Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 398 Primal Laws, the New Human Emperor!

No wonder there's no title on this tombstone, only the words "Human Emperor"!

But Ji Fa was already a figure from the ancient era!?

"The Human Emperor, surnamed Ji?"

"It's a rather uncommon surname."

Yunshuiyao raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.

He then added, "But why does it look like there's a coffin behind this tombstone?"

Gu Jiancheng then took a closer look and indeed found that it was different from the coffin formed by the previous restrictions.

Behind the tombstone was a cocoon of light formed by a restriction.

Not only was it dazzling, but even Gu Jiancheng's divine eyes could not see it clearly, and he could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a sword in it.

A sword!?

What's going on here?

Moreover, apart from that, Gu Jian did not sense any aura of laws in this hall.

This shouldn't be the case.

"What should we do now?"

Yun Shuiyao looked at Gu Jiancheng.

The Emperor's Tomb looks rather strange now.

"It's alright, it's all just a matter of chance, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Gu Jiancheng shook his head, then immediately raised his hand and began to absorb the power of the ancient restriction.

hum!

In an instant, an extremely terrifying energy suddenly surged out from the cocoon of light, rushing wildly into Gu Jiancheng's body.

Even with Gu Jiancheng's current physique and energy sea, it still seemed as if he was about to be burst open in an instant!

Gu Jiancheng's expression changed slightly, and then he raised his other hand and sent Yunshuiyao back into the space.

Immediately, he activated his Heaven-Burning Overlord Body to its fullest extent, and thirteen supreme laws spread out, beginning to frantically devour the laws within the cocoon of light.

At the same time, Gu Jiancheng suddenly realized that countless fragments of memories seemed to be flooding into his mind and sea of ​​consciousness.

These memories are fragmented and unfamiliar, yet each scene is incredibly poignant.

There were towering peaks collapsing like pillars of heaven, a huge crack appearing in the sky that was then sealed by a five-colored divine stone, and countless powerful beings shrouded in celestial light descending from the heavenly gate, looking down upon all living beings.

There are also towering gods who roar to the heavens and fight bloody battles.

Each and every scene was an epic battle.

Blood and tears intertwine, gods and immortals coexist.

Even though Gu Jiancheng only saw some fragments, it was as if he had personally experienced it, and his chest was filled with a thousand fighting spirits, as if they were about to explode.

But at that moment, all the fragmented memories suddenly disappeared, and Gu Jiancheng slowly opened his eyes.

However, they discovered that the light cocoon barrier behind the tombstone had completely disappeared.

In mid-air, only a few treasures floated there.

Is this the end?

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow. Although the energy impact was extremely powerful, it had not yet reached the limit that his body could withstand.

At this moment, when he looked inward at his dantian, he suddenly realized that in addition to the original thirteen supreme laws in his body, there had been an extra one at some point!

However, to Gu Jiancheng's surprise, this law was full of mystery and obscurity, and it was only in its rudimentary form. Even with Gu Jiancheng's comprehension and talent, he could not discern what this law was.

"Hehe, no need to doubt, that's the primordial law!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from inside the hall.

The sound came rather abruptly, causing Gu Jiancheng and everyone inside the Mountain and River Map to change their expressions in surprise!

Could it be that there are other people inside this ancient hall?

"Don't panic, I have no intention of harming you!"

Just as Gu Jiancheng was trying to find the source of the sound, a hazy figure suddenly appeared behind the Emperor's tombstone.

The light and shadow were dim, but within the faint light, it seemed as if countless laws and divine essences were intertwined and surrounding it.

He was merely sitting cross-legged in the void, yet he gave Gu Jiancheng an irresistible sense of powerlessness.

"Dare I ask you, senior?"

After a moment's thought, Gu Jiancheng quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Hehe, I am but a stinking Taoist priest, but I am fortunate to have lived through countless ages and seen all the things in the myriad worlds."

"Now I am but a remnant soul of an old Taoist priest, guarding this place. I know you have doubts in your heart, so I can answer three questions for you."

"That was the first question!"

"You can ask now."

The old man laughed.

"Two questions?"

But Gu Jiancheng frowned upon hearing this.

Now they were filled with doubts. Two questions: How could this be?!

"In that case, senior, I would like to know, what kind of catastrophes did the ancient times ten thousand years ago and the primordial era twenty thousand years ago experience?"

After pondering for a while, Gu Jiancheng finally asked.

"You little rascal, you're quite the schemer. This isn't just a problem, and it can't be explained in just a few words..."

The figure pondered for a moment, but then didn't pursue the matter further.

He then said, "The calamities that occurred in the ancient times ten thousand years ago and the primordial era before that had the same cause, only the process was different."

"Moreover, it wasn't just these two catastrophes; to be precise, it was four!"

Four times!?

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng was startled.

Four catastrophes?

Does that mean there were tens of thousands of years of history before the Primordial Era?

"As for the specific reasons, even if I told you now, you might not understand. I can only say that it was the will of Heaven. All the beings of that time, whether gods or immortals, were destined to die!"

"However, during the two great calamities of the Primordial Era and the Ancient Era, there were human disasters involved. Some people, gods, and immortals were unwilling to accept their fate and wanted to defy the heavens, which led to the tragic battle you witnessed!"

"But in the end, it's still a matter of life and death." The old man stopped there.

"Then what about the graves here?" Gu Jiancheng asked again.

He had so many questions to ask, but for now, he could only try to figure out what was in front of him first.

After all, whether it's Yang Jian, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Wen Zhong, or even Buddhism and Taoism, the factions are just too complicated.

Gu Jiancheng couldn't believe that these immortals were buried together.

"These are the last eight immortals who sacrificed themselves in the final battle of the ancient cataclysm 20,000 years ago."

"They died together with the third Human Emperor in the ancient battlefield."

"Although they have different masters, they all fight for the lives of the Kunlun Realm!"

"However, among these eight immortals, there was also a traitor, who ultimately led to the Emperor's defeat and death in battle!"

"If you want to know more, you need to go to Xuanyuan Tomb to find out."

The old man said in a deep voice.

"Xuanyuan Tomb? What kind of place is that?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.

Although the old man answered, it was as if he hadn't said anything at all.

You will meet him.

"Alright, I have answered your question. What you see before you are some of the legacy left behind by the Human Emperor. Now, you will inherit the will of the ancient god!"

"With these inheritances, you will become the new Human Emperor!"

"A new human emperor!?" Gu Jiancheng was stunned upon hearing this.

"That's right, the Human Emperor will fight on behalf of all living beings in the Kunlun Realm. A new calamity is about to come, and you will have no choice but to shoulder the responsibility. This is your destiny!"

The old man nodded, seemingly not allowing Gu Jiancheng any room for doubt.

"Ding! System notification: A new mission has appeared. Please accept the throne of the Human Emperor and avert the eternal calamity!"

"If you do not accept, the system will disappear completely."

If you do not accept, the system will disappear!?

What, what's going on here?

In other words, he had no choice at all!

"it is good!"

Gu Jiancheng nodded in final agreement.

Since there's no other choice, we have no choice but to accept it.

Anyway, he still wants to take the inheritance in front of him. As for Yu Haojie, wasn't everything he did also to protect the people he wanted to protect?

It seems there's no difference!

"Hehe, very good. Thank you for coming here and helping me get out of trouble. We'll meet again someday!"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest gradually disappeared amidst a long laugh.

"May I ask your name, senior?"

Upon seeing this, Gu Jiancheng quickly asked.

"My identity is insignificant, and you will eventually find out. That law was left to you by myself; consider it a gift for our first meeting!"

As soon as the voice fell, the old Taoist priest's figure vanished.

"law?"

Gu Jiancheng was shocked upon hearing this.

The old Taoist priest just said that the laws appearing within his body seem to be the so-called primordial laws.

Original, Taoist.

Is it...

Gu Jiancheng's hands, hidden in his sleeves, suddenly clenched tightly. He seemed to have already guessed the old Taoist's identity!

"Husband, what's wrong?"

It wasn't until Yunshuiyao's voice rang out again within the Mountain and River Space that Gu Jiancheng came to his senses.

"fine!"

Gu Jiancheng shook his head and then went behind the tombstone.

At this moment, four treasures are floating in the air behind the tombstone.

A sword covered in cracks, two five-colored beads, and a jade slip!

Gu Jiancheng's gaze was immediately drawn to the broken sword.

Because, at this moment, although the sword was covered with cracks, the two characters "Zhanlu" were still dazzling.

This is none other than Zhanlu, the sword of benevolence, one of the three swords of the legendary Human Emperor!
