Divine Emperor Taiyi appeared twice in the Seventh Heaven of the Heavenly Realm, collapsing the ancestral lands of the Rakshasa Clan, Heavenly Human Clan, and Demon Race—three powerful clans—and nine Heavenly Emperors perished at his hand.
This great event shocked all cultivators in the Heavenly Realm once again.
At the same time, it left countless people feeling incredulous.
Could the Heavenly Venerate strike down a Divine Emperor, only for him to return from the dead? This seemed utterly impossible. However, some speculated that the real Divine Emperor Taiyi hadn't died, suggesting that perhaps it was merely one of his clones or a piece of the Heavenly Emperor's Power that acted.
Therefore, no matter how many times the Heavenly Venerate strikes, as long as the source isn't exterminated, Divine Emperor Taiyi will never truly vanish.
This theory of clones gained traction and convinced many, who felt it was highly likely.
