A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 448

Chapter 448 Forbidden Power

From Feng Qingyang’s memories, Wu Hao saw the records about the Forbidden Power. In just a moment, he was drawn by the images on the stone wall into an illusion.

“An illusion?”

Wu Hao’s expression grew serious. He hadn’t expected that after entering Feng Qingyang’s memories, he would be passively pulled into an illusion within those memories.

Still, Wu Hao didn’t resist. He was curious to see what exactly would unfold inside the illusion within Feng Qingyang’s memories.

Soon enough, Wu Hao witnessed everything he wanted to see.

“Is this… the Ancient Times?”

Wu Hao was somewhat surprised. Clearly, he hadn’t expected the illusion to depict scenes from the Ancient Times. But it didn’t last long before Wu Hao adjusted.

After confirming it was indeed the Ancient Times, Wu Hao looked around again, his brow furrowing deeper.

“This place… doesn’t seem to be the Divine Realm?”

As Wu Hao’s thought settled, in the next moment he saw the World Barrier within the illusion shatter with a tremendous roar. Instantly, countless streaks of crimson Forbidden Power surged out from the breach in the barrier.

The moment the Forbidden Power appeared, numerous figures materialized within the illusion. Noticing the aura emanating from these figures, Wu Hao’s expression grew increasingly grave.

This was because the lowest level of those figures in the illusion were all powerful warriors of the Divine Venerable Realm, and there were even hundreds or thousands of God Emperors among them.

In just an instant, the beings born from the Forbidden Power clashed fiercely with the strong forces of the Divine Realm. Watching the tumult of their battle, Wu Hao couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

If a conflict of this scale broke out within the Divine Realm, it’s likely that the entire Divine Realm wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

So judging by the current situation, could it be that some strong force predicted this battle and shifted the battlefield outside the Divine Realm?

Although the events in the illusion lasted a long time, to Wu Hao it felt like just a fleeting moment. That battle resulted in heavy losses for the Divine Realm’s warriors, but fortunately, in the end, they successfully expelled the Forbidden Power from the Divine Realm.

“So, the Forbidden Power truly is a force that does not belong to the Divine Realm.”

Wu Hao’s expression grew serious as he thought to himself.

Just then, a voice came from behind him.

“It seems you are the first God Emperor strong enough to have seen the information I left behind.”

Wu Hao frowned deeply and turned to look at the speaker. The moment he saw him, his expression grew grave—because this person was none other than the God Emperor’s corpse who had died earlier.

However, perhaps calling him the God Emperor’s corpse now was inaccurate; it might be more fitting to call him the God Emperor’s lingering remnant.

“You are the lingering remnant of that God Emperor?”

“That’s right. You can call me Divine Emperor Huowang.”

The God Emperor spoke calmly, but when he saw Wu Hao, he was momentarily stunned, though he didn’t say anything further.

Hearing this, Wu Hao pondered for a moment before asking, “What exactly is the Forbidden Power?”

“We don’t know much about it either. All we understand is that the Forbidden Power originates from beyond the Divine Realm. Its purpose is to destroy the Divine Realm and transform it into a world ruled by the Forbidden Power.”

Divine Emperor Huowang shook his head, his expression growing especially serious when speaking about the Forbidden Power.

Wu Hao wasn’t particularly surprised by Divine Emperor Huowang’s words. After all, Huowang’s strength was still weaker than his own. If Wu Hao didn’t know about the origins of the Forbidden Power, then most likely Divine Emperor Huowang wouldn’t either.

But then, thinking of something, Wu Hao’s expression grew serious as he asked, “In the illusions, I saw that someone seemed to have known in advance that the Forbidden Power would invade and therefore moved the battlefield early on. So, who exactly was that person?”

“That person?” Divine Emperor Huowang replied, “He is the Heavenly Emperor, the strongest being in our Divine Realm. We all refer to Him as Lord Wandao.”

Upon hearing Wu Hao’s question, Divine Emperor Huowang’s expression instantly became deeply reverent, speaking with admiration on his face.

When Wu Hao heard that this person was the Heavenly Emperor from Divine Emperor Huowang’s mouth, he wasn’t very surprised. After all, being the strongest in the Divine Realm, reaching the Heavenly Emperor Realm wasn’t unexpected.

It was just that the name gave Wu Hao a heavy feeling—Lord Wandao, the same title he went by himself. He wondered if this was a coincidence, or something else.

Shaking his head to stop himself from overthinking, Wu Hao looked back at Divine Emperor Huowang and asked again. After all, Huowang was a witness to the Ancient Great War, and hearing from him could reveal information beyond what the Heavenly Emperor himself might know.

“I want to know what happened after that battle. Why does some of the Forbidden Power still remain in the Divine Realm?”

“Though we won that battle, some of the Forbidden Power still entered the Divine Realm. Lord Wandao was too preoccupied to handle it personally, so he sealed it away.””And after that battle, we were all tainted by the Forbidden Power, so we had no choice but to undergo passive dissolution. Of course, some were less fortunate—they never dissolved and were completely corrupted by the Forbidden Power.”

Hearing Divine Emperor Huowang’s words, Wu Hao felt his heart grow heavy. So many powerful warriors had been deployed in that battle, even those at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, yet they only narrowly won—and the entire Divine Realm had paid an extremely heavy price.

Now, with the Forbidden Power threatening a resurgence, he wasn’t sure if even the Heavenly Emperor’s strength would be enough to hold it back.

But soon, Wu Hao shook his head, pushing the thought aside. When water comes, earth covers it; when soldiers attack, generals resist. What is destined to come will come. All he needed to do was prepare himself as best as he could before that time arrived.

Just then, Divine Emperor Huowang spoke again.

“Enough, fellow Daoist. This remnant of my lingering consciousness is all I can sustain. It’s time to say goodbye. Also, please destroy what remains of my broken body. And if you happen to meet my friend, kindly return the Chaotic Halberd to him. Thank you.”

“My friend’s name is Time-Space God Emperor!”

Having said this, Divine Emperor Huowang’s form turned to ash and scattered.

Wu Hao cupped his fists, his expression grave, and solemnly agreed.

“Fellow Daoist, I will.”It was just a Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact—nothing Wu Hao was overly concerned about. Moreover, this artifact didn’t offer him much benefit. Returning it to the Time-Space God Emperor to fulfill Divine Emperor Huowang’s last wish was not out of the question.

Right after Divine Emperor Huowang dissipated, the surrounding illusion vanished once again.

When Wu Hao opened his eyes again, he was already back in reality. Standing nearby were Su Qiaoran and the others, all looking at him with worried expressions.

“I’m fine now. I’m back.”
