An unprecedented wave of anger, shame, and resentment.
This feeling was extremely terrible!
From the day he was born, he had been told by countless people: In the future, you will be the master of the Heavenly Court, and you will rule over all living things.
Therefore, in the eyes of this youth, all living things in the world were his people.
They should follow his orders unconditionally.
Of course, except for his father, the Heavenly Emperor.
They had always lived in this ancestral land of the human world, controlling the countless human planes in the vast universe.
He only needed to give orders, and no one in the world dared to disobey.
Of course, for countless years, they kept a low profile, and never gave orders.
They only silently monitored the movements of the human world, coldly watching the changes of the world, watching the gods of the Pantheon Temple fall step by step from their glorious heyday.
In terms of patience, they were first class.
Until now, the purging of the world was just a part of their plan.
They had even seen this step before the ancient times.
Because even this game of chess was set by them!
This was the true plan of the ancient times!
Was it ferocious?
Was it fearful?
Are you sick of it? "he asked.
Everything was accurate and without error!
Even the growth of each person, and the critical juncture of each major event, they had accurately grasped it!
Including when they "accidentally" let Wen Jun escape, allowing Wen Jun to successfully meet with "Experiment One" Shirō Makino.
These things were all within their expectations.
After setting everything up, they began to watch coldly from the sidelines, as if they were enjoying a long time span, and the scene was incomparably grand!
What did it mean to easily win the world?
This was it!
According to this game of chess, it had now reached the final stage.
Once the Heavenly Emperor's decree was issued, no one dared to disobey.
Therefore, even if you, Shirō Makino, were unbelievably powerful, you still could not be presumptuous in front of a mortal immortal!
The youth had already thought about what he would say if this group of unruly young people refused to be disciplined.
But who would have thought that the story line that had been developing according to their plan … would suddenly have a turning point here?
That Shirō Makino actually did not give him any chance, and directly killed him!
The Fu Long Battle Team were all extremely daring, and killed all his followers on the spot.
Not a single person was left alive!
He didn't know if they had seen the decree, but looking at their unruly expressions, it was highly likely that they would destroy it, right?
This was far beyond his expectations.
He didn't even have time to use his trump card before he died just like that.
The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Court was furious.
He swore that he would definitely make the other party die a horrible death!
Of course he had the ability to do it.
"Your Highness …"
Far away from the outside, a voice called out to him, as if it was ringing in his ears.
"What is it?"
The young man instantly returned to normal, his expression calm.
"The Celestial Thearch summons you."
The Divine Sense seemed to be a little frightened.
The young man nodded. "I understand."
Afterward, he came to the tallest palace in the jade palace. Standing outside, he glanced at the solemn-looking celestial soldiers and celestial generals on both sides. The young man tidied his clothes and walked calmly inside.
At the highest point of the hall sat a person.
He looked to be in his fifties and had a handsome face with no facial hair. He had a dignified air about him.
At this moment, there were several hundred people standing in the hall, divided into civil and military.
When the young man walked in, many of the civil and military officials in the hall lowered their heads and secretly glanced at the young man's expression.
"The Crown Prince suffered a loss!"
"I heard he suffered a huge loss!"
"I think one of his clones died!"
"None of those who went survived!"
The group of people communicated with their divine senses.
If they could see the fluctuations of divine senses, the hall would definitely be extremely lively at this moment.
But in reality, everyone looked like statues, not moving at all.
The young man walked forward slowly with a calm expression.
It was as if he didn't know that the civil and military officials in the hall were talking about him.
This was something he had learned from his father since he was young — no matter what, don't let others easily sense your emotions, and definitely don't let others see your weakness!
You are the son of the Celestial Thearch!
You are the future master of this world!
Thus, even though he had suffered a huge loss, he was still calm.
He came to the front of the hall and bowed to the man on the throne. He completed the entire process meticulously.
After he was done, he didn't say a word and just lowered his head slightly, waiting for the Heavenly Emperor to speak.
The man on the throne asked in a low voice, "What happened in the human realm?"
When the young man came, he already knew that his father must have summoned him because of this matter. He had already prepared a script in his mind and thought about how to answer.
He bowed slightly and said respectfully, "In reply to the Heavenly Emperor, that Shirō Makino and the others were despicable and refused to obey the Heavenly Emperor's summons. Not only did they kill one of my clones, but they also killed all the messengers and even destroyed the Heavenly Emperor's decree. This crime is unforgivable and should be executed!"
Although the civil and military officials in the hall already had a rough idea of what had happened, they still couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.
Was there really someone in this world with such guts?
Not only did he reject the Heavenly Court's summons, but he also dared to kill the Heavenly Court's messengers?
"What do you all think?" Sitting on the throne, the dignified old man in his fifties did not directly express his opinion, nor did he make any comments. Instead, he looked at the civil and military officials and asked.
Although the Heavenly Court did not come into the world, it was very complete!
From top to bottom, it was like a feudal dynasty in the human realm.
The civil and military officials all had their own duties.
In order to gain experience, this group of people would even enter the human realm and descend to the human realm!
A day in the heavens was a year in the human realm. Every once in a while, some Heavenly Gods would enter the human realm to gain experience.
Therefore, although they did not come into the world, they were not unfamiliar with everything that happened in the human realm.
Following the Heavenly Emperor's question, a white-haired old man stood up from the front of the civil officials. He first bowed to the Heavenly Emperor seriously, then looked at the young man.
It just so happened that the young man was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and the young man saw a trace of coldness in the other party's eyes. His heart instantly chilled, and he thought to himself, 'This old thing, is he going to say something bad about me?'
Sure enough, the white-haired old man pointed the spear at the young man!
He said, "Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Court never comes into the world, and the world does not know of our existence. Therefore, when faced with the sudden summons from the Heavenly Court, I think it is normal for people to have doubts. This is the first reason!"
Sitting on the throne, the Heavenly Emperor nodded lightly and grunted.
"Shirō Makino is the most important chess piece in our chess game. The people around him are also the people that we have carefully selected in the past. It can be said that all of them are top-notch Heaven's Favorites. Since they are Heaven's Favorites, they cannot be without pride. Moreover, they have just purged the entire human realm, and their killing intent is at its strongest. "
"At this time, suddenly seeing the people of the Heavenly Court, they will naturally be dissatisfied. As for the reason, I do not need to say it, everyone should understand."
The white-haired old man said solemnly, "This is the second reason!"
Sitting on the throne, the Heavenly Emperor nodded again and grunted.
"Before this, I did not agree to contact him through this method. After all, we know that he is a chess piece, but he himself does not know! Moreover, he will not acknowledge his identity as a chess piece! "
"Unless we directly open the lock in the deepest part of his soul!"
"I have suggested that we take it slow, but many people …."
The old man turned back to look at the people in the palace, "are afraid that he will quickly rebuild the Six Paths of Reincarnation and gain immeasurable merit."
In the palace, many people could not help but lower their heads.
But at the same time, there were people who were not convinced and snorted coldly, "The war is over, the weapons should be in the sheds and the horses should be released! A dangerous chess piece like this should be eliminated at a time like this, so that everything can go back on track and return to normal. If we take it slow, this kid will definitely make it big! It does not matter whether we open the lock or not, because a person's character is there for all to see. Today, he can kill the Crown Prince's clone and the messengers, tomorrow, he can return to the Heavenly Court and kill us! "
The white-haired old man looked at the person who spoke and said, "To think that you can say something like this, this is clearly a case of hiding the rabbit and cooking the dog when the bird is dead! Is such a Heavenly Court really the Heavenly Court you want? Such a Heavenly Court is not even comparable to the Pantheon Palace! "
"Enough." Sitting on the throne, the Heavenly Emperor's face was a little ugly. He looked at the person who just interrupted with a cold gaze, and that person immediately did not dare to say anything more, lowering his head and retreating.
The Heavenly Emperor looked at the white-haired old man and said, "Prime Minister, continue."
The white-haired old man said, "I said so much just to tell everyone that it is true that those people are chess pieces, but they will never admit that they are chess pieces! Even if the lock in the depths of their souls is opened, they will still not admit it. So we have to take it slow. But the Crown Prince and a group of people with ulterior motives want to use this kind of forceful method to directly suppress them … "
He snorted and said, "Most of you have also descended to the mortal world before, don't you understand the logic of not obeying the sovereign's orders when outside? Have you not heard the logic of not being able to suppress arrogant soldiers and valiant generals? "
At this time, the young man finally could not take it anymore. If this continued, not only would he be scolded badly, he might even have to die to atone for his crimes.
He looked at the white-haired old man and said with a frown, "Prime Minister, you are so long-winded, talking for so long, what is the point of solving the problem? If complaining can solve the problem, then fine, I will sit here and let the Prime Minister complain for three days and three nights, hmm … one day in heaven, one year in the mortal world. I will let you complain for three years, how about that? "
The white-haired old man looked at the young man with disdain and said in an indifferent voice, "What I said just now is only a part of it, I haven't finished."
"You …" The young man was very angry, and he looked in the direction of the Heavenly Emperor and wanted to defend himself.
At this time, the white-haired old man said in a faint voice, "I said so much just to let you and everyone understand what kind of people they are! We say that this is a game of chess, and they are chess pieces that we have arranged, but they are ultimately not chess pieces on the chessboard that cannot be moved! They are a group of living beings with thoughts, abilities, and emotions! They are a group of valiant generals! Although they do not know who they are working for, we cannot erase their great contributions because of this! Let me ask … Who here has that kind of ability? Crown Prince, do you? "
The veins on the young man's forehead bulged, and he was unable to restrain his anger.
Of course, he knew that the Prime Minister had always looked down on him, but there had not been any overly intense conflicts over the countless years.
Who would have thought that he would suddenly launch an attack today?
But this was not the end!
The white-haired old man looked at the young man with a cold smile. "A group of people who have created such a great cause, not only do they not treat us with respect, but they even dare to come to our door and take out a decree to force us to submit. Don't say that they do not know anything. Even if they know everything, even if they understand that they are the generals of the Heavenly Court and fight for the Heavenly Court. This kind of attitude of yours will also disappoint other people's hearts! "
"You …" The young man was almost out of breath from the rebuke.
He didn't understand why this old thing, who was usually gentle and taciturn, would suddenly attack him as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
But the real fatal attack had not yet arrived!
The white-haired old man looked at him and said in a cold voice, "All of you are arrogant and despotic, trying to forcefully suppress us is one thing, but in the end, you are just a bunch of dogs who use chicken feathers as arrows …"
The Heavenly Emperor's face twitched involuntarily.
He thought to himself, Old man, that's enough, that's enough.
If you are a dog, then what is this Heavenly Emperor …?
At this time, the white-haired old man finally released his sure-kill attack. He looked coldly at the young man —
"But you shouldn't have, shouldn't have! Shouldn't have flirted with Fairy Zijin! "
"Don't you know, Fairy Zijin and General Bai were a couple in the Ancient Heavenly Court era!"
"What? Back then, you were just a little Duke who did not dare to offend her, but today, you think that you have the right to flirt with her just because you have become the Heavenly Court's Crown Prince? "
"If not for your disgusting actions, that group of people … how could they treat you with such a resolute attitude?"
The young man suddenly felt his legs weaken as he sat on the ground on his butt, sweat even seeping out of his forehead.
He looked at the white-haired old man in horror, so shocked that he could not speak.
How did he know about this?
How did he know?
It was because he knew that no one in the Heavenly Court could see or monitor what he was doing outside, that he was so presumptuous and couldn't help but flirt with Lin Zijin.
But he did not expect that this old thing would know about this!
How did he know?
Is there … a traitor among us?
But they're all dead too!
"Enough!" The Celestial Emperor on the throne finally spoke up, not letting the white-haired old man continue.
Furthermore … Furthermore, even he, the Celestial Emperor, would probably be chased off the throne!
The Crown Prince was originally a little Duke, what about him? He was just a Grand Prince back then!
There were many Grand Princes like him in the Heavenly Court back then.
This was also why the Heavenly Court had been so low-key all these years.
They were not afraid of the Pantheon, nor were they afraid of hell, they were only afraid of the gods suddenly returning.
Actually, like the Pantheon, they were also waiting and looking forward to the moment when the gods completely disappeared.
It could not be said that there were no important figures in the Heavenly Court.
For example, this white-haired old man!
Why were Zhang Daoming and Shirō Makino chosen by the Dao Ancestor's divine will left in the mortal realm?
Just because of one sentence from him!
As for whether Shirō Makino was a pawn of the Heavenly Court, the Dao Ancestor who had jumped out of the Three Realms and was not part of the Five Elements did not care.
Back then, he only said "Dao follows nature" and did not mention this matter again.
No matter what, he despised the white-haired old man who was once an old subject of the ancient Heavenly Court, but he had no choice but to use him.
However, there was one thing he could be sure of.
These old subjects of the Heavenly Court placed great importance on the matter of the Heavenly Court's legitimacy!
Back then, countless people of the ancient Heavenly Court died in battle and then declined. In the end, a few people followed the gods and Buddhas to the Heavens beyond Heaven. At this point, the era of the Heavenly Court was almost completely over.
At that time, he secretly contacted some of the old subjects of the Heavenly Court who did not leave, hoping to rebuild the Heavenly Court and benefit the mortal realm.
After many years, they still did not succeed.
However, something happened later that angered these old subjects of the Heavenly Court, causing them to finally agree.
When the Pantheon was first established, in order to prove their ability and to prove the end of the era of the Heavenly Court, a group of great gods went to the ruins of the Heavenly Court and smashed them again.
It was because of this that the white-haired old man and his group returned angrily.
All these years, although he called himself the Celestial Emperor, he had always been kind to these old subjects of the ancient Heavenly Court.
Although it could not be said that his position was particularly improper, it could not compare to the true legitimacy of the Heavenly Court.
Fortunately, the blood of the former master of the ancient Heavenly Court flowed in his body.
The white-haired old man turned to look at the Celestial Emperor and said with a serious expression, "Celestial Emperor, leave this matter to me. I am willing to personally go and convince those young people."
"Prime Minister is willing to go, that is naturally for the best!" The Celestial Emperor's face lit up.
This old man seemed to be very powerful!
Even the top-notch great gods were all juniors before him.
In the endless ancient times, he was already one of the gods and Buddhas, a true Mortal Immortal!
After that great battle, his cultivation level fell back to the realm of great gods, but he was still a Mortal Immortal. Although no one had seen him in action, it was said that his combat strength was enough to defeat a group of great gods easily.
There were many ancient beings like him in the Heavenly Court!
There were civil and military officials.
This was also why the young prince was so confident.
He was sure that Shirō Makino and his group would not dare to resist.
He did not expect that the other party did not even give him a chance to show off and killed him and his group of emissaries.
This was like a scholar meeting a soldier.
The white-haired old man said, "But I also have a request."
The Celestial Emperor looked at him and said, "Please speak, Prime Minister."
"Give those keys to this old official." The white-haired old man said, "Since we want to convince them, there is no reason not to let them know who they are. Once they know, they will naturally understand the cause and effect of all this. "
"I do not agree!" Among the military officials, someone jumped out to object.
There was more than one.
Then, the young prince who had just fallen to the ground stood up and said indignantly, "Celestial Emperor, you cannot! Those keys are the key to our control over that group of people. We absolutely can't rashly hand them over to outsiders! "
Hearing this, even the eyes of those who jumped out to object just now twitched.
The Celestial Emperor's face darkened on the throne.
This idiot!
What did he learn from his countless trips to the mortal realm?
The Celestial Emperor did not wait for the white-haired old man to say anything and roared, "Get out of here!"
The young prince's face was blank, he did not even know who the Celestial Emperor was cursing.
But when he saw the Celestial Emperor's murderous glare, he finally understood.
Oh, he's cursing me.
He immediately retreated, even forgetting to greet the Celestial Emperor.
The Celestial Emperor sighed and looked at the white-haired old man apologetically, "Prime Minister, please do not lower yourself to his level. He … sigh, he is useless!"
He really did not have the face to say that he was still a child.
Was there a child who had lived from the ancient era until now? Who knows how many billions of years?
The first giant infant in history?
The white-haired old man nodded. "I understand, Your Highness did not mean it."
The more he said that, the more uncertain the Celestial Emperor felt.
To be honest, he really did not want to give those keys to this white-haired old man!
The white-haired old man had been by the Dao Ancestor's side for many years. It was said that in the ancient era, he had even been the Dao Ancestor's alchemy boy!
That was incredible!
His identity was the envy of countless people.
In that era, even the Red Dust Immortal would not have turned down the chance to be the Dao Ancestor's boy.
Now, Shirō Makino had become the Dao Ancestor's disciple.
This move was made by the white-haired old man!
At that time, they thought that it was a good move. It increased Shirō Makino's chances of pacifying the world.
But from the looks of it now … this move was a little confusing.
Since the two sides had such a relationship, who knew if the old man would directly hand over the key and stand with them after they met?
The lock that sealed the souls of Shirō Makino and the others was not just a lock that sealed their deepest memories. It was a seal that could be fatal!
As long as he had these keys, he would have the power to kill those people!
It would be a piece of cake to kill them!
The young Crown Prince had wanted to take these keys and suppress Shirō Makino and the others.
Anyone who disobeyed would be turned into ashes with a single thought!
How delightful would that be?
Would it be displeasing?
But the Celestial Emperor did not agree. After all, they were the Heavenly Court, not a cold-blooded assassin organization!
Even the Pantheon Temple back then would not have done such a ridiculous thing.
But it was precisely because of this that there was such a follow-up.
So, should he give the keys or not?
The Celestial Emperor was very conflicted. He could not help but curse his son in his heart.
That idiot, if he had not jumped out to stir up trouble and caused a group of people in the hall to oppose, he would have gone with the flow.
If he succeeded, everyone would naturally be happy. If he failed, the Prime Minister would have nothing to say!
But now that he had been wronged and was seen as an outsider by the future Master of the Heavenly Court … what would he think if the Celestial Emperor did not give him the keys?
What would the old officials of the ancient Heavenly Courts who were calm and silent in the hall think?
