I have one more request!

“That’s right, it’s revenge!”

The Empress nodded without hesitation, then continued, “Although I don’t know who the enemy is, I can probably guess his identity. With his extraordinary talent, it’s not impossible for him to Breakthrough to Immortal Venerable and become a True God.”

Stepping into the God rank means becoming the master of Law, coexisting with heaven and earth.

Not to mention a million years, even hundreds of millions of years, as long as the Law of this world does not collapse, then the God can exist forever.

Although the Empress spoke very reasonably, Lu Yao saw that she had other intentions.

“If you want me to help you, you should be honest with me. Otherwise, I would rather not use this Magic Treasure,” Lu Yao said calmly, his eyes fixed on the Empress.

The Empress was secretly astonished; she hadn’t expected a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator to see through her thoughts.

She had intended to argue, but seeing Lu Yao’s serious eyes, she hesitated repeatedly before giving up on the idea.

She sighed softly and explained earnestly, “I did not lie to you; I truly want revenge! The Great Xia Immortal Kingdom was originally the creator of the rules for an immortal domain in this world, the glory created by countless generations of ancestors. Yet, it was destroyed in my hands. I wish I could tear the enemy to pieces and annihilate his Divine Soul. But I am now just a remnant Divine Thought, my strength less than one ten-thousandth of my Peak period. To seek revenge, I must reshape my Physical Body and re-condense my Divine Soul!”

“Therefore, I need you to unlock the Chaos shackles of the human emperor jade seal. Use the human emperor jade seal to revive me.”

Although a million years had passed, her remnant consciousness had slept for a million years, so it was understandable that she harbored hatred.

Lu Yao curled his lips and asked indifferently, “You probably also want to rebuild the Great Xia Immortal Kingdom, right?”

A hint of awkwardness flashed in the Empress’s eyes, then she nodded, admitting generously, “That’s right.”

“Helping you is not a problem, but what benefits can I gain?” Lu Yao’s gaze fell back on the tool spirit, scrutinizing him from head to toe. Especially those legs, they were absolutely stunning with black stockings, he couldn’t tear his eyes away.

The Empress and the tool spirit both felt a bit angry at his frivolous demeanor.

But now, having to ask for help, she could only comfort the tool spirit to endure for the time being.

“After activating the Human Emperor Trial, you can gain benefits every time you pass a level. As for the specific benefits, I can’t say for sure, as the Law of this world seems to have undergone significant changes.”

The Empress’s willow-like brows furrowed slightly, clearly still unaccustomed to the Survivors’ rules.

“Is there any danger in the trial?” Lu Yao asked after a moment of thought.

“There is no danger whatsoever.” The Empress’s beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Yao as she replied with great certainty, “The human emperor jade seal condenses the Cultivation methods and insights of successive emperors of the Great Xia Immortal Kingdom. Over time, these have formed into various trials. You only need to pass the trial to obtain the benefits within. If you fail to pass, you cannot obtain the benefits. But you have countless opportunities and can continuously try.”

Looking at the Empress’s clear eyes, Lu Yao nodded.

Then he spoke, “I have one more request.”

The Empress gritted her teeth, “Speak!”

“Before the restoration of Great Xia, you cannot refer to yourself as ‘I’ (I) anymore. Remember, you must learn to adapt; you are no longer the Empress.”

The Empress nodded, not refuting.

As long as she could be revived, this minor detail was irrelevant.

“Secondly, you must promise that after your revival, you will not do anything to harm me. ‘Killing the rabbit when the dog is cooked’ is what you emperors love to do, isn’t it?” Lu Yao continued.

The Empress gritted her teeth, her expression somewhat stiff, “I… I swear, for all eternity, I will never do anything to harm you!”

Lu Yao showed a slight smile, very satisfied with her cooperation.

“Lastly, before you are revived, you must ensure that all matters are subject to my command,” Lu Yao continued.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with the Empress’s strong rebuttal: “Impossible!”

Her Aura surged, like a towering flood, suddenly appearing above Lu Yao’s head, ready to engulf him at any moment.

Her lungs were almost bursting with anger; he had said “one request.”

Is this just one?!

With a thought, Lu Yao quickly exited the Jade Seal Space.

“It’s okay, you have plenty of time to consider,” Lu Yao said to the human emperor jade seal.

Afterward, he put the human emperor jade seal into his space ring.

The Empress’s Aura instantly dissipated. She stared blankly at the spot where Lu Yao had disappeared, momentarily at a loss.

Accustomed to being high above, she had never considered obeying someone else’s commands, especially from a weak Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

One must know, even as a mere remnant thought, she could easily crush a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

“Or should I just die with him?” A furious Empress suddenly came up with a crazy idea.

“My master, you must not think like that. If you die, Great Xia will truly be gone. The glory of countless generations of ancestors will also be forgotten by the world,” the tool spirit quickly reminded her.

As the human emperor jade seal, it had followed over a dozen generations of Great Xia ancestors, witnessing the rise and glory of Great Xia.

And the glory of Great Xia was its glory!

Only when Great Xia was restored and the Empress became the new Human Emperor could it unleash its maximum power.

Now, it was just an ordinary jade seal.

The Empress recalled the oath she had once made and immediately abandoned the idea of perishing with Lu Yao.

“He’s so cautious, I’m afraid he won’t give me a chance to perish together,” the Empress muttered to herself, giving herself an excuse.

Then, she angrily added, “But he actually wants to command me! Does he want to be my master or something?! I will never agree to that condition!”

Watching the Empress throw a tantrum, the tool spirit felt a bit helpless.

She had watched the Empress grow up. Although the Empress was tens of thousands of years old, her mental maturity was similar to that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Mortal. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been ambushed and her kingdom destroyed in the first place.

“Don’t be anxious, try to discuss it with him again,” the tool spirit sighed, “Your awakening this time consumed a lot. If you can’t unlock the first seal within a year, your Divine Thought will completely dissipate.”

Upon hearing this, the Empress immediately became anxious. She had just remembered that she only had one year left.

“Then what should I do?”

“Go discuss it with him.”

“Lu Yao!” The tool spirit used Divine Thought to communicate with Lu Yao.

However, Lu Yao did not respond to her at this time.

He naturally didn’t make such conditions as a joke, because he simply didn’t believe the Empress’s words.

Before agreeing, all dangers must be eliminated!

After exiting the Jade Seal Space, Lu Yao returned to the small courtyard and sat down cross-legged.

This outdoor adventure had earned him over 43,000 points of Spiritual Qi, enough for two additional Foundation Establishment.

Currently, he had only undergone Fire Foundation Establishment.

There were still four elements left: Metal, Wood, Water, and Earth.

To complete these four Foundation Establishments, Spiritual Qi alone was not enough; he also needed Second-Order inner cores of the corresponding attributes.

It didn’t matter which monster dropped them, as long as the attributes were the same.

Lu Yao had several Second-Order Ghost Cores and Second-Order Ferocious Beast Cores. The Second-Order Ghost Cores only had one attribute—Yin, also known as Dark attribute.

Among the Five Elements, it belonged to Earth.

And the Ferocious Beast Cores he possessed had two attributes: Water and Fire.

Lu Yao took out a Second-Order Ghost Core and a Second-Order Ferocious Beast Core (Water), and began his Foundation Establishment!
