Is this world real or false? Can immortals truly exist? Are the gods merely legends, or nothing more than distant fantasies? And where are the saints of legend? Everyone says they have heard of them, but has anyone truly seen them?
Immortals, please hear the suffering of all living beings. Send down your blessings and save us from our pain!
Great gods, can you hear your believers praying to you day and night? This broken world needs your grace to cleanse its battered body!
Holy saints, we need you to hear the world's grievances! Saints, can you hear us? Can you hear us?
Hahahahaha!
To hell with immortals! To hell with gods! To hell with saints! Since you refuse to save all under heaven,
then I, Zhentian, will do it. I will cleanse this ailing world inch by inch, and destroy every darkness hidden in the abyss.
Since darkness and corruption have taken control of all living beings, I will destroy the corrupted and restore this world to purity. I will bear every consequence myself, and shoulder all the hatred of the world's destruction!
Since the immortals, gods, and saints refuse to bear this burden, then there is no point in the path to immortality. It must be severed!
Since the gods refuse to shoulder it, then their faith has no reason to spread. It must perish!
Since the saints refuse to bear it, then their name must disappear!
Who am I? I am... I am... I am Emperor Zhentian. With the power of one emperor, I will save all living beings under heaven!
