Heavenly God City.
News of yao and demons invading God Realm territory spread like wildfire. Countless people living in Heavenly God City and the Central Divine Mountain panicked.
Countless experts contacted their friends, hoping to learn more about the other Divine Mountains.
Fortunately, the other Divine Mountains hadn't suffered particularly serious invasions, so the cultivators in Heavenly God City relaxed. However, when they tried to leave the city and head to the cities of their friends or family, they were stopped by the city's guards.
During this time, without the God Emperor's approval, no one was allowed to take even half a step out of the city.
Countless cultivators in Heavenly God City complained about such a forceful decision. However, due to the threat of the city guards, they had no choice but to remain. Their hearts were filled with longing and worry, and the city's resentment had already reached a boiling cauldron.
Even under these circumstances, God Emperor Zhou Wu's decision wasn't to appease these cultivators.
He wasn't there to appease the cultivators, but to order the various factions in the city to use even more powerful force to suppress them.
"God Emperor."
The Divine Arbiter stood outside the long curtains of the God Emperor's room, worry etched on her pretty face.
She'd been under the most pressure during this time. The God Emperor didn't care about the city's affairs at all; he was completely focused on transcending. Most of the other god clans wanted to send more members to the other Divine Mountains, and she'd sent them a message to suppress them.
Afterwards, the cultivators in the city grew restless and more restless. At first, they'd accumulated resentment, but in the end, they'd suddenly exploded. Although news of the demon invasion had spread like wildfire, only three days had passed since then, the city had already seen several small-scale riots.
Suppress!
Forcibly suppress!
Time and time again, the Divine Arbiter's Family and the other families had suppressed the riots. However, this only served to deepen their resentment. No one could imagine whether or not the God Emperor's Estate would be able to intimidate them with martial might in the end.
She'd come here to discuss with the God Emperor about whether or not they should send reinforcements to the other Divine Mountains. At the very least, they needed to appease the cultivators in the city.
After whispering to the God Emperor, the Divine Arbiter waited behind the curtains.
She was the person closest to the God Emperor, so she knew his recent mood. As he was in the middle of a breakthrough, he hated being disturbed.
Time flew by. The Divine Arbiter could only watch as the sky outside darkened. Only then did a soft murmur emerge from the God Emperor's room.
"Come in."
He lifted the curtains and entered. The God Emperor was wearing white pajamas and was barefooted. His hair was messy and he looked very slovenly.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at his hands. Even though the Divine Arbiter had already entered the room, his expression remained the same. Faint traces of madness could be seen in his eyes.
"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!"
Zhou Wu kept muttering to himself. During this period of time, he had already touched the door to transcendence countless times. Even though the door was clearly within his reach, he just couldn't take that one step.
He could only pace back and forth in front of the door, unable to actually walk in.
At first, he was excited. He thought he was going to succeed. At first, she was a little impatient, and now she was even a little hysterical.
It was as if there was no one around, and the low murmurs continued for a full hour.
"Why are you here? Is there any news from Xue Tie?" The God Emperor sat cross-legged on his bed, his brows furrowed. "I'm only one step away from transcendence. If I can find Xue Tie, I'll steal his celestial fate and ascend to transcendence."
"Not yet," said the Divine Arbiter.
"Not yet? Then why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me unless it was important?" Zhou Wu's gaze instantly grew cold.
"Xue Tie is being protected too well by the Xiao Family. I've already sent people to investigate, but as you know, the demons are currently attacking several Divine Mountains. Their defenses are excellent, so it'll be difficult for our men to infiltrate them," said the Divine Arbiter.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would've forgotten. Are the Divine Mountains in such a state? Are they seriously damaged?" asked Zhou Wu.
"The demons are only testing the waters. The casualties on the Divine Mountains aren't particularly severe," replied the Divine Arbiter.
Suddenly, Zhou Wu's eyes flashed with disappointment. When the Divine Arbiter saw his gaze, her heart froze.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Zhou Wu seemed to have lost interest in everything and was about to ask her to leave.
Just as the Divine Arbiter was about to tell the God Emperor about the situation in the city, a streak of purple light suddenly appeared outside the window.
The God Emperor, dressed in his white pajamas, suddenly transformed into a wisp of smoke and disappeared. The Divine Arbiter followed him into the sky.
The multicolored light had appeared from beneath the Divine Mountains. Not only did the God Emperor and the Divine Arbiter notice it, but the other cultivators and experts in the city also noticed it.
"Could a supreme treasure have appeared beneath the Divine Mountains?"
Even at the Divine Mountains, the multicolored light was still dazzling. It was easy to imagine how blinding it would be.
The same thought flashed through the minds of quite a few cultivators. If that weren't the case, they wouldn't be able to understand why the light would descend upon the Divine Mountains.
The God Emperor looked at all of this with a deep gaze. For some reason, he laughed.
"That's wonderful."
Suddenly, Zhou Wu said something like that. The Divine Arbiter frowned in confusion.
"What's so special about this multicolored light? Is it really a supreme treasure? Do you need me to retrieve it for you?"
"A supreme treasure?" Zhou Wu sneered. "It's not a supreme treasure!"
Of course, this multicolored light could be the birth of a supreme treasure. That was understandable. If it were anywhere else, Zhou Wu would've thought it was a supreme treasure, but this multicolored light had appeared in the River Styx.
He was certain that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him.
The multicolored light had come from the River Styx.
"If it's not a supreme treasure, then it's …."
"It's light from the River Styx." Zhou Wu snorted. "I can't believe he's still alive, despite how much I've targeted him. I never would've guessed that the demons' invasion would fulfill my wish. I really have to thank the Southern Empire."
"You mean …."
"Alright, there's nothing to see here. Let's go back."
Zhou Wu seemed to be in a good mood as he landed in the God Emperor's estate. The Divine Arbiter stood in the sky and looked at the multicolored light for a long time.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that Emperor Hades …."
"Yes, that's exactly what you're thinking."
The Divine Arbiter's expression froze. "Then shouldn't the God Emperor's Estate send reinforcements to the River Styx? If the God Emperor perishes, the River Styx's defenses will be halved. If the yao break through, we won't have …. "
"Who says we won't? Don't we have other Divine Mountains?"
"But …."
"No buts." Zhou Wu coldly interrupted her and snorted. "Divine Arbiter, I can sense that you're very concerned about my enemies."
