563: Those who offer the heirs of the Divine Emperor will be deified

"Eh???"

Lin Xiaoer tilted her head, looking around in confusion.

The voice she heard in her mind was identical to the voice of the being in the distance.

But... this plot isn't right!

Just a moment ago he was calling them 'ants', now he's calling her 'Auntie'?

Qin Yang's friend?

Is this kid's social circle really that wide?

Lin Xiaoer felt that none of this was real.

She even wondered if she was under an illusion.

The God behind the Demonic Eye is Qin Yang's friend?

Then wouldn't Qin Yang be allied with the Demonic Eye?

Lin Xiaoer was completely flustered, her thoughts a tangled mess.

Just then, a series of memory images were inserted into her mind.

After seeing the images, Lin Xiaoer suddenly understood, and was simultaneously stunned.

It turned out that the enemy Qin Yang faced was not just a Demonic Eye.

But rather, the countless Immortals and Gods of a certain world!

Any one of these beings, if casually brought out, could easily defeat the Eight Main Gods.

And the World Tree of the Elf World was their gateway to descend upon this world.

Fortunately... among these Immortals and Gods, there was a defector.

It was this Erlang Shen, who claimed to be Qin Yang's friend!

This master was playing a very big game!

And now, the game had reached its most crucial moment.

"To prevent the plan from being discovered, my actions are greatly restricted."

"Now, we must wait for Qin Yang to arrive and completely destroy the Jianmu."

"There are countless eyes in the heavens watching here. I can only try my best to stall for time. I ask Auntie to please cooperate with me in putting on a show."

Erlang Shen's voice echoed in Lin Xiaoer's mind.

She finally understood what Zhang Lingxiao meant by "putting on a show."

It turned out that before Zhang Lingxiao's "sacrifice," he had also communicated with this Erlang Shen.

But how was this play to be performed?

Just as Lin Xiaoer was perplexed, Erlang Shen began to act.

"We Immortals and Gods, control the rotation of stars above, and the rivers flowing into the sea below."

"All things under Heaven are but straw dogs, and should obey the commands of Heaven."

"Even Mortal emperors, at most, hold the position of Son of Heaven, governing the world on behalf of Heaven."

"This is the divine right of kings, an unchangeable iron rule since ancient times."

"Yet your Emperor has gone against the Heavenly Dao, proclaimed himself Human Emperor, and disregarded the Mandate of Heaven!"

"This act has angered Heaven!"

"I, Erlang Shen, have received the Heavenly Mandate to go forth and slay the Evil Emperor!"

"I hope you all recognize the situation and do not make futile sacrifices for the Evil Emperor!"

Yang Jian spoke each word distinctly, with a pause after each sentence.

His voice was deep and resonant, like surging ocean waves, carrying supreme majesty.

However, he spoke very slowly, as if deliberately pacing himself.

Lin Xiaoer was also acting for the first time. Without any lines, she had no idea how to respond to Yang Jian's performance.

After ten seconds of silence, Yang Jian felt a bit awkward.

He transmitted to Lin Xiaoer: "It seems you're not very good at acting. Just don't say anything, listen to me."

"Okay..." Lin Xiaoer replied in her mind. She really didn't know how to respond.

However, when Yang Jian spoke his next sentence, she almost couldn't maintain her composure again.

"Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life; I have no intention of slaughter."

"I also know that the Evil Emperor Qin Yang is not here."

"But as long as you offer up the Evil Emperor's offspring, I can..."

"You're full of nonsense!"

A mother's resolve is strong. When Lin Xiaoer heard Yang Jian demand her granddaughter, she immediately exploded.

"No... Auntie, this is acting..."

Seeing Lin Xiaoer so agitated, Yang Jian immediately transmitted a calming message.

But Lin Xiaoer refused to acknowledge it, saying in her mind: "Pah! You can act all you want, but why scheme for my granddaughter? How do I know you're not setting a trap to trick me? Do you think I'll believe you just because you show me a memory image? What if it's an illusion?"

"Auntie, if I were your enemy, I wouldn't need to set a trap."

Yang Jian was a bit speechless and said, "I'm not asking you to actually give me your granddaughter; we can argue... Sigh, if I continue acting with you, I'm afraid the jig will be up."

At this point, Yang Jian simply bypassed Lin Xiaoer, the acting novice, and addressed the Human Expeditionary Force in the distance:

"Will you offer up the Evil Emperor's offspring and return to the Heavenly Dao?"

"Or will you follow the Evil Emperor to the bitter end and be cast into the Hell of eternal damnation? You choose."

"I give you one stick of incense for consideration."

"After one stick of incense, not even a chicken or dog will be left alive."

As Yang Jian's voice fell, a giant golden incense stick appeared in the sky.

Its tip burned with golden flames, emitting wisps of smoke that shimmered with brilliant clouds.

At this moment, the world was silent, but in the hearts of every member of the Human Expeditionary Force, a storm raged.

On the warships, everyone had heard Yang Jian's words.

At this moment, what they cared about was not the immediate threat they faced.

But rather... the Divine Emperor actually had offspring!?

At this moment, discussions erupted on all the warships.

"Holy crap! When did the Divine Emperor have offspring?"

"From what the other side said, this offspring is still within the Expeditionary Force?"

"Boy or girl? This secrecy work is too good, isn't it?"

"It definitely needs good secrecy work. Look, aren't they being targeted now?"

"The Divine Emperor having a child is a blessing for our Shenzhou Empire. We must protect the Divine Child's safety!"

"Right! The Divine Emperor is like this; it's not easy for him to have an heir!"

"Your words... sound a bit off. What's wrong with the Divine Emperor?"

"I mean, the more powerful a person is, the harder it is to have descendants. The Divine Emperor is so strong, it's not easy for him to have a Bloodline!"

On the warships, the atmosphere was extremely lively. Everyone was celebrating the Divine Emperor having an heir, yet they had forgotten the threat from the Gods.

It wasn't that they had forgotten; it was just that they didn't care.

This first batch of the Human Expeditionary Force consisted of carefully selected individuals.

Under the ideological imprint, their loyalty to the Shenzhou Empire and the Divine Emperor was more absolute than anyone else's.

And before setting sail, everyone in the Expeditionary Force had already written their last wills.

If they did not return this time, then they would not return.

Initially, upon seeing the being behind the Demonic Eye descend, everyone felt a sense of defeat and despair.

But upon hearing that the Divine Emperor had an heir, everyone's fighting spirit was instead ignited.

Even if the entire Expeditionary Force perished, they had to preserve the Empire's seed.

"The God actually threatened us to hand over the Divine Child. He must have eaten the wrong medicine. If we were afraid of Gods, we wouldn't have come on this Expedition!"

"Exactly! And what 'divine right of kings'? We people of Shenzhou don't buy that!"

"Battle Group 003 of the Plane Carrier is ready. We can go to full speed ahead at any time, even if we have to ram him to death!"

Hearing the Professionals' words, Chu Mengxuan, who was on Carrier 001, felt her nose tingle and was so moved she almost shed tears of joy.

When she heard the God threaten everyone to hand over the Divine Emperor's offspring, she was indeed extremely panicked, truly fearing that someone might be swayed by the Immortals and Gods and turn against her.

Although she was protected by Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards, unless they were Heaven-Defying powerhouses, no one could even look at her.

But unrest in the military would absolutely be a huge problem, potentially escalating into an even worse situation.

Fortunately, the members of the Expeditionary Force were not cowards, so such a thing was unlikely to happen.

Just as Chu Mengxuan was slightly relieved, she heard an old and majestic voice ring out.

"Yang Jian, you understand Mortals too little!"

"Mortals, those who offer up the Divine Emperor's offspring can be granted a divine position!"
