As the God Emperor slowly opened his eyes, everyone in the room couldn't help but hold their breaths.
His pale face was no longer as imposing as before. Even though he was the God Emperor, right now, he was nothing more than a heavily injured patient who'd just regained consciousness.
The Angel King let out a sigh of relief and dispersed the holy light in his hand.
He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from his face.
He'd used up a lot of energy!
In the past few days since the God Emperor's return to the Divine Palace, the Angel King hadn't stopped using his holy power to heal him. Although he was powerful, he was already in his twilight years.
While he was healing, he needed to keep his holy power within a suitable range.
Even the Angel King felt exhausted after being in such a tense state for so long.
"Your Majesty, please don't torment my old bones in the future," said the exhausted Angel King with a sorrowful smile.
"You've worked hard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Divine Emperor seemed to want to sit up from the bed.
Unfortunately, he'd just woken up from his heavy injuries, so his body was still weak. He tried several times to sit up straight, but failed.
Ye Zichen noticed this and walked up to him. He supported the God Emperor's back and helped him lean against the headboard.
"I didn't think you'd alarm the Master of the Stars." The God Emperor nodded and thanked Ye Zichen, then glanced at his weak aura. "How embarrassing, to let so many people see my miserable state." "What's the big deal about that? How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? For better or for worse, I'm the Master of the Emperor Star. They've seen me in such a miserable state, haven't they? Sometimes they even tease me about it, but I'm still fine, aren't I? You don't have to worry about them telling anyone else.
I swear to you, only the people in this room will know about this. My people will absolutely keep it to themselves. If word gets out …. "
Ye Zichen's companions didn't say anything. They knew full well that this wasn't the time for them to speak.
Furthermore, even if they were major powers, the peak of the peak of their era …
But they'd come to the Outside with Ye Zichen. With the Transcendence Era present, they shouldn't be the ones to discuss the situation with the God Emperor.
However, they were also curious as to how the Divine Emperor could be so heavily injured.
"This King doesn't like idle chatter!" the Angel King said.
"Haha, look at what you're saying. I didn't mean that." Ye Zichen grinned, then pointed at the room. "What I'm trying to say is, if outsiders find out, all they can say is that there's something wrong with the Divine Emperor's palace."
The people in the room were all people who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
There was no need to say anything else; they already knew what Ye Zichen was trying to say.
The Divine Emperor, in particular, frowned slightly after hearing this.
"The Divine Palace is not like the other Divine Palaces. Those who can enter the Divine Palace are my trusted aides. Star Lord Ye's worries are unwarranted. "
"If that's the case, how did the Godkings learn of your heavy injuries in just a few hours?"
The Divine Emperor said nothing. He subconsciously glanced at the Angel King.
Seeing the Angel King nod, the Divine Emperor on the bed patted the edge of the bed with both hands. His Divine Sense shook and instantly covered the entire Divine Palace. Then, he shrunk his Divine Sense to the size of a room and sealed the entire room.
"That's absolutely impossible!"
It was just as the Divine Emperor had said: only his trusted aides could enter the Divine Palace.
Their identities had been thoroughly investigated, and only after confirming that they weren't tainted by the other Godkings had they been allowed to enter the Divine Palace.
The Angel King and Star Lord Epoch both told him that news of his heavy injuries had been leaked. "You don't need to make such an arbitrary decision. The truth is right in front of you. The God King of Emotion and the God King of Destruction really did come here, and they clearly learned of your injuries. Of course, it's entirely possible that they didn't come from within your Divine Palace. It's also possible that other Godkings planted spies around your palace.
They're spies, "said Ye Zichen.
"How dare they!" The Divine Emperor angrily slammed his hands on the bed. In his fury, his limbs moved so much that the wounds he'd just managed to scab over started tearing again.
"Divine Emperor!"
In practically an instant, the Angel King unleashed his holy power and shone it on the Divine Emperor's wounds.
"These people are too impudent. They even have the gall to plant spies right under my nose? It seems they're up to no good. "
A solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire room. Although the Divine Emperor's body was very weak now,
Although the Divine Emperor's body was weak, the dignified aura he'd gained only because he'd been in a high position for a long time now flowed uncontrollably from his body.
Right now, he was like a wounded lion that was enraged, even though he was severely injured.
Even though his injuries were severe, the animals around him didn't dare do anything to him!
In the face of the Divine Emperor's rage, Ye Zichen merely smiled but said nothing.
Good intentions?
Naturally, the God King of Emotion and the God King of Destruction didn't!
If what the War Goddess said was true, then the two God Kings were secretly plotting how to overthrow the Divine Emperor and usurp his throne.
Ye Zichen knew this, but he didn't say it aloud.
Planting spies had already made the Divine Emperor so angry. If he revealed this information, the Divine Emperor might actually cough up blood.
After a long while, the Divine Emperor finally calmed his fury.
"My lack of discipline has caused Star Lord Ye to laugh at me."
"Divine Emperor, you're too kind. It's just planting spies. It's pretty common. I've experienced it too many times," laughed Ye Zichen.
The God Emperor didn't comment. The Angel King, who'd just stopped the scab from bursting open, retracted his hand.
"Your Majesty, please don't cause trouble." His tone was stern and admonishing. "You should know your body's condition better than anyone else. If you tear open your wounds again, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"I understand," sighed the Divine Emperor.
Ye Zichen looked back and forth between the Angel King and the Divine Emperor. He sensed something fishy was going on, but the Angel King had some misgivings and hadn't said everything.
Ye Zichen licked his lips. Since he was already here, there were some things he naturally had to get to the bottom of.
Even if it could be troublesome!
But the Divine Emperor was already heavily injured. His injuries meant that the events behind his back could affect the entire era, including the planet he'd once lived on.
Ye Zichen absolutely couldn't let that happen!
"Your Majesty, there's something I don't understand!"
