The power of the demon race is far greater than imagined!
This may be the real truth.
Liu Lang did not believe that an immortal emperor who unified the human empire would be willing to let them be trapped here forever. Even if the empire's territory was vast, choosing not to expand when one could expand was a different matter from not being able to expand.
There are also the three princesses.
Her obsession was to break through the limitations of immortality, after all, this was not an isolated case. Even the eldest prince was trapped at the peak of the eighth star, and it was because of this obsession that she was also controlled by the power of the void.
According to Liu Lang, under normal circumstances, the strength of humans corrupted by the void would be forcibly increased by one level.
But that would require complete voidification.
If the Third Princess had truly become completely void, then everyone would have encountered a powerful nine-star enemy, and they would likely have all perished there.
"If we obtain the power of the void... we can break through the current limits of our strength, thereby defeating the demon race and ending the four-hundred-year-long demon war!"
Could this reason... possibly corrupt an emperor?
Liu Lang told General Sagaros his final conclusion. Sagaros was a little stunned. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Right now, he still felt that he had room for improvement, so he had never considered this issue.
However, the Prime Minister once told him that he himself had abandoned his memories and reincarnated with the Grand Mage because he could not bear the upper limit of his power.
In their first life, their strength was at the mid-stage of the Nine Stars realm; in their second life, it was at the late-stage of the Nine Stars realm; and now... they are in their third life!
Moreover, in every era, the emperor always possessed the strength of a peak nine-star being.
This is the limit of humanity, or rather, the limit of Earth. The Emperor has done everything he could to break through it, but it was of no use at all.
It is said that kings are always lonely.
As the first immortal and ageless emperor, he had grown weary of fighting against the demons.
Perhaps he wanted to break the deadlock, which is why he had to do this.
"But that's impossible. It was the Emperor who ordered me to stay here to resist the void. Even the Emperor knows how terrifying this power is."
He must be insane to willingly accept this power! We're far from that point yet.
Sagaros was somewhat agitated, clearly provoked by Liu Lang's earlier deductions, but not enough to make him believe that he needed to disobey the emperor's orders and return to the capital.
"But what if I told you that the emperor discovered a terrifying secret?"
"Who? Azro...?"
Just as the situation reached a stalemate again, the spatial imprints on Liu Lang and the other two suddenly turned into a burst of white light, and the figure of the Grand Mage appeared in the white light!
The Grand Master smiled slightly as he looked at the astonished crowd.
"If you hadn't deduced that the Emperor was controlled by the power of the Void, I wouldn't have come out to explain to you. Instead, I would have had Sagarus guard this place properly, so that he wouldn't be corrupted by the Void like I was."
But since you've brought it up... there's something I need to know.
The demon race has always possessed the power to crush our human race.
This information was given to me by the Emperor shortly after the destruction of the Netherworld Clan.
After that war, he seemed to lose his spirit, and royal power was divided among various princes, which led to the confrontation between the noble alliance and the royal family eighty years later.
Later, with the help of the royal mage Zixian, I learned the real reason why the emperor lost his spirit.
That is... our empire is nothing more than a plaything kept by the demons.
Domesticated playthings?
These words shocked everyone, and the archmage's phantom began to fade, seemingly disappearing.
"The emperor once unified the empire. With such ambition, he chose to break into the Demon Abyss after the destruction of the Netherworld Clan, only to discover inside that... the birth of the empire actually stemmed from the demons wanting to cultivate an opponent for themselves."
Those glorious victories that he was so proud of were all due to the mercy of the demons.
This immense sense of loss plunged the emperor into self-doubt, after all, the emperor also wanted to end the four-hundred-year war between the demon race and the empire.
But I never knew that the emperor would come into contact with such a terrifying power after that.
When I was supporting Prince Amir, he witnessed the first appearance of this power. Prince Amir even told me personally that it was a secret weapon left to him by the emperor not long ago.
As a result, on the very night Prince Amir used it, he ran to me like a madman, begging me to end his life.
The emperor is the true source of the current turmoil in the capital.
"Sagalos, I want to ask you, are you loyal to the Emperor, or to the Empire?"
loyal to...
General Sagarus was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"My dearest friend, I hope you can awaken me, so that together we can confront the emperor and save the entire empire, shall we?"
“Azro…”
Sagalos looked heavily at Azro, who had transformed back into a spatial imprint.
However, the spatial imprints that returned to Liu Lang, Xiao Dai, and Tu Tu were so dim that they were no longer recognizable.
"The Great General?"
"Let me have some peace and quiet..."
Liu Lang wanted to try to persuade him further, but was stopped by Instructor Wei Sha.
He shook his head and then led Xiao Dai and Liu Lang out of the camp.
"That's enough. As for the Void, that's their empire's own business. We don't need to get involved so much."
"But Master Weisha...we are on the other side of Earth. If we want to return to the Dragon Kingdom, we still need the help of the Archmage!"
