The powerful beings of Heaven-Swallowing Star all possess the bloodline of the Ancient Heaven-Swallowing Python, making them bloodline-type powerhouses.
Their powerful bloodline allowed them to occupy a territory.
It is said that they are descendants of the Ancient Heaven-Swallowing Python, and their bloodline was not acquired through theft or refinement, but was innate.
However, this pure bloodline no longer exists, so all the powerful beings of Heaven-Swallowing Star are half-demons.
Unlike the Demon Race race, they are positioned in between, giving them a unique feel that is intriguing and makes one want to explore further.
The snake woman at the head of the group was extremely alluring, with a captivating face and eye color, and an even more mesmerizing figure. Beneath her charming and seductive demeanor lay an aura of dominance.
She was the Heaven-Swallowing God Emperor, the Queen of Heaven-Swallowing Star.
Upon hearing that the Heaven-Burning God Emperor and the powerful figures of the Heaven-Burning Realm had all departed, her expression turned subtly sharp.
"Your Majesty, with the Heaven-Burning Realm withdrawing, what should we do..." The elder beside him said dejectedly.
Because they had a grudge against the Heaven-Burning Realm, this was originally just to 'settle personal scores'.
They wanted to give the Heaven-Burning Realm a hard time, but everyone had already run away. They were really puzzled.
The Queen Swallowing Heaven's expression became unpredictable, her eyes becoming deep and unfathomable.
"It's alright. There must have been some unexpected event that caused the Heaven-Burning Realm to retreat. We'll just wait for our opportunity..."
She hadn't expected that those people from the Heaven-Burning Realm would suddenly leave.
The reason is unknown.
Next time, definitely next time!
The other powerful figures, upon hearing this, could only give up. There was nothing they could do, but after preparing for so long, being suddenly told that their preparations had been in vain was still somewhat disheartening.
"Then, Queen, are we still going to participate in the Star Hegemony?" another elder asked.
Since the goal was not achieved, it seems unnecessary.
"No need." The Queen Swallowing Heaven was extremely decisive. Things didn't go as planned, but she couldn't waste any more time.
Now that they have a grudge against the Heaven-Burning Realm, if something unexpected happens during the Star Hegemony, it would weaken the power of Heaven-Swallowing Star.
It's not worth the risk.
Upon hearing this, the many powerful figures remained silent, clearly understanding the underlying principle.
It was at this time that a member of the tribe arrived.
"Your Majesty, the Heaven-Burning God Emperor has fallen, and the Heaven-Burning Realm is in chaos!"
The man's voice was also trembling with disbelief and immense joy. If he hadn't been addressed to the Queen, he would have surely danced in celebration.
Everyone: "..."
It was as if a bombshell had been dropped into the silence.
What?
"Is this true?" Even the Queen Swallowing Heaven was taken aback.
So, the retreat of the Heaven-Burning Realm was due to an accident involving the Heaven-Burning God Emperor?
It has already fallen...
"Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you! I have already gone to the Heaven-Burning Realm and confirmed it; the Heaven-Burning God Emperor has indeed perished, and the entire Heaven-Burning Realm is in chaos..."
This wasn't exactly a secret, it just hadn't spread. Besides, those on Heaven-Swallowing Star were constantly monitoring the movements of the Heaven-Burning Realm, so they would have known eventually. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come so readily this time.
Upon hearing the definite answer, all the powerful figures became ecstatic. Their previous bewilderment vanished, and their mood instantly brightened, replaced by beaming smiles.
It's true! The Heaven-Burning God Emperor has actually kicked the bucket!
No wonder those people from the Heaven-Burning Realm suddenly ran away; now I understand.
For the Heaven-Swallowing Star, this was absolutely a cause for celebration that deserved a three-day, three-night feast!
It's so convenient and saves time, it's a huge and unexpected surprise!
I was overwhelmed by happiness.
The Queen Swallowing Heaven fell silent. Had happiness come so suddenly?
He was, after all, a God Emperor, and those who could pose a threat to him were few and far between. How could he have suddenly perished?
She wasn't blinded by happiness, and calmly asked, "Do you know why?"
Could it be a trap? Maintaining composure is always the wise choice. She is the queen, responsible for the entire Heaven-Swallowing Python race. She cannot afford to be careless, or they risk an abyss, utter destruction, and the decline of their race...
Upon hearing this, the other powerful figures' expressions tightened, and they became serious, not daring to be careless. Clearly, they also understood this principle.
They all turned to look.
The powerful figure. "..."
If the Queen were to ask that question...
"Your Majesty, I am unaware of the reason."
They were so busy sharing the good news that they didn't care about that kind of thing. Who cares?
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
An elder spoke up, "Your Majesty, this matter is unlikely to be false; we simply don't know the reason behind it."
Who knows what terrifying being the Heaven-Burning God Emperor might have provoked?
If they could make the Heaven-Burning God Emperor perish, they could definitely crush their Queen. But not knowing the reason, I just feel uncertain.
The Queen Swallowing Heaven did not deny it, a glint of light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
It's unlikely to be a trap; she's just being overly cautious. After all, why would the Heaven-Burning God Emperor go to such lengths to put on a show for them when he has nothing better to do?
Moreover, the Heaven-Burning God Emperor has never taken their Heaven-Swallowing Star seriously.
They only see their bloodline as ingredients for making elixirs, those lowly half-demons! Over the years, they've secretly captured countless members of their clan!
Due to its half-demon bloodline, it was no match for the overwhelming power of pure humans. After all, Heaven-Swallowing Star had few allies, while Heaven-Burning Realm had many allied stars, making it vulnerable to being besieged.
That's why they're trying to take them down in the Star Hegemony as well!
It's fair to say this is an irreconcilable feud! It's just too regrettable that I can't avenge it in person.
Regardless, the mysterious demise of the Heaven-Burning God Emperor is a great thing for them, as they can settle scores with him later!
Conversely, anyone capable of causing the Heaven-Burning God Emperor's demise must be extremely terrifying; she certainly wouldn't be a match for them...
Thinking of this, the Queen Swallowing Heaven suddenly felt a jolt.
"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on the Eternal Realm Lord...?"
wrong.
The recent Black Gold Bounty Order and the matter of the Eternal Realm Lord have also attracted much attention. Not to mention that powerful figures from the Eternal Realm have come to participate in the Star Hegemony.
However, due to the presence of that person in the Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm, ordinary people simply keep their distance.
Otherwise, if gods fight, innocent bystanders will suffer the consequences, and there will be nowhere to cry.
Now, the Heaven-Burning God Emperor has suddenly fallen... Could it be that he was caught in the crossfire of a battle between gods?
The profit, naturally, is the Black Gold Bounty Order.
She could guess that this was the situation.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent once more.
"Although the Eternal Realm Lord has a grudge against the Star Domain Walkers, he is also protected by the Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm, and ordinary forces cannot interfere..."
Then, his spirits lifted, "Your Majesty, we must not provoke you!"
He tried his best to persuade them.
Even the Heaven-Burning God Emperor had been a battle of wits and courage for them for so many years, although the Heaven-Burning God Emperor unexpectedly kicked the bucket...
But Your Majesty, please don't get involved in such a battle of gods just for a little bit of resources to break through your cultivation level.
This is tantamount to driving Heaven-Swallowing Star to the brink of destruction!
Not to mention, now that the Lord of the Firmament has been beaten to death, he was many times more powerful than the Heaven-Burning God Emperor!
The thought alone is terrifying and leaves one feeling powerless.
Queen Swallowing Heaven: "..."
You're overthinking it. With the Heaven-Burning God Emperor dead, she won't do anything reckless.
Because she also has her own race's destiny, and her own mission: to find her lost master...
This was what the Ancient Heaven-Swallowing Python told her after she awakened her Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline nine times.
However, she was trying to resolve the cause and effect, to distance herself from the matter. What does the master of the Ancient Heaven-Swallowing Python have to do with me, a mere descendant?
They are no longer pure Ancient Heaven-Swallowing Python, but half-demons. How could they possibly recognize a master! Even if they are looked down upon by both humans and demons, even if they perish, it is absolutely, positively impossible for them to recognize a master!
Her red lips parted slightly, "I am naturally aware of this. However, I wonder if it was because of this Eternal Realm Lord that the Heaven-Burning God Emperor perished..."
