He placed his hands behind his back and said, “This is my chance! The meeting held by King Yi is the best time for me to grab onto this chance firmly!”

In the fortress, Fu Li reported, “My lord, Yan Sovereign Jiang Yiqi is here, he’s already outside of the fortress!”

Zhong Yue’s expression changed right away and he said, “Let’s go welcome him.”

Outside the fortress, Yan Sovereign Jiang Yiqi was approaching with Shi Tuo and Xing Tian behind him.

After not seeing him for such a long time, Xing Tian was now a towering muscular young man and he was riding on the back of Shi Tuo. For Shi Tuo, he was bestowed with a body by Feng Xiaozhong, this body was a body created by Feng Xiaozhong with the power of Creator, but because of this, he became Xing Tian’s mount.

Whereas for Jiang Yiqi, he appeared to be much younger than before, as if he returned to his middle age from an old man, now taking the form of a younger and confident middle-aged man!

From Creator to Imperial Emperor level, his cultivation level increased tremendously, his lifespan extended, especially after cultivating the [Zhu Long Heavenly Mystic Art] that filled his body with vibrant life essence.

Zhong Yue walked towards him and just as he was about to say something, a voice sounded, “King Yi, I came uninvited but I sincerely hope to participate in the General Assembly of Future Monarchs, would you please indulge my selfish request?”

Zhong Yue turned around and he was a little stunned upon seeing a man and a chariot approaching slowly.

Zhong Yue’s eyes twitched and he said politely, “Brother, have we met before?”

The young man stood up, “I’ve met you but King Yi hasn’t yet.”

Zhong Yue nodded and he asked again when he was about to write a new invitation letter, “Brother, your name?”

“Xuan Ji.”

In an instant, the invitation was done and Zhong Yue smiled, “Alright, I will be waiting for you with open arms during the future monarch meeting, Brother Xuan Ji.”

The young man entered the weird-looking chariot after keeping the invitation away and he left.

“Brother Xuan Ji!”

The young man turned his head around, finding a mirror facing at his face in Zhong Yue’s hand and the young man smiled towards the mirror, “What’s the matter, Mister Yi?”

Zhong Yue stared at the face reflected in the mirror and shook his head, “Nothing, don’t forget to come ten days later!”

In the mirror, Xuan Ji had no face, no eyes, no nose, no mouth, he was entirely faceless, just like a blank sheet of paper.

Zhong Yue turned around and asked Fu Li, “Fu Li, do you still remember how he looked?”

Fu Li was caught off guard by this answer and he replied with a shook, “Strange, as soon as he turned away, I forgot…”

Zhong Yue walked towards Jiang Yiqi and smirked, “Heaven’s messengers have no appearance. Mister Bi Luo is like that and he is also like that. The yellow light in Ancestral Court is most likely him! Heh, I’ve never gotten the chance to beat up Heaven’s disciple yet!”

“Mister, I did not wish to be here.”

Jiang Yiqi’s voice suddenly sounded in Zhong Yue’s mind, “I had no choice because Imperial Emperor Xian Tian wanted me here. Apart from attending the meeting, I am also ordered to enter the battlefield to serve Xian Tian Palace. There wasn’t an option.”

Zhong Yue’s heart tightened and he welcomed Jiang Yiqi happily, “Did King Zi Guang say anything to you?”

When they both got close to each other, Zhong Yue burst out laughing and hugged Jiang Yiqi. They then walked into the fortress happily together, showing not even a sign of uneasiness.

As a human who once sought protection under Jiang Yiqi and served under him before being recruited by Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, there was nothing suspicious when Mister Yi was still on good terms with Jiang Yiqi.

“King Zi Guang only told me to be careful,” replied Jiang Yiqi.

Hearing this, Zhong Yue knew that he had wrongly accused Jiang Yiqi. He did not wish to attend the future monarch meeting, let alone the war. And he was not someone who had brawn but lacked brains.

He was here because Imperial Emperor Xian Tian wanted it!

And King Zi Guang must have known what was coming by telling Jiang Yiqi to be careful. Perhaps, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian wanted to kill Jiang Yiqi!

After becoming the Imperial Emperor, Jiang Yiqi was the first Imperial Emperor among the Zi Wei Galaxy and 3,000 Six Paths Worlds’ human race with the exception of the wild humans in the ancient universe.

As the Human Sovereign, Jiang Yiqi had a very sensitive position, and the fact that he was now an Imperial Emperor had raised the brows of many, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was one of them.

This time, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian might be aiming to kill Jiang Yiqi through another’s hand by sending him into the battlefield!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will definitely have me kill Jiang Yiqi! He is extremely wary of the human race, back then, it was him that sealed the Ancestral Star with the Skymetrical Scroll. It was also him that kept close surveillance on the Nong Sovereign until he died of old age! And now, he is all alerted again after Jiang Yiqi became an Imperial Emperor!

Zhong Yue thought suddenly, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had always been quite easy on Jiang Yiqi. But out of nowhere, he wanted Jiang Yiqi on the battlefield and the future monarch meeting, knowing that he would place Jiang Yiqi in a dangerous position by doing so. Could it be that his demonic form that reached the monarch level first has full control over him right now, resulting in the sudden change in his behavior?

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s celestial true body was wise and measured, carrying out duties and acting like a wise and transparent leader. In this form, if he wanted to kill Jiang Yiqi, he wouldn’t even kill him through others’ hands for this was not his style.

Besides, when Zhong Yue was done forging Tian Pan, the black robe was controlled by the Imperial Emperor and with the behavior of his celestial true form, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian would not try to steal his subordinate’s possession.

Now, it seemed like this was all the doings of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s demon true body!

If so, where was his celestial true body? Why did it not show up?

Ever since the beginning, demons and celestials stood on opposite sides. They could never live in harmony with each other. Now that the celestial is gone and the demon is ruling, is Imperial Emperor Xian Tian still the one I know? Could his celestial true body be….

Zhong Yue shook his head and entered the fortress with Jiang Yiqi while he said, “Now that you are in my fortress, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will have to go through me first if he wants to kill you. If you are protected by me, no one will dare to touch you!”

Jiang Yiqi smiled back, “I am an Imperial Emperor right now, my strength is very different from my old power and there aren’t many that can kill me now. Mister, if there is a war, I suppose I can contribute a little.”

Zhong Yue frowned slightly. Jiang Yiqi had, after all, been affected by [Zhu Long Heavenly Mystic Art], he was infused by more confidence and sheer will, though these changes were what Zhong Yue hoped to see, he was unsure if this was a good or a bad thing at this time.

Fu Li smiled, “A chicken den will never breed a phoenix, my lord, if you keep protecting the Human Sovereign under you, how is he supposed to rise as the leader of the human race?”

Zhong Yue was stunned by this comment, frustrations he set aside and he smiled, “Good! In that case, you will now lead an army of the human celestials. Now, go and handpick some human celestial beings and recruit them.”

To Jiang Yiqi, there was no greater news that he received in a long time.

Zhong Yue then glanced at Xing Tian and Shi Tuo, Xing Tian dared to speak a word and Shi Tuo on the other hand, smiled, “Second master, if we are protected by you, we will become one of the chickens in the chicken den instead of the phoenix.”

His words had Xing Tian nodding quickly and the speechless Zhong Yue said, “Just follow behind Human Sovereign.”

As the time arrived, Zhong Yue ordered his men to set up the Heavenly King Altar, future monarch boards hung high in the skies. Massive altars floated above the fortress, shining in gold, and the many powerful individuals turned the atmosphere lively.

This grand gathering was the gathering of future monarchs, the amount of gods attending this meeting was many folds larger than the previous one, from deities to Imperial Emperors, most of those that possessed the talent of a monarch were gathered in the fortress!

Though the war for the throne had them all becoming enemies with each other, there were still more than ten thousand of them in the fortress!

For upon missing this meeting, they would have had to wait another hundred years!

“Hahaha, Yi Clan, I’ve arrived!”

Suddenly, a proud laughter was heard, raging demonic cloud rolled in the skies, turned into a platform where demonic gods stood on while heavenly demonic ladies performed demonic yet beautiful melodies, danced around and Yangguan Yuan and the other demons from the ancient universe sat on the platform.

This time, thousands of demonic young ones from the ancient universe were in attendance, each of whom was terrifyingly powerful and extraordinary.

“Where are the brats from the celestial races!”

When the platform was arriving at Heaven Breaching Fortress, Yangguang Yuan stood up, his body enlarged, casting a shadow over the fortress. The many celestial beings in the fortress were obviously provoked by him.

Yangguang Yuan burst out laughing, “Come on, don’t be angry! I did not mean you, I am referring to those scrubs from the ancient universe! We planned to get rid of them halfway but we did not find any of them! These brats really are slippery!”

The expressions of the many celestial beings darkened even more hearing this but Yangguang Yuan gave little attention to him, he descended from the skies and smiled, “Hmmm? Heh, you little ones from Zi Wei seems to be very angry at my words? Don’t you know how powerful I am?”

“Yangguang Yuan, you were defeated by Zhu Xie and you still dare to act tough before us?” smirked Ti Mobei.

Yangguang Yuan glanced at him and smiled, “So what? He is our ancient universe’s innate evil god and that has nothing to do with Zi Wei. You trash from Zi Wei are all useless, apart from enjoying yourselves, you all know nothing and you will be all dominated by us one day!”

Just now, it was the celestial race in Zi Wei he offended but now, he fired shots at all the races in Zi Wei, enraging many!

“This fool is even more daring than me!”

Tian Xuanzi’s eyes lit up and he laughed, “He is worthy of becoming my friend!”

“You? You are also one of the scrubs in Zi Wei, don’t even think of becoming friends with me. There is no one worthy in Zi Wei that can provide a decent challenge!”

Tian Xuanzi choked on his anger and Hundun Yu couldn’t hold himself back, “You are defeated by Zhu Xie and Zhu Xie was killed by Mister Yi, we Zi Wei is not to be underestimated!”

Yangguang Yuan burst out laughing, “Hundun Clan, you dare to speak after being defeated by me? Mister Yi is also or ancient universe’s innate god in his past life, he has no relation with you Zi Wei, do you have no shame? Our ancient universe will never recognize Mister Yi as an outstanding individual nurtured by Zi Wei! I came here this time to break Mister Yi’s legend and wash away the humiliation on me!”

Suddenly, a voice was heard, “Nicely said! The gods in Zi Wei are fools that know nothing before we ancient universe!”

Zhong Yue turned around, where divine light shined brightly as thousands of ancient universe’s celestials arrived under the lead of six sovereign races’ powerful individuals. Fan Bozhu, Yu Tai, Mo Haozun, and Yao Xingyue were also among them.

Yangguang Yuan smiled, “Brats, you’re here! Come, let me crush you all!”
