576 The Prophecy of The World’s End

As for whether the four great empires would agree to this deal, Lin Qiye did not doubt it.

The answer was a definite yes.

Now, the demon nests were gradually emerging in the four great empires.

All the countries were more or less attacked by demons.

The one that suffered the most losses was Country Xu. In just a few days, the demons had almost attacked the capital.

Such a major event quickly caused a stir in the secular world.

Correspondingly, the higher-ups of the various countries were deeply shocked by Lin Qiye, who had resolved the crisis.

Under such circumstances, Lin Qiye’s offer to trade assets for their safety would not be rejected.

The only question was, what price was the countries willing to pay?

In Shang Empire’s capital, the imperial city’s meeting hall.

Over a hundred of the empire’s upper echelons were gathered and were in an intense discussion.

“We can confirm that the Holy Infant Temple Master is from the Heavenly God Palace. Many people in Country Xu witnessed him being taken away by the emissaries of the Heavenly God Palace. He must have done a great job eliminating the evil and returned to receive his reward!”

“That’s right. It seems the Heavenly God Palace is also preparing to come out and fight against the demons. The prophecy of the end of the world can be explained!”

“So what if the Heavenly God Palace steps in? Have they ever cared about the life and death of the secular world all these years? The dynasties have changed for hundreds of generations, from the first thousand kingdoms to the last four empires. Have they ever interfered? Even if they appear this time, it’s only to protect themselves. Doesn’t that mean our lives are still in the hands of the heavens?”

“Don’t be so pessimistic, alright? Since the Heavenly God Palace has appeared, what threat can the demons pose? When all their experts come out, they’ll be able to kill those demons easily!”

“I don’t think so. Since even the Heavenly God Palace can’t sit still with the prophecy, it means that this crisis is worthy of the word ‘catastrophe!'”

…

The hall was in an uproar. Some thought the demons were nothing in front of the Heavenly God Palace, while others thought the demons were more terrifying than they had imagined.

“Silence!”

Just as the crowd was in a heated argument, a stern scolding suddenly came from the main seat of the hall.

The ministers fell silent and turned their heads.

“Making a ruckus in front of His Majesty. What a disgrace!”

A middle-aged man standing next to the main seat had a fierce expression. He was clearly displeased.

Seeing that he was mad, none of the officials dared to make a sound. They all waited carefully for the emperor to speak.

On the main seat, a tall and muscular man, much taller than the ministers in the hall, slowly stood up.

This person was the Shang Emperor, Huyan Meng.

“I didn’t expect so many idiots among the pillars of my Shang Empire.”

Huyan Meng’s face had a trace of anger but also regret.

The officials were all terrified and knelt on the spot.

In the past, whenever their emperor acted so, it meant someone was in trouble.

However, it was a little special this time.

Huyan Meng wanted to get rid of the parasites in the high-level officials, but he knew now was not the time.

It was not because he was concerned about the authority of the ministers.

He was different from the Queen of Country Xu. The entire Great Shang was under his control.

The officials were merely tools that served him. As long as he wanted to, he could change them as he pleased.

However, the threat of the demons was too serious, and he had no time to deal with them.

“Your Majesty, they are just frogs in the well. They don’t know how powerful those demons are. You can’t blame them.”

The middle-aged man standing next to Huyan Meng spoke up for the ministers.

Huyan Meng glanced at him, his expression unruffled. He only snorted and said to the ministers in the hall, “You guys are too comfortable. Maybe I should send you to the front lines to see what a real demon is!”

He had heard the discussion of the ministers just now. Many were certain the demons were nothing in front of the Heavenly God Palace.

But Huyan Meng thought differently.

After all, he was an ace in the Celestial Realm and had lived for nearly 10,000 years. His understanding of the Heavenly God Palace was far from what these ordinary people who only knew flattery could compare with.

However, even though he knew how powerful the Heavenly God Palace was, he didn’t think they could crush the army of demons.

He had gone to the front lines to fight against the demon army.

His opponent was merely a demon at the Earth Immortal Level, but he couldn’t gain any advantage in a head-on confrontation.

Even that demon at the Earth Immortal Level seemed to be on par with him with the help of his army.

In the past, no one would have dared to think about fighting a Celestial with the strength of an Earth Immortal.

And yet, the demons had done it.

Of course, it wasn’t the reason why Huyan Meng was afraid of demons.

What scared him was an unexpected piece of information.

When the demon was fighting against him, it unintentionally revealed a portion of their clan’s inner secrets.

For example, a demon nest with an Earth Immortal Level demon guarding it could only be considered a medium-grade nest in the demon race.

Furthermore, there seemed to be quite a several demon nests in the race. There might have been nests hidden everywhere in the secular world.

The demons had prepared for countless years not just to occupy the secular world.

The Heavenly God Palace, hidden in the secret realm, seemed to be their real target.

Huyan Meng had always regarded the Heavenly God Palace as a Holy Land and superior existence.
