What kind of figure of monumental achievements was Ying Zheng?
Although historical evaluations of him were mixed, it was undeniable that he ended the wars of the seven states and achieved what history called true unification, establishing a centralised autocracy.
He achieved true imperial rule, and no longer the feudal system of enfeoffment! He unified the Chinese script, currency, and even the fusion of ethnic cultures.
How difficult were these things?
Look at the wars and conflicts around the world today. Are they not all caused by the inability of different cultures to integrate? But the First Emperor of Qin accomplished it!
Such a figure with world-shaking grandeur was actually also a member of that terrifying game?
As for Alexander the Great, there was even less need to mention him. He was a figure who aimed to conquer the entire world, to conquer the stars and the sea! At least before him, no man had been able to conquer such vast lands!
It was said that he was an emperor who dared to challenge the gods!
These two legendary figures were actually both members of this terrifying game.
This chess game, or rather this schemer, was absolutely playing a grand chess game that spanned the ages! That even these two great figures of the earth could not escape, just thinking about it made one feel somewhat terrified.
Even Luo Chen felt somewhat horrified.
Because this was definitely only the tip of the iceberg of this super dao tradition or power. There were absolutely even more secrets unknown to the world!
And obviously, that terrifying game had already calculated him into its plans as well.
“Mr Luo, actually we are only guessing.” Diana, the Goddess of Death, spoke while holding a teacup.
As an international titan, and moreover a big shot level figure inside the terrifying game, she clearly knew much more than ordinary people.
“The terrifying game has actually been cultivating and searching for suitable people all these years.” Diana continued to speak.
“What is their goal?” Luo Chen directly asked.
This super power created secret realm trials to raise those people’s strength. Clearly it was not merely out of goodwill, and must have a very large objective.
“The Heart of the Stars!” The moment Diana spoke, Luo Chen’s face instantly changed drastically, and his breathing became rapid.
Because this was also what he wanted!
In the vast universe, not all stars had the conditions to nurture life.
Stars capable of nurturing life could be said to be as rare as a drop in the ocean!
And why were so many stars unable to nurture life?
Because they lacked the most crucial thing, the Heart of the Stars!
This was the key to a planet being able to nurture life!
This kind of thing was a supreme treasure even in the immortal world, something that could be encountered but not sought.
Luo Chen wanted it because he wanted revenge!
Back then, he had carried the Tai Huang Jing, the strongest cultivation method since time immemorial!
He had even achieved the position of Immortal Venerable.
But he still died at the hands of the Three Great Heavenly Venerables.
It was not that he was not strong enough, but that he had been betrayed!
This was the second greatest hatred and unresolved knot in Luo Chen’s life!
One of the Three Great Heavenly Venerables had once been his sworn brother. They had ventured into the immortal world together, pacified holy lands, destroyed immortal gates, and slain demon venerables!
But in the end, that person, his best brother, Tu Shen Heavenly Venerable!
In order to take that highest step in advance, betrayed Luo Chen.
If not for him, how could Luo Chen have stepped into the Ten Great Ferocious Arrays? It was because his best brother Tu Shen Heavenly Venerable had sent him a distress signal, telling him he was trapped in the Ten Great Ferocious Arrays. Luo Chen had just finished a great battle at that time and was already heavily injured.
But when his brother was in trouble, how could he stand by and do nothing?
So, carrying heavy injuries, Luo Chen resolutely charged into the Ten Great Ferocious Arrays, and was then struck from behind by a palm from Tu Shen Heavenly Venerable!
If it had been a fair fight, Luo Chen absolutely would not have lost to any one of the Three Great Heavenly Venerables!
Even with a heavily injured body, even when ambushed! He, Luo Wuji, the Boundless Immortal Venerable, would not lose!
But Luo Chen had still underestimated the other party. The other party had actually even thought of a way to counter the Tai Huang Jing.
At that moment Luo Chen discovered that it was not only his best brother who had betrayed him.
There was also his disciple, his only disciple, Empress Fuyao!
The Tai Huang Jing was passed down through a single lineage. If Luo Chen had not personally transmitted the technique, others would absolutely not know the secrets of the Tai Huang Jing. Only people of the Tai Huang lineage, and at that time, only his only disciple, Empress Fuyao, knew the Tai Huang Jing!
Clearly, Empress Fuyao had also betrayed him.
He still remembered now, when his indestructible body was riddled with holes, blood continuously dripping, staggering and using the Tai Huang Sword to support his body, raising his head with difficulty, looking at his best brother and most beloved disciple with a complex expression.
When Luo Chen asked why?
His best brother Tu Shen Heavenly Venerable told him.
“Since you are my best brother, then what is wrong with giving all your cultivation to me, letting me drain you dry, to help me take that final step?”
“Anyway, you once could die for me, could take a blade for me, could slaughter all living beings of a realm for me. Now what is wrong with you sacrificing yourself to complete me?”
And Empress Fuyao, Luo Chen’s most beloved and only disciple, looked at Luo Chen with ridicule and mockery, and that cold expression.
Using a voice cold to the extreme, she told him.
Luo Chen could not give her the longevity and dominion over the world that she wanted. Tu Shen Heavenly Venerable had already promised that as long as he took that step, he could give her longevity and dominion over the world!
Tu Shen Heavenly Venerable! If not for Luo Chen repeatedly risking his life to save him, if not for Luo Chen repeatedly paying painful prices to steal heavenly materials and earthly treasures and give them to Tu Su, would he have become the Tu Shen Heavenly Venerable who shook the immortal world?
But what Luo Chen received was betrayal!
And Empress Fuyao? If not for Luo Chen saving her and teaching her the Tai Huang Jing, she would have long been taken as a cauldron furnace and given to the greatest power in the immortal world, to be refined by others.
Back then Luo Chen had not hesitated to offend the greatest power in the immortal world, being pursued and fleeing through a hundred thousand great realms, before finally protecting that pitiful little girl.
In the end Luo Chen transmitted the Tai Huang Jing to her, trampled through a hundred thousand great realms for her, stealing all kinds of heaven-defying materials to cleanse her marrow, backing her up time and again, allowing her to eventually be called Empress Fuyao in the immortal world!
But in the end, what Luo Chen received was betrayal!
How could Luo Chen not be furious at such a lifelong great hatred?
How could Luo Chen not avenge this hatred?
When Tu Shen Heavenly Venerable pierced through the woman he loved most with a sword, Luo Chen swore that even if he became a ghost he would not let the other party go!
In his previous life he had devoted himself to cultivating the dao, single-mindedly wanting to take that final step, but had always neglected that woman who silently accompanied him, silently cared for him, silently gave everything for him!
Until she rushed into the Ten Great Ferocious Arrays like a madwoman, helping Luo Chen block that fatal sword, and then in Luo Chen’s embrace, transformed into petals scattered across the sky, her form and spirit both destroyed, did Luo Chen understand that he had wronged this woman!
Since in this life, he was reborn, he must make up for the regrets of his previous life. Those who forgot kindness and betrayed righteousness, kill!
That woman he had wronged, in this life, he must properly protect her!
But one had to say, the Ten Great Ferocious Arrays were indeed very troublesome, and Luo Chen had also discovered through that battle that although the Tai Huang Jing was called the strongest since time immemorial, it still had flaws and was not perfect.
So Luo Chen needed the Heart of the Stars to make up for this point, and even use the Heart of the Stars to walk out another path.
The enemies of his previous life, Luo Chen could not wait to slay them one by one!
