Atop Emperor Mountain.
Bai Hongyu and Wang Quan were the first to become Emperors.
But becoming an Emperor first did not make one the strongest.
Qin Tianchen, for instance, had yet to become an Emperor, but he was steadily accumulating Emperor Qi, intending to condense high-grade Emperor Essence in one fell swoop!
