The string of offers tempted the Feathered Emperor. After all, he knew these Forbidden Zone Supremes had once been mighty Ancient Emperors. Each had dominated an era, so whatever they offered was bound to be precious.
After weighing it over, the Feathered Emperor gave a slight nod. "All right. Leave this to me."
He wanted news of Emperor Zun himself, so agreeing suited his purposes.
The Feathered Emperor had been tending his wounds, but now he cast a secret art to conceal his aura. With a single step, he took on the appearance of a young man and appeared in God City.
Disguised as a young man, he suppressed his aura until he seemed to be only at the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, then hurried to the Heaven's Pride Banquet.
He soon spotted the banquet palace. Outside, the gathered prodigies were still struggling desperately against the restriction he had placed.
The Feathered Emperor knew that although he had laid down the restriction casually, breaking through it would be no easy feat.
He even saw Zi Shou, his favorite son, reach its deepest layer, only to be hurled back, coughing blood.
The sight pained him, though he was also impressed that the young man had made it so far.
But the Feathered Emperor had not forgotten why he had come. He stepped forward lightly. "Break!"
At his word, a secret art shattered the arm formed by the restriction.
The resulting blast swept outward, and the Feathered Emperor used the commotion to stumble his way into the Heaven's Pride Banquet.
Someone had passed through the Emperor's Restriction and entered the banquet—and he was human! The onlookers outside erupted in cheers.
"Another human! Another pride of our Human Race!"
"Haha! Three of the people who got in are from our Human Race now!"
