Villain: Starting with a Flawless Body, Born Invincible

123: The Dharma is born, the divine realm is formed“The so-called Human Emperor is not a specific person, nor is it a symbol.”

“It is a responsibility.”

“Innumerable powerhouses have left their names on the Sacred Tablet; they were all figures who led an era in their lifetime. Future generations only need to touch the Sacred Tablet, and those who are qualified can face their predecessors directly and receive their Legacy.”

“Your presence here signifies your qualification to receive the Human Emperor’s Legacy.”

Inside the Sacred Tablet space, Jun Lingxiao was unaware of what was happening outside. He was currently listening to a Senior’s explanation.

This relic itself was a battleground ruin, and the presence of Jun Family’s ancestors within it was within Jun Lingxiao’s expectations, but he truly hadn’t anticipated meeting a legendary figure of the Jun Family here: Jun Yongzheng.

The legendary figure who had forever cemented the Jun Family’s position as number one in strength on the Divine Tablet.

“So, this is your Jun Family’s little one? Indeed, he is extraordinary.”

“Exactly, a child of our Jun Family should be like this. Unlike you, how many years has it been since a junior from your Family has come?”

“If you say that, I’ll get excited. Look, as a Loose Cultivator without the help of a Family, didn’t I also stand here?”

The old men around them gathered, speaking one after another. Their appearances varied, clearly indicating they came from different places.

However, they did share one thing in common: a glowing white mark on their foreheads.

“Alright, step back a bit. Don’t confuse this child.” Jun Yongzheng waved his hand at the old men like shooing flies, and only then did the surroundings quiet down.

Afterward, he continued to explain to Jun Lingxiao:

“However, although you are qualified to receive the Human Emperor’s Legacy, in reality, we can only teach and guide you. The so-called title of Human Emperor must be earned by yourself.”

“Based on your actions and performance, if you are truly qualified, the Human Emperor Seal will descend, proclaiming it to all living beings.”

Jun Lingxiao nodded as he listened. Then, Jun Yongzheng explained the wondrous nature of this space. In essence, it was a trial Dao field where Jun Lingxiao could spar with successive Human Emperors. How much he could learn, and what he could learn, depended entirely on him.

However, as he listened, Jun Lingxiao couldn’t help but ask a question:

“Then, what is the actual use of this so-called Human Emperor title?”

“Is it just a symbol? If it can’t grant any power or authority, then what’s its purpose?”

He posed a Soul-searching question.

Upon hearing this, Jun Yongzheng gave a wry smile and actually nodded, quite agreeing with Jun Lingxiao’s words.

“Actually, the first time I came to this space, I thought the same as you. Human Emperor, such a domineering title, yet it has no effect whatsoever.”

“However, later, I understood.”

“I only left a wisp of my Divine Soul, not to be enshrined in my Family, nor to be known by the world. It’s not for some false fame or anything else.”

“We stand here only to leave a fallback for future generations, a misty path. This path is vague, seemingly a legend, but it truly exists.”

“If darkness descends, then the successor we cultivate will be the final bulwark.”

“To put it bluntly, these are all spontaneous actions by us, for this world, for our Human Race, for the common people of the world—spontaneous, selfless, a backup plan, that’s all.”

“The meaning of the Legacy’s existence is for nothing else but to protect our Human Race, ensuring eternal prosperity.”

“Truly foolish,” Jun Lingxiao murmured softly as he listened.

There are so many people in the world, good and bad, related to him and unrelated to him. He is not a Saint, so why should he save them?

Jun Yongzheng listened to Jun Lingxiao’s soft words and nodded with emotion.

“Foolish? Indeed, it is foolish.”

“But in the last moments of my life, I didn’t think so much anymore. I risked my life to save what I loved, what I cherished, what I protected. As for the countless people of the world, they were merely a bonus.”

“I have no regrets.”

“Jun Lingxiao, I can see your actions within the Family. You are very capable, truly very capable, and the path you walk is certainly the correct one. Everything you have seen, heard, and felt today can be treated as if it never happened.”
