"What should we do now...?"
Chonglou Saint King was filled with vexation, his thoughts in turmoil.
For him:
If we remain inactive, our only fate will be death.
Ascension Heavenly King Luo Linxian is dead, he doesn't believe he can stand against the Heavenly Emperor Chen and the " Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron " in his hands just by relying on the " Qianyuan Spirit-Illuminating Mirror ".
The only solution at present is to unite with the other rebel kings, mainly the " Raging Sea Dragon King " and the " Great Azure Realm King ".
The problem is that he also has deep conflicts with these two families, especially with the " Raging Sea Dragon King," who is an old nemesis.
"No, we can't hesitate now!"
"If we're even a step too late now, we'll be handing that old bastard Heavenly Emperor Chen, his chance..."
Chonglou Saint King was no ordinary person after all; with a determined effort, he quickly made a decision.
But just as he was about to give the order:
"Um?"
His eyes became slightly glazed, and his consciousness drifted into a daze.
When she opened her eyes again, the look in them was completely different, as if she were a different person.
" Nine Realms... Chonglou Saint King..."
Emperor Huan Liang Jingtiao frowned slightly, thinking to herself:
"It turns out that beyond this fog lies a completely new world."
"I even became one of the twelve rebel kings, wielding the ' Qianyuan Spirit-Illuminating Mirror ', one of the Five Great Divine Artifacts... Wait a minute!"
She carefully recalled the memories in her mind, and her expression gradually changed:
" The Heavenly Emperor Chen?"
"A frail, Half-Step Heavenly Lord actually managed to kill a peerless overlord with three punches?"
"Isn't this a joke?"
Something immediately came to mind:
"It must be the Great Emperor Wanjie Chen Qingyu!"
"He reached the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda before all of us, several days ahead of us!"
"I've obtained the identity of ' Chonglou Saint King,' so what about him? He's very likely the one who replaced ' Heavenly Emperor Chen '!"
"A few days ago... the timing just matches up!"
Upon thinking of this, Emperor Huan Liang Jingtiao's expression became extremely solemn.
She was now almost 100% certain:
The " Heavenly Emperor Chen " of today has long been replaced by the real Great Emperor Wanjie.
Only in this way can we explain how an old and frail Heavenly Emperor could possess invincible power that dominated the Nine Realms.
It can be said that:
Currently, no one in the entire Nine Realms knows better than these Half-Step Heavenly Lord from the outside world just how strong the " Heavenly Emperor Chen " truly is.
"We must unite immediately with the other rebel kings."
"By the way, he also killed ' Ascension Heavenly King '... It shouldn't be ' Great Emperor Wanxing,' could it be that old guy ' Great Emperor Dongxu '?"
Emperor Huan Liang Jingtiao couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
In fact:
During the ascent of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, the Great Emperor Dongxu and the Great Emperor Wanxing were in the second echelon after Chen Qingyu, and they were also the first among them to reach the top of the tower.
She was lucky; she entered the fog before her companions.
Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have obtained the title of " Chonglou Saint King," but would have become an ordinary rebel king, without wielding a divine artifact, and would have had no power to resist.
"No, that can't be it!"
Emperor Huan Liang Jingtiao regained her composure and began to carefully consider her options:
"Based on the timing of the intelligence transmission, the battle at the Heavenly King's Palace in the Ascension Realm occurred more than a day ago."
" The Great Emperor Dongxu and the Great Emperor Wanxing are only a few hours ahead of us, far from a full day ahead."
"In other words... those two are now most likely transformed into the ' Raging Sea Dragon King ' and the ' Great Azure Realm King '."
Thinking of this, Emperor Huan Liang Jingtiao frowned.
The Great Emperor Dongxu is alright, after all, he's one of the Earthly Branch Alliance's own people and knows Chen Qingyu's threat all too well, so he'll definitely join forces with her.
The question is, would the Great Emperor Wanxing be willing to join forces with them to fight against his junior brother?
"This..."
Emperor Huan Liang Jingtiao couldn't help but hesitate.
Who exactly is the " Raging Sea Dragon King " she's battling on the other side?
Whether or not to risk sending the message became a dilemma for her.
And at that moment:
"Report!"
A general clad in black armor strode into the central command tent and knelt on one knee.
"Reporting to the Saint King!"
"The ' Raging Sea Dragon King ' has dispatched someone to deliver a message to you through clandestine channels."
"Oh?"
The Emperor Huan's heart stirred, but he showed no sign of surprise and said calmly:
"Bring it here."
"Promise!"
The black-armored general stepped forward and presented a white jade slip to the table.
Emperor Huan glanced at him and waved his hand:
"Step down."
"Yes!"
The black-armored general stood up, bowed, and then strode away from the military tent.
After he left:
Emperor Huan Liang Jingtiao then withdrew her gaze and murmured:
"What an amazing power..."
"Their memories have all been altered; they have no idea that ' Chonglou Saint King ' has become me... No, wait!"
"It should be said that in their memory and understanding, ' Chonglou Saint King ' has always been me."
Liang Jingtiao took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind, looked at the white jade slip in front of her, and probed it with her divine sense.
soon:
A smile appeared on her face:
"So, the Great Emperor Dongxu has become the ' Raging Sea Dragon King,' that's wonderful!"
"As long as we unite with him first and borrow the power of the two divine artifacts, it won't be difficult to temporarily hold off Chen Qingyu."
"We'll find another opportunity to talk to the ' Great Emperor Wanxing ' then... I refuse to believe he'd give up such a tremendous opportunity for his junior brother."
In the Ascension Realm.
"Boom..."
Somewhere on the border, the " Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron " and the " Supreme Mystic Yellow Flag " stand suspended in mid-air.
The torrent of spatial power and primordial energy continued to relentlessly assault the boundary barrier before them.
But just then:
"Um?"
Chen Qingyu frowned and suddenly stopped what he was doing.
He seemed to sense something strange appearing out of thin air inside the two divine artifacts.
"This is..."
The feedback from his divine sense startled him slightly.
Deep inside the " Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron " and the " Supreme Mystic Yellow Flag," a small wisp of golden mist appeared.
Although the golden mist was thin, it exuded an aura that surpassed all things in heaven and earth, seemingly transcending the power of the Heavenly Lord within the two divine artifacts and existing independently.
"Could it be that..."
Chen Qingyu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a guess:
"Is this the 'gift'?"
"These two wisps of golden mist look so thin, perhaps because... they are not a single entity?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath:
"It seems my earlier prediction was correct."
"These Five Great Divine Artifacts are the supreme source of the entire Nine Realms, and are most likely related to 'blessing'."
"The mystery has now been revealed... Whoever can collect Five Great Divine Artifacts will receive a blessing."
"The entire Nine Realms are our battlefield!"
