702: Return to the throne of the Human Emperor

Boom! Boom!

The mighty Heavenly Dao Power did not pity Jiang Ziya’s desolation.

As thunder boomed, ninety-nine chains, gleaming with lightning, coiled down like Divine Dragons.

The chains mercilessly bound and wrapped around Jiang Ziya, who was falling like a leaf, forming an iron cocoon, and then quickly pulled him into the lightning-flashing Chaos.

“Jiang Ziya has been brought to justice! Generals of the Thunder Department, follow me to our posts!”

Wen Zhong’s voice was like thunder as he slowly turned around.

At this moment, Arctic Immortal grew anxious.

He glanced at the Past Emperors of Huaxia, who were indifferently watching him, and quickly said to Wen Zhong, “Celestial Worthy Puhua, could you please take me back to the Heavenly Court? I want to personally accuse Jiang Ziya of his crimes!”

“Take you back?”

Wen Zhong sneered, saying,

“Do you think you don’t have to take responsibility for what you’ve done?”

“You have already slaughtered tens of billions of living beings, including the Human Race, with the Immeasurable True Fire.”

“How can such a sin be borne by Jiang Ziya alone?”

“I’m not arresting you only because the Celestial Emperor wants to hand you over to the Human Emperor.”

Upon hearing this, Arctic Immortal trembled like a sieve with anxiety, his smooth, large forehead covered in sweat.

“I confess! I was also misled by Jiang Ziya! Please, Celestial Worthy Puhua, bring me to justice!”

Arctic Immortal chased after the Generals of the Thunder Department, pleading in a supplicating tone for them to take him back to the Heavenly Court.

After all, the Heavenly Court’s sentencing would still follow a process.

During the trial, the Chan Sect would surely intervene to save his life.

But if he were handed over to these Past Emperors of Huaxia… Shennong would surely refine him into a Medicinal Pill!

However, the Generals of the Thunder Department not only ignored him but also cast a great thunder formation, trapping him within it.

Then, Wen Zhong, who had already turned to leave, looked back again and bowed towards the three “stars” in the sky:

“Past Emperors of Huaxia, the Celestial Emperor bids me convey to you.”

“The Heavenly Dao is not inherently evil; it will never intentionally harm living beings.”

“When the new Human Emperor returns, please uphold the Righteous Path on behalf of our Heavenly Court.”

With that, he glanced at Arctic Immortal and said, “This so-called Immortal is to be dealt with by the Human Emperor.”

The Past Emperors of Huaxia remained silent, merely slowly approaching Arctic Immortal.

“No…”

“I am an Immortal!”

“You, the Human Race, have already kowtowed to the Heavenly Dao!”

“You cannot…”

Arctic Immortal hadn’t finished speaking when an irresistible pressure was exerted upon him.

The pressure came from all directions—up, down, left, right—compressing his already short body inwards.

Crack, crack, crack!

Accompanied by the sound of crushing Immortal bones and bursting organs.

That “evil peach” was squeezed until blood splattered, turning into a bloody, indistinct Medicinal Pill.

After Arctic Immortal completely lost his breath.

The Past Emperors of Huaxia all looked towards the east, flicking their sleeves and bowing.

[Deconstruct the Three Realms.]

[Reshape the Human Dao.]

[Please, Human Emperor!]

Boom!

The sound of the Emperors, like a Saint’s decree, startled Qin Yang, who had just recovered from the time acceleration.

He looked in the direction of the sound, and goosebumps immediately rose all over him.

At this moment, he had seen his ancestors through layers of Annihilation Sea.

Those predecessors who had built the history and civilization of the Human Race were facing him, bowing in greeting.

At the same time, a large amount of information flooded his mind.

Qin Yang instantly understood what had happened on the Divine Land.

It turned out that his predecessors had not failed to witness his return as the Human Emperor.

Instead, they had chosen to guard the territory for him, protecting tens of billions of the Human Race.

Although Qin Yang already knew that his father had been refined into a Medicinal Pill.

At this moment, he could no longer harbor feelings of sadness or resentment.

“The time has come.”

Qin Yang murmured.

After solemnly adjusting his attire, he once again looked towards the so-called Heroic Divine Realm.

[You have selected the Heroic Divine Realm as the decomposition target.]

[Do you wish to consume 30 billion Imperial Power to decompose the Heroic Divine Realm?]

“Decompose.”

Qin Yang said in a low voice.

[Imperial Power - 30 billion.]

[Decomposing the Heroic Divine Realm.]

[World structure decomposing…]

[World Law decomposing…]

[All living beings decomposing…]

[Haotian Pagoda decomposing…]

[celestial emperor godhood decomposing…]

…As the ‘Disentangle All Forms’ Divine Artifact was activated,

everything in the Heroic Divine Realm began to turn into dust.

The adventurers in the tavern, the maid at the guild counter, the demonic beasts in the Secret Realm, and even the gods… all instantly annihilated, returning to Chaos.

These beings felt no pain at all, not even any sensation.

It was like a television turning off, and the characters in the movie instantly ceased to exist.

However… they did not turn into nothingness.

The traces and proof of their existence were all in Qin Yang’s hands.

The Materials that made up the ninety-nine layers of the Heroic Divine Realm.

The Materials that made up the many World Gods.

And the Materials that made up the Haotian Pagoda.

Not a single one was left behind; all entered Qin Yang’s backpack.

Decomposition did not take much time.

Soon, Qin Yang fell into Chaos.

The entire world completely disappeared before his eyes.

But Qin Yang’s eyes showed no fluctuation.

He didn’t even open his backpack out of curiosity to check the “celestial emperor godhood” that had been decomposed.

He simply calmly stretched out his hand towards the void before him and softly commanded, “Disentangle All Forms, synthesize.”

…In the Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace was empty.

The Celestial Emperor, sitting alone on his throne, hidden in the glow, suddenly flickered.

At the same time, the Lingxiao Palace, formed by the starry sea and firmament, developed numerous cracks.

“My Godhood has been stripped away.”

Amidst the vibration of his Divine Soul, a smile appeared at the corner of the Celestial Emperor’s mouth.

With the collapse of his Godhood, he was no longer the ruler of the Three Realms on the investiture of the gods.

But… he was still Zhang Bainian, who had endured one hundred and thirty million tribulations!

What did the existence of the Heavenly Court have to do with that Godhood?

Before the investiture of the gods appeared, he was already the Haotian Supreme!

“Hahaha!!!”

“Human Emperor!”

“Well done!”

The Celestial Emperor in the glow looked up and let out a long laugh, his laughter shaking the Nine Heavens and reversing the Cosmos.

At this moment, the shackles suppressing the gods of the Heavenly Court had begun to crack, starting with the Celestial Emperor.

This greatly surprised the Celestial Emperor.

He had never imagined that Qin Yang, at the step of refining the Haotian Pagoda, would be able to solve the Godhood shackles for him.

In fact, the true method of refining was to use the ten divine weapons to reshape the Nine Heavens within the Haotian Pagoda.

But Qin Yang had not taken the usual path and had given him a surprise.

Thinking of this, the Celestial Emperor became even more expectant of this future Human Emperor.

Such an unfathomable and unpredictable existence, even the Saints of the Chan Sect, probably couldn’t control him, could they?

“Yes, the might of a Saint must not be disrespected.”

Thinking of the final battle, the Celestial Emperor looked down and said, “That Godhood still has some use; make good use of it.”

“Celestial Emperor?”

In the Annihilation Sea, Qin Yang heard the Celestial Emperor’s voice, but he did not concern himself with the so-called “Godhood.”

At this moment, a magnificent pagoda, shimmering with ten thousand rays of light, had appeared before him.

The body of the pagoda directly pierced through the Annihilation Chaos, and on each layer of its eaves, golden-cast Chiwen beast heads were coiled, their wide-open mouths holding eternal luminous pearls.

The pagoda’s base was carved from a single piece of Kunlun green jade into a Sumeru seat, adorned with bas-reliefs of the Eight Heavenly Dragons soaring through clouds and bringing rain, their Dragon scales shimmering with a dark golden luster in the twilight.

Seventy-two chains of meteorite iron hung from the pagoda’s spire, plunging into the Annihilation Sea below, their clashing sounds like ancient Sanskrit chanting echoing through the eight directions.

Qin Yang quietly admired this last Divine Artifact.

There was no wild joy, no long cries to the sky.

At this moment, his mind was filled with memories of his journey.

The somewhat childish words from back then, about making the Human Race Ascend, still echoed in his mind.

At the beginning of his profession Awakening, he only thought about a VIP card for the Neptune Palace.

As a result, he inherited the Luck and will of all the Emperors, evolving from the Supreme Emperor to the Ninetynine Human Emperor.

Of course, this was also inseparable from the support of the Past Emperors of Huaxia.

Qin Yang naturally would not fail them in this regard.

He raised both hands, summoning the other nine divine weapons.

Including the Haotian Pagoda, the ten divine weapons formed a circle, surrounding Qin Yang.

At the same time, a prompt appeared before Qin Yang.

[You meet the conditions for a second class change.]

[Do you wish to change your profession to “Ninetynine Human Emperor”?]

“Do I still need to be asked?”

Qin Yang took a deep breath and said calmly, “Assume the position, Human Emperor.”
