145: Humanity is in an uproar: We have an Emperor in charge!

Words Become Law.

Killing a King with a single word!

These four words were like the most violent storm, instantly sweeping through the entire Yaochi Heavenly Palace!

Everyone present, whether they were Ancient Creatures or Human Race Cultivators, seemed to have been struck by a freezing spell at this moment, staring blankly at the Youth in White Robes standing in the blood mist with a sleepy expression.

In their minds, there was only a blank space left.

And an endless... roaring!

That was... an ancient King!

A forbidden existence that once looked down upon all living beings and viewed Saints as mere ants!

As a result... just like that... with a single word... he was spoken to death?!

What kind of... god-like technique is this?!

This is no longer a question of being strong or not!

This is... crushing on a dimensional level!

In the corner.

The Human Race Saint Lords, who had always been treated as background characters and whose hearts were already filled with despair, saw this scene.

One by one, their bodies trembled violently, not because of fear, but because of... extreme... excitement!

"I... did I see that correctly?"

A family head from an ancient noble family gripped the arm of the person next to him so tightly that his nails dug into the flesh, but he was completely unaware of it.

"Just now... was that... Words Become Law?"

"It... it seems so..." The voice of the person next to him was also wavering.

"Words Become Law... isn't that the supreme Divine Ability that, according to legend, only a Great Emperor who has attained the Dao can begin to master?!"

"Could it be... could it be..."

An extremely absurd yet blood-boiling thought began to grow wildly in their hearts!

"Thud!"

It was unknown who was the first to react.

Looking at that figure in white robes who still stood with hands behind his back, elegant and peerless, he could no longer suppress the excitement and reverence in his heart.

His knees softened, and he knelt down heavily!

"Junior... Ji Changkong, Ji Family Head..."

His voice trembled with endless fervor as he performed the full prostration kowtow in Li Daoxuan's direction!

"Greetings... Great Emperor of the Human Race!!"

This shout was like a sudden clap of thunder, instantly igniting the entire scene!

"Greetings, Great Emperor of the Human Race!!"

"Greetings, Great Emperor!!"

"Our Human Race... has an Emperor!!"

"Wuwuwu... the heavens have eyes! Our Human Race has finally produced another Great Emperor!!"

The mountain-shaking, ocean-roaring shouts echoed through the clouds!

All the Human Race Cultivators went crazy at this moment!

One by one, their eyes filled with tears, their bodies trembling with excitement as they all knelt on the ground together!

The scene was incredibly pious and incredibly fervent!

How many years has it been?

Ever since the Azure Emperor passed away, this world has not seen a Great Emperor for tens of thousands of years!

The Human Race had also been suppressed by the Ancient Myriad Races for far too long!

They lived frustrated, lived in shame, and even once became mere food!

And now.

A living Great Emperor belonging to their own Human Race was standing right before them!

What did this mean?

This meant that from today onwards, the Human Race... would never have to look at anyone else's face again!

No longer would they need to bow and scrape!

No longer would they be... at the mercy of others!

They could straighten their backs and tell all the races of the world—

My Human Race is not to be bullied!

In mid-air.

Li Daoxuan was also slightly stunned as he heard the mountain-shaking shouts of "Greetings, Great Emperor" from below.

Great Emperor?

When did I become a Great Emperor?

He glanced at his System panel.

【Cultivation: Emperor Realm (Peak)】

Hmm... although the System wrote it this way, this was only a Realm; he hadn't gone to face that damn Heavenly Tribulation yet, nor had he received the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. Strictly speaking, he couldn't be considered a true Great Emperor who had attained the Dao.

However... Li Daoxuan looked at the faces below, filled with hope and fervor.

Then he looked at the few Archaic Ancestor Kings opposite him who were completely scared witless.

He rubbed his chin.

"It seems... not denying it doesn't really matter?"

"Anyway... it's about the same."

And so.

Under the watchful eyes of the multitude.

Li Daoxuan slowly turned around.

He neither admitted nor denied it.

He just calmly and gently pressed his hand down toward the crowd below.

"Rise, all of you."

That posture, that bearing.

He was not a Great Emperor, yet he surpassed one!

"Thank you, Great Emperor!!"

The people of the Human Race kowtowed once more and then stood up excitedly, each one puffing out their chest and holding their head high, their backs straight as a poker!

The feeling was as if they had instantly transformed from an bullied little daughter-in-law into the Empress herself!

On the other side.

The Ancient Myriad Races had completely collapsed.

「G-Great... Great Emperor?」

The Golden Ancestor King knelt on the ground, his whole body shaking like a sieve.

His withered old face was filled with endless despair and... absurdity.

The Human Race... actually... really produced a living Great Emperor?!

In this era without Emperors?!

How the hell are we supposed to fight this?!

This is simply like a max-level account with divine gear coming to a beginner village to slaughter everyone!

No sportsmanship!

No sportsmanship at all!

"It's over..."

"It's all over..."

The remaining Ancestor Kings also had faces as ashen as death.

They finally understood.

Why that Li Daoxuan had been so fearless from beginning to end.

Why his Disciples dared to show off with an Emperor Weapon each.

Why he dared to crush a Soul Transformation with a finger and slap away a Quasi-Emperor.

Because, before a true Great Emperor.

They, these so-called Ancestor Kings and Saint Kings.

Were truly... no different from ants.

"Lord... Lord Emperor, spare us!"

The Golden Ancestor King was the first to react, kowtowing frantically for mercy, his head almost knocking into the ground.

"We... we had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai! We didn't know it was you, Senior, in person!"

"We are willing to submit! Willing to be slaves for all eternity! We only beg Lord Emperor to spare our dog lives!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We are willing to submit!"

"We won't dare anymore! We'll never dare to treat the Human Race as food again!"

The Primordial Imperial Clans, who were just now so overbearing and wanting to divide the world's territories.

At this moment, each was so humble they were not even as good as dogs.

The speed of their face-changing was faster than flipping a book.

Their begging posture was more professional than anyone's.

Their arrogant aura from before had long since vanished without a trace.

Only... endless fear remained.

And... the trembling... of death.
