Chapter 956: The Old Emperor is Red with Anger

"And obviously, there's nothing with higher magic purity than Magicians and martial artists who train and meditate every day."

"So he chose to eat people."

"Simply put, he turned from a human into a monster, thereby becoming a Degenerate Species."

Lan Qingyou curled her lips, her face full of disgust.

After all, there were quite a few Degenerate Species a thousand years later.

Most of those guys were created because they were artificially deceived.

There were also some who were truly driven to a dead end.

Or genuinely had no other choice.

But it was indeed rare to see one actively rushing into it like this.

Making the old Emperor very uncomfortable.

His eyes glared fiercely.

"Foolish! This is evolution! It is humanity's greatest step forward!"

"How could someone like you, who only relies on Titles to strengthen yourself, possibly understand the efforts I've made for human progress?"

The angry old Emperor couldn't help but snort coldly.

If it weren't for his many years on the throne, which cultivated good self-control.

The old Emperor might have already jumped up by now.

"This kind of argument again? To tell the truth, I'm annoyed just hearing it."

Lan Qingyou shook her head.

Those guys a thousand years later, especially those guys from that whatever Pure Origin Sect, loved this kind of tune.

Although Lan Qingyou hadn't encountered them much.

At most, she had only encountered the Pope and the unofficial members of the Pure Origin Sect.

But that feeling of 'doing this for the sake of XXX' truly made her nauseous.

The reason was also very simple.

These guys.

Whether it was the Pope of the Pure Origin Sect or this Emperor of the Sima Empire before her, they were all just talking.

If you want longevity, just say longevity.

Who are you trying to fool with all these fancy tricks?

"You can't possibly be fooling yourself, right?"

As she thought.

Looking at the old Emperor's angry expression that seemed to be for the sake of all the people in the world, Lan Qingyou couldn't help but say it out loud.

Fooling himself?

Fooling himself!?

"You... you actually say I am fooling myself!!?"

The old Emperor's face was full of shock and disbelief.

"Lord Lan Qingyou, even if you are a Title Holder, an existence acknowledged by the goddess, there is a price to pay for saying these words."

The old Emperor believed no one was clearer about Lan Qingyou's abilities than him.

Although he hadn't seen it.

But based on the intelligence he had compiled, although Lan Qingyou's magic was powerful, it wasn't without a solution.

This was what gave him the confidence to want to devour Lan Qingyou.

As for those whatever magic golems...

They were just scrap iron.

Within his domain, these things fundamentally couldn't play any role.

They couldn't cause any harm to him either.

"Lord?"

Hearing the other party's address for her, Lan Qingyou curled her lips.

"I say, haven't you woken up yet?"

"Look down below."

"Whether it's the floor, or the pillars, or the statues, or the ceiling..."

"Even your throne has already become a part of your flesh and blood."

"Do you think the current you is still the Emperor?"

"Can you still represent the entire Sima Empire and all its subjects?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, for your own sake, you should be planning to devour all the subjects of the entire Sima Empire so that you can get greater development, right."

"Sima IX who kills indiscriminately."

Perhaps it was because she had gotten used to being a Teacher to little Feng these days.

After Lan Qingyou floated up a few meters and looked down at the old Emperor.

Like a teacher lecturing a student, she educated the seventy or eighty-year-old Emperor.

"This is not killing indiscriminately! It is a necessary sacrifice!"

"As long as I, the Emperor, become powerful, the Sima Empire will exist forever!"

"The subjects will also be with me!"

"And gain eternal life on this continent!"

The old Emperor, who hadn't been lectured by anyone for decades, was clearly a bit red with anger from being educated by Lan Qingyou.

Standing up from the throne, he opened his arms.

With a passionate expression, he began a speech he thought was inspiring.

Yet he didn't spare a single glance at those ministers and generals who had already been devoured up to their necks.

Subsequently.

The old Emperor, having finished his speech, raised his head and stared fixedly at Lan Qingyou.

Then he looked at Elisa, Mera, Albert, and Nicolas who were also floating in the air.

"Howard, how did you turn into what you are now..."

Mentor Mera looked at the old Emperor with a face full of regret.

Although the old Emperor was a few years older than her.

But the two had known each other since they studied at the Magic Academy.

Up until now, it had been decades.

She hadn't expected the other party would actually turn into what he was now.

Even though the other party was still in human form now.

But based on Mera's experience dealing with magic and magical power year-round.

Those things on the ground definitely had a direct relationship with the other party.

Coupled with those words Lan Qingyou just said.

It made her even more able to understand the current situation of the old Emperor.

Under the circumstance of not being human, no matter how much he maintained a human form, the other party absolutely couldn't be the same as before.

That sound earlier which was different from the old Emperor's original footsteps had already explained this point.

So her eyes were now full of pity.

Pity that the Emperor who had been on the throne the longest in the history of this Empire and had reorganized the entire Empire was actually so depraved now.

"Mera, you wouldn't understand the things carried by an Emperor."

"How many years has humanity been in this world, other than still being the way we were?"

"Do you still remember the subjugation battle of the Poison-Headed Lizard?"

"Back then, three Knight Orders, a full thirty thousand people went to subjugate one mutated magic monster."

"And the result was twenty thousand dead, three thousand severely injured, and the rest all wounded."

"Even you, as a rare spatial magic user, didn't you also lose your husband and suffer severe injuries because of it?"

"Isn't this very strange!"

"It's clearly a magic monster, yet it was powerful to this extent?"

"But since magic monsters can have mutated species, why can't humans?"

"No! Humans can do it too!"

"Humans also have this possibility!"

"I firmly believe this."

"That's why I've been constantly searching for a method to allow humans to evolve!"

"This way, humanity won't have to be threatened by mere magic monsters anymore!"

Speaking of this matter.

A proud expression appeared on the old Emperor's face.

For a long time, he had been dedicated to finding a method that could allow humans to evolve.

This was also his greatest wish and the achievement he wanted to accomplish since becoming Emperor.

But his research all along hadn't been able to get the desired answer.

When Lan Qingyou and Elisa suddenly appeared, he had a premonition of a possible breakthrough in his heart.

After all, as soon as the other party arrived, they brought the news of 'the Britt Mice evolving'.

And both were existences with Titles granted by a goddess.

So in terms of resources, the old Emperor wasn't stingy at all.

Especially regarding the black robe.

Because the white robe side was backed by the Aureolus Family, the old Emperor hadn't paid much attention.

But the black robe side, without a background, could only rely on him.
