A single statement uttered, and The World was shaken!
Even words that certain Quasi-Earth Realm experts hidden within the crowd dared not utter openly were directly shouted out by these Holy Land masters who knew no fear.
However, they were not alone. Behind them lay the Foundation of an Ancient Wilderness Clan. Naturally, they had no fear of the backlash from uttering such words. This was the advantage of seeking shade under a Great Tree.
The crowd's reaction was actually within everyone's expectations. If there had been no reaction, it might have made others suspect some hidden dirty deeds!
In this era, where even the appearance of a Sage would be revered by The World, the emergence of a Great Completion Holy Body was no less than a thunderclap from a clear sky, Radiance blooming in the Void!
No one present had ever actually seen a figure of this Level. Even their ancestors generations removed had only encountered traces of such beings in Ancient Texts, describing their invincibility and power.
The last one to reign over this era was the Green Emperor, who passed away nine thousand years ago. Although his grave was even desecrated a few years prior, it could not be denied that the appearance of a Great Emperor Level figure in this World would bring immense awe.
For a moment, everyone present was rendered speechless. Few even paid attention to the enormous Dao Script being suppressed in the Sky above, despite it looming directly over the crowd and appearing as if it could be suppressed at any moment.
But Huang's appearance seemed to press a mute button on the entire World, rendering it utterly silent. Only Ye Fan remained, quietly meditating, digesting a wealth of Knowledge he had never encountered before.
And Fang Bie stood there quietly, simply meeting the other's gaze. This Existence from the Desolate Antiquity was staring at him with great interest.
Fang Bie acted as if he faced not the most supreme Existence in this Universe, but merely an Ordinary Person. His gaze remained exceptionally calm and indifferent.
Although Fang Bie's own Strength was not high, even arguably weak, his Power Level was extraordinary!
His Identity was at least that of a World's Creator. The Power he commanded was itself a terrifying force from the World's very Origin. Fang Bie even had a feeling, a sense he'd gained the moment he acquired World Authority.
He knew with certainty that if he were to die, he might not resurrect immediately, but he would not truly perish.
He would not resurrect immediately because he hadn't acquired Resurrection Authority, but he wouldn't truly perish because he carried the hopes of an entire World. As long as that World was not utterly destroyed, he would be reborn through the endless Power of Vows.
This was somewhat akin to the various Divine Spirits in DND. As long as believers remained, and their Names were still uttered in the World, they would resurrect from the endless River of Time.
Fang Bie's display of this Ability was largely analogous to the Golden Immortals of Grand Luo in Mythology Legends. The Creator might not possess Power that transcended others by much, but their life-saving abilities were undoubtedly first-rate.
After all that, to sum it up in one sentence: "Since recklessness can't kill you, be reckless to the extreme!"
After Huang finished transmitting the Data to Ye Fan, he finally turned his gaze to the Youth before him.
Fang Bie's Identity was even more enigmatic than most. Huang possessed Combat Power at the Ordinary Great Emperor Level, and his power was beyond comparison.
But with a single gaze, he couldn't penetrate the Youth's Body, nor discern what lay behind him. It was as if he were looking at a mere Person, someone completely detached from this World.
This Person was untouched by Karma, ignorant of Mystical Power, originating from beyond this World, and unbound by Time.
"I wish to know, how did you come to understand the Story behind this Curse?" Huang asked, wisely avoiding the issue of the other's Identity and Origin.
As a Sacred Body, when he approached his Peak, he had also encountered this Terror Curse originating from within their bodies. But after much investigation, he could only conclude that it was tied to this Heaven and Earth.
Fang Bie said with a smile, "You must first guarantee that the one behind you will act. Otherwise, telling you would only hasten your demise!"
"Absurd! How could a Great Completion Holy Body possibly have an Opponent in this World devoid of Great Emperors?" Someone from outside the Crowd couldn't help but exclaim, only to have his ear sharply twisted by his teacher beside him.
"You little rascal! How dare you spout nonsense here! Go back and copy the Dao Scripture ten thousand times!"
The teacher and disciple quickly departed, and this brief interlude left little Mark on those around them. But many understood that what the Youth had said was likely true.
Otherwise, Huang wouldn't have fallen silent. He glanced at Fang Bie. "Are you certain?"
Fang Bie spoke directly, his Words imbued with certainty. "Not only am I certain, but I can also tell you the Future of these Fellows!"
"The Venerable One mentioned that a Youth has arrived in this world, one who is ignorant of Karma, unable to discern reality from illusion, unbound by Past or Future, and unknowing of Yin and Yang Worldly Affairs. I heard you know the Past and Future of this World. Could you tell me a thing or two?" As Huang spoke, with a gentle flick of his finger, the World fell utterly silent, leaving only the two of them. Oh, no, there was also another Phantom Image of a Radiant Man in the form of a Woman, standing silently behind them.
Fang Bie nodded. "The Curse of the Sacred Body Lineage will be broken by Ye Fan. He will shatter the Curse that Sacred Bodies cannot become Emperors, and also break the one who etched this immense Curse into your Bloodline!"
"Just what kind of beings are they?" Huang asked.
"Emperors. Emperors who have survived from the Primordial Era until now, relying on Curses to plunder the Essence Blood of countless Heaven's Chosen, the Flesh of countless Great Experts, thereby eking out an existence and surviving to this day!"
"Source Gods... Source Ghosts!" Huang spat out these two Words with venom from the corner of his mouth. "I've suspected them for a long time, originally believing them to be merely Lives of Faith existing in Mythology Legends. Never would I have imagined they would use such Names to cling to life in this World, Ancient Emperors!"
"Unfortunately... there are too many Forbidden Grounds. I cannot seek their Traces, nor can I even take action..." Still the same Problem, he said, his face slightly paling.
Fang Bie was quite knowledgeable about these Matters. He clearly understood that because this World harbored too many Dark Supremes, Experts like Huang simply couldn't act rashly.
Otherwise, he would face a unified assault from all the Supremes. In the end, it would still be this World that suffered. As a Great Completion Holy Body, guardian of the World, he would not wish to see such a Matter unfold.
Only by truly stepping into the Level of Heaven and Earth, achieving the Power to suppress The World single-handedly, would one dare to wage war against these Terror Figures who had survived from the Desolate Antiquity.
"Time will lead them to their ultimate end. Do not worry..." Fang Bie said. Since this World already contained their Existence, if things truly progressed to that point, perhaps he would arrive with the Infinity Gauntlet and deliver a Finger Snap.
"Since you claim to know the Past and Future, then... do you know me?" A light, clear female voice echoed from the side. The Sound was soft and natural, yet it pulsed with an incomparably elegant and wild overbearing aura!
"Ruthless Great Emperor, Female Emperor, Heavenly Emperor of the Southern Ridge, possessor of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, the most talented Great Emperor throughout history, the future Red Dust Immortal..." Fang Bie said, "Shall I continue?"
Fang Bie's Expression remained utterly indifferent, though his Hand was clenched so tightly it was nearly a Fist.
He had only uttered a few Words, yet he had revealed a wealth of Information. Though more Information remained unspoken, it had already caused the Qi of the Female Emperor, who had originally stood at the pinnacle, to quicken.
"Then tell me, is there a Method for me to wait for him?" The Female Emperor's Sound, after countless millennia, truly held a hint of urgency.
"In the original Future, no..." Silver Radiance flashed around Fang Bie. "But because I have arrived, the Future is now uncertain!"
