At that moment, in the imperial city, in the courtyard specially opened for Zi Xuan in Ning Yan’s residence.

Zi Xuan was struggling.

She sat there cross-legged, and the ground around her revealed complex runes, forming a seal that bound her body.

Those runes were formed by soul threads.

These soul threads erupted the moment the ancestral worship started, causing Zi Xuan to be unable to leave.

In a residence not far away from here, Erniu was also sitting cross-legged and struggling. The veins on his face bulged and his eyes were bloodshot.

There was also a seal binding him.

It wasn’t formed from soul threads, but an arrangement by Old Master Seventh.

“Old man, you old codger, you actually plotted against me and sealed me here. I’m going to rebel against the sect!!”

Erniu shouted while struggling with all his might.

Outside, the wind from the nine hells blew past the human capital.

At that instant, the sky seemed to be turbid. The opening of the gate to the netherworld couldn’t be hidden in the end and was revealed in Wanggu, causing everyone whose attention was attracted by the Empress’ ascension to sense it.

After all, that was the revival of an ancient country. Moreover, the ritual itself was peculiar and could be said to be unparalleled.

However… it was different from when the Empress was becoming a god.

Regarding everything that was happening in the Sky Devouring Region, no race or god went to stop it.

All of them turned a blind eye.

It was as though that place was a taboo.

It was because that was a sacrifice to the Divine God, and Desolate was pleased.

In the human capital, a complicated expression flashed across the Empress’ face, but ultimately, it turned calm.

At this point, the deal between Her and that person was completely over.

Both sides obtained what they wanted.

In the future, everything would be centered around the race.

The human race had broken off relations with the holy land and the Great Emperor had fallen. From now on, the fate of the Wanggu humans, whether to struggle through stormy times or to rise completely, rested entirely on Her own shoulders to bear eternally.

Just like what She had said before, She would handle this karma alone!

The Empress’ heart was calm as She withdrew Her gaze, looked towards the human race, and swept her eyes over the citizens of the imperial capital, sensing their excitement. She then looked over the gathered officials, feeling their turbulent emotions.

She also saw all the princes and princesses and sensed their nervousness.

She finally looked at Xu Qing.

‘Younger brother of that person in this life, the Sword Carrier chosen by the Great Emperor…’

In Her gaze, Xu Qing stood on the war drum of the human race, with visible sorrow still lingering on his face. Upon sensing Her gaze, he also looked towards Her.

He bowed to her.

The Empress nodded slightly and finally looked at the rising sun. Her dignified voice echoed through the world.

“Pass the decree to all the eastern regions of the Wanggu.”

“From this day forth, ensure that all our people within their regions are properly settled. No humans in the foreign regions are to die unjustly.”

“King Zhen Yan, King Bei He, King Yun Lan… Seventeen Heavenly Kings in total, lead seventeen armies to the various territories of the different races in the eastern part of Wanggu, and bring our people… back home.”

As soon as She said that, everyone’s emotions fluctuated.

Ever since the Eastern Triumph, there had been too many humans stranded outside. It wasn’t that the past human emperors didn’t want to bring them back, but they were helpless.

But now, on this day, after the Empress became a god, with the authority of a Divine Platform, She issued Her decree. In the east of Wanggu, Her voice was like the heavenly voice.

King Zhen Yan and the other Heavenly Kings instantly flew out and bowed to the Empress in the air.

“The rest of the officials, princes, and others, gather in the palace hall seven days from now. We will change the imperial title and elevate the grand court!” The Empress’ voice echoed again and all the officials bowed.

“The ceremony is over. Everyone, disperse. Eleventh, follow me.”

The Ancient Sovereign Planet rumbled and slowly sank back to its original location. The sky recovered and the fortune of the human race concealed itself.

The cultivators on the ancient planet were also teleported out.

This vast ceremony finally came to an end.

At that moment, the officials could also tell that the Empress and Her son clearly had things to discuss. Hence, it wasn’t convenient for them to disturb Her. After they bowed, they silently left the palace with endless thoughts about the events today.

Only Eleventh, like a child who had done something wrong, was excited and apprehensive. He lowered his head and walked toward the Empress.

After standing beside the Empress, he opened his mouth as though he wanted to say something. However, in the end, he didn’t know what to say.

The Empress didn’t look at the Eleventh Prince.

She looked at the sky. After the human war drum disappeared and the officials left, Xu Qing was still standing there.

“King Zhen Cang.”

The Empress calmly spoke.

Xu Qing, who was in the air, bowed to the Empress.

“I am waiting for someone, Your Majestic. I think he’ll come.”

Xu Qing replied softly.

The Empress’ gaze was deep as She stared at Xu Qing for a while. She didn’t say anything else and turned to walk toward the palace.

The Eleventh Prince took a deep breath and nervously followed.

The world gradually fell silent.

Compared to the grand ceremony here earlier, the sudden silence formed an indescribable pressure.

Amidst this oppression, Xu Qing was the only one standing in the air. There was no one else in his surroundings.

Only he stood there, waiting while looking at the horizon.

He had enough patience because he had waited for this day for a long time.

He believed that the other party would come.

This was a hunch brought about by his intuition.

To be precise, when he came to the human capital back then and saw the figure in the imperial palace, he knew that the moment they faced each other wasn’t far away.

Just like that, time slowly passed.

The sun slowly rose in the sky. Light and heat spread throughout the world until… noon.

The intense sunlight wiped away the darkness from the earth, melted the dust, and dazzled the eyes, making it seem as if the sky couldn’t be seen clearly..
