Cang Shitian's words made everyone look strange and their mouth corners twitched.
“Hmph,” Chi Wuyao’s voice suddenly turned cold. “God Emperor Shitian, you may pretend to be stupid, but if you insult the reputation of the Demon Lord, that is an unforgivable crime.”
Cang Shitian quickly knelt on one knee and said solemnly: "Shitian dare not. But this side of the Ten Directions Canglan Realm... please ask the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen to make it clear."
Yun Che turned his gaze away… Even he didn’t know what Chi Wuyao was going to do with the Ten Directions Canglan Realm. Chi Wuyao had not told him this privately before, obviously because she didn’t want him to reject her in person.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly focused and looked towards the southeast.
A huge aura was sweeping up the wind and clouds, approaching this side rapidly.
There were less than a hundred people, but each of them had the aura of a God Lord, and there were two God Emperors leading them. Without a doubt, this was a terrifying force that was capable of running rampant in any dimension.
However, this extremely powerful and mighty aura was clearly accompanied by a deep sense of haste and panic. The closer it got, the stronger the panic became, as if it was rushing towards a dark abyss of unknown life and death.
Xuanyuan Realm, Ziwei Realm.
Although a day had passed, the overly rich dragon blood still stabbed them to the bone. The piled-up dragon god corpses and the high-hanging dragon emperor head frightened them so much that their internal organs almost burst. Yukong's legs were shaking crazily, unable to stop.
Plop!
Across a great distance, the leading Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei fell to their knees on the ground, howling at the top of their lungs: "Xuanyuan (Ziwei) is too late to rescue us, please forgive the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen... Fortunately, the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen's divine power is so great that we are safe and sound. They have even trampled all the realms in the Western Regions and slayed the evil... The evil dragon that brought disaster to the world, from now on, all the heavens and the world will be under the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen's fingers, this power will surely shake the world for thousands of years and cover the sky forever!"
Apologies, praises, and loyalty... However, the voices of the two emperors were trembling more and more violently.
Less than three miles in front of their knees, Long Bai's head was hanging high.
In the back, the descendants of the gods and the elder gods from the Xuanyuan and Ziwei worlds all knelt on the ground in unison, none of them dared to show their usual arrogant attitude.
Including the Dragon God Realm, all the gods of the four king realms in the Western Region were killed... This news was so terrible that they dared not believe a single word of it.
Chi Wuyao’s demonic eyes turned darkly, and her cold gaze slowly swept over them: “You came at the perfect time.”
Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei's pupils dilated at the same time, and their flesh and bones contracted. Emperor Xuanyuan's head drooped, his upper body almost touching the ground: "Dragon Emperor... Oh no, the actions of the Western Region Demon Dragon were too sudden. After we received the news, we were fully prepared and rushed here at full speed. We never thought that the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen would be so powerful that they crushed the Demon Dragon in just one day."
Emperor Ziwei also said in panic: "On the day when Nanming collapsed, we were willing to join the Demon Lord. Our loyalty is witnessed by heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon can testify to it. But...but this time the rescue came too late, and we did not do a good job. We have no face to defend ourselves and are willing to accept the punishment from the Demon Lord."
The two great God-Emperors knelt on the ground, weeping and sobbing. Not a bit of the imperial demeanor was left in them… Behind them, the faces of the God-Relics and elders were filled with extremely complicated expressions.
Previously, the two God Emperors' submission was a temporary measure under duress. But now the situation is completely different. The previous humiliation has now become a fortunate choice.
In the war between the North Region and the West Region, they chose to watch from the other side, not helping Yun Che or Long Bai. In this way, even if Yun Che was punished, it would not be a heinous crime.
“Demon Lord,” Chi Wuyao asked, “How should they deal with it?”
Yun Che tilted his eyebrows and said coldly: "If you are useful, stay, if you are useless, die!"
“It’s useful! It’s useful!!” Yun Che’s words shocked the two God Emperors, and they rushed to speak out: “The people of Xuanyuan Realm are willing to let the Demon Lord drive them. Even if we die, we will have no regrets!”
"The Ziwei lineage is willing to offer eternal loyalty to the Demon Lord!"
“Xuanyuan, Ziwei, listen to me.” Chi Wuyao spoke calmly. When the first word came out of her lips, the voices of the two emperors stopped firmly. “I will give you five months. While continuing to wipe out the remnants of the Nanming, let all the realm kings of the upper star realms in the Southern Divine Region take the initiative to come to the Demon Lord’s knees and swear allegiance within five months.”
Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei looked up, their faces expressing great emotion.
"If you can do it within five months, you can stay here intact. If you can't... humph, useless and guilty people, there is really no reason for you to stay here."
Five months... All the upper star realms in the southern region... Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei felt bitter and their scalps tingled, but they did not dare to bargain at all and could only agree obediently: "My little king, I obey your order. We will do our best in this matter."
“Oh, right.” Chi Wuyao continued, “If you encounter a tough bone, you don’t have to waste too much time, just smash it directly.”
"However, you must remember that the Demon Lord once saved the world, but was betrayed by the world. Now that the emperor has come to the world, he could have punished all crimes to vent his hatred, but he chose to return peace to the world with a benevolent heart. However, some fools and some star realms are stubborn and not only have no gratitude, but also want to go against the will of heaven and make trouble. You can't stand it, and in order to maintain the peace of the Southern Region, you choose to punish them. It is definitely not the Demon Lord's instruction. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand." Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei nodded repeatedly, and their hearts suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Those who are disobedient can be crushed to death... This way, it will be much easier.
"This is an opportunity bestowed upon you by the Demon Lord. You'd better not mess it up."
After saying this, Chi Wuyao no longer looked at them and turned to Cang Shitian.
"Cang Shitian, I have received the instruction from the Demon Lord to appoint you as the leader of the 'Order Maintainers'. You will be directly under the command of the Demon Lord and me, and will be dedicated to wiping out those who are rebelling against order and causing chaos in the world."
The three words "Order Maintainer" pierced Cang Shitian's nerves. He instantly understood what kind of identity this was. The blood in his body was surging and surging like an explosion. His face was full of excitement. He bowed and said, "Shitian thanks the Demon Lord and Demon Queen for their gift! Shitian will spend the rest of his life to maintain order in the world for the Demon Lord and Demon Queen, and eliminate all the demons and monsters that should not exist!"
Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei, who were still kneeling on the ground, were shocked, envious and jealous.
He is directly under the control of the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen, and has the terrifying word "Maintainer of Order"… Cang Shitian is almost equivalent to having an authority below that of the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen, but superior to all realms and worlds, and even above the God Emperor of the King Realm.
Chi Wuyao said, “You will be formally conferred the title and reward at the Emperor Conferment Ceremony in half a year. By then, the Order Upholders will have taken shape. Cang Shitian, the Demon Lord has not only forgiven your previous sins, but has also placed you in such high esteem. You must not let the Demon Lord down.”
"Yes." Cang Shitian responded excitedly, and then asked: "Since we must do our best to maintain order in the world for the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen, we must not miss any time to take care of the Ten Directions Canglan Realm. As for the person who will succeed the God Emperor... I wonder what arrangements the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen have?"
Talking to a smart person was a relief, so Chi Wuyao didn’t need to say anything extraneous and said directly, “Within a month, your position as the Canglan Divine Emperor will be passed on to your sister, Cang Shu’e.”
“……!?” This name made Cang Shitian’s eyes move violently.
Qianye Ying'er also frowned instantly: She!?
Cang Shitian naturally lowered his head, wiping out the shock in his pupils as quickly as possible, and said in a calm voice: "It is my sister's fortune that the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen appreciate her so much. However, the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen may not know that Shu's body has been weak and sickly since childhood. Not only is she weak in the profound way, but she is also very inexperienced in the world. In particular, she cannot match Canglan's divine power. She may be the least suitable person to succeed the Divine Emperor among Shitian's many brothers and sisters, and even his children and grandchildren."
Chi Wuyao smiled calmly, “Since this Queen says she is suitable, then she is suitable. You only need to hand over the throne, not the Canglan Divine Pearl. What she has is only a false title, and the real emperor is still you, Cang Shitian. Therefore, her ability is not important.”
“As for the Canglan divine power, you don’t have to worry about it. The Demon Lord will naturally make her compatible with it and will not allow a God Emperor without the Canglan divine power to appear in the history of the Ten Directions Canglan Realm. And this is also a great accomplishment and gift to Cang Shu’e, isn’t it?”
"I see." Cang Shitian bowed his head and said, "Shitian will obey the orders of the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen. Within a month, Shitian will pass the position of Canglan God Emperor to Shuzhen, and on Shuzhen's behalf, I will thank the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen for their kindness."
His head was lowered so that no one could see. Compared to the excitement in his voice, his pupils were dilating and shrinking chaotically, and his teeth were chattering slightly.
“What should I do next? Do you still need me to teach you?” Chi Wuyao chuckled.
Cang Shitian immediately said: "After Shu'an succeeds to the throne, she will announce her marriage to the Demon Lord as his concubine at the right time, and the Ten Directions Canglan Realm will also be under the control of the Demon Lord."
“Very good.” Chi Wuyao nodded slowly, “It’s no wonder that the Demon Lord values you so much.”
Yun Che saw Cang Shitian's expression suddenly out of control, as well as Qianye Ying'er's abnormal reaction. He sent a voice message to Qianye Ying'er, "What's so special about Cang Shu'er?"
Qianye Ying'er glanced at him and said, "To put it simply, she is the daughter of Canglan, whom Cang Shitian tried very hard to make outsiders forget. Even I almost forgot her existence. I didn't expect that she was still alive... and was dug out by Chi Wuyao."
“Hmm?” Yun Che frowned: “Who is it?”
Qianye Ying'er asked, "Do you think, with Cang Shitian's personality, he would be willing to become the Canglan Divine Emperor?"
Yun Che thought for a moment and said, “From what I have seen so far, he does not fit the description of Divine Emperor at all.”
The God Emperor symbolizes supreme status and power, but is also a kind of restraint. His every word, action, and even every gesture represent a kingdom, or even a divine domain.
But given Cang Shitian's temperament, restraint is the thing he cannot tolerate the most.
"That's right. And according to Qianye Fantian, Cang Shitian's throne was not inherited passively, but was obtained forcefully by ruthless means. The reason why he used all means to become the emperor of Canglan was because of Cang Shu'e."
"Why?" Yun Che asked. In all the years he had been in the God Realm, he had never heard anyone mention the name Cang Shu'er.
Qianye Ying'er sorted out the somewhat vague memories from Qianye Fantian and said, "Cang Shitian was born to the concubine of the late Emperor Canglan. Both mother and son were not of high status, but Cang Shitian not only showed extremely amazing talent since he was a child, but also triggered the resonance of the Canglan Divine Pearl when he was a thousand years old."
"Because of this, his eldest brother was wary of him. He was afraid that Cang Shitian would threaten his position as the Crown Prince of Canglan, so he wanted to kill him before he inherited the power of Canglan... But he was stopped by his mother, who was seriously injured and pregnant at the time. She passed away after giving birth to a daughter with great difficulty. Before she died, her mother did not entrust her daughter to the emotionally insensitive Canglan God Emperor, but to Cang Shitian."
"It is said that after that, he changed his name to 'Shi Tian'." Qianye Ying'er's lips twitched: "It's a bit funny to say that, the name Cang Shu'an was also given by Cang Shi Tian."
It is indeed ridiculous that a man who named himself "Shi Tian" named his younger sister "Shu'an".
“Just to fulfill my mother’s request?” Yun Che found it hard to accept. Cang Shitian, who was like a mad dog and wanted to crush all rules and etiquette under his feet, could actually be someone who valued blood relatives so much?
Qianye Ying'er continued, "Because she was severely injured in the womb, Cang Shu'an has been suffering from a serious illness since birth and is extremely weak. If it weren't for the protection of Cang Shitian, who had become the Sea God at the time, she would probably not have lived for more than a hundred years."
"But, this sick princess has a beautiful appearance." Qianye Ying'er snorted lightly, "It is said that after the lustful devil Nan Wansheng accidentally saw her once, he shamelessly stepped into the Ten Directions Canglan Realm more than 20 times in the next three years. Then, rumors spread that the God Emperor of Canglan wanted to marry Cang Shu'an to Nan Wansheng as his queen."
“Become the queen!?” Yun Che’s eyebrows moved violently. Being a concubine and being the queen were two completely different concepts… Moreover, that was the number one king realm in the Southern Divine Region.
He had set foot there more than twenty times in three years. This level of madness was comparable to when he had been pursuing Qianye Ying'er for nearly a thousand years.
"That's right." Qianye Ying'er said, "You can imagine how crazy Nan Wansheng is about Cang Shu'an. Just two months after this rumor spread, the Canglan Realm suddenly changed. Cang Shitian used some unknown means to snatch the Canglan Divine Pearl from the Canglan Divine Emperor and forced him to abdicate the throne and pass it on to himself."
"After Cang Shitian was crowned as the emperor, he announced that Cang Shu'an was seriously ill and in critical condition and needed a long period of recuperation... After that, there were almost no rumors about Cang Shu'an in the world, and it seemed that no one had seen her again. Even Nan Wansheng never saw her again when he visited Canglan."
"Later on, the entire Canglan Realm was controlled by Cang Shitian. And the name of Cang Shu'er was gradually forgotten. Occasionally, there were rumors that she had died of illness a long time ago."
“Come to think of it…” Qianye Ying’er half-closed her golden eyes and stared at Chi Wuyao: “Even I have never seen Cang Shu’ao, and I almost forgot this name. How did she know about it… and she is sure that she is still in Canglan.”
"Maybe she has really found Cang Shitian's weakness this time... and it might be his only weakness." Qianye Ying'er's eyes flickered with a faint light: "This woman is so scary that it makes people gnash their teeth."
She even suspected that Chi Wuyao had secretly given Cang Shitian his soul.
"Demon Lord, Demon Queen, where are we going then?" Fen Daoqi stepped forward and said.
Chi Wuyao turned her head and sighed, “Return to the Northern Territory.”
