The Dao of Reincarnation (121-124) (Patreon)

Chapter 121: Witness of the Era (Part 18)

Su Chen stared into the depths of the cosmos, where an earth-shattering aura erupted in a battle unprecedented in history.

"So this is the power of a Great Emperor…"

His scalp tingled. Even though he had become a Saint and witnessed Quasi-Emperors clash, in the face of this terrifying force, Saints and Quasi-Emperors seemed no different at all. A casual wave of a Great Emperor's hand could probably erase the entire Heavenly Profound Domain from existence.

What stunned him even more was that the Divine Evolution Great Emperor had faked his death.

This thirty-third Great Emperor to prove the Dao since the end of the primordial era—the one the world had always regarded as the most mediocre—possessed such deep schemes. To draw out the hidden Supremes, he had turned a blind eye even to the deaths of his closest friends, disciples, and grand-disciples. All of it, just to seize a single opportunity.

Everyone had underestimated this Great Emperor.

In the Western Regions, 'Yu Shukuang' felt that hair-raising aura and felt nothing but relief in his heart. Fortunately, he had been patient enough, cautious enough. Otherwise, his fate would likely have been no better than those Supremes. He would have been swarmed and struck down without mercy.

Deep in the cosmos, Divine Evolution Great Emperor faced five former "Emperors"—now Supremes. Blood stained the stars. With his dying body, he fought relentlessly, slaying two in succession. The remaining three exhausted every method to break the imperial formation and fled back to their respective forbidden zones. Yet Divine Evolution refused to let them go. Dragging his broken imperial body, he pursued with the intent to claim at least one more Supreme.

To buy time for their escape, the other two Supremes turned without hesitation on the one cloaked in silver radiance. Across the cosmos rang that Supreme's furious roar: "You two bastards!"

In the next instant, Divine Evolution arrived. Facing the blood-mad, life-risking Great Emperor, the lone Supreme left behind cursed in rage: "Why would an era produce a Great Emperor like you? Among the thirty-three Emperors, your strength ranks in the top ten. Why pretend to be so mediocre?"

The Supreme could not understand. With such overwhelming power, Divine Evolution could have stormed the forbidden zones from the beginning. Why hold back until the brink of death?

Divine Evolution severed that Supreme's head. The undying body was erased from existence. Carrying the severed head, he dragged his ruined form back to the dao cliff. The place lay in ruins all around him. He gazed at the devastation, his eyes dim with sorrow. A few drops of essence blood fell from his fingertip, flying toward distant places.

Alone, he sat upon the Dao cliff, the entire universe revolving around him.

"Four Supremes dead… Across all ancient history, how many have achieved such a feat?"

Supremes were hard to kill—not because they were overwhelmingly strong, but because they were cunning enough. Even those Great Emperors who had pacified forbidden zones might never kill four Supremes in a lifetime.

The cosmic emperor Dao fell silent once more.

Divine Evolution Great Emperor sat alone on the Dao Cliff. His broken, damaged body remained upright, unyielding. Yet there were still unconvinced Supremes lurking in the shadows, watching, waiting to confirm whether this Great Emperor had truly died.

Another century passed. The great emperor battle seemed to have subsided. More and more prodigies of this era set foot on the Path of Ascension. Having witnessed the might of a Great Emperor, who among them did not dream of becoming such an existence themselves?

Su Chen received fresh news from deep in the stars.

Wang Yunfei had broken through to the Great Saint realm. He challenged several hall masters of the God-Slaying Hall and directly slew two of them. Only Lin Zhan remained. The two finally clashed—then, by mutual agreement, both withdrew. Lin Zhan had broken through to Great Saint centuries earlier; his foundation ran deeper than Wang Yunfei's.

After that heaven-shaking battle, the name of the Young Emperor Wang Yunfei resounded throughout the cosmos!

In the eyes of far too many people, this era belonged to Wang Yunfei alone. His brilliance was simply unmatched. Even Fang Bubai—once personally chosen and taken as a disciple by Divine Evolution Great Emperor—had suffered defeats. Even Lin Zhan, who dominated the God-Slaying Hall and struck terror into countless prodigies, had never reached such heights. Even those ancient monsters who had once contended with Great Emperors treated Wang Yunfei as a grave threat.

Yet over the next century, the Supremes could no longer sit still.

Although the Divine Evolution Great Emperor had never campaigned against the forbidden zones, none of those supreme zones had dared extend their claws toward the myriad races of the stars during his reign. He had fixed his gaze solely on the ultimate forbidden zones guarded by Supremes, leaving those beings grinding their teeth in hatred—especially the Primordial Ancient Mountain. The previous Great Emperor had stared it down; Divine Evolution had stared even harder. If they could not harvest vitality soon, and a new Great Emperor emerged, one supreme forbidden zone might truly be starved to death. The thought was laughable.

From the Primordial Ancient Mountain, one Supreme crossed countless seas of stars, intent on harvesting the life force of living beings to replenish his depleted vitality. But the moment he traversed into the open cosmos, the supposedly dead Divine Evolution Great Emperor abruptly opened his eyes once more.

Terrified, the Supreme fled without looking back. Half his body was severed across the starry expanse by Divine Evolution's strike—he abandoned it without hesitation and escaped straight back into his forbidden zone.

That single scene caused every lurking covetous aura in the vicinity to vanish instantly.

"Damn it all—Divine Evolution still isn't dead!"

"How long can that old bastard possibly live?"

The Supremes of the forbidden zones teetered on the edge of despair. They feared Divine Evolution would lock onto them, trace their aura, and find their lairs.

Divine Evolution Great Emperor felt a trace of regret. This time, he had failed to kill even one Supreme. He returned to the Dao cliff. Once again, a breath of final extinction spread through the cosmos. Myriad beings wailed in sorrow… though this time, many of those cries carried an undertone of absurdity.

Su Chen looked up toward the depths of the starry sky, the corner of his mouth twitching.

History would surely record Divine Evolution Great Emperor in bold strokes. He might not be the strongest Great Emperor… but he was unquestionably the most cautious. Which Great Emperor had ever feigned death three times? Who else used nirvana as bait for entrapment?

Even if the Divine Evolution Great Emperor truly perished now, the Supremes of those forbidden zones would likely not dare emerge for a very long time.

A thousand years passed. Legends of the stars continued to spread. For a full millennium, no Supreme emerged, and no further word came of the Divine Evolution Great Emperor.

Su Chen's cultivation reached the seventh layer of the Saint realm. Given another thousand years, he might reach the peak of Saint and glimpse the threshold of Saint King.

A Saint lived for five thousand years. Su Chen had cultivated for only two thousand so far.

"Perhaps… Divine Evolution Great Emperor really has died."

A thousand years had passed without the slightest ripple. Unless he lived out a second life… but with wounds so grievous, even an undying divine medicine might not have been enough to grant him another lifespan.

The forbidden zones began to stir. They tested the waters—first the minor zones, then the major ones, and finally the supreme forbidden zones emerged. Still, no sign of the Divine Evolution Great Emperor.

Divine Evolution Great Emperor was dead! This time, he was truly gone!

At the end of the ancient path, figures threw themselves forward desperately, braving the crushing pressure of the remnant emperor dao, and the struggle to become Emperor began!

…

Chapter 122: Witness of the Era (Part 19)

Boom!

The instant the Divine Evolution Great Emperor's death was confirmed, an incomparably terrifying aura poured down over the Heavenly Profound Domain like a raging flood.

A Quasi-Emperor… a Quasi-Emperor had emerged!

Deep in the cosmos, the countless powerhouses fighting and vying for the path to Emperor on the Path of Ascension suddenly froze. Every one of them sensed that overwhelming, dreadful presence.

"Who… is about to become an Emperor?"

They stood stunned. The Dao marks Divine Evolution Great Emperor had left in heaven and earth had not yet dispersed. No one had even reached the peak of Quasi-Emperor… yet someone was already attempting to break through to the Emperor realm!

Those in seclusion who still held hope of ascending to Emperor—Fang Bubai, Lin Zhan, Wang Yunfei, Li Shenhua, and others—were equally dumbfounded. To attempt Emperor ascension under the lingering pressure of an undispersed dao… who could it be?

Even the beings emerging from the forbidden zones were struck speechless. Divine Evolution Great Emperor had only just died. Could this heaven and earth truly welcome a second Great Emperor so soon?

"No—absolutely not! We cannot allow a second Great Emperor to appear this quickly!"

Some of the decayed Supremes panicked. They had endured for a hundred thousand years without tasting a single bite. If another Great Emperor arose now, would they have to wait another hundred thousand years?

Within the Wang family, Su Chen lifted his head. A sudden palpitation gripped his heart. When a Saint's bloodline stirred with premonition, something monumental was about to occur.

Above the Heavenly Profound Domain, the sky turned pitch-black, covered in endless thunder. An ancient divine hall descended with a single figure at its center. It stood towering over the vast Heavenly Profound Domain, rendering the entire realm insignificant in comparison.

Through layers of space, Su Chen caught sight of a familiar face.

Yu Shukuang… he truly had not died! No… it was no longer Jade Unrestrained. He should now be called the Spirit Divine King. He had returned once more.

The moment Su Chen recognized the Spirit Divine King, the latter's gaze turned toward the Central Continent. In an instant, Su Chen felt as though he had been struck by a catastrophic blow—his body cracked and shattered.

Countless living beings across the Central Continent were extinguished with that single glance.

"What terrifying power… the Spirit Divine King…"

Su Chen's heart trembled in shock. He could sense that the Spirit Divine King's strength surpassed even the old Quasi-Emperor of the Emperor Palace and Li Shenhua—perhaps even rivaling the Supremes of the forbidden zones!

The Spirit Divine King extended one hand over the Western Regions. Under the horrified gazes of billions upon billions of living beings, he seized the entire landmass of the Western Regions in his grasp.

"What are you doing?"

From the Western Regions, a figure clad in star-white robes materialized, his expression filled with terror. "Spirit Divine King, you promised me—you would help me become a Quasi-Emperor!"

The Spirit Divine King threw back his head and laughed wildly. "Quasi-Emperor? What is that worth? Let me help you become an Emperor instead. If you merge with me, when I become Emperor, won't that mean you have become Emperor as well?"

Amid the Western Regions Great Saint's furious roar, the Spirit Divine King crushed him without hesitation. Then the entire Western Regions' heaven and earth transformed into a crystalline arm that fused directly into the Spirit Divine King's body. His aura surged violently once more.

The scene left countless beings frozen in dread. Trillions upon trillions of lives had simply vanished.

Su Chen recognized the one the Spirit Divine King had crushed. In his previous life, he had glimpsed that figure only once from afar—he had been the one secretly orchestrating everything in the Western Regions. Yet he had never imagined such a terrifying existence could be so easily pinched to death by the Spirit Divine King.

The Spirit Divine King's aura grew even more horrifying—terrifying enough to drown out everything else, infinitely close to the Great Emperor realm.

"The legends were true… the legends were truly true! Our Heavenly Profound Domain was once formed from the body of a mighty existence from an ancient epoch long before!"

An ancestor of one of the Central Continent's ancient clans saw the crystalline arm fused into the Spirit Divine King and suddenly recalled something. He cried out in shock.

The old Quasi-Emperor of the Central Continent Emperor Palace sensed the disturbance. He left the palace and, upon seeing the Spirit Divine King, his eyes widened in horror.

"It's you… You're actually still alive!"

The Spirit Divine King threw back his head and laughed. "Old thing, you cannot stop me! I will eventually reclaim everything that belongs to me!"

He stood with hands clasped behind his back. The supreme great path pressed down across the cosmos. The most terrifying power in the universe converged toward him.

The Emperor Tribulation!

Even with only a partial restoration of his body, the Spirit Divine King had summoned the tribulation of ascension. He stood on the verge of crossing it and becoming an Emperor!

"We absolutely cannot allow this person to become an Emperor!"

At the end of the Path of Ascension, the powerhouses hailing from the Heavenly Profound Domain witnessed the scene and made their resolve.

The Spirit Divine King intended to refine the entire Heavenly Profound Domain. They would never permit it.

The Supremes of the forbidden zones watched in utter terror.

"We cannot let him become an Emperor… otherwise a peerless Great Emperor will be born—one who can live out a second life… a third… How could we possibly survive?"

The Spirit Divine King sensed the killing intent surrounding him and laughed uproariously. "A bunch of ants thinks they can stop me from becoming an Emperor? Delusional!"

The living beings of the Heavenly Profound Domain watched his actions with sinking hearts. If the Spirit Divine King lived, they would not.

More and more powerhouses joined the encirclement, determined to halt his ascension before the terrifying Emperor tribulation could descend. Even the Supremes took action.

Saints fell like ants. Quasi-Emperors numbered in the double digits.

In the clash, countless stars shattered.

Just as the Emperor Tribulation was about to fall, a figure that pierced through time and space suddenly emerged from an ancient forbidden zone. While the Spirit Divine King divided his attention—fending off the tribulation on one side and battling the many powerhouses on the other—this figure struck from behind.

Half of the Spirit Divine King's body exploded under the blow. The arm bone he had fused earlier was torn away by the attacker and swiftly carried into retreat.

The Spirit Divine King reacted at once. He roared toward the fleeing figure: "Zhou Guang! You dare ambush me!"

The Supreme who had launched the sneak attack felt a jolt of alarm. He had not expected the Spirit Divine King to recognize him.

Countless ancient powerhouses stared in horror. Zhou Guang… that was the title of an incomparably mighty Emperor from the primordial era. And he was still alive.

As Supreme Zhou Guang vanished into the depths of the starry sky without a trace, the remaining Supremes surged forward in unison, intent on slaying the Spirit Divine King.

Yet in that instant, many of the Quasi-Emperors who had originally attacked the Spirit Divine King—those wielding Extreme Dao Emperor Scriptures—suddenly turned their blades toward the Supremes instead.

Chapter 123: Witness of the Era (Part 20)

Su Chen's face was pale. He stared at the Spirit Divine King's downfall and murmured to himself, "Truly, one cannot afford to be too arrogant."

The Spirit Divine King's strength had been terrifying beyond measure. After fusing with that single arm bone, his power had rivaled an alternative path to the Dao—on par with a Supreme.

But… he had been far too arrogant. To challenge the entire cosmos's powerhouses single-handedly. Failure had been his inevitable fate.

More than ten Quasi-Emperors, wielding emperor scriptures, forced the gravely wounded Supremes to retreat. Together, they executed the unwilling Spirit Divine King.

In this battle… too many had died. Even the old Quasi-Emperor of the Emperor Palace had fallen. From the direction of the palace came the sound of mournful weeping. With his death, the era of the Emperor Palace had truly come to an end.

Yet even after the battle concluded, the Emperor Tribulation did not disperse.

"Someone… has become an Emperor!"

As the tribulation descended, the crowd finally saw the figure bathed in thunderlight.

"You… how could it be you?"

Lin Zhan let out an unwilling roar. He too was a Quasi-Emperor. Given another thousand years, the one ascending might have been him!

In that moment, black qi surged from Lin Zhan's body. With a casual sweep of his hand, he erased an entire star domain. Then, without another word, he fled into one of the forbidden zones.

Wang Yunfei returned to the Heavenly Profound Domain.

"I will seal myself away and await the opening of the next great era… In this one, it is not that I cannot become an Emperor, but that the timing will not wait for me."

After entrusting everything to Su Chen and leaving the Wang family in his care, Wang Yunfei returned to the Emperor Palace. Together with Fan Qingyin, he sealed himself away, waiting for the dawn of the next great era.

The Supremes of the forbidden zones—perhaps battered enough—did not emerge again.

It made sense. Divine Evolution Great Emperor had slain four, gravely wounded one, and driven two to flee. Then came the battle against the Spirit Divine King, in which two more emerged only to be severely injured. The only one who profited, Supreme Zhou Guang, had taken the Spirit Divine King's arm bone and vanished without a trace—seemingly wary of something.

These were Supremes whose lifespans neared their end, forced to gamble everything in one last desperate bid. The others, if they conserved their vitality, might endure another few hundred thousand or even a million years. There was no need to risk death against a newly ascended Great Emperor. If they lost that gamble, the consequences would be unbearable.

"Fang Bubai… it was actually him who became Emperor!"

Su Chen felt both surprise and a sense of inevitability.

Aside from the Spirit Divine King, Fang Bubai had been the closest to the peak of Quasi-Emperor. After the battle with the Spirit Divine King, he had gained the greatest benefits.

As the thunder tribulation faded, a new great Dao slowly rose in the cosmos once more, suppressing all beneath it.

"Congratulations to the Invincible Great Emperor—ascension to the Emperor Dao!"

After the primordial era, the thirty-fourth Great Emperor had appeared!

The ones who rejoiced most were the people of the Eastern Wasteland's Prison-Suppressing Sacred Land… With Fang Bubai's ascension in this era, had they not become an Emperor lineage?

After achieving the Dao, Fang Bubai traveled to many places. With a Great Emperor alive in the world, the myriad races of the cosmos dared not disobey.

In the end, Fang Bubai returned to the Heavenly Profound Domain. Heaven, earth, and the myriad races once again returned to peace.

In this era, an utterly terrifying Dark Turmoil erupted. The number of Supremes involved could be counted on two hands. Astonishingly, despite so many Supremes emerging, the catastrophe did not lead to the extinction of all life. Among every recorded Dark Turmoil in history, the number of casualties in this one was the fewest.

Eight hundred years later, Su Chen's cultivation reached the peak of the Saint realm.

He resigned from his position as patriarch of the Wang family. His most outstanding descendant took over as the new patriarch.

The Wang family's last remaining Saint King had grown decrepit with age. Su Chen had no choice but to seek out an opportunity to break through to the Saint King realm.

Another eight hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Su Chen successfully advanced to the Saint King realm.

A Saint King enjoyed eight thousand years of lifespan—an extension of three thousand more years. Yet Su Chen knew that, given his aptitude, he would likely never have the chance to reach the Great Saint realm in this lifetime.

After breaking through to Saint King, Su Chen returned to the Wang family. The last Saint King of the clan had reached the end of his life. In a final desperate gamble, he ventured into a life-forbidden zone and never emerged again. His soul lamp extinguished soon after.

The Heavenly Profound Domain had undergone enormous changes. Thanks to Fang Bubai's ascension, the domain had been elevated to an Emperor Domain and become the new center of the cosmos. The Eastern Wasteland had replaced Central Continent as the most powerful of the five.

Su Chen traveled to the Eastern Wasteland. Almost all of his old acquaintances had perished over the years. Yet Ling Wuya of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Land had survived multiple cataclysms and turmoil. Now he served as the Sacred Land's lord and had become a Saint King powerhouse. When the two old friends reunited, they spoke freely and joyfully for a long time.

Several months later, Su Chen departed the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Land and headed to the Southern Barbarian Lands.

The former Heavenly Sword Sacred Land had failed to produce even a single Saint during this great era. Its original territory had been seized long ago, and the sect had vanished into the river of history.

Su Chen arrived at the new Sacred Land that now occupied the site. He made no effort to conceal his Saint King aura. A trembling Saint soon appeared before him.

"Senior, what brings you here?"

Su Chen spoke calmly. "This seat once had ties with the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land of old. Tell me—did your sect destroy them?"

The words alone drained the color from the Saint's face. He trembled uncontrollably.

Su Chen gave a faint smile. "This seat sees that your cultivation has not been easy. Hand over the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land. In return, I will find a suitable successor for them. That way, I will not have betrayed the old bonds."

The Saint dared not refuse. He knew full well this was outright robbery, yet under the crushing pressure of a Saint King, he had no choice but to comply.

Chapter 124: Witness of the Era (Finale)

Su Chen obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land without the slightest effort. It included a powerful ancient saint scripture and the secret method by which the Sacred Land's Sacred Sons had turned their very bodies into swords. He spent a hundred years comprehending it and gained profound insight. His martial dao grew even more complete.

Su Chen returned to the Wang family and sealed himself away. Five thousand years later, he was awakened. A new genius had emerged in the Wang family and was preparing to break through to the Saint King realm.

Su Chen stood guard for him until the breakthrough succeeded.

"Perhaps it is time for me to pursue my own martial dao path."

After entrusting the Wang family to that Saint King descendant and leaving behind his own Saint King artifact as the clan's foundation, Su Chen set out alone into the starry expanse beyond the domains. He sought the methods of the myriad races. Different species walked different paths, and the road Su Chen chose was to fuse those countless paths into one invincible dao.

He traversed many places and explored numerous ruins.

A thousand years passed. Su Chen found himself fleeing pursuit. Several Saint King powerhouses from different races chased him across star domains.

"All I did was borrow a few cultivation methods. Is that really worth such pettiness? Stately Saint Kings, and yet not a shred of magnanimity."

Su Chen shook his head at the frenzied Saint Kings of various races snapping at his heels like mad dogs. After decades of evasion, he finally shook them off. His name spread across many star systems because of it—though the reputation was far from flattering.

Su Chen maintained that it was all slander! Notably, he had been traveling with Hu Miaomiao the entire time, wandering among the various races. But no matter how careful one was, walking along the river eventually led to wet shoes. In the end, he was exposed, and the powerful began to hunt him. Clearly, he could not act openly for a while.

Su Chen turned his gaze toward the forbidden zones.

When Hu Miaomiao learned of his plan to enter one, she clung desperately to his leg in terror.

"Master… the forbidden zones are too dangerous. Why don't we just return to the Heavenly Profound Domain?"

Under Su Chen's constant nurturing over the years, Hu Miaomiao had broken through to the Saint realm a century earlier.

Su Chen rolled his eyes, then carried her straight into the forbidden zone.

"The forbidden zones really are very dangerous…"

Su Chen nodded in agreement. He chose one without a residing Supreme. Inside, he encountered terrifying killing formations, yet they failed to stop him. He even found a maturing sacred herb… only to be chased out by several Saint Kings of the zone. One even wielded a Great Saint weapon. Su Chen had no choice but to retreat for the time being.

He continued to wander, witnessing the brilliance of countless different civilizations. In the end, he paused above an ancient planet.

His once-saintly body now radiated decay. His full head of black hair had turned stark white.

"Miaomiao, do you still remember the way back to the Heavenly Profound Domain?"

Hu Miaomiao crouched beside him. After so many years traveling together, she understood his condition better than anyone.

"Master, let Miaomiao accompany you into one more forbidden zone. We'll return to the Heavenly Profound Domain together."

Su Chen shook his head. He knew his own body best.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back… If you are willing, take my corpse back to the Wang family. Tell them not to bury it. Instead, refine it into a weapon. In a critical moment in the future, it might protect the Wang family for a time. And if you cannot return to the Heavenly Profound Domain, you may eat my corpse. I won't blame you."

A weary smile appeared on Su Chen's aged face.

Hu Miaomiao wept uncontrollably.

"In this life, I have borne witness to two great eras. That is enough to leave me without regrets."

The era of Divine Evolution Great Emperor had not yet faded when the era of Invincible Great Emperor began.

Across two consecutive great eras, Su Chen had served as their witness. Having weathered storms and tempests, he lived eight thousand years before finally passing peacefully at the end of his lifespan.

Three years later, Su Chen closed his eyes for the last time and departed this world.

A tiger saint carried his aged body, step by step, toward the direction of the Heavenly Profound Domain.

…

Inside the Reverse Fate Space, Su Chen felt as though he had just awakened from an immensely long dream.

Eight thousand years of life—this was longer than any of his previous existences… even longer than the sum of his first nine lives combined.

[Tenth Life: You were born the second son of the Wang family. You had an elder brother endowed with the qualifications to become a Great Emperor, and you were fortunate enough to be born into a truly golden era, an age when stars shone with unparalleled brilliance.]

[You refused to live forever as a mere backdrop to your brother's legend. In your youth, you resolutely left the clan and set out to forge your own path.]

[You swept aside the prodigies of the Southern Barbarian Lands of the Heavenly Profound, leaving no one daring to challenge you. Even the monsters of the previous era cast sidelong glances your way. In the great battle of the Eastern Wasteland, you were defeated by a former invincible figure, yet from that loss, you gained a true friend and began to walk your own dao. You established a foothold in the great era.]

[In Central Continent, you witnessed what true Great Emperor potential looked like. For a time, you even believed the imperial destiny of this age belonged to the Wang family. While Wang Yunfei battled along the path to the Emperor, you anchored the Wang clan. You yearned for the starry expanse, yet you understood that place was not meant for you in this life. Being the patriarch of the Wang family suited you far better.]

[Thereafter, your life was filled with twists and turns.]

[Divine Evolution Great Emperor feigned death and drew out the forbidden-zone Supremes. In a single war, he slew four Supremes, forcing the forbidden zones to bow their heads. You bore witness to that historic moment.]

[The Spirit Divine King you had once suspected would revive did indeed awaken, attempting to seize the imperial destiny—only to be besieged by all sides and defeated once more. That lesson stayed with you forever.]

[Your old acquaintance seized the opportunity and proved the Dao. The heavenly mandate did not rest with the Wang family after all, but with your former friend Fang Bubai. You personally witnessed the glorious ascensions of two Great Emperors; two magnificent eras connected seamlessly. What you once thought would be an early death in the chaos of the age instead rekindled your will to live.]

[In the great era, you chose to pursue your own path. After waiting for the Wang family to raise a new Saint King, you resolutely departed the clan and the Heavenly Profound Domain. You ventured forth to behold the splendor of the myriad races and witness the brilliance of different civilizations.]

[In this life, you became the witness beneath the great era—observing the dazzling heights of prosperity, yet also stirring storms that left many races gnashing their teeth in hatred. In the end, you passed away peacefully amid that flourishing age.]

[Evaluation: Four Stars (Purple )]

[Reward: 40000 Reverse Fate Points]
