Lan Hua fell silent.

Although the seal in the passage is reinforced by the spiritual power of the Heavenly Domain, it can certainly stop many emperors, but it is impossible to stop a powerful emperor.

"So, you launched this great calamity in order to achieve the Emperor Realm?"

"Is it for the battle to ascend to heaven and guard the celestial realm, or for one's own strength?" Zi Yue said softly.

Everyone nodded.

Zhu Huang said, "We all knew that Xiao Huang and others had launched a great calamity, and we disagreed with it from the beginning."

But the Heavenly Emperor Dan Tian never returned, and with no one else able to become emperor, the Heavenly Realm was doomed to destruction!

"Although many people will die in the great calamity, if the Heavenly Realm falls, the number of deaths will be hundreds or thousands of times greater."

Emperor Dan nodded and said, "This is something we have no choice but to do!"

Seeing that Lan Hua's expression had softened, the Emperor knew that his anger had subsided somewhat, and seized the opportunity to say:

"Emperor Lan, now that you know the whole truth, will you still take action?"

Lan Hua ignored him for the moment, her gaze fixed on Dan Huang's face, and said:

"There's a question: after these major calamities, who will absorb the primordial power we gained?"

This is a very important question.

If this method of becoming an emperor is feasible, then the person who absorbs this power must be reliable.

Although the Heavenly Domain has temporarily lost its hidden agents on the second level, who can guarantee that none of the Heavenly Domain's emperors have defected to the source of the mist on the second level?

The Emperor Dan, being such a figure, naturally understood his thoughts and said:

"Naturally, it's the Emperor of the Owls. This plan was proposed by the Emperor of the Owls, so it's only right that he absorbs this power to become an emperor!"

Lan Hua shook her head. "I disagree!"

At this moment, Lan Hua declared her identity as an emperor, and the attitude of an emperor.

"The Emperor is a cunning and scheming man; he is unreliable. If it were someone else, I would have no objection!"

Zi Yue knew what Lan Hua was thinking, after all, the Owl Sect had brought Lan Hua a lot of trouble and problems in the lower realm.

Who can fathom the thoughts of those from the Owl Gate?

"I also disagree, unless sufficient reasons are given!"

Zi Yue stood firmly on Lan Hua's side.

Just as the Emperor was about to speak in support of the Emperor, he was stopped by the latter.

"Gentlemen, there's no need for that trouble!"

The Emperor said, "I am not qualified to become an emperor, so you need not worry, Emperor Lan!"

Lan Hua frowned slightly and asked curiously, "This was all carefully planned by you. How could you be willing to give up such a great opportunity to others? Are you plotting against someone else again?"

The Emperor laughed heartily, his laughter filled with domineering arrogance, his face showing utter disdain.

"Our Xiaomen sect does indeed calculate people, land, and heaven, but how could there be any conspiracy involved in what I, the Emperor, have said?"

The Sword Emperor and the Blade Emperor nodded and said, "That's right, not only can the Owl Emperor not become an Emperor, but neither can the two of us!"

Lan Hua narrowed her eyes slightly and asked curiously, "Why is that?"

The Emperor sighed, glanced at the skeletons in the surrounding hall, and a rare trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

"The three of us have launched a great calamity, which is against the laws of Heaven."

Having harmed so many celestial beings, his imperial aura has long been severed, and his cultivation has no possibility of further advancement!

"We cannot absorb this power, so even if the opportunity arises, we will give it to someone else!"

Everyone looked at the Sword Emperor and the Blade Emperor, who both nodded in agreement, acknowledging the fact.

Lan Hua was relieved, and her opinion of this tyrant began to change.

Who could have imagined that a scheming emperor would sacrifice his own hopes of becoming emperor for the sake of the future of the Heavenly Realm?

If even after all this, it's unreasonable to still consider him the source of the mystery.

Lan Hua nodded and said, "Your Majesty's righteousness is admirable!"

Zi Yue also put aside her hostility towards Xiao Huang and said, "Back in Tianhuang, you wanted to seize the Qiankun Bowl. How do you explain that?"

"Naturally, it should be given to the person with the best chance of becoming an emperor. After all, such a celestial treasure can greatly enhance combat power and may give them a better chance of defeating the source of the strange mist!"

Lan Hua looked at the other four emperors and snorted, "Demon Emperor, did you all come here for the power of origin within the Mother Origin King Cauldron?"

The Demon Emperor laughed and said, "I've only come to see if this primordial power is sufficient to grant me the throne!"

Lan Hua said "Oh," and then asked, "So what do you think?"

"I didn't realize how powerful an Emperor is. No one knows how much primordial power he needs!" said the Demon Emperor.

"If you feel it's not enough, you can wait until the next great calamity to absorb this power!"

The Emperor said calmly, as if everything was irrelevant to him at this moment.

"I'm afraid it's too late. Judging from the frequent attacks by the hidden agents, the strange mist's counterattack against the Heavenly Domain will soon begin!" said the Forging Emperor.

Emperor Xiao nodded slightly, "Therefore, regardless of whether this power is sufficient or not, it needs to be absorbed as soon as possible!"

"Since that's the case, then I, the Emperor, will do it. Once I've absorbed this power, I will immediately ascend to the second level!"

"Demon Emperor, you're no good!"

The one speaking was none other than the Evil Emperor.

"After the battle of Xuanyu, have your injuries healed?"

The Demon Emperor sneered, "Evil Emperor, so you're saying your injuries are completely healed?"

"Your forehead looks dark; do you have some hidden injury?"

At this moment, the Demon Emperor said, "Since we couldn't determine a winner back then, I think we should have a battle at the top of the Nine Heavens and see who is the rightful recipient of this opportunity!"

The Poison King nodded and said, "I think it's a good idea!"

Lan Hua shook her head speechlessly. If they really fought, they would definitely fight fiercely, and their very essence would inevitably be damaged.

Seeing the four emperors embroiled in a dispute, Emperor Xiaohuang could only smile helplessly.

"Gentlemen, all four of you are injured. Aren't there four other people here?"

Emperor Xiao looked at Emperor Zhu, Emperor Dan, Lan Hua, and Zi Yue and smiled.

Both the Forging Emperor and the Pill Emperor shook their heads, resolutely rejecting this opportunity.

Emperor Xiao said, "In that case, I recommend Emperor Lan."

Because the Lan Emperor has the greatest potential, capable of becoming an emperor in less than ten thousand years, he is absolutely the most suitable candidate for this opportunity!

The Emperor continued, "If the Emperor Lan is unwilling, the Emperor Yue may also do so!"

Lan Hua pondered for a moment. Although she was very tempted by this power, she carefully considered the reasons why the Forging Emperor and the Pill Emperor refused.

The two of them could have easily accepted this opportunity, but they declined.

Did they find out something?

At this moment, Zi Yue transmitted her voice, saying, "Xiao Hua Zi, this opportunity should not be accepted lightly. Although this power is strong, it is easy to get tainted by karma."

Even if the three of them, including the Emperor and the Emperor, take on the greatest karmic consequences, they will still be tainted by this power when they refine it.

More importantly, failing to become emperor will only negatively impact your future imperial path!

Lan Hua nodded inwardly; Zi Yue's words made sense.

Having mastered the Elixir of Heaven, he was fully capable of refining Emperor Pills and becoming an Emperor through his own power.

Although he possesses the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, which allows him to disregard cause and effect, he only has one chance to become an emperor and cannot use it indiscriminately.

"I'm sorry, I have no interest in this power. I will become emperor through my own strength!"

Emperor Dan looked at Lan Hua with an expression of great admiration.

The Emperor sighed, "If none of you are willing to use this power, then all our efforts will have been in vain?"

Emperor Zhu looked at the distant horizon, his eyes gleaming.

"Not necessarily, that person might agree!"
