The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 2062: Chapter 1208–1209: Ancient Clan, Descendants of the Five Emperors

“The contingency left for the human race back then, although never utilized, has become our ace in the hole and was indeed a fortuitous coincidence!” the Black Emperor remarked.

They never imagined they could return to this era, for in their time, longevity was an unattainable aspiration.

Especially considering the ancient times had just passed, even those innately born Demon Gods couldn’t truly achieve longevity, let alone creatures born in the postnatal era.

Moreover, since the human race clashed with All Tribes, although humans had the upper hand, All Tribes were not truly weak. Therefore, these human race rulers had to devise all sorts of backup plans and contingencies for the human race.

The embryonic form of the Heavenly Court sought by the Jade Emperor back then, forged by successive human race rulers, was just one among many. Perhaps precisely because it consumed immense power without true success, it made them realize the plan was fraught with uncertainty.

For these human race rulers, they couldn’t stake everything on a single choice; there had to be other alternatives.

Thus, they began exploring the Chaos Void to preserve the human race’s legacy by attempting to open a Cave Heaven and send part of humanity into the Chaos Void.

Though this contingency went unused later, these humans maintained their pure faith, becoming the human race ruler’s staunchest supporters.

When these figures fortuitously returned to this era, they brought those people back to the Divine Land World, becoming their supporters and wielding power.

These ancient humans drawn back from the Chaos Void were known as the Five Emperors’ descendants. They didn’t know the Emperor of Heaven nor recognize the Taoist Monarchs; they only followed the Five Emperors’ orders, and thus were called the Five Emperor Royals.

Nowadays, these Five Emperor Royals have established Divine Dynasties in each continent of the Five Directions: under the Green Emperor, the Wood Emperor Divine Dynasty; under the Red Emperor, the Fire Emperor Divine Dynasty; under the White Emperor, the Golden Emperor Divine Dynasty; under the Black Emperor, the Water Emperor Divine Dynasty; under the Yellow Emperor, the Yao Emperor Divine Dynasty.

Though numerous former human race rulers have established Divine Dynasties and empires with their subjects, because none of the Various Kings achieved Taoist Monarch status, the Five Divine Dynasties founded by the Five Emperor Royals remain the main support.

Even though, at the level of the Heavenly Court, True Immortal, and Taoist Monarch, the human race Five Emperors’ power and influence might seem slightly less than respective top immortal sects and several Heavenly Court Imperial Honors, in the Mortal Realm of the Five Directions Continent, the forces under the Five Emperors are formidable.

When the Jade Emperor sent emissaries to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, the human race Five Emperors dispatched powerful figures too. The leaders of the Five Directions imperial courts gathered to discuss how to handle the upcoming situation.

Not to mention, the Five Emperors’ descendants themselves are the most loyal supporters of the human race Five Emperors; they are acutely aware that if the Jade Emperor governs humanity, their status is bound to be suppressed.

“Ahh!”

The terrifying roar reverberated from afar, each Alien Beast towering at ten zhang high, glistening with divine light. These are true demonic beasts that can contend with cultivators who found their Dao Foundation, yet are now used as mounts, driven by him.

“The Red Flame King, descendant of the human race Five Emperors branch Red Emperor’s line; in ancient times strong descendants who ventured beyond… Unexpectedly, they still exist.” A profound-eyed powerhouse gazed at the emerging red sky, and his expression shifted as he recalled some recorded secrets.

The Divine Dynasties founded by the human race Five Emperors’ descendants spread beyond the Five Directions Continent across many sea islands.

It’s not that they don’t wish to entirely reside in the preeminent lands of the Five Directions of Divine Land World, but returning too late, those prime locations are occupied, allowing segments of the Five Emperor Royals’ principal lineage to establish Divine Dynasties in compromise, they couldn’t seize it all, which would provoke diplomatic issues with other factions.

Some believe it’s a strategic move by the human race Five Emperors, leaving part of their people on multiple sea islands to avoid placing all eggs in one basket and adopt a sea island encirclement strategy against the continent.

Indeed, though each individual island can’t compete with the Five Directions continent, the aggregated territories of numerous sea islands could rival any continent.

Moreover, everyone knows the current Divine Land World is still undergoing transformation; if it continues to ascend and evolves into a Great Thousand World, those seemingly inconspicuous islands might have the chance to become continents, seizing the first-mover advantage.

Originally, it was believed that in this grand battle, the numerous island-based Five Emperors’ descendants wouldn’t take action, or at the very least not so early, yet they’ve now emerged.

The present Red Flame King, an Emperor of an island empire, is existent within the Ninth Heaven Spirit Realm. His established Red Flame Empire, though limited by territory population, cannot transform into a Divine Dynasty, yet within the Empire stands prominently.

Some favor the Jade Emperor seizing the position of the Emperor of Heaven, while others hope to see the human race Five Emperors reclaiming orthodoxy.

Especially for some powerhouses, the human race Five Emperors, at least, are their ancestral lineage, and it’s not disgraceful to serve them. Whereas what does the Jade Emperor represent, he’s just a lucky individual who clings to the Longevity Taoist Monarch, how can such figure hold onto the position in heaven for long?

Hence, with the Five Emperors’ descendants’ Five Divine Dynasties convening to discuss great matters, many eminent figures are attracted to observe the Five Emperors’ contingencies, pondering if they are worth betting on.

“Ancient Sages largely sealed, many ancient humans exiled outside the world, losing numerous legacies and bloodlines. Even when returning, short-term, we cannot cope with the advantage-seizing Jade Emperor.” A worried expression surfaced deep in the eyes of a human race strongman.

Divine Land World’s development soared; it’s a time of tremendous prosperity, where even the most ordinary humans could rise leveraging this era’s dividends.

Their time since the ancient humans’ return is brief, and resource acquisition appears limited. In essence, their foundation noticeably lags.

“Brother Red Flame’s arrival, this emperor fails to welcome you, I seek forgiveness.” A silhouette emerged, unmistakably the contemporary emperor of the Fire Emperor Divine Dynasty under the Red Emperor—Fire Emperor.

“Long not seen, cousin remains as charismatic, illuminating the universe. It seems the Five Emperors’ descendants reclaiming terrestrial dominance ceases being a mere fantasy, though overseas remains unsettled, I advise vigilance, cousin.” Bathed in divine light, the Red Flame King stepped out of his ornate carriage, red glints flickering in his gaze, a regal glow suffused his eyes—a naturally dominant aura maintaining amiability. This innate demeanor isn’t discomforting, akin to a noble spirit, friendly and genuine, an inborn trait.

This is the Red Emperor’s bloodline, inherently close to the Great Path of Fire, and legends state the Red Emperor once consumed Phoenix Blood, occasionally leading his progeny to awaken Phoenix Bloodline.
