Chapter 599

The mighty demonic qi surged and spread, the Immortal Demon Emperor's purple hair flew up, and his eyes instantly burst forth with endless scarlet!

The immense primordial pressure of the Heavenly Immortal surged like a tide, pressing from all directions.

"Mere mortals! How dare you couple with me and bear a daughter?!"

At this moment the Immortal Demon Emperor's fury reached its peak, his demonic emperor's might vast, his wrathful voice seeming to pierce straight into people's souls.

The void fell silent.

Only the Immortal Demon Emperor's wrathful voice remained.

A Heavenly Immortal's wrath could intimidate anyone, yet even mighty beings like the Immortal Laozi and the Immortal God Emperor looked upon the Immortal Demon Emperor with a hint of sympathy.

Nüwa actually has a reincarnated form……

Moreover, this reincarnated form coupled with a mortal of the world and gave birth to the Hell Lotus Maiden!

As expected, the Hell Lotus Maiden's origin could not be that of an ordinary person!

Ordinary mortals fundamentally lack the foundation and capital to earn the favor of heaven and earth's will, becoming the executioner who wields the slaughter blade of heaven and earth's will!

Purple demonic qi roiled, as if turning this entire transmission space conduit completely purple!

Extraordinarily demonic, merely a release of demonic qi, yet it actually affected the void, transforming the whole space conduit into his domain!

However, the Immortal God Emperor and other powerhouses paid it little heed.

They somewhat understood the Immortal Demon Emperor's fury at this moment.

Nüwa…… holds an exalted status in the Guigu Demon Cave, almost representing the most noble mother of the demon race!

Many demons, upon birth, are bathed in Nüwa's divinity, holding a certain faith‑based reverence for her.

But the Immortal Demon Emperor is quite different!

It is a love, a love from the depths of his heart; he has striven in cultivation to become the third sovereign of the Guigu Demon Cave, to truly stand beside Nüwa as a ruler.

Only then would the Immortal Demon Emperor be worthy to truly unite with the Demon Empress!

However……

Now this cruel, bloody fact tells the Immortal Demon Emperor that the reincarnated form bearing Nüwa's latent will actually married and bore a child with a mortal man of the world!

Even if she gave birth to the Hell Lotus Maiden, what of it?

The Immortal Demon Emperor raised his head and let out a long howl, space cracking inch by inch; his intense fury left him unable to restrain his true heart.

A purple giant serpent loomed in the void, as if seeking to devour heaven and earth!

At this moment the Immortal Demon Emperor felt his hair was not purple but green!

He has cultivated so hard, lifetime after lifetime, ten thousand years after ten thousand years—what for?

The Immortal Demon Emperor's eyes turned cold and ruthless, his killing intent surging wildly.

"I…… want that mortal dead, and the Hell Lotus Maiden dead!"

"As long as they die, everything can be but an illusory dream!"

The Immortal Demon Emperor said.

An illusory serpent's tail stretched across the void; Nüwa—or rather Zhang Ya—had her black hair flying, her figure in an embroidered gold‑lotus cheongsam swaying slowly.

Her gaze showed little fluctuation, utterly cold.

Such eyes, Li Che had never seen in Zhang Ya before, yet undeniably, at this moment Zhang Ya's bearing was wholly different, possessing the fierce aura of a true sovereign.

"You three…… go suppress Qitian and seize the Hell Lotus Maiden."

"As for Nüwa's side, I will block it!"

The Immortal Demon Emperor's mighty purple serpent coiled across the void, the void itself emitting a groan as if about to be pierced and shattered.

The phantom of the purple serpent twisted and coiled wildly!

He took a step, like a divine spear that pierces all, shooting forth toward Nüwa.

Nüwa's eyes were deep, her jade‑white palm lightly lifted.

She suddenly slapped forward.

The black hole behind her suddenly began to spin.

A cracking sound rang out incessantly; the mighty, resilient transmission space conduit became extraordinarily fragile at this moment.

"Nüwa! What are you doing?!"

The Immortal Demon Emperor loomed forth, his fingers drilling, a spear appearing; he swept it out fiercely, the terrifying spear light like cosmic aurora tearing through the void.

But a single push from Nüwa's palm caused it to explode outright, unable to advance even an inch.

And the black hole behind Nüwa surged downward, like a dark hole devouring all, swallowing every bit of spear light!

Nüwa strode forward, demonic qi raging heaven‑high, the immortal primordial source shaking the void like a tide, shooting upward.

The demonic qi on the Immortal Demon Emperor's body was suppressed at this moment.

A wave of Nüwa's hand seemed to tear apart all the purple demonic qi filling myriad miles of void, as if making that enormous purple serpent writhe in the void.

The purple demonic qi boiled and exploded, the Immortal Demon Emperor's face shifting repeatedly.

Merely a reincarnated form, yet it could recover to such a formidable level.

This is no ordinary reincarnated form!

It is nearly indistinguishable from Nüwa's true body!

Roar——

The Immortal Demon Emperor trembled, as if countless demon roars echoed through the heavens; he is the ruler of the Guigu Demon Cave, though not yet at the level of the Two Sovereigns!

Yet in status he is the true leader of the demon race in the Guigu Demon Cave!

Every move he makes is backed by the myriad demon will of the Guigu Demon Cave!

Even now, as he faces Nüwa, those myriad demon will still stand with him, driving his power, supporting his surging aura!

He knows that Nüwa's present display of a reincarnated form is to intervene and save the Hell Lotus Maiden.

But Nüwa wounded his heart, and as the ruler of the Strange Demon Cave, she actually chose to stand on the side of the Abyssal Lotus Camp.

He doesn't care what schemes Nüwa has.

The mother who reincarnated as the Abyssal Lotus Maiden—this kind of self‑abase behavior—makes the Immortal Demon Emperor extremely angry.

He will make Nüwa's schemes come to nothing.

He wants the Abyssal Lotus Maiden to be suppressed and captured this time, causing Nüwa's plan to rescue the Abyssal Lotus Maiden to fail.

Boom—

At the moment the Immortal Demon Emperor makes a move.

Immortal God Emperor, Immortal Golden Cicada, and Old Lord Immortal—the three supremely powerful, exalted Heavenly Immortals—had their eyes darting, projecting onto the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.

The entire Heaven-Earth Chessboard seemed to begin trembling slightly.

The Heavenly Equal Armor radiated an ultimate splendid light, and he couldn't help but feel his body tense slightly, even though the Heavenly Equal Armor had fused with five Heaven-Earth ancient symbols.

But now, the material limit of the forged Heavenly Equal Armor has been reached; it can no longer be maintained and will soon shatter.

Therefore, facing the Three Sovereign Heavenly Immortals again, the Heavenly Equal Armor simply cannot hold up.

The Will of Heavenly Equal once again prepares to burn, becoming a means to ignite the Heavenly Equal Armor to its peak state!

Li Che's gaze sank and focused, staring fixedly at the distant battlefield.

There, his wife Zhang Ya was locked in combat with the Immortal Demon Emperor.

Zhang Ya… actually is Nüwa!

Li Che's heart pounded nonstop; he rubbed Xixi's head, and though shocked, he began to feel it was normal.

The identity of the Abyssal Lotus Maiden is special; Li Che also didn't think an ordinary girl from a common family could develop into the Abyssal Lotus Maiden.

There must surely be someone behind the scenes pushing things forward…

And why would they push Xixi?

Everything leaves traces to follow, as if it were the operation of the Heaven-Earth will in the dark.

And now, Li Che has found the reason for the explanation.

"Dad…"

"Mom, can we win?"

"Four Sovereign Heavenly Immortals, such a lineup… Mom, even if you are Nüwa reborn, you probably can't hold them off, right?"

Xixi pressed her lips and couldn't help but say.

Yeah…

Can we hold them off?

Li Che's eyes sank and focused, his inner blood surged and boiled, wishing he could rush out to fight side by side with his wife.

But he, Li Che, is ultimately of common birth.

Now, between him and those Heavenly Immortals, there still exists an unbridgeable chasm, even with the bond tied to his daughter.

Many Dao fruits' blessings.

But it is still far short.

Li Che suddenly thought: could the bond between him and Xixi be related to Nüwa?

But probably not…

Li Che couldn't help but think of the Vast Wilderness Dao Tree World he had entered; it could be said that he almost grew up together with the Dao Tree.

The Dao Tree, like him, began growing from insignificance.

But if it were Nüwa, Nüwa started out already high, so she shouldn't need to be cultivated from childhood.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly.

The voice of the Will of Heavenly Equal echoed inside the cabin of the Heavenly Equal Armor.

"Good lad… looks like I, Old Sun, don't have to risk my life again!"

The Will of Heavenly Equal fluctuated and spoke.

Li Che's heart jolted.

He suddenly looked up, his glabella trembled, his flesh and blood suddenly split, and his Starlight Pupil blazed forth with brilliant light.

But seen, within the spatial passage.

That Immortal Demon Emperor, who had gone all out in extreme fury to block Nüwa, was actually suppressed!

But seen, Nüwa in Zhang Ya's likeness, her black hair flying, the void behind her shattering explosively.

Her pallid five fingers pressed together like a blade, she suddenly swung out, and the shattered void actually burst forth with endless deathly qi!

Deathly qi!

Rumble—

Nüwa's black hole behind her slammed downward, deathly qi rolling out and spreading.

The Immortal Demon Emperor's heart jolted; he only felt that black hole instantly become immensely huge, actually enveloping his very form!

"This is…"

"Netherworld power?!"

The Immortal Demon Emperor let out a fierce roar, actually transforming into his true form—a colossal purple sky‑reaching giant serpent, millions of zhang tall, immensely huge, constantly struggling!

However, strands of deathly qi drifted down, actually turning into clanking chains that bound this Heavenly Immortal's huge body and suppressed it!

Stepping on the golden war chariot, clad in golden armor, leaning on the golden giant sword, the Immortal God Emperor furrowed his brows.

"Nüwa! You're crazy!"

"How dare you collude with the Netherworld! Borrow Netherworld power!"

"You have committed a great taboo of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

"He deserves death!"

"The Immortal God Emperor's overwhelming majesty exploded as he roared, the golden divine sword in his hand shooting up, everything around him seeming as if the heavens were collapsing!"

"The terrifying sword light seemed as if it could cleave heaven and earth!"

"Zhang Ya, taking the form of the Nüwa Empress, glanced over and slapped her palm; above the Immortal God Emperor's head, the void instantly ruptured, revealing a massive black hole!"

"Deathly aura cascaded down, the clanking chains echoing without end, actually suppressing the terrifying Heavenly Immortal origin erupting from his body!"

"The Immortal God Emperor's expression changed abruptly."

"This is... the will of the Netherworld?!"

"The Nüwa Empress's long legs stepped through the void, behind her seeming to drag a serpentine tail tens of thousands of li long, graceful and winding."

"Her gaze swept over and landed on the body of Immortal Laozi."

"Immortal Laozi felt a surge of apprehension, the diamond pestle in his hand hurling forth, silver light piercing the air, instantly expanding to carve out a vacuum around him."

"At the same time, the Seal-Heaven Whisk was flung out, turning into countless steel needles that pierced the void, seeking to seize dominion over the entire space."

"However……"

"Zhang Ya, in the form of the Nüwa Empress, her black hair flying, slapped out another palm."

"The void above Immortal Laozi's head collapsed downward."

"A massive black hole reappeared, sharing the same fate as the Immortal Demon Emperor and the Immortal God Emperor."

"Immortal Laozi was also bound and enveloped by the black hole's chains!"

"A will of heaven and earth not belonging to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths surged forth from the black hole."

"That is the power of the Netherworld's will!"

"Old Master's face twitched, the seven-colored divine wheel behind him bursting forth with brilliant rainbow light!"

"Nüwa Empress, you guard the Netherworld's mouth, confronting the Netherworld Sovereign... yet you actually collude with the Netherworld, drawing its will into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; this act will surely invite the fixation of heaven and earth's will! Your incarnation and your true self shall suffer eternal calamity!"

"Quickly, withdraw your hands!"

"Immortal Laozi said in a deep voice."

"However, the Nüwa Empress completely ignored him."

"Her gaze fell upon the Immortal Golden Cicada."

"Behind the golden cicada, the primordial golden cicada flickered with dazzling golden light, the origin of the Heavenly Immortal trembling as she pressed her palms together and let out a soft sigh."

"Surely, above his head, a black hole appeared, as if a great hand formed from the Netherworld's will came crashing down, seizing the golden cicada in its grasp!"

"Boom—"

"The entire space-transfer channel instantly trembled, ripples of energy spreading outward in concentric waves; the countless raging energies made the channel feel as if it could not bear the load, on the verge of bursting."

"Thus, the situation on the field instantly reversed!"

"The four Supreme Heavenly Immortals were all actually suppressed by the Nüwa Empress!"

"At this moment, the scene left all the watching powerhouses plunged into dead silence, even the three Earthly Immortals who had rushed to the scene remaining silent."

"Originally, they had felt regret at being unable to intervene in such a battle of Heavenly Immortals, but now they felt a sense of relief in their hearts."

"Fortunate that they had not become involved."

"Otherwise, they would now be facing the Nüwa Empress's terrifying means of suppression!"

"Four black holes hovered in the void, annihilating everything."

"The black holes were too profound, with deathly aura rolling forth."

"The four Heavenly Immortals seemed to be pulled along the black holes into the Netherworld, unable to free themselves, completely suppressed."

"The terrifying Heavenly Immortal origin flowed along the black holes, yet remained suppressed, unable to spill out."

"The Nüwa Empress's figure was graceful, her hands forming seals; terrifying seals, as if ancient glyphs woven with deathly aura were swirling."

"Those glyphs seemed to come from the Netherworld, belonging to the ancient symbols of the Netherworld's heaven and earth."

"Her black hair flew about."

"After pulling the four Heavenly Immortals into the Netherworld domain, her gaze flickered slightly, sweeping toward the Equal-to-Heaven Armor."

"There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes."

"\"Xixi, Mother may not be able to accompany you for a while. \""

"\"You must grow up safe and sound. \""

"Her voice was soft, echoing in the channel, endlessly reverberating."

"Inside the Equal-to-Heaven Armor."

"Xixi's face instantly showed an anxious expression."

"Li Che also clenched his fists, his face showing astonished anger."

"The Equal-to-Heaven Will sighed."

"\"As expected of the Nüwa Empress, she truly has mettle... \""

"\"With a single incarnation, she restrained the four Heavenly Immortals, borrowing the power of the Netherworld's heaven and earth to drag them all into the Netherworld... Even if the four Heavenly Immortals wanted to easily break the Netherworld's seal and return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it would not be an easy task. \""

"The Equal-to-Heaven sighed."

"Li Che abruptly raised his head, looking toward the Equal-to-Heaven Will; beneath his white jade mask, his eyes narrowed."

"\"Senior Equal-to-Heaven... what will become of the Nüwa Empress? \""

"Li Che didn't care how the four Heavenly Immortals would fare."

"He cared only for his own wife."

"The Equal-to-Heaven pondered for a moment, then said: \"To seal and suppress the four Heavenly Immortals naturally requires a considerable price. \""

"\"That Nüwa Empress's incarnation... likely must use herself as a lock, locking the four great Heavenly Immortals, from the Netherworld's gateway back to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; I just don't know how long the seal will hold. \""

According to the immortal origin strength of Nüwa's reincarnated body, roughly it could seal… about three years.

The three major divine camps lack four Heavenly Immortals; that can be said to be a huge opportunity for our Nether Lotus Camp!

This is an opportunity created by Nüwa sacrificing herself.

Qitian said seriously.

He wasn't grinning; he also understood the relationship between Nüwa's reincarnated body and Li Che, and Xixi's relationship.

Did the former Qitian Nüwa have any lover relationship with Li Che? He didn't expect the words to come true.

But also…

If Li Che and Nüwa have no intimate relationship, how could Nüwa, given her status, allow people to easily touch her statue?

Will he die?

Li Che's lips trembled slightly as he asked the question he cared about most.

Qitian fell silent.

After a long while, he finally sighed; Qitian felt that all the sighs of his life had been exhaled enough today.

If the four Heavenly Immortals break their shackles and slaughter out of the Netherworld… then it naturally means Nüwa's reincarnated body has fallen; if it hasn't fallen, the lock won't open.

Qitian's voice was somewhat heavy.

Three years…

To be honest, it's really not that long.

But, being able to restrain and suppress four Heavenly Immortals for three years is truly unimaginable.

Of course… it's not that Nüwa herself has fallen, but this reincarnated body has; Nüwa's true body should not die, and should still be seated in charge of the Netherworld's mouth.

Qitian thought of something and spoke.

But although Nüwa's true body and this reincarnated body share consciousness, their essence is actually different…

You should be able to understand this…

Your wife is Zhang Ya, this origin reincarnated body, not Nüwa.

Li Che took a deep breath.

His heart pounded violently.

Three years of time…

Is it enough?

Li Che didn't know either.

Three years… Xixi must become very strong within three years; Xixi will definitely come back to save Mother!

Xixi clenched her fists, her gaze blazing; the Nether Lotus curse power on her seemed to seep out.

As long as Xixi becomes strong enough quickly, she can return before the four Heavenly Immortals break Mother's seal, help Mother suppress those four Heavenly Immortals, and Mother will live!

Li Che's chest shuddered violently; all his confusion seemed to dissipate like smoke at this moment!

Exactly!

Three years!

Xixi has this determination; how could Li Che possibly lack it!

Li Che clenched his fist, a Flying Thunder chess piece gripped in his palm, and then his whole body vanished inside Qitian's cabin.

Reappearing, he wore a white jade mask, his ink robe embroidered with golden lotus fluttering wildly.

He stepped through the void, step by step, arriving before that magnificent figure whose aura was vast, behind which four wheels suppressed the blurry silhouettes of Heavenly Immortals like a black hole.

The Nüwa with Zhang Ya's appearance, black hair flying, exquisite beyond compare.

Her long lashes trembled slightly as she looked at Li Che, her red lips curling into a faint arc.

Isn't it a pleasant surprise?

I also just remembered…

The former me has always been chasing, always under your protection; now… it's my turn to protect you.

Zhang Ya said softly.

Her eyes held reluctance and tenderness.

Li Che's eyes flickered; although it was Nüwa's reincarnated body, Zhang Ya was still Zhang Ya, still his wife.

The couple rose from obscurity, bringing Xixi out of the small town of Fēiléichéng all the way to their present heights.

They supported each other, looked forward to each other, grew together…

Their two hearts had long since collided in fervor, never to part.

Gazing at each other, they could each understand the other's heart.

So, Li Che, regardless of what Nüwa's reincarnated body…

He only acknowledges that Zhang Ya is his wife.

Li Che slowly raised his hand; at this moment he didn't even care about the doubtful glances of the surrounding Earthly Immortals eyeing him like tigers.

His hand fell upon Zhang Ya's exquisite face.

The icy sensation spread instantly, like ripples of a flower in the mirror, moon in the water.

That was the icy chill of death.

It spread from the skin of his fingertips throughout his body, straight into his heart, making Li Che feel a heart‑rending pain!

Xia Ya, wait for me.

Li Che said in a deep voice.

Zhang Ya smiled gently, then her gaze turned solemn.

Husband, listen well…

Taking advantage of the present, hurry to escape, then head to Prison Lotus Land; within Prison Lotus Land, seek out the 'Prison Lotus Tomb Pool'—that is the main base of the Prison Lotus Camp, the burial ground where generations of Prison Lotus women have fallen; there… Xixi can obtain the inheritance of the generations of Prison Lotus women.

In that case, Xixi will be able to accomplish the taming of the Prison Lotus Curse; the Prison Lotus Curse, in essence, is a variant of the power of Heaven and Earth's will; Xixi cannot erase this curse, she can only learn to control it.

Generations of Prison Lotus women have all tried to master it, but all failed; yet their experience can be of great help to Xixi.

Zhang Ya said.

This is what she remembered after recovering her Nüwa reincarnation body; this matter is very important.

Li Che heard the words and nodded solemnly.

"But wanting to go to Prison Lotus Land is not easy…… the Three Great Gods Camp all have powerful guardians stationed there; besides that, there are also the Three Great Two Saints Ancient Villages……"

"Husband, act with caution."

"Moreover……"

Zhang Ya looked toward Li Che.

"In Prison Lotus Land, there is still something I left for you, husband……"

"I cannot tell you what it is now; after you go to Prison Lotus Land you will know."

Li Che heard the words and took a deep breath.

Zhang Ya's body became increasingly transparent, as if merging into another world.

In Li Che's chest, the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit rang, divine ability, Penetrating the Netherworld!

Using the Penetrating the Netherworld divine ability, Li Che vaguely saw four immortals suppressed in the netherworld space.

Terrifying death qi swept; one after another Guiyi Miao rose up, continuously drawing power from the four Heavenly Immortals.

Guiyi Miao……

Li Che's heart trembled.

Is the Guiyi Miao related to the Netherworld?

Li Che didn't think much; the effect of the Penetrating the Netherworld divine ability quickly faded.

He could only vaguely see his wife Zhang Ya, alone sealing the rift in that netherworld space, transforming into a Nüwa Divine Eagle.

Li Che's mind withdrew.

And his mind had just withdrawn.

A mighty, overwhelming shout suddenly exploded!

"Stay!"

An extremely sharp divine sword suddenly sliced open the void, flying swiftly across, its sharp cutting power pointing at Li Che's neck.

Li Che's eyes narrowed.

He had been thinking about what his wife Zhang Ya left behind in Prison Lotus Land.

But he couldn't attend to it.

Now the most important thing is to escape.

Nüwa alone suppresses the four Heavenly Immortals; for at least three years, nothing will happen.

But after three years, it's uncertain.

Li Che's eyes icy and sharp; three years…… he will surely prove the Dao and become a Heavenly Immortal!

With a thought of mind and spirit, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard suddenly shifted.

The Qitian Armor directly appeared at Li Che's side.

Roar——

Qitian Will controls the Qitian Armor; five ways of Heaven and Earth Ancient Symbols ring, letting Qitian Origin boil; combat power even higher than before Qitian Peak.

The Ruyi Golden Cudgel fiercely thrust out.

Instantly, the Slaughter God Sword in the Divine Slaughter Sword Formation was struck flying.

"Go!"

Li Che stepped forward, returning to the interior cabin of the Qitian Armor.

On the Qitian Armor, billions of mechanism seals burst forth with brilliant light, facing the four Earth Immortals shooting up, he fiercely swept out a staff!

Fighting Victory Secret Technique!

One Staff Treading the Heavenly Skies!

Boom——!!!

The four Earth Immortals who came together to kill suddenly changed color; among them, three Earth Immortals under the three Heaven-Reaching God Emperors each took out three divine swords.

And the Earth Immortal guarding the Spatial Passage City Gate had his hair stand on end.

He resisted with all his might.

Thud——

The four Earth Immortals were instantly struck by the Qitian staff like meteors falling, heavily crashing onto the city gate of the Taisu Heaven, causing the entire city gate to suddenly be covered in dense cracks!

Now the Qitian Armor, inscribed with five Heaven and Earth Ancient Symbols, has restored Qitian's combat power to its peak, even slightly surpassing.

Absolutely possesses combat power comparable to the level of Heavenly Immortals.

Facing the old immortal Laozi, a veteran Heavenly Immortal, perhaps it would be quite taxing.

But facing Earth Immortals, it's rather easy.

"Go!"

Qitian Will trembled, yet did not pursue the victory!

"The four Heavenly Immortals being sealed, the other Heavenly Immortals of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will surely also sense……"

"So we must hurry; otherwise other Heavenly Immortals will rush over, this time without Nüwa's aid, being restrained would be troublesome!" Qitian Will said.

Li Che nodded slightly, not insisting.

The heart and spirit stirred.

One after another, divine condors engraved with teleportation formation patterns floated in the air, exploding with a boom.

The teleportation power of the teleportation platform was activated again.

Qi Tianjia was directly in the void passageway.

With a hum, it turned into an exceedingly fine stream of light, like light compressed to the extreme, vanishing instantly!

And at the moment Qi Tianjia disappeared,

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering angry snort exploded!

Terrifying sword light, as if cutting from the depths of the azure universe, like opening heaven and earth, possessing unparalleled ferocity!

God-Slaying Sword!

Within the space passageway, it was instantly enveloped by countless sword qi, each strand slicing the space into seams that could hardly heal.

Then, one after another, human figures flew out on their swords.

The four divine swords' sword light rotated around him.

The four earth immortals struck by Qi Tianjia's staff and knocked against the gate of the Primordial Heaven Space City hurriedly struggled to rise.

"Master!"

"Greetings to the Heaven-Reaching God Emperor!"
