The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

The moment Chi Miao's voice fell, some people cheered, because they had long disliked the Sabi clan, and it was indeed gratifying that they were ordered to be wiped out. Others felt a chill run down their spines.

Just because he said some unpleasant things and questioned Chi Miao's becoming the Human Emperor, his entire clan was ordered to be exterminated!

The key point is that Chi Miao, who now possesses the powerful combat strength of the human, demon, and beast races, really has such ability!

This tactic of making an example of someone to scare others is an extremely ruthless move; they have no choice but to accept it!

Looking at Chi Miao again, they dared not underestimate her because she was only nineteen years old. On the contrary, the thought of her being nineteen years old made their scalps tingle.

What kind of experiences must a nineteen-year-old girl go through to develop such an iron-fisted approach?!

You have to understand that cultivators live for hundreds or even thousands of years. Nineteen years old... is almost the same age as a newborn baby to them!

At this age, he was even considered a young talent, yet he had already reached the Great Perfection stage and accomplished so much!

No one present dared to voice any further dissent.

Even the mortal emperors, who had previously been quite critical, all tacitly shut their mouths and quietly watched Chi Miao.

The others were also worried about Chi Miao's reaction.

This is an extremely important day. How people will treat her, the "Human Emperor," in the future will largely depend on today.

Whether the Sabi clan acted spontaneously or was deliberately orchestrated, Chi Miao's swift and decisive solution certainly brought a sense of relief to everyone.

Some people in the world respond better to gentle persuasion than force, but in times like these, firmness is necessary! No one will trust a weak emperor, a tolerant ruler!

An emperor should regard the world as her possession, everything should belong to her! Anyone who dares to offend her will surely suffer wrath and retribution.

If Chi Miao had hesitated for even a second, the control of the situation wouldn't have been as good as it is now.

She tilted her head slightly, a smile playing on her lips, and raised her voice:

"Now, does anyone still have any objections to my position as Emperor?"

She raised her chin, and there was complete silence below; no one objected.

Chi Miao laughed: "Since no one has any objections, then I shall naturally continue with tonight's coronation."

How could they dare to object?

Anyone who objects will die; they've completely realized that Chi Miao is no pushover.

No one answered.

Chi Miao looked much more satisfied, then turned around and said, "If there are no objections, let's move on to the next step. Don't keep our distinguished guests waiting."

As soon as Chi Miao finished speaking, a huge complex formation suddenly appeared below.

Everyone was shocked: "This... what is this formation?"

"A formation to summon the Judgment Bell?!"

The Judgment Bell is one of the very few artifacts that can truly be considered a divine artifact. What exactly do they mean by summoning the Judgment Bell at this moment?

This has once again confused all living beings.

Chi Miao, on the other hand, was very approachable and considerate in explaining to everyone: "It's not good to put some things too bluntly in front of you. Whether today is just the ascension to the throne or has a higher symbolic meaning, you should all know the answer in your hearts."

"Now that the Heavenly Dao has been lost, Miaohua Continent has become an independent plane. As the highest-ranking being in Miaohua Continent, and given its unique impartial nature, we invite the Chief Judge to oversee all of this on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. Don't you all find this quite ceremonial?"

Everyone gasped.

No, they're just guessing! You're really bold to say it!

Are you about to lay your ambitions bare?

Are you really going to lay your cards on the table? Okay, go ahead and lay your cards on the table. They don't seem to have any other options.

However... if the Judgment Bell is summoned and it rejects Chi Miao's ascension to the throne, it will be difficult for Chi Miao to gain recognition in the future.

Some people have already started to boo.

Little did they know, all Chi Miao wanted was a sense of ritual.

First, the judge could not possibly refute her.

Second, by refuting her, the judge effectively sidelined the judge.

All she wants is a sense of ritual. Whoever doesn't allow it will be dethroned, and the same goes for the divine artifact!

Anyway, it's not like she's never seen a magical artifact before, so who does she think she is, a country bumpkin?

"clang--!"

A melodious bell rang out, cleansing the world of all evil and filth. The surroundings felt like a celestial palace, a beauty beyond description.

Suddenly, clouds and swirling clouds appeared amidst the colorful clouds, and a huge ancient bell descended from the sky, slowly sinking down, and all living beings were amazed by its power.

"The Judgment Bell... a divine artifact of humanity! It represents the most just existence in this world, and I never imagined I would have the honor of witnessing it today!"

"What a colossal and ancient existence! It is said that this bell has existed since the beginning of time, and the continuation of human civilization is largely due to it!"

"Would the Trial Bell agree to such an absurd thing? Becoming the ruler of the world...?"

"Don't be silly. Even if Judge Zhong disagrees, what can he do? Can he kill Chi Miao? He can't, can he?"

"Oh... really? Is it just a formality?"

"It's hard to say. What if the judge really thinks Chi Miao is ungrateful and executes her?"

Although the possibility is small, it's not impossible; there's still some hope.

To be honest, no one wants to suddenly have a "ruler of the world" like this, but they know very well that with their own strength... they absolutely cannot have any impact on Chi Miao.

Ah—if you don't work hard when you're young, you'll be watching others become emperors when you're old.

How melancholy!

The judgment bell stopped moving halfway down.

Why?

Because the Judgment Bell sensed that the people from the Ten Great Sects were summoning it again, it thought to itself that there had been a lot going on with humanity in the past two years. In the past, they could not summon it even once in most of their lives. This time, it had only been a little over a year since the last time. Were they using its divine artifact as an everyday item?

Just as he was about to see what was going on, he saw a bustling human world below.

Oh no, where did he end up? Is this still the world he knows? Is this still the place he recognizes? How come he's so arrogant and domineering after not seeing him for a year?

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be... Chi Miao, an old acquaintance.

It seems we've entered the human world.

But what's she up to this time?

The judgment bell slowly descended to a position slightly higher than Chi Miao.

Chi Miao: "Come down a bit."

Trial Bell: "What if I lose face after stepping down?"

Chi Miao: "Standing shoulder to shoulder with me, your prestige doesn't decrease, it actually increases."

Trial Bell: "?"

What are you saying?

How come this girl's manners have dropped so much after not seeing her for a year?

He looked left and right, and finally asked, "What is the purpose of summoning me out this time? I don't see anyone with a strong aura of sin on them."

Chi Miao: "This time it's a bit special. We'll give you a super seniority and temporarily make you the Heavenly Dao to play around with."

Trial Bell: "???"

What is that?

Chi Miao: "This time you're judging me."

Trial Bell: "Huh???"
