Chapter 477 325: Is This What a True Man Should Be? Should He Be Replaced?

[As Xiang Ji raised the Supreme Divine Weapon and the Nine-Child Nether Emperor fell, the entire Void Sea trembled.]

[The leaders of the Nine Great Sacred Land Dynasties sensed it in their hearts—a new Human Emperor of the Human Race has been born.]

[In the next moment, an indescribable will descended, and a message appeared in the minds of all beings above the "Celestial Destiny God" and "Mist Alien Race Great Demon"—this "cancer of the Void Sea" must be immediately eradicated!]

[Before the celestial vault of the Xiazhou Heaven is restored, slay that Human Emperor!]

[The Celestial Destiny Gods, devoid of consciousness, awoke one by one, approaching the direction of Xiazhou Heaven, while the Alien Race Great Demons, seeking the favor of the Returning Void Heaven, led their tribes toward Xiazhou Heaven.]

[And the ministers of the Holy Land Dynasties, these immortal Demon Gods, have long since comprehended the mysteries of "Returning to the Void" over endless years.]

[All beings who have cultivated to the realm of "Demon God" have reached a consensus—the Human Race cannot be exterminated!]

[Once the Desolate Human Race is destroyed and the concept of the Human Race disappears, a great terror will descend upon the Void Sea, cleansing everything, and the era will be destroyed, leaving only beings of the Celestial Emperor Level and Celestial Destiny Gods capable of surviving the Infinite Era Tribulation.]

[The Demon Gods, before falling into the Void Sea, were all peerless prodigies in their respective worlds, fleeing the Celestial Intent and avoiding karma... they emerged from countless beings to cultivate this "Eternal Life Dao Fruit."]

[This "Eternal Life Dao Fruit" is indestructible, except by the "Celestial Number."]

[To protect the Eternal Life Dao Fruit from destruction, even though the Demon Gods may seek to rise to new heights and provoke the Era Tribulation, they must first attain the status of "Celestial Destiny God." Yet, even upon reaching this realm, in the vast and boundless Void Sea, they cannot rest easy.]

[Here, ancient taboos lie hidden, lurking with unimaginable great terror.]

[Among them, the Human Emperor wields the Celestial Number, and wherever his sword points, countless Celestial Destiny Gods and ancient Demon Gods fall and vanish.]

[For the Demon Gods, if it does not involve the Great Dao's contention or enmity that hinders the Dao, they often avoid its edge and hide beneath the Nine Abysses.]

[One of the greatest concerns and fears for the immortal Demon Gods roaming the Void Sea is that the Returning Void Heaven forces them to contend with the Human Race. To win may earn the favor of the Returning Void Heaven and attain Celestial Mandate; to lose means falling into a place of no return.]

[This is one of the three great "Tribulations of Fallen Dao" recognized by the Void Sea.]

[Ranking first is the Chaos Demon God outside the Void Sea, indiscriminately slaughtering the Void Sea Demon Gods, and any encounter with it leads to inevitable demise.]

[The second is contending with the Human Race's celestial mandate; since the emergence of the Human Race's Flame Ancestor and the Human Emperor, some Celestial Destiny Gods comparable to Celestial Emperors have fallen under the Heaven-Opening Axe, replacing the Void Sea's Great Sun, and openly challenging the Returning Void Heaven—the danger level of the Human Race rose dramatically.]

[The third concerns other fellow immortal Demon Gods.]

[Unable to surpass these three tribulations, one will be annihilated.]

[The minister of the Celestial Emperor reported to the Celestial Emperor about this matter.]

[The Celestial Emperor paid no heed and merely instructed "Hu" to dispatch a few Great Demons to assist the Returning Void Heaven. The Imperial Dynasty he established, the Ancient Celestial Court, treated all equally, governing both Alien Races fallen into the Void and the Desolate Human Race alike.]

[However, those humans not bearing the "Human Emperor's Qi" are not considered as part of the Human Race in the eyes of the Returning Void Heaven.]

...

[Pantheon.]

["This Human Emperor is truly extraordinary..." God-King "Zeus" opened his solitary eye.]

[The "Unbreakable Celestial Mandate" of the Nine-Child Nether Emperor has been replaced by the Human Emperor; henceforth, the Human Race can cultivate the Ten Thousand Laws. You must know, the Human Race's flesh body is frail, and enlightenment is their strength.]

[Their Divine Race needs no cultivation, naturally wielding the Power of Rules, immensely powerful, with infinite lifespan.]

[However, ever since the world fell into the Land of Void, the Divine Race observed coldly, only to see those alien races they once deemed ant-like, actually use countless Profound Techniques to knock at the Great Dao, eventually breaking through shackles, ascending to divine status, wielding rules, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Divine Race!]

[What's more, in the Void Sea, a mere mortal rose up in a short period with divine power overwhelming, directly threatening the Divine King's realm!]

[The God self-proclaimed as "Daoist Ancestor" debated with the Buddha, single-handedly repelling the Chaotic Ancient, and with a wave of his sleeve suppressed the Celestial Mandate.]

[God-King Zeus and the gods were terrified, fearing the descent of twilight of the gods, thus they chose to submit to "Fate," establishing the Pantheon to claim a share of the Celestial Mandate.]

["God-King, other Dynasties also received Fate's celestial edict..." a goddess lowered her eyes, her voice tinged with hesitation.]

[Typically, when a Human Emperor is born, the Ten Great Sacred Land Dynasties wouldn't all be involved. The celestial edict is like a lottery; whoever draws it, they are to deal with this Human Emperor. But this time, the grand prize of the Human Emperor was broadcast to all, which is quite unusual.]

[Clearly, a single Holy Land Dynasty is not enough to suppress this Human Emperor.]

[The thunder within Zeus's solitary eye flowed—as he learned that the Celestial Emperor, Daoist Ancestor, Buddha, and Zombie Saint, his old rivals, were all conspicuously staying their hands.]

[He remained silent for a moment, instantly sensing danger in the air.]

["Jörmungandr, you should go."]

[The World-Devouring Serpent "Jörmungandr," its eerie eyes lit up in the dark, waking from the abyss, its massive coiling body shattering the void, slithering toward Xiazhou Heaven.]

[Simultaneously—]

[The vanguard of the major Holy Land Dynasties had already set out, warships tearing through the Void Sea, soldiers gripping their weapons...]

[Demons, Fiends, Ghosts, Monsters, Buddhas, Gods...]

...

...

[Xiang Ji was utterly unaware of all of this.]

[He surprisingly ascended to the heavens with "a million troops," succeeding in raising troops, and despite being only in the Second Heaven, he forged a Supreme Divine Weapon.]

[At this moment, he was gazing intently at the "Mountain and River Seal" floating in his palm, which is a Supreme Divine Weapon, one of the few Supreme Divine Weapons left to the Human Race by the three hundred Daoist Masters of Soldiers enshrined in the Martial Arts Hall.]

[Suddenly, a warmth enveloped his back as a dark cloak was gently draped over him.]

["Human Emperor, should we start repairing this celestial vault next?" Ji Yao asked with admiration and respect.]
