Chapter 2080: The Path to Godhood Reappears

The Black-scaled Horned Eagle’s words immediately reminded Chu Yunfan of the self-sealing technique recorded in the Alchemy Emperor’s memories. It could be said that it was a rather strange technique.
No one knew who invented it, but it had been extremely popular since ancient times.
Using a self-sealing technique could completely seal one’s life force, completely stopping the flow of time on their body. If they were only eighteen years old when they were sealed, then after countless years, they would still be the same age.
This was the best way for ancient experts to resist the passage of time. After all, even powerful existences like the emperors were helpless against time.
As long as they didn’t become a god, they would grow old and die of old age. However, the lifespan of emperor-level experts was extremely long, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The others could only speculate about the many things that had happened in the ancient era. They could only guess what had happened back then and what it looked like.
However, Chu Yunfan was able to learn many things that ordinary people had never heard of through the Alchemy Emperor’s memories.
It was extremely difficult for the heavens and earth to give birth to an emperor. There was no need to doubt that in all the years since Grand Xia was founded, there had never been a single person who had become an emperor.
Therefore, the empire’s current ruler could only call himself a king and not an emperor. Even a powerful king wouldn’t dare to call himself an emperor if he wasn’t on that level.
This was because an emperor wasn’t only a position, but also a level in terms of strength. If one were to forcefully claim its title without reaching the required stage and strength, it would only be a joke.
Every emperor who existed had once suppressed an era and was invincible.
However, in ancient times, there was a time when they stood side by side. In the end, when it came to the fight for Godhood, many emperors attacked each other, causing the world to collapse.
It could be said that it was them who joined forces to destroy the glorious ancient era.
However, the prehistoric books of the later generations could no longer clearly explain why these emperors could stand side by side. They were vague and unclear, and too much information had been lost in the lengthy turmoil.
Only Chu Yunfan knew that they relied on this self-sealing technique. Powerful emperors sealed themselves and waited for the time when they needed to be reborn.
Almost every generation of emperors would do this to seek some opportunities for eternal life. This led to many of them appearing simultaneously in the same era and fighting for the same opportunities.
Even until the final battle for Godhood, a long time ago, an emperor who was good at divination had made a prediction. He divined that a godhead would be born, and there would be a chance for them to prove their Dao and become a god.
Many emperors believed in that deduction and chose to seal themselves in various ways. They would only appear once in a while and travel the world before sealing themselves again.
Only after countless years of accumulation from prehistoric times did the world see the shocking scene of the emperors merging into one.
Even the emperors had no choice but to rely on such a method to extend their lifespans. This was in order to fight for the final opportunity to become a god, let alone ordinary people.
Therefore, after the initial shock, Chu Yunfan quickly accepted this matter.
Black-scaled Horned Eagle said, “According to the teleportation records of our past generations, when the Prodigy Battlefield opened in the past, less than 10,000 geniuses came. Usually, only a few thousand of them would appear! There has never been something like this, where more than 100,000 local and foreign geniuses are participating in the expedition. It’s a rare sight even in history!
“Why?” Chu Yunfan frowned.
These prodigies were just like those emperors in the past. After they sealed themselves, they delayed their aging. Usually, they would not break out of the seal under ordinary circumstances. Every time they did, they must have calculated that some opportunity would appear many years later, so they would break out at the right time.
This was because self-sealing was not a simple matter. It was not just a technique that could seal a person; it required a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures. It cost a huge price,
The stronger one was, the more treasures they needed to self-seal.
Therefore, only the most valued geniuses could receive such treatment and be sealed away to wait for a future opportunity.
On the other hand, ordinary geniuses simply didn’t have that chance.
Therefore, these self-sealed ones rarely broke out of their seals to obtain the opportunities they wanted.
This time, 100,000 geniuses had revived at the same time. What a shocking scene. If they all appeared in the outside world, it would probably cause a huge commotion. Who knew how many waves it would cause?
Even Grand Xia would be in a terrible state.
It was unknown how many of these people had survived since the recent or even ancient times. After all, the sects and factions that many of them belonged to had already been destroyed. It was unknown how many years had passed, but no one could control them anymore.
Moreover, these were the top geniuses in the past countless years. The cultivation techniques they practiced and the fortuitous encounters they obtained were all the strongest.
Almost all of them were geniuses at the top of the Prodigy List.
Once these people chose to break out of their seals, it wouldn’t take much time for them to grow to the point where they could shake the whole world.
Such a situation was not rare since ancient times!
In Grand Xia’s history, there were many top geniuses who seemed to have suddenly jumped out from the cracks of a rock. In a short time, they became influential figures around the world.
These people were often the ancient prodigies who had survived from the distant past.
These geniuses could be said to have caused Grand Xia to be extremely worried.
Every time they broke out of the seal, the price was very high. These people seemed to have discussed a plan beforehand where they would sing and then appear to avoid appearing simultaneously.
The world’s resources were limited. With so many geniuses awakening at the same time, the consumption would be extremely great. It would harm others but not benefit oneself.
This was also the reason why the Black-scaled Horned Eagle had said that there were usually not so many geniuses awakening at the same time.
Moreover, this was also why Chu Yunfan felt that this matter was unusual. He had entered the Prodigy Battlefield much later than ordinary people, so he didn’t see the prodigies raining down onto the battlefield. However, he could imagine how shocking it was.
There must be a reason why these geniuses, who usually did not meet each other, had all awakened.
The Black-scaled Horned Eagle glanced at Chu Yunfan and then carefully said, “Sir, I don’t know when it started, but a rumor has been spreading. It is said that in this life, the godhead will appear again.. The path to becoming a god will reappear!’
