318 – Returning from Chaos! The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor and the First Generation!

As the four dark quasi-immortal emperors maximized their power and launched a terrifying attack on Wang Ping, monstrous waves surged across the Sea of Realms, wiping out countless worlds.

Even the River of Time was greatly disturbed, causing fluctuations both upstream and downstream.

This disturbance also drew the attention of the quasi-immortal emperors across the River of Time.

They gazed upon this earth-shattering battle, their hearts shaken, unable to find peace.

After all, whether it was the four dark quasi-immortal emperors or Wang Ping, none of them were just ordinary quasi-immortal emperors. They were far stronger.

At this moment, all the quasi-immortal emperors throughout time sighed, certain that Wang Ping was destined to die.

Even though Wang Ping’s power seemed to be rising, it was not enough to face the strongest attacks of four dark quasi-immortal emperors simultaneously.

Moreover, Wang Ping was already heavily injured, making it even more impossible for him to withstand such terrifying attacks.

For a moment, a quasi-immortal emperor thought of traveling along the River of Time to assist Wang Ping against the four dark quasi-immortal emperors.

But before he could make a move, his body exploded.

Although he recovered, he had undoubtedly suffered severe injuries.

“The cause and effect of this situation are too great for me to bear,” muttered the quasi-immortal emperor, heart trembling.

In the next instant, Wang Ping was hit by the strongest attack of the four dark quasi-immortal emperors, his body completely disintegrating, turning into void and gradually dissipating.

Only a heavily cracked eyeball remained, staring at the four dark quasi-immortal emperors.

The gaze in that eye was still fearless, unwavering, serene, as if indifferent to its impending death.

“Hmph, your talent may make you unafraid of death, but it is meaningless. Dead is dead,” a dark quasi-immortal emperor sneered, grabbing Wang Ping’s eyeball and mercilessly destroying it, not wanting to leave him any chance of survival.

Although he regretted not being able to devour Wang Ping, to prevent any unexpected changes, they were determined to eliminate him completely.

Seeing this, all the strong cultivators sighed inwardly, feeling that the battle was about to end, with Wang Ping mercilessly slain by the four dark quasi-immortal emperors.

The four dark quasi-immortal emperors shared the same thought and planned to return to report their success.

With Wang Ping dead, they only needed to wait quietly for the darkness to descend.

At that time, their master would grant them supreme power, giving them a chance to reach the level of three digits.

However, at this critical moment, a sudden change occurred.

Endless chaotic energy suddenly spread, engulfing the entire area and the whole Sea of Realms, with a terrifying aura brewing within.

“Not good!”

Seeing this, the four dark quasi-immortal emperors’ pupils shrank abruptly, and a sense of foreboding filled their hearts.

Then, they acted without hesitation, wanting to obliterate the chaotic energy completely.

“I am Chaos, reborn from Chaos. Chaos is the source of all Dao, the ancestor of all Dao, capable of transforming all things,”

A voice resonated, shaking the hearts of those who heard it.

Simultaneously, the Dao of the Fantasy World responded to this voice. Infinite splendors emerged, countless worlds and the Sea of Realms began to evolve into chaos, with even chaotic immortal lotuses blooming.

Then, a figure emerged from the chaotic immortal lotus.

Every step he took left a chaotic footprint that transformed into a lotus, evolving all things.

This scene made the four dark quasi-immortal emperors’ faces change dramatically, revealing expressions of fear.

Although Wang Ping now exuded no aura of power, the mere presence of this energy was enough to terrify them.

This was definitely not something a quasi-immortal emperor could accomplish.

“Could it be that he has found rebirth through the trial of death and reached the level of an Immortal Emperor?”

The voice of the only female dark quasi-immortal emperor trembled.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You and I both know that this world can only birth one Immortal Emperor. Unless the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor falls completely, there can be no second Immortal Emperor!”

The Scarlet Quasi-Immortal Emperor’s expression fluctuated as he shouted.

“Right! He cannot possibly be an Immortal Emperor; he is merely reborn!”

“So what if he’s reborn!? If we could kill you once, we can kill you a second time!”

The remaining two dark quasi-immortal emperors’ expressions turned grim, unleashing a terrifying killing intent.

With that, the two of them launched an attack on Wang Ping.

“Like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, overestimating one’s abilities.”

Looking at them, Wang Ping’s eyes were clear, and he calmly uttered these eight words.

“Arrogant!”

Seeing Wang Ping only speak those eight words without making any move, the two dark quasi-immortal emperors flew into a rage, unleashing their strongest killing techniques.

Time and space were annihilated, the chaotic energy was being destroyed.

However, even in the face of such powerful attacks from the two dark quasi-immortal emperors, Wang Ping’s expression remained unchanged. He didn’t even think of taking action, merely taking another step.

With that step, another chaotic immortal lotus gradually bloomed.

Then, the terrifying attacks of the two dark quasi-immortal emperors mysteriously dissipated, as if they never appeared.

This caused the two dark quasi-immortal emperors to stiffen, their pupils constricted, and feel fear once again after a long time.

This feeling was something they had only experienced upon first meeting their master.

“You!”

The two dark quasi-immortal emperors were terrified, wanting to escape from Wang Ping’s side.

But, it was too late.

No one could see how Wang Ping made his move, but the bodies of the two dark quasi-immortal emperors began to gradually dissipate, transforming into chaotic energy, completely perishing.

“Hiss!”

Witnessing this scene, quasi-immortal emperors from all points of the Time River were shocked to the extreme, finding the sight before them incredibly eerie.

After all, these were two dark quasi-immortal emperors far surpassing ordinary quasi-immortal emperors, erased so simply.

Could such methods truly be those of a quasi-immortal emperor?

Could this mysterious powerhouse before them really not be an Immortal Emperor?

At this moment, the Scarlet Quasi-Immortal Emperor and the female dark quasi-immortal emperor also fell silent. Death’s shadow loomed over their hearts, making them feel the breath of death once again.

“Killing us is futile,” the female dark quasi-immortal emperor said hoarsely. “As long as our master lives, we will be revived. You will also be completely erased by our master.”

“I am the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, who emerged from chaos, invincible within chaos, capable of transforming all enemies in this world,” Wang Ping calmly said, looking serenely at the female dark quasi-immortal emperor.

As his words fell, the female dark quasi-immortal emperor’s body also began to disintegrate, turning into chaotic energy.

Before dying, she gazed at Wang Ping in daze, remembering the past and sighing profoundly. Eventually, she transformed into chaos.

“Ha ha ha… This time, you have won. But, we shall meet again,” the Scarlet Quasi-Immortal Emperor laughed ferociously, attempting to self-detonate.

However, just as he was about to self-detonate, Wang Ping appeared before him, placing a hand on his face.

At this moment, Wang Ping’s expression was not as calm as before but was extremely cold and indifferent.

This caused the Scarlet Quasi-Immortal Emperor’s expression to stiffen, realizing his power was being neutralized, unable to self-detonate, and he couldn’t move.

“Wanting to die is not so easy,” Wang Ping coldly remarked, directly employing a chaos spell.

In an instant, the Scarlet Quasi-Immortal Emperor’s physical body was implanted with a restriction, forcing him into a kneeling position. His soul was enveloped by chaotic energy, relentlessly crushed and reformed.

Death was unattainable.

Life was unbearable.

What awaited the Scarlet Quasi-Immortal Emperor was endless eons of sealing and torment.

Then, with a casual flick of his hand, Wang Ping threw the Scarlet Quasi-Immortal Emperor into the center of the World Sea, where countless beings across different worlds, regardless of their cultivation, could miraculously see the figure of the Scarlet Quasi-Immortal Emperor and understand the crimes he had committed.

After dealing with the Scarlet Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Wang Ping clasped his hands together, causing the chaotic energy pervading the World Sea to surge.

Those destroyed worlds began to reform within the chaos.

And those annihilated beings were reborn within the chaos.

Everything returned to its original state.

Only the anomaly, dragged into reincarnation by the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, remained a hidden threat.

Wang Ping’s gaze was deep, chaos swirling around him, as if he saw scenes within reincarnation itself, causing him to involuntarily squint his eyes.

However, Wang Ping said nothing, taking a step forward and disappearing from the World Sea.

After Wang Ping left, all beings in this Fantasy World began to praise Wang Ping, involuntarily kneeling and worshiping him as the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor, equal to the Heavenly Dao.

Realm of Life and Death, Reincarnation Path, Wang Ping arrived there.

The Bridge Keeper seemed to have been waiting for Wang Ping, sitting at a stone table, toasting to Wang Ping with a smile, saying, “Congratulations on taking that step and gaining a new life. Becoming an Immortal Emperor is just around the corner for you.”

“It was merely luck,” Wang Ping replied, raising his cup, looking at the immortal brew before him, and downing it in one go with a shake of his head.

He had successfully triggered the effect of the Four-Digit Talent: Death-Exempt Medal—fearless, unafraid, ethereal.

However, it was not enough; he had still been killed.

Yet, the Four-Digit Talent: Death-Exempt Medal, worthy of exceeding talent levels and comparable to three-digit talents, not only boosted his combat power but also enhanced his Dao comprehension.

That ethereal state raised his Dao comprehension to the pinnacle.

Thus, before his death, he successfully comprehended the Chaos Dao, the Chaos Immortal Emperor’s Scripture, becoming a being comparable to an Immortal Emperor.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor’s Scripture could transform all methods and all things into chaos, allowing him to return from chaos.

Upon his return from the chaos, the Chaos Immortal Body was finally perfected.

In the previous simulations, the sacrifice of Ye Cang, the quasi-immortal emperor, merely achieved a pseudo-perfection in the domain, but it was not the true perfection.

However, this was normal. Ye Cang may have had a perfect Chaos Body, and though he was a quasi-immortal emperor, it was impossible for him to elevate the exceptionally powerful Chaos Immortal Body, which rates in the triple digits in terms of talent and physique class items, to its complete perfection.

Thus, it was after he broke and then rebuilt, after his rebirth from the chaos, that the Chaos Immortal Body truly reached its perfected domain.

Hence, he could be this powerful.

Before him, the four quasi-immortal emperors, who had their power enhanced by darkness and even burned their essence, were as insignificant as ants. He could obliterate them effortlessly without even making a deliberate move.

He, although not an Immortal Emperor and without the Dao fruit of an Immortal Emperor, had a physique, divine soul, and magical power reaching realms close to an Immortal Emperor, and already possessed combat power on par with the level of an Immortal Emperor.

“Friend, did you intentionally release part of the anomaly’s power and interfere with the future I saw?”

Wang Ping looked at the Bridge Keeper and spoke again.

Wang Ping knew from the moment he arrived that the Bridge Keeper before him was no longer just the Bridge Keeper, but the will of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.

Therefore, the Bridge Keeper dared to call this existence, almost equal to an Immortal Emperor, his friend.

Otherwise, a quasi-immortal emperor would never dare to call someone at the level of an Immortal Emperor a friend.

The term ‘friend’ could only be used when both parties had a deep relationship, or when they had the same status and realm.

“You could say that.”

The Bridge Keeper, or more precisely, the will of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, nodded and admitted.

“However, there are some things you should be able to see by now.” The will of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor sighed and continued, “This anomaly is very strong and continues to grow stronger. It’s very hard for me to keep him suppressed within the cycle of reincarnation.”

“So, you need help, hoping that by breaking and rebuilding myself, I can become an existence on par with an Immortal Emperor, and help you eliminate the anomaly?”

Wang Ping nodded slightly and spoke.

“Yes and no.” The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor nodded, then shook his head, speaking with a profound look, “What I’ve done represents both my will and that of ‘His’.”

“’Him’…” Wang Ping was silent for a moment before speaking slowly, “My senior, from the Dust King Palace?”

Although Wang Ping had some guesses, he had not expected that even the one at the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor’s side had intervened and influenced his will.

“Yes.” The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor nodded, staring at Wang Ping and speaking slowly, “So you never had a choice from the beginning; you must move forward and defeat the enemy.”

“In your life simulations, you gave me many hints. I should have realized it earlier. However, I was still too inexperienced and did not perceive it amidst the fierce battles.”

Wang Ping said softly.

“Fortunately, my two partners helped me. Otherwise, no matter how good my luck was, I would have perished.”

As he said this, Wang Ping summoned two items.

These two items were none other than the Chaos Immortal Garment and the Essence Devouring Pearl.

The Chaos Immortal Garment and the Essence Devouring Pearl had also revived from the chaos.

However, compared to Wang Ping, who couldn’t become an Immortal Emperor due to the world’s constraints, the Chaos Immortal Garment and the Essence Devouring Pearl had no such limitations. They were about to advance to Emperor’s Weapons upon their revival from the chaos.

But this process required some time.

“Experiencing too little can also be considered a good thing.”

The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor sighed as he looked at Wang Ping’s Chaos Immortal Garment and Essence Devouring Pearl.

“It is indeed a good thing.”

Wang Ping stared at the will of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, his eyes penetrating the river of time to witness the past of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.

Unlike Wang Ping, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor had not been so fortunate.

In his era, the anomaly appeared, and he fought against it in extraordinarily fierce battles.

In the end, his Dao companion, friends, children, all his followers, and countless immortal beings in his world chose to sacrifice themselves, utilizing a special item to make the sacrifice. Only his newborn daughter was not sacrificed.

As a result, through the power of the sacrifices, he painfully broke through that bottleneck and became the first and only Immortal Emperor of his time.

After proving himself as an Immortal Emperor, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor used the laws of the Reincarnation Dao to drag the anomaly into endless reincarnation, curbing most of its influence on this Fantasy World, and began a long-term struggle against it.

This was the past of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.

Theoretically, as an Immortal Emperor who practiced the Reincarnation Dao, he should easily be able to revive those who were sacrificed.

However, the reality was that he couldn’t do it.

All his power was used to suppress the anomaly, making it impossible for him to extricate himself.

Moreover, the special item had severe limitations. Even an Immortal Emperor couldn’t revive those sacrificed.

As for his only surviving daughter’s experiences, Wang Ping was already aware that she had perished within the Heavenly Tower.

Therefore, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor sighed, saying that experiencing less was a good thing. Wang Ping had experienced so little that in reality, there was no companion, friend, child, or follower. This allowed him to explode in power due to the destruction of two quasi-immortal emperor weapons.

Had it been like the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, it would have been genuinely tragic.

“You follow ‘Him’ to resurrect those who sacrificed themselves, including your daughter, right?”

Wang Ping sighed as he gazed at the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.

The double-digit figures undeniably stood at the pinnacle of the Allheavens Playground and the multiverse.

However, to become a three-digit existence, unless one has had special experiences, they generally possess an indomitable spirit and would not easily submit to a two-digit existence, following their commands unconditionally…

Those who do so must have their own special purposes.

“I cannot resurrect them, but if it’s a two-digit existence, that’s a different story…”

The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor sighed with a complex expression.

“As for my most beloved youngest daughter, she also sought to help me suppress the anomaly and find a way to resurrect those people. Despite my warnings, she bravely chose to charge into the Heavenly Tower and opted for Abyss Mode…”

“However, the Abyss Mode of the Heavenly Tower is far from easy. In the end, she still died within, unable to be resurrected…”

At this point, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor’s face was filled with bitterness, looking extremely dejected.

He was the first Immortal Emperor, invincible in the world, yet so powerless. He couldn’t resurrect those people, couldn’t stop his youngest daughter, nor bring her back to life.

“A two-digit existence cannot revive your little daughter either, can they?”

Wang Ping sighed and spoke.

“Indeed, they cannot. For those who die within the Heavenly Tower, no one can resurrect them. Unless someone climbs to the top of the Heavenly Tower, becoming a one-digit existence, an eternal being, omniscient and omnipotent…”

The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor nodded and said in a deep voice.

“But to become such an existence is an impossible thing.”

“Indeed, it’s difficult. After all, even two-digit existences have died on the eighty-ninth floor. Climbing to the top is a pipe dream.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.

“No, the rumor that two-digit existences fell on the eighty-ninth floor is false.”

The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor’s eyes were profound as he shook his head to deny Wang Ping’s words.

“What?”

Wang Ping was stunned, somewhat astonished.

“Wait…”

Soon, Wang Ping reacted.

The information he knew was all derived from Alpha.

At its peak, Alpha was only a four-digit existence, and before his transmigration, it had already become less than a six-digit existence.

Such an existence likely got its information from hearsay.

Moreover, the real intelligence regarding two-digit existences would not easily appear in the public eye.

Besides, Alpha only said that a two-digit existence died in the Heavenly Tower but did not specify who it was.

“If a two-digit existence did not die, then the record known to the public about the Heavenly Tower must also be incorrect?”

Wang Ping’s eyes shimmered as he posed a question.

“Previously, it was indeed the eighty-ninth floor. But now, the record is the ninetieth floor. The reason no one has reached the hundredth floor has a critical reason.”

The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor shook his head slightly and spoke.

“What do you mean?”

Wang Ping frowned slightly, curiously inquiring.

“As you know, the climbing of the Heavenly Tower requires a sufficient number of people to start the game. The mechanism of the Heavenly Tower is peculiar; for the first twenty-nine floors, a team of at least five players is generally required…”

“From the thirtieth to the fifty-ninth floor, a minimum of four players is needed. From the sixtieth to the eighty-ninth floor, at least three players are required.”

“Upon reaching the ninetieth floor, the conditions change. It not only requires the participation of two-digit existences but also requires three players who have achieved an SSS-level Abyss evaluation on all previous floors…”

“In other words, by the ninetieth floor, there aren’t enough players to start the game. Because even within the Allheavens Playground, excluding that one, no other player has ever accomplished this feat…”

The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor spoke slowly, eyes filled with respect and regret for that existence.

“…”

Hearing the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor’s words, all the threads in Wang Ping’s mind connected instantly, finally understanding why the senior of the First-Generation Transmigrator Chat Group had schemed against him and nurtured him.

Simultaneously, he realized that his difficulty choice in the Heavenly Tower could only be Abyss Mode.

Because that senior from the First-Generation Chat Group was grooming teammates for the Heavenly Tower game…

His ambition was great; it was clear he aimed to reach the pinnacle of the Heavenly Tower, becoming a one-digit existence, an omniscient and omnipotent eternal being.

And Wang Ping was one of the meticulously selected most suitable players.

Because his Talent was naturally suited for scaling the tower…

However, such an existence could not place all bets on one individual.

In other words, besides him, there might be many other pawns cultivated by him within the multiverse.

It’s just that these pawns likely did not meet his expectations and died during their growth…

Like Wang Ping, if he did not pass this hurdle, he would have died too.
