Chapter 1371: Dawn and Night (1)....
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The time now was dawn. Around the Ancient Sovereign Planet, the five great vortices rumbled and rotated.
The corpses of the past Human Emperors each emitted a shocking imperial aura. Even though they were dead, this aura was still earth-shattering under the condensation of the vortices.
They formed five huge beams of light that shot into the sky.
They formed a pentagon with the Ancient Sovereign Planet as the center. From afar, they seemed to have formed a huge pentagonal altar.
Although it was a little similar to the previous one, in terms of size and specifications, the previous one couldn’t be compared at all.
This was the Empress’ godhood ritual.
Moreover, compared to previous rituals, the ritual now had an unprecedented spirituality as though it itself possessed life!
This was something Xu Qing had never seen before.
To a certain extent, all the godhood rituals he had seen in the past were just rituals. There was no sense of life in them.
Only now, what he beheld was unique.
‘To become a human god herself and make the previous human emperors into corpse gods… Such boldness!’
Xu Qing was moved.
He had encountered many domineering individuals and had also seen those with great magnanimity, but most of them were men.
A woman like the Empress, possessing a breadth of vision that countless men could not attain, was truly a rare sight!
This was especially so for the way she cut the relation with the Holy Land.
The appearance of the forty-nine Suns of Dawn exceeded Xu Qing’s expectations and also the expectations of all the humans.
Such grandeur was worthy of the title of Emperor.
The main point of this ritual was that other than the existing ones, there seemed to be another item that served as the catalyst for igniting everything.
‘The light formed from the shattering of the silver light passage of the holy land!’
Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the gap in the sky that had already closed.
The fragments fell from there, turning into light that scattered into the imperial city. After that, it was drawn over by the Empress and fused into the ritual.
The ritual then gained life.
Clearly, this light from beyond heaven, or to be precise, the light from the holy land, was a key material for the Empress’ godhood ritual.
All of this caused waves in the minds of all the humans here.
What happened today was a series of storms.
The Empress’ words were like heavenly lightning and every sentence was like a volcano erupting. It could be said that her words overturned history!
So, this was the story of the Human Emperor Eastern Triumph.
So, this was the sorrow of the Human Emperor Mirror Cloud.
It turned out that the bitterness of the Human Emperor Holy Heaven was so intense.
It turned out that the death of the Human Emperor Dao World was an eternal mystery.
At this moment, all living beings fell silent.
Only the Empress stood in the air, within the five pillars of light, looking at the sky.
Flames burned on the Ancient Sovereign Planet under her feet. They were light golden in color and were becoming denser.
The moment it completely turned golden, it meant that the ritual was a success. At that time, the five Human Emperors would advance to become gods and she would succeed. From then on, she would step onto a legendary path.
At the thought of this, the Empress’ eyes revealed a sharp glint.
This light seemed to be able to break through the sky and shake the ground!
The instant the world changed color, a rumbling thunderous sound suddenly rang out from the sky.
This sound didn’t come from the sky but… from outside the sky!
After it was transmitted to Wanggu, it became a vast statement that echoed through the entire Imperial City like a command.
“By the decree of the ancient sovereign: The false emperor who is not of ancient descent, lacking in virtue and benevolence, with a poisonous heart and malicious intent, was once a concubine of Mystic War. She entered his service as a mere mortal, secretly conspiring in his private chambers, plotting to gain favor in the harem.”
“With a serpent’s heart and a wolf’s nature, she has indulged in depravity, beguiling the loyal and righteous.
“Despised by both humans and ghosts, and intolerable by heaven and earth.”
“She still harbors treacherous intentions, seeking to usurp the race’s artifacts. Who does this region’s sky belong to?”
“Wanggu’s humans, the words still resonate in our ears, loyalty remains steadfast in our hearts. By the mandate of Wanggu’s destiny, remove this woman!”
“Everyone shall be rewarded with titles and rewards.”
“If you cling to delusions and stray from the path, ignoring the warnings, you will surely face future retribution!
“Take heed of the decree!”
With these words, the heavens and earth of the human race roared, and countless human cultivators felt a storm brewing in their hearts.
This storm appeared out of thin air, hidden in their bloodline and exploding in their minds.
Even the power of fortune that surrounded the human race suddenly churned and rolled in all directions, rejecting the Empress.
The emperor’s robe on the Empress’ body tore apart and the emperor’s crown on her head instantly collapsed.
This was because what came from beyond the heaven was the true sacred decree of the human race!
That was the decree of the ancient sovereign!
It could command all races, determine life and death with a single word, and even the fortune of the human race had to submit to it.
Thus, the hearts of the people were in turmoil, and the giant dragon formed by the human race’s fortune roared at the Empress. Countless phantoms of ancestors appeared, glaring angrily at the Empress.
At the same time, the surging fortune also brought forth the spirits of humans who had died in battles against the gods over countless years. Their numbers were vast, covering the sky and forming an overwhelming force.
All of them had sorrowful expressions as they glared at the Empress.
They wanted to destroy her throne and stop her from becoming a god!
This was the holy land’s counterattack!
However, the Empress’ gaze was still sharp. After sweeping her gaze across the countless heroic spirits formed by the surrounding fortune, she calmly spoke.
“You have all witnessed the mistakes of Eastern Triumph.”
“You have seen the sorrow of Mirror Cloud.”
“You are aware of the bitterness of Holy Heaven.”
“You have experienced the downfall of Dao World.”
“You are indeed ancestors, indeed heroes, born as part of the human race, and even in death, you remain so. I respect that. However… I cannot simply turn a blind eye, feign ignorance, or let myself be deceived!”
“Nor can 1 allow all actions and thoughts to be dictated solely by an external decree!”
