Chapter 1479: Destroy the World? Ascend the World (First update, seeking votes)

"All of this was forced upon me by my father; I was also helpless, but if I hadn't killed them at the time, I would have been the one to die."

Source Emperor immediately pushed all the responsibility onto the Human Emperor, clearing himself of everything.

Source Emperor's words were not without reason, but the problem remained: how many people could tolerate such things? Fratricide was one thing, but to have the corpses refined into clones and enslaved for a lifetime was another.

Li Zhangsheng naturally could not accept the ruthless Source Emperor, nor did he have any intention of leaving him a way out; in his eyes, Source Emperor was no different from a dead man.

"I want to know the details regarding the Human Emperor's three clones."

Regarding the Human Emperor's three clones, Li Zhangsheng only knew of the God of the Dark Night in the Dawn Plane; he did not know the other two, nor did he even know which planes they were located in.

However, these could be ferreted out from the captured Demigods, Holy Spirits, and petitioners.

"Father rarely told me these things; he hid many matters from me, and he didn't even tell me his overall plan."

"Then tell me what you know!"

"I don't know much; much of it is speculation."

"Speak!"

Source Emperor pondered for a moment and continued: "The reason Father did this is likely not because he couldn't survive the next Five Decays of Heaven and Man as rumored by the outside world, because as long as he summoned those three clones back and re-imprinted them with the Fairy World's mark, with the assistance of these three clones, surviving the next Five Decays of Heaven and Man would not be difficult. I speculate that his goal is very likely the same as the Heavenly Emperor of the past—he wants to unify the Three Realms and become the Sovereign of the Three Realms. No, there might even be a greater scheme!"

"Continue!"

"Normally, he had absolutely no need to send these three clones to other planes to develop, because I don't know what price is required to erase the Fairy World's mark, but it must be huge."

"If it were just one of the planes, that would be one thing, but they were scattered to three planes. Based on the little information I have gathered, the distance between these three planes and our world is not very far."

Seeing Li Zhangsheng deep in thought, Source Emperor organized his words and continued: "I have two deductions: either my father wants to destroy our world, or he wants to make our world ascend. I think the second possibility is greater."

Li Zhangsheng's team did not completely trust the information obtained from Source Emperor, but he did not see any flaws either. Judging from the current situation, even if Source Emperor was lying, at least eighty percent of the content was true, otherwise he could not have deceived him at all.

In this way, combined with the Human Emperor's actions over the past year, Li Zhangsheng also roughly analyzed his true intentions, provided that Source Emperor had not misled him.

From the organized information, the regicide was the Human Emperor's first step in his scheme, mainly to create a Puppet Emperor and use the Blood Sacrifice of an Emperor to break the Heavenly Realm barrier.

Unfortunately, Aidi was only Emperor for three minutes before being

beheaded by Li Zhangsheng.

It was not just Aidi; the Wuxiang King might also have been a substitute. It is even more likely that the Human Emperor wanted to sacrifice both Aidi and the Wuxiang King after he became Emperor. This way, there would be no need to sacrifice millions of commoners, and the Human Emperor would not be filled with such extremely rich Karma as he is now.

If it were not in the Heavenly Realm, the Purple Firmament Qilin's 'Acting on Behalf of Heaven's Punishment' would likely have transformed into the Eye of the Heavenly Dao to bring down a Thunder Tribulation upon the Human Emperor.

In this first step of the scheme, Wudi, Spirit Emperor, and Wendi were the Human Emperor's main targets. This can be known from his secret collusion with the previous East Sea Dragon King, as the territories of these three Emperors were not far from the East Sea.

The East Sea Dragon Clan are not King-Rank Beast Masters; as long as the planning is proper, infiltrating their territory would not be sensed, and they could be caught completely off guard.

Unfortunately, Wudi was saved by Li Zhangsheng, and Wendi first had the help of the Phoenix Clan from Flame Canyon, then was rescued by Li Zhangsheng and Wendi, and even killed Aidi and the Wuxiang King, directly causing the failure of the Human Emperor's first step. The only harvest was killing the Spirit Emperor.

Taking a step back to analyze, if the first step of the scheme had succeeded, the Human Emperor would have had Phoenix Emperor openly and Source Emperor secretly. If one added Aidi and the Wuxiang King after he became Emperor, that would be five out of nine. If he further won over the entire Dragon Clan, he could at least occupy half the country.

To be honest, if the first step of the scheme had gone smoothly, the difficulty of the Human Emperor unifying the Human Realm would not have been very high. After all, he had the secret help of Source Emperor, this 'filial son'. As long as he let Source Emperor divide the Blood Emperor and Xuan Emperor, he could defeat them one by one.

To take a step back, even if he could only occupy half of the Human Realm, as long as the Human Emperor initiated the second step of the scheme—the Blood Sacrifice of an Emperor to break the Heavenly Realm barrier—his strength would appear to be weakened, but he could rely on the Myriad Demon Banner to subdue the Ten Great Tribes. His strength would increase rather than decrease, and he would likely wipe out the inheritance of the Heavenly Realm. After all, the Blood Emperor and Xuan Emperor do not have top-tier Forbidden Arrays and would likely be unable to break the Tiandi Pingzhang.

At that time, the Human Emperor could become the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, and then he could use the much more abundant resources to carry out dimensional strikes, making it truly not difficult to unify the Human Realm.

But times have changed; the failure of the first step of the scheme resulted in the Human Emperor becoming a lone man on the surface, with only the 'filial son' still in the shadows.

Although this was very unfavorable for the Human Emperor, he still took advantage of the opening of the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum and resolutely initiated the second step of the plan after Li Zhangsheng and the others entered the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum, performing a Blood Sacrifice on the Phoenix Emperor and millions of people to open a gap in the Tiandi Pingzhang and successfully enter the Heavenly Realm, wanting to become the Lord of the Heavenly Realm.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng gathered 365 Kings to form the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, and with the help of several Supreme Beings and the Dragon Clan, he managed to break the gap in the Tiandi Pingzhang that had not yet fully recovered, once again causing the Human Emperor's scheme to go bankrupt. His only harvest was merely obtaining a Purple Gold Gourd, yet he could not make up for the losses.

Now it is good; Source Emperor, this 'filial son', has leaked the Human Emperor's bottom line, allowing Li Zhangsheng to deduce the Human Emperor's general plan.

Even if there are discrepancies in the first two steps of the plan, they likely do not differ by much.

As for the third step of the plan, it is very likely as Source Emperor said: either he wants to destroy the world, or he wants to make the Fairy World ascend.

If the first two steps of the plan had succeeded, the Human Emperor would certainly have hoped to make the Fairy World ascend, so he could use this to seize the authority of the world, become a Tenth-Rank Beast Master, and even enslave the Heavenly Dao.

Now it is different; the Human Emperor's scheme has failed, and he is likely to change his plan, or even become desperate and want to destroy the world.

As for how to make those three worlds move closer to the Fairy World, it must have to do with the Human Emperor's three clones; the principles behind it are known only to the Human Emperor.

Whether for prevention or to understand the truth, Li Zhangsheng must make a trip to those three planes.

No matter what, Li Zhangsheng must kill these three clones.

As for how to deal with Source Emperor, this 'filial son', it is naturally to squeeze him dry of his value, but he can be kept alive for the time being to give the Human Emperor a thought, and killed when the time is right.
