Li Hansong was taken aback.
"Is this cat looking down on me?" Li Hansong exclaimed, deciding that he would teach this silly cat a lesson sometime.
"Why are you arguing with a cat?" Fang Ping said speechlessly.
That's right, that's right...
The gray cat nodded repeatedly.
"Cangmao, here's your gift," Cao Ya said with a smile, taking out some cat food from his inner world and giving it to Cangmao, letting it pass it on to Ermao.
"Meow, thank you, Cao Ya." Cang Mao happily took the cat food and delivered it to Er Mao.
"You three... work hard. Our gifts are just presents, external help. If you want to become emperors, you still have to rely on yourselves," Zhan Tiandi said to Wang Jinyang, Li Hansong, and Yao Chengjun.
"Break 100 million cards, did you hear me? Otherwise, you'll be a disgrace to me!" The Overlord Emperor glared at Li Hansong.
"..." Li Hansong.
If I'm not mistaken, at your peak, you only had around 80 million calories, right?
According to your logic, aren't you also embarrassing yourself?
"I don't ask for much, just make sure to keep that idiot in check and don't let him get arrogant," Emperor Destroyer instructed Yao Chengjun.
"Mm." Yao Chengjun nodded.
Suppressing that idiot Li Hansong? They're brimming with confidence!
"Why are you all targeting me?" Li Hansong muttered under his breath.
"Alright, don't put too much pressure on them," the War Emperor laughed. "Just do your best. What does it matter whether you succeed or not?"
Wang Jinyang pursed his lips, seemingly disagreeing with Zhan Tiandi's words.
He thought to himself:
Although we are essentially one person, since we have different past lives and different experiences, encounters, and lives, our values are not the same...
I must reach the True Emperor realm... The situation of the human race, though improved, remains dangerous... Within the Origin Land, besides the Heavenly Emperor, there are eight other emperors and one more, each a powerful figure...
Forced into a corner, he chose not to use overwhelming force to pave the way, but instead committed suicide, implicating the Heavenly Emperor and the Tyrant Emperor, who were also besieged and killed by the other emperors... Such a thing is something I would never do; it's too foolish...
Zhan Tiandi noticed Wang Jinyang's silence and seemed to know what Wang Jinyang was thinking. He gave a bitter smile but did not offer any further advice.
Perhaps, he really did take the wrong path.
"Well, we should go. If those experts leave and wander into the mortal realm, they might cause trouble," Zhang Tao suddenly said, a hint of worry in his eyes.
As the Martial King and the Human Emperor, he was actually the one in charge in the mortal realm.
Cao Ya, Zhen Tianwang, and Fang Ping were more of a force to protect the people and rarely interfered in internal affairs, especially the first two.
"It's alright. With Cao Ya in charge, who would dare to trespass into the mortal realm? They'd be courting death. Even if they gained something, they'd die immediately before the emperors could reap the rewards. What use would that be? Those who really wanted to die are already long gone," the Heavenly King of Zhentian laughed.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao thought about it and realized it made sense. Concern can cloud judgment, something he hadn't considered before.
The worry between his brows gradually faded away.
However, the group didn't linger in the Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm for long. After all, they had gained a lot and made a name for themselves, so it was time to leave.
They bid farewell to the War Emperor, the Destroyer Emperor, and the Overlord Emperor—Cangmao also said goodbye to Ermao. The group then got up, and Cao Ya tore through the void to prepare to leave.
Suddenly, the War Emperor shouted:
"Please wait!"
The group paused, turned around, and looked on with questioning expressions.
"Shuxiang, you should go out with them," Emperor Zhantian sighed and said to his page.
"No! I'll stay with you. I'm very happy in this Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm." Shuxiang was taken aback, then quickly refused, unwilling to leave.
"The Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm is ultimately not an eternal pure land. It will one day be destroyed and return to nothingness. Moreover, if you want to improve, you will need to venture out into the outside world." The War Emperor said earnestly, with reluctance but even more so, eager anticipation.
Shuxiang is called a pageboy, but he is actually his personal disciple, treated like a younger brother or son.
“Shuxiang, you really should leave. This place is for people like us, not for you,” said the Emperor of Annihilation.
"Isn't Tianji right here? He's a living, breathing person too," the Overlord Emperor muttered.
The Emperor of Annihilation rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with this fool.
Do you think everyone is like Tianji? Cowardly as a mouse!
"Go out. The outside world belongs to you living people. Don't stay with us old guys who died long ago. It will only wear down your fighting spirit and make you lifeless," said Zhan Tiandi, reaching out and gently pushing Shuxiang.
Shuxiang took two steps forward, turned around to look at the three emperors and two cats, her eyes filled with tears.
"Goodbye." Er Mao, eating the cat food that Cang Mao brought, seemed to be smiling as he waved goodbye to Shu Xiang.
The War Emperor, the Destroyer Emperor, and the Overlord Emperor all waved goodbye to Shuxiang with smiles on their faces.
"Cao Ya Dao Zu, Shu Xiang's strength is not weak. He has followed me for so many years and has also reached the Breaking Nine level. Moreover, he is also of human origin." Zhan Tian Di smiled slightly, his words were casual, but they were like a bomb that fell into deep water.
Breaking the ninth?
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
In the human race camp, only Cao Ya Daozu, Zhen Tian Wang and Fang Ping have broken through to the ninth level. Shu Xiang has been taught by Zhan Tian Di and Mie Tian Di and Ba Tian Di, so he is probably one of the best among those who have broken through to the ninth level.
Can the Heavenly King defeat the Scholar?
"Haha, welcome." Cao Ya laughed. It was naturally a great thing for such a powerful expert at the level of a pseudo-emperor who had broken through to the ninth level to join their camp.
Don't underestimate the reputation of the Book Fragrance Sect. It may be unknown and lack prestige, but when a master at the ninth level of the Breakthrough Realm really gets into a fight, it is enough to destroy the world!
"Welcome to join us, Brother Shuxiang."
"Nothing else, but the martial arts of the New Martial Arts School, I guarantee you'll see your fill!"
The human heroes were overjoyed and their attitude was very enthusiastic, which made Shuxiang feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Let's go!
Following the spatial passage torn open by Cao Ya, the group left the Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm and returned to the mortal world.
The Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm has returned to its former desolate state, and the number of people living here has become increasingly smaller.
"This silly cat, all it knows is eating." The Overlord Emperor patted the two cats, then tore through space and returned to his territory.
"Meow!" The second cat meowed, but was too lazy to get up and chase after the Overlord Emperor, clinging to the cat food.
"Knowing how to enjoy good food is a kind of happiness," Emperor Zhan Tian sighed.
"What, Zhan, are you going to fight with Er Mao for food?" Emperor Mie Tian raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face.
"Meow!" Upon hearing this, the two cats trembled, quickly clutched their food, and looked at Zhan Tiandi with a nervous expression.
However, after thinking about it, it realized that it wasn't right to keep it all to itself, so in the end, it reluctantly took out a little and gave it to the War Emperor.
"Thanks, but... um, I'll try it."
Zhan Tiandi's face darkened. He was about to refuse, but then he suddenly thought, "Since the person is already dead, what does it matter if he eats cat food? Why care about what others think?"
Besides, we know all the people in this place very well.
Then, the Emperor of Annihilation was dumbfounded. He actually saw the Emperor of War sitting next to the two cats, eating the cat food that the two cats handed him, and nodding repeatedly, as if it were quite delicious.
"Meow."
"It really tastes amazing, Er Mao, you didn't lie to me."
"Meow, I, the cat, would never lie."
The Heavenly Emperor and the two cats were talking, both of them beaming with joy as they discussed which food was more delicious and how they would ask Cangmao and Caoya for it next time.
The Heavenly Emperor, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded and almost questioned his existence.
