White Emperor!
At the sound of those two words, Qiu Yan's heart trembled, and an immense, indescribable pressure of terror instantly descended upon it!
Yet this pressure was not real, nor did it have any source. It was purely the power of the laws of heaven and earth, born from Karma and the weight carried by a name!
Though turmoil churned within him like rivers and seas overturning, Qiu Yan remained outwardly unfazed. Instead, he suppressed his emotions and said, "You appear to be alone, sir. How can you call yourself an emperor?"
The title of emperor could not be invoked lightly. Even in Qiu Yan's previous life, anyone who rashly proclaimed himself emperor—even if it was merely a farce—would stir up a storm and leave his name in history. How much more so in this world of Great Rui, where Divine Abilities manifested openly?
In this world, the name of emperor bore immense Karma. Without sufficient power, without gathering enough followers, one could not possess enough Fortune to bear it. To proclaim oneself emperor rashly would only bring harm upon oneself.
But the man in white before him was clearly a different case. Hearing Qiu Yan's question, he shook his head and smiled. "Do not try to draw me out with such words. There is nothing I cannot tell others. I can tell you all of it. This White Emperor of mine is not an emperor of the mortal world, but one of the Five Directional Heavenly Emperors. One-third of the Divine Path within the starry sky falls under the Heavenly Court's command, and quite a lot of it is assigned under my name."
"The Five Directional Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court!"
Qiu Yan's eyelids twitched. He had not expected the man before him to reveal such information
