Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

The rebuke echoed in the void...

The voice seemed both close at hand and far away, its source elusive, filled with majesty, oppression, and a strange, binding force.

He Li was unable to resist that power.

As soon as the sound rang out, even though he wanted to continue exerting his strength to forcefully kill and devour the two golden crows, his body was completely out of his control and he was unable to move at all.

"The Heavenly Emperor?!?"

When He Li was restricted by this binding force, he already knew who had attacked him.

The Heavenly Emperor! It could only be him.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor is the father of the Great Sun Golden Crow.

Moreover, as the Heavenly Emperor, he possesses the ability to perceive the Heavenly Emperor and must have been watching this place all along. Perhaps the reason he did not intervene earlier was because he did not think the two golden crows would die.

Furthermore, he might also have wanted his offspring to gain experience, so he naturally didn't interfere in the battle.

But He Li's trump card was unexpected.

Seeing the two golden crows die, the Heavenly Emperor, being their father, could no longer remain silent.

However, although they guessed the identity of the person who made the move.

But He Li's face showed no sign of panic.

He merely frowned, looking slightly wary.

His reaction aroused suspicion from the Heavenly Emperor, who was preparing to signal his subordinates to bring back the two golden crows, and the other powerful figures watching the show from the void.

"Brother, something seems wrong!"

"He Li isn't stupid. Even if he didn't guess that it was the Heavenly Emperor who made the move, he could still guess that it was related to the Demon Court."

"With his current strength, although he is capable of annihilating demon immortals and some gods, he is certainly not enough to directly confront the Demon Court and the Heavenly Emperor. He should also be aware of his situation..."

"But his reaction... why..."

The dragon girl frowned and looked at the young man with dragon horns beside her.

The latter squinted and replied, "But his reaction seems a bit too calm and composed, doesn't it?"

"Then it definitely wasn't an act, was it?"

"Yes!" The Dragon Girl nodded after hearing this.

The dragon-horned youth continued, "If He Li was determined to kill the Golden Crow, he must have considered that the Demon Court and the Heavenly Emperor would intervene. The fact that he is not flustered at all now can only mean that he still has a backup plan."

"A backup plan?" The Dragon Girl's eyelids twitched. "Could he possibly be capable of directly confronting the Demon Emperor?"

"Him?" The dragon-horned youth shook his head.

"His backup plan is hard to say. After all, he was able to summon the consciousnesses of the ancients to fight just now. His backup plan might not be his own power but some other power..."

"But before he revealed his trump card..."

"No one can be completely certain right now."

As expected, the young man with dragon horns was right.

Seeing He Li's reaction, the Heavenly Emperor abandoned his plan to signal his subordinates to save the Golden Crow.

The atmosphere at the scene began to become tense.

The two golden crows weren't stupid either. They had just recovered from their despair and thought they were saved after realizing their father had intervened. They hadn't even had time to rejoice and celebrate having such a powerful backer...

Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor did not make another move after a long while, he took the weakened group away from the valley...

In addition, He Li's reaction...

This immediately made them realize that even their father, the Heavenly Emperor, probably couldn't figure out He Li's trump card, so he didn't act rashly. They still faced the risk of being killed by He Li.

How can they be happy about this?

At that moment, they truly regretted it.

Especially the Golden Crow Ten.

If he had known it would turn out this way, he would never have gotten involved in this matter.

Now that he's ended up in this state... he's filled with regret and also somewhat resentful towards Jinwu Eleven beside him. In his eyes, this useless younger brother is truly utterly useless.

How could something be so terrifying as to look like a ghost...?

Having spent so much time with his younger brother, he hadn't noticed anything amiss, to the point that his brother had been led astray.

"That idiot... If he can get back alive this time, I won't care if he dies in front of me again!" Jinwu Shi couldn't help but glare hatefully at Jinwu Shiyi.

The latter looked completely bewildered.

However, Jinwu Shiyi didn't have much time to ponder why his brother was glaring at him.

After all, it was He Li who injured him, not him.

So he quickly gave up on thinking about it.

He was filled with panic. Driven by his survival instinct and the eerie, oppressive atmosphere, he couldn't help but look up at He Li, who remained in a ravenous, grotesque state...

Then, breaking the silence with a trembling voice, he asked, "Do you...do you know who spoke just now?"

"That is my father, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court!"

"It was also... the first blazing sun in the world."

"If you dare to use lethal force again, have you considered facing the wrath of my father, the Heavenly Emperor?"

He questioned, and without waiting for He Li's response, he stood up shakily and continued, "As for today's matter... I am inferior in skill, but as the Great Sun Golden Crow, I can afford to lose."

"As long as... as long as you return the divine tree, and hand over the woman connected to the divine tree..."

"Let's leave our grudges behind!"

It's clear that Jinwu Eleven wants to back down.

He wasn't hopelessly stupid; he knew very well that even he and his brother couldn't defeat He Li now, so they were even less likely to be a match for him later on.

The variables that came from the lower realm are growing too fast.

Perhaps after some time, his strength might be considered top-tier even in the Upper Realm.

He, Jinwu, was no match for him.

Therefore, he decided to abandon his grudges.

As for demanding the Divine Tree and Yu Ji? These two are essential to the Heavenly Emperor's plan, so of course he wants them back.

Furthermore, in his view, He Li shouldn't have gone so far as to stubbornly refuse to hand over the divine tree, which was useless to him, in front of his own father, the Heavenly Emperor...

And the woman associated with the sacred tree...

With He Li's strength, what kind of woman couldn't he find in the Three Realms? Why would he care about her?

Therefore, Jinwu Eleven felt that he should swallow his pride, humble himself, and offer his opinion to give He Li a way out...

He Li will most likely accept it.

Unless he's mentally ill and wants to fight to the death.

Thinking this, Jinwu Eleven looked at He Li with great anticipation, waiting for him to nod in agreement. However, he did not see He Li nod in agreement.

All he saw was He Li's gaping mouth, which stretched all the way to the back of his head, already eerily strange in his ravenous form...

It seems the curvature has increased a bit.

He's laughing? What's he laughing at?

Jinwu 11 was stunned, filled with inexplicable panic.

Jinwu Shi, standing beside him, seemed to realize something. His eyes were filled with fear as he didn't even look at Jinwu Shiyi. He used the last bit of strength he had left to desperately try to run away.

But he had barely taken a step when He Li's sinister and menacing voice rang in his ears...

"The Heavenly Emperor? Are you trying to scare me?"

"Since I dared to harbor murderous intent towards you, do you think I would still fear the hostility of the Demon Emperor?"

"Just give up? Hehehe~ From the moment you appeared in the lower realm, there has been no option to give up. Between you and me... or the Demon Court, it's a fight to the death!!!"

hum! ! !

As soon as He Li finished speaking, his figure, which had regained its mobility at some point, flashed in front of the two golden crows, and his huge, black mouth fiercely bit down on the eleven heads of the golden crows.

The latter was filled with terror, and at the same moment, the Heavenly Emperor and others in the void also made their moves...

"You ants! How dare you!!!"

"How dare you harm His Highness! You deserve to die!!!"

"You ignorant ants!!!"

Boom!!! Accompanied by thunderous roars from numerous powerful figures of the Demon Court emanating from the void, various techniques, each displaying overwhelming power, dyed the sky in vibrant colors...

The merciless attack came upon He Li.

However, faced with an attack launched by so many demons, immortals, gods, and even the Heavenly Emperor himself...

He Li, who should have been locked in an invisible restraint, unable to even move, let alone resist, still fiercely snapped his jaws shut and bit off the eleven heads of the Golden Crow...

Snap!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, He Li's sinister voice echoed: "Nothing more than scum who have betrayed the world..."

"You... dare to kill me?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of golden light erupted...

hum! ! !

In an instant, everyone's pupils contracted, because they clearly saw an endless phantom of the realm of death appear behind He Li, and the golden mask with four eyes on his face was revealed.

His body began to twist and blur.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a towering figure wielding a spear and shield, a torch, and a drum hanging from his waist.

Behind him, countless consciousnesses surged forth like an army or a tidal wave!

And with the changes in He Li...

A crimson wave emanated from the void around him.

The fluctuation appeared simultaneously with He Li's transformation. As He Li completed his transformation, the void was burned with thousands of feet of cracks, and a crimson sun floated out from behind those cracks...

In the void, the powerful figures who had already sensed something was wrong due to the changes in He Li's body and the contraction of his pupils...

His expression changed again.

"Heavens...Heavenly Emperor?!?"

"This is...this is...two emperors reigning simultaneously?!"
