Chapter 1347: Ancestor Yang Ye
At the foot of the mountain, all the cultivators heading up stopped to kneel, regardless of their cultivation base. Of course, it wasn't because they wanted to kneel. They simply had no choice but to kneel.
In the Era of Emperors and the Ten Desolate Universe[1], there was an unspoken rule. One had to bow before the Supreme Emperor. Otherwise, who could bear the consequences of the Supreme Emperor's wrath?
Moreover, they had come here for an inheritance.
The Supreme Emperor's Inheritance!
Everyone understood that obtaining such an inheritance was an almost impossible feat. If one wanted to be chosen by a Supreme Emperor, one's talent had to be unimaginable.
However, humans were hopeful creatures. What if they ended up getting chosen?
On the path to the summit, the crowd's expressions were devout. Whenever they kowtowed, they would wish that they could smash a hole in the earth with their foreheads.
Ye Guan and Diyi You walked toward the foot of the mountain. Watching the group kneeling with such sincerity, Diyi You said, "A Supreme Emperor... countless cultivators all strive to become one. Even in death, the people of later generations dare not show any disrespect.
"Before a Supreme Emperor, one must bow."
Ye Guan replied, "People revere the strong. It's normal."
Diyi You smiled. "Brother Yang, will the Supreme Emperor choose any of them?"
