Chapter 1430: The Human Race No Longer Has a Human Emperor
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a courtyard overseas, moonlight shone down.
Mr. Tao sat by the lake and brewed some tea.
His sturdy body exuded a faint scholarly aura, which was peculiar.
Few people would think that a scholar could be like this.
Even Tang Ya, who had been following him as his bodyguard, felt strange.
She had a habit of being straightforward, so she spoke her mind. “Mr. Tao, why don’t you lose some weight?”
...Mr. Tao chuckled but did not say anything more.
“A slim Mr. Tao would look refined and elegant. Even Zhu Shen would praise that,” said Tang Ya.
“Have you seen me look like that before?” Mr. Tao asked curiously.
When he brought Zhu Shen and Tang Ya back, he was already like this.
“Zhu Shen said that he has, but I haven’t.” Tang Ya said seriously.
Mr. Tao smiled. “A person’s appearance isn’t unchanging. It’s a process of growth.”
“The process of growth?” Tang Ya was confused.
“Yes, and that process is called life. It has its ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and all its flavors,” said Mr. Tao.
Tang Ya had some questions.
Just as she was about to ask them, a figure suddenly walked in from outside.
The divine light of the power technique was restrained, but it made people instinctively look over.
It seemed to carry a righteous spirit.
“Mr. Tao, you summoned me?” Zhu Shen greeted him respectfully.
Mr. Tao invited him to sit and have tea.
Zhu Shen did not refuse.
As soon as he sat down, he asked what Tang Ya and Mr. Tao had been discussing.
“Mr. Tao said that his transformation from thin to fat is a part of life’s growth, encompassing all its flavors,” Tang Ya said.
Zhu Shen smiled. “When Mr. Tao brought us back, he was already famous overseas. Though our childhood was hard, we have not suffered since meeting Mr. Tao, so it’s natural we don’t fully understand this life’s concept.”
“It’s still difficult,” Tang Ya said. “He makes me stay up late studying, but I know this hardship is a dream come true for others.”
At this moment, Tang Ya slumped on the table. There was a special gleam in her eyes.
“It seems there’s an opportunity,” Mr. Tao said with a smile.
“Yes, a rare one…” Zhu Shen observed carefully.
“What opportunity?” Tang Ya asked curiously.
The two of them smiled without saying a word.
Tang Ya did not ask further. She hated riddles.
“Get ready. We’re going out,” Mr. Tao said suddenly.
“Going out?” Zhu Shen was curious.
“Yes, I’m going to meet the Dragon Clan,” Mr. Tao said seriously.
If not handled well, this matter could cause great trouble.
Therefore, the three of them had to go together. In addition, they had to find the First Master of the tower and borrow a magic treasure that the three of them could control.
Only then could they escape unscathed.
A month later, around early July, a young man stood on a desolate island and watched a ship approaching from a distance.
His face was well-defined. His eyes were filled with pride and defiance.
A dragon shadow seemed to flicker around him.
Soon, the ship drew near.
A respectful voice came from it, “I, Tao Yuan from the Heavenly Tower, greet you, the great senior of the Dragon Clan.”
The young man sneered. Then, he took a step forward and landed on the deck of the ship.
“Senior…” said Mr. Tao as he, Zhu Shen, and Tang Ya bowed. “Your temperament is extraordinary. It’s even better meeting you in person than what I’ve heard about you.”
“Master of the Heavenly Tower?” asked the young man.
“The Sixth Master of the Heavenly Tower, Senior,” said Mr. Tao.
“Two matters.” The young man, Ao Hai, raised two fingers. “Answer both, and you may ask your question. Otherwise, you may leave.”
“Please, go ahead.” Mr. Tao smiled.
“First, there were three immensely powerful individuals overseas recently involved in a great conflict. Who are they?” Ao Hai asked.
The question was sudden. There were no obvious clues. It was simply meant to stun them into confusion.
“The three old gentlemen of the Astronomical Academy,” Mr. Tao said without hesitation. “The Astronomical Academy is one of the four great immortal sects present in the world.”
Ao Hai was surprised. This man from the Heavenly Tower was indeed not simple.
Though unsure if it was correct, elders from an immortal sect were certainly formidable.
“Second, I need information about the Black Dragon,” Ao Hai said.
“As far as I know, Senior, you already have found the Black Dragon,” said Mr. Tao.
Hearing this, Ao Hai laughed. “It seems your information network is indeed valuable. Ask your question.”
Mr. Tao’s face did not change, but he heaved a sigh of relief.
The senior in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person. He was insignificant in comparison.
If needed, the other party could crush him easily.
Therefore, he did not dare be careless. “I also have two matters. First, a message for you: the Dragon Clan’s Heavenly Book is in the hands of the one who calls himself The End of All Things.”
As soon as Mr. Tao finished speaking, something flickered in Ao Hai’s face. It seemed he was in disbelief.
But he did not show it. “What else do you want to ask?”
“The Dragon Clan’s intention.” Mr. Tao did not hesitate.
He first revealed information about the Heavenly Book of Inheritance before asking his own question.
It was not just a free exchange.
It was enough to show the Heavenly Tower’s sincerity.
“What intention?” Ao Hai asked in a low voice.
“Does the Dragon Clan have a stance like they did with the Human Emperor?” Mr. Tao asked.
“No,” Ao Hai said. “The humans no longer have a Human Emperor.”
With that, Mr. Tao nodded and took his leave.
The Dragon Clan had its own stance now.
They would no longer stand with the human race as before.
It was expected.
“Wait,” Ao Hai called after Mr. Tao.
Immediately, Zhu Shen and Tang Ya’s hearts raced. They were ready to act if needed.
Mr. Tao remained calm. “Senior, do you have any other instructions?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a storage treasure landed in front of Mr. Tao.
“Our Dragon Clan may be new in this era, but we understand the rules,” Ao Hai said. “Your Heavenly Tower has shown genuine sincerity, and we are not dishonorable. We will pay what is due.”
Without hesitation, Mr. Tao accepted the storage treasure. “Thank you, Senior. If you need anything in the future, just let us know.”
He then offered a token. “Although no one dares to defy the Dragon Clan overseas, it can be troublesome to assert dominance each time. This token will grant you convenience wherever the Heavenly Tower has influence. It can also be used to contact me.”
After accepting the token, Ao Hai turned around and left.
He instantly disappeared.
The Great Dao pattern appeared.
Such an expert could kill immortals with just a glance.
Mr. Tao heaved a sigh of relief.
He had finally completed his mission.
It was too dangerous to trade with the Dragon Clan.
They would surely search for other dragons, and the Golden Dragon was one of them.
He had to find that dragon first. Only then could he fight.
…
In the immortal clan.
The news of Smiling San Sheng had already spread.
Not only that but the matter of the Master of the East Heavenly Pole accepting the challenge was also widely known.
Everyone gathered in front of the immortal seed and waited for further instructions.
This sudden change made even the Sages among the immortal seed fall silent.
After a long time, a middle-aged man in white emerged from the immortal seed.
The entire underground city shook, and immortal energy surged like waves.
A sigh followed. “Unexpectedly, the outside world has changed so much… Even the Master of the East Heavenly Pole has appeared.”
Put down everything in your hands, even the powerful enemies of the immortals. Drop everything, even if the enemies of our clan are involved. “He must not be lost!”
The voice echoed throughout the Fallen Immortal Clan.
Everyone was forbidden from provoking any strong enemies.
All the powerful enemies from before were to be ignored, even if it was Smiling San Sheng himself.
At this moment, the immortals worked together and did not allow any protests.
