Emperor Hades was the main obstacle to the yao race crossing the River Styx.
The everlasting Emperor Hades was the nightmare of countless monsters. His unfathomable cultivation and limitless methods struck fear into the hearts of countless experts.
As long as Emperor Hades remained on the throne, the yao race would have to think long and hard about crossing the River Styx.
But if Emperor Hades were to perish, the situation would change drastically.
"Are you sure?"
The Western King straightened his back and placed his hands on his thighs, staring intently at Jiao Hai.
Emperor Hades's death would have a huge impact on their future plans. This information had to be absolutely accurate.
Jiao Hai didn't nod directly. Instead, he took out a jade slip and seemed to be communicating with the Demon Emperor.
He knew that Emperor Hades's death was too important to them. They couldn't afford to be careless.
The jade slip glowed. The Western King and his trusted subordinates waited quietly.
"Ninety percent."
Jiao Hai, who had been communicating with the Demon Emperor all this time, suddenly spoke. His jade slip was still glowing, but he didn't stop talking.
"The Demon Emperor revealed to me that this happened before the old Emperor Hades disappeared. He never saw Emperor Hades again. He guessed that the old Emperor Hades was dead. Now that the current Emperor Hades is like this, he thinks there's a ninety percent chance that Emperor Hades has perished. "
"Ninety percent."
The Western King pursed his lips and rubbed his hands. Even though the chances of Emperor Hades's death were high, he still wasn't a hundred percent sure.
The lives of all the yao in his kingdom were on the line for this battle. It was a huge gamble.
He had to be extremely cautious.
Thinking back to when the old Emperor Hades was still on the throne …
All of them could be considered old fellows now, but back then, they'd just been kids who hadn't even reached the supreme level yet. Thinking back, this had indeed happened on the River Styx on the Divine Mountain. After that, the old Emperor Hades hadn't appeared again.
Emperor Hades reappeared before everyone. He was the current Emperor Hades.
"Jiao Hai, don't waste my breath. After the old Emperor Hades disappeared, the current Emperor Hades appeared and intimidated us for tens of thousands of years. Now that he's dead, who knows if another Emperor Hades will appear? "
"That means …"
Jiao Hai was stunned. He was only thinking about how to regain his face and didn't think about this. The Western Region King's worry wasn't unfounded. If the current Ming Di disappeared, would the next Ming Di be as strong as him?
"Wait a moment."
Jiao Hai went to contact the Demon Emperor again. Not long after, a smile flashed in his eyes. He put down the jade slip and said a few words to the King of the Western Region. The Western Region King and his trusted aides were all stunned. Although their eyes still flickered with hesitation, they were no longer as fearful as before.
"What do you think?"
"Then … let's give it a try!"
…
The multicolored light of Emperor Hades' secondary palace lasted for a full day and night without diminishing. At first, only Xue Yang had been expelled from the palace, but in the end, all of the vicious beasts in the River Styx were expelled as well. No one knew what was going on. Only Ye Zichen's battle group ….
Jade Lake Palace Master: Even now, I still can't believe that Emperor Hades' time has come.
Lord Seven: Who would believe this? Rulers live as long as the heavens and earth, and as long as the era lasts, their lifespans will never end. Emperor Hades is an outstanding talent among rulers. Who would believe that his time has come?
Fox Empress: Lady Providence, are you sure that Emperor Hades' time has truly come to an end?
Lady Providence: I'm ninety percent sure.
The group fell deathly silent.
In truth, none of them were particularly close to Emperor Hades, but he was, after all, an everlasting god. Everyone had watched him grow to his current level.
Suddenly saying that Emperor Hades' time had come was truly unbearable.
Furthermore, at this critical juncture, Emperor Hades was one of the most important existences in the war. His departure would drastically reduce the River Styx's combat strength.
Hermit Emperor: Actually, that's normal!
Ocean Emperor: Why do you say that, Hermit Emperor?
Hermit Emperor: Everyone, have you ever thought about how long our era has existed? Were there no rulers at the beginning of the era?
Hermit Emperor: Of course there were!
Hermit Emperor: It's said that rulers live as long as the heavens and earth, but who's truly lived to this day?
Hermit Emperor: The old Lightning Emperor, the old Demon Emperor, or any other powerful senior, none of them survived to this day, right?
The group fell silent once more. Everything was just as the Hermit Emperor said.
Even the Hermit Emperor, the oldest of these great emperors, hadn't lived for more than a million years. But now, their era was nearing its end. After all, an era spanned a hundred and twenty million years.
In truth, all of them counted as members of the new generation. Not a single one of their seniors had survived.
Yang Jian and the Great Sage could only watch helplessly. Like Ye Zichen, they hadn't been in the God Realm for long, so they knew very little about the older generation. There was no way they could get a word in.
Xuan Ji gazed intently at the River Styx. As she looked at the blinding light, her expression grew solemn.
Fox Empress: Everyone, an important announcement.
Fox Empress: The Yao Southern Kingdom contacted the Yao Western Regions. They're preparing to join forces and attack the River Styx. Get Emperor Hades' people ready. The same goes for the other Divine Mountains. The demons will most likely attack at the same time.
Lord Seven: Got it. How did you know?
Fox Empress: As soon as the Southern Kingdom's Jiao Hai returned, the Yao Realm summoned all four of their leaders. Although our Fox Clan doesn't deign to act as their leader, we still have to send a special envoy.
Jade Lake Palace Head: The Eastern Kingdom's King is truly pitiful. He has so many disobedient Sacred Beasts under his command.
Little Grandaunt: Even the Northern Kingdom isn't participating?
Lord Three: It's normal for them not to participate. The Northern Kingdom's King has a good impression of the God Realm, so it's normal for them not to participate. Fox Empress: Only Idealism, Lady Providence, be careful of Emperor Hades. Since he's reached the end of his lifespan, you'll have to deal with the River Styx's defenses. But there's no need to worry. Even if they attack, you'll be afraid of us pincer them from behind.
We'll be attacked from both front and back.
Only Idealism: Understood.
Ocean Emperor: Hey, do you know who I admire the most right now?
Lord Seven: Zhou Wu, probably!
Ocean Emperor: You're right!
Ocean Emperor: He's clearly the emperor of the God Realm, but when the demons invaded, he didn't even let out a fart. It's just the few of us who are busy! Lady Providence, has Zhou Wu sent word that he's going to send more people?
Lady Providence: I haven't been in contact with Zhou Wu in a long time.
Lady Providence: But based on my understanding of him, it's too difficult to get him to send reinforcements. He'd love nothing more than to see all of us dead.
Jade Lake Palace Head: He's too petty. If we're gone, how can the God Realm still exist?
Just as the members of the group were slandering Zhou Wu, Lord Three, who'd been silent all this time, popped up.
Lord Three: I'll drag someone into the group.
