The reason Jun Xiaoyao opened up the quota to enter the World Core was mainly to set a trap for Emperor Sansheng and lure him out.
And now, the goal has been achieved.
Presumably, Emperor Sansheng can no longer hide behind the scenes in peace.
This is actually a good thing.
The most troublesome enemy is actually the one hiding in the shadows.
If they are brought out into the open, the threat is greatly reduced.
Of course, Jun Xiaoyao does not think Emperor Sansheng is an easy character to deal with.
His strength must definitely be at the top tier.
"Now, let's enter this place first."
Jun Xiaoyao turned to look at this ancient star gate.
The reason Emperor Sansheng wanted to enter this door was because he wanted to obtain the Innate Grandmist Origin within.
"The most ancient place of Origin in the Boundary Sea, I would like to see what secrets it holds."
Jun Xiaoyao mobilized his power and pushed open this ancient star gate.
Then, it went very smoothly, without any accidents.
Jun Xiaoyao pushed open the star gate.
The thick, inseparable power of Origin surged over like a tide.
Jun Xiaoyao stepped inside.
He seemed to have arrived in a bizarre and colorful world.
Looking around, infinite stars and heavens were all encompassed within it.
All-encompassing, transforming the Universe.
However, the most eye-catching thing here was the unimaginable tree that Jun Xiaoyao saw before him.
That's right, it was a tree!
But this tree was not an ordinary tree.
It was somewhat similar to the World Tree in Jun Xiaoyao's Inner Universe.
Vast and boundless, immense and endless.
Furthermore, it had no substantial trunk; it seemed to be formed by the convergence of endless light patterns and Laws.
The endless bifurcations of the light patterns were like the countless branches of a great tree.
Simply put, this was like a tree formed by light.
Compared to a substantial tree, it was more like a rune and totem of a tree.
Those endless branches extended toward the infinite worlds of the Boundary Sea.
What made Jun Xiaoyao marvel was that it seemed every world and every Universe in the Boundary Sea extended from this tree of light patterns.
At the end of every branch was a Universe of the Boundary Sea.
What surprised Jun Xiaoyao even more was that he discovered that large areas of the tree's branches had withered.
And those withered areas happened to correspond to the vast No Mans Land of the Boundary Sea!
In other words, those destroyed worlds and Universes of the Boundary Sea were also reflected on this tree.
More than half of this tree was bare.
In other words, the Black Calamity, to some extent, was equivalent to an insect plague that had eroded most of this great tree.
"Is this... the true Origin of the Boundary Sea and its endless Universes?"
Jun Xiaoyao looked at all of this.
Even with his vision, his heart could not help but surge with waves at this moment.
Could it be that he had witnessed the truth of the Boundary Sea?
Just as Jun Xiaoyao's heart was surging, suddenly, a faint, aged voice came.
"This tree is called the origin sacred tree, and it is the cornerstone of the Boundary Sea."
"Who?"
Are there other living beings in this place?
Jun Xiaoyao was stunned, then looked in the direction of the voice.
Then, he saw it.
On this origin sacred tree, a figure appeared.
It was a white-bearded old man, looking very simple, manifesting a figure that appeared very hazy.
Obviously, this old man was not a physical entity.
"Senior, you are..."
Jun Xiaoyao composed himself.
Although he did not understand the situation, it was clear that this old man who manifested from the origin sacred tree had an extraordinary background.
The old man heard this, and there was even a touch of kindness on his face.
He smiled slightly and said: "I have no name, but the world has a title for me: the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor."
"What?"
Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes shook.
This old man, who looked incomparably simple and even somewhat kind in appearance, was actually the legendary World-Creating Heavenly Emperor, one of the Three Emperors?
This simply did not match his impression.
In the eyes of the world, the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor must be that kind of majestic, domineering, and god-like supreme powerhouse.
Who could have imagined that it would be such an ordinary old man with a white beard?
"Senior Heavenly Emperor, you..."
Many questions surged in Jun Xiaoyao's heart.
Wasn't the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor plotted against by Emperor Sansheng during the ancient Black Calamity?
How could he leave an imprint of his figure on the origin sacred tree?
"I know you will have many questions, and I will tell you one by one."
"I have been waiting for someone, an existence capable of saving the Boundary Sea from the Black Calamity."
"Once, I thought I had found one, but in the end, I realized that it was a mistake."
The World-Creating Heavenly Emperor's words made Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flicker slightly.
If he guessed correctly, that so-called mistake should be Emperor Sansheng.
After all, the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor only took two Disciples: Emperor Sansheng and Empress Xihuang.
"And now, you have passed the test of the nine God-Sealing Steles and arrived here."
"I understand that perhaps in the end, the person who solves the Black Calamity can only be you."
The World-Creating Heavenly Emperor looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao understood instantly.
These nine God-Sealing Steles were actually set up by the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor!
"Senior, that is too serious. This Junior can only say I will try my best, but after all, my abilities are limited," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
He could not speak too confidently.
"You must be very curious about my background, right?" the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor said.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
"Actually, I am not human," the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor said.
"What?"
Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.
The World-Creating Heavenly Emperor is not human?
"I am the Incarnation of the origin sacred tree's will, or rather, the embodiment of the will of the Boundary Sea's great Universe."
"And the only purpose of my existence is to find a way to solve the Black Calamity."
The World-Creating Heavenly Emperor revealed his true identity.
It can be said that if this news were revealed, it would definitely cause a huge uproar throughout the entire Boundary Sea!
The World-Creating Heavenly Emperor, one of the Three Emperors, is not a real living being, but the embodiment of the origin sacred tree and the will of the Boundary Sea Universe!
Even Jun Xiaoyao, knowing this situation, felt very surprised and it was beyond his expectations.
But upon further thought, it seemed perfectly normal.
The Boundary Sea is eroded by the Black Calamity and will instinctively produce "antibodies" to fight against it.
And the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor is the will of the Boundary Sea to fight against the Black Calamity.
"My body is condensed from the most primitive Grandmist Origin within the origin sacred tree, so it is an Innate Primordial Dao Body," the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor said.
Jun Xiaoyao also understood; it was indeed rumored before that the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor possessed the Primordial Dao Body.
"Then, Emperor Sansheng..."
Jun Xiaoyao thought of Emperor Sansheng again.
The World-Creating Heavenly Emperor then said: "That's right, this Rebellious Disciple's Hongmeng Power was indeed plundered from me."
"I can tell you the beginning and end of all this."
The World-Creating Heavenly Emperor was very patient and told Jun Xiaoyao the whole story of everything that had happened in the past.
And after hearing it, Jun Xiaoyao understood everything.
He did not expect that things would be so winding and tortuous.
Those secrets buried behind ancient history finally surfaced.
