“Human Emperor’s Authority, unification of the two regions, hidden manipulator, recreating the Human Emperor…”
Dongfang Liuli’s beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. Such a brief statement almost shattered her worldview.
She suddenly realized that the familiar world seemed to have become strange.
In this chaotic era, it all traced back to the first Human Emperor, even originating from the era of gods. The first Human Emperor had ended the era of gods and opened a new chapter for humanity, thus ascending to the throne.
The unification war involved the authority of the Heavenly Dao.
“So, the source of thousands of years of bloody conflict, with people dying and lands shattered, was just for a so-called authority…”
“The authority of the Heavenly Dao, isn’t it just a slave’s chain? Cultivators fight against the heavens, struggling all the way, only to end up fighting for a dog leash, bound by the Heavenly Dao, without freedom. How ridiculous!”
Dongfang Liuli’s phoenix eyes turned icy cold, and she couldn’t help but laugh at herself.
Meng Qingzhou knew her identity, so he wasn’t surprised by her words.
The Empress fought not for power, but to end the chaos and bring about a peaceful and prosperous era, giving the people a bright future.
Suddenly learning a part of the world’s truth, it was normal for her to feel unsettled and doubt herself.
If Meng Qingzhou hadn’t been a time traveler who had already seen through everything, he might have collapsed too.
“You…”
Meng Qingzhou was about to comfort her.
Suddenly.
He sensed a change in Dongfang Liuli’s aura. She silently stood up and gazed at the vast sky.
Though she said nothing, Meng Qingzhou knew that her state of mind was transforming!
Dongfang Liuli’s eyes grew increasingly intense and fiery. The fortune of the entire Wilderness, encompassing three-quarters of it, surged towards her, forming a tornado that she absorbed.
Meng Qingzhou couldn’t detect the fluctuations in Dongfang Liuli’s cultivation, but he was very clear that she was about to break through!
She was pretending to be at the early stage of the Morning Glow Realm, but she was actually at the mid-stage, and now she was breaking through to the late stage!
Such a transformation from a change in mindset…
“Could it be that she made a great vow? Ancient texts record that a true Buddha, seeing the suffering of all beings, made a vow: ‘Hell will be empty, and I will not become a Buddha.’ And then immediately attained enlightenment.”
“Liuli…”
“What kind of vow did she make?”
Meng Qingzhou’s expression became solemn. He constructed a small world with his Sword Sense domain, enveloping the capital city of Langya to prevent any unforeseen events.
“A born emperor…” Meng Qingzhou recalled how people used to describe Dongfang Liuli.
There were born gods in the era of gods, originating from a group of naturally born deities.
And a born emperor, throughout history, there was only Dongfang Liuli. Even the first Human Emperor didn’t receive such an evaluation.
The only master of time and space.
The only born emperor.
It truly confirmed the saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.”
Meng Qingzhou sighed inwardly, calculating the time. Moments later, the turbulent winds and the fortune of the Wilderness gradually calmed down.
“Thank you, young master, for your protection.”
Dongfang Liuli opened her phoenix eyes and bowed slightly, her overwhelming aura retracted.
The late stage of the Morning Glow Realm, broken through!
“No need to thank me. Did you have an epiphany that helped you break through?” Meng Qingzhou asked knowingly.
Dongfang Liuli nodded slightly, hesitating:
“Yes… and no.”
“It’s strange, hard to explain.”
Meng Qingzhou was curious and asked, “Oh? Tell me, maybe I can help you understand.”
Dongfang Liuli opened her palm, and a golden lotus slowly bloomed, exuding imperial majesty. It looked beautiful but was extremely dangerous.
“Young master, you mentioned fortune earlier. Do you know what fortune truly does?”
Hearing this, Meng Qingzhou’s brows furrowed deeply.
Dongfang Liuli didn’t speak directly, perhaps worried about revealing her identity, but he knew the fortune she mentioned must be the fortune of the Wilderness!
Great Jin controlled three-quarters of the Wilderness’s fortune, most of it in the hands of the Empress.
But this fortune was only residing in Great Jin, not truly becoming its own.
Thinking of this.
Meng Qingzhou took a deep breath and said solemnly:
“If I’m not mistaken, the fortune you absorbed should be the fortune of the Wilderness, right?”
“Don’t deny it. I don’t care where you got this fortune from, but it has both advantages and disadvantages. It’s both an opportunity and a crisis!”
Dongfang Liuli didn’t understand his meaning but could feel Meng Qingzhou’s seriousness, so she also became serious.
Wu Die and Su Qingqiu also sensed the heavy atmosphere, drawing closer and focusing their gazes on Meng Qingzhou, waiting for him to continue.
“Listen carefully.”
Before speaking, Meng Qingzhou carefully recalled the descriptions in the book, organized his thoughts, and then slowly began:
“The Wilderness and Sky State, two regions, many years ago, these two worlds were united. For some unknown reason, they were split apart.”
“The Human Emperor’s Authority was thus divided into two, scattered across the Wilderness and Sky State.”
“And how to obtain the Human Emperor’s Authority involves the concept of fortune!”
Meng Qingzhou turned to “look” at Dongfang Liuli and said:
“Fortune equals authority. Do you understand this concept now?”
“The only known way to obtain authority is to unify the two regions, making the authority whole and gaining the Heavenly Dao’s recognition.”
“And you, perhaps, have opened a new path. By making a great vow, you gained the Heavenly Dao’s recognition in advance, and part of the Wilderness’s fortune has already acknowledged you as its master.”
At this point.
The courtyard fell silent.
Su Qingqiu and Wu Die, half-understanding, exchanged glances, both somewhat shocked.
Gaining the Heavenly Dao’s recognition, the Human Emperor’s Authority!?
Just hearing these terms, they knew it was no small matter.
Dongfang Liuli slightly parted her red lips, speechless.
“Well, whether it’s a blessing or a curse, I don’t know.”
Meng Qingzhou sighed and continued:
“The greatest opportunity in this world is authority and fortune. It can help you reach unprecedented heights.”
“But…”
“It’s also poison. You will be completely opposed to the hidden manipulators, with no room for retreat. You must fight to the death, but fortunately, they don’t know you’ve gained the Heavenly Dao’s recognition in advance.”
“Moreover, do you really want to seize the Human Emperor’s throne and wear the shackles of the Heavenly Dao?”
“Whether you win or lose, the outcome won’t be good. If you lose, you’ll perish. If you win, you’ll become a slave to the Heavenly Dao…”
