The Black Gold Emperor didn't dare to accept Shui Liu Xiang's challenge …
However, Shui Liu Xiang also couldn't accept the Earth Emperor's challenge.
Supreme Venerable Thick Earth was a defensive Supreme Venerable. Once he activated his Thick Earth Defense, only Supreme Venerable Spirit Wood among the four Supreme Venerables could break through his defense. Supreme Venerable Extreme Frost and Supreme Venerable Black Gold were unable to do so.
The earth element was known for its defense, and it countered the water element. Therefore … it was already very difficult for Shui Liu Xiang to remain undefeated against the Earth Emperor. It was impossible for her to defeat the Earth Emperor.
Just as the Earth Emperor said, even if he stood there and allowed Shui Liu Xiang to attack him for three days and three nights, the Earth Emperor wouldn't be harmed at all.
After a period of silence, the Lingmu Emperor sighed and said, "Since the Black Gold Emperor and the Earth Emperor don't agree, I can't say much. This matter … is over."
Creak …
Shui Liu Xiang clenched her fists at the Lingmu Emperor's words. She had worked so hard for so long, but she still failed in the end.
Shui Liu Xiang valued the Emperor's power and status very much. After all … as a martial artist with a bloodline talent, it was easy to become a Martial Emperor before, but it would take too long to become an Emperor from a Martial Emperor.
If she didn't have the power and status of an Emperor, she wouldn't be able to obtain the resources of an Emperor. Could it be … that she really had to cultivate for tens of thousands of years to become an Emperor? Shui Liu Xiang obviously couldn't accept this.
However, if she wanted to have the power and status of an Emperor, she had to obtain the approval of the four Emper.
Shui Liu Xiang could only obtain the power and status of an Emperor after the supreme Emperor passed a meeting.
Shui Liu Xiang had originally planned to propose this proposal on her birthday. Perhaps the four Emperors wouldn't make things difficult for her on account of her birthday.
However, Shui Liu Xiang clearly thought too simply of the matter.
When power and status were at stake, all relationships and relationships were useless.
After sending off the Lingmu Emperor, the Black Gold Emperor, and the Earth Emperor, only Shui Liu Xiang and the Arctic Emperor were left in the conference room.
Letting out a long sigh, the Arctic Emperor said, "The Black Gold Emperor and the Earth Emperor have always been at odds with me. I'm afraid it's impossible to obtain their support."
Looking blankly at the Arctic Emperor, Shui Liu Xiang said bitterly, "Do I really have to persevere for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, before I can become an Emperor?"
Shaking his head, Sovereign Extreme Frost slowly began to explain … …
Among the four Emperors, the Lingmu Emperor was the leader. According to the rules set by the Samsara Heaven Emperor, if the votes of the four Emperors were two to two, the Lingmu Emperor's vote was equivalent to 1.5 votes.
As the Arctic Emperor's disciple, the Arctic Emperor naturally supported Shui Liu Xiang with all his might.
Therefore … as long as they could rope in the Lingmu Emperor and get him to support Shui Liu Xiang, the votes would be 2.5 to 2. Shui Liu Xiang would then naturally become the fifth Emperor of the human race!
As for the Samsara Heaven Emperor, the four Emperors weren't so arrogant as to place Di Tianyi on the same level as them.
In fact, when Di Tianyi was still alive, he was already the king of the human race. The so-called four Celestial Emperors were merely four generals under his command.
The reason why the Samsara Heaven Emperor was listed as one of the five Emperors was because of the descendants of the four Emperors.
Their thinking was very simple. Lowering Di Tianyi's status was equivalent to raising the status of the four Emperors. Furthermore, Di Tianyi wasn't a true Celestial Emperor. In terms of cultivation level, he was still an Emperor.
Although Di Tianyi was only a hair's breadth away from becoming an unprecedented Celestial Emperor, wasn't that still a hair's breadth away?
More than ten thousand years ago, before Di Tianyi entered the ancient path of stars, the human race actually had four Celestial Emperors.
One Celestial Emperor referred to the Samsara Heaven Emperor — Di Tianyi.
The four Celestial Emperors referred to the current four Emperors — Lingmu, Black Gold, Thick Earth, and Arctic.
She stared blankly at the Arctic Emperor. It was easy to say. As long as she could obtain the support of the Lingmu Emperor and get 1.5 votes, she would have the same status and power as the Arctic Emperor.
However, even though it was easy to say, when it came to actually doing it, it was completely impossible because it was practically impossible.
Among the four Emperors, the most difficult one to rope in was the Lingmu Emperor. In comparison, it seemed easier to rope in the Black Gold Emperor and the Thick Earth Emperor.
Among the five elements, earth gave birth to metal. Therefore, the Thick Earth Emperor and the Black Gold Emperor had always been the closest.
However, the two of them had an extremely bad relationship with the Arctic Emperor.
Although the Arctic Emperor didn't have a blood feud with the Thick Earth Emperor and the Black Gold Emperor, ever since Di Tianyi entered the ancient path of stars, the Arctic Emperor had joined forces with the Lingmu Emperor countless times to reject the proposals of the two Emperors.
Now, although the four Emperors seemed to be harmonious on the surface, they were already in conflict with each other after tens of thousands of years of accumulated hatred.
If it weren't for the suppression of the Monster Race and Demon Race outside, there would have been frequent infighting.
It could be said that the Black Gold Emperor and the Thick Earth Emperor would never agree to let Shui Liu Xiang become the fifth Emperor of the human race. They weren't stupid. They definitely wouldn't make another enemy for themselves.
Imagine, if Shui Liu Xiang also had the power and status of an Emperor, then Shui Liu Xiang only needed to stand with the Arctic Emperor and the Thick Earth Emperor to compete with the Black Gold Emperor and the Thick Earth Emperor.
At that time, the Lingmu Emperor wouldn't even need to express his opinion to reject their proposals. How could that be!
Therefore, it was really too difficult to gain the support of the Thick Earth Emperor and the Black Gold Emperor. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
However, although it was extremely difficult, at least … there was still a glimmer of hope.
In comparison, gaining the support of the Lingmu Emperor was the most difficult. It was basically impossible for her to support Shui Liu Xiang.
Because she had 1.5 votes in her hands … the Lingmu Emperor was actually the uncrowned king. As long as she pulled anyone, she could approve or reject any proposal.
However, once Shui Liu Xiang became the fifth Emperor of the human race and had the power and status of an Emperor, then the extra 0.5 votes of the Lingmu Emperor would be completely useless.
If the votes were 2: 1, then the Lingmu Emperor would become the decision maker. Whichever side she supported would be the winner.
However, once Shui Liu Xiang also became an Emperor, it would be 3: 1. At that time, even if the Lingmu Emperor supported her, it would only be 3: 2.5.
Therefore, unless the Lingmu Emperor was willing to give up his power and influence, he would never give Shui Liu Xiang the power and status of an Emperor.
However, the Lingmu Emperor was not stupid. Why would he give up his power and influence?
In fact, the Black Gold Emperor, the Thick Earth Emperor, and the Arctic Emperor were at odds because of the Lingmu Emperor's instigation. As long as the three of them didn't work together, his 1.5 votes would have room to play.
Think about it, if the other three Emperors worked together, it would be 3: 1.5. The extra 0.5 votes of the Lingmu Emperor would be meaningless.
