Chapter 494: The Position of the Heavenly Emperor

"You don't need to know what happened to me. But you, what happened to you?"

Li Heng smiled slightly and spoke calmly.

The Spirit of the Divine Throne frowned upon hearing this and spoke.

"Didn't I just say it? I am the Spirit of the Divine Throne, and this is an assessment, an assessment to test whether you are qualified to become the Heavenly Emperor. What? Do you not believe it?"

"I believe, naturally I believe. But I need more detailed information. Why did this assessment appear, where is that Heavenly Court Heavenly Emperor, where is he now, and a series of information like this."

Li Heng said calmly.

"You are wondering about this? But indeed, speaking from a universal Reason, it is difficult for normal living beings to accept a pie falling from the sky, especially when this pie involves many unknown secrets."

"Hmm, worthy of being a candidate qualified to become the Heavenly Emperor!"

The Spirit of the Divine Throne spoke with great satisfaction.

"But you actually don't need to wonder; as long as you successfully succeed to the position of Heavenly Emperor, all the information left behind by the Heavenly Emperor will be opened to you, and you will naturally know the secrets within."

"And with your current strength and your performance just now, you are fully qualified to succeed to the position of Heavenly Emperor, become the new generation Heavenly Emperor, rebuild the Heavenly Court, and restore the glory of the Immortal Gods."

The Spirit of the Divine Throne said approvingly.

This living being was truly too mysterious; there seemed to be an inexplicable power within his body, and he even seemed able to ignore everything, actually capable of breaking iron laws and influencing and suppressing the Disaster, which was simply incredible.

He was willing to call him the number one person under His Majesty!

"Oh, so that's how it is? Is this the price I have to pay to become the Heavenly Emperor?"

Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

"Price? What price?"

The Spirit of the Divine Throne spoke with some confusion.

"Rebuilding the Heavenly Court and restoring the glory of the Immortal Gods, shouldn't that be what you do after succeeding to the position of Heavenly Emperor? How can that be considered a price? This is your great opportunity; after succeeding to the position of Heavenly Emperor, you will even be qualified to comprehend His Majesty's Dao, helping you go a step further."

He kindly reminded Li Heng.

"Alright, since the matter is finished now and the assessment has been passed, it is time to guide you back. After you return, once your mind merges with the Imperial Throne, the succession ceremony will begin."

"What are you still standing there for? This space seems to have gone wrong and could attract a real Disaster to descend; you cannot stay here any longer. After going out, I still have to check and sweep up."

The Spirit of the Divine Throne mentioned it again, feeling a bit puzzled in his heart.

This space, if not his personal space, was close enough; it could be said to be very private, isolating the inside from the outside, so how could a Disaster break through this layer of obstruction and descend?

Could that Unknown disaster really be that Terror?

Even after setting up such restrictions and obstacles, just by using the past image of a Disaster, it was sensed by the Unknown disaster, and it proceeded to descend a real split-body?

He guessed secretly in his heart.

"Succeed to the position of Heavenly Emperor, is it? Then let's go."

Li Heng chuckled, nodded, and his figure disappeared from where he stood.

The Spirit of the Divine Throne was stunned upon seeing this.

What is going on? Where is the person?

He opened his mind to sense, and was stunned again.

This living being actually went back by himself, without his guidance? What on earth is going on? Could it be that this living being already had the ability to enter and exit this space freely, without restriction?

This assessment space is something anyone can enter and exit, right?

But how is this possible?

It would be one thing if a Disaster could descend; after all, a Disaster is something inherently difficult to understand, very strange, and simply does not follow Reason; it might just knock on your heart's door the next moment.

In any case, Sacred ones have suffered this kind of treatment before.

But how is it that this living being can also enter and exit like this?

This is the assessment space set up by His Majesty, and it has real restrictions that isolate the inside from the outside! Could it be that this restriction is broken? As this thought arose, he had no time to think about anything else and hurriedly checked, only to find the restriction was perfectly fine.

At this moment, he did not even know how to express his mood and fell directly into silence.

Outside.

Li Heng slowly opened his eyes and found that he had returned to Taiwei Hall, sitting upright on this Imperial Throne, and judging by the reactions and expressions of the Guangnan Heavenly King and the others, it must have only been a second, and they were completely unaware of what had just happened.

Inside Taiwei Hall, the various Sacred ones were submitting reports as if no one else was there.

"Your Majesty, the methods for dealing with these Outer Realm People have all been listed by us ministers; we request Your Majesty to make the final decision."

Sitting upright on the Imperial Throne, Li Heng looked toward the direction the voice came from and could not help but raise his eyebrows; it was actually that Emperor Lord Xinghai, who was looking at him respectfully at this moment.

But soon, Li Heng realized again.

This is just a space-time of the past, and these Sacred ones are nothing more than phantoms of the past; this Emperor Lord Xinghai is not speaking to him, but to the one from the past.

Of course, he has now sat on this Imperial Throne. Perhaps he represents that Heavenly Emperor of the past? Perhaps he could really speak and try to communicate with these Sacred phantoms?

Just as he was hesitating whether to speak.

Suddenly, these Sacred phantoms became still and stagnant.

The Light Orb representing the Spirit of the Divine Throne appeared before everyone's eyes.

"You have already passed the assessment, so you don't need to pay attention to these Sacred phantoms that are purely used to fool people; you just need to rest assured and succeed to the position of Heavenly Emperor."

He looked at Li Heng and said calmly.

He had also figured it out just now.

Although this living being was time and again beyond his expectations and incredibly heaven-defying, so what? In the end, he was still a notch weaker than His Majesty.

With His Majesty as a precedent.

Then why should he be so shocked? It is better to keep a calm heart.

What's more, this living being is now about to succeed to the position of Heavenly Emperor and become the Second Generation Heavenly Emperor; he is one of our own, and the more heaven-defying he is, the happier he is, as that means the hope for rebuilding the Heavenly Court is greater.

The Guangnan people, who were confused, were stunned after hearing this sentence.

What is going on? What happened?

Why did a Light Orb suddenly appear just as Fellow Daoist Li Heng sat upon that imperial throne? And that orb even claimed that Fellow Daoist Li Heng had passed the assessment and could succeed to the position of Heavenly Emperor?

It even said that these Sacred beings were merely illusions used to fool people?

All sorts of doubts stirred their hearts, turning their minds into a mess; the amount of information was truly too vast. Or rather, it was not that the information was vast, but that they simply dared not think, dared not think in a certain specific direction. After all, it was truly too inconceivable!

It was as if a friend you were chatting with the second before suddenly became the creator god of the universe the next second; such an abrupt turn, such a huge contrast, made people feel as if they were dreaming.

At the same time, it also made them a bit unable to accept it.

Is His Majesty not still alive?

Then why must one succeed to the position of Heavenly Emperor?

And who is this Light Orb? To actually have the qualifications to boast about letting Li Heng inherit the position of Heavenly Emperor? Although the aura of the Light Orb was somewhat familiar, they did not recognize this Light Orb at all.

"Succeed to the position of Heavenly Emperor? Heh..."

Li Heng began to laugh.

"I refuse." He spoke aloud, of course.
