Dream-Making Expert
The voice within the Heaven Emperor Mirror spoke only four short sentences.
So brief that no one could be certain whether the voice came from the Ancient Heavenly Sovereign, or from someone else entirely.
And as those words—‘This will be part of the plan’—faded into a low murmur.
The images reflected in the Heaven Emperor Mirror began to speed up.
In an extremely short span of time, through silent yet cold and sharp scenes.
It quickly recounted the entire life of the Ancient Heavenly Sovereign.
The Ancient Heavenly Sovereign sacrificed his closest friend.
The Ancient Heavenly Sovereign donned the dragon-head mask.
The Ancient Heavenly Sovereign became the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Race.
The Ancient Heavenly Sovereign was conducting a sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao.
The Ancient Heavenly Sovereign was suppressing the Human Race.
…
Finally, the image froze.
The Ancient Heavenly Sovereign, wearing the dragon-head mask, stood beneath the tree where he had first met that other youth, his back to all living beings.
Lin Qi and the others watched the final frozen image in the Heaven Emperor Mirror in silence.
After a long while, the Peerless Young Master was the first to break the silence.
“I think I understand.”
“He offered his best friend as a sacrifice to those ancient gods and demons.”
“And in return received their reward.”
“Thus becoming the Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Demon Race Heavenly Court.”
“After that, he was cold and merciless, disowning all kin, even personally suppressing the Human Race time and again.”
“But in truth, all of this.”
“Was planned by them from the very beginning.”
“If I’m not mistaken.”
“The one he offered as a sacrifice to those ancient gods and demons should be that most mysterious figure in legend—the Ancient Earthly Sovereign.”
Among the Three Sovereigns of antiquity, the Earthly Sovereign was the most mysterious.
Almost no true legends or deeds of his had been passed down.
Yet in all records concerning the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of antiquity.
His existence was clearly documented.
Even in many legends about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
The mysterious figure of the Ancient Earthly Sovereign seemed to appear.
It could be said that the figure of this mysterious Ancient Earthly Sovereign ran through nearly the entire era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
He was also the only one among the ancient Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors whose fall had never been clearly recorded.
But now.
With the life of the Ancient Heavenly Sovereign reflected in the Heaven Emperor Mirror.
Lin Qi and the others seemed to have glimpsed the figure of this mysterious Ancient Earthly Sovereign.
“It should be the Ancient Earthly Sovereign.”
“I remember it was recorded in a certain Heavenly Book Daoist Canon.”
“The Ancient Heavenly Sovereign and the Ancient Earthly Sovereign were born as companions, shining together like sun and moon.”
“The Heavenly Sovereign was in the light, the Earthly Sovereign in the dark, and together they drew back the curtain on the rise of the Human Race.”
