Chen Lan felt his vision go dark, and when he opened his eyes again, his body trembled suddenly, his gaze momentarily blank.

The scene before him was Blue Star. He stood on a street of Blue Star, surrounded by busy traffic, yet people were flying on swords in the sky—this was Huaxia after the game manifestation.

"The world has Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao, we are in danger. How great would it be if he wasn't here."

"Indeed, such a dangerous person, ranked number one on the leaderboard, hardly anyone can deal with him."

"It's terrifying, I wish he would leave Blue Star quickly and not stay here."

"So many Demon Beasts, why hasn't Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao come to save us yet? Is he really worthy of his terrifying power?"

"Why, despite such formidable power, doesn't Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao think of protecting us? He's not a Great Emperor at all!"

At this point, the cacophony of discussions entered Chen Lan's ears, making him pause his steps.

"Listen, it seems many people are afraid of your existence, some are jealous of you, afraid of you, believing that with such power, you should take on the responsibility of protecting the world. They are very disrespectful to you, even now many people mock you, show you no respect. You clearly have the power to destroy the world, why not just do it, kill everyone worldwide, so no one will disrespect you anymore."

A voice sounded behind Chen Lan, and a person identical to him flew over. This was Chen Lan's Heart Demon.

"Look, just look at these people's ugly faces. Clearly, you are the ruler of the world, on what grounds do they dare disrespect you? You could easily destroy the world and rule over all Blue Star, why bother to hide and conceal it?" The Heart Demon spread his hands, speaking with a cold laugh.

Chen Lan looked at him expressionlessly, then glanced at those false illusions, calmly saying: "Why would I want to do that?"

"For satisfaction, kill them all if they're disrespectful, indulge entirely, kill when displeased, anyway you're invincible to the world, who can best you? You are the Emperor, above thousands, below none—a true Emperor, indulge in slaughter, no law or morality can restrain you, burning, looting, intimidating good people to turn bad, that's what a strong person should do!"

"Whatever woman you want, you can have, you could even make all of humanity your slaves, anything you want could easily be at your fingertips, isn't there happiness in that? To control Blue Star, you would become the god of Blue Star, anyone who sees you must kneel and bow in submission, doesn't that sound satisfying?" The Heart Demon suddenly flew to Chen Lan's face, grinning.

Chen Lan smiled slightly, "I've never thought about any of that, the natural world has its own rules, and I just want to live my own life, walk my own path. If they're disrespectful, I kill them, but not everyone is disrespectful to me, why kill them all?"

"Moreover!" Chen Lan's expression gradually darkened: "If I recklessly kill the innocent, committing random acts of murder, how am I different from those in the Desolate Celestial Realm? Does having power mean must destroy the world, the Cosmos, how could it possibly be my turn to be born then?"

If a strong person must destroy the world and rule the Cosmos, then he wouldn't be born, Blue Star wouldn't exist, it would have long been destroyed by other strong entities.

Upon hearing this, the Heart Demon fell silent, and the next second, he actually started to spontaneously combust, turning into ashes and disappearing.

The surroundings gradually vanished, and then transformed into a setting unfamiliar to him, appearing to be not of the modern era, but ancient architecture, towering and immortal buildings.

Gradually, individual figures appeared, and when he saw these people, his body shook violently because he had seen them yesterday, just when he subdued the Thunder Dao Divine Lotus, those memories emerged!

The scene was identical to that picture, a boy who looked just like him was being suppressed on the ground, face full of resentment, while in the distance, a group of people watched expressionlessly, with several Taoist Saints standing in the sky, their auras incredibly terrifying.

"Look, this was the time when you were suppressed and about to be sent to the lower realms, do you remember, your parents didn't want you then, did you ever resent them?" The Heart Demon appeared again.

Chen Lan was silent, continuing to watch, feeling nothing towards this because he was Chen Lan, not Ye Lan.

"Ye Family, Ye Lan committed monstrous crimes, do you intend to protect him? If you protect him, you'd be at odds with our eight Holy Lands, today we'll destroy your Ye Family!" The same old Taoist Saint spoke.

Afterwards, Ye Lan's parents severed their relationship with him, and at this moment, the appearance of a little boy made Chen Lan's pupils contract slightly, his head splitting in pain, grabbing it fiercely, grimacing.

"Who is he, why do I feel immense resentment towards that boy, a desire to kill him immediately!"

"Him? You forgot? Your brother, Ye Lan, born with Divine Bone, possessing Great Divine Techniques, enough to become a Saint at a young age, but unfortunately encountered a congenitally defective brother with not much time left, soon to perish, your parents asked you to transplant your bone to your brother. But in the end, their love for the brother surpassed you, did you ever hate them?"

"No, I'm not Ye Lan, I'm Chen Lan, where would this hatred come from?" Chen Lan clutched his head, trying to speak calmly.

Must not be bewitched by the Heart Demon!

He didn't expect Ye Lan to have such a past, born with Divine Bone, inherently possessing Great Divine Techniques, could have become a Saint young with that Divine Bone and Great Divine Techniques, but no, the parents had a second child, the brother was about to perish from birth defects, missing a bone, otherwise, he would die.

Under the parents' plea, Ye Lan agreed to transplant his Divine Bone to his brother. Without the Divine Bone, his cultivation progressed slowly, yet he remained a young supreme.

Instead, the brother, aided by the Divine Bone, advanced rapidly in cultivation, shockingly awakened the Chaos Body. With the help of the Chaos Body, he far surpassed Ye Lan, not just a slight margin better than Ye Lan before.

In the end, parents favored the brother more, gradually overlooking Ye Lan, lacking family affection, Ye Lan vented his anger on those same-age prodigies, pressing the entire generation with overwhelming prowess, thereby offending the eight Holy Lands!

The Taoist Venerables and Taoist Saints of the eight Holy Lands jointly suppressed him!

Watching the illusion, Chen Lan involuntarily shed tears, but he clearly felt it was not him crying, it was Ye Lan, his former self crying.

"From today, Ye Lan's name will be removed from the Ye Family genealogy, from now on, he is no longer a member of the Ye Family, nor is he my son, Ye Tianhai."

Finally, the elder of the River of Time came to help, Ye Lan's master, Chen Qingfeng, the scene he saw earlier ended here abruptly.

Chen Qingfeng appeared, but his arrival could change nothing, he could only take hits passively, yet his steps remained incredibly resolute, even while seriously injured, he kept walking steadily toward Ye Lan!

"Disciple, don't be afraid, Master is here."

"Master, go, don't come any closer!"
