Chapter 133

In a certain ancient land, Ye Hei froze, as if he had thought of something, and for a moment his gaze grew complicated.

He hadn't expected that an existence as dazzlingly brilliant across the ages as the Ruthless Emperor could actually have long since been able to ascend to immortality, yet was unwilling to, and was instead waiting for someone to return!

And that person...

... seemed very likely to be him!

After all, Duan De's recap video had once said that if he had sacrificed himself from the very beginning, he could have awakened the Empress...

This undoubtedly showed that he was connected to the Empress, and combined with the current revelation, it could almost be confirmed — he was very likely the person the Empress was waiting for!

However...

Ye Hei didn't quite understand.

Was he truly the person the Empress was waiting for?

"Could it be you?"

In the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone, the Ruthless One's gaze cut through eternity, piercing through the ages, as if she could see Ye Hei at this very moment.

She murmured softly to herself, her expression neither sorrowful nor joyful, with only a hint of longing hidden in the depths of her eyes; memories of days past surfaced in her mind, like a revolving lantern.

The scene continued to shift:

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of audiences across the myriad realms, the scene concerning the Ruthless Emperor appeared.

【Desolate Ancient Era】

In the scene, a remote, small mountain village appeared.

3.9 Besides this, a little girl also appeared; she was wearing clothes patched with stitches, behind her was a broken-down house, yet her face was beaming with a smile.

The reason was simple — at this moment she was playing with a boy, and this boy was her older brother!

Obviously...

This little girl was the future Ruthless One.

And as the scene shifted, days passed one after another; although life was poor, the Ruthless One was very happy.

Because...

She had her brother with her!

Although they depended on each other for survival, although they were poor, the best brother in the world would make her funny-face masks.

Even though...

This was their only toy!

But the Ruthless One didn't care; she needed no extravagant jewelry or ornaments — even if her brother only used a piece of bronze to make her a ring, it could make her happy for an entire day!

Although it was very crude...

To her, this was the most precious thing!

However, the good times did not last long.

One day, terrible news arrived!

A group of cultivators from the Feather Transformation Divine Dynasty came to their door, dressed in precious attire, intending to take the boy away, and prettily claiming that the boy was talented and needed to be specially cultivated!

The reason was simple...

The boy possessed the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

This constitution was the strongest physique of that era, so they said they wanted to take him into the Divine Dynasty for cultivation.

But in reality...

This was merely to reforge the Immortal Ascension Cauldron...

The audiences across the myriad realms, who had long been spoiled with spoilers, also knew that everything the Feather Transformation Divine Dynasty said was a lie!

"I can go with you..."

"But I beg you, take my sister with you — as long as you take my sister, I'll do anything you say!"

In response, the boy, knowing he could not refuse, pleaded desperately, hoping they would take the Ruthless One with them.

However, the little girl's aptitude was too poor; she could barely even cultivate, so the cultivators of the Feather Transformation Divine Dynasty refused, and forcibly separated the two.

Just like that...

Amid the little girl's crying...

The boy was taken away, leaving her alone.
