The Strongest in Human History: Heavenly Dao Emperor

In a courtyard within the Star Luo City imperial palace.

"Did something like this exist in Douluo?"

Staring at the light screen in the sky, Gu Tian shot up from his reclining chair, his face full of astonishment: "This butterfly effect is way too big!"

Others might not know what that sudden light screen in the heavens actually was.

But as a transmigrator, how could he not know?

That's right, a transmigrator.

He wasn't originally from this world. Six years ago, he crossed over here, becoming the child of a marquis in the Star Luo Empire.

That cheap father of his died three years after his birth in a small-scale war between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.

Not long after, his mother passed away from grief.

That same year, struck by the loss of both parents, Gu Tian awakened the memories of his past life.

Thus, Gu Tian also obtained one of the standard protagonist perks—both parents dead.

Fortunately, his family background in this life wasn't too bad, and he was even an orphan of a martyr.

Within the Star Luo Empire capital, no one dared to make trouble for him.

Aside from worrying about what martial soul he might awaken, life was pretty comfortable.

No 996 work schedule, no oppression from superiors, waking up naturally every day, doing whatever he wanted.

To be honest, when he first learned this was the strong-worshiping Douluo Continent, set in the Peerless Tang Sect era, Gu Tian was reluctant, but he quickly accepted reality.

No choice—he had to accept it, since he couldn't cross back.

However, lacking any cultivation techniques, Gu Tian had been slacking off until he awakened his martial soul.

Not long ago, he awakened his martial soul—and it was the Emperor Armor.

The ultimate armor born from the Primordial Universe!

The strongest armor of the Light Universe, the supreme ruler of the Light Realm.

The incarnation of the Heavenly Dao!

Knowing from some vague intuition that when his life was in danger, the Heavenly Dao would substitute for him, ensuring the safety of this Emperor Armor inheritor, Gu Tian completely gave up trying.

What could he do? He wasn't invincible, but he might as well be!

Gu Tian didn't believe anyone in this world could be a match for the Heavenly Dao Substitute.

Originally planning to coast through invincibly, Gu Tian felt an inexplicable panic when he saw the light screen suddenly appear in the sky.

A faint premonition told Gu Tian that thing up in the heavens was very likely related to him.

After all, compared to the original work, this world only had him as an extra—the inheritor of the Emperor Armor.

And the Emperor Armor had a very interesting alias: the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.

Otherwise, it couldn't be that another transmigrator had popped up, right!

Even if there was, Gu Tian wasn't afraid.

He was the man with the Emperor Armor.

Even if he was still a little kid right now.

"Boom—"

The 'Sky Curtain' above the heavens changed again.

A massive palace complex stretching for who knows how many thousands of li appeared in the image.

The complex had carved beams and painted pillars, exceptionally exquisite and luxurious.

"That's a Huaxia-style imperial palace!"

Gu Tian's eyes narrowed, staring intently at the light screen.

The scene shifted.

Around the palace, soldiers clad in black armor patrolled.

Each soldier exuded a terrifying aura; just looking at them made many people feel fear.

The scene swept quickly to the central main hall, resplendent in gold and jade.

On the plaque were clearly carved the two characters: Star Luo.

At this moment, Xu Jiawei and the nine Venerables were all dumbfounded.

Why did the Star Luo Hall appear in the sky curtain?

Could it be that those incredible palace complexes and countless powerful soldiers all belonged to their Star Luo Empire...

But the problem was, why didn't they, the rulers of the Star Luo Empire, know about this!

"Your Majesty, have you been hiding something from us?"

The straightforward Shattered Star Douluo directly questioned Xu Jiawei, the current emperor of Star Luo.

The other Venerables also glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Xu Jiawei, waiting for his answer.

"If the empire had the financial and military strength, do you think I would place my hopes on a little brat?"

At this, Xu Jiawei rolled his eyes in mild exasperation.

Just then, the scene within the Sky Curtain flickered.

A figure appeared in the image.

Looking over, one could see a young man of heroic bearing, clad in imperial robes, seated high upon a throne.

A line of text slowly emerged within the Sky Curtain.

It was an exceedingly exaggerated introduction.

[Now standing before you is—the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, the inheritor of the Emperor Armor, the strongest human in history, the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, the new Lord of Soul Beasts, the Restorer of the Star Luo Empire, the one who accomplished the feat of unifying the Douluo Continent and brought about peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts—the Heavenly Dao Emperor.]

Silence.

A deathly silence.

The entire Star Luo Empire, and even the whole Douluo Continent, had fallen into an eerie stillness.

The Restorer of the Star Luo Empire?

The nine Venerables immediately turned their gazes toward Xu Jiawei.

The current Star Luo Emperor was Xu Jiawei, meaning the person in the Sky Curtain was a future Star Luo Emperor—and not of the Xu bloodline.

What that signified was obvious without needing to be said!

"Your Majesty, the Sky Curtain should be showing that little fellow's future. It seems our choice was indeed correct; his achievements have even exceeded our expectations!"

Medicine Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Xu Jiawei. "I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

Hearing this, the other Venerables wore varied expressions but all chose to remain silent.

"Wang Lao, no need to test me. Imperial We will not do anything."

Xu Jiawei shook his head, letting out a faint sigh. "After all, he is the future of our Star Luo!"

Master of the Sea God Pavilion!

The new Lord of Soul Beasts!

The strongest human in history!

And he had accomplished the great undertaking of unifying the Douluo Continent, bringing about peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts!

For such a legendary figure to become the next emperor of the Star Luo Empire was an honor for their Star Luo.

And this was the sentiment shared by the vast majority of the Venerables present.

If anything, their loyalty was not so much to the Xu imperial clan as it was to the Star Luo Empire itself.

Since Gu Tian could restore the Star Luo Empire and unify the entire continent, then this man was without a doubt the object of their future allegiance.

"Your Majesty, do you truly have no reservations?"

Azure Luan Douluo fixed Xu Jiawei with a gaze that seemed to see through everything, issuing a soul-piercing question. "Even if an outsider seizes your Xu family's throne?"

"The succession of the empire's throne is not limited to inheritance by princes alone."

Xu Jiawei gave a light laugh, his words carrying a hidden meaning. "Not to mention that Imperial We currently has no offspring, nor will Imperial We have any in the future."

If Gu Tian married Xu Jiujiu, the child they bore would also carry the Xu bloodline.

And that child would have to be the subsequent heir to the Star Luo throne—that was Xu Jiawei's final bottom line.

To be fair, Xu Jiawei was also a ruthless man.

To this end, he could even promise that his own line would have no descendants.

Although Xu Jiawei did not say it outright, there was no fool present; they almost instantly understood the meaning behind his words.

"Your Majesty, you are wise!" Azure Luan Douluo cupped his hands in a salute.

This was not something just anyone had the resolve to do.
