by the Emperor's open consciousness. As long as I can go into the depths of the Emperor's consciousness and see how the Emperor became an Emperor hundreds of millions of years ago, the answer to all of this will be explained. Does the Emperor think it is correct? "

Naturally, there was no response from the Emperor to this question. Xu Han was destined to speak from beginning to end.

He had expected this, so he didn't care about the gloomy and silent Emperor. After asking this question, he was silent for a while and said again.

'"How far back was that? I can't say for sure. There are too many memories hidden in the emperor's consciousness, destroying too many worlds. The cries and despair of creatures almost drowned out Xu's mind. However, it was also these memories that allowed me to discover a secret, a secret about the emperor's origin."

"Emperors do not seem to possess such powerful power from the very beginning. Emperors like to spread such information to a world before it is destroyed. Although this information can only be known by the most powerful group of people in that world, this group of people often has the ability to change the pattern of the world they live in."

'"Just imagine, an expert who ruled the entire world suddenly heard that this world was going to be destroyed by an even more powerful existence. What would he do? Fighting back with all his might? Drunken and dreamy? Not to mention, there was no lack of people who chose to submit to an emperor and offer up their own world."

"No matter what choice one makes, in the face of such fear, most people will do something abnormal, and these abnormal refraction will cause some rebound in those who are ruled by them, there are a hundred different kinds of people, let alone millions of creatures in each world? Some of them would inevitably notice something strange behind them, "As a result, war will begin. Usually, before an emperor arrives at civil strife, fear, death, and disaster will begin to spread in that world. When an emperor descends, the world will be destroyed in despair, and an emperor will be able to devour that power, assimilate those souls and hatred, and become a stronger person."

"Of course these are only distractions, but more or less with the origin of the emperor has some relationship. I continued to follow the vines and travel through the emperor's long memories. Fortunately, in the illusion that the emperor gave me, time was something that could be controlled. Otherwise, I would not have had so much time to go to the depths of the emperor's memories. After an unknown amount of time, I finally arrived at the deepest part of the Emperor's heart, where there was a sealed memory. The seal was exerted with all kinds of power. Logically speaking, it was not something that someone Xu who was only conscious at that time could undo. However, to my surprise, I only lightly tapped on the seal with my finger and it was extremely easy to break open. It was as if the seal had been waiting for me to arrive. " As Xu Han said this, a look of distress appeared on his face. "That kind of feeling seemed to be similar … it was like … um …"

Xu Han fell silent again. His expression of distress became even more bitter. It was as if he was trying his best to think of something. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He patted his forehead and said, "It's like when I went to the Kunlun Immortal Palace, there was someone waiting for me to arrive!"

When the Emperor heard this, Yin Yi's expression became even uglier. At this moment, he finally said the first sentence since Xu Han's long speech, "You shouldn't have seen it."

His tone was low and deep, not as if he was speaking to Xu Han, but rather as if he was talking to himself.

"But I still saw it." Xu Han smiled and said, not caring about the emperor's abnormal state. "I saw a world in that memory, a world of incomparable desire and abundance," he said. The cultivation of the people there was not high. Even the strongest of them did not have the ability to pierce through the heavens and the earth. However, even so, the creatures there lived exceptionally happily. Without powerful fighting techniques, there were naturally many less fish affected. Even if there were disputes, there were very few disasters that could be caused compared to other worlds. "

"This situation lasted for a very long time until one day, there was an intruder from the outside world. Of course, they weren't emperors. They were just experts from another world. After endless wars and excessive use of their world, their land became barren and their spiritual energy became thin. In order to continue their own species, invading other worlds was their only choice. As for a creature that had suffered from the chaos of war and walked out of the sword and blood, it was much stronger than that group of peaceful creatures in terms of temperament and cultivation. The creatures of that world were dominated by the invaders without the slightest bit of resistance. Countless creatures were enslaved, and even their kings became prisoners, imprisoned in the dirtiest dungeons.

"In that dirty dungeon, The king pondered day after day why they would encounter such a fate, He began to gather all kinds of information, In the conversations of the outsiders who were in charge of guarding him, He gradually understood, There were countless worlds in the starry sky of the Myriad Domains, and every world is not infinite, What his sect has will one day be depleted, then acquiring the power of other worlds is the path that every world must follow in order to continue its race, The reason why they suffered such a fate was because they did not have such vigilance. They thought that they could live in this world safely forever, but they did not know that there were wolves eyeing them covetously outside the world. If these invaders did not come today, other invaders would arrive tomorrow. The difference was only the length of time. "

"That king suddenly came to an epiphany at that time. No one was to blame for their misfortune. If they were to blame, they could only blame themselves."

"He came to this realization."

"Easy is the slow poison of living beings. Only the running elk can escape the pursuit of the jackal, and only the strong jackal can catch its prey."

"At that time, he made a grand wish. If he could escape, he would definitely make this kind of tragedy no longer happen in the Myriad Domains. He wanted all the creatures in the Myriad Domains to know that danger was always lurking in their surroundings. Either they would become stronger or they would be destroyed."
