Ch 290: Usurping Everything from Dao Ancestor… and Ascending to Heaven!

The first Xiang Yu left an indelible mark of invincibility in the mind of Emperor Gaozu of Han. After all, when the Hegemon-King of Western Chu was alive, he truly swept away all enemies above and below… Emperor Gaozu of Han was able to win only because he knew better how to unite all forces that could be united.

The second… needless to say, after the training of Chu Mo’s Avatar, the new version of Xiang Yu was a super-enhanced version of Xiang Yu in his memory. Not only was his strength even greater, but his personality was not as arrogant! It really made Emperor Gaozu of Han’s scalp tingle.

However, it was only after Emperor Gaozu of Han truly confronted the Hegemon-King of Chu of this era that he discovered that the current him… was wearing the Black Emperor’s crown and had reached the final years of his life, with all kinds of laws and mysteries speculated to their peak.

Especially since he walked out of the Blood River, even if he took the path of a Divine General, he didn’t need to worry about the problem of Qi and blood depletion leading to a decline in combat power.

Not to mention that he also inherited another Heroic Spirit Awakened version of himself from the future, his true combat power reached the Ninth Level Peak… but now it was only suppressed to the Eighth Level Peak…

Therefore, in this duel, he originally thought he was hitting a stone, but it turned out to be an egg.

After the Western Chu’s military formation was delayed by the formation gathered by the Han emperors, he joined forces with the Three Heroes of the Early Han to duel the arrogant Hegemon-King of Western Chu’s main body… but the Hegemon-King of Chu couldn’t withstand even a single move!

If Emperor Gaozu of Han hadn’t stopped urgently… well, Xiang Yu wouldn’t have died directly! But it was certain that his origin was damaged.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Mo asked, “What about the armies under Xiang Yu?”

“Liu Xiu is organizing them!” Emperor Gaozu of Han said softly, his eyes with divine light restrained, “You don’t need to worry, I and him are very familiar with collecting enemy troops!”

Or rather, those who had conquered the world had experience in this area.

“Alright!” Chu Mo turned his head to look at the Old Rogue.

The Old Rogue’s smile was as ingratiating as ever, after all, he was truly shameless, but under Chu Mo’s gaze, his smile gradually stiffened, and finally, he pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything, his face fell, and he opened his mouth with a hint of resentment, “Alright! Whatever you want.”

“Even if you want to conquer the world and become the emperor… it doesn’t matter! I can be the emperor’s father too.”

The Old Rogue gave up all hope. He was still very self-aware, after all, he was chased by the Hegemon-King of Chu and the Chu army with no way to go to heaven or earth, but the Chu army was so easily resolved by Liu Ying… no, Liu Ying didn’t even do it himself, he just sent a few people…

Although those people sent were future emperors, or even the future him… the fact remained the same!

Although he still had a lot of troops in his hands, theoretically, as long as he escaped now, he could make a comeback. However, he was obviously no match for Liu Ying… Besides, this could be considered his son anyway, and he would accept it if it really came to that.

It was better than being defeated by the Hegemon-King of Chu, or even being captured… the Old Rogue kept comforting himself in his heart.

“That’s not necessary!” Chu Mo was noncommittal, for the current him, becoming an emperor was actually a demotion.

He glanced at Emperor Gaozu of Han and said, “You, and many other Han emperors, help the other you! Stabilize the world as soon as possible… and then…”

Chu Mo’s eyes narrowed for a moment, he could also start his own plan.

“…Yes!” Emperor Gaozu of Han said word by word, he was not at all surprised, after all, he had been in contact with Chu Mo for a while, and probably understood what this person was thinking.

Then, he slowly got up, took a deep breath, and walked to Liu Bang, “Come on… I’ll teach you something!”

Emperor Gaozu of Han knew the other him too well.

Although the current Old Rogue was impeccable in terms of scheming and aura, he was not very good at governing the world… or rather, he was not as good as Emperor Gaozu of Han… After all, there was a long period of time separating the experience accumulated.

“……!” The Old Rogue was stunned for a long time before pointing at himself in disbelief, and after repeatedly confirming that it was true, he was briefly silent, his face beaming with joy, and finally laughed wildly, losing his composure to the extreme.

Chu Mo stared calmly at the side, watching the Old Rogue’s emotions gradually calm down… and finally returned to normal!

And next, Chu Mo did not intervene much, he watched as Xiahou Ying drove the chariot, stepped into a certain Great Realm, and then allowed the Old Rogue to meet with Liu Ying’s uncle, Lü Ze.

Lü Ze was naturally shocked by the appearance of Emperor Gaozu of Han and the defeat of Xiang Yu, but after narrating the situation and confirming that Emperor Gaozu of Han was really the Old Rogue of the future, he became even more loyal to the Old Rogue, and unhesitatingly gave up the army he held in his hands.

Whether it was the strength displayed by the Old Rogue at this moment, or the future, it was enough for Lü Ze to bow his head. Of course, even without these two… the historical Lü Ze also chose to support the Old Rogue… otherwise, there would be no future Emperor Gaozu of Han.

Next…

Then, Emperor Zhaolie of Han, Liu Bei, brought Lü Zhi, who had previously fallen into the hands of the enemy, as well as Liu Bang’s father, Liu Taigong, and others to meet with Chu Mo and others.

In passing… Liu Bei also brought Fan Zeng and Consort Yu… After defeating Xiang Yu, these two naturally fell into the hands of everyone, and Consort Yu even wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by Emperor Gaozu of Han.

And finally, after repeated consideration, Emperor Gaozu of Han chose to hand these two over to Liu Bei.

The main purpose was to let him hold these two hostage and rescue Liu Bang and Chu Mo’s relatives as easily as possible.

After a few more days, Emperor Guangwu of Han led the Chu army that he had gathered and initially completed the reorganization to meet with the Old Rogue and others.

After everything was ready, it was the vigorous war to unify the worlds.

At this moment, the Old Rogue’s power was roughly equivalent to a super-enhanced version of the combined Chu and Han armies. In this era, it was no longer a question of being invincible…

The Jade Emperor even said with a toothache that if Chu Mo summoned those existences from the Blood River, he might even be able to complete the cause that Ying Zheng had not completed…

Of course, it was normal!

After all, the Jade Emperor was already the Jade Emperor who had been slashed after the degradation of the world! Fighting now was a completely different concept from fighting before the fall of the Heavenly Dao.

Two months later, the worlds were unified.

And this time, the system of commanderies and counties was directly and forcefully implemented…

Even if the various worlds lacked officials, Chu Mo directly chose Blood River Summoning, he had collected all the people who had left their names in the annals of history since the early Han Dynasty…

The quality of this new team of officials could not even be described as outrageous.

Time passed bit by bit.

Ten years later.

In the Weiyang Palace of Chang’an.

Chu Mo sat on the Divine Throne, his Divine Thought spreading in all directions, penetrating the shackles between the worlds, able to sense everything happening on the earth at this moment.

He saw the people cultivating, planting, and living… He saw the officials cultivated by this new Great Han, gradually taking over the affairs in the hands of the Blood River Undead.

Returning this world, which originally belonged to the living, to the hands of the living!

Everything… was so thriving, with all things competing to grow!

The Great Han walked out of the quagmire of war at an extremely terrifying speed—

In just ten years, it already possessed the scenery of a prosperous age!

“The first plan is almost executed, and it’s on the right track. Now, even if I leave and withdraw the undead, it won’t have much impact on this world… Then next!” Chu Mo murmured, he could start his most original plan.

Without communicating with the Old Rogue, or rather, he and the Old Rogue had already reached a consensus on this matter. He even had the Old Rogue pass the throne to the future Liu Heng when he first founded the country ten years ago… He really didn’t like it!

“Start!” Chu Mo took a step and directly stepped out of the Shaanxi Great Realm, arriving at the peak of the Kunlun Sky Road, in the seam between the realms, this was one of the places closest to the Chaos Void.

If his breakthrough would trigger a catastrophe, then the impact caused here should be the smallest…

Chu Mo took a deep breath and used his Source Lifespan. At this moment, he broke the shackles of the world, and his aura exploded at an extremely terrifying speed.

◈◈◈

Quasi-Sage, Quasi-Sage Peak, Half-Step Sage…

Chu Mo felt that unspeakable sense of oppression, the originally infinite lifespan became limited at this moment, and then collapsed rapidly, but his face did not change in the slightest, he chose…

To fuse with the Black Qi in his mind!

Sagehood, achieved!

The worlds of the Main World seemed to be silent for a moment at this moment.

Then, it seemed to completely explode open.

The many Sages in the Chaos Void, and even the Heavens, all cast their gazes over. They were filled with astonishment, disbelief, confusion, and even horror.

Yes, even if they were as powerful as Sages… their emotions had changed greatly at this moment! Because they completely couldn’t understand what had happened.

“That’s… the direction of the Primordial World! This feeling… could it be…”

“It doesn’t make sense! It’s impossible… Even when the Teacher hadn’t fallen, the heavens and earth couldn’t give birth to another Sage… Why now!”

“?? This aura, Black Sky? No, I am Black Sky! What the hell is going on… Another me? Am I crazy, or is this world crazy!”

“Is it the Teacher’s plan? But… the world has already been degraded! Wouldn’t this plan… be too costly?”

“And I can feel it, a destructive aura, as if the world is roaring! In anger! In lament!”

Under the circumstances that they were doing their best to use Divine Power, they all saw Chu Mo. Although it was difficult for the powerhouses of the Sage Realm to truly descend into the Main World… it didn’t mean that they couldn’t make arrangements!

The emperors were the chess pieces of the Heavens, and the sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought during the Zhou Dynasty were also the chess pieces of the Sages.

In the next moment, they saw…

Chu Mo’s face was indifferent, but the aura on his body was still exploding.

“?????”

“!!!”

A dead silence.

This matter was so outrageous that the Sages didn’t know what to say… As powerful as Sages, the effect of cultivation, although there was some, could not be described as pitiful…

Perhaps after dozens of Yuan Meetings, they could only increase a trace of cultivation. But this… it was as if he could cultivate hundreds of Yuan Meetings in one breath! Although the aura was slow, it was steadily improving…

“Impossible, absolutely impossible…”

“?? Could it be that the previous guess was true… It really is the Teacher…”

Soon, in their understanding gazes, the aura of Dao Ancestor was born on Chu Mo’s body.

At the peak of Kunlun Mountain.

“…Interesting!” Chu Mo’s tone was inexplicable, he felt that the Divine Power in his body was rioting, the Heavenly Dao Position that he had forcibly suppressed originally, surfaced uncontrollably at this moment, forcibly merging with him.

He felt that within his body, an existence slowly opened his eyes, he said with confusion, “How could it be this time period?”

He was obviously Dao Ancestor!

Moreover, from what he said, it could be seen that he had indeed laid down… a backup plan for resurrection.

However, it was very obvious that in the orthodox history, this backup plan had nothing to do with Chu Mo…

However, Dao Ancestor didn’t dwell on this aspect too much, since he had revived, then he would live again.

Then…

“…Damn it, what kind of monster are you?!”

Dao Ancestor opened his mouth in rage, his words filled with some disbelief. His power, along with the Heavenly Dao Position, was constantly returning… but he was still unable to occupy this body, because Chu Mo’s power was also expanding rapidly, not at all slower than him taking back his power.

This made Dao Ancestor unable to understand… How did you… do it?

Especially after he repeatedly confirmed that Chu Mo was really not an old monster like him taking back his power, but was getting stronger through cultivation… his brain directly crashed!

But no matter how unacceptable Dao Ancestor was, the final result was that the two sides reached a balance due to almost the same speed of getting stronger…

In addition… this body itself belonged to Chu Mo.

Dao Ancestor couldn’t snatch it from Chu Mo.

Chu Mo’s expression was calm and indifferent, his Divine Thought was constantly expanding, because the current Dao Ancestor had revived in his body, Dao Ancestor and him could be said to be one in a strict sense, so all of Dao Ancestor’s laws were open to him.

Wanting to comprehend these, even for a Sage… it was unimaginably difficult… However, Chu Mo used the Doors of Time, possessing too much time.

Therefore…

Chu Mo’s body shook slightly, completing the breakthrough again, he felt that he had formed a very close connection with the shattered worlds.

The Heavenly Dao Fruit Position was completely revived!

But it felt different from Chu Mo achieving the Heavenly Dao in the past.

Dao Ancestor no longer spoke, he felt a pressure that could be described as fatal at this moment.

Chu Mo, through comprehending everything about him, became an existence of the same level as him in a way he couldn’t understand!

But still, that sentence, this body was Chu Mo’s from beginning to end, so… even if Dao Ancestor was unwilling to admit it, he had to admit that he had lost completely—he no longer had the possibility of reviving through this body.

“…Let’s make a deal!” Dao Ancestor spoke with difficulty.

Chu Mo didn’t speak, he just calmly continued to add points.

Countless pieces of information floated in his mind… He not only completely understood Dao Ancestor’s laws, realized Dao Ancestor’s current state, but even had extra time to speculate on how to resolve the Dao Ancestor who was one with him.
