Chapter 245: Cowardice
Inside the All Heavens World, Fang Ming looked at the calmed Soul River and sighed softly, "These four indeed possess the aptitude of Immortal Emperors, but it's a pity..."
Shi Hao walked over, looked at the four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors within the Soul River, and calmly said, "It's not that much of a pity. People like them will sooner or later become another source of the Weirdness if left alive."

"Fellow Daoist, have you not tried to fundamentally transform these people and make them positive figures?" Fang Ming looked at Shi Hao and asked with a hint of curiosity.
He wanted to know if they, with their abilities, could achieve such a feat.
Shi Hao chuckled and said, "The reason they achieved such accomplishments is precisely because of their personalities. If their personalities were twisted, they wouldn't be able to achieve such heights."
There has never been a rule that only positive figures or morally upright individuals can achieve great accomplishments.
"If their personalities were twisted and they could still grow to their current level, it would essentially be equivalent to recreating a Quasi-Immortal Emperor with Immortal Emperor aptitude," he continued.
The implication was clear: why bother with such effort when they could simply recreate them.
At this moment, Shi Hao looked towards the Soul River direction with a smile and said, "Those few are in trouble. The Immortal Emperor of the Weird Clan has noticed them."
Fang Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "They wouldn't detect the anomaly of my All Heavens World, would they?"
If the Immortal Emperor of the Weird Clan cast his gaze over, and after dealing with those four, decided to make a move, his All Heavens World might be exposed.
"It doesn't matter. They have become like startled birds and may not have the courage to act," Shi Hao was very calm. He looked towards the direction of the Plateau of Disaster, smiled, and said, "Even if they have the courage to act, there's no need to worry. For us, we fight when we want to fight and leave when we want to leave."
It was precisely because he sensed the approach of the Weird Immortal Emperor that he came here.
At this moment, within the shattered Soul River, the four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors were searching for something, looking for Immortal Emperor scriptures that might exist outside the Weird Quasi-Immortal Emperors' primordial spirits.
Suddenly, an incredibly cold voice, filled with killing intent, resounded throughout the boundless All Heavens, echoing in the hearts of countless living beings.
"Hmph! Four mere Quasi-Immortal Emperor ants dare to provoke this Emperor? This Emperor shall appear now and let you see, just see if you can face this Emperor's true appearance directly!"
Before the voice finished, the place where the Soul River was located became hazy. The previously shattered Soul River disappeared, replaced by a strange and inexplicable area.
It was vast and ancient, infinitely expansive, surpassing the Boundary Sea by an immeasurable amount. Countless waves of blood-colored Great Dao annihilated time and space, destroying the Great Dao. A supreme figure stood with his hands behind his back, stepping on the blood-colored waves, his gaze chillingly fixed on the Soul River.
Even across endless time and space, one could feel that supreme aura.
"Not good!"
"A true Immortal Emperor..."
Cang Di, Yu Di, Hong Di, and Mieshi Laoren's thoughts raced. Without time to think further, they immediately intended to summon the Ancient Receiving Hall and flee from here.
At that moment, the only place they could think of possibly hiding was the ultimate ancient land on the other side of the Boundary Sea.
However, at this very moment, they found that their bodies were not obeying their commands and remained rooted in place.
"You're leaving already?" The mocking voice of the Weird Immortal Emperor, whose location and time-space were unknown, came through, "Didn't you say you wanted to see for yourselves? Now that I've appeared, you're unhappy!"
As the voice fell, Cang Di, Yu Di, Hong Di, and Mieshi Laoren were involuntarily forced to raise their heads and look forward, directly seeing the figure of the Weird Clan.
"Ah..."
The four of them let out sounds of mingled terror and fear. They saw an incredibly terrifying existence. In an instant, their own Great Dao underwent strange changes, being contaminated by inexplicable weirdness.
In a flash, a multi-colored strange whirlwind swept across the area where the Soul River had been. At the same time, countless red, green, blue, cyan, and other multi-colored strange hairs grew out of Cang Di, Yu Di, Hong Di, and Mieshi Laoren's bodies.
"Whoosh~"
The strange Great Dao whirlwind howled past, and the multi-colored hairs spread out boundlessly, like a Great Dao tide. The original four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors had vanished without a trace.
For a true Immortal Emperor, killing four Quasi-Immortal Emperors was indeed a matter of a single thought.
After completing all this, this Immortal Emperor of the Weird Clan stood at the edge of the Plateau of Disaster. His gaze swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, across countless All Heavens Worlds, and a chilling light shot out from his eyes, saying:
"Another mutated past. How many layouts has that person made in the past and future..."
In the process of tracking down Shi Hao and Ye Fan, as well as the whereabouts of their foundations, he had discovered countless so-called 'variables'.
Most of these variables were artificially created, mostly traps, a huge and boundless pit. The person pointed to by the so-called variables was essentially a manifestation of the He Transforms Freely Great Method.
It was fine if he didn't act, but once he did, in the end, the person manifested by the He Transforms Freely Great Method would awaken, and that would cause trouble.
Most importantly, even if he dealt with the 'variable' manifested by the He Transforms Freely Great Method, the Ancestors' personal deduction could not follow the clues to find where Shi Hao and Ye Fan were hiding.
They could only know that those two must still be alive!
The Weird Immortal Emperor's gaze swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, across the Immortal Domain, the Burial Ground, and other places. He saw the disappeared Other Realm and the expanding All Heavens World, showing a look of apprehension.
Of course, he was not apprehensive of the master of the All Heavens World, who had not yet advanced to Quasi-Immortal Emperor. He suspected that the master of this All Heavens World was actually a manifestation of the Wild Heaven Emperor's He Transforms Freely Great Method.
Admittedly, after that battle, even the Wild Heaven Emperor was severely injured, but that was the Wild Heaven Emperor after all, the one who caused the Ancestors to enter eternal silence.
As of now, if he were to step into a trap, even if he didn't die, he would lose a layer of skin!
There was more than just one such example. In the future or past time-space, Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and even Immortal Emperors of the Weird Clan, had made discoveries, believing they had found the so-called 'variables', only to fall into the pits.
Thinking of this, the figure of this Weird Immortal Emperor gradually faded. He had made his decision: simply increase the number of Quasi-Immortal Emperors under his command, and he himself would not take the risk.
Currently, no Quasi-Immortal Emperors had been born within the All Heavens at all. Even if there were Quasi-Immortal Emperors, their number was limited. As long as they increased the number of Quasi-Immortal Emperors in their clan, exceeding the carrying capacity of this era, it would be sufficient for verification.
As this Immortal Emperor disappeared, time flowed backward. The shattered Soul River was restored to its entirety, and countless living beings within it reappeared, including the Weird Quasi-Immortal Emperors who had been beheaded by the four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors.
This was the great power belonging to an Immortal Emperor!
"They really didn't make any other moves!!"
Inside the All Heavens World, Fang Ming was genuinely surprised to see the Immortal Emperor of the Weird Clan leave.
He had thought that no matter what, he would try to probe a little, given such a significant variable right before him.
Not far away, Shi Hao revealed a smile, as if he had thought of something interesting. He said:
"It's not entirely unexpected. I once used the He Transforms Freely Great Method to set traps in different time-spaces, artificially creating countless 'variables'. They've been tricked so many times that they've become extremely sensitive. Even Immortal Emperor-level Weird beings don't dare to easily step out of that Ertu."
Once bitten by a snake, one fears the rope for ten years. This is the most realistic portrayal of the high-level members of the Weird Clan at present.
After the Immortal Emperor of the Weird Clan left, Shi Hao also returned to his seclusion place.
Occasionally, he would also take control of the avatars he had manifested through the He Transforms Freely Great Method, engaging in a contest of strength with figures like the Immortal Emperors and even the Ancestors of the Weird Clan.
Seeing Shi Hao leave, Fang Ming's thoughts shifted, and his attention returned to his attribute panel. After such a long time, he was already able to reopen the next All Heavens World Gate.
"However, where the All Heavens World Gate should open is a problem..." Fang Ming pondered in his mind.
Opening the All Heavens World Gate was not entirely without risk. It would be quite disadvantageous if he opened it to a dangerous and powerful world.
Especially since there were already previous examples. The opening of the All Heavens World Gate had randomness. If it randomly connected to a more powerful time-space within the current worldview, it would likely not be pleasant.
Even if it didn't randomly connect to other time-spaces that were more powerful within the current worldview, even other time-spaces would still have dangers.
As his thoughts turned, Fang Ming already had an idea. He had already arrived at Ye Fan's foundational world and found Ye Fan.
Currently, there was no place safer than where they were.
Compared to others, Ye Fan, who also originated from Earth, was considered a 'fellow countryman' and, to some extent, had more in common.
Ye Fan's foundational world, and the countless All Heavens and Upper Realm they had rebuilt with great magical power, were not in the same All Heavens World as Fang Ming.
Of course, the two were connected; they were not completely independent.
Here, time was completely independent, and Fang Ming did not interfere with their affairs.
Today, a thousand years later, they had long since re-manifested the former boundless All Heavens and the endless Upper Realm.
Currently, these Immortal Emperors had already severed their split bodies and begun cultivating their second Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit.
Seeing Fang Ming's arrival, Ye Fan was not overly surprised. He had already guessed something and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have come here, presumably having decided to prepare to open the passage to other foreign lands outside the Dao?"
Indeed, for them at present, the two major foreign Dao information contained within Fang Ming were sufficient for them to cultivate two Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits.
However, the matter of opening the passage to foreign lands outside the Dao was Fang Ming's personal affair. This matter was considered in their cooperation from the beginning.
In cooperation, it was impossible to only consider one's own gains without considering the corresponding risks.
Fang Ming came across from a foreign land, certainly not for nothing. They believed there might be other purposes involved, so they were bound to share some of the risks with him.
After analysis, and observing the actions of Shi Hao in this time-space, they believed that the risk brought by Fang Ming, this foreigner from outside the Dao, was less than that of the Weird Plateau. The risk posed by the existence of the Weird Clan was higher. Comparing the two and choosing the lesser, they chose to cooperate with this foreigner.
Now, it was time to bear the risk.
