Hearing Lin Zhan’s words, the two giant pandas, Tie Lao Si and Tie Lao Wu, exchanged glances.
"Holy crap, this kid is too much..."
After speaking, the brothers gathered the Bai Hua wine from the ground, bid farewell to Lin Zhan, and swaggered away.
Lin Zhan looked at the two giant pandas with a mixed expression and said to the young Taoist priest:
“Brother-in-law, I feel like these two brutes just came to trick me out of my Bai Hua wine.”
The young Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “It’s possible, Big Brother. These two pandas have a history.”
Meanwhile, in the Great Shang Imperial Court.
All the Human Emperors of Huaxia were present, including Di Xin, who was attacking the Corpse Ghost clan in Fusang, and Xuan Hui and Xuan Hao from the Roman Special Zone, who had rushed back.
On the Great Shang’s destiny sacrificial altar.
Two Emperor-level powerful beings of the Lizardmen and dozens of Emperor-level Lizardmen.
All bound by rune-inscribed iron chains, they knelt on the Great Shang’s sacrificial altar.
Shang Jiawei walked up to the two Emperor-level Lizardmen and said, “The victor becomes king, the loser becomes a bandit. Lyon Borg, Avare Sanchez, you two should accept your fate.”
Avare Sanchez glared at Shang Jiawei with hatred and said, “Why did you choose our Lizardmen race? We didn’t attack Huaxia proactively.”
Shang Jiawei chuckled and said, “In the war of ten thousand races, no race is innocent. How many sons of Huaxia have died by your hands? You didn’t attack Huaxia proactively because Huaxia was strong enough. Do you think I don’t know what kind of scum you Lizardmen are? Forget it, stop thinking nonsense, I’ll send you on your way.”
With that, a flash of blade light cut through the air, and the heads of Lyon Borg and Avare Sanchez, the two Lizardmen, rolled far away.
Shang Jiawei wore a smile throughout the process of killing them. This Emperor-level powerful being of Great Shang truly lived up to his moniker, the Smiling Tiger.
The moment Lyon Borg and Avare Sanchez were beheaded, a massive purple light descended from the sky, landing on the Great Shang’s sacrificial altar.
The few Human Emperors of the Great Shang, along with the commanders of the Imperial Court Guard and the Human Kings, slew all the Lizardmen on the sacrificial altar.
The three stone coffins in the Great Shang Imperial Court instantly flew open, and three figures emerged from the coffins.
Shang Jiawei bowed to two of the figures and said, “Great-Grandfather, Ancestral-Grandfather.”
The members of Great Shang also hurriedly paid their respects.
After paying his respects, Shang Tang obediently walked up to a burly man dressed similarly to him and said, “Father, you’re awake.”
This burly man was Zhu Gui, known as the Bandit Chief, and the father of Shang Tang.
The other two figures, dressed as old men, were Chang Ruo and Cao Yu.
Both were certified by the destiny of the Human Race and were successors to the Human Race’s司空 (Sikong) during Emperor Shun’s era.
History’s evaluation of them was that of outstanding military strategists.
Far away in the starry sky, the moment the two Emperor-level powerful beings of Huaxia, Chang Ruo and Cao Yu, awakened, two Emperor Stars representing the Huaxia Human Race were instantly lit up.
At the same time, two incredibly sharp arrows shot down, hitting the two stars.
Following these two arrows, seven more arrows shot into the endless starry sky.
A series of muffled groans sounded simultaneously. Seven figures appeared in the starry sky, facing the Human Emperor Hou Yi, who stood with his bow, and said in a cold voice:
“Hou Yi, you’ve crossed the line. Our Star Spirit race is inherently neutral. You actually attacked our race. Aren’t you afraid of provoking a war between the Star Spirit race and Huaxia?”
Hou Yi scoffed, saying:
“You guys think too highly of yourselves. Let alone if you did nothing, even if I killed you all, would your Star Spirit race dare to trouble me? Would they dare to trouble a Great Emperor of Huaxia?”
“Your destiny is not apparent, and your Emperor status has not yet manifested. You dared to prematurely awaken the Emperor Stars of Huaxia, are you trying to send a message to the ten thousand races? It seems you want to start a war with Huaxia yourself.”
“The Star race is originally responsible for illuminating the Emperor Stars of various races and maintaining the stability of the star sea. You are splitting hairs.”
The leader of the Star Spirit race retorted to Hou Yi.
“Talking is useless. Before the destiny manifests, the Human Race’s Emperor Stars do not need you to illuminate them. Otherwise, it will be considered a declaration of war against Huaxia. Huaxia will spare no effort to annihilate your Star Spirit race. If you have the courage, you can try.”
Among all the Human Emperors of Huaxia, Hou Yi was definitely the most proactive one who would resort to action before arguing.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to confront the Golden Crow Ancestor in ancient times, resulting in him being severely injured and needing to recuperate.
Seeing Hou Yi’s tough stance, and knowing that Huaxia had already revived three Emperor-level powerful beings, the Star Spirit race could only back down: “We do not wish to go to war with Huaxia, but illuminating the Emperor Stars is our duty. Since the destiny has not yet manifested, we will not illuminate any race’s Emperor Star again. Once the destiny manifests, even if it means war with Huaxia, we will illuminate the Emperor Stars of various races.”
Hou Yi nodded upon hearing this and said, “Agreed. When the destiny manifests, Huaxia’s Emperor Star will be illuminated along with yours, and Huaxia will have no complaints.”
Afterward, Hou Yi clasped his hands and said, “Farewell.”
Watching Hou Yi’s figure disappear into the star sea.
Several Star Spirit race members began to converse:
“Big brother, Hou Yi is too arrogant. Are we just going to let it go like this?”
The leading Star Spirit race member shook his head, a wry smile on his face, saying:
“What else can we do? Our Star Spirit race no longer possesses the glory of the ancient Star race, nor do we have the powerful strength of the Star race. To this day, only one Emperor-level powerful being of the Star race has awakened.”
“But these two Emperor-level powerful beings revived by Huaxia this time are Great Shang Emperor-level beings who hold official positions. Such individuals, let alone now, even during the grand manifestation of destiny in ancient times, were beings not to be offended.”
“Forget it. Issue an order, the Star Spirit race will seal itself again, and we will emerge when the destiny manifests.”
Neither Hou Yi nor the big shots of Huaxia had expected that merely intending to put pressure on the Star Spirit race.
So that they wouldn’t spread the news of Huaxia’s three Emperor-level revivals, they had actually caused these timid fellows to seal themselves up.
If the people of Huaxia had known about this, they would have immediately distanced themselves.
After all, the Star race was the only race that did not participate in the war of ten thousand races.
