Super Invincible Immortal Doctor

On the boundless lake, Su Chengyu stood alone in the center. Above him were countless overlapping reflections of himself, and below, the same sight mirrored.

In this peculiar space, Su Chengyu couldn't sense spiritual power, couldn't hear any sound, couldn't feel any touch. Except for his vision, Su Chengyu almost couldn't perceive his own existence.

Who? Who brought me here?

Su Chengyu tried to speak, but in this space, no sound came out. The strange feedback made Su Chengyu doubt his own existence once again.

Just as Su Chengyu began to sense confusion, with chaotic thoughts in his mind, a Five-Color Divine Light burst forth from Su Chengyu's Sea of Consciousness. Enveloped by the divine light of the Heaven-Mending Stone, Su Chengyu miraculously regained his perception of the world.

"I never expected the Heaven-Mending Stone would end up in your hands."

A genderless, ethereal voice echoed from nowhere. Su Chengyu cautiously looked around, attempting to find the source of the voice, but to no avail.

"No need to search. I am the world itself. Since you've chosen the forbidden path, you should know by now that the world's composition itself is the embodiment of rules. And as a Supreme Immortal Emperor, one can easily construct a world of their own rules."

"Are you truly an Immortal Emperor?"

"Hehe, besides those of us who hold the God Position, who else could leave a projection of consciousness in this place?"

Su Chengyu was shocked in his heart: "Does every path have it? One or several?"

"There's no need for you to know."

Su Chengyu's eyebrows raised. The dismissive attitude of the voice irked him. He took a deep breath and asked again.

"Allow me to boldly ask, are you Empress Nuwa?"

"What if I am, and what if I am not?"

Su Chengyu took a deep breath. He already harbored a suspicion about the voice's identity.

"Regardless of whether you are or not, I want to hear the answer directly from your mouth."

"Speak."

"Did Empress Nuwa personally cast down the Heaven-Mending Stone?"

"Yes."

"And the Four Great Divine Beasts?"

"No."

"And what about Empress Nuwa's intention to preserve a chance of survival for us..."

"Yes."

Su Chengyu paused. All these questions did not surprise him, indicating that everything he had known before was not wrong.

The Supreme Immortal Emperors have countless pieces in play, and Empress Nuwa stands on the side wanting to protect them.

And next, Su Chengyu knew his question would be somewhat blasphemous, but he still wanted to fully understand what was going on.

"Then... the Demonic Path, was it created by Empress Nuwa?"

Silence suddenly filled the space.

The Immortal Emperor, who had been responding swiftly to Su Chengyu's questions, fell completely silent, as if disappearing entirely from this space.

"Human, if I am indeed Empress Nuwa, do you know what you are asking?"

Su Chengyu suppressed his unease and responded, "I know. I am questioning whether Empress Nuwa, who personally created humanity, fabricated another race to attempt to replace humanity."

"Since you understand, do you still dare to question me?"

Su Chengyu's expression remained calm as he looked forward, "The lifespan of an Immortal Emperor might be eternal, but all humans must die. A human life lasts only a few hundred to a thousand years; even becoming an immortal grants but millennia. Long or short, on the path of life, if one does not seek thorough understanding, how is one different from the dead?"

"Even a ferocious tiger won't harm its cubs."

"That's provided the other is a tiger and humans are the cubs."

Su Chengyu pointed out the flaw in the ambiguous answers.

The ethereal voice sighed deeply in the next moment.

"The person meant to come here should not have been you. If it were that woman, she would never have asked this question."

"Aunt Ye?"

"Yes."

Su Chengyu quietly said, "Are the Supreme Immortal Emperors watching everything in this realm like a show?"

"Not entirely, but the direction is something each of us can sense. We know the existence of several key individuals."

Su Chengyu chuckled, "Being observed like this by the Supreme Immortal Emperors—this might be the highlight of my life?"

"Who knows, as your path hasn't yet reached its end."

"Do you know Fu Xi, child?"

Su Chengyu nodded.

Fu Xi is a mythical figure of the Xia Country, and now Su Chengyu suspected the name's owner was also a Supreme Immortal Emperor.

"He once was a Supreme Immortal Emperor, one who no longer holds that position. His successor is me, as you suspect, Nuwa."

Su Chengyu was shocked, but not because of the latter, but the former.

"A Supreme Immortal Emperor should be as eternal as the sun and moon, immortal and indestructible, right?"

"In theory, yes. As long as the seven fundamental laws of Heavenly Dao remain unchanged, the Supreme Immortal Emperor who holds the position will not fall. But Fu Xi left his position voluntarily."

"Why?"

"Like you, he walked a path deemed forbidden, even by the Supreme Immortal Emperors. Ultimately, he died, but I brought his body to this place."

Su Chengyu gasped, a bold hypothesis forming in his mind: "The uniqueness of humanity, is it because you added something from Fu Xi, the Immortal Emperor, when creating us?"

"Yes. You are my most outstanding creation, the fundamental cornerstone for my advancement to Immortal Emperor. That's also the reason I seek to protect you, as you know. But Fu Xi's bloodline makes you too special, special enough to worry other Supreme Immortal Emperors that you might grow to become another Fu Xi, an anomaly."

"So, we must die?"

"I tried to protect you, but this is the result."

"And then?"

Su Chengyu calmly redirected the conversation back to its origin.

After another dead silence, Empress Nuwa finally spoke.

"As you suspect, I used a nearly identical method to create the Demonic Path. I went through great efforts to plant the seeds of the Demonic Path in this realm. But even a century ago, in that long-planned war of the Demonic Path, I still failed."

Su Chengyu's voice trembled, still reluctant to believe, "So, the Demonic Path's plan to replace us was orchestrated by your hand?"

"I cannot fall, and those of you with Fu Xi's bloodline shouldn't exist in the outer realms."

"Ha, it's absurd! Even if you created us, can you truly decide life and death for us at will?"

"It's not about can, but that I am capable."
