Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 1312 - World-Shocking Fortune

Translator: Aran

After reincarnation, there would be a period of time during which the memory of the previous life could not be awakened, and thus the matters of the previous life would not be known. After the memory awakened, however, one would not only remember past matters but also become proficient in various techniques and magical abilities. Back then, when the Six Great Divine Generals and others suddenly felt that Ye Chongsheng had become incomprehensible and uncontrollable, it might have been because Ye Chongsheng awakened the memories of the Divine Light Emperor and previous lives at that time.

This kind of feeling was somewhat akin to Song Xiaojun\'s dark blood power.

However, because the dark blood power had some flaws, Song Xiaojun would suffer losses to her original memory and forget matters of the present life after awakening the memory of the techniques and power.

Countless ideas flashed through Ye Qingyu\'s mind instantly.

Subsequently, he thought about something else and shook his head, "That\'s not right. Yu Junhan, the wife of the peerless War God, personally said that she\'s my mother. I\'ve also seen a few images in the imperial priest temple of the Snow Empire that prove that I\'m the descendant of the peerless War God. If I\'m really his reincarnation, how can all this be explained?"

According to Yu Junhan\'s description of the depictions in those images, his birth was during the same era as the peerless War God. This made things contradictory, for new incarnations were only possible after the previous incarnations had died. He had co-existed with the peerless War God in the space-time dimension, which was not in line with the conditions for reincarnation.

"Haha, let me ask you, who is the First Princess of the Snow Empire?" Ye Chongsheng asked.

"She\'s of course..." Ye Qingyu was about to answer but suddenly could not give voice.

Back then, every citizen of the Snow Capital and the Snow Empire believed the First Princess to be Yu Junqing, a female expert of the Snow Empire\'s imperial family who had been highly renowned for a long period of time. Ye Qingyu had also believed her to be the First Princess all along. However, after meeting Yu Junhan, he discovered the secret that the true First Princess was actually this mysterious woman who lived in seclusion in a divine mountain.

Therefore, the First Princess was Yu Junhan of course.

But because Ye Chongsheng asked in this manner, Ye Qingyu immediately realized that the matter was certainly not so simple.

"Isn\'t it Yu Junhan, the wife of the peerless War God?" Ye Qingyu asked.

This was actually one of the matters that vexed and confounded him most after learning about his supposed identity. Initially, Yu Junhan could be considered his mother, but according to Ye Chongsheng\'s words, he was the reincarnation of the peerless War God, which would imply that Yu Junhan was his wife during his previous life. How could he face her now?

There was an awkward ethical paradox in this.

"Would you believe me if I told you that someone like Yu Junhan has never existed in this world?" Ye Chongsheng asked.

"What?" Ye Qingyu was stunned.

Ye Chongsheng chortled. "Every time the Divine Light Emperor changes lives, it\'s a true reincarnation and a completely different life. Therefore, the incarnation will go through all of the experiences of a normal person, including the seven emotions and the six sensory pleasures, and will definitely have female companions, wives, and children as a result. However, the previous 106 incarnations all lived until the end of their lifespans, when most of their wives and children had already passed away, and so they cut off from their eras very cleanly, basically leaving no such ethical paradox. Take me for example. I\'ve left behind offspring from romantic affairs in many different places... Heh heh, later on, after I awakened the memories, I became more mindful and eventually expanded the Ye clan as much as possible. In establishing the Ye family, I was intending to protect a treasure that can be accumulated generation after generation. I believe that you\'ve been to the Ye clan\'s palace. Have you seen the value of the treasures within?"

He looked at Ye Qingyu.

The latter nodded.

He continued, "At the beginning, my first generation of descendants was close in blood to myself. I was certainly very dear to them and took care of them. However, as time passed, they ultimately never came to possess my cultivation and lifespan. Although some became Emperors, they eventually fell because they lacked the ultimate luck. I feigned death and watched the Ye clan being passed on generation after generation. Several hundred thousand years later, the blood of my descendants has become very distant from mine, and I slowly lost all intimacy with the Ye family. Therefore, this is my way of cutting off my bloodline. A million years later, the Ye family\'s bloodline has become mixed, and has completely no relation to me..."

Ye Qingyu looked at Ye Chongsheng.

This way of cutting off was indeed special. Moreover, there had never been a supreme being like him who could torture multiple generations of Martial Emperors to death and torture a contemporary Great Emperor Race beyond recognition. Only Ye Chongsheng could do such a thing.

"Besides, every reincarnation requires a long time of a thousand years at least and ten thousand at most. By the time the next incarnation awakens, the marks left behind in the world by the previous incarnation would\'ve more or less disappeared," Ye Chongsheng said. "After all, except for myself, every other incarnation would deliberately avoid getting involved with previous and future incarnations after awakening the memories. You\'re the only exception."

Ye Qingyu quietly listened.

He wanted to know what kind of exception he was.

"This is because a few unexpected things occurred after time reached this age. The peerless War God discovered the advance intrusion of the fiendgod sovereigns from a different space-time, which doesn\'t make sense. According to our calculations, it shouldn\'t be taking place at this time. Clearly, our enemies have undergone unexpected changes, thereby necessitating amendments to our plans," Ye Chongsheng explained.

The "our" he spoke of was certainly referring to the Divine Light Emperor and his 107 incarnations.

Ye Qingyu continued to listen quietly.

Ye Chongsheng went on. "There are fifty Dayan numbers, and forty-nine are used. According to our calculations, only the 108th incarnation can attain reincarnation perfection and gather the destiny of ten million years upon himself. Although the peerless War God defeated the fiendgod sovereigns in battle, he was unable to destroy them completely, and could only confine them in the Fallen God Abyss using the roots of the World Tree..."

Hearing this, Ye Qingyu suddenly saw the light.

It turned out that the fiendgod sovereign from a different space-time who was confined in the Fallen God Abyss was not defeated by Ye Chongsheng but the peerless War God instead. However, this made sense too. Since the peerless War God was an incarnation of Ye Chongsheng, he naturally mastered the mysterious formation technique of the 108 ancient characters after awakening the memories.

Perhaps my earlier guess was a little off.

At this time, Ye Qingyu realized that the mysterious formation technique of the one hundred eight ancient characters might not have been developed by Ye Chongsheng alone. After all, this kind of mysterious technique was simply too shocking, and could be said to be the pinnacle divine mantra of the formation martial way. He recalled that, of the incarnations of the Divine Light Emperor, there was Formation Emperor Luoso among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. This indicated that each incarnation of the Divine Light Emperor had a specific purpose. Was the life of Formation Emperor Luoso specially intended to develop formation techniques? If this was the case, it was very likely that the mysterious formation technique of the one hundred eight ancient characters originated from the Formation Emperor, and only reached its final form after undergoing development by many subsequent incarnations, becoming a formation technique that was specifically used against the fiendgod sovereigns from a different space-time.

Of course, these things were not important.

The important thing was what Ye Chongsheng talked about next.

"After finding the wormhole that the fiendgod sovereign came from, the peerless War God tried to enter it. In doing so, he learned about a few things, such as the impending outbreak of the ultimate disaster. Eventually, he sealed this wormhole, but it merely delayed the problem instead of solving it for good. All he could do was to make hasty preparations and perform the next reincarnation so as to allow the 108th incarnation to come about in advance. In using this method, he was seeking the Great Perfection of reincarnation, but problems arose. Because time was of the essence, he could no longer get rid of the marks he left in this world, which would inevitably affect you. As a result, he had to think of another way to make his reincarnation become his own blood descendant in people\'s eyes." Ye Chongsheng explained on.

Ye Qingyu finally understood.

This was the reason why the Six Great Divine Generals and the others only went through half-reincarnations and not true reincarnations for this life.

And if it was not to cover up some information and prevent the Sky Emperor and a few secretly-snooping beings from making some finds, perhaps even the half-reincarnations would be unnecessary.

However, despite having talked about so much, Yu Junhan\'s existence had not been clearly explained yet.

Ye Chongsheng continued, "To make your existence more reasonable, the peerless War God created a character by changing the memories of others, which could be done using the mysterious formation technique of the one hundred eight ancient characters. You should be familiar with this. Everything could be solved just by changing the memories of people such as the stakeholders of the Snow Empire and creating a new First Princess out of thin air to become your mother."

Ye Qingyu secretly inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

Doesn\'t that make Yu Junhan a figure that only resides in people\'s memories, and not a true being?

"But..." He opened his mouth, intending to refute this.

Ye Chongsheng laughed symbolically again. "I know what you want to ask. It\'s because you\'ve seen that Yu Junhan is a real living person, right? That\'s why you think that she\'s more than just a ghost that lives in people\'s memories. You\'re right about this point. However, you haven\'t seen her for a long time already, right? In truth, she\'s nothing but a spiritual projection, just like me. You weren\'t strong enough when you saw her, and naturally couldn\'t tell real from fake. Everything will be clear if you see her again now."

Ye Qingyu opened his mouth but did not know what to say.

"In that case, the real First Princess is actually Yu Junqing, while Yu Junhan is nothing but a spiritual projection of the peerless War God?" He asked, "Is she nothing but a person who was magically created out of necessity? She has disappeared completely ever since leaving the Heaven Wasteland Domain all those years ago, and I can\'t find the smallest trace of her even by using the Light Emperor Detection Technique. Is that because of this reason?"

"What other reason can you think of?" Ye Chongsheng responded, "To guard against unexpected situations, each incarnation will leave a spiritual projection that can secretly guide the next incarnation. Yu Junhan is just like the me in front of you. You\'ll never find her in this world again because she has completed her mission and can go home already."

"Go home?" Ye Qingyu was taken aback.

Ye Chongsheng pointed at his own physical body, "It\'s right here... I call it home. This home has gone through 107 reincarnations, and is the most incredible treasure in this world which I tempered in the furnace of chaotic times. Hahaha, it\'s the final home of the spiritual projection of each lifetime. I\'ll also dissipate completely after answering all of your questions, and this incredible treasure will soon belong to you completely. As the 108th incarnation, you\'re the ultimate perfection, the crystal of the reincarnation technique, and also the ultimate key for solving the calamity of civilization reincarnation. Heh heh..."

"What exactly is so shocking about it?" Ye Qingyu gazed at the physical body of the Divine Light Emperor-lookalike in front of him, unable to sense any energy, vitality, or abnormality.

Ye Chongsheng laughed out loud. "It doesn\'t have any particularly shocking aspects, except that its body contains all of the power, wisdom, technique, vision, experience, battle strength, intelligence, knowledge, and memory of the 107 incarnations from the Divine Light Emperor to the peerless War God... Everything of the greatest talents in the world for millions of years are within it. Obtaining it is thus equivalent to obtaining the combined power of everyone, including the Divine Light Emperor himself, and becoming an eternal being above all beings. Don\'t you think that it\'s the world\'s most terrifying and precious treasure? What kind of treasure below heaven can be mentioned in the same breath as it?"

These words sounded to Ye Qingyu like a thunderbolt abruptly ringing out beside his ear.

There\'s actually such a precious treasure below heaven?

How is that possible?

This kind of opportunity can be said to come only once every ten million years.
