20,000 Years of Hard Work

Chapter 634: Twenty Thousand Years of Blood and Blood Inheritance

The First Ancestor Human Emperor was a little dazed, as if he had not yet recovered from Qin Mu's series of violent blows. However, the Second Ancestor and the others knew that he was confused about why Qin Mu did not learn his skills and magical powers.

His original intention was actually to motivate Qin Mu, let Qin Mu unleash more potential, and then teach Qin Mu his own skills and magical powers.

Qin Mu was indeed inspired by him. He risked his life and was fearless. He resolutely teleported himself to Taihuangtian. After going through many hardships and escaping death several times, he finally mastered the skills and had the strength to fight against him at the same level. It would be difficult for anyone to return alive from Taihuangtian. The difficulties can be imagined.

However, Qin Mu paid so much, but rejected his skills and magical powers with a word of disdain.

Is it that you disdain to learn his skills and supernatural powers, or that you disdain the way he behaves?

Maybe both?

The emperors of all generations looked at each other, then their gazes fell on the Second Ancestor, and they all stretched out their hands to poke the Second Ancestor in the waist.

The Second Ancestor Emperor felt pain and reluctantly stepped forward, saying in a careless manner: "Old man... Bah, you look younger than me! Master, Qin Emperor has his own pride. If you hadn't destroyed our hard work and smashed my bones and tombstone, he wouldn't have done this to you. Don't complain about yourself. If he doesn't want to learn, you can pass on your skills to me."

The First Ancestor Human Emperor looked at him, shook his head and said, "I gave you eight hundred years, but you still haven't been able to learn it. I have given up hope on you. I think Qin Renhuang is a tyrant, and he will be able to learn it in a few months at most."

The Second Ancestor Human Emperor turned back angrily: "This is too humiliating. I won't go to persuade him. Whoever wants to go can go! With this temper, he deserves to be beaten to death!"

The other emperors looked at each other.

The First Human Emperor walked over, sweeping away his confusion and dejection, and said, "This is Yuming Palace, one of the thirty-six palaces. Although you are all Human Emperors, you have only been to the outer periphery of Yuming Palace, which is the Human Emperor Hall. I will take you to see the real Yuming Palace, follow me."

The Human Emperors were puzzled. He was secretly grieving just now, but now he wanted to take them to see the Yuming Palace. They really didn't know what the First Human Emperor was thinking.

However, the First Human Emperor was not wrong. Although they often came to the Human Emperor Palace during their lifetime, they actually didn't know much about it. They could sense that the space of the Human Emperor Palace was not just the land they saw before them, but every time they walked into the fog and tried to explore, they would return to the Human Emperor Palace.

Even if flying or running at full speed, the result is always the same. As you fly or run, a Human Emperor Palace will appear in front of you, as if no matter which direction you go, it is a circular road.

At that time, they knew that someone had used great magical power to fold the space near the Human Emperor Palace, not wanting others to discover the secrets deep inside the Human Emperor Palace. And this person could only be the First Ancestor Human Emperor.

The First Human Emperor must have had his reasons for hiding the Yuming Palace, but why is he opening it now?

The First Ancestor Human Emperor led them forward and said, "Yuming Palace is not a place of high power, but it is also a very sacred place in Kaihuang Heaven. It is a place for teaching and educating people. There are four Heavenly Masters working here. When the disaster broke out, I studied here."

The Second Patriarch pondered, "Is one of the four Heavenly Masters dressed as a woodcutter? The founder of the Heavenly Saint Sect believes that he is a saint."

The First Ancestor Human Emperor nodded and said, "He was one of them. When the disaster began, he left Yuming Palace and went to the front line to make plans. Later, Yuming Palace changed and he thought I was dead. Then he found out that I didn't participate in the war but escaped. He never paid any attention to me again."

"Something happened in Yuming Palace?"

The other emperors were puzzled, and the Third Ancestor Emperor asked, "First Ancestor, what happened in Yuming Palace?"

The First Ancestor Human Emperor did not answer, but led them forward. Suddenly, the mist dissipated, and a magnificent heavenly palace complex appeared in front of them. There was a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps, and they were lined up one after another, and the spring scenery was fragrant.

The buildings are as bright and beautiful as a young lady in her twenties, the corridors of the palace are winding, the fragrance of books wafts from the doors, and you can vaguely hear the sound of people reading.

The emperors were all shocked and puzzled, as there didn't seem to be any fighting here, not even the slightest damage caused by magical power.

The palaces, buildings, pavilions, and pagodas all look incredibly bright, as if they had just been built, with no signs of erosion by time.

This is almost impossible.

The Kaihuang Heavenly Palace has been destroyed. Outside the Yuming Palace, you can still see traces of the war, scorched earth, and the tombs of countless gods and demons who died in the battle. How could this place not have been affected by any war?

The First Human Emperor said nothing and led them forward. They passed a large hall with many cushions inside. Young boys and girls were sitting in the hall, looking up at the front, as if listening to a lecture.

The Human Emperors were greatly shocked. These young men and women looked lifelike, yet they could tell that they had been dead for who knows how many years!

In the hall was a god or demon with a scholarly temperament. He raised one hand with a smile on his face, as if he was explaining the mystery of his magical powers to the young people in the audience.

This god and demon is also a corpse, without any life at all.

"Why is the body not decaying?" Emperor Qi Kang asked in a hoarse voice.

No one answered him.

The First Human Emperor continued to move forward, and they hurried to follow.

They saw more strange things on the way. They saw a little girl with two pigtails at the corner. She was running and chasing a black magical dog. The black dog was very naughty and led the little girl to chase it. There was mischief in the big dog's eyes and the little girl smiled and seemed to be clapping her hands and saying something.

However, the little girl and the magical dog were frozen in place. They both died in an instant, still maintaining the movements they had in their last moments of life.

The human emperors looked around, becoming more and more shocked.

Not far away, there is a god who looks like a scholar. In front of him stands a young girl. The girl is holding a few books in her arms and looking up, as if asking her teacher for advice on some difficult problem.

There were several young men practicing magical powers in the yard, and two of them were competing. They had a nimble posture and formed seals with their hands, as if they were performing a magical seal. The other young men standing nearby were smiling and whispering to each other, as if they were discussing who was more powerful.

The Human Emperors withdrew their gazes, suppressed the shock in their hearts, and followed the footsteps of the First Ancestor.

The more they looked, the more shocked they were. It was as if time had stood still here. There was no sound at all, and everyone was performing the last actions of their lives.

silence.

Absolutely dead silence.

The silence is so oppressive that it makes people breathless!

"Those who entered Yuming Palace to study were all outstanding talents among the younger generation of the Heavenly Court. However, the catastrophe occurred, and the entire future generation of the Kaihuang era was destroyed in one fell swoop."

The First Ancestor Human Emperor said woodenly: "The one who attacked here used the magical power of Youdu, and with one magical power, he wiped out the future of the Kaihuang era. I was lucky enough to escape, and I didn't dare to look back, and fled in a hurry. I originally thought that my Tao heart was strong enough, and no one could make me feel afraid, but when I saw so many companions, so many young people and gods and demons died, I collapsed all of a sudden..."

The Human Emperors were silent. Facing this unimaginable upheaval, it was hard for them not to collapse.

"I ran away, dispirited, terrified, like a lost dog."

The First Ancestor Human Emperor said in a hoarse voice: "I met the Heavenly Army that came to rescue me, but I was completely scared. I did not join them. I continued to flee until I realized that I had nowhere to escape. Where could I escape to? So I turned back and looked for them, and then..."

His face was distorted, and he was in unimaginable pain. He took a few deep breaths and said, "Then I saw the bodies of my comrades. Hehe, I should have fought side by side with them and died here together. However, I escaped, I survived, and they are buried here forever..."

He shrugged his shoulders twice, swallowed his tears, and said woodenly: "I stayed here, feeling bored and wanted to die with them. Just then, I saw many races fleeing. They were some supernatural beings escorting many mortals to flee. So I took them in, protected them, and found a place for them to live and reproduce."

"I searched for a long time and found the place where the Heavenly Palace fell. They were very grateful to me and respected me as the Emperor of Man. These ragged and exhausted people used their last treasure to refine a seal of the Emperor of Man and made a promise to their ancestors that they would keep in mind and would not dare to betray. But they didn't know that I was not the Emperor of Man they wanted. I was just a scared deserter!"

He laughed at himself and shook his head: "Heroes are made by the times. I don't want to be this hero, I don't want to be the emperor, but they pushed me into this position."

The Second Ancestor Renhuang asked, "Then you accepted me as your disciple and threw the Renhuang Seal to me. Was it because you felt that you were not worthy of this Renhuang Seal?"

The First Human Emperor nodded.

He came to a building, looked up at the nine-story building, and said softly: "This is Yuming Pavilion. There are many skills and magical powers from the Kaihuang era hidden in the pavilion, which are better than the Taoist skills and magical powers of Taihuangtian. You can go in and learn whatever you want."

He sat on the stone steps in front of Yuming Pavilion, feeling desolate and gloomy, looking at the people in front of Yuming Pavilion who looked like they were alive even though they had died long ago. They were familiar faces, and even though 20,000 years had passed, he could still call out their names.

The Second Ancestor, the Human Emperor, and others did not enter the Yuming Pavilion, but looked at him.

Suddenly, the Second Ancestor said in a hoarse voice: "Master, since you have better and higher skills and magical powers, why don't you pass them on to me? Why don't you pass them on to the world? Do you think that those people you saved are all mortals, all low-class people, and are not worthy of the skills here?"

He could not help but question loudly, sneering, "Yes, you are the emperor respected by all races, we are just the untouchables and mortals you rescued, we are not as noble as your bloodline, you are the prince, high and mighty, we are not worthy of your skills! If you wanted to pass it on, why didn't you do it 20,000 years ago?"

He couldn't help but feel the pain in his heart, and shouted: "Do you know? After you left, I fought against God alone. I fought desperately and was almost killed many times, but I persisted because of the broken seal you gave me. I think I am the emperor of mankind, and I should do something for the human race! Teach me, please teach me!"

The first ancestor was Mu Ran.

The Second Ancestor pointed at the successive Human Emperors behind him and said sternly, "They, they also inherited your broken seal. For the ideals that you disdain, they have fought and struggled all their lives, and devoted their lives! Many of them have never married, have no children, and have no descendants, because they are afraid that their status as Human Emperors will bring trouble to future generations, and that their love affairs will delay their careers! But what about you? You have been hiding for your whole life, for 20,000 years - you have failed us!"

The First Ancestor's body trembled, and he shook his head and said, "I can't pass it on. There are only so few people left in the Kaihuang era. I can't pass it on to you. If I pass it on to you, you will become a threat and you will be destroyed."

He raised his head, his eyes filled with tears: "If I pass it on to you, it would harm you. I can't pass it on..."

The Second Ancestor was stunned for a long time, then said bitterly: "We are already dead now, and only our spirits are left. What's the point of you passing it on to us now?"

The First Ancestor buried his head in his elbows and said in a hoarse voice: "There are many bodies in Yuming Palace. They died too quickly, and the bodies were preserved. You...you should each take over another body and be reborn. The Qin Emperor needs you. Only then can he be called the Emperor of Man... Go! Go! Don't let me see you!"

The Second Ancestor and the Human Emperors of all generations were in a trance. Suddenly, the Second Ancestor bowed and said, "Teacher!"

The other human emperors bowed one after another, and when they looked up, the First Human Emperor covered his face and left.

"Will the First Ancestor come back?" Yishan asked.

The Second Ancestor was in a heavy mood and said, "He may have seen hope in Emperor Qin Renhuang, but he doesn't want to see the bodies of his old friends that we have reborn. I don't know if he will come back. After he comes back and sees our reborn faces, it will remind him of those old friends..."
