Chapter 102: Why Was The Heavenly Emperor Willing To Allow Himself To Be Cursed For Millennia?

Outside the mirror.

The entire heavenly palace was quieter than ever before.

Right now, everyone had come to the same realization.

The Heavenly Emperor! Had been framed!

The first city was so, and the second city was so as well. There was a huge possibility presented to them now.

The Heavenly Emperor had never massacred the human race before. He had merely been framed for it.

But at the same time, the Heavenly Emperor had never tried to clarify this matter before.

After all, given his position among the humans, if he was willing to step up and clarify things, he would definitely have gained the trust of the people.

“Why exactly was the Heavenly Emperor willing to allow himself to be cursed, to bear this ugly reputation, for thousands of years?!”

None of the cultivators could understand, and none of them could believe it.

Even though the Heavenly Emperor was a proud man who never liked explaining anything, this was a nasty stain on his reputation and character, a feud with the entire human race.

Even if the Heavenly Emperor did not care about his reputation, why didn’t he want to at least tell the truth to the humans?!

“Could it be that even the Moon Goddess had seen wrongly?”

“Could it be she had misunderstood this as the doing of the Heavenly Emperor just like all these mortals?”

Some cultivators passed such comments as they turned to stare at Changxi.

Changxi looked extremely confused, but also extremely shocked.

She shook her head with some panic. “That’s impossible! I couldn’t be mistaken! It was him! He was the one covered in blood, and millions of corpses lay behind him!”

“If not him, who else could it be?!!”

The two human cultivators spoke up as well, “That’s right, there’s no mistake. For these two cities, the Heavenly Emperor had indeed been framed. But not the following places.”

“This is the biggest feud of our race! How could we be mistaken?!”

“Also, several mortals and cultivators among the humans had seen it with their own eyes. It cannot be wrong.”

“Besides, after this matter, the Heavenly Emperor’s personality changed a lot!”

“After this, the humans met with a great catastrophe. The demons massacred us. But no matter how we called on him, the Heavenly Emperor did not appear at all.”

“Before this, he had taken such good care of the humans. If he hadn’t massacred the humans and had a huge change in his personality, how could he have allowed this catastrophe to befall the human race and done nothing about it?!!”

These words made the cultivators even more confused now.

The human race met with a catastrophe?

And this had something to do with the Heavenly Emperor as well?

But these cultivators did have a point.

Everyone saw how much the Heavenly Emperor took care of the human race. If there was no prior reason, why would the Heavenly Emperor ignore their plight when the humans were in such peril?

“Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor really did this?”

“But what could he have done it for?”

Everyone was confused. Very, very confused.

…

Inside the mirror.

Gu Changqing ignored the cursing and accusing from afar.

He stared down at the hundreds of thousands of corpses below.

Inside his heart, an unending fire of fury burned.

“Come!”

A mighty shout resounded from his mouth and the terrifying will of human dao gathered in his hand to become a sword of human dao.

Gu Changqing proceeded to tear the long river of time without saying a word.

He used his invincible cultivation, might and will to shift one corner of the river.

He forced the river to flow backward, to push it the other way, hoping to find out who was the murderer who massacred the humans.

At one point while doing that, Gu Changqing finally found a timestamp in that ancient passage of time.

He inserted his will of human dao into the river to find the truth.

That was a blurry place, like a void that was covered in clouds and fog.

Inside, there were two silhouettes. Gu Changqing was vey familiar with one of them.

Changxi!!!

The other one was wrapped in a tremendous amount of murderous qi. They seemed to have some powerful weapon that was able to hide their aura completely. No matter how hard Gu Changqing tried, he could not identify this other person.

He only knew that the other person was also a woman.

Because she spoke with a hoarse, female voice.

“My queen, I’ve already prepared everything in advance. His reputation will definitely be in tatters and everyone will blame him forever.”

“You just need to do what we agreed on earlier.”

That sinister, female voice spoke to Changxi.

And she had actually addressed Changxi as her queen!!

“I want him to live a life of nothing but loneliness, I want his life to be a living hell, I want to make sure he cannot have whom he loves, I want him to be betrayed and abandoned by his loved ones…”

That came out of Changxi.

But not in her own voice.

That was another woman’s voice. That voice was extremely hoarse, yet piercing enough to make eardrums hurt. It sounded like the cries and shrieks of a thousand ghosts, overflowing with wrath.

…

Outside the mirror.

As everyone stared at the blurry silhouettes in the corner of the long river of time.

Everyone’s eyes constricted.

Then they all turned to look at Changxi.

Changxi didn’t have any capacity to notice they were looking at her. Her entire self was thrown into chaos.

“Impossible, impossible!”

“How could it be me? Why don’t I remember any of this?!”

She kept shaking her head, as though she had gone mad.

Her eyes that were as bright as a galaxy looked confused and panicked.

Her memories returned to that time in her life.

It seemed like it was true that her body was hiding some secrets.

For example, she would appear in certain places for no reason…

Except that back then, she had never thought very carefully about any of this.

And now, many of the unexplainable happenings and doubts seemed to be lining up in her heart.

She felt like she understood everything now.

She understood why that man had trapped her on the Sun Planet.

She understood why that man had just taken the blame without saying a single word.

But the answers to all these questions stunned her, and made her feel incredibly guilty. It made her heart hurt so much!

Everyone was silent.

It seemed like everything had become much clearer now.

“I think I get it now.”

“Me too.”

Several cultivators sighed quietly. Their expressions were shocked, but their voices were low and they looked upset.

“What do you understand from this? What’s going on?” Some were still puzzled.

“Keep watching and you’ll get it,” someone responded.

Right now, Ye Chen was really stunned too.

But after a short moment of that, it was replaced by a nasty, deep fury.

His expression was as dark as the sky before a storm, his gaze filled with all sorts of emotion. But nobody knew what this man blessed by the heavens was thinking about.

…

Inside the mirror.

Gu Changqing stared at the scene in the river.

The moment he saw Changxi, the moment he realized there was something wrong with Changxi, a bottomless rage burst from Gu Changqing’s heart.

“Open!”

Gu Changqing used the will of human dao to shatter this section of the river, hoping to use it to pry open the layer of qi around that mysterious woman and expose who she was.

But she seemed to be using something really powerful, so he simply could not see her face clearly!

At that moment.

Rage spewed from his heart

“Go!”

He swung the long sword in his hand and the river of time suddenly collapsed.

That blurry image was shattered and broke into several pieces.

The silhouettes he saw earlier disappeared as well.

Gu Changqing reappeared in the middle of the human city.

And right now.

In the void in front of him.

A furry tail was floating in front of him.

A fox’s tail! What!!
