Zhao Li traversed through the Chaos and entered the Chaos Space. His gaze was immediately drawn to the towering Azure Lotus.
He seemed to witness the scene of an Azure Lotus Seed growing against the heavens from within the Chaos!
Zhao Li's eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen something incredible. He exclaimed in his heart:
Chaos breeds Azure Lotus... This Azure Lotus, from beginning to end, actually emits a True Meaning of Eternity!
Most Cultivation is about seeking eternity, but the True Meaning of Eternity, which countless people seek but cannot attain, is actually displayed on a single Azure Lotus...
Gulp... Is this the Creation Azure Lotus? Or the Eternal Azure Lotus? But why is it only Third Grade?
Zhao Li swallowed and snapped out of his daze from the Azure Lotus. When he looked at it again, he found it looked a bit bare, as if it was missing many things.
Huh, is this a living being? Hmm, is it alive or dead?
Zhao Li finally saw a figure within the Azure Lotus's Flower Bud. On one hand, Zhao Li didn't sense any life aura on the figure, but on the other hand, it seemed like a being gestating within the Lotus.
This scene gave Zhao Li a strange sense of familiarity. After a moment of contemplation, a hint of shock couldn't help but arise in his mind. He muttered to himself:
On Earth, there are myths and legends. At the beginning of heaven and earth, the start of Chaos, a massive Creation Azure Lotus grew within the Chaos. Its flowers bloomed into twenty-four grades, and within it, the Great God Pangu was conceived, who opened up heaven and earth and created all things. Could it be that within this Azure Lotus, a Heaven Opening Great God is also being conceived?
Since he had experienced transmigration and Cultivation existed, Zhao Li didn't have much doubt about other novels and myths. Seeing this person, he subconsciously thought of the Creation Azure Lotus.
Thinking about this, Zhao Li also thought of himself and muttered in his heart:
Hmm, I also opened up a heaven. Why didn't it evolve any treasures?
Although his Heaven Opening was a shortcut, like borrowing a chicken to hatch an Egg, letting the Origin of the Dou Qi Continent help him hatch it, Heaven Opening is still Heaven Opening. A Universe similar to but not exactly the same as the Dou Qi Continent was born. It should also be able to evolve many treasures.
"Nearly Ten Thousand Years have passed. Finally, someone has come here..."
Just as Zhao Li was complaining, the being within the Azure Lotus suddenly opened its eyes, sat up, looked at Zhao Li, and spoke with emotion.
This sudden voice startled Zhao Li. He instantly shifted his gaze to the center of the Azure Lotus and saw the handsome, somewhat enchanting young man on its Azure Radiance-emitting Lotus Pedestal.
The young man looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dressed in a purple-red robe, with purple hair gently flowing. On his fair forehead was a crimson, flower-like, enchanting mark. His dark blue eyes flowed with a captivating gaze, evoking a thousand feelings of tenderness. His thin lips were slightly curved, stirring ten thousand emotions. Although clearly a man, he could be described as exceptionally graceful and infinitely enchanting.
Zhao Li had never seen this figure before, but he somehow inexplicably knew his identity in his heart.
Zhao Li cupped his fists and bowed respectfully to the figure as a Junior:
"Junior Zhao Li greets Senior First Emperor!"
First Emperor, the first Dou Di, a title he knew from Ye Yunsheng's words. From the few words, Zhao Li admired this kind of Dao-spreading person and also envied them. Now, he finally saw the person here.
Although, he was likely just a consciousness, a Remnant Soul left behind by the true First Emperor...
"Oh? Ten Thousand Years have passed, and someone still remembers me. It seems what I did back then did save the Dou Qi Continent and prevented it from disappearing under the Outer Domain's encroachment. To allow the Dou Qi Continent to be passed down, my heart is greatly comforted. Sit."
Hearing the title he hadn't heard for tens of thousands of years, a hint of surprise flashed in the First Emperor's eyes, followed by a look of relief. With a wave of his hand, the Azure Radiance condensed into a Lotus Seat in front of him, indicating for Zhao Li to sit.
Hearing him say this, Zhao Li felt a bit awkward. He hadn't recognized the person; it was just an intuition he had upon seeing him. However, he didn't act coy. With a flash of his figure, he sat down cross-legged on the Azure Lotus Flower Bud.
Looking closely at this legendary figure who, after becoming the Ancestor of a Dao, passed down the Path of the Dou Di, Zhao Li's heart was also surging. He sincerely praised:
"Senior First Emperor spread the Dao throughout the Continent, creating the situation where multiple emperors coexisted in the early Continent. This kind of magnanimity is truly admirable."
Zhao Li, before the age of twenty in his previous life, already knew that monopolists were the real big winners. And on this Dou Qi Continent, after becoming an invincible powerhouse, how many people would be willing to pass down the Capital that allowed them to stand at the Peak?
Perhaps it was like when a reporter asks you to donate one hundred thousand or one million, you would agree without hesitation, but when asked to donate a few hundred, you hesitate. On the Dou Qi Continent, powerhouses are the same.
Powerhouses also started as Dou Disciples. Before they grew up, they might have also encountered a lot of unfairness, thinking of changing all this after becoming strong. But when they became strong and became vested interests, they forgot the past and became the new mountain that the weak hoped to move.
Zhao Li was also not outside this scope. What he did, perhaps in the eyes of the people of Great Li, he was also a god, but he knew that ultimately, everything he did was inseparable from his Strength, inseparable from the fact that he was among the top few people on the Continent.
He hadn't achieved it, so he greatly respected people like the First Emperor, with absolutely no intention of boasting.
The First Emperor smiled lightly, not particularly bothered, and said:
"Heh heh, I have waited for tens of thousands of years. This Space I left behind has finally been opened. Although you are a Junior, you are also of Heavenly Supreme Strength. There is no need to flatter me like this."
As he spoke, his azure eyes looked at Zhao Li with a hint of surprise, seemingly with Doubt, and asked:
"Strange, looking at your Cultivation Level, you don't seem to be a Dou Di, nor have you mastered the Plane Embryo. How did you become a Heavenly Supreme?"
He didn't sense the aura of a complete Plane Embryo on Zhao Li, and in his memory, even though he left behind a method to re-gather the Plane Embryo, in these tens of thousands of years, he only sensed it re-condense once!
Unfortunately, that time, he didn't wait for that person to arrive.
Hearing the First Emperor's question, Zhao Li didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, before Nine Nether pointed out his Realm, he didn't know he was a Heavenly Supreme. He had always just thought he had taken an Alternative Path to Emperor, comparable to a Dou Di powerhouse.
He pondered for a moment, organized his words, and said:
"To be honest, Senior First Emperor, on the current Dou Qi Continent, there is no longer any Origin Qi. No one can advance to Dou Di anymore. I obtained some Opportunity and have embarked on the Route of an Alternative Path to Emperor."
Seeing that Zhao Li didn't elaborate, the First Emperor expressed understanding, didn't press further, shook his head and chuckled, saying:
"Although I am a Senior, learning has no seniority. You don't need to be like this. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Ye."
Afterward, he was greatly puzzled by what Zhao Li mentioned and asked with Doubt:
"You said there is no Origin Qi on the Dou Qi Continent? That shouldn't be the case. How could there be no Origin Qi? Although I divided the Plane Embryo into twenty-two Origins, they still have the ability to convert Origin Qi. Did something happen? Can you tell me about what's happening outside?"
