To be honest.
The cultivation system in the Perfect World trilogy is truly a huge pitfall.
To cultivate to the highest realm, one must truly die. Only then can one align with the true meaning of the sacrificial path and genuinely advance to the realm above the sacrificial path.
But who cultivates not to become stronger, to better protect the people and things they care about, to obtain everything they desire, and to achieve eternal life?
Now, to become stronger, you have to die first, letting everything turn to naught.
It's no wonder that since the dawn of creation, only that multicolored red-haired monster actively cultivated to the realm above the sacrificial path.
Douluo I Shui Yue'er Livestream: "Actively cultivated to the realm above the sacrificial path?"
"Can one be passively cultivated to it?"
Holy Ruins Flower Powder Path Great Emperor Livestream: "Likely."
"If I haven't misunderstood, if I had aligned with the true meaning of the sacrificial path at the moment of my fall, that situation might be considered passively cultivating to the realm above the sacrificial path."
Douluo I Shui Yue'er Livestream: "Hmm, that sounds quite reasonable."
"One is being defeated and killed by the opponent, and the other is killing oneself."
"There is indeed a distinction between passive and active."
Perfect World and Covering Heavens and Holy Ruins Flower Powder Path Great Emperor Livestream: "..."
To be honest.
If one didn't have a screw loose, who would ever think of playing like this, and who would play like this?
This also explains why, after playing to the very end, the red-haired monster, despite possessing such powerful cultivation, developed major problems. It's clear that he was dragged down by his own misguided brain.
After all, having cultivated to that extent, as long as one's mind is sound, the body should not experience problems.
Holy Ruins Ying Xiaoxiao Livestream: "Pfft..."
"It sounds like sophistry, yet one can't refute it."
I've strayed too far, let's pull back and get to the main topic.
With the fall of the Flower Powder Path Great Emperor, the Heavens of the Upper Realm suffered a great defeat, almost completely silenced by the Strange Clan.
Then, a very, very long time passed again.
The first Immortal Emperor finally emerged from the Boundary Sea.
He was known as Emperor Bone Bro.
However, an Immortal Emperor was also considered a true high-level figure to the Strange Clan, and the Strange Clan naturally wouldn't let him go. So, an Immortal Emperor of the Strange Clan, taking advantage of Emperor Bone Bro's still unstable realm, successfully ambushed Emperor Bone Bro with a trace of the most primordial strange substance.
Knowing that he could no longer prevent the strange erosion, Emperor Bone Bro could only, before being completely eroded by the strange, sever parts of his soul and body that had not yet been contaminated by the strange substance, hoping for a slight chance of recovery in the future, or to prevent his dark-transformed self from wreaking havoc on the World. He then forcibly sealed the remaining parts of his soul and body that had already been eroded by the strange.
Then, an unknown amount of time passed again.
A Nine Nether Apes at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm arrived at the place where Emperor Bone Bro sealed himself. With the help of the dark Emperor Bone Bro, who had already been eroded by the strange, this Nine Nether Apes was astonished to find that his previously stagnant realm had slightly improved. This made him ecstatic, as he had originally been somewhat despairing.
To gain more benefits from this powerful being, the Nine Nether Apes accepted his terms, and from then on, treated the opposite side of the Boundary Sea as a vegetable garden, harvesting and sacrificing every so often.
Just like that, countless years passed again.
Under the Nine Nether Apes' instigation and promotion, three more Quasi-Immortal Emperor powerhouses successively joined the Nine Nether Apes' camp.
Time flew by, and the Era of Emperor Fall arrived.
This time, the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths finally saw a Quasi-Immortal Emperor powerhouse willing to fight for all living beings.
Unfortunately, this nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor was ultimately alone. Although he could defeat any of the opponents, except for the Nine Nether Apes, the World-ending elder, in single combat, facing the encirclement of three Quasi-Immortal Emperors, he could only die with regret on the spot.
Time came to the late Chaotic Ancient Era.
Perhaps sensing danger, the heavens and earth gave birth to the protagonist of Perfect World, Barren Heaven Emperor, in response to the calamity.
Thus, Perfect World, one of the three trilogies, officially began.
Douluo I Shui Yue'er Livestream: "Good heavens."
"He wrote so much, and only now is it truly beginning."
However, speaking of Barren Heaven Emperor.
I can only say... bitter... too bitter.
Just like the Ruthless Great Emperor of the Covering Heavens Era said.
I have finally seen it. Born in this era, you are more difficult and more bitter than anyone else. You need to sever the past alone through all eternity.
Douluo I Shui Yue'er Livestream: "What is Shen Fan doing?"
"Why isn't he continuing to write, but instead playing with his phone?"
"Did he forget the plot and plans to look it up?"
Hehehe.
When writing about Barren Heaven Emperor, it's essential to include his exclusive music to set the atmosphere.
The women in the livestream: "..."
The Ruthless Great Emperor was very right.
Throughout the Perfect World trilogy, whether it's Covering Heavens or Holy Ruins, the male protagonists have teammates who can fight alongside them.
For example, Covering Heavens has the Ruthless Great Emperor and the Peerless Great Emperor.
Holy Ruins has Yao Yao and others.
Only Barren Heaven Emperor in Perfect World, no one in the entire World could keep up with his cultivation pace.
As a result, no matter how terrifying the enemies were, or how many there were, he could only face them alone.
Oh, right.
Speaking of Barren Heaven Emperor, one cannot help but mention his Mother, Qin Yining.
Perfect World Qin Yining Livestream: "What?"
"Barren Heaven Emperor is my Hao'er?"
Perfect World A'man Livestream: "It's Xiao Hao?"
I truly don't understand why so many people in the original World disliked her.
Perfect World Qin Yining Livestream: "Dislike me?"
"Why?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
Perfect World A'man Livestream: "How could this be?"
I probably know it's because of Shi Hao.
But can Qin Yining be blamed for that?
Qin Yining traveled all over the Eight Domains of the Lower Realm to save Shi Hao, whose Supreme Bone had been dug out, but she couldn't find any miraculous elixir that could save Shi Hao. What else could she do?
Later, she returned to her family with a last glimmer of hope, wanting the strong individuals in her family to help.
As a result, someone in her family told her to have another child and use that newborn child to extend Shi Hao's life.
Perhaps not wanting to miss any hope, she did as instructed.
In fact, the very fact that this newborn child was named Qin Hao shows that Qin Yining always cared about her son, Shi Hao.
I believe that what Qin Yining did for Shi Hao was already very good.
It's just that her and Shi Ziling's strength was simply too weak; they couldn't help Shi Hao with anything, which made it seem as if she and Shi Ziling did nothing for Shi Hao.
