Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 437: The Emperor's Heart
"I see."
Xu Shen understood the Human Emperor's thoughts. The king benefits himself, while the Human Emperor loves the world.
Only because there is the world, the Emperor of Man was born.
Only then there is God!
"Where are the other emperors?" Xu Shen asked.
In front of him is the fourth generation Human Emperor, and there are three more emperors in front of him.
"The first Human Emperor was imprisoned in the God's Cemetery to serve the gods." The fourth Human Emperor said slowly, "Because he committed the so-called sin, when the gods first created the human race based on this quasi-perfect container, the human race was extremely simple and had no senses. They were just numb zombies, chess pieces of the gods' deductions. Until the birth of the first Human Emperor, he accidentally entered the Ruins Sea and witnessed the gods."
"He absorbed extraordinary power and was able to cultivate to the level of a king. Later, he signed a contract with the gods and became a god."
"And that contract was to allow the human race to open their eyes of wisdom and ears of listening. From then on, the human race was able to establish city-states, open up the wilderness, and have their own heritage."
The ancient history was told in detail by the Human Emperor. It was the first time that Xu Shen heard these long-standing secrets, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.
“But as the human race embarked on the path to transcendence, some people gradually became ruin slayers and kings. Some of them learned about the first generation of human emperor’s path to godhood, and they secretly contacted the gods and betrayed the human race.”
"So the first emperor of mankind was imprisoned by the gods, serving them for eternity, and the human race was also kept as a captive."
Xu Shen was stunned. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he could imagine what a dark history it was.
No wonder he couldn’t find any ancient history in Qianyin Hall. Perhaps it had all been sealed and destroyed.
According to the normal process of civilization, they should have recorded things from the ancestral times, but in reality there are very few.
"Later, the second Human Emperor was born. He pretended to be loyal to the gods and helped humans enrich their senses and develop their mouths, noses and tongues, allowing the human race to grow rapidly. Unfortunately, the second generation of supervisory gods, the Lord of the Void, saw through his intentions and nailed him somewhere in the Ruins Sea. I don't know the exact location."
"The third generation of the Human Emperor established the Divine Court and secretly accumulated strength in an attempt to fight against the gods, but ultimately failed. All of his descendants and bloodlines were exterminated, and in the end, they attracted the wrath of the gods, depriving us of our senses and ushering in the Dark Ages."
At this point, the fourth generation Human Emperor said briefly: "When I became a god, I could only seal the eyes of the God of Supervision with my body. I was powerless to control the growth of the human race. But before that, I opened the eyes of some people. Unfortunately, these people who opened their eyes first did not lead the rest of the survivors. Instead, they drove those who had not opened their eyes to the outer city and divided people into nobles and fog people..."
There was regret in his voice. He could always see what was happening to the human race from the sky, but he could only watch it happen right before his eyes, unable to do anything.
He underestimated the evil of human nature and overestimated the love of human hearts.
Xu Shen said: "You cover the eyes of the gods and supervise the earth. Does this mean that I have always been under your observation?"
The fourth generation Human Emperor said, "No, ever since one of my most cherished talents chose to abandon the human race and join the gods hundreds of years ago, I have given up hope that you would have a new emperor in the short term. Moreover, it takes effort to deceive the Moon Lord. I have been sleeping the whole time. If your aura hadn't alarmed me, I wouldn't have known that the human race would have a new emperor so soon."
Xu Shen was slightly stunned and asked in surprise, "Someone has surrendered to the gods? Which king is it?"
"The little girl who previously headed the parliament had the ability to foresee fate..."
The fourth generation emperor sighed and said, "Perhaps because of this, she may have seen something related to her own destiny and chose to take another path."
Xu Shen couldn't help but remain silent. He didn't expect that the master of the life that the original owner was always afraid of would actually defect to the gods when the original owner was imprisoned by the artifact. No wonder he disappeared without a trace.
But being able to establish a relationship with gods as a king is also a rare anomaly.
"Do you know why I chose to deceive the eyes of God?" asked the fourth generation Human Emperor.
Xu Shen looked up at the face formed by the clouds in the sky: "Because no matter what you do, it is meaningless under the supervision of the gods, so it has to be like this?"
“Yes, but that’s just one of the reasons .”
The fourth generation Human Emperor said: "The second is that if another god is born among the human race, under my protection, he will not be noticed by the gods. In this way, he will have the opportunity and time to do something great."
"Great things?"
"That's right."
The fourth generation of the Human Emperor said: "From the first generation of the Human Emperor to me, we have all been trying to break the fate of the human race. Although we are no longer human and can be close to eternal life in this world, compared with the gods, we, who were born after birth, can never be integrated into their group. We are different and may even become their servants!"
“Though both are gods, yet one is the Lord, and the other is to serve Them.”
The fourth generation Human Emperor seemed to smile, his tone slightly sarcastic and with a bit of arrogance.
Xu Shen understood the meaning of his smile. As they were all gods, they naturally did not want to be willing to become servants of the gods.
Therefore, the only way out is resistance.
"The only way to break your fate is to have the power to contend with the gods, or at least to have the power to make the gods slightly afraid!" said the fourth generation emperor. "And under your feet, you have such power!"
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, he looked down, and immediately understood what the Fourth Generation Human Emperor was talking about.
"You may not know yet that the land beneath your feet, the world you were born into, is actually a container created by the gods!"
"As long as you wear this container, you will exert power beyond that of ordinary gods. Even though this container is a failure and is rotting, it was made by the gods after all. I heard that the gods created it for a plan of immortality. You can also understand it as 'armor'!" explained the fourth generation Human Emperor.
Xu Shen had already learned this from Maeve, so he was not surprised. He nodded and said, "Why didn't you choose to wear this container?"
"Too late."
The fourth generation of the Human Emperor said very straightforwardly: "If I had a choice, I would not give you such an opportunity. When I became a god, I immediately saw the Moon Lord's gaze. I had to act immediately and had no chance at all. But now the Moon Lord's vision is obscured. You have plenty of time to wear this container, and this is also the real purpose of my obscuring the Moon Lord's vision..."
"Unfortunately, if I was born a generation later, or if the third generation of the Human Emperor chose to cover the eyes of the Lord of the Void, then the person wearing the container would be me..."
There was a hint of regret and sorrow in the words of the Fourth Generation Human Emperor. He knew that such an opportunity did not belong to him, and he could only be the one to create such opportunities for future generations, but he was still willing to choose to take this path.
Xu Shen's eyes shook slightly. He could feel the great minds of these human emperors.
This is completely different from a king.
There have been countless kings throughout history, but there have only been four human emperors.
The Human Emperor is willing to sacrifice himself to fight for the greater good of the human race, while the King may abandon the human race for his own petty gain.
"I will make everything you have done meaningful." Xu Shen said calmly. Words of gratitude were meaningless here. The best reward was to make sure that the sacrifices of these human emperors were not in vain.
The fourth generation emperor smiled and said, "If there is a chance, just rescue the first and second generation emperors. I believe they must be very lonely and boring. After all, it is too torturous to have a long life but lose freedom."
Xu Shen nodded slightly.
Afterwards, under the guidance of the fourth generation Human Emperor, Xu Shen knew that the way to wear this container was to enter the container from the rotten cave.
After talking with Maeve, the answer was confirmed. Xu Shen said goodbye to the fourth generation Human Emperor and turned back to Yunzhong City.
Wearing the world on your body... Xu Shen only needs to think about it to know what kind of power increase .
