Chapter 2797: Chapter 19: Glorious Battle Achievements! The Cangping Divine Emperor Takes Flight_4

Unexpectedly, his thoughts were not yet complete when...

Old Tan, already pale-faced, spoke: ”Your Highness Divine King, something has happened to His Majesty. His projection in another location has died.”

”What?”

Ji Taichang’s expression slightly changed.

At this critical moment of internal and external troubles, how could such a thing happen?

It’s important to know that His Majesty is located at Dingyun Divine Palace, a place symbolizing stability of the world. If he suffers significant injuries, it might provoke many wrongdoers to stir up trouble, leading to not only a pile of problems but possibly even shaking the foundation of the nation if not handled well.

”Quickly take me to see His Majesty,” Ji Taichang said anxiously, with worry clouding his heart.

Under Old Tan’s lead, Ji Taichang’s projection swiftly arrived at the Provincy Office. After being informed, he quickly stepped inside.

Seeing the extremely weakened Cangping God Emperor, Ji Taichang’s expression became remarkably solemn, and his tone instinctively carried some reproach: ”Your Majesty, how can you be so careless with yourself at such a critical time of both internal and external troubles?”

Cangping God Emperor was drinking Sacred Tea, which aids in healing the Divine Soul, and almost spewed the tea onto Ji Taichang upon hearing this.

Marshal Ji, how can you not understand that you yourself are one of the major internal troubles!

Moreover, with this tone of yours, Cangping God Emperor felt quite offended.

Thinking back to his younger days, indeed Ji Marshal supported him through the toughest times. But now that Cangping is over eighty thousand years old, you open your mouth and start blaming—how do you take me, your Emperor?

In the past, he would certainly hold a grudge over this, but today~~ he chose not to mind.

Cangping God Emperor put down the Sacred Tea, cleared his throat, and managed to maintain his demeanor, solemnly saying, ”Marshal Ji, there is a reason why I did what I did. Historian Taisi Wenbo, please record accurately what I am about to say.”

”Yes, Your Majesty.”

Beside the wall, beneath the bookshelf, sat an elderly Sacred Supreme with grayish hair, who stood up upon hearing this and responded.

On the table before him lay an already opened document, with ready ink and brushes beside it, evidently preparing to write something.

This elder was named Historian Taisi Wenbo.

He belonged to the Taisi family of the ancient holy race. This family had been responsible for the historical records and surveillance of the Dongxia Divine Dynasty for a very long time.

And Taisi Wenbo was the Imperial Inspector of the current Divine Dynasty, known for his upright and unyielding nature, earning the title ”Iron-faced Inspector,” even daring to impeach members of the Imperial family when necessary, recording what should be recorded in history.

Although the Taisi family was not particularly powerful within the Ancient Saints, and not very prosperous, in the Divine Capital the majority of families refrained from provoking them, including the Imperial Household and Divine King Mansion, which treated the Taisi family with courtesy to avoid being held accountable, or worse, having their scandals written into history books.

Fortunately, the Taisi family had always been neutral and upright, striving for fairness and objectivity in historical writing, rarely allowing personal grievances to interfere. This was deeply connected to their ancestral creed and family culture.

After all, the Taisi family stood by ”history” as their foundation; if they used history as a weapon against other families, how could the Divine Emperor continue to trust the Taisi family?

”The Imperial Inspector is here too?” Seeing Taisi Wenbo, Ji Taichang became serious, corrected his posture and respectfully apologised to Cangping God Emperor, ”Your Majesty, I acted impulsively earlier; please forgive me.”

”I understand Marshal Ji’s concern,” Cangping God Emperor waved his hand.

Though his complexion was still pale, with evident discomfort, his eyes were bright, spirit somewhat excited, and his tone extremely earnest: ”The reason I called for Marshal Ji today is due to an enormously good event.”

Ji Taichang and Taisi Wenbo were both taken aback; the former listened with hands down, while the latter began to record.

Immediately, Cangping God Emperor cleared his throat and began recounting from when his projection arrived at Eternal Peace Sky Lake, leading up to deceitfully attracting Great Commander Apocalypse and causing havoc.

At first, Taisi Wenbo recorded with a calm expression, but as the session progressed, he gradually couldn’t control the subtle trembling of his writing hand.

This is... extraordinary and perilous~~

Luckily, Old Tan was quick to react, promptly offered him a pot of Soothing Soul Tea to prevent Taisi Wenbo from losing his composure among the surging emotions, barely maintaining calm to continue rapid documentation.

Truthfully, Old Tan experienced no less astonishment and shock than Taisi Wenbo, but being in constant service to Cangping God Emperor, his psychology was somewhat steadier, allowing him to retain a shred of rationality.

Nonetheless, his mouth had remained agape.

Ji Taichang, normally imposingly calm and thoughtful, grew increasingly surprised, as his authoritative eyes widened to resemble copper bells, looking incongruously amusing.

After Cangping God Emperor finished speaking, it took a while before Ji Taichang, struck speechless by shock, managed to find his voice again, and in disbelief, asked Cangping God Emperor: ”Your Majesty means to say that you used a projection to exchange for a logistics base, five Demon Lords, a Demonic Que Tower, and also exploded Great Commander Apocalypse? And even before this, you cleared the Demonic Clan’s Eternal Peace Sky Lake Base?”
