Big Yellow Dog swiftly took his position, blocking in front of Chen Xia.
The members of the Blue Sky Sword Sea quickly followed suit, with Xu Zhen and Huang Qingyue guarding Chen Xia, their worry evident as anger and killing intent grew in their eyes.
Wang Yangzi stood at the back, acknowledging his weaker strength and ensuring he didn't become a burden.
Chi Yu stood among the group, looking at Big Yellow Dog's figure ahead, his eyes somewhat dazed.
How many years had passed?
He couldn't quite recall, only knowing that Big Yellow Dog looked the same as before, though he himself had changed drastically.
But it seemed Big Yellow Dog had also changed from how he used to be. The only thing that remained similar was probably Chen Xia.
It was good.
He pushed these thoughts aside and focused on the front. The biggest matter at hand was dealing with the Heaven Emperor.
The Heaven Emperor, facing them all, showed no change in expression. He glanced at them and shook his head.
"Coming here with a fourth-stage Great Emperor who relies on shortcuts, is that supposed to help? It's just adding another corpse, hehe. It's been a long time since I've killed so many Great Emperors and Semi-Emperors at once. It's a bit interesting."
He chuckled softly, took a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared in front of Big Yellow Dog. With a flick of his finger, murderous intent surged, each move bearing the weight of the heavens, his killing power reaching an astounding level.
Big Yellow Dog gritted his teeth and tried to block.
Suddenly, another figure appeared behind the Heaven Emperor. The Inner demon wielded a divine sword, his eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty light, charging savagely towards the Heaven Emperor's back.
The Heaven Emperor seemed to have anticipated this and wasn't caught off guard. His figure instantly vanished, only to reappear high above the sky. With a casual wave of his hand, the heavens outside trembled, and the entire universe fell silent. The void became chaotic, and time seemed to stop.
He brought a silence darker than the void itself.
Click.
The sky seemed to vanish, leaving only an endless void.
"Die."
The Heaven Emperor's cold voice echoed.
The Great Dark Sky descended, murderous intent surging like a tsunami.
In an instant.
Big Yellow Dog froze on the battlefield, his consciousness fading, his senses gone.
Boom!
His body suddenly slammed into the outermost edge of the East Jia State, his blood surging violently, his breathing irregular, blood spewing from his mouth.
A single step made all the difference!
The Inner demon also retreated, though not as badly as Big Yellow Dog, only moving back several thousand miles. He stared at the Heaven Emperor, his eyes filled more with resolution than with killing intent.
"Oh, a Supreme Great Demon, that's interesting. Unfortunately, you're not fully grown yet; otherwise, you could have served as a worthy opponent."
The Heaven Emperor spoke with a tone of regret but with a smile on his face. He flicked the void crown on his head, spreading its colorless light over his hand, and said with a smile,
"Let me kill you now."
The void color on his hand expanded. This was his innate divine ability, capable of erasing anything. He now aimed it directly at the Inner demon and taunted,
"Try to dodge, see if you can?"
Buzz!
With a sword cry, the Inner demon did not evade but instead appeared right in front of the Heaven Emperor, initiating the attack first with his sword, his eyes filled with chaotic madness and his bloodthirsty aura erupting.
He truly intended to kill the Heaven Emperor!
"Bold!" The Heaven Emperor roared, his void move directly hitting the Inner demon's forehead. In an instant, the Inner demon's soul scattered into wisps of light that dissipated into the world.
Clang.
The divine sword fell to the ground.
Daoist Suppressing Heaven stood high in the sky, his expression solemn. This was the plan he had discussed with the Inner demon, also the Inner demon's own choice.
Now...
The great way would soon be complete.
With his puppet body, he pointed his finger at the sky, leaking heavenly secrets, connecting with myriad worlds.
The sky roared with power.
In the distant Great Death Realm, as the Inner demon disappeared, the entire realm underwent a grand sacrifice, pulled by the Inner demon's scattered soul fragments, hurtling towards the Immortal Realm.
And what was Daoist Suppressing Heaven doing?
He was opening a Star Gate, one capable of teleporting the entire Great Death Realm!
Not only the Great Death Realm, but he pulled entire domains along with it, all crashing towards the Immortal Realm, aiming to merge the two realms into the East Jia State, allowing Chen Xia to directly obtain the fortunes of this primeval land!
The Inner demon's remnant soul, scattered in the world, surged towards Chen Xia's body, returning to its main form after dispersing, bringing back all the spiritual energy, divine abilities, and combat power.
The ten thousand mountains that were once desolate began to wildly spread their roots throughout the East Jia State, becoming one with this supreme primeval land.
Boom!
The Great Death Realm crashed first, merging as a mini-world into the East Jia State, carrying a significant share of its fortune.
Then came the domains, each becoming a mini-world.
This was the fusion, the key to Chen Xia truly becoming the ancestor of the East Jia State.
At the same time, the members of the Blue Sky Sword Sea, Xu Zhen, Huang Qingyue, and even Wang Yangzi, all radiated intense causal light, pouring onto the fallen Chen Xia.
This fortune was to communicate with the slumbering heavenly way, to have the heavenly way recognize, to have the dao light descend!
When these events were completed, the entire East Jia State glowed with blinding light, a supreme presence rising, causing the heavens to change, forcing those watching to kneel in awe.
This was the act of becoming a progenitor.
Chen Xia's consciousness was in a daze, as if he had entered a pitch-black room, wandering aimlessly, unable to find an exit.
He suddenly glimpsed a light and struggled toward it, hoping to find the way out.
When he reached the light, he stopped.
It was the Inner demon, who gave a faint smile, then softly said,
I used to worry about how we could survive in the East Jia State. Now, I don't have to worry about that anymore. You can hold your own.
Chen Xia's lips moved, but no words came out. After a long silence, he softly said,
"You and Daoist Suppressing Heaven had already planned this, didn't you?"
Using the Inner demon's death to bring two large realms and merge them with the East Jia State, allowing Chen Xia to become the true ancestor of a state, then becoming a Pseudo-Emperor, so he could stand against the other five Great Emperors.
The Inner demon chuckled lightly, no longer looking at Chen Xia, turning instead to gaze outward and said,
"There are always sacrifices on the path of growth. I trust you'll reach the peak, which is inevitable. Go..."
"Go and see your future."
His figure appeared behind Chen Xia without notice, gently pushing Chen Xia's shoulder.
Click.
The black void disappeared, including this single light.
Chen Xia opened his eyes.
The heavens instantly brightened, and the entire East Jia State let out a resounding roar, a trembling that had been unseen for countless ages.
The endless heavenly way showered upon Chen Xia, lifting him up, as if raising a new god.
"Heaven Emperor!" Chen Xia clenched his teeth, the fury in his eyes surging.
Buzz!
The divine sword landed in his hand, all four paths awakening.
His figure had already appeared before the Heaven Emperor, initiating combat, rushing towards the outer sky, the sword intent violently flowing through twelve layers, covering the entire Immortal Realm.
What is a Pseudo-Emperor?
It is someone whose combat power has reached perfection, but whose dao is lacking.
But that doesn't matter, because Chen Xia relies only on his combat power!
Today, many cultivators in the Immortal Realm watched from afar as the sky was filled with sword radiance, not knowing how to comment.
A single sword filled the nine states, the passage of time soothing the frost and snow.
That must be the definition of invincibility.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
