Chapter 458

What does the Emperor of Heaven’s authority entail?

Naturally, it is boundless, ruling and controlling everything—whether heaven, earth, mortals, gods, ghosts, or the Three Realms, Six Realms, all things fall under the Emperor of Heaven’s jurisdiction.

In plain terms, everything in the world is under the Emperor of Heaven’s control.

Of course, the Divine Ox also knows such a definition is impossible, for it would inevitably fail; only a portion can be taken—ruling the myriad heavens and commanding all sages must be discarded, hence the title Northern Emperor, though even this is illusory.

“You don’t even look at the huge row of characters below the Shangdu sign—‘Mo Group’?” Mo Qing said with a smile.

The matter came so quietly that just as Xu Qi’an was rummaging aimlessly on the ground, a star map appeared before his eyes.

Though the tavern was obscure, the owner was extremely meticulous: the main hall was neatly and simply arranged, and the private rooms were exquisitely decorated.

Because these people were foreigners, and under Song law they signed servant contracts, seemingly protected by Song statutes, yet they were not considered human.

No matter what hardships await her on this journey, she had resolved to be a good person before Guanyin—just hold no ill will.

“Lin Yiren! You’re insane! How dare you hit me!” Shen Jingyan, enraged, strode forward several steps to stand before Lin Yiren.

It was the scruffy man Sha Yan who walked over and helped him up, finally stopping Li Zhipeng from continuing to kowtow; but when he saw it was Sha Yan, his expression instantly changed: “What the fuck is wrong with you? Why’d you scare me like that? Why didn’t you warn me sooner?”

Baili Lieyuan’s heart sank halfway, a great dread spreading from deep within, mixed with an ominous premonition.

The lack of hygiene knowledge meant the people of Yuanxia did not know to promptly dispose of corpses after battle; within just half a month, decaying bodies triggered disease, and plague raged through the army tents, spreading to every corner of the city after the troops returned.

“Send Qingge to help me back to my room,” Mo Qing said, beads of sweat forming on her brow, her face pale, yet one hand still gripped Mo Yunuo while the other pressed against the wound.

“What right do you have to speak to us like this now? How could there be a father as irresponsible as you? How can you even show your face here? What do you want?” Gongmu Moutian slammed his fist hard on the table.

“Then what should we do?” Luo Qiaoyu blinked her big eyes, looking at Luo Hongye with eager anticipation, clearly leaving all decisions to him.

“Don’t you know how aggressive that line is? But I like it.” Andy picked up Hisubu Kaori in his arms; she grew uneasy, then he kissed her.

Xu Hua glanced at Hua Jing, a faint, elusive smile on his lips, then closed his eyes—as if unwilling to speak further with her.

“What’s your better idea?” Yu Sheng knew Wu Doctor’s method could be applied throughout Tongcheng, so he asked urgently.

“Hey… you!” Nuomin Yu hadn’t finished speaking when the call ended. Damn it—had something really happened? Otherwise, with Nan Gong Linyi’s personality, he’d never be this tense.

Zi Chen was startled—she hadn’t expected this awakened game system to be Saint-class. In her memory fragments, every aspect of the game’s upgrades had always become better and stronger. Zi Chen had no hesitation; she activated her will and selected “Yes.”

Immediately, the massive body began trembling violently before the great gate, its shell glowing with white light so intense it blinded the eyes, while the iron chains tethering its limbs emitted a piercing “swish-swish-swish” with each tremor.

“Sakiki, if I die one day, will you be sad for me?” Qian Mo asked her, nearly in despair.

“Promise me you’ll always stay by my side,” Ouyang Yingqi threw herself into Nan Gong Linyi’s arms and held him tightly; she feared losing those around her again, just like Qian Mo.
