Chapter 689: Coronation Knight

Xilian was born into the Hengyin Sect, one of the three major sects of the Celestial race. After being forcibly conscripted, he also received this insight, which meant he had already entered the core sequence of the Seventh Art's future.

"Sure, I still have some matters to attend to. Once I'm done, I'll come to experience the Thunder Dragon Power," Xilian said with a smile. There was no reason to refuse when things had reached this point; he also wanted to test the depth of the Dragon Race. Playing mysterious games was of no use to him, a former Human.

Ying Hong nodded with a smile, not minding at all.

At this moment, Xilian inexplicably and without reason thought of Li Hao. Did this matter have anything to do with him? What was he going to do again? As long as he was around, the surrounding events always uncontrollably began to spiral out of control.

Inside the palace, A Youyou and Hermia were also somewhat anxious. They had been waiting, and after notifying High Priest Shilada, Shilada had arrived at the first opportunity.

She explained the situation of the Twin Gemini Stars to the two of them. In short: don't push yourselves. The Twin Gemini Stars wouldn't actually threaten one's life, but if one were to be reckless, it would be extremely fatal. There were records in the Spirit Hero Sect; Shilada had also been summoned by the Twin Gemini Stars, but after a long period of entering the General rank, at a certain juncture, she had suddenly and inexplicably passed.

However, Shilada believed this was not a "passing" in the true sense, but rather a situation of dropping out due to "insufficient talent" as determined by the Gemini Stars, which was fundamentally different from that of Emperor Augustus. This conscription mission held an extremely special and important status among S-rank missions. It was fine until she mentioned it, but once she did, A Youyou became a bit anxious. She knew Li Hao's personality too well; this person was adventurous to the bone and didn't know what death was. Once he believed a matter had to be resolved, he would definitely do it.

"Princess A Youyou, no need to worry too much. Li Hao is not a reckless person. It would be very difficult for such a person to reach dangerous places without having done it a dozen times or so; his strength is still worth trusting." Shilada knew that concern leads to chaos—who hadn't been in love? A Youyou's calmness and lack of fear were largely because Li Hao was there, still in that state of possessing the whole world just by having the other person.

A Youyou hadn't been worried at first, but it was mainly because even such a powerful existence as Shilada said so, meaning it was truly dangerous. Shilada was surely several levels stronger than the Man Ciku of Masa Planet. A Youyou knew that Li Hao's last time had truly been a brush with death, even Shilada felt it was very fatal...

Shilada stayed with the two of them, guiding the emotions of the two Princesses until news from the Holy Light Society arrived.

Seeing Shilada's expression change drastically, A Youyou and Hermia's hearts instantly rose. "Master, did something happen?"

Shilada did not answer, still trapped in the news of the Light King... How could this be possible?

"Master, don't scare me. What exactly happened? Why hasn't Li Hao returned yet?"

"High Priest, what happened to Li Hao? If you have any news, please tell us..."

Shilada waved her hand with a bitter smile. "It's not that. Just received news: the Twin Gemini Stars have been conquered..."

It overturned Shilada's worldview, because Hermia had notified her immediately that the time Li Hao had entered the Twin Gemini Stars was only about five hours... Someone who entered the Twin Gemini Stars for the first time and then completed the conquest was even more shocking than the conquest itself.

This mission wouldn't have much of an impact on Hermia and A Youyou; regarding the concept of power, there would be different perceptions based on one's own strength and knowledge.

What Li Hao was doing was overturning her, and this meant that as a Manager, he would hold the throat of the most important secret realm for all civilizations to temper their spirits. Warriors who could not hone themselves in the Twin Gemini Stars would find it difficult to reach a very high level.

Shilada knew she had made a huge mistake. Having long held a high position, she was no longer the person she was back then; in fact, she had been a bit too confident. She naturally attached great importance to the prophecy left by her master and the Emperor, but she had been using her own power to analyze and arrange things.

Even when she knew Li Hao was "Li Hao," she still maintained a very logical and calm observation, because Li Hao had not displayed the power in the prophecy. She needed to confirm whether the other party possessed that strength, so on one hand, she tacitly allowed contact and even gave Humans some small conveniences, while on the other, she remained on the sidelines.

Deep down, she had ignored the instructions of her master and the Emperor from back then.

What Emperor Augustus left behind back then, and what he even risked his life to have his beloved daughter Hermia split her soul to find, was the only hope in the destruction of the Ozil Empire.

Her ability had never reached the realm of the previous High Priest, always seeking the rationality and arrangements she could see. In reality, something she could not understand had clearly appeared here. The ridiculous thing was that she always felt she was very calm and clear-headed, not knowing that if it weren't for Hermia's relationship that luckily kept Li Hao, the future would be full of regret.

She could not clearly feel the threat, not because the threat didn't exist, but because she had not yet reached the realm of the Emperor and her predecessor. For them to go to such great lengths at that level of power, leaving this hope before life and death, was not to test her judgment.

Ignorance is the original sin.

Long-term in this position, coupled with Hermia's trust, she arranged everything but ignored the instructions of the Emperor and her master regarding the key person who would decide the fate of the Empire.

Unknowingly, Shilada broke out in a cold sweat. Even during the Yimogu Rebellion, she hadn't had this feeling. She had always felt it was destiny, even thinking a large part of the credit was due to her own strategic planning. Now, it was like the shock of sudden awakening.

Collecting her thoughts, she knew she had been a bit uncomposed. Feeling Hermia's concerned gaze, Shilada smiled slightly. "Two Princesses, the person we spent so much effort looking for has come. From now on, you can do exactly as you think; don't worry about my opinion. I will cooperate fully."

This time it was "cooperation" in the true sense of subordination, not the kind mentioned last time.

"If you want to help Humans, then help. I will think of a way for the rest," Shilada said. If they continued to stick to the rules and move slowly, they might really delay major events. A priest has always been just an executor, not a decision-maker.

"Really, Master? Really? What if the Council of Elders and the Sacred Song Committee object?" Hermia said with pleasant surprise. She had long wanted to "give it all away," but she couldn't win against the establishment. She had read the meeting minutes; the wave of opposition was simply endless. Most Celestials looked down on a race like Humans; even if Li Hao made some contributions, it was absolutely not allowed.

"You will soon be the Empress. Show the spirit of an Emperor. If someone objects, then find a way to make them agree!"

It was one hundred percent Li Hao!

There couldn't be a second person, because under normal circumstances, no one could conquer it. If they could, someone would have done it long ago; it would never have waited until now.

This is the Child of Destiny. How ridiculous; as the High Priest of the Spirit Hero Sect and the Hall of Valor, she had forgotten her primary duty.

"Then why hasn't Li Hao come back yet?" A Youyou still asked with some worry.

"If he became a Manager, it shouldn't be that fast," Shilada smiled. She also needed to adjust her own positioning.

What kind of power and talent could conquer the Twin Gemini Stars?

As a senior General, she didn't even have a single Manager title. Many Star Realm missions would expel Saints after a certain period of time if they didn't make progress after reaching the rank of General.

The Star Realm is essentially a path of evolution, a gift given to the creatures in the Star Alliance. A Manager will look at every mission from a different perspective. The mission itself does not have a rank, but according to the direction and content involved, Celestials will have a self-assessment. In fact, even the Manager of the lowest-level mission is extremely useful, and the number of Star Cards issued will be large. At the very least, it will allow a race to rise, and high-level ones all hint at the secrets of evolution.

The missions of the Star Realm are not infinite; there will be extinction and birth, but each one is the most sought-after resource. The easy ones can't be waited for, and the ones left behind are all difficult to overcome.

At this moment, the great Manager is looking at his harvest with indignation.

Li Hao is not happy. Didn't they say S-rank has Imperial Artifacts? Why is this the second one, and where is his Imperial Artifact? Is he that unworthy?

This time there was still no Imperial Artifact, but there was an Advanced Soul Supplement, 100 bottles of Ultimate Soul Supplement, and 1000 bottles of Primary Soul Supplement. If he were penniless, Li Hao would definitely be ecstatic, but now Li Hao wasn't so pleased. These could be obtained by just using his brain.

What about the rare and precious ones?

In terms of abilities, the three basic powers of Ice, Fire, and Thunder were activated. Li Hao's use and mastery have gone a step further, and he has begun to deeply understand the origin of these three abilities. Li Hao is still very satisfied with this.

Intermediate Space Ability creation: this ability is the power of soul manifestation. He feels it should be able to be combined with the release of Space Ability.

He can still make ten Star Cards. How happy it would be if he could make a hundred or eighty; that would be a sure fortune. Li Hao is a Financial Management major after all. The value of the Twin Gemini Stars is much stronger than the Endless Maze, and the actual training effect is easier to produce and more obvious.

He feels he should bring Kuta in the future. Without the blessing of luck, he can't maximize profits.

The biggest change is actually not in these abilities or titles, but in Li Hao's further understanding and clarity of the Cell Universe. This is combined with his soul's passive "Faith," which is also the foundation of the Soul Card ability. Recently, the passive has increased somewhat, and after the Golden Cell power storage was completed, the speed of improvement obviously became faster, and the number of times it was borrowed also increased.

As a Manager, Li Hao can more clearly understand the structure and layering of the Twin Gemini Stars. This feeling is like being a creator. Li Hao couldn't help but watch with fascination. The flow of power between the two planets—they are called planets, but internally they are the cycle of life and death. Life is a power, and death is actually also a power, not nothingness. This is very profound.

For a moment, Li Hao was also a bit fascinated. Could this be combined with his Space Ability creation?

The shaping of the Mirror Space ability is a castle in the air, but what is real creation?

Li Hao activated his Ten Directions Space, and it could still appear within the Twin Gemini Stars, indicating that the priority of this ability is very high. When Li Hao was excitedly preparing to try creating matter, it came to an abrupt stop...???

The Soul Power required for creation is a bit too much. True creation is not just making things; any real appearance is accompanied by a foundation of laws. One must create a set of automatically operating laws, otherwise it is the same as the nothingness of the Mirror Space. And to create laws, one must first have understanding and mastery, and secondly, have a continuous reserve of power.

Li Hao gave up for now. Although he has made some progress, it is better not to consume blindly at the current stage.

One of Li Hao's strengths is that he has both an adventurous spirit and the ability to be content when he should be.

At this time, in Hermia's palace, Helena and Lavitan also came. No choice, who let them be the ones in the know? The matter of the Endless Maze had already made the two of them itch with curiosity, but they couldn't talk about it outside. And so, seeing the news in the Dragon Alliance that the Twin Gemini Stars had been conquered, they thought of Li Hao at the first opportunity. Sure enough, the Princess's place was under martial law again, and the High Priest was there too. Isn't this "there are no three hundred taels of silver buried here"?

If it were just Hermia, she might be embarrassed, but Shilada didn't indulge these two little ones and drove them away directly, telling them not to let their imaginations run wild. Although it had to do with Li Hao, it wasn't that simple.

Helena and Lavitan were confused.

By evening, Li Hao finally returned. A Youyou finally set her heart at ease and revealed a brilliant smile. Shilada had already left; she had never been worried at all, as it was mainly a matter of grasping power. The talent Li Hao displayed was something even the Augustus of that year could not compare to. If Li Hao possessed the status of an Imperial Crown Prince like Augustus, he would likely be shaking the Star River and shocking the Star Realm by now, a sure-fire sensation of a second Galaxy Emperor. Li Hao's stomach was famished upon his return, and he immediately began to eat and drink heartily. Hermia stayed by his side to keep him company. Upon learning that Li Hao was unharmed, A Youyou fell into a deep sleep. The fusion of the two was not entirely without issues; after all, this was Hermia's body, and if A Youyou existed for too long, it would accelerate the consumption of Soul Power.

Hermia just watched as Li Hao told her about the situation with the Twin Gemini Stars while stuffing his face; he was eating with such relish. Then, Li Hao began a mode of frantic complaining, telling Hermia how he had suffered a massive loss this time and hadn't even obtained an Imperial Artifact; his expression was one of pure grievance.

"Kuta will be back tomorrow; you can have a good talk with him," Hermia said with a smile. "What do you plan to do about the Star Cards this time?"

"Let things settle for a while. We just harvested a wave, so we need to wait a bit. Let's auction off the Endless Maze Star Cards first," Li Hao said. Just kidding, he was a professional. He didn't manage things before because he had no assets, but now it was different.

"In the short term, you shouldn't be forcibly summoned again, right?" Hermia was also happy, and at the same time, she told Li Hao about Shilada's attitude. "Li Hao, I don't know what the prophecy actually means..."

Li Hao waved his hand. "Your Highness, I understand. I am doing this voluntarily. You and the Ozil Empire are both my friends, and you have given us tremendous help. We are allies fighting side by side. If there is any place where the Ozil Empire needs me, I am duty-bound. Since the prophecy says I am the chosen one, it means I can solve the problem. There is nothing to worry about."

There was an eighty percent chance that B Ge had something to do with this. If things went wrong, the ultimate goal of B Ge's grand scheme was right here, and it was getting closer and closer. Of course, he wouldn't just wait for the rabbit to hit the tree; he had an extremely bold guess in his heart, but he was still hesitating about whether to take such a risk.

Augustus... he didn't seem to have that kind of courage, or perhaps he hadn't thought in that direction, but he would.

No one understood the Twin Gemini Stars better than Li Hao now. After becoming a Manager, it wasn't about the mission in this Star Realm itself, but about controlling the upward mobility of the top-tier warriors of various civilizations, and it wouldn't be long before those people realized it too.

B Ge's steps were truly tight.

Thinking on the bright side, Wuzang, Sister Yi, and the others would definitely be overjoyed. Just thinking about everyone being happy, Li Hao's mood became very good... Ma Laoshi would probably have a massive headache.

Hermia clearly felt that Li Hao's mood was excellent. She poured a glass of wine for Li Hao and poured one for herself as well. Ever since she was dragged into drinking by Li Hao, Hermia had also caught on.

After a few glasses, a flush appeared on Hermia's face. The wise Empress now looked like a cute girl; such beautiful scenery was something outsiders would never see.

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Hao still left Hermia's palace. After all, as an outside man, staying with the Princess like this all the time wasn't appropriate. After Li Hao left, the martial law was lifted.

As a result, just after walking a short distance, he ran into Helena and Lavitan, who were lying in wait. These two prominent figures of the Ozil Empire now looked like two well-built huskies.

Seeing the gossip on their faces, Li Hao hurriedly straightened his clothes. "Why are you two squatting here? Oh, I was reporting some situations to Her Highness the Princess."

Helena was full of curiosity, looking Li Hao up and down. "Eh, why do you have the Princess's scent on you?"

"You... you two couldn't have had something happen, right?" "Something happen?"

"Looks like it. Li Ge is already reminiscing."

"Sigh, countless Ozil boys are going to cry, and I will be one of them," Lavitan couldn't help but sigh.

Li Hao hurriedly looked around and waved his hands. "Don't talk nonsense. Slandering the Empress, aren't you afraid of losing your heads?"

"Killing us is possible, but whether you'd be killed is uncertain, right?" Helena winked. Who could have imagined that the little thief who once peeked at them dancing would actually be entering the inner sanctum? "Ahem, what do you want with me?" Li Hao couldn't help but change the subject; this was getting more and more chaotic, and Helena was also a financier, not someone to offend.

"There is indeed something, and it is a rather tricky problem we are currently facing," Helena said. "The Dragon Alliance Martial Arts is currently in full swing, but the flavor is gradually changing. It seems there is a sense of deciding who is qualified to be a Coronation Knight. I'm worried there will be complications."

Li Hao frowned slightly. "Shouldn't this be an internal matter for the Ozil Empire?"

Lavitan smiled and shook his head. "Li Ge, this is different from human civilization. A Coronation Knight was actually just an honor in the past. For example, Emperor Augustus chose the Star Dragon King as his Coronation Knight back then. That was also the period when the relationship between the Ozil Empire and the Dragon Race was at its best. A Coronation Knight doesn't necessarily have to be an Ozil person, but they certainly represent the future inclination of the Empress."

Helena looked at Li Hao; if he didn't understand after it had been spelled out this clearly, he would be a fool.

"Your idea is for me to perform in the Dragon Alliance Martial Arts?"

"Exactly. Currently, the most qualified are you, Gannimeitis, Defatandisi, and Ning Long. Of course, we cannot rule out Star Dragon Ji Yao or Leaf Emperor Yekaterina. A Coronation Knight has one important characteristic: strength!" Helena said. "The loser is definitely not worthy."

The Dragon Race really had something; they could always grasp the key nodes and stir up key events.

Whether from A Youyou's perspective or the human perspective, winning this Coronation Knight title would provide great convenience for Hermia's series of future measures, at least as an excuse.

"When?"

"Tomorrow. The fights that should have been fought these past few days have all been fought. The One Emperor, Two Emperors, Five Dragons, and Nine Holy Lights should all be back tomorrow. If you can put on a brilliant performance, the High Priest will have a chance to nominate you as a Coronation Knight."

Li Hao nodded; he had an idea in his mind. "Have you two already entered the fray?"

"Ah... we got hammered," Lavitan said, feeling a bit embarrassed. "The top experts from the Dragon Alliance of various civilizations have all come this time, and the level is a bit high."

"You got hammered; I only lost by a tiny bit," Helena was still a bit unconvinced. "We, the Ruling, are the hosts, so we certainly can't just watch, but the results are really a bit ugly. Now everyone is saying that our Ozil Empire is declining severely. It's infuriating! There are objective factors involved in this, you know!"

It wasn't because the Emperor had drained the core back then, leading to the current gap, but she couldn't complain about that.

"Li Hao, you must perform well. Don't choose too weak an opponent," Helena puffed out her chest and approached step by step. "Becoming a Coronation Knight is also the first step to publicly pursuing Her Highness the Princess!"

Helena made it clear to Li Hao: if it were man-to-man, it would be brothers and allies; if it were man-to-woman, it went without saying.

A Youyou was still inside Hermia's body, and as long as she was there for one day, he could not leave.

"I understand."

"Li Ge, it's best to choose from the Nine Holy Lights. With your strength, you can beat them easily," Lavitan said.

"What's the use of beating them? To become a Coronation Knight, you have to be one of the Celestials or one of the Dragon Race. That Ao Dragon seems to be the weakest; there's a chance!"

Li Hao nodded. "Kuta is coming back tomorrow too; he is my lucky star." Thinking of Kuta, Li Hao's mood became great. As long as Kuta was there, luck would be there.

Watching Li Hao take it completely in stride, Helena and Lavitan widened their eyes. Did he have some misunderstanding about the Dragon Alliance Martial Arts? But thinking about the other party being a Maze Manager and having a connection to the Twin Gemini Stars, he had the confidence. After Li Hao returned, he went to ask Gaia about the Dragon Alliance Martial Arts, feeling that what Helena and the others said wasn't clear enough. Gaia was very clear on this aspect and could express it in a way that humans could understand.

Ever since he returned, every time Gaia saw Li Hao, his eyes were full of enthusiasm. "Li Ge, you're finally going to make a move. These past few days, we, the Ruling, have lost a lot of face."

"Didn't you try entering the fray?"

Zuo Xiaotang shook his head, and there was no need to think about Ma Long; he definitely wouldn't look for abuse.

"Gasimi and I went up, and we lost, but the point was the experience, and we gained a lot. It's just that Helena and Lavitan both lost, which is a bit embarrassing. We, the Ruling, are the hosts, and we were basically wiped out without winning a single significant battle. As the hosts, it's unprecedentedly embarrassing," Gaia said. "Commissioner Helena is the Song Agent Commissioner of the Ruling; her pressure is the greatest. This loss of face is a bit big."

"What exactly is the background of the Dragon Alliance Martial Arts?" Li Hao asked. Joining the Dragon Alliance in the beginning was mainly for the Star Realm, and it was more of a relatively reliable neutral platform.

"The Dragon Alliance is an organization within the Sacred Song. Ahem, to be precise, it's an organization for the Dragon Race to display their power and influence, that's clearer. Li Ge is one of our own, so I think the Dragon Race uses the Dragon Alliance to influence the core power of various civilizations, placing themselves above all nations," Gaia said. "The Dragon Alliance Martial Arts is an internal exchange of the Dragon Alliance held every few years. It usually chooses a major festival or event and is held when the Dragon Alliance members gather. In essence, it is actually a time for the Dragon Race to show off their military might. The scale of this Empress Ceremony is also the largest in recent years, so the quality of the Dragon Alliance members is the highest. That's why the Dragon Alliance dispatched the Five Dragons; these five are also the successors of the five major forces of the Dragon Race."

Li Hao felt that Gaia was truly a talent. He had sorted it out for him in an instant. Having a noble family status while being tempered at the bottom was truly a good training, which created Gaia's vision and character in looking at people and things.

Gasimi's small eyes were wide open, but there was no understanding; the Zerg were not as complex as other civilizations.

"Why does it sound to me like the Dragon Race is like the Emperor Emeritus of various civilizations?" Ma Long said.

Gaia shrugged helplessly. "Actually, that's about what it means. The Star Casting Dragon Alliance is essentially an organization that maintains the status of the Dragon Race. Experts from various races are influenced from the time they rise and start their careers, whether they are nobles or commoners, so even if they become generals later, they will have an affinity and good feelings for the Dragon Race. Sometimes, they even appear above their own countries, especially in some second- or third-rate civilizations."

Li Hao nodded. "Do they have other purposes this time?"

Gaia pondered for a while. "That, Li Ge, we are all our own people, so I'll just say it casually, and you listen casually. Ning Long is not simple. I think the Dragon Race wants to control the future direction of our Ozil Empire. I don't know the specifics, but the family side and some information encountered recently all have such tendencies. For example, regarding the candidates for Coronation Knight, the Council of Elders and the Sacred Song Committee are inclined towards Gannimeitis, High Priest Shilada wants to choose Li Ge, and the Dragon Race wants to choose Defatandisi. And I think that with the Dragon Race's style of doing things, there must be a chain of follow-up moves... There is one more point: if you look closely at the past, anyone who opposed the Dragon Race either disappeared or died in missions or accidents."

"What the hell does that have to do with the Dragon Race? Do they have that much energy?" Ma Long was furious when he heard this. If Li Hao became a Coronation Knight, holy crap, the Solar System would have a rocket stuck in its ass and take off!

Gaia gave a bitter smile. "The Dragon Race has been closely related to the Celestials since the Galactic Empire era. They don't use brute force; their methods are extremely sophisticated. This time, the Dragon Alliance Martial Arts is making such a big scene, it feels like the drunkard's intent is not in the wine. I feel it's quite dangerous. If Gannimeitis suffers a crushing defeat in front of everyone, how can he be a Coronation Knight?" "Can't he avoid the fight?"

"It's difficult. Anyone who is qualified has dignity and pride. If they shy away from the fight and interested parties spread the word, the final result of public opinion pressure will be the same. It still comes down to strength. This is the tradition of the Celestials and even more so the pride of the Ozil Empire. With Gannimeitis's personality, he would rather die in battle than shy away." Compared to Dirac's direct descendant, Gaia didn't have so many scruples; he was more practical, though his strength wasn't up to par.

"What are the One Emperor and Two Emperors for?" Li Hao asked, thinking of the masked woman he met in the Star Realm.

Leaf Emperor Yekaterina, Thunder Emperor Spanoer, and Ice Emperor Trosi—these are the variables. They have certainly come with a mission this time. They are the most famous among the Celestials; all three have defeated the Dragon Race in previous Dragon Alliance Martial Arts, earning the title of Dragon Slayer Warrior, which is why they hold such transcendent status. Especially Leaf Emperor Yekaterina, the closed-door disciple of the Thunder Illusion Sect Master, whose status is transcendent. To put it simply, it is equivalent to the situation of High Priest Shilada's only closed-door disciple. And the Thunder Illusion Sect is to the Silver Heart Alliance what the Spirit Hero Sect is to the Ozil Empire. If Yekaterina wants to stir up trouble, I fear no one but the Dragon Race could contend with her. This is also the reason why the Five Dragons have gathered. The strength of Thunder Dragon Ying Hong and Star Dragon Ji Yao is likely enough to rival the Leaf Emperor, or perhaps they are here implicitly to maintain a balance.

The difference here is that the Silver Heart Alliance is the actual ruler of the Star Alliance, so the status of the Thunder Illusion Sect must be higher. From the perspective of Silver Heart, they should not want the Ozil Empire and the First Art to form an alliance. So, will they cause trouble?

Why do I feel like the ones above are fighting?

"I really don't feel there is any difference between Humans and us Celestials..." Gaia said, "Li Ge, starting from tomorrow, it will be critical. It is said that the Leaf Emperor has also arrived, and the warm-ups are over. Under normal circumstances, the Nine Holy Lights will start among themselves tomorrow, and the results will directly affect the shift in the situation."

Being told this by Gaia, it became clear. Combining internal and external factors, what he needs to do is provide sufficient conditions for High Priest Shilada to support him. This situation can leave both the Sacred Song Committee and the Council of Elders with nothing to say.

He cannot control Gannimeitis, but communicating with Xilian—it is still a bit nostalgic.

Gaia made him reach a decision....

The sixth day of the Dragon Alliance Martial Arts; according to the rules, it is time for the main course.

There were many probes and exchanges in the first few days, mainly among the top fifty of each Sacred Song battle zone, as well as the more famous Warriors in the Dragon Alliance. On the side of the Verdict, Helena, Lavitan, Seva Langku, Aoliweina, Haisen, and others have already appeared. Similarly, the other Sacred Songs have corresponding ones, but these levels were just warm-ups.

With the arrival of the One Emperor and the two Emperors, it is very likely that there will be exchanges between top Dragon Alliance Warriors today.

Li Hao, Ma Long, Zuo Xiaotang, Gaia, Gasimi, and the strongly returned Kuta—Kuta, who is physically outside but whose heart is with the Verdict, is still very clear about the matters here.

At five in the evening, the Dragon Alliance Martial Arts arena was full. The Five Dragons and the Nine Holy Lights had all arrived: Bloody Holy Feast Seva Langku of the Lalutu Empire, Prince of the Dark Night Teng Mi of the Ghost Empire, Magic Heir Seron of the Helavis Empire, White Rose Falandisi, Prince of the Verne Empire, Undead Alien Yejia of the Strong Colonization Empire, the number one expert of the Centaur Empire, Death Chariot Taomasi, and the Golden Giant Dekai of the Bobao Empire. Of course, there were also Defatandisi and Gannimeitis; the calls for these two to compete for the Coronation Knight are very high. This battle is clearly unavoidable; it is just a matter of when.

Many Dragon Alliance Warriors also became implicitly excited. Previously, the Five Dragons or the Nine Holy Lights only appeared one or two at a time. Now that they are all here, there is likely to be a major event.

Sure enough, not long after, one woman and two men appeared. The Warrior on the left was tall and mighty, in blue armor with deep purple short hair—Thunder Emperor Spanoer. The one on the right had ice-blue long hair, very dashing and handsome, with sharp features and cold eyes—Ice Emperor Trosi.

The woman in the center position between the two wore a silver mask, her starlight-silver long hair simply tied up, and no aura could be detected from her body.

The current number one expert of the Dragon Alliance, Leaf Emperor Yekaterina.

Seeing Yekaterina, the eyes of Ji Tian among the Five Dragons also held a bit more interest. Among the many Celestials, only Yekaterina of the Thunder Illusion Sect could fight him.

Yekaterina also noticed the gaze of Star Dragon Ji Yao; there is also a battle between the two of them.

Although they earned the title of Dragon Slayer Warrior, the Dragon Race they fought was not the strongest, and for Yekaterina, it was not an extraordinary honor; she had never cared about it to begin with. But Star Dragon Ji Yao is different; he is the direct son of the Star Dragon King, inheriting the unique power of the Star Dragon.

Defeating the Star Dragon is the true Dragon Slayer Warrior.

For top Celestials, the Dragon Race is not that mysterious; that they are invincible is just a rumor.

With Gaia and Kuta here, the situation of these people is like counting family heirlooms. Gaia is the king of gossip, while Kuta holds the power of money. The Jincancan Family focuses on observing and recording the representatives of the new generation of every major family and empire.

"Why is she called the Leaf Emperor? Does she have any signature skills?" Li Hao asked.

"Thunder Emperor Spanoer and Ice Emperor Trosi passed two S-Class Tasks!" Gaia revealed an expression of amazement.

"Except for the Endless Maze and the Twin Gemini Stars, the remaining eight are also very difficult. To be able to pass two, impressive!" Li Hao also had to admit the difficulty. He was able to pass half of them thanks to B Ge's preparation and the Golden Cell.

"What eight?"

"Aren't there ten S-Class Tasks in total? I remember the Endless Maze and the Twin Gemini Stars haven't been passed in recent years, so it shouldn't be them, right?"

"Big Brother, the ten you mentioned are the most difficult among the S-Class, selected by the Light King of the Holy Light Society. If those two were to pass that kind, then they wouldn't be just two Emperors; they could wrestle with the Leaf Emperor in any way, chasing after the late Emperor Augustus," Gaia laughed, "S-Class, how could it be so..."

As he spoke, Gaia could no longer laugh. Kuta on the side also realized the problem, "Ahem, Li Ge, you only left a little while before me, could it be..."

Endless Maze + Twin Gemini Stars?

Kuta at least knew a little, but Gaia was struck by lightning. The terrifying existence that all the major families have been searching for in recent rumors, the double S-Class Manager, Bald Cape Hero, is Li Ge?

Because Li Ge's hair is very lush, Gaia really didn't think in that direction. "And although I think Li Hao is very strong and amazing, let's put this matter aside for now. Later we can discuss how to make some money," Li Hao laughed. In this regard, the Jincancan Family is unique; perhaps their channels are better than the Dragon Alliance. "Now I feel the Dragon Race has some problems. What about Yekaterina? What are her characteristics?"

"Besides the ten impossible S-Class Tasks, there are many other S-Class Tasks, but the degree is not that high. And Yekaterina passed the 'Dream Abyss' among the ten S-Class Tasks, which is also an extremely terrifying task. Moreover, she is the next Saintess of the Thunder Illusion Sect. Besides her strength, her status is also transcendent. As for her real strength, I do not know."

"Li Ge, I know this. The Leaf Emperor is definitely the NO. 1 among the new generation of Universe Force Stage, and her Spirit talent is absolutely S-Class. Listening to your tone, do you know her?" Kuta smelled something.

Li Hao shook his head, "I have had contact."

"Oh, oh, what do you think? This is the top representative of the new generation of the Celestial race. Let's put it this way: Hermia is the Celestial Maiden with the highest status in the Star Alliance, and Yekaterina is the Celestial Maiden with the highest status in the Star Realm."

"It's alright." Li Hao pondered for a moment. To be able to reach that position and still be able to advance and retreat with poise, her strength should not be weak. It's just that it feels strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Everyone opened their mouths. What does "it's alright" mean?

But thinking of what Li Hao has done, it seems one really can say that. Gasimi was a bit confused and didn't know what had happened yet, but the shock and curiosity of Kuta and Gaia were like a cat scratching, only this secret was not suitable to be discussed here.

The Dragon Alliance Martial Arts began. People kept going on stage to challenge. Today, no one challenged the Five Dragons, but rather the Nine Holy Lights. If one could defeat a Holy Light, the most direct change would be to take their place. There were quite a few people who wanted to take this opportunity to prove themselves and become famous in one battle.

It is just that under a great reputation, there are no incompetent people. The first one to be challenged was Falandisi.

This person is hailed as the number one handsome man among the Celestials. Not only does he have a figure and appearance that can be called a male god template, but his strength is also first-class. Falandisi's sword technique is also good; not only does it have combat power, the key is that his movements are handsome. Every attack posture—not to mention whether he hits the opponent or not—the POSE value is maxed out. Every angle feels like it could be on the front page.

Following closely, those challenged included the Golden Giant Dekai of the Bobao Empire, a product of the war weapons of the Celestial Seed Civilization. But what is different about Dekai is that he awakened the God Seed in his genes, able to transform into a Golden Giant. The combat power of the Bobao Empire is also quite astonishing; it is the strongest among the Giant nations and worships force.

Dekai, who transformed into a Golden War God, easily destroyed the challenger's Heavenly Eye. The Golden Giant is said to possess the strongest defense among Galaxy creatures.

"Li Ge, this kind of Golden Giant is called a Titan in the civilization of the Giants. Back then, as a colony of the Celestials, it was under the leadership of the Titans that they started the war of independence. In the civilization of the Giants, theology and religion still hold the ruling status," Kuta said. He was excited, always feeling that something big was going to happen today.
