[Chat Group For The Death] Chapter 301 - 305

Chapter 301: Are You Actually the Emperor?

Howard Stark asked in surprise: "There are two groups of Transformers tracking the AllSpark? Does that mean the Transformers are divided into factions?"

Lucas: "Yes! The planet where the Transformers originate is called Cybertron, and there are two main groups there. The group of good guys called Autobots, and the group bad guys is called Decepticons."

Howard Stark: "Do these two groups jointly govern Cybertron, using electoral campaigns to gain power?"

Lucas: "Wrong! Cybertron's environment is not so peaceful. Autobots and Decepticons are two opposing forces. Their relationship is one of life and death—they will kill each other on sight."

Howard Stark: "That's actually good news. Let's hope they don't form an alliance against outsiders."

Lucas: "Fortunately, the Autobots are very friendly toward other species. In the original future, they stood alongside Earth's humans."

Sebastian Shaw: "Like Clark Kent? Another alien traitor to his kind? Earth's luck is truly remarkable—the Earths across different worlds seem fortunate, often encountering these self-sacrificing beings."

Lucas: "Don't be too optimistic. I have two versions of the story here. The first version is as I described—the Autobots are peace-loving, while the Decepticons are driven by conquest and war."

Lucas: "The Decepticons want to claim Earth as their own. Earth and the Autobots, who want to destroy the Decepticons, formed an alliance. Together they've thwarted the Decepticons' plans numerous times. A teenager on Earth even formed a close partnership with the Autobots."

Sebastian Shaw: "That sounds promising, if a bit clichéd. Group Leader, what's the other version of the story?"

Lucas: "The Decepticons wanted to harvest Earth's energy to return to Cybertron. The Autobots and Earthlings joined forces to stop them and seize the energy the Decepticons had collected. The energy transformed by the Decepticons couldn't be utilized by humans, so they generously gave it to the Autobots."

Lucas: "This pattern continued, with countless battles between the two sides. Eventually, after repeated defeats, the Decepticons collected enough energy to return directly to Cybertron. And the Autobots, using the energy humans had given them, also left Earth."

This plot comes from the comics, completely different from the movie. However, Lucas feels the real story is what's portrayed in the comics.

Individual intelligent beings may sacrifice themselves for others, but collective intelligence will never make such grand sacrifices to benefit others.

Individual wisdom may lean toward emotion, but collective wisdom inevitably gravitates toward rationality—more ruthless and selfish.

Sebastian Shaw heard Lucas's explanation and looked confused: "Huh?"

Howard Stark said speechlessly: "Is the Group Leader suggesting that the Autobots and Decepticons are putting on an act?"

Lucas: "Why couldn't they be?"

Whitebeard: "Of course they could! They're from the same planet. Even if they were originally enemies, they could mend their relationship. To achieve a common goal, cooperation between them isn't impossible—it's entirely reasonable."

Howard Stark: "I hope Tony doesn't get deceived!"

Lucas: "Don't worry, that scenario is unlikely."

Tony Stark's scientific research in the Transformers world continued, and the straightforward, somewhat tedious research process made everyone in the chat group quite bored.

Sun Emperor suddenly asked: "Group Leader, do you know about my past?"

Lucas: "Of course! You're the famous Human Emperor who created the Sun Scripture—the foundational text for human practitioners."

Zheng Qizi asked sharply: "Human Emperor?"

Zhao Gongming was also surprised: "Are you actually the Emperor?"

Sun Emperor: "I am the Human Sovereign, though not the same as what you might imagine."

Zheng Qizi: "I understand, which is why I'd like to know more about you. Since you've taken the title of Emperor, you must possess the corresponding strength and achievements."

Lucas: "Rest assured, the Sun Emperor is definitely worthy of the title of Human Emperor. In the Shatian World where he resides, there was also a dark primordial period, similar to the primordial age of the Yang God World—a time when humans seriously lacked status and dignity."

Lucas: "The Yang God world had demon gods who preyed on humans, and the Shatian world had the ancient tribes, who used humans as their servants."

Dongfang Yuechu: "Ancient tribes? Is this a collective name for all races that existed in ancient times?"

Lucas: "No! Only those very powerful races can be called Ancient Tribes, equivalent to thousand-year-old dynasties in human society. 'Ancient Tribes' is the collective name for famous races that have existed since ancient times and continue to this day."

Sun Emperor: "That's correct! At that time, the human race had few powerful practitioners. However, because of our innate form, humans were distinguished from the ancient tribes early on. Cultivators of other races can only be trained after they reach a certain strength, but we humans are born with our human form."

Sun Emperor: "But this hasn't brought much benefit to our race, because even with our human form, we're far inferior to races with powerful innate talents in cultivation ability. On the contrary, our human form has attracted much jealousy and hostility."

Zheng Qizi: "Then you must have faced great difficulties, right? As a Human Emperor, you had to contend with other races of the same realm?"

Sun Emperor: "Indeed! Before I became the Ancient Emperor, I fought many life-or-death battles. But after I became the Ancient Emperor, I never encountered any powerful opponents. During my lifetime, it was a rare period when the human race could hold its head high."

Zheng Qizi asked suspiciously: "After you became the Ancient Emperor, no one dared to challenge you?"

Lucas: "The Shatian world differs from the Yang God world. The world where the Sun Emperor resides is quite special. They have a kind of celestial imprint similar to the purple essence of Hongmeng, but there's only one. Whoever integrates it will command a portion of the power of heaven and earth's laws."

Hongyun: "There's only one person who can fuse with it, and that's the Ancient Emperor? So there's only one Ancient Emperor in the Shatian world, which is why no one dares to move against the Sun Emperor?"

Lucas: "That's exactly right. Of course, this situation varies in different eras, but it was certainly true during the Sun Emperor's time."

Chapter 302: It can be harvested, but not rooted!

Sun Emperor: "The Ancient Emperor who merges with the Heavenly Heart Imprint is indeed powerful. With it, one can overcome ten thousand Daos, and no one in the universe can match them. Before I became the Ancient Emperor, I faced danger everywhere, but afterward, it was smooth sailing."

Sun Emperor: "The only things that could threaten me were the Supreme Beings in the forbidden areas, but they were all in a self-sealed state and dared not fight against me when they were close to death."

Zheng Qizi asked doubtfully, "What are these Supreme Beings?"

Sun Emperor: "Before ancient times, there was an era of mythology, and the emperors of that era were called Tianzun. Even without integrating the Heavenly Heart Imprint, people at that time could possess the power of an Ancient Emperor."

Sun Emperor: "Then Heaven and Earth continued to decline, and the number of powerful individuals that the world could accommodate became fewer and fewer. Only the strongest between heaven and earth can reach the level of Tianzun by integrating the Heavenly Heart Imprint."

Hongyun: "Didn't you say that the Heavenly Heart Imprint can only be fused by one person? Even if they once had the same power as you, they wouldn't be your opponents now, right?"

Sun Emperor: "Indeed! The power of the emperor can't seal itself at all, so they took a different path and transformed from Tianzun to Supreme Beings. Their level is already lower than mine, making them no match for me."

Sun Emperor: "But if they burn their vitality to the extreme, they can temporarily restore their peak power. During that time, they would be at the same level as me and could pose a genuine threat."

Zheng Qizi: "If that's the case, your situation isn't absolutely secure."

Sun Emperor: "Where is absolute security in this universe? There are countless unknown factors. Although those Supreme Beings can match me after their ultimate sublimation, the peak power during that time will kill them afterward, so I'm still relatively safe."

Sun Emperor: "To survive, they don't easily risk their peak strength. They remain sealed like living dead, enduring long periods of isolation. How could they casually burn their lives to fight me?"

Zheng Qizi: "Are the top powerhouses in your world also waiting for a change in the times? This is similar to the top powerhouses in our world. What exactly are the powerhouses in your world waiting for?"

Sun Emperor: "Immortality! Even Tianzun and Ancient Emperors have lifespans of around ten thousand years. But legendary immortals have truly eternal lifespans. These Supreme Beings seal themselves away, waiting for a chance to become immortals."

Hongyun: "Eternal life?"

Sun Emperor: "That's right! A true immortal can achieve a lifespan equal to that of heaven and earth itself."

Hongyun: "Then the level of true immortals in your world is quite high. The true immortals in our world can't achieve that level. Only golden immortals who have condensed immortal essence can match heaven and earth's lifespan."

Hongyun: "When I first heard the Group Leader say that the Heavenly Heart Imprint is similar to Hongmeng Purple Qi, I thought Ancient Emperors in your world were equivalent to our saints! Now it seems they're worlds apart!"

Lucas: "The Heavenly Heart Imprint is indeed similar in essence to Hongmeng Purple Qi. It's just that the human universe in the Shatian world is far inferior to the prehistoric world."

Sun Emperor: "Group Leader, do you know the future of my world? I have no regrets about my life, but I worry about the universe I once guarded. Although I believe Ancient Emperors will protect it as I did, those Supreme Beings always remain a hidden danger."

Hongyun wondered: "Why do you say those Supreme Beings are hidden dangers? They just want to become true immortals with lifespans equal to heaven and earth."

Sun Emperor: "If they don't become immortals, their lives will eventually be exhausted. Even if they cut themselves off and seal their sources, they still can't stop their lifespans from diminishing. The seals they maintain only slow this process."

Sun Emperor: "If the chance to become immortal doesn't appear before their lifespans near their end, they will forcibly emerge... There is a cruel and vicious secret method in my world that allows one to devour others' life essence to prolong one's own lifespan."

Dongfang Yuechu said, stunned: "Those Supreme Beings will hunt down others to extend their own lives?"

Sun Emperor: "That's right! Whenever a Supreme Being's lifespan nears its end, they will slaughter countless beings to prolong their existence. For beings of their level, the amount of life essence needed is massive."

Sun Emperor: "They wash the entire universe in blood, destroying one ancient star after another. Every time they appear, they cause immense disasters, recorded in history as the Dark Turmoil."

Sun Emperor: "We Ancient Emperors are the sole rulers of the universe, while they are rulers of the nine heavens and ten realms. They are the rulers of the entire universe and have an obligation to protect it. We stop these Supreme Beings from causing trouble during our lifetimes, but there's always a gap between consecutive Ancient Emperors."

Sun Emperor: "Even after the former Ancient Emperor completely falls, the Heavenly Heart Imprint requires thousands of years to cool down before the next Ancient Emperor can emerge. I worry about what might happen in the years following my death."

Lucas: "The events you fear have indeed occurred, and more than once. Not all Ancient Emperors can die peacefully like you—many choose to kill themselves and join forces with those Supreme Beings."

Zheng Qizi: "Isn't the Sun Emperor's world in grave danger?"

Lucas: "That world is indeed plagued with disasters, but it won't be completely destroyed. Even when Supreme Beings launch Dark Turmoil, they selectively spare young populations."

Lucas: "After all, they don't know how many Dark Turmoils they'll need to unleash, and more Supreme Beings will need life essence in the future. For those Supreme Beings, the lives in the Shatian world are like crops in a field—they can be harvested, but not completely uprooted."

Chapter 303: You are really getting smarter!

Sun Emperor said angrily: "Those Supreme Beings regard this calculation as their own kindness, which is simply shameless. If there weren't so many of them, I would have wiped them out completely back then."

Zheng Qizi suddenly said: "I see, there are many of them? Even if they're individually reluctant to sublimate, if you show your willingness to eradicate them completely, their combined strength would be enough to challenge you."

Sun Emperor said helplessly: "Yes! And among those sleeping Supreme Beings, there are some who would rather die than start a Dark Turmoil—they truly just want to witness the path to immortality. Their strength and complex internal composition make it impossible for me to eradicate them all."

Sun Emperor: "So I usually wait for the Supreme Beings who are nearing the end of their lifespan to throw themselves into my net, ensuring the other Supreme Beings have nothing to protest. When they emerge to start a Dark Turmoil during my reign, they're directly provoking me as the Ancient Emperor. By imperial authority, I can justifiably eliminate them."

Sun Emperor: "I believe that as long as the Ancient Emperors of all dynasties continue this approach, sooner or later, all those Supreme Beings will be removed. This is a long-term plan that requires the joint efforts of many Ancient Emperors to complete."

Lucas: "Don't worry! The plan you devised coincides with the thinking of many Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors who followed you. Many years after your death, the root cause of the Dark Turmoil was completely eradicated, and the once prestigious forbidden areas no longer exist."

Golden Lion Shiki suddenly asked: "Group Leader, was there a Son of Destiny involved in this?"

Lucas smiled: "You're really getting smarter! There was indeed a Son of Destiny involved. And that Son of Destiny was the main force in eliminating the Supreme Beings—the ultimate executor of the plan to eliminate them."

Sun Emperor asked with great interest: "A Son of Destiny? He must have possessed a terrifying physique!"

Lucas: "The Ancient Sacred Body!"

Sun Emperor suddenly exclaimed: "No wonder! Such a powerful physique, but unfortunately he couldn't become an Ancient Emperor. Does this mean 'Great Emperor' is another name for the Ancient Emperor realm?"

Lucas: "Yes! Tianzun, Ancient Emperor, and Emperor are different names for the same realm in different eras. But you're wrong about one thing—the Ancient Sacred Body obtained by the Son of Destiny wasn't particularly powerful. In his era, the Ancient Sacred Body was cursed with enormous restrictions."

Lucas: "He relied solely on his own strength to advance step by step. As for not becoming an Ancient Emperor, it doesn't matter. After all, the Ancient Emperor is an extra realm, and the Son of Destiny didn't need to reach that realm to become an immortal."

Sun Emperor said, stunned: "The Son of Destiny became an immortal? That luck is terrifying. I thought he would at most become a Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor! So immortality in my world isn't just a phantom legend?"

Lucas: "You greatly underestimate the Son of Destiny. He didn't simply become an immortal himself—he even broke the shackles of heaven before attaining immortality, allowing more people to become Emperors."

Sun Emperor asked with interest: "What method did he use to become immortal? There can't be a special method, right? If I could have become immortal simply through cultivation, I would have already achieved it."

Lucas: "There are many paths to immortality. The Son of Destiny lived through nine lifetimes. The ninth life leads to immortality—from mortal dust to immortal essence!"

Sun Emperor sighed: "It seems becoming immortal isn't so simple, and living through nine lifetimes is no easy feat! Even with longevity medicine to assist me, I could at most live through two lifetimes. But since you mentioned multiple ways to immortality, there must be other methods, right?"

Lucas: "Yes! One can cut off one's own strength and memories, then cultivate the Seal of Traverser. The combination of nine Traverser Seals can also transform someone into an immortal."

Sun Emperor said speechlessly: "The Seal of Traverser? That's the method of immortality calculated by Emperor Ming. I didn't have access to that cultivation method. It seems I had no chance of becoming immortal."

Pirate King Roger: "The Traverser Seals you're talking about aren't the same as the Traverser Seals in the Traverser Space, right? Let's experiment and see if we can use the Traverser Seals from the Traverser Space to become immortals!"

Lucas said speechlessly, "Don't be so imaginative—that's impossible. Besides, you needn't be disappointed. Some of your descendants have indeed become immortals."

Sun Emperor asked happily: "Is that true?"

Lucas: "Yes! The last descendant of your bloodline was accepted as a disciple by the Son of Destiny and followed him to the Immortal Realm. He will definitely become an immortal—there's no doubt about that."

Sun Emperor frowned and said: "Wait! What happened to my bloodline descendants? I was an Ancient Emperor who established a royal family and powerful dynasty. How could it have declined to just a single descendant?"

Lucas: "The imperial artifact you left behind was lost, causing your powerful family to gradually decline. More importantly, the spiritual remnant you left behind offended the extremely powerful Golden Crow family. The Golden Crow family ensured your dynasty's eradication, leaving only one bloodline descendant who was rescued by the Son of Destiny."

Senju Hashirama sighed: "No matter how powerful a family may be, they can't escape the fate of eventual decline. This holds true throughout the universe."

Hongyun said sharply: "The Golden Crow family? What a despicable clan! I hope their fate wasn't too favorable?"

Lucas: "They fared reasonably well! Their family later produced a Great Emperor, but unfortunately, he lived in the same era as the Son of Destiny. The Golden Crow Emperor, who was supposed to rule the nine heavens and ten realms with tremendous majesty, was overshadowed by the Son of Destiny's brilliance."

Hongyun said unhappily: "Is that all? I would have preferred to see the Golden Crow clan completely annihilated."

Sun Emperor: "No need! Since my blood descendants didn't seek to liquidate the Golden Crow clan, let it be! In the cultivation world, the strong prey upon the weak. If my family wasn't weak enough to be exterminated, then they should have been prepared to face elimination."

Chapter 304: Let me figure it out!

Hongyun: "As expected of a Human Emperor—I'm truly impressed by your mindset."

Sun Emperor: "To become an emperor requires a certain vigor. When I ruled the nine heavens and ten earths, all beings in the universe were my people."

Sun Emperor: "During my reign, it was natural for my blood relatives to hold more noble positions. But this doesn't mean they were inherently more noble than other beings, especially after I abdicated."

Sun Emperor: "The rules have been this way since the age of mythology, so there's nothing more to say."

Lucas: "Give me your pass to the Shatian world, and I'll help you destroy those ancient Supreme Beings. Of course, you can refuse, but that will inevitably lead to more bloodshed."

Lucas: "You know the nature of those ancient Supreme Beings—their survival depends on consuming the energy of other beings. The longer they live, the more frequently Dark Turmoil will erupt."

Sun Emperor: "Well... Alright! I trust you now, so I'll give you all my attributes!"

"Ding! The Sun Emperor sent an exclusive red envelope (Emperor's Book – Sun Bible) to Group Leader Lucas."

"Ding! The Sun Emperor sent an exclusive red envelope (Emperor Classic – Taiyin Bible) to Group Leader Lucas."

"Ding! The Sun Emperor sent an exclusive red envelope [Shatian World Pass] to Group Leader Lucas."

Lucas said in surprise: "You also possess the Lunar Bible?"

Sun Emperor: "You know about the Lunar Bible as well?"

Lucas: "Of course! 'The sun is yang and the moon is yin, the weak are weak and the strong are strong. Yin and yang together, and the world calls it emperor.' The Taiyin Bible and Sun Bible are known as the mother scriptures of the human race in the Shatian world. The human race's rise in that world is thanks to these two great scriptures you left behind."

Zheng Qizi: "Taiyin Emperor?"

Lucas: "There weren't many Ancient Emperors from the human race in ancient times. The Taiyin Human Emperor and the Sun Emperor were the two most illustrious. In an era when humans held low status, it was these two who provided the backbone for the human race."

Sun Emperor: "The Group Leader is wrong!"

Xiao Xuan: "Group Leader, now that you've obtained the pass to the Shatian world, do you plan to go there next?"

Lucas: "Of course! I'm quite displeased with those ancient Supreme Beings who prolong their lifespans by devouring the energy of other lives! I'm also annoyed by those primordial tribes who look down on humans in various ways."

Han Fei: "It's natural to have such thoughts, Group Leader. After all, we're all human! Though we come from different worlds, the principle of stopping those who harm others remains valid."

Liu Xing: "Since that's the case, Group Leader will take us to witness the Shatian world!"

Lucas: "Alright! But don't rush—I need to prepare first. Those ancient Supreme Beings in the Shatian world are formidable opponents. I must be fully prepared to defeat them."

The Ship of Creation, Monument of Immortality, Eternal Kingdom, Bridge to the Beyond, and the four god-tier vessels were all assembled by Lucas and restored to their peak power.

After taking the Queen of the four god-tier devices, Lucas decisively used the world pass and entered the Shatian world.

A gigantic universe, no less magnificent than the Yang God world, appeared before the chat group members.

Zheng Qizi said, stunned: "Is this the Shatian world? It doesn't seem much different from our world."

Raditz: "The universe is boundless. Can you truly sense how vast they are? Don't be ridiculous! Even if there's a gap between them, you wouldn't be able to perceive it."

Lucas: "Theoretically, the Shatian world should rank slightly higher than the Yang God world. This is a complete universe, and it can nurture immortals who will survive alongside the world itself."

Lucas: "Of course, this is only theoretical. After all, the immortals born in this world aren't directly related to the world itself. It could even be said that immortals can't be cultivated here through conventional means—they require special methods."

Sun Emperor: "What age is it now?"

Lucas: "Don't worry, let me figure it out."

Lucas used the Book of Changes and quickly assessed the current situation in this world.

Lucas: "We've entered the era of ancient times. The title of Ancient Emperor has become a relic of the past, like Tianzun. Now, the peak cultivators are called Emperors."

Sun Emperor asked with concern: "How is the human race faring in this era? I hope their situation isn't too difficult."

Chapter 305: It's a bit of a temperament!

Lucas said with a smile in the chat group: "Don't worry! Every era has its protagonist, and the ancient era is dominated by the human race."

Lucas: "During the mythological period, the gods coexisted. Those of unknown origins were the protagonists of that era. They became gods one after another and dominated the world."

Lucas: "In the ancient times, the emperor was unique—the Ancient Emperor ruled over the ancient tribes, and they were the protagonists of that era. In the later ancient times, with the rise of the human race and the emergence of Great Emperors one after another, humans became the protagonists."

Lucas: "It was during this time that one great human after another, both predecessors and successors, hunted down and eliminated the ancient Supreme Beings in the forbidden areas of life, eventually leading to the complete disappearance of these forbidden areas."

Sun Emperor: "The Group Leader is right—you've arrived at the perfect time. Your presence may help those Great Emperors who are fighting alone and reduce the bloodshed."

Xiao Xuan: "Group Leader, can I join the battle? Doesn't the chat group's ability allow us undead to participate?"

Sun Emperor: "If that's the case, I'd like to confront those ancient Supreme Beings in the restricted areas of life."

Lucas: "That's right! You can't die anyway, so let's have a proper confrontation with those ancient Supreme Beings!"

At this moment, the outside world suddenly roared. The space in front of Lucas shattered, and two tall figures—a man and a woman—appeared before him.

"An alternative enlightened emperor?"

The woman was strikingly beautiful, her phoenix eyes filled with curiosity as she examined Lucas.

"It's rare to meet such a fellow Daoist. Why don't we share a drink together?"

The man had thick black hair and smiled as he regarded Lucas.

"Gladly!"

Lucas smiled and didn't reject their friendly gesture.

Sun Emperor asked curiously in the chat group: "Who are these two people? That woman seems to be an Ancient Emperor, and the man's physical strength is comparable to an Ancient Emperor's."

Lucas: "The woman is known as the Queen Mother of the West, and she's a Great Emperor of this era. The man is her husband, a different kind of enlightened saint."

Sun Emperor: "Is that the Desolate Ancient Holy Body? It's truly powerful! That golden blood erupting from him—it's not difficult for him to compete with an Ancient Emperor."

Hongyun: "Queen Mother of the West? I didn't expect to hear this name in other worlds. There's also a Queen Mother of the West in our prehistoric world. She's the head of the female immortals appointed by the Taoist ancestors. @Zhao Gongming, do you know what happened to the head of the male immortals, the King Father of the East? I know what happened to the Queen Mother of the West, but I'm not familiar with his fate."

Sun Emperor: "The head of male immortals? The head of female immortals? Can leaders of immortals be appointed?"

Hongyun: "Of course! The Taoist Ancestor is the first saint in the world, the teacher of other saints, and the spokesperSon of Destiny's Dao. He appointed the heads of male and female immortals—who would dare disagree?"

Lucas: "Though no one openly disapproved, the King Father of the East was somewhat foolish. He believed that because the Taoist Ancestor made him head of the male immortals, he would actually control all male immortals in the primordial world. Unfortunately, in the primordial world, only strength commands respect!"

Lucas: "The King Father of the East lacked sufficient personal strength, yet he held the banner of Hongjun and established the Immortal Court to govern the primordial world. Later, Emperor Jun and Taiyi, who also aspired to control the primordial world, destroyed both him and his Immortal Court."

Lucas: "Until the King Father of the East died, Taoist Ancestor Hongjun never appeared. The Celestial Court established by Emperor Jun and Taiyi directly annexed the Immortal Court of the King Father of the East."

Hongyun: "I know all this. What happened to the Queen Mother of the West?"

Lucas: "When Emperor Jun and Taiyi established the Celestial Court to rule the primordial world, they naturally couldn't tolerate the existence of a head of female immortals. However, after the Queen Mother of the West surrendered the token of female immortal leadership given to her by the Taoist Ancestor, the celestial clan chose not to eliminate her."

Sun Emperor: "If that's the case, then Emperor Jun and Taiyi showed a degree of tolerance."
