He then retracted his smile, nodded, and said: "I will lead the masses to crusade against the Dark Realm. This battle, I've made my decision."

Xu Zhou's face showed a hint of confusion: "Why?"

Why must we crusade against the Dark Realm?

With the Human Emperor's strength, wouldn't it be a better choice to fortify Blue Star?

The Human Emperor looked into the distance and said slowly, "In the Dark Realm, an Ancient Ancestor is awakening."

"Ancient Ancestor?"

Xu Zhou's expression grew even more puzzled.

Beside him, Ao Qian noticed his confusion and couldn't help but say: "You still don't know how the Dark Realm came to be, do you?"

Xu Zhou shook his head.

Ao Qian explained: "In the extremely ancient times, there was an unimaginable existence who transformed himself into the Tao, integrating himself into the myriad worlds. Later, he was rejected by the cosmic will and became the dark side of the myriad worlds, which is now the Dark Realm."

"Transformed into the Tao? Integrated into the myriad worlds?"

Xu Zhou's pupils narrowed slightly.

He had originally thought that the Dark Realm was a natural occurrence or perhaps created by a powerful entity.

With his current ability, creating a universe wouldn't be difficult.

But transforming into the Tao, that was an entirely different matter.

Transforming into the Tao, integrating into the Heavenly Dao, meant complete transcendence, becoming a ruler outside the universe.

Such an existence surpassed all current rules, free from the jurisdiction of cosmic laws, standing outside the universe, overlooking the Time River.

Even a few hundred billion years, a few trillion years would be but a moment to such an entity.

If it truly was such an existence, then even the Supreme Realm before it would be like an ant.

No matter how strong the Supreme Realm is, it's just utilizing the rules of this universe.

But an existence of that level could overthrow the entire universe in a mere instant.

How could one even fight that?

Just as Xu Zhou was trembling within.

Ao Qian continued to add: "However, that being didn't truly transform into the Tao because he was rejected by the cosmic will and had to flee to the dark side, which is a kind of alternate transcendence."

"Since the Dark Realm exists because of him, he is also known as the Dark Realm Ancestor, even Emperor Clan experts rank below him."

Xu Zhou, hearing this, understood almost completely.

However, he still had doubts: "What does it mean for the Ancient Ancestor to awaken?"

Ao Qian said: "The Dark Realm Ancestor has been asleep since transforming into the Tao, but in recent years, there have been signs of awakening..."

"Cang Xuan and I, in this battle, aim to eliminate this hidden danger before the opponent awakens."

Xu Zhou's heart slightly sank.

Just hearing these words, he knew how difficult this battle would be.

To venture into an enemy's stronghold to kill their Ancient Ancestor.

Such an act would inevitably provoke all the Royal Families and the Emperor Clan of the Dark Realm to unite for an attack.

The current Blue Star is overwhelmed by merely one of the three major Emperor Clans of the Dark Realm.

And back then, the Human Emperor had to face the three major Emperor Clans and all the Royal Families of the Dark Realm.

More importantly, those from Blue Star, upon entering the Dark Realm, are destined to be suppressed by their realm!

Xu Zhou's heart grew heavier, as he began to speculate the Human Emperor's fate.

But whether the Dark Realm Ancestor had been dealt with remained unknown.

The Human Emperor, noticing his expression, calmly said: "Don't worry about me. Your arrival today is a cause; I will prepare many contingencies for it."

"Your being here indicates my success; otherwise, the future wouldn't have enjoyed thirteen thousand years of peace."

With that, he smiled: "Thirteen thousand years later, I suppose the Origin Realm should be flourishing, right?"

Xu Zhou was silent.

The Human Emperor saw this and frowned: "Am I wrong in what I said?"

"No, teacher, you are right," Xu Zhou smiled and said, "The present Origin Realm is extremely prosperous."

"Hahaha, that's right then."

The Human Emperor, very satisfied, said: "Even if only half my efforts succeed, future generations will be well enough to handle the remaining riffraff of the Dark Realm."

Xu Zhou nodded, not saying more.

Continuing this topic would only unravel more causality, potentially sparking a time storm that could obliterate the entire future.

Xu Zhou decided, at some point, to trace the history of the Human Emperor along this timeline.

He was unwilling to believe that an existence of the Human Emperor's level should fall silently.

Perhaps the latter had indeed left behind some contingencies, waiting for future generations to discover!

But just as he was thinking this.

The Human Emperor seemed to perceive his thoughts and said calmly: "Do not trace my timeline, otherwise, strong beings from the Dark Realm might notice, and such a situation would be extremely dangerous."

Xu Zhou was startled, forced to abandon his previous thought.

The Human Emperor then said: "You should return. I will leave my contingencies in the Dark Realm; wait until you reach the Supreme Realm and re-enter, then you will naturally understand."

Xu Zhou nodded, but before leaving, he quickly asked, "Teacher, is there any way to quickly breakthrough to the Supreme Realm?"

"Quickly breakthrough to the Supreme Realm?"

The Human Emperor pondered for a moment, then said: "To reach the Supreme Realm, you need to create your own Tao. The most important thing is the opportunity; this is something that can only be encountered, not sought... If you are eager to break through, you might try fusing the Law into the Heavenly Dao, perhaps finding new insights."

Xu Zhou, puzzled, asked: "Fuse with the Heavenly Dao? Isn't this only achievable through Transformation?"

The Human Emperor shook his head and said: "One is to fuse the Taoist Law into the Heavenly Dao; the other is to turn oneself into the Heavenly Dao. The difference is vast."

"I understand, thank you, teacher."

Xu Zhou did not say more, instantly transforming back into the form of the Fierce Dragon God.

His Divine Power Law was nearing its limit, it was time to return.

At parting, the golden flame was very reluctant; she looked at the Human Emperor and asked: "Master, will we meet again?"

The Human Emperor smiled and said: "We will, from now on, consider him your new master."

The golden flame nodded and floated back into the mind of the Fierce Dragon God.

The Fierce Dragon God gazed deeply at the Human Emperor and Ao Qian, then stepped out.

BOOM!

The Time River began to flow backward rapidly; in a blink, it was tens of thousands of years.

In the Heavenly Court.

The Human Emperor looked at Ao Qian and conveyed: "Before you leave, plant more seeds in the Origin Realm."

Ao Qian looked at him and sighed: "Seems that the situation in the future... is not very good."

For beings of their level, understanding everything with a thought is possible.

Although Xu Zhou had concealed well before, standing before them, his thoughts had long been seen through.

"Could it be that in the following tens of thousands of years, no new Supreme Realm emerged?"

Ao Qian furrowed his brow, this was a very troubling guess.

If there were no Supreme Realm, it would be challenging to contend with the Dark Realm.

Unless, they could completely eradicate the Dark Realm in this battle.

But at this point, Ao Qian couldn't help but exclaim, "Will this decision of yours affect future generations?"

"If there initially was no Supreme Realm in the future, but from the seeds you leave now, at least one emerged, it could change many things."

"If that happens, a time storm will arise, and the events that unfold will be unpredictable!"

The Human Emperor glanced at him, saying: "What if this decision was meant to be? Xu Zhou's arrival is the cause, my decision the effect. This causality always existed."

Ao Qian argued: "How do you know this causality is destined to exist? Perhaps his arrival was meant to alter everything."

The Human Emperor shook his head and said: "I had originally planned to take that Fire of the Great Tao to the Dark Realm for war, but after my successor's arrival, I decided to leave the Fire of the Great Tao in the Origin Realm; this causality, of course, exists."

As he spoke, a small flame appeared in his hand.

It was the same golden flame in the mind of the Fierce Dragon God!

But at this moment, she was still very small, flickering in the Human Emperor's hand.

And her fate would be completely rewritten by this temporal journey of the Fierce Dragon God.

However, Ao Qian shook his head and continued to argue: "This is the predetermined future, and since it has already occurred, it cannot be considered causality."

In the end, their debate left even the Human Emperor somewhat undecided.

Whether to leave more seeds for the Origin Realm?

"Let me evaluate it."

The Human Emperor's eyes filled with divine light as a Time River appeared before him.

The next moment, he overlooked the river, spanning over ten thousand years in one step.

After a while.

The Human Emperor returned, his eyes filled with confusion.

"What's wrong?" Ao Qian asked curiously upon seeing his expression.

The Human Emperor turned to him, with a hint of bewilderment in his eyes: "I evaluated thousands of billions of futures, exploring countless possibilities, but in none of those futures did the figure of that successor appear."

"Who is this person?"

"Truly from the future?"
