Hearing these words, the human cultivators were moved to tears, their eyes filled with emotion.
Throughout the era of competition among myriad races, humans had always been one of the weakest.
Not to mention other races, even among their own kind, human cultivators had often disregarded the lives of ordinary people, treating them as mere expendables.
Now, a figure had finally risen to speak for the human race and grant them the divine sound of the Great Dao.
This was the rallying cry for humanity's resurgence!
Everyone was teary-eyed and trembling with emotion. How could they not be inspired by the words, "May our human race, each person be like a dragon"?
For those who had always lived in hardship, these words were a tremendous boon.
"We thank the Human Emperor! May the Human Emperor live forever! May humanity endure forever!"
Countless humans knelt on the ground, bowing in the direction of the Eastern Continent and the Kunlun Mountains.
This was their profound respect for the Human Emperor.
These voices soared to the heavens, resonating through the clouds. The Great Dao itself seemed to echo in response.
The Emperor, in all his efforts for the human race, had earned their unwavering loyalty and devotion.
No matter where they were or what they were doing, people everywhere stopped their activities to kneel in the direction of Kunlun Mountain for a long while.
Outside the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
The cultivators were struck silent.
They hadn't anticipated that the Emperor would take such actions, uttering the divine sounds of the Great Dao for the sake of humanity.
Moreover, the truths contained in these divine sounds were so profound that even they felt a refreshing and enlightening influence, greatly benefiting their cultivation.
It was remarkable that such profound insights could be conveyed through the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, hinting at the immense impact the Emperor's words had on humanity.
This touched many cultivators deeply.
The Emperor had already done enough for the human race.
Only Ye Fan, who stood apart, wore an extremely grim expression.
Wasn't such public displays of divine reverence meant for someone like him, the so-called child of destiny?
All of this was supposed to be his glory, but it had been taken away by the Emperor.
Even when he led a multitude of powerful cultivators to besiege the Emperor and trap him within the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, it had not been as dazzling or had it stirred such celestial phenomena.
Ye Fan couldn't understand.
He had removed a great demon for the sake of the world, yet received little praise.
In contrast, the Emperor received countless accolades and adoration from the masses?
Jealousy had twisted Ye Fan's perception. His eyes seemed to blaze with anger, wishing that the Emperor would be consumed by the Heavenly Emperor Mirror to end his overshadowing presence.
At the same time, Ye Fan's mind raced, trying to comprehend the divine sounds of the Great Dao spoken by the Emperor.
He too wanted to articulate some divine truths of his own.
However, he pondered for a long time, his face turning red, and was unable to utter a single word.
At this moment, he truly understood that the Dao Divine Sound was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Even the proud Ye Fan had to admit that compared to the Emperor, he was still far inferior.
The few words from the Emperor brought a cleansing to the soul and an elevation of the spirit that ordinary people simply couldn't achieve.
It was as if these words were not something a mere person could utter.
However, for Ye Fan, he still had a skill that could overshadow the Emperor.
That was his ability to boast and make grand claims!
Even if he couldn't match the Emperor, could he not speak against him? Could he not disparage him?
Ye Fan pondered for a moment, then a cold smile appeared on his face: "Everyone, don't be deceived by the Emperor's outward appearance!"
"What he is doing now, descending the Dao Divine Sound, is not for the benefit of the human race, but solely for himself!"
"Understand that the Emperor is now practicing the path of humanity. By descending the Dao Divine Sound, he makes all humans devoted to him, revering him as their ruler. The Emperor can also use the human race to validate his Dao!"
"If it weren't for using the human race, why would he later massacre them?"
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, all the cultivators present suddenly realized.
They soon understood.
Indeed, although the Emperor now seemed to be working for the human race, his intentions were far greater!
In the end, the Emperor intended to exterminate the human race!
Looking back now, the Emperor's previous actions seemed incredibly hypocritical.
"Heh, I was moved by the Emperor's blessings to the human race just now, but now it seems his character is too deep and extremely hypocritical!"
"Yes, who would have thought that the Emperor would make such moves to gain the trust of the human race? He treated the entire human race as his tools, which he could use and discard at any time!"
The crowd of cultivators began to denounce the Emperor's actions.
The Emperor's deeds had no trace of humanity, using the human race so cruelly for his own purposes.
The cultivators felt regret for the existence of the human race, and their previous praises turned into angry curses.
Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but smile.
This was exactly what he hoped for: a world-destroying demon, what he deserved was not praise but scorn!
Praise belonged only to those like him, the child of destiny!
For a moment, Ye Fan looked forward even more to the scene where the Emperor would later ruthlessly slaughter the human race and empty their cities of blood.
It must be very interesting, right?
At this moment, Chu Yang stood between heaven and earth in a white robe.
The seal in his hand had grown immense, like a great mountain, emitting a terrifying pressure.
In this realm, the invisible will of humanity continuously surged into Chu Yang's body from all directions.
These wills embodied the faith and admiration of countless humans.
This made Chu Yang's aura extraordinarily terrifying.
The frightening will of humanity was like a boiling volcano or surging waves, engulfing the sky.
The oppressive force filled the heavens and shocked the nine realms.
The intangible will of humanity that solely belonged to the human path enveloped Chu Yang, bringing him to an extreme level of sublimation.
In his white robe, Chu Yang strode proudly towards the towering sky.
With each step, Chu Yang's vitality surged, and his pressure became extremely terrifying.
He took a total of nine steps.
Boom!
An invisible wave of sound erupted from Chu Yang, spreading across the nine heavens and ten earths, shaking the vast land.
Chu Yang had become an Emperor!
