Actually, the cultivators had already guessed that the Empyrean might have been framed.
However, what puzzled them greatly was why the Empyrean, after being falsely accused, did not choose to explain himself.
Clearly, he was not the one who did all this, yet he bore such infamy.
At that time, the Empyrean was revered by the human race as their Emperor, holding an unparalleled position. He was the true guardian deity of the human race, the embodiment of their faith! Even though the Empyrean is now reviled by many humans and called a sinner, his prestige among the human race should not have collapsed so easily.
With just a word, a clarification, he could dispel the doubts in countless humans' hearts, leading them to trust him without hesitation, to believe in the Emperor they revered! After all, over the years, the Empyrean had made immense contributions to the human race, almost leading the entire human race to prosperity.
Without the Empyrean, how could the human race be as prosperous as it is today?
Upon realizing this, the cultivators fell silent for a long time.
They couldn't understand the Empyrean's actions, why he didn't explain, allowing himself to bear such infamy for ages, to be condemned and reviled by the entire human race.
Yet he never uttered a single word of explanation.
They couldn't fathom it, nor could they understand it!
So they turned their gaze back to the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, wanting to know what had happened that led to the Empyrean's silence.
...
Chu Yang ignored the accusations and curses, first glancing at the surviving mortals.
A powerful divine soul burst forth, like an endless ocean, enveloping their hearts.
He discovered that they had not been possessed, and their souls had not been tampered with.
How could Chu Yang not understand that he had been framed?
He glanced at these terrified people, intending to explain briefly, but then that familiar venomous resentment appeared in another place.
An endless rage rose in Chu Yang's heart. The culprit had appeared again, and this time, he would catch and kill them to avenge those massacred!
With a wave of his hand, a massive tear opened in the space before him, and Chu Yang leapt into it.
In an instant, he appeared a thousand miles away.
Here was another ancient human city.
When Chu Yang arrived, he found this city was identical to the previous one, filled with severed limbs and the stench of blood, rivers of blood flowing.
The slaughtered corpses were piled into small hills.
The once bustling city now resembled a ghost town, filled with deathly silence.
As Chu Yang pondered, a voice filled with hatred sounded again from not far away: "You are unworthy of being the Emperor, unworthy of the respect and love of the human race!"
A middle-aged man pointed at Chu Yang and cursed, his voice torn with grief.
His wife and children had all perished in this massacre, and his once happy family was now shattered.
All because of the person before him, the Emperor he once respected!
Chu Yang glanced slightly at the middle-aged man.
The man was also severely injured, clearly having suffered terribly, but it seemed as though he had been deliberately kept alive, leaving him barely clinging to life.
The middle-aged man's eyes were blood-red with anger and resentment.
Yet Chu Yang still could not find any signs of soul tampering on the man! Chu Yang felt disoriented, his heart boiling with rage, but he did not show it.
He stepped forward, trying to grab the man and ask him what had happened.
But before Chu Yang could touch the man, his breath ceased, and he died on the spot.
At the same time, the sound of breaking through the air came from the sky!
Countless human cultivators arrived at this moment, witnessing Chu Yang reaching out to the middle-aged man.
As Chu Yang extended his hand, the middle-aged man died completely.
To them, it was evident that Chu Yang had killed the man! Every cultivator's eyes were filled with horror!
So it was really done by the Human Emperor!
"I didn't expect that all of this was truly your doing!"
"At first, I didn't believe these rumors!"
"Thinking it over, your cultivation has already reached the heavens. With you on the Kyushu lands, no other races dared to invade, they all retreated from Kyushu."
"Now, the human race suffers such a calamity, and if not you, then who else could have done it!"
"I always thought you were the Emperor of the human race, the hope of our people, our guardian deity! But who would have thought, you would turn the blade towards us and massacre our race!"
"Chu Yang! You have betrayed the admiration and love countless humans had for you. You are unworthy of the title of Human Emperor!"
A cultivator, overwhelmed with rage, pointed at Chu Yang and cursed him.
However, most of the cultivators, upon seeing this scene, immediately turned and fled in panic, afraid of being targeted by Chu Yang and meeting their end.
The terror of Chu Yang was well-known. Even those who were half-immortals were no match for him.
Many cultivators, while fleeing, couldn't help but roar in the sky! The Human Emperor is massacring the human race!
Chu Yang felt a heavy burden in his heart. He ignored these cultivators and continued to tear through the void, heading to the next ancient city! The same scenes repeated themselves, making Chu Yang let out a long, sorrowful roar! His gaze emitted endless cold light, and with a blank expression, he tore through the sky once again, reopening the passage through the river of time and space!
He wanted to see who was framing him!
Outside the Heavenly Emperor Mirror!
All the cultivators fell silent at this moment.
Everyone could see that the Empyrean was being framed repeatedly! Perhaps the Empyrean never massacred the human race, and it was all someone else's doing.
But why didn't the Empyrean explain himself?
Clearly, the Empyrean had the trust of countless people. As long as he explained, there would surely be many supporters to clear his name.
Yet the Empyrean didn't do so. Even knowing he was framed, he chose not to explain.
What kind of reason could make the Empyrean prefer to bear infamy for ages rather than give an explanation to the human race? Everyone was puzzled, their hearts filled with confusion!
