The God Emperor, in seclusion
The God Emperor's Estate
The heat from the active volcano's geysers dyed the surrounding area a faint red.
Heat waves that could be seen with the naked eye surged over. Under such heat, even if an Immortal King came here, he would be roasted to ashes by this heat.
It was simply too hot.
Occasionally, boiling lava spewed out of the volcano's mouth. Some of it flowed into the pond outside the volcano, but most of it gathered in front of a thatched hut at the foot of the volcano.
Not only did the thatched cottage survive the scorching lava, but there were also layers of dark green vines crawling around the cottage.
It was a bit of decoration for this fiery world.
A white-robed clergyman stood in front of the hut, a book in his hands. Beside him stood a staff member who'd rushed to the God Emperor's Estate from the lot-drawing plaza to ask for help.
This was a diviner expert, and he'd spared no effort in using his divine power to create a protective barrier around the hut.
Even so, he was sweating profusely, his mouth parched, as if all the water in his body were about to evaporate.
"The God Emperor is in seclusion. It's best if we don't disturb him."
The staff member panicked. Both sides were on the verge of fighting. The God Emperor needed to take charge, but he was in seclusion ….
"Your Excellency Divine Arbiter, the demons and yao are already locked in a fierce battle. At a time like this, only Lord God Emperor can step forward and make a decision that won't be biased. "
"The God Emperor is in seclusion," repeated the Divine Arbiter.
"Then what do we do about the other side? Are we just going to let them continue? They've already started fighting before I arrived. If we delay any longer, there will definitely be casualties. What if the Demon Realm and Yao Realm use this matter to cause trouble for the God Realm? "asked the staff member.
"I told you, the God Emperor is in seclusion. No matter how serious the problem is, we'll have to wait until he comes out," said the Divine Arbiter.
The Divine Arbiter's words infuriated the staff, so much so that their hands trembled.
Seclusion! Seclusion!
All he could say was that he was in seclusion!
Couldn't he see that the God Emperor was in seclusion? He'd only asked to get a solution.
But the Divine Arbiter didn't seem to understand human language. All she could think about was the God Emperor's seclusion.
It was fine if he didn't care.
The staff member who came to look for the God Emperor also understood that he was just a temporary guest staff member from another family clan. He had come to report to the God Emperor because he cared about the Divine Realm and did not want the Divine Realm to get into any unnecessary trouble under such circumstances. That was why he had come to look for the Divine Realm.
But at the end of the day, he wasn't a member of the God Emperor's Estate. Although he was under the jurisdiction of the God Emperor's Estate, he didn't work there. Even if the people of the Monster and Demon Realms fought and someone died, they would look for the God Emperor. They would not look for a small character like him.
"Alright. Please remember this, Divine Arbiter. I, Liu Wei, came to report the situation. It was you who kept saying that the God Emperor was in seclusion. If something really goes wrong and the God Emperor blames us, don't blame it on us, the clans that have worked so hard for the God Emperor's estate. "
Liu Wei glared coldly at the Divine Arbiter, then waved his hand and left the volcano.
It just so happened that he didn't want to stay in this damned place. He had almost been roasted into a jerky just now.
He hurriedly left the vicinity of the volcano. What he wanted to do now was to quickly find a water source and drink to his heart's content for three days and three nights.
"Your Excellency, the Liu Family has left."
To his surprise, not long after Liu Wei left the volcano, the thatched cottage's door swung open.
The person who emerged was practically drenched in lava. However, as soon as he stepped out, the thatched cottage's vines sucked up all the lava, revealing the man's true appearance. Waves of heat radiated from him, so hot that they seemed capable of burning the heavens and the earth. They were no weaker than the lava erupting from the volcano.
A waterfall of magical rain fell from the sky, splashing onto his body and releasing a white mist.
The white mist enveloped the entire volcano, causing smoke to swirl around it. Beneath the clouds and mist, a refreshing breeze blew past, dispersing the white mist.
"It's good that he's gone."
Only then did the person who emerged from the thatched cottage speak. The Divine Arbiter walked up to him.
"Liu Wei came to report that the Monster and Demon Realms are fighting. I think his words make sense. We can't allow the Monster and Demon Realms' representatives to die in the Battle of Geniuses at this time."
"Do you think the Liu Family is loyal?" the man asked.
"Judging from Liu Wei's expression, it seems his heart is tied to the God Realm. However, I dare not speculate on his true thoughts. However, I am absolutely loyal to the God Emperor, "said the Divine Arbiter.
"I know you're loyal. You're the person I trust the most." The man pulled the Divine Arbiter into his arms and removed her hat. Her long, beautiful hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. "You're also the person I dote on the most."
"Your Excellency ….."
The Divine Arbiter's gaze grew distant. The man hugged her by the waist and snorted.
"Let them cause a ruckus at the Battle of Geniuses. When the time comes, someone will naturally take care of it. There's no need for us to worry about it."
… …
"Ol 'Liu, you're back."
When the staff saw Liu Wei return, they couldn't help but crowd around him.
Although the yao race's Su Liu 'er and the demons' Holy Maiden hadn't truly clashed yet, the area around them had already become a battlefield of carnage. Fighting would only take a single thought.
"Has the God Emperor arrived?"
Although there were quite a few ruler-level experts present, there was nothing they could do to stop them. Without a certain level of status, people would start gossiping. Only the God Emperor would appear in this situation. That way, it wouldn't seem biased.
Everyone was waiting for the God Emperor to arrive, but …..
"What are you talking about? The God Emperor is in seclusion. He can't come."
"Then ….."
"What 'then'? Just watch. I've already reported it to the higher-ups. If something really happens, the higher-ups will take care of it. What are you guys panicking about? "Liu Wei had a stomach full of anger and had nowhere to vent it, so he spoke in a strange tone.
Then he ignored the staff and turned his gaze to Su Liu 'er and the demons' Holy Maiden.
Fight!
It was better to kill them all!
The state of the heroes of the God Race could be described by the agitated crowd. The demons' Holy Maiden's words had provoked them quite a bit.
"Don't you think that demon general is a bit too young?"
Just as the crowd was getting excited, Jiang Wei of the Navigators actually said something like that.
"He can talk. Oh my god, I thought he was mute." Chi Mei looked at Jiang Wei in astonishment. The others looked at him as well. Ye Zichen nodded. "He is indeed a bit frighteningly young. What, did you sense something, Brother Jiang?"
