Chapter 678 - Outrageous Demand
Now that all of those who should die were now dead, Jin Rou looked at the spectators in a distance and smiled, "Does any of you there still wants to oppose our empire?"
The spectators gulped as they slowly moved away in fear. This young man was invincible despite being so young. What could they do about him? It was better to move away and never cross paths with this person.
Seeing no one dared to respond, Jin Rou looked at a place where the three empires' reinforcements were. They were the various kingdoms that wanted a bite of the Phoenix Empire, "And the empires involved in this scheme, I want you to give me the heads of your present kings. If you don't do it in three days, consider your kingdom doomed. I'm not threatening you, I won't even blink an eye for destroying your kingdoms."
Jin Rou's demand was outrageous and the people in that place were angry. After all, he was asking for their king's head and present it to him. And if they didn't abide, they would face destruction. However, what could they do? This was a Universal Law and no one could save them if he attack their kingdoms.
In truth, Jin Rou was already being merciful by giving this. He could just annihilate their kingdoms and the root of trouble would be gone yet he didn't choose to. Asking for their ruler's head was already a mercy to save them from destruction. But if they couldn't appreciate his kindness, he wouldn't mind making a trip there and destroy them.
"Remember, I'm only giving you three days. Those who will not comply should just be ready for my upcoming visit to raze your kingdom to the ground. No empire will be able to protect you from me, mark my word." Jin Rou's cold words penetrated their hearts. The coldness was ruthless enough to make them shudder in fear.
After saying his piece, Jin Rou returned to the palace and he was greeted immediately by Dao Supreme ancestors. Even Emperor Lin was present and his offsprings. They were half kneeling on the ground as they said in unison, "Your Majesty, thank you for saving us and the empire."
Truth be told, they didn't expect Jin Rou to actually defeat the three empires. It was already a miracle if they could evacuate their citizens without casualties. Yet, Jin Rou took the three empires alone with their laws and supremes.
This was a deed that they couldn't pay no matter what. Now, they didn't have an ounce of jealousy towards Jin Rou as he was Feng Lin's successor. Perhaps if it's someone of their family, they might have just died along with the empire.
Feng Lin didn't choose the wrong person. He was truly the greatest law ever existed in this world. Protecting Fate for trillions of years, this must have been the good karma he accumulated in this lifetime.
"Rise, everyone. This is what I should do." Jin Rou said softly, "This is my late master's empire which he built with his blood and sweat, how can I watch it fall down? Now that the looming threat is gone, Phoenix Empire will rise to the ranks once again and reclaim its glory."
After which, he looked at the ancestors and said, "Supreme Ancestors, I cannot stay here for long as I have my own world outside of here. But don't worry, the empire will have another Universal Law outside of me."
Then, Jin Rou wrote something in the paper and gave it to the ancestors, "This is Noah's and Bloodflaw's legacies. I wrote down the place where it is so you must retrieve it and find successors suitable for the legacy."
Everyone widened their eyes in shock. How was that possible that Jin Rou knew Noah's and Bloodflaw's legacies? Was it perhaps told by the two laws? As far as they recalled, they didn't remember Jin Rou and the laws having conversation regarding this.
As a matter of fact, Jin Rou also knew where God King's legacy was. He was planning to get it and take it himself and get him stronger to fight that monster. Furthermore, God King himself gave the locations himself and it's be a waste if he didn't accept their generosity. He didn't know why God King shared those information, but Jin Rou knew there was no ill intention hidden.
Perhaps God King was trying to make up for his mistakes and wanted Jin Rou to carry on the mission of slaying the monster since he failed to do so.
"Your Majestic, this..." The Supreme Ancestors were speechless. Although the locations were normal enough in their eyes, how would they dare to get it? Wouldn't the Blood Ancient Empire and Holy God Empire pursue their heads then?
"You can relax. Nothing of that sort will happen." Jin Rou chuckled, "Just think about it as their compensation for killing my master. Besides, with me here, and my incoming trip to their empires, will they even dare to breathe loudly?"
"Then if it's that the case, we will immediately dispatch ourselves and our strongest legion to bring the legacies." Ancestor Wang immediately hardened his stance, "But Your Majesty, we are not quite familiar with their legacies and how will we choose the right person..."
It was true. They weren't familiar with the legacies, especially the blood type legacy. How could they choose a suitable candidate for it?
"The blood legacy is very suitable for Ancestor Wang, and the Noah's legacy will be for Emperor Lin." Jin Rou smiled, "This is my suggestion and it's up to you if you follow it."
Ancestor Wang was stumped when he heard he was suitable for a legacy, "Your Majesty, I'm already too old to take a legacy. I'm afraid I have to disappoint you."
Even Emperor Lin was surprised.
"Ancestor, you practice Flame Blood Art and your grand dao consists of blood. Aside from you, there next suitable candidate should be the crown prince but he isn't prepared for it yet. If you want the empire to rise once again, you have to do it immediately or else when I'm gone, someone might prey on the legacies in this empire.." Jin Rou said.
