Ding Yi shook his head and said coldly, "Not to mention that even a True Monarch might not be able to control the situation within this Heavenly Realm, does a True Monarch really think this is the time when the order of the Three Realms is at its peak?"

"Now that the Heavenly Realm has collapsed and the Underworld has been overthrown, there are still hundreds of Heavenly Immortals in the Human Realm eyeing it covetously, including many Grand Luo Immortals. Can Erlang Zhenjun really hold onto this Heavenly Book?"

Faced with Ding Yi's sarcasm, Wang Shuo remained unmoved, merely offering a faint smile.

"Does the Mystic Maiden think that I, the True Lord, am fighting alone?"

"What's the meaning?"

Ding Yixiu frowned slightly.

"I have already reached an agreement with the kings and nobles of the human realm. Someone will take care of the aftermath for me. If it is only a threat from the human realm, Xuan Nu need not worry."

Wang Shuo said casually.

The two made no attempt to conceal their conversation, and everyone present heard it.

Bai Fei and Zhao Keyi only understood half of what they heard, but Shen Qian was secretly alarmed.

The amount of information conveyed in their conversation was enormous!

First, it confirms the importance of the Heavenly Book. As long as one controls the Heavenly Book, it is possible to decipher the secrets of the Heavenly Emperor and even directly control the Heavenly Realm!

Furthermore, according to the description of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the so-called "celestial immortals" should correspond to powerful individuals at the level of kings and marquises, and the number of several hundred people is consistent with the number of kings and marquises on Earth.

However, before sinking, I wasn't quite sure what "Da Luo" referred to.

A Great Immortal? A Top-Tier King?

Or is it a terrifying existence like the original Nine Kings?

Wang Shuo's last words also resolved some of the doubts in Shen Qian's mind.

Why is Erlang Shen reborn in Wang Shuo's body? You have to know that Wang Shuo is the personal disciple of Yanshan Gong!

This is by no means a coincidence.

Rather... Erlang Shen had already reached some kind of agreement with Duke Yanshan and even Duke Tianning, among others.

It's no wonder that Nie Han and Ning Quan appeared in the Heavenly Realm, and were willingly driven by Wang Shuo at this moment.

Ding Yi was clearly taken aback by what Wang Shuo said. She said with some surprise, "It seems that the True Lord's revival will come sooner than I expected."

"how?"

Erlang Shen then said, "If Xuan Nu agrees, I can promise that when I ascend the throne, Xuan Nu can sit in the Western Palace and jointly govern the Heavenly Realm with me!"

"You've casually granted me the position of Queen Mother of the West; you're quite generous, True Lord."

Ding Yi smiled faintly, "But has True Lord ever considered one question?"

"What?"

“If the Heavenly Emperor…” Ding Yi took a step forward, her hair flying amidst an invisible aura of power, and said, word by word, “has not perished?”

"That's impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuo's expression changed drastically. "Back then, it was clearly..."

"The Heavenly Emperor has disappeared, but has anyone personally witnessed his life or death?"

Ding Yi spoke with a resounding tone. Although his facial features were still the same, his expression had changed completely.

“True Lord is also an elder of the Heavenly Realm. Let me ask you, if the will of the Heavenly Emperor does not truly exist, could the Heavenly Realm be restored to its current state by these despicable humans who have usurped the Heavenly Realm?”

As he spoke, Ding Yi pointed to Jiang Chengye, who was not far away.

Jiang Chengye, who had been observing coldly, narrowed his eyes when he saw that Ding Yi had actually turned his attention to him, and a dangerous aura emanated from his entire body.

"The Mysterious Woman should be careful with her words before speaking."

Jiang Chengye said coldly.

As his words fell, the sound of clashing weapons rang out continuously. Suddenly, countless heavenly soldiers emerged from outside the main hall, their killing intent radiating as they stared at Ding Yi.

Erlang Zhenjun was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly after a long while: "So, the Mysterious Maiden's plan is to completely revive the Heavenly Emperor..."

“That’s right, I admit that it’s impossible for someone at the Heavenly Emperor’s level to completely disappear from the world. But even if the Heavenly Emperor hadn’t died, he would at most be a wandering ghost now. Otherwise, why doesn’t he just show himself?”

Ding Yi remained unmoved in the face of Wang Shuo's questioning.

"I dare not presume to comment on the Heavenly Emperor's thoughts, but since the banquet at Yaochi today was arranged by the Heavenly Emperor, why doesn't Erlang Zhenjun wait a while to see if the Heavenly Emperor is still alive in this world?"

"You want to play stalling games with me, don't you?"

Erlang Shen sneered.

Ding remained unfazed, unaffected by Wang Shuo seeing through his thoughts. He simply asked, "The True Lord dares not delay?"

"What's there to be afraid of!" Wang Shuo sneered. "Fine, then I'll wait with you and see if the Heavenly Emperor really descends!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shuo looked at Jiang Chengye again.

"And that vixen behind you, what exactly is she plotting? Don't think I know nothing about it. Today, I'll play along with you to the very end, and we'll see who has the last laugh!"

Jiang Chengye remained indifferent and did not respond to Wang Shuo. He simply waved his hand, and the countless heavenly soldiers gathered outside the main hall returned to their positions.

Wang Shuo led Nie Han and the others to sit down in front of a table on the other side. Ritual music played, and fairies continued to move through the hall, as if the scene from just now had never happened.

However, the atmosphere in the air seemed to have become somewhat stagnant.

"What do we do now that we've sunk?" Zhao Keyi asked anxiously.

What can we do?

Shen Qian shrugged. "Just wait."

"Are we just going to wait here like this?" Zhao Keyi hesitated. "Or, should we leave this place of trouble first? I have a bad feeling about this..."

"You really think we can still leave?"

Shen Qian sighed, "Now it's basically confirmed that everyone's target is the Heavenly Book, and we have a page on us... Didn't you notice that Nie Han and the others' auras have already locked onto us from afar?"
