Chapter 476 Ascension
"Shurima! Your Emperor has returned!"

Azir's voice spread along with the yellow sand and spread throughout the desert. He gained the power of an ascender and became one of the few ascenders in the world, and the one with the most power.

Even for the god warriors, their power is not ever-decaying. The lengthy passage of time is enough to erode their minds. Only those with a strong will can maintain their original heart.

Azir appeared in the former capital, walking on the legendary "Golden Avenue", but now this place is no longer what it used to be. The capital he raised up is just a ruin, no longer as prosperous as before.

Azir was a little confused. He didn't know what had happened that year, what happened on the top of the temple when he ascended, and what happened to his empire.

Over the years, he was lost in annihilation, unable to sense time, in a daze, as if he was still alive, yet as if he was already dead.

It was not until the blood of his last offspring was spilled on the ruins of the temple that he was reborn.

But his body was little more than moving, corporeal dust, held together by the last shreds of his indomitable will.

It was not until his selfless act of saving Sivir that the Ascension Ritual was reactivated and completed again, that he could be truly alive and resurrected as an Ascended One.

The sun's immortal light poured into his body, shaping his majestic eagle armor and granting him the ability to control the sand.

His ruined city shook off the dust that had covered it for hundreds of years and rose again to the ground. The sun disk floated in the air again, and healing waters flowed between the temples. Under his command, one temple after another rose from the ground to welcome the sunshine.

Azir climbed up the newly risen "Temple of the Sun". The wind blew up the fine sand, recreating the last moment of his city. The sand and dust formed ghostly phantoms, recreating the death scene of the city and the entire Shurima Empire.

Azir watched in great surprise as Xerath's conspiracy and betrayal unfolded. He watched sadly as his family suffered misfortune, his empire fell, and his powers were stolen.

Everything was just because of the hatred in that man's heart, and he hid it so well that Azir never noticed.

Azir treated Xerath as a friend and even freed him from his slavery, giving him true freedom and the qualifications to become a powerful person.

But what greeted Azir was betrayal, a betrayal that destroyed everything he had, a betrayal that made him sink between life and death for thousands of years.

"Zerath! I'm going to make you pay!"

The fine sand dissipated, all the illusions disappeared, and the city returned to silence. Only the roar of this lonely emperor remained, his heart filled with rage.

"It's too late, Azir. Xerath is already dead."

Looking at the angry Azir, Ke Ling suddenly spoke.

"who?!"

Azir was startled by the sudden sound, and because he didn't notice anyone there at all, he was naturally caught off guard and startled.

"The one who resurrected you."

Ke Ling spoke, and his figure appeared in front of Azir, and his words made Azir stunned for a moment.

Azir didn't understand. He himself didn't know how he was resurrected, but it must be related to his descendant.

And this guy in front of him actually said shamelessly that he was the one who resurrected him. Who gave this guy the courage?

"Buzz!"

However, after Ke Ling burst out with his terrifying aura, Azir understood where the courage of this man came from.

This kind of power, this kind of terrifying pressure, even the most powerful god warrior he had ever seen was not even one-tenth of the power of the person in front of him!

"Who the hell are you?!"

Azir asked in amazement. In his impression, the "God Warrior" was the strongest existence. Except for the power in the void, no one could be the enemy of the "God Warrior".

And the Ke Ling in front of him was obviously not a "God Warrior" because Ke Ling was in human form and was a very normal human being.

After ascending, the "God Warriors" will get rid of their human form and have their bodies recast by that power, just like Azir is now, becoming an animal image. Azir is the eagle in the sky.

"Azir, now that Shurima has been reunited, the country no longer needs you as emperor. If you are still willing to fight for Shurima, you can still become a part of the government, but no longer as emperor."

Ke Ling ignored Azir's question and talked about the arrangements for him.

"what?!"

Ke Ling’s words made Azir even more nervous.

Does this person mean to directly remove his position as emperor?
And then let him be an official in the new government? To work for this guy?
Azir was extremely angry. Is this guy speaking human language? !
This is simply humiliating him in person! He is the supreme emperor of Shurima! How can he tolerate such an offense? !
Azir has always felt that he has been good enough to civilians and can be considered a benevolent monarch. He is even preparing to abolish slavery step by step and give freedom to more ordinary people.

However, a benevolent monarch is also a monarch and an emperor!
Directly abolishing his throne and making him a minister is something he absolutely cannot tolerate! He would rather die than surrender!

Without any hesitation, Azir took action directly. It must be said that the Emperor of Shurima did have a strong willpower. He was worthy of being a man who could survive until now by relying on a wisp of residual soul.

In front of Ke Ling, although he was intimidated and shocked, he was obviously not completely frightened. The emperor's majesty prevented him from bowing down to Ke Ling.

Even if he died, he wanted to die as the "Emperor of the Shurima Empire" instead of being a servile subject!

The yellow sand in the sky condensed and swept towards Ke Ling. Today, the Shurima Desert is simply Azir's home court. He who can control the sand is like the destined ruler of Shurima.

Anyone who fights him in this place is equivalent to playing away. Azir undoubtedly has the advantage of playing at home.

However, this was useless in front of Ke Ling. The yellow sand that filled the sky fell like a rain of knives, but was blocked by Ke Ling's black shadow and did not cause any damage. "Buzz!"

Since Azir was so ignorant, Ke Ling didn't bother to be polite with him anymore. If he didn't accept the toast, he would drink the punishment. If he could resurrect Azir, he could also bury him under the yellow sand!

Besides, Ke Ling didn’t do this to resurrect Azir, but just to use him to re-erect the "Sun Disk".

Now that the "Sun Disk" is emitting light again, this last emperor who should have died long ago is of no use. If Azir cannot accept the changes of the new era, then Ke Ling can only sweep him into the garbage dump of history again.

"boom!"

The shadow hand broke through the rolling yellow sand and grabbed Azir directly. Azir swung the ceremonial spear in his hand and moved with the sand, trying to avoid the shadow hand, but more shadow hands slapped towards him at an frightening speed. One of them hit him directly and knocked him away.

With great strength and simple and unpretentious manner, Ke Ling was too lazy to do anything fancy and just took down this guy Azir simply and roughly.

Azir, who was knocked away, lay on the ground, his head dazed. He was wondering in his heart, are the physical fitness of the ascenders so weak?
Why? Why did he feel like he was going to die after just a slap? It wasn’t like a slap, it was like some giant beast had kicked him and stepped on him.

"boom!"

Another slap came down, and Azir was completely pressed to the ground. This time he stopped thinking about it and began to want to get up, because if he continued to be slapped like this, he might really die!

"cough!"

Azir spat out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that his internal organs were injured. The two slaps directly caused his body to churn.

"Azir, in recognition of your contribution to the re-erection of the sun disk, I will give you one last chance to choose. If you do not wish to serve, you can hide your identity and live as an ordinary person from now on."

Looking at Azir, Ke Ling finally gave him another choice. It was not necessary to force him to serve the new government. There was no shortage of such a person. There were too many people who wanted to be officials.

After all, this guy Azir helped Ke Ling. If he was willing, Ke Ling wouldn't mind sparing his life.

Being an ordinary person and living in Shurima is also an option. After all, he possesses the power of an ascender. As long as nothing goes wrong, he can live for a very long time. He can witness the future of Shurima and see whether it is a good or bad thing for him not to be the emperor.

"No! I will never give in!"

However, faced with the new conditions offered by Ke Ling, Azir still chose to refuse. He would not give up his identity as the Emperor of Shurima!
"Okay, in that case, I'll grant your wish."

Ke Ling nodded and didn't say anything more. Azir had already made his choice, so there was no need to save his life.

"Buzz!"

The repressive force on Ke Ling was completely released, and Azir felt that he was suffocating. Although he was no longer a human, he still could not resist the power that Ke Ling burst out. The repression on the soul level made him unable to move.

Azir could only watch the huge black shadow hand falling from the sky, unable to do anything. The last thing he could do was to stand up straight and die as an emperor.

"boom!!!"

Ke Ling slapped Azir with a shadowy palm, ending Azir's life directly. This was a respect for the last emperor. At least his death was glamorous. Anyway, Azir died a little later than Xerath, which was also a comfort to Azir.

After dealing with Azir and sending the "last emperor of Shurima" on his final journey, Ke Ling began to prepare for the "Ascension Ceremony".

In the conservative city of "Nashram" with a very complete heritage, the process of the "Ascension Ceremony" is still preserved. They attach great importance to this thing. It is their pride and everything to them.

The replica of the "Sun Disc" in the center of the city of "Nashramé" is their spiritual totem. All the people of "Nashramé" miss the "Shurima Empire". They all long for the "God Warriors" to reappear on earth and lead Shurima to rise again.

After being completely conquered by Ke Ling's army, the heritage of "Nashram" was still preserved. Ke Ling was waiting to use them. "Nashram" had a complete set of ascension procedures, which could now be put to good use.

Soon, the Ascension Cult of "Nashram" was transferred over. They will be responsible for the execution of the ceremony, and Ke Ling will complete the "Ascension Ceremony". What he wants is not a simple "ascension", what he wants is to suck the "Star-Forging Dragon King" dry!

In the "Temple of the Sun", under the sun disk, Ke Ling stood there waiting, waiting for the ascension ceremony to start. This was a long process that required a long time to prepare, especially when it was a group of novices who were in charge. In addition, the "Sun Disk" had not been started for a long time, so naturally it would take some time to debug.

These are all excuses for the newbies who are in a hurry. They don’t know that this “Sun Disc” has just been activated once to complete Azir’s ascension ceremony. It is very useful and does not need any debugging at all.

But Ke Ling did not expose them. He just waited quietly. He adjusted his state to ensure that he could absorb as much power of the "Star-Forging Dragon King" as possible.

In fact, there is no need to be too anxious. Even if he cannot absorb it all at once, he can digest it slowly and do it a few more times later. He has plenty of time, and it is still a long way for the "Star-Forging Dragon King" to break free from control. Now the control of the Star Spirits over him has just loosened.

Ke Ling was sure that he could suck all the energy out of the "Star-Forging Dragon King" before it broke free from his control. Moreover, as Ke Ling absorbed more energy, the "Star-Forging Dragon King" would become weaker and weaker, and the possibility of him breaking free would naturally become smaller and smaller.

"Sir, get ready!"

Not long after, the ascension ceremony was finally ready.

"let's start."

Ke Ling gave the order, and the "Sun Disc" started to activate, beginning to absorb the power of the "Star-Forging Dragon King" in the starry sky. The power of the "Star-Forging Dragon King" flowed down along the "Sun Disc", shone on Ke Ling, and was injected into his body.

"Huh? It's starting again?"

Outside the "Runeland", in the starry sky, a huge body that seemed to be boundless star dragon opened its eyes. The crown on his head was glowing and was absorbing his power. Those were the shackles put on him by the stars, a shackle that could control him and steal his power.

However, this thing has not been used for thousands of years. It was suddenly used again recently, and it was used twice in a row.

The "Star-Forging Dragon King" cast his gaze towards the planet. He had not yet realized something was wrong until he saw Ke Ling madly absorbing his energy with no intention of stopping. Only then did the "Star-Forging Dragon King" react belatedly.

There seems to be something wrong with this guy!
