Chapter 1357: Decision!
It became a rumbling sound but it didn’t cause any more storms.
This was because the scenes that happened today had shaken everyone from the start.
Firstly, it was Ning Yan’s sudden great rebellion. After that, the three items he took out were each more sensational than the last, even triggering the punishment of the human race’s fortune, forming iron chains that bound the Human Emperor.
This kind of thing that could shake fortune could only mean that… what Ning Yan said was true.
However, compared to these, King Zhen Yan’s saber strike was the most unbelievable and shocking thing.
No one would have thought that King Zhen Yan, who had always been conscientious about the human race, would betray them.
Such a thing was completely unreasonable.
They couldn’t guess why King Zhen Yan would choose to fight against the Human Emperor!
After all, at King Zhen Yan’s level and identity, there were fewer and fewer things in the world that could move him. Moreover, he had truly fought for the human race all these years.
He had been on the verge of death many times, heavily injured many times, and killed many nonhuman races. These… couldn’t be faked.
Such an independent and noble Heavenly King who was devoted to the human race, actually… slashed at the Human Emperor.
All of this caused huge waves that could be said to be tempestuous.
So, in reality, Ning Yan’s true identity was no longer important.
In fact, some old officials even made a judgment at that instant just now.
The major case involving Ning Yan years ago was still extremely clear in everyone’s minds.
However, the matter about Ning Yan’s elder brother, the Eleventh Prince, was a taboo set by the Human Emperor. No one wanted to touch it.
Hence, as the iron chains that bound his body continued to break, the Human Emperor’s calm expression and calm voice echoed on Ancient Sovereign Planet.
I’m not too surprised by your appearance, but the intervention of King Zhen Yan is the first thing that surprised me today.”
“King Zhen Yan, are you willing to tell me the answer?”
The Human Emperor at King Zhen Yan, who was fighting against the old eunuch.
King Zhen Yan didn’t say a word and continued to attack with all his might. Booming sounds echoed as saber light erupted in the world.
The person who replied to the Human Emperor was Ning Yan’s elder brother, the Eleventh Prince.
“He naturally chose to attack you for the sake of the human race and righteousness! Father, you are a malignant tumor of the human race. You’re not worthy of being the emperor!”
“As for the term ‘Little Eleven’, it’s been a long time since I heard it from you.
Back then, these two words made me feel warm. Now… these words coming from your mouth feel extremely hypocritical!”
The Eleventh Prince’s expression was distorted and his eyes were bloodshot, revealing deep hatred. He wasn’t surprised that the Human Emperor knew of his identity.
He didn’t care about the identity at all. He only cared about one thing… and that was to kill the Human Emperor!
For this, he had endured and prepared for too many years.
The Human Emperor was expressionless. He retracted his gaze from King Zhen
Yan and looked at the Eleventh Prince. He didn’t seem to care about the other party’s mockery at all and continued calmly.
“When did you possess Ning Yan?”
When the Eleventh Prince heard this, he laughed loudly and his expression became even more sinister.
He was usually gloomy and wouldn’t have such emotions, but today was different. He had endured and prepared for too long. And today, he finally had the chance to take revenge.
Hence, his emotions were the same.
Of course it’s when you locked my stupid brother in the imperial dungeon. In order to make you do this, I deliberately revealed myself in that matter.”
“Only then will the spearhead be pointed at Ning Yan on the surface. I calculated that Ning Yan would use the Immortal Inquisition Bell to prove his innocence. Moreover, someone as great as you is busy with private matters and won’t pay too much attention to this.”
“Therefore, imprisoning him is the only possible choice.”
“This way, I can make use of the imperial dungeon and subtly possess Ning Yan’s body with my divine sense.”
The Eleventh Prince’s voice spread in all directions.
Xu Qing fell into deep thought.
‘The mysterious man in black in the house back then… was indeed this Eleventh Prince.’
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. Back then, when he searched the souls to investigate the mastermind who framed the Variant Immortal School, he had found a house.
There, he met with a man in black for the first time.
As he pondered, Xu Qing quickly recalled that Ning Yan had once said that he sensed a familiar fluctuation in the depths of the dungeon…
As for the reason why the other party possessed Ning Yan, his motive was obvious. The identity of the Eleventh Prince was shrouded in secrecy, and what he intended to do undoubtedly required proximity to the Human Emperor.
If he tried to kill the emperor in the capital, there would be too much resistance.
Hence, if he wanted this matter to succeed, he had to prevent outsiders from rescuing the emperor.
Hence, the Ancient Sovereign Planet where the ancestral worship would be performed and was isolated from the outside world, was the best battlefield.
Here, if outsiders wanted to enter, they had to have the qualifications.
As for the qualifications, only the Human Emperor could provide with fortune.
However, now, the fortune had transformed into iron chains that bound the Human Emperor. Before the Human Emperor resolved this matter, he wouldn’t be able to get the help of the fortune.
The Eleventh Prince had clearly waited a long time for this trap.
What he was waiting for was the ancestral worship.
And he had to receive the qualifications to enter the Ancient Sovereign Planet during the ancestral worship, so perhaps he had other choices before Ning Yan returned.
However, after Ning Yan returned, the option of possessing Ning Yan also became a viable option for the Eleventh Prince.
Or more accurately, initially possessing Ning Yan was just one option, but after Xu Qing’s rise in the Flame Moon, it became the optimal choice.
With his recommendation, the other party used Ning Yan’s body to enter the Ancient Sovereign Planet and stand beside the Human Emperor.
However, there were two questions that didn’t disappear from Xu Qing’s mind.
‘Is Ning Yan clueless about this, or… did he allow it voluntarily?’
‘As a Ruler and the highest will of the human race, does the emperor really not know about all of this? Or… did he do it on purpose?’
Xu Qing remained calm and composed. After experiencing so much, he understood that the color of human nature wasn’t simply good or evil, and the human heart was even more so. Its complexity and variability often changed depending on different standpoints at different times.
Moreover, the Human Emperor’s reaction was also somewhat peculiar. A meaningful smile appeared on his calm face.
“It seems that your feelings for your younger brother are very deep. Even at this point, your words imply that you want to distance yourself from him. Are you worried that today’s matter will fail and implicate your younger brother?”
“I naturally won’t make things difficult for Ning Yan, so you don’t have to talk too much about this. Since you are talking so much, you clearly want to stall for some time.”
ii
No matter who you’re waiting for, since you haven’t finished speaking, I’ll give you fifteen minutes to speak.”
“After all, killing one’s father and usurping the throne requires a convincing reason to tell the world.”
Right from the start, the Human Emperor’s voice was calm.
This scene caused the Eleventh Prince’s expression to turn a little ugly. However, he was still very confident in his preparations and the forces behind him.
Soon, his expression returned to normal and he stared fixedly at the Human Emperor.
“Reason? Don’t you know why I’m like this?”
“Since the moment you ordered my mother to be killed, and I saw her die before my eyes, causing my mind to collapse, Mystic War, I’ve been at odds with you!”
“My hatred for you consumes me every moment, and I know you know I didn’t die. I also know why you let me live!”
“You just wanted to use me as bait to see how many you could catch when the crucial moment came.”
“I’ll indulge you! Because if 1 don’t kill you, my thoughts won’t be clear, if 1 don’t kill you, I’m unworthy of being a son, if 1 don’t kill you, I don’t deserve to live in this world!”
The Eleventh Prince’s heart-rending voice echoed in all directions.
The Emperor’s eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence, evidently, Ning Yan’s words reminded him of the painting that hung in his residence every day after that incident, and the beautiful figure within that painting.
In the end, it turned into a sigh.
This sigh contained the emotions he had felt in the past. As he exhaled softly, his heart calmed down again and he calmly spoke.
“Then, do you have any more backup plans? You can continue to use them.”
ii
As you wish!”
The Eleventh Prince lowered his head and looked into the depths of the Ancient Sovereign Planet. After that, his eyes revealed a dark glint as he spoke coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled explosion rang out from the depths of the Ancient Sovereign Planet.
It was as though some drastic change was erupting on the Ancient Sovereign Planet. This change was naturally the result of the Eleventh Prince stalling for time.
At the next instant, a scene that caused even greater waves in the hearts of everyone outside the Ancient Sovereign Planet appeared in front of them!
As rumbling sounds that were like heavenly lightning continued to erupt on the Ancient Sovereign Planet, an earth-shattering fluctuation rumbled in the depths of the Ancient Sovereign Planet that was enveloped by endless fog.
The fog exploded and swept crazily in all directions. Amidst the incomparably intense aura of destruction, a pentagonal altar… was actually forcefully drawn out by some force from the depths of the Ancient Sovereign Planet!
That altar was the source of everyone’s shock.
This was because on the altar were five huge golden coffins.
They were placed on five corners and each coffin emitted a terrifying imperial qi that contained supreme might.
Moreover, they each had shrines standing on them.
There were no statues enshrined in the shrine, only spirit tablets.
The names on them were Eastern Triumph, Holy Heaven, Mirror Cloud, Dao World…
As well as the last one, Mystic War.
This scene was like a heaven-shattering and earth-shattering mysterious ritual.
And in the center of these five coffins, there was a lantern.
This lantern was completely made of purple stone, like a blooming redbud. On it rested a purple phoenix. Its wings were spread out and it was lifelike.
However, at this moment, this lantern was actually filled with cracks and red flames were emitted from it. After enveloping the five coffins, it underwent an unknown transformation and fused with the five coffins, interweaving with the imperial qi, causing the color of the flames at the outermost layer to turn golden.
It was burning fiercely.
The god’s aura spread out amidst the golden flames.
It was divine fire.
To be precise, it was the divine fire that was on the verge of succeeding!
“Father, I’ll show the god-ascension ritual you performed openly and secretly in front of the world. Do you think… this can be considered a reason to kill you?”
The Eleventh Prince sneered..
