Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 496: People Have the Right to Know the Truth!

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: People Have the Right to Know the Truth!

Across the Desolate Celestial Realm, madmen appeared, shouting about the return of the Demon Emperor and that their demon race would soon reign over the realm again, then flew into the sky, disappearing without a trace.

This incident caused widespread panic, especially among those who knew nothing about the demon race.

In a short time, families, sects, and cultivators, both large and small in the Desolate Celestial Realm, realized something was amiss. They hurriedly scoured various ancient texts or ancestral relics, trying to find any information related to the Demon Emperor and the demon race.

To their astonishment, they couldn’t find any information about the Demon Emperor or the demon race, as if this demon race had never existed, not even a single record.

But why were these people chanting about the eternity of the Demon Emperor and the immortality of the demon race? What exactly were the demon race and the Demon Emperor that drove them to such madness?

No one knew what the demon race and the Demon Emperor were, yet they were desperate to find out.

This matter was known to the other four major Sacred Lands.

The Sect Leaders of Dao Celestial Sect, Yaochi Sacred Land, War Frenzy Sacred Land, and Sword Heaven Sacred Land gathered at a pavilion in the Sword Heaven dense forest.

"The demon race matter has already spread widely; we cannot let people know about the demon race or that Demon Emperor who died a million years ago. Our ancestors spent so much time erasing their existence from history; we cannot let them reappear!" Zhan Tiankuang said coldly.

If people knew there was once only one Emperor—the Demon Emperor—and that he alone suffocated the entire Desolate Celestial Realm, where would the reputation of the eight Sacred Lands be?

It was their ancestors of the eight Sacred Lands and other predecessors who took extensive time to erase the history of the Demon Emperor and the demon race, altering it to favor other Emperors, allowing them to secure their position as the strongest Sacred Lands in the Desolate Celestial Realm.

"But the rumor of the Demon Emperor’s revival seems true; haven’t those from the Cyan Dragon already gone to the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area?" The Yaochi Saintess said, frowning.

The fact that he might return is terrifying, even after a million years. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Heh, isn’t it Ye Lan? You three were in seclusion, unaware, but I know clearly that Ye Lan received the Demon Emperor’s inheritance on Blue Star and went to the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area to gain the remaining inheritance. He’s not the Demon Emperor himself." Elder Dao Tian said with a sneer.

Upon hearing this, the Yaochi Sacred Body, Zhan Tiankuang, and Sword Madman all looked at Elder Dao Tian. They had been in seclusion recently and were unaware of Cyan Dragon visiting them.

They were also unaware that Ye Lan had come to the upper realm.

"You know about this, so why not act? If Ye Lan obtains the Demon Emperor’s inheritance, won’t he want to kill us?" The Yaochi Saintess said, frowning.

Back then, she was the one who smeared Ye Lan’s name. Upon her mother’s passing, she became the Saintess.

If it weren’t for her, Ye Lan wouldn’t have ended up in that situation; she felt a bit panicked.

"What’s to fear? Ye Lan merely obtained the Demon Emperor’s inheritance, not the Demon Emperor himself. Besides, those Dao Emperors should be able to handle Ye Lan, right?" Elder Dao Tian laughed dismissively.

He didn’t believe that Ye Lan, who obtained the Demon Emperor’s inheritance, could escape under the watch of so many Dao Emperors. Regardless, he wouldn’t be able to stir up too much trouble!

The Demon Emperor’s inheritance remains just an inheritance, not the return of the Demon Emperor himself, so there’s no need to panic.

Hearing Elder Dao Tian’s words, they realized, indeed, it’s just an inheritance. Obtaining it requires digestion and time, and with so many Dao Emperors encircling Ye Lan, what use would he have for the Demon Emperor’s inheritance? Eventually, he’ll have to give in.

"It’s a pity those few took the lead; our eight Sacred Lands may have to split into four." Zhan Tiankuang sighed.

"It’s not that simple; the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area is a strange place. I have been there once, and barely made it out. Those few barging in won’t find it easy." Sword Madman shook his head.

"This excitement might not be worth joining in; even if those few kill Ye Lan and obtain the inheritance, they might only slightly increase their power, but at the cost of the Sacred Lands’ long-cultivated foundations."

"Wait, if the Four Beast Sacred Land went there, then can’t we attack their Sacred Land and seize their resources?" The Yaochi Saintess suddenly laughed.

Hearing this, the other three looked at her with a hint of horror in their eyes; this woman was truly ruthless, seizing the opportunity as others face difficulty.

But indeed, the current Four Beast Sacred Land has few disciples, and they can certainly take advantage of this moment to attack them.

"We can try, but first we must prevent the Demon Emperor information from spreading; let’s create a rumor to keep people distracted." Elder Dao Tian proposed.

It couldn’t continue spreading like this; else, someone would soon investigate thoroughly, and they weren’t sure whether the history concerning the Demon Emperor had been entirely erased.

The other three nodded emphatically.

Time passed swiftly, arriving at the second day--the second day of Chen Lan’s fusion with the Fusion Dao Body. He continued the process, but a false message quickly spread throughout the Desolate Celestial Realm!

[The Demon Emperor and demon race are fake news; those going mad merely contracted a plague that causes insanity, imagining nonexistent figures or matters; please do not believe.]

This message was jointly released by the four Sacred Lands, and their reputation forced people to believe it’s a severely contagious plague.

However, Bai Xiaosheng of the Knowing Pavilion took note of this rumor.

The Knowing Pavilion, although loved and hated, never spread fake news in bad faith, seeking only the truth!

It is precisely this commitment to truth that seats them as the strongest intelligence organization in the Desolate Celestial Realm, earning people’s absolute trust!

Holding a book in his hand, Bai Xiaosheng saw inside records about the Demon Emperor and the demon race. Broadcasting it, given the reputation and trust in the Knowing Pavilion, would surely garner everyone’s belief in it, but equally incite anger from the eight Sacred Lands, anger from those who wished to hide the truth!

Bearing such fury, the Knowing Pavilion might not be able to endure, potentially declining!

Yet, seeing those deceived, his heart was unsettled; people deserve the truth!

"If you want to do it, then do it."

At that moment, a voice sounded behind Bai Xiaosheng. He turned abruptly, seeing an elder, hurriedly clasping his hands in salute: "Old Pavilion Master."

"If you’re willing to do it, then do it. The Knowing Pavilion has always been controversial; some say we deliberately expose their Magical Treasures, causing them to be hunted with no privacy—that is indeed a flaw we have. But now, we have the chance to make amends, these deceived people need the truth, the truth hidden for a million years."

Listening to the Old Pavilion Master’s words, Bai Xiaosheng was startled, suddenly enlightened.

He turned back, looking out through the window, observing those kept in the dark; even now, they believe the eight Sacred Lands are the strongest or that those of the Wangu Clan are strongest, their emperors the pinnacle, yet oblivious!

Historically, the strongest individual was solely the Demon Emperor, the strongest race solely the demon race, the one who oppresses all Sacred Lands, all Dao Emperors, crushing them until they can’t breathe, terrifying them, to the extent of not daring to utter his name!

"I know what must be done; they should know the truth of history!"
