Leaving the Game for a Million Years: I'm the Human Race's Holy Emperor

Li Beifei sat cross-legged on the soft couch, a black sword box in front of him.

Li Beifei closed his eyes, held his breath, and concentrated. His divine sea surged, and his divine sense poured out, attempting to communicate with the Seven Stars Sword Box.

The Seven Stars Sword Box emitted a burst of light, and a pattern slowly emerged on it.

This pattern was formed by seven points of light, resembling a dipper.

This was the Big Dipper!

When Li Beifei's divine sense established contact with the Seven Stars Sword Box, he suddenly felt a burst of dizziness. He couldn't wait to open his eyes, but he was stunned.

He found himself in an unfamiliar starry sky.

"Wasn't I in my room? How did I suddenly get here? Master, are you playing tricks on me again?"

"Master? Master?"

"Gu Changsheng, come out."

Li Beifei shouted a few times. When he realized that he wasn't getting a beating even after calling Gu Changsheng by his full name, he knew it wasn't Gu Changsheng's doing.

"Not good!"

Li Beifei suddenly exclaimed. In front of him, a massive meteorite was rapidly hurtling towards him. He wanted to leave, but he found himself unable to move, forced to watch as the meteorite crashed into him.

"Damn it, am I going to die like this? My sword path isn't complete yet, I haven't beaten up Gu Changsheng yet, and most importantly, I'm still a virgin! Azure-robed fairy, damn it..."

Li Beifei screamed frantically in his heart, but the next moment, he was stunned.

The massive meteorite passed directly through his body, and he was completely unharmed.

"What's going on?"

Li Beifei, relieved from the scare, was now filled with confusion. But before he could figure out what was happening, another anomaly occurred in the cosmic starry sky.

An incredibly brilliant sword light slashed out from the distant edge, turning everything in its path, whether meteorites or stars, into dust, disappearing into the universe.

"This is..." Li Beifei felt a familiar sword intent from that sword light.

But the next moment, his pupils shrank. A figure in azure robes stood beneath the starry sky. Facing the earth-shattering sword light, he simply waved his hand, and the sword light vanished without a trace.

"That's... Gu Changsheng?" Li Beifei was stunned when he saw the azure figure. Although he couldn't see the figure's face clearly due to the distance, he was very familiar with the azure robe that he and Hong Hong had often criticized.

That was the robe Gu Changsheng wore.

At that moment, another sword light flew from the edge of the universe. Li Beifei couldn't tell how strong this sword light was, but it was definitely stronger than the previous one.

Because the sword light seemed to split the heavens and the earth, cleaving the entire starry sky in two.

But this heaven-splitting sword light, when it reached the azure figure, vanished like a breeze, disappearing without a trace.

"Your Majesty, Holy Emperor, this is too unfair. We agreed not to use power beyond the Great Emperor realm."

At that moment, a deep voice rang out. Then, a white figure walked from the edge of the universe.

"How is this possible?" Li Beifei exclaimed in shock, even forgetting what the white figure had said.

Li Beifei looked at the white figure. He saw a black sword box on his back, the very Seven Stars Sword Box.

"Could this be the previous owner of the Seven Stars Sword Box?" Li Beifei guessed.

He remained calm and continued to observe.

The figure, who seemed to be Gu Changsheng, said, "There's no way around it. I've already reached the realm of invulnerability to all laws. Even if I reduce my cultivation to the Great Emperor realm, the characteristic of invulnerability to all laws cannot be changed in a short time."

"Alas!"

The white figure sighed, seemingly dissatisfied with this spar.

"It's alright. Being able to force me to wave my hand and shatter your sword intent in the Great Emperor realm, you are among the strongest in the Great Emperor realm throughout history," the azure figure said with a smile.

"Damn, that's definitely Gu Changsheng. Who else would be so pretentious?" Li Beifei was completely certain that the azure figure was his cheap master, Gu Changsheng.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty, Holy Emperor!"

To Li Beifei's surprise, the man, who was clearly already a Great Emperor-level expert, actually took Gu Changsheng's words as praise.

"Can't you have some backbone?" Li Beifei complained inwardly.

Gu Changsheng smiled and said, "Alright, let's end it here today. I presume the Seven Stars Sword Box has recorded everything. However, are you really not planning to take the path of transformation? You must know that the path you've chosen is one with ten deaths and no life."

The white figure laughed and said, "I, Li Beichen, have never retreated since my debut. If I retreat now, how can I face Qingyue? Even though she has already passed away."

"He's Li Beichen?" Li Beifei was shocked. Various pieces of information instantly connected in his mind.

Gu Changsheng, who was in front of Li Beichen, remained silent for a while before saying, "Whatever."

Li Beichen said, "Your Majesty, Holy Emperor, if I fail, please guide the future successor chosen by the Seven Stars Sword Box."

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng's lips slightly curved upwards, and he said, "Alright!"

"Thank you!" Li Beichen bowed to Gu Changsheng.

Then the two figures disappeared.

Li Beifei stared blankly, trying to digest what he had just seen and heard. He felt that his worldview was about to shatter.

"Did you see anything?"

At that moment, a voice rang out, startling Li Beifei.

Li Beifei regained his senses. He found that he could move his body again, so he turned around and saw a man in white standing in front of him.

The white-clothed man was middle-aged and had an extraordinary temperament. But that wasn't what Li Beifei cared about. What he cared about was the Seven Stars Sword Box on the man's back and his appearance.

His appearance was somewhat similar to his own.

If outsiders saw them, they would definitely think they were father and son.

"Are you Li Beichen?" Li Beifei asked.

"Yes," Li Beichen nodded.

"Then the person who sparred with you just now was Gu Changsheng?" Li Beifei continued to ask.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart? What's wrong? Is it a little unbelievable?" Li Beichen said with a smile.

Li Beifei nodded. He knew that Li Beichen was a figure from 300,000 years ago. This meant that Gu Changsheng was at least 300,000 years old. But when he thought about how he had scammed him out of several hundred mid-grade source crystals, he couldn't connect Gu Changsheng with the person who had sparred with Li Beichen.

The contrast was simply too great.

"Hehe." Li Beichen smiled and said, "His Majesty, the Holy Emperor, has always been like this."

"Holy Emperor?" Li Beifei asked in confusion.

"He was the human Holy Emperor who cared about the world 700,000 years ago, oh no, it should be 1 million years ago. He is the Changsheng Emperor from a million years ago."

Li Beichen revealed Gu Changsheng's identity.

"What? That guy has lived for a million years, and he still doesn't admit that he's old?"

Li Beifei was still brooding over the beating he had received last night, and he couldn't even grasp the main point.

Li Beichen was also confused by his reaction. He looked at the young man in front of him, who looked exactly like he did when he was young. Could this be the reincarnation of his true self? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

But the Heavenly Pivot Sword Intent on Li Beifei's body couldn't be faked, and the fact that he could enter this space couldn't be faked either.

He couldn't help but recall something Gu Changsheng had once said to him.

"There is no such thing as reincarnation. It's just a flower of similar fate that blooms hundreds of thousands of years later."

Just a similar flower, Li Beichen comforted himself.

"That, Great Emperor, has he... has my master already surpassed the Great Emperor and become an immortal after living for so long?"

"Immortal?" Li Beichen revealed a look of disdain.

"An immortal is worthy of being compared to His Majesty, the Holy Emperor? You are insulting His Majesty, the Holy Emperor."

"Uh." Li Beifei realized that Li Beichen had also been corrupted by Gu Changsheng. Otherwise, how could he say such pretentious words? Now I finally know why I love to act pretentious so much. My master also likes to act pretentious. How can I not love to act pretentious?

"What's wrong? You don't believe me?"

At that moment, another voice rang out. Gu Changsheng, wearing an azure robe, appeared behind Li Beifei at some unknown time.

"Mas... Master, why are you here too?" Li Beifei was startled when he saw Gu Changsheng. Could it be that even if he came to this mysterious space, he couldn't avoid being beaten?

"I'm not your master. No, that's not right. I'm just a wisp of aura left behind by my true self when I sparred with Beichen back then," Gu Changsheng said indifferently.

"Aura?"

Li Beifei was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, Holy Emperor..." Li Beichen looked at Gu Changsheng helplessly.

"It's alright, you guys chat. I'm just curious about what kind of disciple my true self will receive in the future. Now it seems, he's just so-so."

"Cough cough!" Li Beichen coughed.

"Sorry, I forgot that he's also considered your reincarnation. But you can't hide the fact that he was only at the late stage of Concentrating Spirit at the age of sixteen. You were able to beat Nirvana Realm experts at the age of sixteen."

Gu Changsheng said.

"Your Majesty, Holy Emperor, if you continue, my legacy will be cut off."

Li Beichen gestured for Gu Changsheng to look at Li Beifei.

Li Beifei looked lifeless at the moment, with no fighting spirit at all.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng said, "I know how to stimulate his fighting spirit. Let me do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Beifei felt a fist the size of a sandbag hit him. Before he could react, Gu Changsheng rushed forward and started punching and kicking him. He felt that familiar feeling again, and even the strength and pain were exactly the same.

"Damn it... Gu Changsheng, damn you. Even you now are hitting me, and you from 300,000 years ago are hitting me. Damn it, when my sword path is complete, I'll make you kneel and sing 'Conquer'... Ah, don't kick my face..."

After a round of loving education, Gu Changsheng clapped his hands and said, "Done. Look, isn't his fighting spirit up?"

Li Beichen's mouth twitched. He said, "He's cursing you."

Gu Changsheng shrugged and said, "I'm just a wisp of my true self's aura. What does it have to do with me what he curses? I'll disappear after you've explained everything anyway. I've already beaten him up."

Li Beichen nodded and then walked to Li Beifei.

Li Beifei also knew that Li Beichen had important things to tell him, so he forgot about what had just happened and looked at Li Beichen intently.

Li Beichen said to him, "You will meet a woman who is very important to you in your life. Remember, you must treat her well and not let her down."

Then, that was it.

"???"

Li Beifei stared wide-eyed at Li Beichen and asked, "That's it? That's all?"

Li Beichen nodded.

"I..." Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who looked very similar to himself, Li Beifei really couldn't bring himself to curse. But he cursed inwardly. He thought that Li Beichen had brought him into this space to pass on his supreme sword path. He never expected that it was just to say these words to him.

He was beaten up just to hear these words. This... who can he reason with?

Li Beichen seemed to see through Li Beifei's thoughts and explained, "This is also to make you believe that I am Li Beichen. Otherwise, with your personality of daring to scold His Majesty, the Holy Emperor, if I just came out and said that I was the Seven Stars Sword Emperor Li Beichen, would you believe me?"

Hearing this, Li Beifei lowered his head a little embarrassedly. Indeed, if it hadn't been for the grand opening just now, he wouldn't have easily believed Li Beichen's words.

But, it's over just like that. He was unwilling. What about the supreme sword path? This wasn't the same as what was written in the books.

"Alright, I've explained everything. You should leave too."

After saying that, Li Beichen waved his hand, and a stream of light entered Li Beifei's mind, and then he sent Li Beifei away.

Only he and Gu Changsheng were left in this space.

And after sending Li Beifei away, this space was also slowly collapsing.

"Your Majesty, Holy Emperor, I never thought that one day, I would die with you."

"Get lost. You're the one who's dead and can't die anymore. My true self is still out there having fun."

"Hehe, that's right. Qingyue, I'm coming..."

...
