The First Human Emperor

Chapter 521: The First Human Emperor

There was a burly figure in the Human Emperor Palace. Qin Mu walked up the steps of the temple, and the box followed behind him with a clatter. Qin Mu raised his hand, and the box stopped outside the palace, folded its limbs and landed on the ground.

The box creaked open a crack, and inside the crack, Long Qilin rolled his eyes and saw that there were desolate graves all around. After thinking for a while, he finally crawled out with difficulty, and followed Qin Mu cautiously with his belly pressed against the ground. He also lowered his tail very low, but he didn't dare to let it touch the ground for fear of making any noise.

Suddenly, Long Qilin felt something stepping on his tail. He let out a sharp scream, and all the hair and scales on his body exploded.

Qin Mu turned around and glared at him. Long Qilin quickly raised his claws and stuffed them into his mouth, so that no sound was made.

He looked back and saw the box following him quietly. It was this thing that stepped on his tail and scared him half to death.

Qin Mu had a headache. He wanted to drive them out, but he felt it was inappropriate to drive these two guys out in such a sacred and solemn place. He had no choice but to let them follow him and whispered, "If you make trouble again, one of you will chop wood and make fire, and the other will eat meat at the table!"

He came behind the figure and only then realized that he was not shorter than the other person. He was still growing and was only one inch shorter than the other person.

However, the figure gave him the impression of being very tall, and its momentum and temperament brought a shock to his soul.

This figure is the First Human Emperor. Qin Mu had seen his stone statue in Xiaoyujing.

"You are the thirty-sixth Human Emperor, right?"

The First Ancestor turned his head to look at him. This was a man who looked to be only in his thirties. He had a beard and was very tough. He gave people a very down-to-earth and reliable feeling.

"It's the thirty-seventh generation."

Qin Mu said: "The village chief is my master. He introduced me to the sect. This is my first time here."

He looked forward and was slightly startled. Only then did he realize what the First Human Emperor was looking at.

There were rows of bookshelves, with countless books on them. The space inside the Human Emperor Palace was large, but there was no magnificent decoration as Qin Mu had imagined, no tall and majestic statues, no luxury at all, only rows of bookshelves.

Qin Mu walked forward and picked up a book at random. The handwriting on it was very unfamiliar, but he felt a familiar sword intent between the lines.

This is a book written by the village chief.

This book is the village chief's discussion of the skills and supernatural powers of Qiao Xingjun from heaven. He has had many confrontations with Qiao Xingjun. In the book, he discusses the advantages and disadvantages of Qiao Xingjun's various skills and supernatural powers, and studies their flaws.

Qin Mu put down the book and picked up another one. This book described Yu Jun's skills and magical powers as well as their advantages and disadvantages. He glanced through other books, most of which were about the experience of the skills and magical powers of the gods in heaven.

Qin Mu also found the sword diagram, which was a huge pile of files. The village chief recorded how to practice his sword diagram, the operation and artistic conception of each sword technique, which was obviously prepared for future generations.

He came to the second bookshelf. The handwriting on the bookshelf was full of majestic atmosphere, with a surging and passionate feeling like a volcanic eruption. It should have been written by Emperor Kang of Qi.

These books also describe the advantages and disadvantages of the skills of the gods, as well as the methods they speculated to crack. In addition, there are also the skills and magical powers of Emperor Qi Kang himself.

However, Emperor Qi Kang wrote in the book that those who practiced his skills were fools, that he had never defeated the gods in his life, and that practicing his skills would only lead to following in his old ways, and it was obvious that he was very discouraged between the lines.

“No wonder every generation of Human Emperors would not practice their master’s skills, but would stubbornly develop a new skill.” Qin Mu suddenly understood the Human Emperors of all generations in Fengdu.

They are all losers and do not want their disciples to follow their old paths. The reason they left their skills to others is probably simply because it is the result of their life's work. They want to have successors, but cannot pass it on to their disciples.

This may be the biggest regret of their lives.

"The books on these bookshelves are all Pingshang Cangce."

The First Ancestor Human Emperor came over, stroked the books on the bookshelf, and said, "They all regarded Heaven as their greatest rival and spent their entire lives trying to crush Heaven. Unfortunately, they all failed. You can stay here and study hard for a while, which will help you carve out your own path."

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "Most of the gods in Heaven have been killed or injured, and the four kings of Heaven have all died in battle. Heaven is no longer a major threat now. Most of the books on this bookshelf are useless, except for the skills of the emperors of all generations. My target is not the gods of Heaven, nor do I want to flatten Heaven."

The First Ancestor Human Emperor showed a look of surprise and looked at him: "What is your goal?"

Qin Mu looked directly into the eyes of the sage and said in a deep voice: "My goal is to tear open this false sky, reform this unfair world, change the law for progress, and recreate a prosperous era that does not belong to the Kaihuang era!"

His eyes were eager, and he said loudly: "First Ancestor, this is also your goal, right?"

"no."

The First Ancestor's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head and said, "I don't have such lofty ideals as you. I have been worn down by time and enemies. You are still young, and you still have drive and motivation, but I am just an old man who is discouraged and lazy. Sooner or later, time will wear you down, and enemies will wear you down. By then, when you come to the Human Emperor Palace, you will leave a book like other human emperors, writing down your failures in a book, and expecting future generations to do what you can't do."

His voice was a little cold, and became more and more cruel. "You are a loser, just like them. You will quietly build a thatched hut. You will sit in the hut with all your hopelessness. You don't want your successor to repeat your failure, but the responsibility of the Emperor will force you to find a successor. In the thatched hut, you will shed tears of regret, you will resent your respected master, and you will carve a monument for yourself, with your failure written on it."

He sneered, "You think you don't deserve a grave, don't deserve to see your ancestors, and then you will take your last breath like those dry bones in the thatched cottage!"

Qin Mu's eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief, and he felt that the image of the wise and mighty First Human Emperor in his mind suddenly collapsed!

The First Ancestor said coldly: "Do you still want to be the Human Emperor? Let me tell you a cruel fact, there is no Human Emperor in this world!"

His voice was extremely cold: "When I rescued various races from the great disaster, I already knew that I was a loser! I rescued them because I was weak. I couldn't bear to see these mortals and these races die in front of me. But I am just a deserter!"

He laughed loudly, pointing at the countless graves in the mist outside the Human Emperor Palace, and said loudly: "I am a deserter on this battlefield. When I was fleeing, all I wanted was to get away from this hell! I ran away, I didn't fight with them, I ran away alone! I thought countless times afterwards, what would happen if I stayed? There is only one result, that is, to become a corpse like them!"

He laughed a little crazily: "Yes, they died, but I survived and became the emperor in the hearts of the people! People respect me because I brought them to a place where they can survive, so what? I just turned them into prisoners. The whole sky is fake, it's a big cage, a prison that cannot be escaped, and everyone is a prisoner in the cage! I didn't take them to escape, I just sent them to the prison of the gods!"

"Human Emperor? Haha, Human Emperor! There is no Human Emperor in this world!"

He was furious, took a step forward, approached Qin Mu, and his terrifying aura forced Qin Mu to retreat: "Throw away your ridiculous fantasy, let go of the burden in your heart, you are not the Human Emperor, from the beginning to the end, the Human Emperor is fake, just the murderer who sent the world into the cage of the gods!"

His breath forced Qin Mu to be unable to breathe, and he had to use all his strength to fight back.

"So why did you come back?"

Qin Mu's chest was almost flattened. He took a breath with difficulty and asked loudly, "Why did you come back to erect a monument for those who died in the battle? Why did you bury them? Why are the weapons they used in the battle placed under the monument?"

The First Ancestor's momentum suddenly calmed down, and he lowered his head: "I am back again, back to this battlefield, to bury them, because I feel guilty. I know I am not worthy of being the Emperor of Man, and I am here to atone for my sins."

Qin Mu couldn't believe it and said, "Don't you have any hope in your heart?"

The First Ancestor said expressionlessly, "No. Young man, let go of your fantasies. This farce of the Human Emperor should have ended long ago."

Qin Mu lowered his head, and after a moment, he raised his head and smiled, the same sunny smile as always that of a big boy: "You failed, they failed, but I haven't failed yet. If you don't want to be the emperor, I will be."

The First Ancestor sneered, revealing a sarcastic look: "Why do you do this?"

Qin Mu said loudly: "My last name is Qin, my ancestors were Kaihuang, I have the blood of the Qin family of Wuyou Township, and I am also a tyrant. I will do it! Any problem?"

The First Ancestor tilted his head and sneered, "You have too many titles and too much glory in your heart. What's the use of the Kaihuang bloodline? The Kaihuang was defeated and has not appeared for 20,000 years. What's the use of the Tyrant Body? The Tyrant Body is just a legend. I have never heard of any achievements of the Tyrant Body. You are just a young man, a child... Let me break your fantasy!"

He waved his sleeves and suddenly attacked Qin Mu.

Qin Mu was shocked and tried to block it hastily, but he felt that the power coming from his attack was not that strong and was stunned.

The First Ancestor burst into power, and the aftermath of his magical powers immediately lifted up the books on the bookshelf, sending them flying into the air with a rustling sound.

"Don't destroy these books!"

Qin Mu was furious. He roared and punched out. Behind him, a bell rang and a giant Buddha appeared. Fourteen heavenly gods and Buddhas surrounded him and turned into fourteen halos.

"The skills of the Great Leiyin Temple, my little Dao ear."

The First Ancestor broke it with ease, punched Qin Mu in the chest, and said calmly: "With just these, you can't protect the book, nor can you protect yourself."

Qin Mu was knocked away by his punch. He turned into a black shadow in mid-air and walked close to the ground. The First Ancestor touched the ground with his toes and shook him out of the shadow. He used his vital energy as a sword and stabbed Qin Mu in the center of his eyebrows.

"With this little ability, you will only end up dead in the future!"

The First Ancestor sneered, "You are also a loser."

Qin Mu was furious. He gathered his energy into a sword and pointed his finger out. The two people's swords collided with each other. The sword skills clanged and the sound of clanging and dinging continued. The books falling from the air were shredded by the sword energy.

Qin Mu was furious: "Don't destroy their hard work!"

"You come and stop me."

The First Ancestor laughed and said, "If you can't defeat me, all you'll leave behind is a pile of junk!"
