In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 566 [Taking on Duties in Heaven]

"Does Your Majesty not know?"

Silverblood Warrior belatedly realized that Ye Fan knew nothing about this matter, and immediately looked embarrassed, changing his words: "Master, please forgive us, we are following the decree of the Black Emperor."

Ye Fan was not surprised. There were only a few people who could mobilize the Heavenly Court's army, and the Black Emperor was one of them.

The Silver Blood Warriors are the fourth generation disciples of Tianxuan. Their bloodline was cultivated by the Black Emperor. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Big Black Dog is the chief instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards of the Heavenly Court.

"They hold official positions in Heaven."

Ye Fan said calmly, then asked, "How many men did you send, and what are they doing?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Silver Blood Warrior said with a forced smile, "Not only our Silver Blood Division, but also the Origin Heaven Division, Purple Mountain Division, Dark Heaven Division, Star Constellation Division, and other divisions, all eight divisions of the Heavenly Court have been mobilized to rescue the Holy Lord."

"Rescue the Holy Lord?" Ye Fan was immediately amused and said leisurely, "But something has happened to Holy Lord Lin. Don't worry, good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. It's okay if we wait a little longer."

Lin Xian's combat strength may be weak, but his life-saving methods are absolutely heaven-defying. When he is on the verge of life and death, he might just summon a few supreme emperors for you.

Ye Fan sometimes felt that even a true immortal descending to earth might not be able to take the life of Lord Lin.

"Your Majesty..." The Silver Blood Warrior was very embarrassed. After hesitating for a long time, he cautiously said, "It's not Lord Lin, it's Lord Ye."

"What Holy Lord Ye?" Ye Fan retorted instinctively at first, then his expression changed, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he asked, "It's Tianxuan."

"Reporting to the Supreme Holy Lord, it is indeed the current Holy Lord." The Silver-Blooded Warrior recounted the information, then cautiously asked, "Should we inform Ancestor Wei Yi and the others about this? After all, they are members of the Divine Race..."

The God Race is truly extraordinary, definitely ranking among the top ten strongest races in the universe. The God-King bodies that occasionally emerge from the human race are merely the average level of the God Race. In other words, once this race matures, everyone is a Saint King.

"Just a god, not some legendary deity. I want to see who is stronger, the gods of the Heavenly Court or the god race." Ye Fan said coldly, "Summon the Tianhe warship and lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to surround the god race's ancestral star."

The gods are noble, but that's only in the eyes of the world. Their true nature was exposed long ago by Zhang Bairen, a brilliant figure from ancient times. They were originally a branch of the human race, but their bloodline was too strong. They considered themselves noble and were extremely arrogant, so they eventually separated and established themselves as a separate race.

The Heavenly Court's warships surged forth, with an army of 100,000 men, striking fear into the hearts of countless powerful figures. Such strength was absolutely capable of annihilating an entire clan.

Even the quasi-emperor forces pay close attention to the movements of the Heavenly Court.

In particular, the Divine Court initially thought that the Heavenly Court's army was coming to attack them, which caused them to panic and even some people wanted to report to the Emperor who was in seclusion.

Many Great Sages breathed a sigh of relief after the Heavenly Court fleet passed through the borders of the Divine Court.

"How hateful! The Heavenly Court killed my Vice Leader and is still so arrogant."

One of the Great Sages said indignantly, "Sooner or later, I will avenge the Ascension Master!"

"That's right, everything will be alright as long as His Majesty the Emperor emerges from seclusion."

The Great Sage of the Divine Court was very confident. After all, the Emperor was about to become a Daoist. Once he became a Daoist, he would be a Great Emperor. No matter how heaven-defying the Heavenly Court's Holy Body's battle record was, there had never been a Holy Body that became an Emperor throughout history.

The Emperor's undefeated legend is not something a Holy Body can challenge!

Their blind obedience stems from their trust in the divine imprint, a path dependence that began in the mythological era.

Besides the Divine Court, many other powerful forces were also following closely behind the Heavenly Court's warships, trying to figure out their purpose.

As the star path drew closer, an elder saint exclaimed in surprise, recognizing it as the ancient path of the gods.

"Is the Heavenly Court going to wage war against the gods?"

"The God Race, that race with a bloodline that defies the heavens."

"Can they succeed?"

The news swept across the four seas and eight wastelands like a storm, shaking the heavens and myriad realms. Many powerful figures trembled. Those were the gods, with the blood of the gods flowing in their veins. They were revered in the world, known as invincible in heaven and on earth, standing in the nine heavens and looking down on all living beings!

Even during the dark turmoil, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone did not touch them, yet the Heavenly Court wanted to attack them.

The ancestral star of the gods is a secret, but when faced with the combined efforts of several Source Masters, nothing in the human world is a secret anymore.

The Black Emperor issued orders, commanding the various departments of the Heavenly Court to devise formations and assemble battle arrays. Then, he led his vast army into a peaceful and tranquil starry sky.

There is a star there, neither too big nor too small, its vibrant energy soaring into the sky, a rare and pristine place.

"Who dares to trespass upon the sacred land of my divine race?"

A loud shout rang out, startling an old sage dressed in feathered robes with an ancient and simple demeanor. He rushed forward, terrified by the scale of the Heavenly Army, and hurriedly rang the alarm bell, which echoed throughout the entire sky.

In an instant, divine light soared into the sky and shone brilliantly in one beautiful landscape after another.

"So many great saints of this era are even stronger than the Light Clan."

The dragon-horse clicked its tongue, circling the starry sky, unsure of where to put its hooves.

"What brings you here, fellow Daoist from Heaven?"

A great saint from the divine race stepped forward. He had dealt with the Heavenly Court during the tenth trial of the human race and wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Holy Body. However, Ye Fan gradually became stronger and gave up this idea.

"Why did the gods kidnap my son?!"

Ye Fan shouted, "If you don't give me a reason today, don't blame me for turning upside down the entire Pure Land."

"It is not a kidnapping, but to create the strongest bloodline. Once the innate saint is born, he will dominate the universe and may be the first person in history."

The Great Sage of the Divine Race advised, "Fellow Daoist Ye, why be so stubborn? Throughout history, no one has ever achieved the Holy Body of becoming an Emperor, but your descendants can. This is an unparalleled honor. Marrying into the Divine Race will not disgrace the Heavenly Court."

"Bullshit! The Innate Sacred Body and Dao Embryo are the best in the world."

The big black dog cursed loudly, "You gods are trying to climb up to the lineage of the Primordial Dao, you are utterly shameless."

The Black Emperor stood in the starry sky and cursed loudly. He said that the gods had touched the innate sacred body and Dao embryo, which was like touching the lifeblood of the big black dog. He wished he could fight the gods to the death.

Various cosmic dialects flowed from the Black Emperor's mouth, his eloquence and persuasive tongue astonishing even his own people in Heaven.
Some of the young saints of the gods were so provoked that they blushed and wanted to go out and fight the Black Emperor, but they were stopped by the great saints of the gods.

They seemed to know they were in the wrong, so they didn't offer much rebuttal and instead let the insults fall on them.

When the Black Emperor finished cursing, an elder of the Divine Race stepped forward and said very seriously, "Since ancient times, no two emperors have existed in one family. The Great Emperor Wushi has already attained enlightenment and blocked that path. It will be very difficult for later generations to attain enlightenment."

"We will create a completely new bloodline and forge a new emperor."

"Who said a family can't have two emperors?" The Black Emperor sneered, about to retort, but then seemed to think of something and snorted, "That's because you're ignorant."

"Besides, how can a tiger cub be paired with a dog's daughter? Bah, bah, bah! That's an insult to dogs! My Tianxuan is an imperial prince, do you understand? Whether it's bloodline or lineage, he's of the highest rank. Has your divine race ever produced an emperor?"

These words were like a knife to the heart of the gods, turning many elders' faces ashen. They claimed to be descendants of the gods, with a continuous stream of powerful figures, but they had never had a God Emperor. Although a Supreme Being had emerged in the ancient times, the title of God Emperor had been taken by the Divine Silkworm Clan, and they could only be called God Lords.

The lack of a truly righteous and enlightened being has always been a source of anxiety for the gods.

Several elders of the divine race, not wanting to stoop to the level of a dog, turned to Ye Fan and said kindly, "This is originally a joyous occasion, why must you start a bloodbath, fellow Daoist? Let's turn the bloodshed into peace." The Heavenly Court was vast and mighty, and although the divine race was not weak, they did not want to go to war with it.

Furthermore, in the eyes of these old-fashioned people, arranged marriages and the union of two powerful individuals are a good thing in themselves, so why get angry?

"If the two are mutually in love, I will naturally agree, but there is no such thing as forced buying and selling in this world."

Are there any teachers in this world who would betray their own disciples to arrange a marriage alliance?

Ye Fan shouted, "I'm not Lord Lin, I wouldn't do something like this, buying my son for personal gain."

"When discussing Ye Tianxuan's affairs, don't bring up unrelated matters." Lin Xian coughed lightly. Why bring up old grievances at a time like this?

Those were those years, and now are now; how can the situations be the same?

Ye Fan sneered. His fathers had already weathered the storm and were now powerful enough not to allow their descendants to suffer the same fate.

"Heroes have always been paired with goddesses; this person with a naturally divine body and Daoist embryo is a remarkable individual who will one day marry and have children."

The eldest of the gods, Sheng, forcibly reversed the concept and misled them, saying, "Even our supreme god has a princess left behind. The dripping of water from the eaves is a sign of generational succession. Ye Shengti is a noble emperor of his generation, so why should we prevent them from meeting?"

"Then please let the goddess of the divine race meet you." Ye Fan shouted, "If they are mutually in love, I will not stand in their way."

“Not bad, not bad, let me examine it.” The Black Emperor chimed in.

Faced with the aggressive behavior of the man and dog, several elders of the divine race whispered among themselves. Then their expressions changed drastically, turning ashen.

One of the Great Sages said, "Emperor Ye, please forgive us. It's not that we can't find you, but rather that the princess and Crown Prince Ye have disappeared."

"Disappeared? Who the hell are you trying to fool? Have you already slept with her?"

Black King was horrified. Judging from his own experience, he realized that Black King was capable of such a thing.

"Outrageous, audacious, spewing filth."

The great saints of the divine race were furious. The innate holy body and Dao embryo are noble, but the princess of the divine race is not. How could they, a great race, do such a thing?

"Then please come out and meet me."

Ye Fan took a step forward, his divine might overwhelming. The green cauldron in his hand shimmered with immortal light, and his incomparably powerful divine might erupted, pressing down on the starry sky for billions of miles.

The elders of the Divine Race changed color, as if an apocalyptic crisis was descending, terrifying beyond measure, seemingly about to suppress everything and turn the Divine Race's ancestral star into ruins.

"Crash!"

One after another, seas of laws emerged, the ancestral star of the gods automatically revived, and a great array appeared out of nowhere, blocking everyone. Runes appeared densely all over the sky and the ground, evolving into a chaotic aura, which was extremely astonishing.

This is an awe-inspiring divine array left behind by the former god, protecting the ancient land of the divine race. It is difficult for outsiders to break through and its power is immense and unparalleled.

Relying on this formation, the gods survived one dark period of turmoil after another.

"It's incredibly complicated." The Black Emperor stood upright and circled the great formation for a long time, but still couldn't find a flaw. He couldn't help but frown. This was either a flawless, strongest quasi-emperor formation or an ancient emperor formation with flaws. It was countless times more difficult than when he attacked the old Teng Snake back then.

“Even if the God Race has never produced a Great Emperor, there have been Supreme Beings who achieved enlightenment through other means.” Duan De made this judgment based on the strength of the array patterns, and he was quite shocked. The God Race had actually produced more than one Supreme Being.

Is this all you're relying on?

Ye Fan frowned. He had thought the God Clan would be troublesome, but he hadn't expected it to be this complicated. They started with a Supreme Formation. What would come next?

The Immortal Ascension Cauldron shone brightly, the gods revived, and it entered the Sea of ​​Laws, traversing ninety thousand miles of starry sky to suppress all enemies in the world.

The collision between the two was devastating, reviving some of the slumbering gods.

"Is this cauldron a celestial artifact of the Emperor?"

"not good!"

The guardians of the gods acted decisively, summoning a supreme artifact belonging to a god-king. With a thunderous roar, the sea of ​​divine power surged, the laws ignited, and dazzling immortal light shone forth.

A divine sword slashed out, unleashing a waterfall of chaos, its immense aura as awe-inspiring as a collapsing galaxy, causing even the great saints far beyond the starry sky to tremble.

"A supreme weapon is no weaker than an imperial weapon."

Lin Xian's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he gazed at the ancestral star of the Divine Race. With a formation of soldiers guarding it, even the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone could not move it.

It's not that the Supreme Being isn't powerful enough, but rather that the losses outweigh the gains.

In the past, during the dark and turbulent times, only one or two supreme beings would hunt for food. The vast universe was enough for them to distribute, and they could pick on the weak. But with a tough nut like the gods, even if they were to be defeated, the income would not be enough to cover the costs.

"kill!"

Ye Fan shouted, ordering the Heavenly Court to launch an attack.

Longma, Heihuang, Duan De, and the others attacked together, causing the ancestral star of the God Clan to tremble and the great formation to teeter on the brink of collapse.

"Let's offer a blood sacrifice to our ancestors and fight them to the death!"

The patriarch of the gods roared, his bloodline and dignity forbidding him from backing down, and he was about to unleash the ultimate trump card of the gods.

The deity who once ruled passed away on this very planet, making this area extremely suitable for cultivation.

One by one, members of the Divine Race arrived. Their numbers were small, only 30,000, but every single one of them was a cultivator, and among them were 2,000 Divine Kings, which astonished everyone.

"Two thousand god-kings, that's enough to form a large army."

Duan De clicked his tongue in amazement. This was at least two thousand Saint Kings. According to the probability, at least dozens of Great Saints, or even Quasi-Emperors, would be born.

The gods are very likely to have quasi-emperors generation after generation, no wonder they are known as a heaven-defying race with noble bloodlines.

The merging of 30,000 gods stabilized the great formation, and a mysterious aura began to emerge.

At this critical moment, an aged voice rang out, echoing in everyone's hearts: "Stop."

"Quasi-Emperor!"

Everyone's expression changed. This was definitely a quasi-emperor level divine power, far surpassing the power they had witnessed in Yu Huatian.

"Could it be a high-level quasi-emperor?" The Black Emperor was somewhat stunned. This was a master who could contend with an emperor-level weapon. It was unbelievable that the Divine Race actually had one.

"It's our ancestor!" The current clan leader was overjoyed and bowed in a certain direction.

"Ancestor, which ancestor is it?" a young Great Sage asked, puzzled. The divine race had an extraordinary foundation, with several ancestors among them.

“The most powerful one,” an elder whispered, “the one who once had an audience with the Azure Emperor.”
