Chapter 895: Empress
Everything has an answer.
Why, when cursing with the Human Emperor's blood, the black curse thread did not target the Human Emperor but flew toward the depths of the Ancient Emperor Star.
Why, in the previous god-becoming ritual, the five-cornered altar had Xuan Zhan's coffins and shrine.
Why, when Xu Qing took the lamp, the corpse aura rose from within the five coffins, and the hand formed had five fingers instead of four.
Why the Eleventh Prince's actions were so rebellious, yet with the Human Emperor's consistent coldness, he never suppressed him from beginning to end, all being a parent's attitude!
Why the Tenth Prince, possessed by the Heaven-Swallowing Emperor, eventually only had the Heaven-Swallowing Emperor's split soul extinguished by the Human Emperor's palm, while the Tenth Prince himself suffered no harm!
Everything, the moment the Human Emperor removed the mask, had an answer!
Because, she is not Xuan Zhan.
She is Xuan Zhan's partner, she is the Empress of the Eleventh Prince and Yu Yan, and even with her status back then, calling her the Empress of the human race is only missing a title!
At this instant, everyone within the Ancient Emperor Star, the ministers outside the Ancient Emperor Star, and even the cultivators of the Imperial Capital paying attention here, all had their hearts roaring, all were horrified to the extreme, all had thunder roaring in their brains!
It is truly... the shock of this matter exceeds imagination, exceeds cognition!
And originally, this was impossible!
Because whether it was the Human Emperor's words and deeds or daily life, it was impossible not to reveal the slightest flaw!
Even if it could be done perfectly, the moment the five-cornered altar appeared, the moment Xuan Zhan's coffin appeared, everyone unexpectedly did not have doubts!
But instinctively thought that Xuan Zhan's coffin was empty!
This matter is terrifying to think about!
Especially... five corpse auras rose from the five coffins, yet still no one thought about why this was...
It was as if the fact that the Human Emperor was not Xuan Zhan was covered by some astonishing power, shielded from the cognition of the world!
Making everyone have reasonable explanations for all the irrationalities that appeared before!
Until this moment!
The veil of cognition was lifted by the Human Emperor herself!
The truth is revealed, and the shock caused is naturally earth-shattering!
Because, the one who can shield and change everyone's cognition silently, perhaps gods can, but it must be a strong one among the High Gods, and there is another one who can do it!
And he is even more seamless in doing this!
That is... the Sword-Wielding Great Emperor.
This also explains why the Sword-Wielding Great Emperor has always recognized the Human Emperor, and why Xu Qing's previous Imperial Sword did not move for the Human Emperor!
Because... her appearance, everything about her, is recognized by the Sword-Wielding Great Emperor.
This thought, at this instant, not only rose in Xu Qing's mind,
but also erupted in everyone's hearts!
As for what this stunning woman experienced back then, what twists and turns she had with Xuan Zhan, whether Xuan Zhan fulfilled her, or she was truly devoured and died and then resurrected, and by what method she became the Human Emperor...
Or whether it was a fake death from the beginning to replace the Human Emperor's position...
This matter, no one knows the truth!
It has become an eternal mystery!
But amidst the horror of the human ministers and the continuous roaring in their brains, and the subsequent panic and unease about the future, there are three people whose expressions are as usual!
The first is the Grand Chancellor, who has been silent on the Ancient Emperor Star!
This old man, at this moment, steps out and kneels down toward the Human Emperor!
"See the Human Emperor."
The second is the old eunuch of the Spirit-Nurturing Nine Worlds beside the Human Emperor; he lowers his head and kneels down as well!
"See the Human Emperor."
The third is someone unexpected by the masses, but reasonable upon reflection, exactly... the Zhenyan King!
He steps out from beside the Eleventh Prince with a composed expression, arrives in front of the Human Emperor, looks at the Human Emperor's face, reveals a touch of reminiscence in his eyes, and eventually lowers his head and kneels down!
"See the Human Emperor."
He has actually never betrayed.
Everything was just cooperation!
Because, this is a trap!
A trap laid many years ago by this stunning woman who replaced Xuan Zhan!
When she began to prepare the god-becoming ritual, she knew that this behavior would definitely not be tolerated by many forces, so she had always hidden her combat power!
She could not reveal her peak Overlord cultivation; even if alien races invaded, even if the human race was in danger...
Otherwise, if she revealed her peak Overlord cultivation, then what awaited the human race would be the descent of all gods...
Gods do not allow a clan in Wanggu to appear with a peak Overlord!
Even if she could only exhibit peak power within the human race, if outside the human race, it was only half-step peak! But it was
still a great taboo!
Therefore, she could only endure; she was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity where even if she exhibited combat power, she would have a way to control the situation!
Thus, she did not pay attention to the two Xiang Ningyan brothers, letting them be outside, letting them carry resentment toward the Human Emperor Xuan Zhan, becoming a point to attract alien races!
Using this to fish, to catch all the testers in one net at the moment the opportunity arrived!
At this moment, she succeeded!
And following the participation of the Grand Chancellor, the old eunuch, and the Zhenyan King, the ministers also had thousands of thoughts, their gazes complex, but eventually... they all lowered their heads!
Xu Qing's heart also had a storm roaring!
This scene was indeed a guess that finally emerged in his mind, but when the truth was displayed in front of him, the sense of shock was still incomparably strong!
And what made his heart churn even more was that this mother of Xiang Ningyan was actually a peak Overlord!
Xu Qing is silent, sighing!
Because he thought of the aura of impending death he saw on the Sword-Wielding Great Emperor when he first arrived at the Imperial Capital!
Everything seems to have an answer!
"Could it be that the Great Emperor, using some secret method, or assistance, or inheritance, gave it to this Human Emperor!"
"Finally, gave the Imperial Sword to me..."
Xu Qing does not know if his analysis is the truth, at this moment looking up, gazing at the Great Emperor's statue outside the Ancient Emperor Star!
And the Eleventh Prince, at this moment, is stunned like a wooden chicken, his body trembling, his whole person as if having lost all strength, his expression confused, until the Human Emperor's voice comes!
"Don't make a scene anymore, step down!"
The Eleventh Prince's heart is excited because of this sentence; he lowers his head, tears of joy flowing uncontrollably!
This child's tantrum, at this moment, completely dissipates!
The Human Emperor who removed the mask turns around!
Her eyes reveal firmness and decisiveness, her expression confident and composed, every move full of power and determination, as if using her firmness to tell the heavens and earth that she is the Emperor of this world, she has the power to change everything!
"I am the Human Emperor; do any of you ministers have different words?"
The majestic voice falls upon the universe!
All directions are silent; after a few breaths, all the ministers inside and outside the Ancient Emperor Star bow!
"See the Human Emperor!"
The sound is deafening, earth-shattering!
The next instant, the Ancient Emperor Star roars, all the human race's destiny churns, all descending upon the Human Emperor, enveloping the surroundings, blessing her, forming an illusory Imperial Crown, landing on her head!
Destiny had already recognized, and now in the present world, it recognizes again.
At this moment, the Human Emperor is the focus of all gazes, raising her head on that Altar of Heaven, as a woman, with her true face, facing the sky!
"After ancestral sacrifice, it should be heaven sacrifice."
A sharp glint radiates from her eyes!
And even more confidence erupts from her whole body!
This grand ceremony, the first part ends now, and the second part... officially unfolds.
Although late, it has arrived... ===== CHAPTER 896 =====
