When everyone heard the long-unheard voice, their tiger bodies trembled.

The Heavenly Emperor, who hadn't appeared for so many years, actually issued an edict of abdication at this moment.

Let Li Yan take over as the next Heavenly Emperor?

Everyone couldn't help but turn their gazes towards Li Yan.

Seeing the heavy burden suddenly thrown his way, and countless eyes fixed upon him, Li Yan said in front of everyone, "Me, be the Heavenly Emperor? Forget it."

When they heard Li Yan's straightforward rejection, the Purple Micro Star Lord, Xuan Yue War Marshal, and Youdu Houtu, the three Immortal Emperors, were all greatly astonished.

"Why do you refuse?"

"This is the Heavenly Emperor's sacred decree. Saint Li, you can inherit the Heavenly Emperor's will, and even the Heavenly Emperor's ultimate techniques."

"If Saint Li becomes the new Heavenly Emperor, I, Xuan Yue, will be completely convinced."

Li Yan knew that status was linked to responsibility, and he didn't want to bother managing this Old Heavenly Court with so much effort.

The reason he helped the Old Heavenly Court was for the benefits.

For him, he preferred to be unrestrained and look after himself.

If he became the Heavenly Emperor, he would have to deal with a lot of trivial matters every day, which would be equivalent to choosing to enter a cage himself.

Seeing Li Yan's firm attitude, unwilling to shoulder the heavy responsibility, The three Immortal Emperors looked at each other in dismay.

"What should we do?"

"The Heavenly Emperor fell asleep again after speaking, but he has already designated Saint Li as his successor."

At this time, the meticulous Youdu Houtu, this kind-faced female elder, after careful consideration, proposed, "Saint Li probably doesn't like being restrained. We can give him a promise."

"He doesn't need to worry about most of the trivial matters, even if he just lends his name."

"After all, his and our common enemy is White Jade Capital."

After listening to Youdu Houtu's proposal, they had no choice but to agree.

From Li Yan's various methods against Longevity Siming just now, everyone had been conquered.

Now, the only one who can unite the Old Heavenly Court is Saint Li.

With his current prestige, at his call, millions of immortals would turn into his sharp blades, striking wherever he pointed!

Xuan Yue War Marshal heavily placed his axe on the ground, his face stern.

"Everyone has seen Saint Li's prestige in the Abyss of the Netherworld. Immortals may not be convinced by each other, but no one dares to disobey Saint Li."

"Indeed, only by using Saint Li's name can we inspire the immortals." Purple Micro Star Lord echoed.

After the three Immortal Emperors discussed the specific matters, they once again extended an invitation to Li Yan.

The three of them privately communicated with Li Yan through voice transmission.

"Saint Li, even if you don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor in the future, can you agree to it first?"

"Now that the morale is high, we should seize the opportunity to revitalize the military's morale! And fight White Jade Capital to the end."

"As long as you inherit the Heavenly Emperor's legacy, you can also open the Heavenly Emperor's Armory!"

Hearing the three Immortal Emperors' repeated persuasion, and promising that Li Yan wouldn't have to worry about anything after it was done.

He only needed to be a nominal Heavenly Emperor, commanding the three major factions within the Old Heavenly Court.

These were the Star Constellation Immortals of Purple Micro Star Lord, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of Xuan Yue War Marshal, and the Youdu guards under the control of Houtu.

These three factions usually hardly convinced each other, and only the Heavenly Emperor could command all the immortals.

Now that Li Yan had been recognized by the Heavenly Emperor, as long as he moved his lips, he could unite all the immortals under his command.

Li Yan was thoughtful, and his heart was even more moved by the Heavenly Emperor's Armory.

His focus was all on this treasure.

"When can you take me to see that Heavenly Emperor's Armory?"

When Li Yan said these words, the three Immortal Emperors were silent.

Well.

This Saint Li really wasn't shy at all, simple and direct, just wanting the Heavenly Emperor's treasures.

But since he had been recognized as the next Heavenly Emperor, then these armories should also belong to Li Yan.

Xuan Yue War Marshal cupped his fist and said, "Saint Li, you have the right to open the Heavenly Emperor's Armory, but..."

"In the past, the Heavenly Emperor fought fiercely with White Jade Capital, and the armories were scattered all over the mortal realm."

"If you want to find these armories scattered in the mortal realm, I'm afraid..."

Li Yan, who had been full of enthusiasm, instantly had his passion doused when he heard that they still had to find the lost armory.

But just then, the voice of the Ancient Dragon King echoed from within the Coiled Dragon Pillar.

"The Abyss of the Netherworld is being separated from the Immortal Cultivation World."

The Ancient Dragon King's voice interrupted the discussion.

Everyone looked at the massive pillar standing before them, the Coiled Dragon Pillar, which housed the Ancient Dragon King's body and soul.

"What do you mean by that, Dragon King?"

Li Yan raised his head and looked at the pillar in front of him.

The Ancient Dragon King slowly opened his mouth with his weak voice.

"I was just supporting the Abyss of the Netherworld to prevent it from slipping into the Chaos Rift."

"I discovered that there are Fallen Dragons using my spatial secret methods to sever the Abyss of the Netherworld."

Simply put, there were Fallen Ancient Dragons outside casting spells.

They were separating the Abyss of the Netherworld from the Immortal Cultivation World. If the Fallen truly severed the connection between the Abyss of the Netherworld and the outside world...

Then, the secret realm of the Abyss of the Netherworld would likely be lost in the Chaos Void forever!

If the Abyss of the Netherworld was a grain of sand, and the Chaos Void was a vast ocean.

What the enemy was doing was throwing that grain of sand into the center of the ocean, so the probability of that grain of sand flowing back to the beach in the vast ocean was almost zero.

Once the Abyss of the Netherworld was cut off from the outside world, it would be like a grain of sand sinking into an abyss of ten thousand fathoms, never to find its home.

The three Immortal Emperors showed bleak smiles.

"White Jade Capital has too many tricks."

"They can't get in, and they don't want us to get out."

"They are forcing us to rush out and fight them to the death."

Now, there were only two paths in front of everyone.

Charge out of the Abyss of the Netherworld and explode against the ambush set by White Jade Capital.

Second, sit in the Abyss of the Netherworld and wait for death, waiting for the passage to the outside world to be cut off, and the Old Heavenly Court to be exiled into the Chaos Void.

Xuan Yue gripped the long handle of the ax in his hand, his veins bulging: "The injuries of all the brothers have recovered somewhat, why don't we rush out?"

"I, Xuan Yue, can only die in battle! I cannot be exiled and lost in the Chaos Void!"

Purple Micro Star Lord calculated with his fingers and sighed: "If we go, we will have no chance of survival, but I also agree with Xuan Yue's approach, let's rush out and fight."

"I don't want to be trapped again after tens of thousands of years of imprisonment."

"Li Sheng, please take the position of Heavenly Emperor and lead us to charge one more time!"

It is said that even a clay figure has some temper, and immortals also have blood.

Now they were being besieged and chased to this point, wouldn't they fight?

"Surrendering is also being caught to refine pills, what else do we have to say!"

"Li Sheng, please issue a decree in the name of the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Li Sheng, say something! To die or to fight!"

Amidst the stars surrounding the moon, Li Yan watched everyone's expressions without saying a word.

He also understood what the Immortal Cultivation World meant by endless struggle, it was either you die or I die.

There was no room for negotiation, White Jade Capital just wanted to force the Old Heavenly Court to a dead end.

Just as the pressure was on Li Yan, he suddenly proposed.

"Actually, I have a wonderful suggestion, and a way to avoid deaths."
