Outside of Time [Webnovel] - Chapter 1370: I'll Bear It Alone!

1370 I’ll Bear It Alone!

This happened too quickly and abruptly.

Although the human cultivators knew that this Empress’ next actions would definitely cause a storm, the sacrifices were only from nonhuman races.

None of them imagined… this storm was actually directed toward the holy land!

Cries of surprise erupted into the sky.

Although the holy land was far away from Wanggu, its control over Wanggu still existed over the countless years.

This was especially so for the human race.

After all, the largest holy land belonged to the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether.

Even though countless years had passed, his name, his deeds, and his dignity still enveloped Wanggu.

The more difficult it was for the human race, the more they yearned for their former glory. The more bitter they felt, the more they yearned to be guided by the holy land.

For countless years, the holy land had become the hope in the hearts of countless humans.

Even though their ancestor had abandoned them back then, they made up various reasons to justify it, especially with the reign of the Human Emperor Eastern Triumph. With the ongoing rituals of heaven worship, a connection had been established between the Mystic Nether holy land and the human race.

Regardless of whether it was the help of resources or the gift of hope, although outsiders didn’t know much, the officials of the human race and those who had reached a certain level of cultivation knew.

Hence, at this moment, the Empress’ actions shocked and confused them. After that, there was anger and fear. All kinds of emotions erupted in the hearts of many humans at this moment.

However, it was useless.

In the sky, outside the gap, the forty-nine Suns of Dawn hidden in the Imperial Seals emitted unprecedented light and heat at this moment as they erupted in unison.

In an instant, the sky of Wanggu was covered with extreme radiance.

Even the other large regions could clearly see this scene that had never appeared before.

Amidst the piercing and resplendent light and the endless heat waves, the forty-nine Suns of Dawn that had been specially arranged didn’t diffuse their power at all.

They formed a large array formation.

This array formation was called the Dawn Array.

There were two uses of this array formation; gather and attack!

At the next instant, the explosive power of the forty-nine Suns of Dawn gathered together, forming an extreme beam of light that contained light and heat.

It followed the silver light from the holy land and headed toward the Mystic Nether Holy Land at the other end at an incredibly astonishing speed!

The passage formed by the silver light instantly shattered.

As for the light formed from the forty-nine beams of light, wherever it passed, the surrounding starry sky collapsed and the pitch-black space was illuminated by the light traces.

Like a spear, it carried the power of the Empress and the madness of the Suns of Dawn as it headed straight for the Mystic Nether holy land.

At the next instant, an extremely terrifying explosion rang out from the depths of the starry sky, as though a cosmic beast was roaring.

At the same time, the shattered pieces of the collapsed silver passage followed the gap in the sky and landed in Wanggu, turning into light that shone on the human capital.

It was a light that was different from Wanggu’s light.

That was the light of the holy land that Wanggu didn’t have.

At that moment, the Empress’ voice echoed, landing in the hearts of everyone who couldn’t accept this.

Her voice was dignified and hoarse.

It was as though it had come from the passage of time, telling the story of time.

“Officials, citizens, and all my clansmen…”

“According to the ancestral teachings of the human race, the rulers are bestowed their mandate from the heavens. And the heavens are the holy land, and the holy land originates from the Holy Ancestor.”

“The ancestor said that the rulers of the human race can’t blaspheme the holy land and can’t walk the path of the gods. The enemy of all generations is the god.”

“Our human race has acknowledged these teachings for generations and has persisted. No matter how much suffering or deaths we suffer, we have no regrets.”

“It’s just that… there are some things you don’t know!”

The Empress paused.

“The fragmented-face descended, but the holy land only looked to protect itself.”

“For tens of thousands of years, they enjoyed the support of our race’s offerings but ignored our sufferings. They are high and mighty. This is also the holy land.”

“In the year 37938 of the Eastern Triumph Calendar, the Human Emperor Eastern Triumph was eager for military glory. He mobilized the entire race to start a war with the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race. This battle ended in a huge defeat, with tens of thousands of years of accumulation of the human race gone to waste, and is known as the Mystic Heaven Incident. However, the true history isn’t like this!”

“The truth is that the Human Emperor Eastern Triumph went on an expedition under the orders of the holy land to obtain the secrets of the Flame Moon. After enduring countless hardships and finally acquiring the tribute, the holy land betrayed us, leaving our human race to bear the wrath of the Flame Moon, leading to our downfall.”

“In order not to displease the holy land, Eastern Triumph bore the burden alone and never explained anything. Even after death, this stigma follows him to this day. The one who orchestrated such events is the holy land.”

“When the Human Emperor Holy Heaven ascended the throne, he changed the tradition. He conducted offering rituals to the holy land every year, earnestly pleading for their protection. He sought not to expand, but simply to ensure that during the weakest times of our people, the holy land, as part of the human race, would offer its protection.”

“However, the holy land sealed its doors and only took. It didn’t care about the life and death of the human race and ignored the fact that our human race had lost 39 regions. 100 billion human commoners were scattered all over the Wanggu, becoming slaves of the nonhuman races.”

“In the reign of the Human Emperor Mirror Cloud some years later, our human race had a chance to soar. The wise and virtuous Human Emperor Mirror Cloud incited the fear of the holy land, which subtly descended to suppress our people.

“After that, the people of the world stated that the emperor wanted to sever ties with the holy land. However, he died suddenly and became an unsolved case. Who was behind this?”

“Are only the humans of the holy land considered human, but the humans of Wanggu are not?”

“Holy land, why are you afraid of the rise of the human race of the Wanggu? Is Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether still in the holy land? Who exactly is the person who has been controlling the holy land all these years!”

“Today, the Sky Devouring Race sent an Emperor and four Heavenly Kings. They knew that they shouldn’t have come but they still came to probe. This is because someone gave them a promise. Who gave the promise?!”

The Empress’ voice echoed and the human race fell silent.

Some of the ministers wanted to say something, but their words were stuck in their throats and they eventually fell silent.

There were some things that the commoners didn’t know but as the kings and ministers, how could they not know about the suspicious points in history?

It was just that they deliberately ignored it.

“Today, I’m going to go against the ancestral teachings; I will destroy this holy land and take the god’s path.”

“I’ll completely break off ties with the holy land!”

“From now on, I don’t seek eternal life. I only want to open up a thriving path for the human race for all eternity and rebuild its ancient glory!”

A sharp glint appeared in the Empress’ eyes. At this moment, endless tyranny rose from her body. Her voice echoed and spread throughout the Imperial City.

She raised her hand and grabbed. Immediately, the light from the holy land that landed in the Imperial City was drawn over from all directions and headed straight for the Ancient Sovereign Planet.

The light of the holy land seemed to be the key to the godhood ritual. As it landed, it seemed to have ignited a certain opportunity!

At the next instant, the Ancient Sovereign Planet rumbled. With it as the center, five huge vortexes showed up and encircled the Ancient Sovereign Planet.

In each vortex, a heavenly altar rose.

On every heavenly altar, a figure in an emperor’s robe sat cross-legged.

Those were the corpses of the past emperors of the human race, including Mystic War.

What was in the coffin earlier was only a portion of them. Only now did the true corpses appear in the world.

Imperial aura towered into the sky.

They each had divine flames that were burning with the Ancient Sovereign Planet as the core.

The Empress raised her hands, as if to lift the Ancient Sovereign Planet, her voice carrying a thunderous authority, bearing witness to her resolve.

“Not only am I becoming a god today, I will bring the late human emperors to become gods together.”

“Henceforth, the five rulers will become corpse gods. Although they won’t have spirit and wisdom, they will possess divine might and bear the will of the human race. They will follow the guidance of the human race’s fortune and guard the foundation of our human race.”

“As a god, I will protect my human race and ensure peace for all ages!”

“The calamity that will come down due to my actions, I… will bear it alone!”

“The holy land is heartless. Only we… can save ourselves!”

The Empress abruptly raised her head and stared at the sky. Her voice fused with the Heavenly Dao. This was her oath!

In an instant, Wanggu rumbled and the figures of the Heavenly Dao showed up one after another.

Thunder rumbled.
