Chapter 37

The huge hand that suddenly appeared in the sky left countless human cultivators stunned on the spot.

"What... what is going on?"

"It seems a big hand appeared out of nowhere and directly crushed that Divine Race expert to death."

"Heavens, just what kind of method is this, so terrifying?"

"I recall, a thousand years ago, there was an emperor who could cover the sky with his hand and once crossed the void..."

"Hiss, you couldn't be talking about that one, could you? But didn't he already die on the immortal path?"

Everyone's scalp went numb; this black giant hand seemed to have a significant origin, and just mentioning it made no one dare to speak that emperor's name lightly.

Someone shook their head slightly and said.

"We can't worry about that now; the Divine Race is invading en masse, and all the holy lands are gathering."

"Let's go; as long as they can reach the Human Race Imperial Pass, everything can be discussed."

After the words fell, everyone took a deep look at the departing war chariot, which turned into streaks of flowing light and vanished into the horizon.

……

……

Inside the huge carriage, someone gazed at the infant whose arms were as white as lotus root, revealing a look of shock.

"No, bro, you started with a max-level account?"

As a Great Xia native who had been reincarnated from three thousand years ago, he looked at the person ahead and could not figure it out.

Who the hell is born with emperor-level cultivation? This cheat is a bit over the top, huh? The infant ahead slowly turned around; his face showed a maturity completely mismatched with his age, and his eyebrows, not yet fully grown, furrowed slightly.

"I am the Red Moon Great Emperor; I don't understand what you're saying."

The Red Moon Great Emperor, a Child of Destiny born from humanity over a thousand years ago, his signature move is the Heaven-Covering Hand, and his mount is a giant coffin pulled by a flood dragon.

Unfortunately, while crossing the void, he was targeted by something unknown and passed away on the Ancient Starry Sky Road.

Now, a thousand years have passed, and he still doesn't understand why he was reborn.

Moreover, the ancestral land's laws seem to have changed as well.

Perhaps in this life, he can break his shackles and reach an unknown realm above! The Red Moon gazed at the firmament, his eyes burning.

Inside the carriage, the reincarnated transmigrant from Great Xia furrowed his brows slightly.

Just as he was puzzled, another infant jumped down from the seat.

"He should be a powerhouse born within these three thousand years; we are reincarnated, while he is reborn."

"This brother, let me introduce myself, Xu Zheng."

"Born in 2300, in life he was at late Nascent Soul, dying after the spiritual aura metamorphosis of 2400."

After him, another female infant opened her eyes.

"Born in 2310, Chen Qian, highest cultivation was Great Perfection, dying in the heavenly tribulation after the second wave of monster and demon retreat."

"Tsk, everyone's starting to reveal their hands, so I won't hide either."

"Born in 2296, Huang Wu, who once ascended to the heavenly realm, garrisoned the Milky Way, and was a Human Immortal."

"Holy shit, I remember that scene; back then I bawled my eyes out!"

"Hahaha, don't even get me started; even now I still long for the Milky Way frontier pass."

"It's really nostalgic..."

Voices sounded one after another in the carriage; although they had no prior acquaintance in their past lives, at this moment, the reunion after three thousand years made them instantly feel like brothers.

After a moment of silence, someone's face turned solemn as they spoke.

"Everyone, what exactly is the current state of the world?"

"What I've learned is that back then, many demonic seeds seemed to have fallen from beyond the Milky Way, transforming into the present Divine Race."

"Then, in the universe, the Monster Race began to combine with these demonic seeds, continually growing stronger, while we humans have several times nearly been exterminated."

"The current situation is that humanity lacks strong experts, and the inheritances of many Holy Lands and sects are nearly severed; what just appeared outside this war chariot should be Divine Race beings." "But how does this Human Race Imperial Pass work?"

Everyone fell silent; for now, it seems the situation is extremely dire.

Beside him, the Red Moon Great Emperor furrowed his brows even tighter.

Although this group before him had low cultivation, each of them exuded an intimidating aura, and some of their talents even surpassed his own!

Hearing their conversation, it seemed they too came from three thousand years ago! He looked at the crowd and slowly spoke.

"The Human Race Imperial Pass is this world's last line of defense for humanity, fortified and guarded by generations of Emperor Realm experts."

"Now guarding it is an emperor who is almost on the verge of passing away."

"Inside are seventy-two Holy Lands and thirty-six sects, all garrisoned by strong experts; even if the Divine Race exerted all their strength, they might not be able to breach it in a short time."

"However, over these thousands of years, human powers have had friction, with many Holy Land experts showing a strong tendency to defect to the Divine Race."

"Thus, this Human Race Imperial Pass is not necessarily completely safe."

Everyone's gaze instantly fell upon him.

"Are you a reincarnated Human Race emperor?"

"Yes."

"Did you hear our earlier conversation? Can you understand our origins?"

"You come from three thousand years ago."

"Do you believe it?"

"Originally I didn't believe it, but since I too have been reborn, I can faintly sense the will and aura of the Heavenly Dao, as if it's guiding me to travel with you."

"Hey, Great Emperor brother, that's right; come sit over here, and we'll have a good chat."

"Three thousand years ago..."

Everyone chatted among themselves, and thus they pulled the Red Moon Great Emperor, this Child of Destiny, into their group.

In a moment, his eyes instantly showed a look of shock.

Three thousand years ago, the human race was still a technological civilization.

Lu Chen Old Ancestor guarded the pass, turning himself into the Heavenly Dao for all beings! If it were before, he would never have believed it, but now facing these people, they not only described everything vividly; the various immortal arts they discussed were even unclear to him, let alone fully comprehended!

Moreover, in this reincarnation, he faintly felt that he had been bestowed a certain mission by the Heavenly Dao! It seemed that he had come to protect these heaven‑chosen ones!

He suddenly opened his eyes; profound and mysterious breaths gathered in his mind, and various divine powers seemed to pour into his body from the void.

In his previous life, the divine abilities and techniques he could not comprehend suddenly became clear at this moment! This, this is a blessing from the Heavenly Dao!

The Red Moon Emperor was shocked to the extreme; he gazed at the firmament, increasingly certain of his mission in this life—to protect these human heaven‑chosen ones! At that moment, the voices of the crowd kept coming from his ears.

"Holy shit, quick look, Dadi Ge, this divine light keeps flashing—could he have just had an epiphany?"

"Damn, he truly lives up to being a child of destiny!"

"What exactly is his physique?"

"I don't know, but I have an Innate Sacred Body; once fully cultivated, all laws cannot invade me!"

"Hiss, that's awesome—I have a Prison‑Suppressing Immortal Body; supposedly invincible in the world, though it consumes massive resources."

"Alright, alright, you're all showing off, huh? I kicked off with the Seven Great Dharma Aspects—all are illusory shadows of ancient gods. Once my realm rises, who can fight me?"

"You're all so amazing, but I don't have any special physique or any Dharma Aspects, and my talent is just ordinary."

"No way—did you offend Lu Chen Old Ancestor?"

"That's not it..."

"I have a system in my head; I get stronger by slaying demons and monsters."

At that moment, the entire carriage fell deathly silent.
