Chapter 768 - - 558 Duge wants to play for time difference_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

…

After eighty-one strikes of tribulation thunder, the clouds of tribulation dissipated.

The dragon vein, wrapped in lightning, returned to Duge’s body.

Duge had passed the Heavenly Tribulation, but he had not ascended to the True Immortal Realm.

To be precise, all realms had vanished, and even Duge himself did not know his current realm.

Suddenly.

A Heaven’s Gate appeared in the sky, and more than a dozen Heavenly Soldiers and Generals peered down through the gate, habitually casting down the Jieyin light.

But before the Jieyin light could descend, it was interrupted by a wave of Emperor Donghua’s hand.

The Heavenly General was just about to get angry when he turned his head and saw Emperor Donghua, his anger immediately turning into an awkward smile. He gave Emperor Donghua a grand salute from afar, then closed the Heaven’s Gate, and hurried back to the Heavenly Court to report to his superiors about the person who had passed the tribulation.

Usually.

Immortals who successfully pass the tribulation and are taken under the wing of Emperors or Heavenly Venerables are not the concern of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in charge of Jieyin.

But this time, Duge had passed the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, a rare occurrence in ten thousand years.

Anyone who could pass the Ninety-Nine Tribulations would at the very least achieve the rank of Daluo Golden Immortal in the future, and there are no more than a hundred Daluo Golden Immortals in the Heavenly Court today.

No one dared to withhold such news and not report it up the chain.

…

On Duge’s personal panel, the spiritual power value had reached a terrifying figure of thirty-six million, and this number was growing every moment, which seemed to be due to the Mandate of the Human Emperor.

At this time.

Duge’s perception could almost cover half of the Eastern Polar Continent; the other half remained beyond his perception, presumably the land of the Demon Clan that the Human Emperor Inheritance had not reached.

This situation was a bit like his skill, The Power of Faith, from before.

On Qiyuan Star and Luo Shuang’s planet, after Duge awakened The Power of Faith, his perception could cover the entire star.

Duge, by Contain the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth, connected the Mandate of the Human Emperor and the Human Race, and to some extent, the Human Emperor Inheritance was also equivalent to the faith of the Human Race.

Indeed, Daoist Rhyme and skill are interlinked.

His guess was correct, the key phrase for Pan-Universe Entertainment truly was the power of rules…

…

“Senior, you have passed the Ninety-Nine Tribulations; the Heavenly Soldiers in charge of Jieyin will definitely report your situation to the Immortal Emperor. We don’t have much time,” Emperor Donghua said with increasing respect as he arrived next to Duge via instantaneous movement. After Duge passed the Heavenly Tribulation, he could no longer discern Duge’s realm.

“Emperor, let’s take a trip to the Southern Zen Region to meet the Longevity Emperor,” Duge said to Emperor Donghua with a smile.

With the entirety of the Eastern Polar Continent now in his grasp, and many subordinates like the Five Peak Emperors and Emperor Donghua managing this place, there was nothing more Duge needed to do.

All he had to do was wait for Literary Heart and Martial Gall and the surviving Alien Warriors to ferment for a while, and then he could return to reap the benefits.

Duge needed to gather more high-end forces to jointly confront the Heavenly Court. The five Emperors, who hold sway over the Five Great Continents of the Mortal Realm, were the best candidates to ally with.

He intended to fully ignite the conflagration within the Mortal Realm and cut off the Immortal Emperor’s control over the human world.

Once the Human Emperor Inheritance spread throughout the Five Great Continents, his perception would encompass the entire Mortal Realm.

By then, his strength would surely soar rapidly, finding more cultivation techniques, and perhaps he could restore several more Daoist Rhymes.

“Not going to the Demon Clan?” Emperor Donghua asked, startled.

“Our chips aren’t enough,” Duge said with a smile. “Going to negotiate with the Demon Emperor now would easily trap us.”

The Human Emperor Inheritance had been effectively proven.

Once the Twilight Calamity spread, Daoist Ancestors, the Immortal Emperor, the Demon Emperor, the Underworld Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, and other Saints and Quasi-Saints of roughly the same level were destined to be weakened by him.

Who knows what kind of thoughts and Divine Skills these creatures that have survived from ancient times are hiding behind their backs?

Previously, this world was free of the Twilight Calamity of the gods. Once those bigwigs knew that it was Duge who had cursed them, those guys would change into his enemies in a minute…

Meeting them now would be too passive.

Especially since Duge doesn’t know whether the Twilight Calamity has been fulfilled or not. Therefore, an entity at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal like Emperor Donghua is just right for him at this stage.

Duge hopes that, when he is inevitably facing those top masters head-on, he already has the ability to protect himself.

…

Immortal Court.

Sky and Cloud Hall.

The Immortal Emperor, looking down at the civil and military officials assembled for the royal court, spoke slowly, “My lords, you are all aware of the situation in the Eastern Polar Continent. Emperor Donghua has been bewitched by Evil Demons and has established a new Human Emperor’s doctrine in the Mortal Realm. My lords, how do you think we should deal with this?”

“Your Majesty, I would like to lead the troops myself to capture Emperor Donghua and the Evil Demon Qing Sheng, to serve as a warning to others,” declared Heavenly Aid Marshal Dong Xiong, one of the Immortal Emperor’s staunch supporters and the most hot-tempered, promptly standing as he spoke.

“Your Majesty, what the Heavenly Aid Marshal has suggested is inappropriate,” the Heavenly Official Great Emperor stood up and bowed to the Jade Emperor, “Emperor Donghua has guarded the Eastern Polar Continent for a million years without ever making a mistake. If we simply assume he has rebelled because of a single Evil Demon and send troops to attack him, I fear it would chill the hearts of the other Emperors.

I think there could be more to this Human Emperor Inheritance, and we should send someone to investigate thoroughly before making any decisions.”

“Your Majesty, I believe the Heavenly Official Great Emperor makes a valid point,” Lingyou True Monarch stood up, echoing the sentiment.

Emperor Donghua was a seasoned Daluo Golden Immortal with his own faction in the Heavenly Court. At critical moments, there was bound to be someone who would speak for him.

The Immortal Emperor’s gaze swept over those pleading for Emperor Donghua, then turned to look at the Queen Mother of the West sitting beside him, asking, “What does the Western Holy Mother think should be done about this matter?”

“Your Majesty, I too believe a thorough investigation is necessary,” the Queen Mother of the West said, slightly inclining her body. “After all, Emperor Donghua is a high-ranking official of the Heavenly Court. It is unlikely that he would be beguiled by a mere Evil Demon. It would be better to dispatch someone to get to the bottom of this. If the Demon Clan seizes the opportunity, it would reflect poorly on us.”

“Who does the Western Holy Mother think should be sent to investigate this matter?”

The Immortal Emperor asked with a smile.

Although the term ‘Literary and martial hearts’ sounds cryptic, he did not take the Human Emperor Inheritance created by Duge seriously.

After all.

Having survived from ancient times and endured countless tribulations, he knew best whether the Human Race had a Human Emperor or not.

His current concerns were more focused on the missing Daoist Ancestor and the Pan-Universe Entertainment behind these Alien Warriors.

The keywords associated with Alien Warriors are related to the fundamental rules of the Dao.

Pan-Universe Entertainment was able to precisely deploy its vanguard forces into their world to test its reality and illusion, yet they still couldn’t grasp the methods used by the other side.

That is what’s truly terrifying.

One day, if Pan-Universe Entertainment, backing the Alien Warriors, truly comes to kill, who would be able to counter it?

Of course.

Danger and opportunity coexist, and Pan-Universe Entertainment also signifies opportunity. If one can decode their methods, perhaps they can advance further, transcend the Universe, and raise one’s own Realm even higher.

This is precisely the reason why they have allowed the Alien Warriors to survive.

Otherwise, with their means, by deploying Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to conduct a thorough investigation in the Mortal Realm, how could the Alien Warriors, who are indistinguishable from ordinary people in the early stages, evade their search?

Only through the methods of the Alien Warriors can one get a glimpse into Pan-Universe Entertainment behind them.

After suppressing more than half of the Alien Warriors, Pan-Universe Entertainment had not taken any corresponding measures, as if they had completely let go of the Alien Warriors they had sent, treating this place as if it were just a playground.

The Immortal Emperor even considered slowing down the previous policies and giving the Evil Demons a chance to catch their breath.

Unexpectedly, just over a month later, the Eastern Polar Continent delivered a surprise.

“Your Majesty, I believe it would be best to send Xianyou True Monarch and Lingyou True Monarch to investigate this matter together,” the Queen Mother suggested with a smile, nominating individuals from among the officials, “The Cultivation Level of Xianyou True Monarch is comparable to Emperor Donghua’s, and Lingyou True Monarch is very meticulous. Their descent into the Mortal Realm for the investigation will surely clarify the collusion between Emperor Donghua and the Evil Demons. Even if Emperor Donghua truly has a rebellious heart, both True Monarchs will be able to retreat in whole.”

“Very well, the Western Holy Mother’s suggestion is sensible,” the Jade Emperor nodded, “Xianyou True Monarch, Lingyou True Monarch, step forward and heed my decree. I appoint you as investigation envoys to enter the Eastern Polar Continent to investigate the matter of the Human Emperor. During the investigation, all personnel of the Heavenly Court are at your disposal.”

Both True Monarchs glanced at each other, then stood up together and bowed to the Immortal Emperor, “We shall obey the decree.”
