Hearing the sound, Meng Po's body stiffened.
“Who…who is talking!”
It has already surpassed most of its original strength and is confident that it can defeat any enemy that dares to stand in its way.
Even Wei in his prime might not be beyond his reach.
In front of the hall door, it looked around and saw only purple air in the sky, with golden light dotted in the purple.
Meng Po clenched her hands vigorously, and with herself as the starting point, one "human hand" after another exploded in the surrounding space. The second section of the human hand extended infinitely, covering the entire area around the Golden Throne Hall.
No people, no tricks.
Meng Po looked around vigilantly, trying to find out if there was a so-called guardian beast among them.
"Why can you be so stupid?"
The sound came from all directions again. The first time, it seemed like it was in the hall. The second time, it seemed like the whole world was speaking.
"You can think of leveraging the legacy of the old dynasty, but why haven't you ever considered using the existing strong individuals as a foundation?"
This sound...brain, is it coming from my brain?
No, that's not right. He gradually walked into my mind from the hall!
Meng Po held her head with both hands and her whole body was shaking.
My eyes blurred, and a human figure gradually separated from it.
He had no form, just a shadow.
What can I do? It’s so entangled!
Meng Po's eyes turned red, and the countless hands in front of her were like trains running at full speed, each of them tightly grasping the location of the phantom.
However, one arm after another passed through the phantom without causing any harm to it.
On the other hand, the shadow faced Meng Po and gently raised its head, which was in excruciating pain and had to be lowered.
"How stupid must you be to not realize that I am one of your own halberd guards?"
A pale golden shadow, with only the outline of the head and no facial features, but one could feel the disappointment it emanated.
"You just need to gradually turn the little monsters inside into your subordinates, and finally... eat the halberd guards. Your journey does not end here."
"My path is right in front of me. On that dragon throne, I am the emperor, the first generation of the Weird Emperor!"
Meng Po scolded angrily with a ferocious expression.
How could it not have thought about what the phantom said?
But what about the difficulty?
If you want to take all the tricks in the eternal night for yourself, it will take several times longer and the danger will be more than a hundred times greater.
On the other hand, with this shortcut, I can use all the tools I can use to enter the destroyed city, even if they are just shapes. By crossing the restrictions of this fallen land, can't I still reach the Golden Throne Hall?
Since both are possible, why not do it simply and choose the difficult mode.
"When you retreat in the face of difficulty and dare not even touch a tiny Eternal Night, are you still considered an emperor?"
The shadow felt pity for the other person. "Doing something because you have the ability to do it and daring to do it regardless of whether you have the ability to do it are two different things. Cowardice is hidden in your bones. Whether you become the emperor or not, you can't get rid of it, just like..."
“A dog that eats shit will never amount to anything even if it mixes with a pack of wolves.”
Meng Po felt the pressure coming at her and stepped forward, her eyes wide with anger. "I can't believe a single word humans say. You're disturbing my state of mind here. Are you afraid that I'll take the throne?"
The shadow sneered, slowly made way, walked to its side, and looked at the scene outside.
Unlike Meng Po's arrogance, when he saw the black air that was constantly converging in the wide area, he was slightly stunned.
"This man is quite clever."
Meng Po ignored it and just walked forward step by step with all her strength. At first, she could only walk three feet with one step.
Then two feet... one foot, eight inches...
The steps taken are getting shorter and shorter, but the energy consumed is getting greater.
Until the end, I was just standing still. Even when I was tired, I couldn't bend forward. It was as if there was a wall of air standing in front of me, preventing me from taking even half a step forward.
"Get rid of this disgusting move of yours, or I'll kill you!"
Meng Po looked at the shadow next to her fiercely. She was sure that it was the "person" in front of her who did the good deed.
The shadow was still admiring the scenery over there, muttering, "It's still possible! Why didn't I think of this? The person he sees as a disaster for the country looks just like my former subordinates..."
After being interrupted by Meng Po, the shadow did not get angry. He casually stepped over the distance in front of Meng Po that could not be crossed.
"Do you know why I told you so much?" asked the phantom.
Meng Po initially thought that this was because she was afraid that it would step onto the throne, but now it seems that is not the case.
No matter why it cannot move forward even half a step, it proves that the other party has no reason to hold it back.
This Golden Palace...it can't enter.
Meng Po was confused. Besides, she couldn't understand why the phantom she had never met before was talking to her.
Seeing the shadow, he raised his hand and slapped it on the face, making it retreat several steps. Then he grabbed its neck with a single hand and pulled it in front of him.
This pull brought them even one step closer to the Golden Palace than the previous one.
"Because you used such a foolish method to make me come here early, my great cause may be ruined by an idiot like you."
With this grab, the purple energy that was supposed to be attached to Meng Po gradually transferred to it.
Meng Po was dumbfounded. She tried her best to grab forward with her hands, but she could only watch the purple air penetrate into the body of the phantom.
The previously invisible feet began to slowly touch the ground, and the blurred outlines gradually became clear.
Even the facial features began to take shape.
The ethereal voice became deep.
"But it doesn't matter. The world without an emperor is unexpected. It saves the trouble of beheading a new emperor. There's nothing wrong with achieving immortality in advance."
"Longevity? You, you are——"
Meng Po opened her mouth in shock, recalling the emperor who cut off the road to disaster for the country.
There is no sense of incongruity when overlapping with it.
In front of it was the long-dead emperor!
"No, it's impossible. Everyone is sure you're dead. Everyone..."
"Well, it's a pity that you are useless."
The shadow sighed, "I killed the scourge of the nation in front of you, so that after my death, you could rebel and bring down the dynasty, saving you trouble when you ascend the throne again."
"I didn't expect you to be so stupid. You carefully selected so many guards, but only accomplished a few things."
Maybe he hadn't spoken for too long, or maybe he still had some time to wait for the purple energy to enter his body, so he was just trying to kill time.
It began to tell Meng Po its original plan.
"The Jiwei should swallow up all the guards into the Eternal Night, using themselves as a foundation to bring them all under their command, or swallow them all."
"If that's not possible, I've specially reserved the Moon Fox Clan, hoping they can serve as a backup against the Halberd Guards. By gathering all those outside of Eternal Night within their grasp, I can achieve a balance of power."
"I even left behind a place where people fell, and a message that hinted at a path to disaster for the country, hoping that some little ghost would kill the Jiwei, my most loyal subordinate, and step into this palace."
The shadow said disappointedly: "As a result, until now, none of you have become a successful person."
"It's all junk."
