Harjite said to Xiao Xun, "Originally, I was an archer in the Phoenix Army. Later, you founded the Military Academy in the capital, so I signed up. After graduation, I became a tank commander. That time, I happened to support my father's Vengeance Spear, so I stayed."
Xiao Xun nodded, "So that's how it was."
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
"I'm returning to the capital."
"Coincidentally, we have the latest model of Zeppelin airship, which is much faster than before."
Xiao Xun nodded, "Good, then let's take this back!"
After everyone boarded the airship, the pilot started the propellers, and the giant airship began to fly forward at an extremely fast speed.
Xiao Xun looked at the cross and thought: God Emperor, with a God Emperor, there are other gods. But now, except for hearing about the God of Magic and the God of Demons, I haven't heard of any other gods. Why?
He shared his doubts with Bai Yang beside him, who said he didn't know either.
Since Xiao Xun told them to take off their masks, these twelve people had never worn them again.
Xiao Xun was eager to return home. He couldn't wait to see Mu Jiahe.
Accompanying Xiao Xun was a group of elite guards from the Vengeance Spear, belonging to Sanqiu's direct lineage, who were there before the Vengeance Spear was established.
The black armor, like ceramic, reflected light, making them look incredibly cool. Sanqiu, being the richest man in the country, was quite generous to his subordinates despite his previous stinginess.
Xiao Xun said to Bai Yang, "I'll get a set of armor made for you guys later. It's too unsightly to wear robes every day."
Unexpectedly, Bai Yang said, "My lord, we can only wear robes."
Xiao Xun looked at Bai Yang curiously, "Why?"
Bai Yang leaned down and said to the seated Xiao Xun, "Because we all have wings on our backs. In the entire continent, only devils have wings, so the teacher asked us to wear robes and cover our faces."
Xiao Xun stood up and looked at him in surprise, "You mean, all twelve of you have wings?"
Bai Yang nodded, "That's right, and that's also why we were taken in by the teacher."
Xiao Xun touched Bai Yang's back with both hands, then suddenly exerted force. He tore open the wide, loose robe with his bare hands.
Revealed beneath was a pair of wings bound by a golden thread, pure white and flawless.
Xiao Xun looked at Bai Yang in astonishment, "You are an angel!"
The Vengeance Spear guards also stood up, looking over in surprise.
Xiao Xun said with great certainty, "You are not demons. On the contrary, you are the nemesis of demons, holy angels."
He stomped his feet excitedly, "Oh! I understand, I understand... So that's how it is."
Everyone looked at Xiao Xun in confusion, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Xiao Xun looked at the twelve Star Envoys, "I finally know why I am the God Emperor. It's because of you. You are the angels who will save this world with me. Whether we can defeat the Demon King depends on you."
The twelve looked at each other, "Are you telling the truth?"
Xiao Xun spread his arms, "As a Prince of Santi Roman, the master of the Hall of Time and Space, how could I lie to you?"
Pisces asked excitedly, "Then can I wear those beautiful dresses from now on?"
Xiao Xun nodded, "Of course."
Taurus asked, "Then can I also wear that kind of shining golden armor like those people?"
"I'll go to Furnace Town and find the best craftsmen to make it for you."
At this moment, Xiao Xun had a further idea. With the twelve angels, he wanted to create a papacy that would be superior to royal power.
From now on, the Hall of Time and Space would be the holy temple of the papacy, and Jiagelouya, where the Twelve Palaces of Time and Space were located, would be the holy mountain.
He also needed to choose someone to be the Pope and spread the gospel for him.
The airship was halfway there, and Xiao Xun had not yet recovered from his excitement.
At this time, the Vengeance Spear guards said, "Look, that's the Dragon Tribe's sacred land, Mount Zhanjian Gan, right!"
"They're holding a funeral! I wonder who died."
"We've reached the Dragon Tribe's territory?"
Xiao Xun stood up and also leaned over to look out the window, but he couldn't see anything, so he said to Bai Yang behind him, "Let's go down."
Xiao Xun came to this place, which was the burial ground for the Dragon Tribe after death.
From a distance, Xiao Xun saw Per, "Per!"
Per turned around and saw Xiao Xun, then directly threw herself into his arms and cried, "Svein, my father emperor, he's dead."
Xiao Xun gently patted Per's back, "My condolences! My condolences!"
After the funeral, it was time to elect a new Dragon Emperor.
Originally, the Dragon Emperor only had one daughter, Per, but many people vied for the throne.
As the most respected guest, Xiao Xun naturally sat in a prominent position, not far from the Dragon Emperor's throne.
The twelve angels stood behind him, exuding great presence.
"It's just a Dragon Emperor! What's there to fight over? What benefits are there in becoming one?"
The Dragon Elder, Huate, said to Xiao Xun, "Your Highness, the position of Dragon Emperor is a sacred one, bestowed by our ancestor, the Dragon God, as the highest honor for dragons. Therefore, please respect these words and don't just think about benefits!"
Xiao Xun chuckled. Another Dragon God. It seemed that the gods of this world were slowly revealing themselves.
But he maintained a stern and serious expression, "Since there are no benefits, why are you all fighting? I think Per should be the one."
At this moment, a competitor disagreed, "Who says there are no benefits? First and foremost, the Dragon Emperor is the master of all dragons. Upon succession, tens of thousands of dragons on the continent will become subjects of the Dragon Emperor!"
Huate subtly observed Xiao Xun's expression but found nothing.
The competitor continued, "Furthermore, all the countries on the continent of Atlantis greatly respect the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Emperor's power can even control the changes in the continent's history. The most direct point is that all the Dragon Knights on the continent must obey the Dragon Emperor's summons, regardless of their nationality or race!"
One by one, the powers of the Dragon Emperor were spoken of by the competitors. It sounded quite good, but Xiao Xun didn't feel it. He still felt that being the God Emperor behind the scenes of the papacy was good, after all, it was divinely ordained power, and he would have the final say on the legitimacy of various countries in the future.
"I know the benefits. So, what does it take to become the Dragon Emperor?"
The Dragon Elder, Huate, explained, "Actually, there is only one thing the Dragon Emperor needs to do, which is to guard and promote the glory of the dragon race. It's very simple in practice. First, he must defeat any opponent who dares to challenge the dragon race! Then, when various races on the continent ignore the dragon race's existence, give them a small lesson."
"So, it's basically about fighting!"
Xiao Xun hit the nail on the head, revealing the true meaning of the title "Dragon Emperor," "And it's specifically about dealing with extremely powerful opponents!"
Huate fell silent, implicitly admitting it.
Xiao Xun heard this and looked at the people in front of him, "Elder Huate, let me ask one more question."
"Your Highness, you are too kind, please ask."
"Does the Dragon Emperor have the final say on the construction of Mount Qigaonei, the distribution of wealth, and the deployment of the dragon army?"
"These are trivial matters, usually handled by the council elders. Of course, we will seek the Dragon Emperor's opinion. As for the army issue you mentioned... according to the law, the Dragon Emperor has the right to deploy the dragon army. However, it must first be approved by the council elders."
Xiao Xun asked curiously, "What if the Dragon Emperor mobilizes the army without your consent?"
Huate replied calmly, "That would be a violation of the highest law of Mount Qigaonei! According to the council's decision, regardless of the circumstances, if seven elders agree, the Dragon Emperor can be deposed!"
