Samsara Online-Novel

Human Emperor Xuan Liuxian’s mind was in chaos at this moment. As he tried to fight against the gravitational force weighing on his body fruitlessly, only one thought constantly popped into his head.

How is this possible! Xuan Liuxian was incredulous at what was happening to him.

He, a powerful God grade boss, the emperor of mankind, was actually being forced to the ground by such a group of weak people?! Xuan Liuxian felt that his whole world had been turned upside down.

Since when was an ant capable of knocking down an elephant!

The problem was that Xuan Liuxian was not reasoning things out carefully due to the anger he felt and the shame that overwhelmed him as well as his natural disdain for the players.

One ant was naturally incapable of taking down an elephant. But if several hundred thousand or even millions of ants joined together at the same time, then even the most powerful animal on earth could only submit to death.

Ants were an interesting species because they always worked together. They knew they were weak, so they always helped each other.

Unlike ants, humans were mostly proud beings who were rarely willing to ask for help from another human. This was so not only because of pride in oneself but also because the chances of being rejected were especially high; because humans were selfish.

However, when humans began to unite and work together like a hive of ants, then they became a race that, equipped with the ability to think, was simply too fearful.

Not for nothing did humans dominate the world even though they were weak.

The players were, of course, infinitely weaker than the emperor; this was only natural. A single slash of the emperor’s sword could annihilate tens of thousands and with such a difference in power between the two sides it would only be a matter of time before all the players were wiped out.

But, when the weak players united and used their ability to think, even a more powerful enemy could fall if wasn’t careful; this was what happened earlier to the Abyssal Dragon when he was forced to the ground and the same thing was happening now to Emperor Xuan Liuxian.

"If we really want to look for a culprit in all this, the person is right there, don’t you think?"

Such words attracted the emperor’s attention and he quickly saw approaching the King of the North and the arrogant human who dared to say that he would annihilate mankind before.

"Bastard!" Xuan Liuxian gritted his teeth and glared at Xie Feng viciously before looking at the king and saying, "Hu Yi, you are betraying mankind? You are betraying your ancestors?!"

King Hu Yi’s face changed slightly upon hearing this and he looked at Xie Feng as he clenched the bow in his hands.

"Betrayal?" Xie Feng looked at the emperor and sneered, "He protected millions of people with his own hands while you were having fun in your palace, what right do you have to treat him as a traitor? His soldiers even died protecting this land. Are your dog’s eyes really blinded?"

The soldiers of the NPC army belonging to Eminentis City and Eternal Wind City looked at Xie Feng with a grateful look. The emperor’s words had made them angry but there was nothing they could do about it; after all, no one liked to be treated as traitors. Least of all them, who had already died once to protect mankind.

The king looked at Xie Feng with complicated eyes before sighing and shook his head, "Shiva, please release the emperor his majesty..."

No matter how bad his attitude was, the reality was that Xuan Liuxian was the emperor of this continent and the highest authority; besides this, mankind really needed him as he was the only one capable of facing truly powerful beings.

"Don’t worry, we will naturally let him go." Xie Feng nodded before looking at the emperor with narrowed eyes and saying in a deep voice, "But before that, I want you to apologize to everyone present for your previous attitude."

"You want this seat to apologize?!" Xuan Liuxian looked at the young man in front of him as if he was crazy before bursting out laughing and saying, "Hilarious! When your mages lose all their mana, this seat will break free from this damn magic spell and wipe the floor with all of you! Hahaha, it’s not like you can kill me anyway. With your junk attacks, such a thing is impossible!"

Xie Feng slowly nodded and chuckled as he said, "Indeed. When the mage mana runs out, it would be only natural for you to be able to escape. But there are free people here who can go buy mana potions at the stores in Eminentis City and Eternal Wind City... Emperor your majesty, are you sure you want to stay here until our mages’ mana runs out?"

"You..." Xuan Liuxian’s face turned ugly as if he had eaten something bad.

Indeed. Mages could not maintain a spell indefinitely as the consumption of mana would force them to stop at some point and their potion reserves would naturally come to an end. However, as Xie Feng had just said; with the amount of players there were, the earth mages did not need to stop as supplies of mana would always arrive endlessly.

Of course, Xuan Liuxian knew that King Hu Yi would not allow such a thing since if he disappeared for so long the people of Grandeux City would be alerted that something was wrong. However, the emperor did not want to lie prostrate on the ground like a rat for who knew how long.

"Therefore, I propose a deal." Xie Feng’s voice continued, "It is also not good for us to let our mages stay here for so long since they also have their own lives in our world and while they would probably agree to work for large sums of money, I think there is a better way to end with all this."

Seeing that the emperor was looking at him with mild interest Xie Feng slowly explained, "Since you think we are weak trash, how about you take on our strongest player in a one on one duel?"

As Xie Feng’s words left his mouth, the battlefield remained silent for a second before a series of gasps echoed in sync. Regardless of whether it was NPC or player, everyone looked at him with wide eyes.

This proposal... Wasn’t it a little too wild?

"Hahahaha!" Xuan Liuxian couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at Xie Feng as if he was a lunatic before looking at King Hu Yi: "Hu Yi, these are the intelligent humans you were talking about earlier?"

King Hu Yi also didn’t know how to respond and looked at Xie Feng in disbelief... Who was the strongest player? The king naturally knew, but hadn’t he already exhausted all his powerful skills against the Abyssal Dragon? How was Shiva supposed to take on the Human Emperor, the strongest human being in the entire Adastreia Continent?

"Do you accept or not? If you are scared you can simply recede." Xie Feng ignored everyone’s gaze and continued to provoke the emperor.

Xuan Liuxian’s laughter stopped before he looked at Xie Feng with an indifferent and ice-cold gaze before saying word for word, " Alright... I’ll take it upon myself to show you how stupid and meaningless your arrogance is and how meaningless your efforts are."

Xie Feng chuckled before looking at Yang Tian.

"Li’er, let him go." Yang Tian looked at his cousin and asked her to release the emperor.

"Tsk." Yang Li’er clicked her tongue and looked at the emperor with hatred. Although reluctantly she ordered the earth mages to stop the magic spell.

None of them feared that the emperor would suddenly go mad and start a massacre. The reason? Because although Xuan Liuxian was extremely arrogant, he was an emperor; he knew that if he went back on his word to his subordinates all his credibility would sweep to the ground and he would be treated as a coward who did not dare to fight against a player.

Losing the pressure of gravity, Xuan Liuxian slowly stood up and dusted off his imperial robe before injecting mana into it. A golden cloak surrounded him and a fierce look crossed his face.

Previously, due to his arrogance and confidence, he had failed to keep his imperial robe’s skill that protected him from magic spells active, which caused him to suffer the greatest embarrassment of his life. But now, such a thing would never happen again.

Although Xuan Liuxian wanted to tear all the ants before him into pieces, he looked at Xie Feng with a smile that was not a smile and asked: "So? Who is the strongest player among you? This seat will show that person the difference in power between us both!"

"Heh..." Xie Feng sneered and was about to reply when a tsunami of voices blocked him.

"Shiva!"

"Shiva!"

"Shiva!"

...

The voices of over two million players thundered noisily as they raised their swords high, announcing the name of the strongest player.

At this moment it didn’t matter if Xie Feng was the enemy of many of the guilds present, the reality was that most of the players secretly admired him. Now that the strongest player and the strongest human on this continent were going to fight, it was obvious who they would support.

"Crush that dog emperor!"

"Teach him to respect us! We players are not his subjects!"

...

...

Xie Feng gently shook his head before looking at Emperor Xuan Liuxian and slowly saying, "There you go."
