Outside Of Time

1367 Empress

….

Now, everything had an answer.

Why was it that with the curse of the Human Emperor’s blood, the target of the black curse thread wasn’t the Human Emperor but the depths of the Ancient Sovereign Planet?

Why did the pentagonal altar have Mystic War’s coffin and shrine during the godhood ritual?

Why was it that when Xu Qing took out the lantern, the corpse aura rose from the five coffins and transformed into a palm with five fingers instead of four?

The Eleventh Prince’s actions were so treacherous, but despite the Human Emperor’s coldness, he didn’t attack him or suppress him from the start. It was all the attitude of a parent.

The Emperor only killed the Sky Devouring Emperor’s soul fragment that possessed the Tenth Prince. As for the Tenth Prince, he wasn’t injured at all.

Everything was answered the moment the Human Emperor took off the skin mask.

This was because she wasn’t Mystic War!

She was Mystic War’s Dao companion and the mother of the Eleventh Prince and Ning Yan. In fact, with her status back then, she was just a step away from being officially recognized as the empress.

At that moment, everyone on the Ancient Sovereign Planet, the ministers outside the Ancient Sovereign Planet, and even the cultivators from the imperial city who were paying attention to this place felt their hearts pounding and minds buzzing.

The shock from this matter had exceeded their imagination and understanding.

This should have been impossible.

This was because regardless of whether it was the Human Emperor’s words and actions in his daily life, it was impossible for there to be no flaws.

Even if those habits and temperament could really be perfectly imitated, when the pentagonal altar appeared and Mystic War’s coffin appeared, no one had any doubts.

Instead, they instinctively felt that Mystic War’s coffin was empty.

This was an extremely terrifying concept.

This was especially so when… five streams of corpse aura rose from the five coffins, but no one still wondered why…

It was as though the fact that the Human Emperor wasn’t Mystic War was covered up by sastonishing power and blocked from the world’s knowledge.

This made everyone have a reasonable explanation for everything that had happened previously.

Until now.

The veil of understanding was lifted by the Human Emperor.

Now that the truth was out, the shock it caused was naturally enormous.

Gods could silently obstruct and change everyone’s understanding, but they would have to be experts among high gods. Also, there was another existence who could also do it.

Moreover, him doing it would make it even more flawless.

That was… the Sword Holding Great Emperor!

This also explained why the Sword Holding Great Emperor had acknowledged the Human Emperor from the start and why Xu Qing’s Emperor Sword didn’t move against the Human Emperor.

With her appearance, everything about her was acknowledged by the Sword Holding Great Emperor!

This thought not only rose in Xu Qing’s mind but also erupted in everyone’s minds.

As for what this peerlessly talented woman went through and the twists and turns between her and Mystic War, whether Mystic War helped her in this or she truly died from being devoured and was resurrected, and by what means she becthe Emperor, it was unclear.

Or perhaps, she had faked her death to replace the Human Emperor from the start…

No one knew the truth about this.

It becan enigma.

However, amidst the horror of the ministers and the continuous rumbling in their minds, as well as the fear and uneasiness about the future that followed, three people had normal expressions.

The first was the silent Grand Chancellor on the Ancient Sovereign Planet.

The old man walked out and knelt down in front of the Human Emperor.

“Greetings, Human Emperor!”

The second person was the old eunuch with the Nine Worlds Soul Accumulation cultivation beside the Human Emperor. He lowered his head and knelt down as well.

“Greetings, Human Emperor!”

The third person was someone who exceeded everyone’s expectations but when they thought about it carefully, it was reasonable. It was none other than… King Zhen Yan.

His expression was calm as he walked beside the Eleventh Prince and arrived in front of the Human Emperor. When he looked at the Human Emperor’s face, his eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence. Finally, he lowered his head and knelt down.

“Greetings, Human Emperor!”

He had actually never betrayed the human race!

Everything was just cooperation.

This was because this was a trap.

This was a trap set up by this talented girl who had replaced Mystic War many years ago.

When she started preparing for the godhood ritual, she knew that such behavior was definitely intolerable by many forces. Hence, she had been hiding her combat strength.

She couldn’t reveal her peak Ruler cultivation. Even if the nonhuman races invaded, even if the human race was in danger, unless the race’s survival was at stake…

If she revealed her peak Ruler cultivation, what awaited the human race would be the arrival of the gods.

Gods wouldn’t allow the Wanggu to have a peak Ruler.

Even if she could only display this peak cultivation within the human race and was only a half-step peak Ruler outside the human race’s territory.

It would still be a great taboo.

Hence, she could only endure it.

She was waiting for an opportunity. An opportunity that allowed her to have a way to control the situation even if she displayed her combat strength.

Hence, she ignored the Ning brothers and made them fend for themselves. She allowed their resentment toward the Human Emperor Mystic War to beca point of attraction for the nonhuman races.

She had to capture all these forces in one fell swoop when the tcame.

At this moment, she succeeded.

As the Grand Chancellor, the old eunuch, and King Zhen Yan paid their respects, the ministers had a myriad of thoughts in their hearts. All of them had complicated gazes, but in the end… they all lowered their heads.

A storm also rumbled in Xu Qing’s mind.

This scene was indeed the last guess that appeared in his mind. However, when the truth was revealed in front of him, the shock was still incomparably intense.

What caused even more waves in his mind was that this mother of Ning Yan was actually a peak Ruler.

Xu Qing sighed softly.

This was because he thought of the presence of impending death on the Sword Holding Great Emperor when he first arrived at the Imperial City.

Everything seemed to have an answer now.

“Could it be that the Great Emperor used ssecret art, support, or inheritance to give his cultivation to this Human Emperor?”

“As for the Emperor Sword, he gave it to me…”

Xu Qing didn’t know if his analysis was the truth. At that moment, he raised his head and stared at the statue of the Great Emperor outside the Ancient Sovereign Planet.

The Eleventh Prince was dumbfounded. His body trembled and he seemed to have lost all his strength. His expression was blank until the Human Emperor’s voice rang out.

“Stop fooling around and step back.”

The Eleventh Prince becexcited because of this sentence. He lowered his head and tears of joy flowed down uncontrollably.

This child’s temper completely dissipated at this moment.

The Human Emperor, who had taken off her skin mask, turned around.

Her eyes revealed determination and boldness. Her expression was confident and calm. Every move she made was filled with strength and determination. It was as though she was using her resolve to tell the world that she was the sovereign of this world and had the strength to change everything.

“Ministers, do you have any objections tobeing the emperor?”

A dignified voice rang out.

The surroundings fell silent. A few breaths later, the ministers inside and outside the Ancient Sovereign Plbowed.

“Greetings, Human Emperor!”

The sound was deafening and earth-shattering.

At the next instant, the Ancient Sovereign Plrumbled. All the fortune of the human race churned and descended on the Human Emperor, enveloping the surroundings and augmenting her, forming an illusory sovereign crown that landed on her head.

Fortune had accepted her already, and now, it acknowledged her once again!

At that moment, the Human Emperor was the center of attention. She raised her head on the heavenly altar and faced the heavens with her true appearance.

“After making the offerings to the ancestor, it’s tto make offerings to the heavens!”

Her eyes emitted a sharp light.

Confidence erupted from her entire body.

At this moment, the first part of this grand ceremony ended and the second part… officially began!
