“Your old subjects congratulate the late Emperor on breaking through to the Earth God realm.”
Another voice sounded, this time from behind the late Emperor.
The late Emperor turned to look.
He saw a group of Celestial Gods sitting around a table, their eyes all focused on the late Emperor.
As the late Emperor turned his head to look at them.
They cupped their hands in salute.
The aura on their bodies, although hidden, revealed a trace of power that made the late Emperor, who had broken through to the God-Demon realm, feel a sense of dread.
“Zhang Yuandi, Li Xianggong, you guys...”
The late Emperor subconsciously took a step back.
Around the round table were all old subjects from his reign.
However, the vast aura emanating from them made the late Emperor feel a sense of unfamiliarity.
“Your old subjects respectfully welcome the late Emperor's successful breakthrough to the Earth God realm.”
Before the late Emperor could inquire.
Another voice sounded from the south of the late Emperor.
He turned his head to look and saw the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Personnel, and the Minister of War, three Ancient Gods, sitting around a table, cupping their hands in salute towards him.
“Your Majesty, the late Emperor.”
This time, the voice came from underground, it was the Red Sand Cult Master.
“You... ”
“What is this?!”
The late Emperor opened his mouth, his eyes wide.
His chest rose and fell sharply.
A trace of incomprehension flashed in his eyes.
He didn't understand.
How could these people, whom he had once been extremely familiar with, become so powerful in just one year?
“Ba Tian, tell me, what exactly happened to the dynasty?”
The late Emperor took a deep breath, his gaze falling on the Minister of War.
However, Li Ba Tian's gaze was directed behind him.
Not only that, but everyone in the inn was also looking behind him.
The late Emperor's eyes narrowed.
“Disperse, everyone.”
A majestic voice slowly came from the north of the inn.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Everyone cupped their hands towards the late Emperor's back.
Their figures slowly disappeared.
The entire inn was so quiet that the late Emperor felt suffocated.
“Not going to turn around and take a look?”
That majestic voice echoed in his ears, the late Emperor swallowed his saliva, his body stiffly turning around.
The late Emperor's mind was greatly shaken.
“Third son.”
The late Emperor's mouth opened wide enough to swallow a nuclear bomb.
His eyes widened to the maximum, a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
To the north of the inn, Xuan Ming stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the late Emperor who was standing there in a daze. He wore an imperial crown on his head, its glow overflowing with brilliance. His imperial robes radiated a trace of Heavenly Dao radiance. At the moment of his appearance, it was as if the most noble existence in the world had descended. Space and time revolved around him.
“Are you surprised?”
Xuan Ming's expression was calm, his gaze withdrawing from the late Emperor, slowly walking towards the outside of the inn.
“Third son, no, child, what exactly is going on?” The late Emperor gasped for breath, following behind.
At the moment of Xuan Ming's appearance.
How could he not understand everything he had seen before.
Everything might be related to Xuan Ming.
“What's going on?” A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in Xuan Ming's eyes.
His footsteps didn't stop, walking out of the inn.
One step, one world. The surrounding wind and clouds changed, Gods and Demons stood in great numbers. There were monstrous beasts raising their heads and roaring in fury, there were thousands of Gods and Demons fighting fiercely, there was blood rain pouring down, as if the strongest had fallen. However, every world had one thing in common, and that was the God-Demon army of the Divine Xuan Dynasty standing tall, stern and murderous. Wherever they passed, all Gods bowed their heads.
This was the grand scene of the Heavenly Void Realm.
The late Emperor followed behind him, his eyes filled with extreme horror.
He had never seen these things before.
He could feel that every God and Demon appearing here was extremely terrifying, far stronger than him by ten thousand times.
However, he could also feel that the scene they were seeing was created single-handedly by the man in the imperial robes in front of him.
“In fact, everything is just a play!”
Xuan Ming slowly spoke.
“A play?” The late Emperor was somewhat bewildered.
“That's right.”
“Do you think that the Divine Xuan Dynasty could reach this level in just one short year?” Xuan Ming's footsteps slowly stopped, he turned around, looking at the late Emperor.
“Impossible!” The late Emperor deeply agreed.
He had cultivated his way here, so he naturally knew the difficulty of cultivation.
If the dynasty produced a God-Demon in one year, even if he thought it was absurd, he would think it was possible.
But now!
It wasn't just one God-Demon!
But an entire dynasty, ninety-nine percent of whom were God-Demons!
And among them, there were also Celestial Gods and Ancient Gods!
How could so many God-Demon existences be born in one year?
Early on, the late Emperor had fallen into suspicion.
Now, Xuan Ming spoke, and he could finally be sure.
The Divine Xuan Dynasty had such a foundation, it was definitely not the work of one year.
“Yes.” Xuan Ming slowly nodded.
“In fact, back then, the entire dynasty, except for you and some people in remote areas, basically everyone had reached the God-Demon realm. You served as the Emperor, seemingly ruling the world, but in reality, everyone was hiding it from you, acting out a play.”
Xuan Ming's words struck the late Emperor like a thunderbolt.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
“It's impossible for a play to be acted so realistically! I myself am also at the peak of the Saint realm, if it were really like that, how could I not feel it!” The late Emperor was greatly shaken, subconsciously shaking his head.
“Oh? Are you sure!”
“If a God-Demon hides their cultivation in front of you, deliberately concealing themselves, do you think you can detect it?” Xuan Ming stood with his hands behind his back, slowly speaking.
The late Emperor opened his mouth, wanting to refute.
But he couldn't find a way to start.
He had already broken through to the God-Demon realm, even the most ordinary God-Demon had a qualitative difference from the Saint realm.
If what Xuan Ming said was true, those palace maids, those ministers, those common people, each and every one of them were God-Demons, deliberately pretending and acting in front of him, then...
The late Emperor seemed to have thought of something.
His body trembled uncontrollably.
“Then what about A'Fu?” The late Emperor murmured, asking.
“A'Fu? He is also a God-Demon!” Xuan Ming pondered slightly, waving his hand, and the surrounding scene changed, they appeared in a prison.
In the prison, a group of God-Demons were imprisoned.
Among them, A'Fu was talking excitedly with Bing Tianlong about something.
Suddenly, a trace of God-Demon aura rose from his body.
“This is, I've broken through to the God-Demon realm?” In the prison, A'Fu suddenly felt the God-Demon laws in his body surging, and was immediately horrified.
You should know that he had only barely broken through to the Saint realm before, far from the God-Demon realm.
But now, for some unknown reason, he suddenly broke through to the God-Demon realm.
After his shock, he was extremely excited.
So he talked about this matter with Bing Tianlong next to him.
“You son of a bitch!”
However, he hadn't even finished speaking.
He only heard someone scolding him in the void.
In the next moment, a powerful force struck his right face, directly slapping him away, spinning a full three hundred and sixty degrees in the air before landing, his head buzzing.
Beside Xuan Ming, the late Emperor stared at A'Fu!
