Chapter 331 The Ascension Platform Ten Thousand Years Ago

A trace of sadness appeared on Ye Liushuang's face:

"Emperor Qiu inherited the power of my life and slashed the Immortal Realm. These were all his own independent consciousness. I did not erase his consciousness and memory and make him my puppet!"

"That……"

Ye Liushuang snorted coldly: "Bai Qingyu is pretending to be clever, thinking that my consciousness can take over her body, so she uses such a little trick..."

"Then why did you let her inherit your second body!"

Du Fang was very puzzled.

"Because she was chosen by my wick, and the timing was perfect!"

"Chosen by the Spirit of Luck?"

"Correct!"

Ye Liushuang knew that he was confused about this history, so she explained directly: "The Heavenly Emperor's divine fetus will be fully formed after ten thousand years of nurturing. I'm afraid that if I miss this time, it will be too late for my third life!"

"And I determined that with Emperor Qiu in front of her, she would not be able to resist the temptation of the fairyland and would definitely go there, so I gave her the power of a second life!"

"Bai Qingyu really did go there and died there!"

Du Fang sighed. The temptation of the fairyland is the ultimate dream of every cultivator. Who can refuse it?

"Yes...they died for a good cause, a very worthwhile death!"

"But don't you feel it's cruel to them?"

Ye Liushuang gazed into the distance. "This is just a mortal's idea. Once the Heavenly Emperor's divine fetus is formed, all living things on the entire continent of the Nine Divine Continents will be buried with it. Someone has to sacrifice!"

"Shenzhou will become a withered land, just like the world in the north!"

These words completely confused Du Fang.

Ye Liushuang had already pulled him up: "Come on, I'll take you to see my second life!"

Her slender figure passed through layers of thick fog and stood by a crystal white river.

"This is where?"

"River of Rebirth!"

"Have not heard!"

A hint of frost flashed in Ye Liushuang's eyes: "This is where countless common people and monks have been buried throughout the ages. Look at the riverbed!"

When Du Fang looked at the bottom of the river, he suddenly took a breath of cold air. The bottom of the river was densely packed with white bones everywhere.

This River of Rebirth is almost a thousand miles long, stretching endlessly to where the sun sets.

How many people’s bodies are buried here!

Ye Liushuang explained, "This Rebirth River divides the Nine Divine Continents into two. In our time, the aliens had not yet come from Jubei City. The four continents of the Northern Territory were densely populated, the way of cultivation was prevalent, and various immortal treasures emerged one after another."

"This is the history before the Great Desolation!" Du Fang thought to himself. There is no record of it in the ancient books now.

"The four continents of the Northern Territory have produced two ascenders, while the five continents of the Southern Territory have only produced one. For thousands of years, powerful sects have sought to unify the nine continents. To this end, countless piles of bones have been left in this River of Rebirth!"

"My protector came here just to refine the body of a second-life ghost god! Look!"

As he spoke, Ye Liushuang pointed his fingertips towards the sky.

I saw the scholar holding the Cauldron of Creation in his hand, hanging above the river bank.

Countless ghosts and spirits at the bottom of the river all headed towards the cauldron.

The scholar walked slowly one by one, constantly skimming across the river, sucking the ghosts and spirits of the dead from almost a hundred miles away into the cauldron.

"This is why I'm called the Ghost Emperor!"

Ye Liushuang explained softly, "I'm taking you to see my third life!"

The thick fog disappeared, and this time, they didn't move.

The river bank beneath his feet was slowly rising, and Du Fang was surprised to find that the place where he was standing had become a tall mountain range.

The mountains grew taller and taller, and the river and the ground gradually disappeared from view.

The blue sky above suddenly turned dark and gloomy.

"This is the summit of Jingshen Peak!"

Ye Liushuang's voice was very flat.

"The summit of the God-shaking Peak of Buzhou Mountain, who knows how many tens of thousands of years ago it was, perhaps it existed when the world was first created. The Heavenly Emperor Sage placed the last Ascension Platform of the Nine Continents here, to allow the powerful in the world to ascend to heaven!"

Du Fang suddenly asked, "How many ascension platforms are there in Jiuzhou?"

"There used to be many, but later, all the ascenders chopped their own ascension platforms into pieces. So, this is the only one left of the Nine Divine Continents!"

"Is this the ascension platform you used to ascend to heaven over fourteen thousand years ago?"

"Yes!"

Du Fang's face was solemn. "Why don't you follow the example of the previous ascenders and chop it into pieces, cutting off the path for future generations?"

"Because I didn't chop off all my three corpses!" Ye Liushuang's voice was extremely flat, as if he was telling someone else's story.

"Does ascending to heaven require beheading the three corpses?"

"Yes, I cut off my own body, the evil body, but left a little bit of my good body! I don't want to cut off the path to heaven for all the creatures in Jiuzhou, but leave a disaster for myself!"

"The calamity you're referring to is the next ascender, the Nanji Changsheng who currently rules the Jiuzhou Continent... the Celestial Emperor, right?"

"Yes, he killed the three corpses very cleanly, and at the same time completely shattered this ascension platform, blocking the path for all spirits to ascend to heaven."

Du Fang heard his own voice trembling: "The Emperor of Heaven... The Emperor of Heaven left his bloodline divine fetus under the sea of ​​​​boundaries. The ascension platform was shattered. Does that mean... his own Holy Son cannot ascend to heaven?"

"Once it is resurrected, it can ascend to heaven, but not with the help of this ascension platform, but with the help of the pillar of the world beneath the four continents of the Northern Territory!"

"The Pillar of the World!"

"I've seen that thing!" Du Fang immediately thought of the vast and boundless pillars under Quzhou City that were pulled out by the three tribes of Jinghai using the Holy Fire Red Lotus.

"That's what they are. Together they support this world. With the blessing of the Divine Continent, the Saint placed two of them down. One is the Zhennan Pillar, which will suppress my body to death and provide nutrients for the Heavenly Emperor's bloodline saint son. The other is the Lidong Pillar, which will suppress the four continents of the Northern Territory!"

"What is that pillar suppressing?"

Du Fang was very curious, as he had never heard of these secrets.

Unexpectedly, even someone as knowledgeable as the Ghost Emperor shook his head and said, "I don't know. That was tens of thousands of years ago. Even if there was a Heavenly Emperor there, he has long since been reduced to ashes."

"So you brought me here to see your third incarnation?"

"No, I'm taking you to see the Ascension Platform!"

As Ye Liushuang spoke, she waved her hand, and a ladder appeared before her eyes. Going up the ladder, a vast cloud-topped palace stood at the end of the white jade steps.

It is vast and majestic, just like the heavenly palace in the fairyland.

Du Fang was a little excited and couldn't wait to go up.

Ye Liushuang suddenly said, "Pull out your sword that belonged to the Human Emperor!"

"Why? There's no evil blocking the way!" Du Fang was puzzled, but he pulled it out anyway. Chengying glowed with a faint black fluorescence, and the entire blade trembled slightly.

"How strange, it's moving!"
