Emperor Hades left.
The new Emperor Hades, Su Yiyun, stood proudly above the nine heavens. All the beasts bowed their heads, stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers without end.
The beasts bowed their heads in submission, and the gods bowed in celebration.
Even the patriarchs who'd wanted to rebel against Emperor Hades in the first place, now looked up at Su Yiyun with fear in their eyes. They didn't dare harbor any more rebellious thoughts.
The death of the previous patriarch had been a wake-up call for them!
There was a reason why the beasts had been loyal to Emperor Hades for generations. No matter which Emperor Hades it was, he'd always been strong enough to force them to submit.
Even the current Su Yiyun.
When he'd inherited Emperor Hades' position, he'd clearly been a diviner. Now, however, he'd grown to a point where even the patriarchs trembled.
Even though Su Yiyun had just ascended to the throne, Su Yiyun's gaze swept across the Direbeast Patriarchs.
Having lived in the River Styx for so long, he knew that these patriarchs weren't peaceful people.
The corpses of the dead patriarchs lay on the ground. He knew that before he'd awakened from his ascension to Emperor Hades' position, these patriarchs had rebelled, but their master had suppressed them.
No one could read minds, so they couldn't figure out what the patriarchs were thinking.
Especially old antiques like them. They'd long since reached the point where they didn't show their emotions. Even Su Yiyun, who'd inherited Emperor Hades' position, couldn't tell if they still harbored rebellious thoughts.
When they sensed Su Yiyun's gaze, the patriarchs instinctively lowered their heads.
They were a little afraid.
At their level, they were naturally courageous. If the person standing in front of them was the God Emperor, they wouldn't even bat an eyelid.
But it was Emperor Hades!
The beasts had always been under Emperor Hades' control. The previous emperors had left a deep imprint in their hearts. This was a bone-deep fear, which was why all the beasts bowed down to Emperor Hades when he appeared.
They couldn't defy him.
This fear had long since seeped into their veins.
Su Yiyun could sense their fear, but he still couldn't completely trust them.
He withdrew his gaze, and a hint of relief flashed in the eyes of the Mighty Beasts when he withdrew his gaze.
Before long ….
Boom.
The River of Time, which had collected the artifacts, was once again laid at the intersection of the God Race and the Demon Race. It became the Demon Race's nightmare and guarded the God Race's territory. The temporary imperial residence in the void also fell into the Netherworld River at this time.
Everything was exactly the same as when Emperor Hades had been on the throne, but there were also some differences.
"Yiyun, congratulations on becoming the Netherworld Emperor." At that moment, Ye Zichen transmitted into Su Yiyun's sea of consciousness. "Let's leave the celebration for later. I'll leave the River Styx to you. We have to hurry to the Fox Clan's aid, so we can't stay here any longer."
Ye Zichen had always been in a hurry.
Ever since news of the Fox Empress appeared in the group chat, Ye Zichen had been worried about the Fox Clan's situation.
If it weren't for the ferocious beasts blocking their way, and if it weren't for Su Yiyun's ascension to the throne, he would have led his army to the Fox Clan long ago.
Su Yan and the others were all in the Fox Clan. He couldn't let the Fox Clan be in danger for even a second.
Su Yiyun had already succeeded in becoming Emperor Hades. It might have been disadvantageous for him to leave during that period, but now ….
"What happened to the Fox Clan?"
A grave expression flashed across Su Yiyun's face.
He cared a lot about the Fox Clan's situation!
At the end of the day, Su Yan was his little sister. How could he not care about her situation?
The members of the Upheaval Alliance and Profound Pavilion were already readjusting their formations and preparing for battle. Xuan Ji, the Great Sage, and the others were ready to set off for the Fox Clan's territory.
Six hours had already passed since Emperor Hades had succeeded the throne.
No one could say for sure what was going on with the Fox Clan, who'd sent out a distress signal six hours earlier.
"The demons and yao don't know what went wrong, so they didn't attack the River Styx. Instead, they suddenly attacked the Fox Clan. The Dragon Clan, Vermillion Bird Clan, and the other Sacred Beast Clans should have already gone to their aid, but the Fox Empress still sent out a distress signal in our group chat. It's obvious how dire the situation is. "
Ye Zichen stared intently at Su Yiyun.
"You've only just inherited the throne, so there are still many matters for you to handle. You also need to consolidate your cultivation. You'll be in charge of guarding the River Styx. The situation with the Fox Clan is rather tense. We really can't stay here any longer. Let's go! "
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Su Yiyun reached out and called out to Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen turned around hesitantly and saw Su Yiyun narrowed his eyes. He'd called over the River Styx's vicious beast ancestors.
"Emperor Hades!"
The ancestors lowered their gazes, not daring to meet his gaze. Su Yiyun's expression was solemn.
"I'll leave Emperor Hades in your care."
"Yiyun …." Ye Zichen glared. He already knew what Su Yiyun was planning.
Su Yiyun raised his hand at Ye Zichen, then scanned the ancestors' faces intently. Under this gaze, the Patriarchs could be said to be quite uncomfortable.
"I'm leaving the River Styx to you because I trust you. Don't let down this emperor's trust in you. If you do anything after I return …. Hmph, you're already old. It doesn't matter. Think about your descendants. "
The Patriarchs patted the chests of the Patriarchs, and they kept smiling apologetically.
Only then did Su Yiyun look away and turn to Ye Zichen.
"Let's go. I'll go with you."
"The River Styx …."
"I doubt they'd dare cause any trouble." Su Yiyun narrowed his eyes and glanced at the ancestors. They instantly lowered their heads. "If they dare take advantage of my absence and let the yao invade, they'll be exterminated!"
Vicious beasts were sinful beasts!
They'd all committed heinous crimes in the Primordial Era and had come to Emperor Hades to atone for their sins.
As a result, even if Emperor Hades wanted to kill them, he wouldn't feel any pressure!
The vicious beasts knew this too, which was why they revered Emperor Hades.
When he heard Su Yiyun's words, Ye Zichen didn't hesitate. Although Su Yiyun had just inherited Emperor Hades' position, his cultivation was most likely no weaker than Yang Jian and the others.
Given his cultivation, he'd undoubtedly be an extremely powerful force!
"Emperor Hades is going too?" When she saw Su Yiyun and Ye Zichen, she laughed. "Before we set off, we need to think about something. We'll have to pass through the Southern Empire's territory on our way to the Fox Clan. We can't avoid yao intercepting us. That's the fastest way …."
"We'll just slaughter our way through!" said Su Yiyun decisively.
"That's one way, of course, but it'll take up too much time," said Xuan Ji. "I trust Emperor Hades doesn't want to waste too much time on the road either!"
"Lady Providence, do you have any good ideas?" asked Su Yiyun.
