Chapter 820: Don't Let Me Down_2
Lord Lin is the head of the Immortal Department, such important news ought to be reported personally, how can it pass through the hands of these maidservants?
Disrespecting His Majesty at the same time, surely disregards the sacrifices of so many colleagues striving outside.
"..."
Ye Lan stood quietly by the side, without speaking.
Over the course of this time, she had gradually discerned to what extent the relationship between the sovereign and his ministers had deteriorated.
That Lord Lin was not being disrespectful, but rather fearful... he was worried that the Human Emperor would decisively eliminate him.
"Ignore him, read these memorials."
The man smiled slightly. Although he hadn't yet looked at the memorials, Lin Shuya's sudden attitude, along with Gu Li's return, had already given him some clues.
The Human Emperor had not felt such tension for many years.
He was one of the Six Emperors, master of the Red Dust, ruling over all matters under heaven, but now, he was filled with trepidation.
"At your command, Your Majesty."
Gu Li reached out to take the memorials, reading them one by one, unhurriedly, while adding her own embellishments.
Great Freedom Lotus Pearl Bodhisattva executed Chu Xi in Nanping Prefecture, the Immortals rushed to the East Continent, Sumeru Mountain was retreating step by step, Joyful True Buddha appeared and invited two Emperors to debate in East Sumeru, aiming to end the great calamity and choose an Immortal Emperor to replace the Human Emperor.
As everything came to light, amidst these changes, a certain silhouette became increasingly distinct.
All these matters were inseparably linked to him, one could even say they were the results of his orchestration.
Using the two teachings as chess, wielding Immortals and Buddhas as pieces.
With exquisite chess skills, he forcibly won a path of life back for the Divine Dynasty!
Gu Li was a rather clumsy storyteller, no matter how animatedly she spoke, the scenes she described appeared slightly dry.
However, at this moment, the Human Emperor seemed to transform into a child, earnestly and immersed in listening to this story.
He widened his eyes, staring blankly into the void, his index finger repeatedly tapping the stones, at exciting parts, he couldn't help but clap his hands in delight: "Good! Good!"
Clearly, the Human Emperor was fantasizing about being able to personally accomplish these deeds.
As one of the Six Emperors, the parents of heaven and earth, at this moment he appeared like an infatuated child with stories of chivalry, admiring and envying that younger generation far less powerful than him.
In the presence of the True Buddha Emperor, recklessly slaughtering those Golden Immortal Bodhisattvas, yet able to retreat unscathed, even being exalted to the position of Immortal Emperor!
Shen Yi used facts to show the Human Emperor that even without sacrificing the lives of the common people, he similarly had ways to make the arrogant two teachings as pathetic as a stray dog.
"And then?" The man couldn't wait to turn around.
"And then..." Gu Li only recently understood why His Majesty previously asked if she had met the Tai Xu True Monarch, because this being who should have been the Immortal Emperor, stood on the side of the Divine Dynasty from the beginning.
In a place unknown to everyone, risking his life to battle, causing even the Immortals and Buddhas of the two teachings to feel panic.
"Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva wielded the Pure Buddha Bead, led many Great Freedom Bodhisattvas to intercept and kill Officer Shen, only to be subdued with one punch!"
The first under the True Buddha, coupled with the Innate Buddha Treasure, even on East Sumeru territory, relying on numbers to oppress the few, just hearing it brings despair.
Yet with all these conditions combined, it only resulted in a simple and straightforward four characters.
Subdued with one punch!
Hoarse laughter erupted from the wine pool.
The man slapped the stones with force, laughing until tears flew out.
Ye Lan bit her lips forcefully, that young man who once single-handedly saved the Southern Continent, now stood above numerous Golden Immortal Bodhisattvas, faintly bearing the mien of those legendary Giants.
When the laughter gradually subsided.
The Human Emperor contentedly rubbed his eyes, the exaggerated expression returned to calm.
The story was finished.
He had not released his emotions so freely for a long time.
"Isn't something still missing?" The man withdrew his gaze.
"Houtu Huangdi Qi intervened to abuse several Great Freedom Bodhisattvas, was captured by three True Buddhas led by the Present Buddha, and was escorted back all the way back to the North Continent..." As a Divine Dynasty General, Gu Li naturally knew how this vast Imperial Court was established back then.
The only Immortal standing in the Human World was finally ostracized by the two teachings.
In fact, it wasn't necessary for Gu Li to say much, ever since sensing Lin Shuya stopping outside the courtyard, the Human Emperor had already roughly guessed, which is why he previously listened so engrossedly to the story.
After all, within this unrestrained narrative, if mixed with anything else, it would become somewhat different.
The man's expression did not change, just slightly nodded his chin.
He had foreseen this scene long since Gu Li brought back the last piece of news.
Those two Sect Hierarchs ultimately became vigilant ahead of time.
Of course, this was not Shen Yi's fault, this young man had done exceedingly well, so well that even the Human Emperor felt ashamed in comparison.
If blame must be placed, blame the heavens for being too high, and the time for climbing left to ourselves was too short.
Exactly, although the Human Emperor had his suspicions for a long time, and didn't hesitate to sacrifice his already limited lifespan, wanting to accelerate the fusion of this Emperor's Aura, yet it was still too hasty.
Since the two teachings were already alert, there would be no room left for negotiation.
One move short of victory.
The man grinned, revealing his chipped tooth, the smile carrying a few traces of helplessness and some openness in acceptance.
How can there be a perfect solution in the world?
To proceed slowly would require sacrificing enough lives, if you are unwilling to sacrifice, naturally, you must pay other prices.
The Human Emperor closed his eyes, sensing Lin Shuya turning outside the courtyard, wanting to leave.
