Chapter 887: Is There More?

These words were spoken by Ning Yan!

The sound echoed, the reverberations continuing, forming a storm in everyone's hearts and shaking their bodies and souls.

Xu Qing looked at Ning Yan and sighed inwardly; given his understanding of Ning Yan, he naturally saw the clues and guessed who was influencing him.

"No wonder he has been in seclusion all this time..."

And Ning Yan, at this moment, lifted his foot, and after taking a step forward, his eyes were like sharp blades, not dodging in the slightest, facing the Human Emperor directly.

"Father Emperor, am I wrong?"

As he spoke, a dense fluctuation of royal bloodline erupted within his body, rising into the sky and swirling toward the human race's destiny, causing the power of destiny to churn in this instant!

Furthermore, the moment his foot landed, a pitch-black long scroll appeared out of thin air around him, circling several times before shooting into the sky!

"And today, I also have three things to offer as a sacrifice to you!"

The moment Ning Yan's voice rang out, the long scroll that had surged into the sky, like a black dragon, spread across the firmament, growing larger and

larger, until finally... it actually formed a scroll of text.

Within it, countless images emerged; these images were actually the misery and wailing of the common people of the human race.

One could see the tragedy of people swapping children to eat, the corpses frozen to death in the bitter winter, the mortals wailing in flames, and the children suffering amidst the alien essence...

Burning, killing, looting, the law of the jungle—all the sorrows of life that occurred in the secular world due to chaos were constantly emerging within! Some starved to death, some were sacrificed to death, and some were born only to die as living sacrifices!

Good people died because of their kindness, evil people were slaughtered by those even more evil, fierce criminals ran rampant, and savage laughter filled the sky!

Scene after scene... shocking to the eye!

Xu Qing looked at these; he had experienced many of them, and memories from his childhood surfaced!

At that time, he had been bewildered, wondering why the human world was like this, why the heavens and earth were this way!

Why, in this world, was everything his eyes beheld nothing but evil, and more evil!

Why did wanting to survive become an ideal of his own!

Where is the light of the wilderness... Xu Qing was silent!

All sides were silent!

Only Ning Yan, with bloodshot eyes, stared fixedly at the silent Human Emperor and spoke through gritted teeth.

"This is the Chart of Myriad Grievances, formed from the misery of all human mortals within your territory during your reign. Their cries, their pain, their bewilderment—today... Human Emperor, would you care to listen?"

"Is this how you serve as the Human Emperor..."

"Is this how you sanctimoniously sacrifice to the ancestors."

"Is this how you shamelessly boast of your own achievements."

"Today, I do not accept it, and the citizens who have died over these three thousand years do not accept it!"

As Ning Yan spoke, he waved his hand violently. Immediately, the sky roared, and the Chart of Myriad Grievances trembled and shattered, turning into countless black spots that merged into the destiny of all directions!

Instantly, the human race's destiny churned as never before, finally forming a vortex that rumbled and rotated above the Altar of Heaven!

The intensity of the fluctuation was earth-shattering!

"You, Sister Xuan Zhan, 'above, you have no shame before your ancestors; below, you have achieved merit for your descendants'—how can you even say such words!"

"In the map of sacrifices you offer, is the suffering of the masses depicted?"

"In the register of heroes you sacrifice, is the misery of their descendants recorded?"

"Where is the 'favorable weather and timely rain' for the human race that you claim to provide?"

Ning Yan's voice was equally shrill, spreading in all directions. The firmament rumbled, the Ancient Emperor Star shook, and the Altar of Heaven trembled. A massive pressure erupted from the human destiny that had been infiltrated by the black spots!

But the Human Emperor, from beginning to end, did not say a word, his expression unchanged, calmly looking at Ning Yan!

Seeing this, Ning Yan's eyes grew redder, and he took another step forward!

"Since you are unwilling to speak, then I, as your son, shall offer you a second thing, Father Emperor!"

After speaking, Ning Yan raised his hand, and immediately a second long scroll surged into the sky!

This scroll was crimson, spreading across the firmament, and within it, countless images were revealed as well!

They were, shockingly... the various officials of the human race.

Within it, greed, sin, slaughter, and more were all clearly visible. Under the Human Emperor's rule, the countless sins committed by each family for their own private gain, for their different stances, and for their respective purposes.

【Line 44 merged into 43】

Many were hair-raising.

This was the Record of Crimes of the Hundred Officials.

Its appearance caused many among the gathered officials to change color, their minds roaring, terrified to the extreme!

The sense of unease was intense to the extreme!

"Sister Xuan Zhan, is this your empire? Is this your state

?"

Ning Yan laughed sharply, and suddenly that crimson long scroll shattered, turning into countless red spots, likewise merging into the human race's destiny. The churning of destiny became even more intense at this moment, even surpassing its peak, like an ancient

giant roaring toward the Altar of Heaven!

It seemed to be questioning!

But the Human Emperor was still calm, not saying a word, still looking at Ning Yan!

Seeing this, Ning Yan took a deep breath and took out the third thing.

It was a blood-colored skull.

A human skull!

And it did not look like an adult's, but a child's!

The fresh blood upon it seemed to have been the result of blood reversing within the body before death, and after the body withered, the bone had turned crimson!

Holding this skull, Ning Yan stared at the Human Emperor, gritting his teeth as he uttered words that made everyone change color once again.

"Sister Xuan Zhan, you probably don't recognize this bone, but it doesn't matter; today I will make you recognize it!"

After speaking, Ning Yan's gaze swept across all directions, passing over Xu Qing and the others, then looking outside the Ancient Emperor Star, and finally staring at the vortex of destiny!

He spoke loudly!

"Ancestors above, our race's destiny above, the millions of human people above!"

"Do you know why the Human Emperor Sister Xuan Zhan ascended to become a Sovereign back then?"

Once these words were spoken, shock arose from all sides again, because the Human Emperor's ascension to Sovereign happened before he succeeded to the throne...

"Outsiders mostly think Sister Xuan Zhan relied on his bloodline to break through the Spirit Severing realm and step into the Sovereign realm, but in reality... he secretly sacrificed the living beings of nine outer-realm commanderies to himself to ascend!"

"This would be fine if it were just alien races, but within those nine sacrificed commanderies, besides a large number of alien tribes, there were also many of our human citizens."

"Sister Xuan Zhan, as the Human Emperor, is the emperor of all humans; even if the citizens were in the outer realms, they were still his citizens!"

"Yet he disregarded the lives of his citizens and committed such a brutal act; it is something both heaven and man find intolerable."

"In the Sovereign realm he ascended to, there is the blood of our human citizens, and the souls of our human citizens!"

Ning Yan's voice was deafening, turning into heavenly thunder that exploded across the Imperial Capital!

Then he raised his hand and sent the blood-colored skull up into the firmament, into the human destiny vortex!

"I ask our human destiny to bear witness!"

In the sky, the red skull vanished, and everyone's gaze instinctively fell upon the destiny vortex, until the next moment when a dragon of destiny flew out of the vortex, roaring shockingly toward where the Human Emperor stood!

Its sound was shrill to the extreme!

In this instant, everyone's expressions and minds changed drastically!

And that destiny vortex, amidst the shrill cries of the dragon of destiny, accelerated its rotation, the rumbling sound earth-shattering, and its color now containing black and red!

As if spread by the grievances within, and just as water can carry a boat, it can also capsize it; in the next instant, amidst thunderous sounds stronger than the last, black and red iron chains actually formed from within the destiny vortex and lashed out violently toward the ground below!

The number was vast, at least a thousand!

They headed straight for the Human Emperor on the Altar of Heaven below, and the Human Emperor did not resist at all, letting those chains fall with a clatter, binding his body and suspending him in the air!

The next moment, more chains erupted from the destiny, reinforcing this suppression, reinforcing this punishment of destiny.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yan's eyes flashed, staring fixedly at the Human Emperor!

"Before, you disdained to speak, but now that it has come to this, do you have nothing left to say?"

The Human Emperor's expression was still calm!

Even though he was suppressed by the human destiny and bound by chains, he only looked at Ning Yan, as if waiting to see what else the other party had!

This scene left the officials suspicious, and Ning Yan's heart sank as well!

But he had great confidence in his preparations, and now that the arrow was on the bowstring, it had to be fired.

So his eyes grew redder, and he let out a roar!

"Why haven't you acted yet."

These words were clearly not meant for the Human Emperor!

Because the moment his words were spoken, a scene appeared that caused Xu Qing's breath to hitch!

The King of King Zhenyan beside him... had vanished in an instant.

The firmament at this moment suddenly split open a gap!

The figure of the King of King Zhenyan stepped out from within, his face expressionless, whipping up a monstrous momentum, the power of the eighth realm of Spirit Severing fully erupting, as if it could suppress the ages!

As he stepped forward, his momentum was like a rainbow, and in his raised hand, a long saber gathered before him, slashing toward the Human Emperor... with one strike.

This strike showed eight great worlds shining, the roaring universe gathering into the blade light, forming a power that could destroy heaven and earth, a fatal blow descending.

All these changes happened too fast; most people within the Ancient Emperor Star had not reacted, as the King of King Zhenyan's defection and regicide were beyond everyone's expectations!

Anyone defecting was a possibility, but in everyone's hearts, the King of King Zhenyan, who had fought for the human race for many years and had exhausted his heart and blood for the public good, was someone who could absolutely never betray them.

Yet now... such an unbelievable change had occurred.

He was actually the trump card of Xiang Xiang Ningyan!

In an instant, the storms in everyone's hearts grew even more violent, and they were utterly horrified, yet there was no time to ponder further; seeing this ritual turn into a regicide, the cultivators inside and outside of the Ancient Emperor Star instinctively rushed forward, intending to intervene!

The fastest to appear was an aged figure who suddenly manifested in front of the Human Emperor; he wore the attire of a Eunuch, as if he had always been there, and now, having materialized, he raised his hand toward

the blade descending from the King of Suppressing Flame, and suddenly pressed against it!

A cultivation base of the Nine Realms of Spirit-Nurturing erupted from this old Eunuch, shaking the heavens!

He was clearly a hidden powerhouse of the human race.

As he struck, the heavens and earth rumbled, winds rose and clouds surged, directly blocking the blade of the King of Suppressing Flame.

Yet, despite his power of the Nine Realms, after withstanding the blow, he actually retreated several steps and spat out a mouthful of blood!

This showed that the King of Suppressing Flame was extraordinary.

As for the cultivators rushing in from outside the Imperial Star to protect the sovereign, just as they were about to step inside, the human race's formation erupted, blocking everyone from the outside!

Those who do not possess the qualifications are not permitted to step onto this star.

And though the people within the Ancient Emperor Star also rushed out, they were forced to retreat one after another under a single sweeping strike from the King of Suppressing Flame as he turned his head!

However, the King of Suppressing Flame could not strike again, as he was entangled by that Eunuch of the Nine Realms!

Xu Qing watched this scene and looked toward Xiang Xiang Ningyan!

A flash of killing intent appeared in Xiang Xiang Ningyan's eyes, and he rushed directly toward the bound Human Emperor, grabbing at the void with his hand, and a long spear appeared!

But at this moment, the Human Emperor, who was bound by the human race's destiny in mid-air, swayed slightly, and with a boom, one of the iron chains shattered!

Immediately following, as the aura emanated from the Human Emperor's body, a terrifying intent surged to the heavens, and the iron chains on his body could not hold on at all, snapping one after another in an instant!

During this process of collapse, the Human Emperor raised his head with an expressionless face, looked at Xiang Xiang Ningyan, who had paused with a gloomy expression, and spoke his first words to Xiang Xiang Ningyan today!

"Little Eleven, is there anything else?"

I have been writing continuously like this, and my state is a bit poor; this is a climax, so please allow me to rest and think carefully!
