The Immortal Emperor of Time frowned, then shook his head somewhat helplessly. "This old Daoist already anticipated that you would not agree. But do you know that this world is far less simple than what you see? Do you really think that by relying on the Origin of Calamity to achieve your Dao, you can be invincible in this world? You are thinking too simply."
Gu Qingfeng was slightly taken aback. "From what you're saying, you Five Great Immortal Emperors are not the strongest?"
The Immortal Emperor of Time chuckled softly. "It cannot be said, it cannot be said."
Gu Qingfeng's expression turned cold. "In all my life, this emperor hates riddlers the most."
"It is not that this old Daoist is keeping you in suspense, but such existences are unspeakable. Fellow Daoist Gu, listen to this old Daoist's advice. The waters of the Eternal True Realm are too deep, you won't be able to grasp them. It is better to hand over the Origin of Calamity and honestly serve as the Death Immortal Emperor."
"Hmph! Cut the crap. Either fight or get lost!" Gu Qingfeng coldly snorted.
Admittedly, he could not do anything to the Immortal Emperor of Time right now, but the Immortal Emperor of Time could not kill him either.
"This old Daoist indeed cannot stop you, but there are people who can." After the Immortal Emperor of Time finished speaking, he suddenly called out loudly to the void, "Fellow Daoists, please lend this old Daoist a helping hand."
His voice was not loud, but it was extremely penetrating. Like the heavenly voice of the Great Dao, it surged mightily, spreading in all directions and echoing throughout the entire Eternal True Realm.
Just as his words fell, almost at the exact same time, four stalwart figures with immortal might as deep as the abyss instantly appeared.
They were precisely the Space Immortal Emperor, Devouring Immortal Emperor, Creation Immortal Emperor, and Eternal Immortal Emperor.
With this, all Five Great Immortal Emperors had appeared.
With the strength of these five, any distance in time and space could be ignored. Therefore, the moment the Immortal Emperor of Time's voice sounded, these few people appeared simultaneously.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the Five Great Immortal Emperors and frowned slightly.
Because this was different from what he had imagined. Logically speaking, the Five Great Immortal Emperors were five individuals, and none of them were weak. There would definitely be friction between them due to fighting over various things.
Could it be that among the Five Great Immortal Emperors, not a single one wanted to defeat the other Immortal Emperors and become the master of the Eternal True Realm?
Even if they didn't have much ambition, as supreme experts, shouldn't it be perfectly normal for them to find each other displeasing to the eye and have conflicts?
But the current vibe was clearly wrong. How did it turn into a situation where one party was in trouble and support came from all sides?
The Immortal Emperor of Time called out once, and the other four directly came to help.
Could it be... these five belonged to the same faction?
"What is it! Why did you have to call us all over? I was busy breaking off an engagement," the strongest Eternal Immortal Emperor said with a yawn, completely lacking the demeanor of a supreme expert.
A black line appeared on the forehead of the Immortal Emperor of Time as he asked in disbelief, "You went into reincarnation again?"
"Yeah! What's the point of being an Immortal Emperor every day? It's much better to enter reincarnation and play around in the mortal world. I was only halfway through breaking off my engagement and hadn't even finished shouting 'Do not bully the young and poor' when you called me up here."
"Enough, shut up. We have serious business now." The Immortal Emperor of Time pointed at Gu Qingfeng with an unfriendly expression and said, "This person is named Gu Qingfeng. He has now taken control of the Origin of Calamity."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other four Immortal Emperors all revealed surprised gazes and looked at Gu Qingfeng, sizing him up.
"It really is the Origin of Calamity!"
"To think that the long-lost Origin of Calamity has actually appeared in the world and even found a master."
"Fellow Daoists, I wonder if you have any methods to seal the Origin of Calamity?" the Immortal Emperor of Time asked.
The Space Immortal Emperor pondered slightly. "I can banish him into the endless void, but tribulations are everywhere. Banishment would be useless."
The Devouring Immortal Emperor shook his head. "Although the Origin of Devouring is one of the Five Great Supreme Origins and is said to be able to devour anything, I can't even devour your Origins, let alone the Origin of Calamity."
The Eternal Immortal Emperor said with a helpless look, "The pinnacle of strength is all-conquering, but absolute power represents absolute destruction. I'm afraid that if I throw a punch, he will directly prove his Dao and become an Emperor."
The Creation Immortal Emperor probed, "Fellow Daoist Gu, how about I create a world for you? I guarantee it will have everything you want, and all your wishes will come true. Then you can just stay inside and never come out. That can be considered sealing the Origin of Calamity."
After hearing their answers, the Immortal Emperor of Time immediately became furious at their lack of ambition. "Can you guys take this a bit more seriously?! This is the Origin of Calamity that can destroy the world!"
The Eternal Immortal Emperor scratched his head and said, "What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, the tallest one will hold it up."
Hearing this, the Immortal Emperor of Time grew even angrier. "Among the five of us, you are the tallest, right?"
"Hahaha, is that so?"
Gu Qingfeng: "........."
This vibe is so damn wrong!
Gu Qingfeng absolutely never expected that his first meeting with the Five Great Immortal Emperors would actually be like this.
This made him, as the World-Destroying Demon Emperor and the calamity of the world, feel highly disrespected!
According to common sense, shouldn't a scene like this be at least a little serious?
On one side was the World-Destroying Demon Emperor who wanted to plunge the world into calamity, and on the other side were the Five Great Immortal Emperors who guarded the Eternal True Realm.
Why was there no atmosphere of a decisive battle at all during their first encounter?
For some reason, Gu Qingfeng felt that these Five Great Immortal Emperors were exactly like employees slacking off at work, putting in the time but not the effort.
"Are you guys really the Five Great Immortal Emperors? Or did this old Daoist just find some people to put on an act for this emperor?" Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but question the authenticity of the Five Great Immortal Emperors' identities.
The Eternal Immortal Emperor and the others looked at Gu Qingfeng in surprise. "Why do you say that? Do we not look like Immortal Emperors?"
"No."
The Creation Immortal Emperor suddenly smiled. "Does Fellow Daoist Gu feel that they are a bit too lacking in seriousness?"
"Not just them, you too."
The Creation Immortal Emperor's smile froze, and he gave two dry laughs. "As the Five Great Immortal Emperors, can't we be a little casual? Who stipulated that the Five Great Immortal Emperors must absolutely be serious?"
"As the five strongest Immortal Emperors, shouldn't you be a bit more majestic? Is there no one left in the Eternal True Realm that you care about?" Gu Qingfeng became increasingly suspicious of these people.
"Fellow Daoist Gu is still too attached to appearances," the Eternal Immortal Emperor walked over, patted Gu Qingfeng on the shoulder, and said.
"Only those without strength pretend to be majestic. Since we have already become the strongest, we naturally want to be ourselves."
Gu Qingfeng: "........."
Although he really wanted to retort, he faintly felt that what the Eternal Immortal Emperor said was very correct. Moreover, he seemed to have always acted this way himself in his daily life.
When one's strength was enough to reign supreme over a realm, they would start doing as they pleased without worrying about their image in the slightest.
"Do you guys really have no aspirations at all? Are you this undisciplined every day?"
The Eternal Immortal Emperor looked at Gu Qingfeng in surprise. "Of course we have aspirations."
"What aspirations?"
"To enjoy life!"
"Uh........."
For some reason, when Gu Qingfeng looked at the Eternal Immortal Emperor and these few people, it was as if he was seeing his future self.
"We worked hard to cultivate to become the strongest, and we have long been immortal and indestructible. Can't we just enjoy life?" the Eternal Immortal Emperor said.
The other Immortal Emperors also nodded in agreement one after another.
