Of course, the Empress could ask for Their help but it would be another transaction.

The Empress’ expression was calm and she didn’t say anything. The instant the gray-robed god arrived, an aged figure rushed out from beside the Empress with determination.

It was none other than the old eunuch who had been guarding the Empress.

The moment he rushed out, his body rapidly changed, transforming from flesh and blood to a translucent appearance.

During this process, his entire life flashed in his mind.

He wasn’t a human but a member of the Bizarre Fiend Race.

Their race had very few members, with each individual being a unique entity.

In his early years, he relied on the unique traits of his race, specializing in assassination and covert attacks. This line of work, however, subjected him to numerous retaliations, leading him to the brink of death multiple times.

In the most serious retaliation, although he escaped, he fell unconscious. It was the Empress, then just a little girl, who unexpectedly saved his life.

Through years of living together, he watched the Empress grow up and rise step by step to the pinnacle of power. Unconsciously, he had developed a bond with her in his heart.

Moreover, after the Empress succeeded the throne, she gave him endless opportunities and hope, allowing him to borrow the fortune of the human race, the human race’s foundation, and countless precious secret arts to break through his limit and step into the nine worlds stage step by step.

However, his nine worlds cultivation was much weaker than others who had achieved this stage on their own. Moreover, he had lost the possibility of advancing.

Ruler Realm wasn’t something his bloodline could reach to begin with. After reaching the nine worlds stage, which was the peak of the cultivators in the present era, he had no regrets in his life.

Now, seeing that the little girl from back then was walking toward the peak, he was willing to burn his life to protect her for the last time.

At the next instant, his body burned and he took out a purple skull.

This skull was completely purple and emitted a shocking baleful aura. It also contained endless resentment and unwillingness. It was as though it was letting out a soundless roar that transmitted the last sorrow of its life to the world.

The moment it appeared, heavenly lightning flashed in the sky. Countless Heavenly Daos manifested in the air and silently looked at the skull with the same sorrow.

They looked at the skull of the peerless person who had once been peerlessly stunning and carried the last trace of hope of Wanggu.

That was Crown Prince Purple Green’s skull from his previous life!

The power contained in it was too astonishing. Originally, it wasn’t something that ordinary cultivators could activate. Even the Nine Worlds Soul Accumulation wasn’t qualified.

Hence, the old eunuch burned his life force, his racial talent and his cultivation base in exchange for a trace of power that could shake this skull.

In an instant, his body and soul dissipated.

The skull shone with an astonishingly dense purple light and suddenly erupted. A roar that contained endless madness seemed to come from the river of time and echoed in the world tens of thousands of years later!

It contained resentment, unwillingness, bitterness, madness, and monstrous hatred. It formed a storm of extermination that headed straight for the gray-robed god.

This gray-robed god’s body paused as It sensed the fatal danger and retreated abruptly.

But it was still too late.

The storm swept past Its body.

It shook and screamed in pain, as though It had experienced the process of Crown Prince Purple Green’s death back then.

After that, It collapsed!

The god was exterminated.

The Empress looked at the place where the old eunuch had disappeared. A hint of sadness appeared on her calm face.

She sighed softly.

She recalled the question she had asked Xu Qing in the palace back then.

“What do you think of Flame Moon’s Great Magistrate?”

Xu Qing’s answer at that time was…

“If one cannot control their own life, how can they control the fate of a race? It is ultimately an illusion, a fleeting moment in time.”

The sadness on the Empress’ face was replaced by resolve.

At this moment, the divine fire grew even more intense!

Under the astonishing spirituality, the corpses of the past human emperors in the five vortices also sat cross-legged and raised their hands, starting to perform hand seals.

These seals weren’t the seals of a cultivator but the authorities of gods.

The first to form the embryonic form of a divine authority was Human Emperor Eastern Triumph. He opened his eyes, revealing pitch-black eyes. An extreme aura of destruction and power erupted from his body.

That was a divine authority related to war.

Next was the Human Emperor Mirror Cloud. His eyes slowly opened and for a moment, his expression seemed to be confused. After that, he calmed down and an aura of protection soared into the sky from his body.

It enveloped the heaven and earth of this region and the human race.

After that was Holy Heaven.

Waves of light flickered on his body. This light was gentle and didn’t have any offensive power. Instead, it nourished the body and soul.

It was a divine authority related to healing!

At the next moment, divine authority also erupted from the Human Emperor Dao World.

This divine authority was different from the other human emperors. The moment it appeared, the vortex rumbled and waves of curses, poison, and even plague spread out from his body.

They tainted the surroundings, forming a terrifying aura.

Immediately after, it was Mystic War’s turn!

His divine authority was also astonishing. It was endless death that overlapped with the divine authority of the netherworld. What he controlled was the netherworld authority!

The moment the five human emperors’ embryonic forms of divine authorities appeared, it meant that the ritual to become gods had reached its final juncture.

The Empress also emitted divine authority fluctuations.

However, at this moment, another obstruction appeared!

A cold murmur echoed throughout the entire Grand Imperial Capital Region.

“Sword Holding Great Emperor, I’m here to witness your final journey!”

The sound exploded in the region and red light rose.

Countless mountains collapsed and emitted red fog.

One river after another flowed in reverse, forming red water.

All the red hues rose into the air from the Grand Imperial Capital Region, converging in one direction. From a distance, these red shades seemed to form the hem of a magnificent robe!

A god descended, robed in red, with a body towering to the sky.

The hem of the robe spread across the earth, covering rivers and mountains, moving like a red sky as the god advanced.

With a step, They crossed the large region and appeared at the top of the sky of the human capital.

Their figure was revealed.

It was a handsome middle-aged man, with long flowing hair, each strand glistening with light. The divine aura emanating from Him made the sun and moon pale in comparison and filled the hearts of other gods with dread.

What was even more shocking was the sight of an illusory longsword piercing his chest.

Blood continuously flowed from the wound, and it seemed as though his robe had turned red because of it.

Xu Qing recognized at a glance that the illusory sword was the Emperor Sword!

“Time has passed, and the years have changed. Alas, you are no longer what you once were…”

“Back then, our battle caused me to fall from the Divine Platform, and my wounds have yet to heal. Today, knowing your demise is imminent, I have come to witness your final journey and to settle our karma!”

The blood-red middle-aged man spoke hoarsely.

In the next moment, an ancient, weathered voice resonated from within the imperial capital, carrying the force of creation and the might of ages.

It surpassed heavenly sound and became the only sound in the world.

Spanning across time, it forged an unparalleled sanctity.

The Heavenly Daos lowered their heads and all living beings bowed toward it.

“Jade Flowing Dust, come if you want to die.”

As these words echoed, a world-shaking aura erupted from the Sword Holding Palace within the imperial capital, suppressing all gods with its overwhelming force.

Even the powerful Flame Moon Gods felt Their hearts tremble.

A rainbow path formed by countless sword qi spread out from the Sword Holding Palace, crossing the capital and arriving in front of the blood-red middle-aged man on the horizon.

It became a path.

It was as though it was welcoming Him to step on it.

However, He remained silent..
