C6771 I will Not Retreat!
An indescribable emotion welled up in Lu Yu's heart. It was mixed in his heart and he could not let it go.
Countless bones were buried in the hills behind him. Countless years had passed, but their undead spirits did not disperse. They had always been waiting for the return of the Human Emperor.
The Black Bird Sun Chasing Flag flapped in the wind. Perhaps they did not know that the Great Qin Empire had long been buried in the ground. However, all the undead spirits still had hope and longed for the return of the Human Emperor.
"So that's how it is..."
The spirit of the old artifact spirit's eyes gradually started to ripple.
He was first excited, then admiring, and finally, a smile appeared on his face. His turbid eyes firmly remembered Lu Yu.
"I have followed the Emperor Xian and seen many people and many things..." The spirit of the old artifact spirit's voice gradually became hoarse, but he still spoke slowly word by word.
"I am only an artifact spirit and do not have much ability. I cannot help the Emperor Xian..."
"The Human Race has a successor. This old man is relieved."
After saying this, the old man had already reached his limit and could not continue. He drifted away with the wind.
The wind howled, and the whistling sound of the wind seemed to be the wailing of countless undead spirits. The sadness was endless and extremely desolate.
The Human Emperor Temple could not hold on any longer. It collapsed with a bang and turned into ruins.
Lu Yu felt lost. He had only met this old man for two hours, but he could feel a deep loneliness and endless grief from his words.
The old man had never thought of himself. Firstly, he wanted to be the Human Emperor, and secondly, he wanted to bury the dead Netherworld Hounds and the Great Qin soldiers who had died in his homeland.
The cold wind blew against Lu Yu's body. He took out a handful of soil from the ruins of the Human Emperor Temple, which contained the original source of the old man.
The living spirits had already passed away, but Lu Yu was prepared to bury the soil together with the Human Emperor's stone statue.
Behind the broken Human Emperor Temple, countless graves appeared in front of Lu Yu. On the Unmarked Common Graves, the Great Qin flag was still standing tall, fluttering in the wind.
"You cannot be buried here. I will bring you all home!"
When Lu Yu said the word "home", he could clearly see that the souls of the dead had appeared in the graves behind him.
The heroic spirits did not scatter.
Each soul was filled with endless fighting spirit. After ten thousand years, they would still hold their halberds and heavy armor as they guarded this barren land.
They silently watched Lu Yu. Their gazes seemed to pass through the ages and land on this young emperor.
One by one, their hands suddenly reached out and rested on Lu Yu's shoulders.
In the pitch-black and cold night sky.
Lu Yu stood alone in front of countless graves. Beside him stood countless heroic spirits.
This meeting that transcended time and space did not last long. The heroic spirits gradually dispersed, and only a cool breeze blew against Lu Yu's face.
"Roar …"
A berserk roar suddenly came from the mountains in all directions.
All the evil spirits were alarmed. The World Origin had sensed that there was a gap here, and it frantically mobilized the evil spirits to come here.
This was the gap in the great sealing formation. As long as this place was broken through, the entire great sealing formation would immediately be solved.
"There's a way out behind you. Leave now and I'll let you live!"
A strange voice came from the darkness.
The voice was intermittent, as if it came from a very far place, but it stirred up the surrounding space, causing waves of intense fluctuations.
This was the voice of the World Origin.
It had been sealed here for too long. It wanted to break free from the shackles and escape from here.
Now that the seal was destroyed by external forces, it finally saw hope.
As long as it eliminated the variable Lu Yu, it would be able to escape unscathed and destroy this world to establish a new order.
"Leave?"
Lu Yu looked behind him.
Behind the ruins of the Human Emperor Temple, there was a chaotic and trembling space.
From that space, waves of intense fluctuations came out. This place should be a spatial rift. As long as one stepped through it, they would be able to reach the outside world.
Lu Yu could even sense waves of desolate Qi from the spatial rift.
That was an aura that had never appeared in the Heaven Realm.
At this moment, it was a very serious choice.
As long as Lu Yu stepped through that space, he would be able to directly enter the myriad of worlds. From then on, he would be able to soar into the heavens and enter a different world.
This was the Heaven Realm, something that no one had ever thought about.
One could imagine that it was like a frog that was trapped in a well, suddenly having the opportunity to jump out of the well.
"If I leave, I might be able to obtain more opportunities to cultivate, and perhaps have a better development and see more people and things. But if I leave, how can I face the title of 'Emperor'?"
Lu Yu sneered. As he took a step forward, a majestic aura surged out from his body.
At this moment, Lu Yu did not choose to retreat. He activated his own aura to the limit.
The pressure of the Earth Realm Level Eight swept out, like an invisible mountain sweeping in all directions.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
The voice of the world origin once again came from the darkness.
Terrifying existences descended in front of Lu Yu. They were huge in size and had ferocious appearances. Every single one of them released an aura that could destroy the heavens and earth.
Before Lu Yu could even get close, he could already feel how powerful these evil spirits were. They were actually existences at the Heavenly Realm.
Lu Yu's black hair was like a waterfall. His black eyes reflected the outline of countless graves. He kept asking himself what he had been doing all this time. Was it for the strength that was so powerful that it could look down on the world? Or was it for the power to control all living things? Lu Yu asked himself whether he was either.
This was the place where he was born and raised. There were people he knew here, and there were all of his memories. Lu Yu asked himself, if he could not leave freely, perhaps in this life, he was destined to not be a lone wolf, but to carry the heavy responsibility of protecting the world.
"If you want to leave, then step on my corpse."
Lu Yu walked forward, and a bright light appeared around his body, surrounding him like a golden dragon robe.
The light dispersed the darkness.
A powerful will entrenched itself around Lu Yu, forming a bronze cauldron behind him.2
This was a bronze cauldron condensed from the faith of the human race. Only the Human Emperor could control it.
On the bronze cauldron, the images of the Human Emperors of the past were carved. They were holy and majestic, vivid and lifelike.
However, in the middle of the bronze cauldron, Lu Yu's figure was clearly carved.
On it, Lu Yu was wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the throne, holding the Human Emperor Sword, looking down at the masses of living beings.
The Human Emperors of the past had abdicated, and Lu Yu sat in the center.
Behind Lu Yu, countless heroic spirits floated into the bronze cauldron. They came one after another, supporting Lu Yu with their last bit of strength.
