Chapter 374: Chapter 59 Facing the Emperor, the Mandated High Priest (4000 Words Combined) _2
"For a myriad of years, the overlord of the Central Great Realm, hasn’t there been any means left behind to drag the world down into destruction with it?"
"If not, it’s not too late to start now."
Liang Hui’s gaze narrowed, his mouth curved in a cold, chilling smile.
"This game, the Human Race will either tie or win, there are no other outcomes."
"Many kings who can find the path to failure are also rare talents."
The elder’s eyebrows were tightly knit, his cloudy eyes firmly fixed on the youth.
Moments later, he slowly responded.
"This is indeed a viable path."
If the Central World were to collapse, the surrounding Great Realms, even if protected by an Emperor, would also be destroyed largely."
"But that’s just leveling the playing field, how do we win?"
"Find a Great Tribe, destroy it swiftly like thunder, with that shock the Exotic Races, gaining time to develop," Liang Hui stood with his hands behind his back, his robe fluttering in the wind.
Soon, a trace of mockery flashed through his eyes: "Of course, the so-called development is not to proceed in the mode the Human Race is currently following."
"To continue this way for another myriad of years, not only will it not become stronger, but it will actually become weaker."
Upon hearing this, a trace of bitterness crossed the elder’s face.
As the youth had said, the Human Race had driven out the attacking Hundred Clans, severely weakening themselves, now for ninety million years.
The Human Race was getting weaker, from the time of coexistence of five Emperors to now, when only he, a younger generation, was barely managing to hold up.
There were certainly factors such as constant harassment from Exotic Races, but there was absolutely something wrong with the Human Race itself.
For a moment, the stars themselves seemed to fall silent, with only two opposing figures standing.
"Sigh!"
With a sigh, the elder’s expression carried an unwillingness.
If action were taken according to the youth’s plan, the entire Human Race would undergo a cleansing, inevitably resulting in a sea of blood and littered corpses.
However, that slight unwillingness was eventually turned into determination, with a look of hope in his eyes as he looked at Liang Hui.
"I will undergo closed-door cultivation, during this time, you oversee the Human Race."
"In what capacity?" Although Liang Hui cared little for status, if he wanted to quickly consolidate the Human Race and foster development, status was a necessity.
One could not simply kill one’s way through, as that would be too time-consuming.
"High Priest, a position equivalent to the Emperor." The elder extended his hand and passed over a purple Jade Seal.
Liang Hui reached out and the moment he touched the Jade Seal, he felt a connection with the Central World forming.
This connection was extremely close, almost as if he could feel the pulse of the world.
Every trace of Battle Qi within his body became many times stronger.
"This is the Jade Seal of the High Priest, forged from the world’s origin, which will multiply your strength multiple times in war within the world."
Liang Hui played with the purple Jade Seal in his hand, his eyes deep: "Elder, you trust me too much."
"Heh, aside from this, there are no other choices, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it." The elder flipped his hand and passed another Emperor Edict.
"This Emperor Edict contains some of my power, take it to protect yourself."
"Good." Liang Hui took the Emperor Edict, feeling the vast and mighty power within, and nodded slightly.
His expression became solemn, making a promise: "This body, for the Human Race!"
As an Emperor, having granted insights of the ’Immortal’ Realm and directly entrusting the entire Human Race, such trust and affection deserved nothing less than commitment.
"I believe in you, Liang Hui."
The elder spoke softly.
Over the past month, he had already fully understood the other’s character.
Although dominantly assertive, his sense of gratitude and grievances was clear!
The figure of the elder slowly faded away, leaving the youth alone under the starry sky.
Liang Hui faced upward, holding the purple Jade Seal, and took steps toward the exterior of the Stone Hall.
...
Above the cracked riverbed, three bedraggled figures were desperately trying to heal their injuries.
But whether it was Fu Xiao or the other two Kings, the gaping wounds on their bodies simply could not heal.
Any method, as soon as it approached the wound, would be crushed into dust by the relentless Fistful Intent.
The Kings sitting on the Imperial Throne also occasionally lent their aid.
Time slipped away second by second.
While everyone aided the Emperor’s bloodline in recovering from injuries, they also looked deep into the Stone Hall.
Suddenly, all the kings shivered slightly.
They heard a sound.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
A tall figure, walking along the riverbed.
As Liang Hui arrived.
The Kings each fixed their gazes on the youth holding up the purple Jade Seal, even Fu Xiao stopped recovering from his injuries, casting his gaze over.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"
"The High Priest’s Jade Seal to an unknown Wild Cultivator? I don’t believe it," Fu Xiao murmured, his body tense, the wounds on his body splitting open again as blood flowed down.
Ignoring everyone’s gaze, Liang Hui walked step by step to the forefront.
Heh!
A light chuckle.
The Jade Seal in his hand emitted a faint purple glow.
The vast ocean and the Imperial Throne disappeared entirely.
The world became an indescribably vast palace with blue stone floors, each Coiling Dragon Column supporting the palace.
Liang Hui, draped in a Blue Robe, sat on the Imperial Throne, looking down at the kings below the steps.
"From now on, I am the High Priest of the Human Race."
"In the years to come, I will oversee the affairs of the Human Race."
Below the steps, the kings were visibly shocked.
Although they had guessed as much the moment they saw the Jade Seal in the young man’s hand, they were still unable to contain their astonishment when it was confirmed.
The High Priest had always been a position only attainable by Emperors, and yet now, a youth who wasn’t even a king had ascended to it.
Fu Xuan Emperor, why would you make such a decision?
Liang Hui placed the Jade Seal on the armrest, scanning the kings, his fingertips lightly tapping the Jade Seal.
Dong!
The clear sound of the jade ringing snapped the kings out of their reverie.
"From today onward, sever all ties with the Hundred Clans. On the lands of the Human Race Continent, let no living member of the Exotic Races remain."
"Fu Xiao, Zi Xuan, Bing Hui, Shi Tian, you four are to go to the battlefield beyond our realm; do not return without orders."
Liang Hui’s lips twisted into a grin, his eyes sweeping over the four defiant ones with a hint of expectation.
"Come, accept your commands, the four of you."
"By your command, High Priest!"
"By your command, High Priest!"x3
Four low cries, four figures knelt before the steps.
Even Fu Xiao, who harbored the deepest resentment, was no exception.
Holding the Jade Seal, Liang Hui symbolized the Emperor’s authority, and no one could defy the Emperor.
After the four had responded, Liang Hui seemed somewhat disappointed and gestured for them to leave.
He then began issuing a sequence of commands once again.
"Abolish the hunting ground divisions, prohibit the Great Tribes from bullying the smaller tribes...."
"Establish schools, spread the Methods of Cultivation....."
....
"Except for a few who will stay to guard, the rest of the kings will go to the battlefield beyond the realm in batches....."
Listening to the commands echoing in the Stone Hall, Fu Xiao’s eyes were filled with resentment, and even more so, reluctance.
The plans of the Human Race for thousands, tens of thousands of years, ruined by a junior!
"How can this be? How could this happen?" the middle-aged man clad in damaged armor, his face filled with loss.
He would take a few steps, then stop and look back.
And Bing Hui, a woman, leapt up and headed to the battlefield beyond the realm, never looking back.
Moments later, only Fu Xiao and two others remained on the scene.
"Your Highness, should we not inform ’him’ to minimize casualties among the Exotic Races and mitigate the damage caused by Liang Hui as much as possible?"
"No! Do not inform him."
"If he is so confident, thinking of us as cowards, let us see how far he can go."
Fu Xiao’s voice was hoarse as he dragged his injured body toward the distance.
The two kings behind him exchanged glances, their eyes filled with resignation as they hurriedly followed.
Liang Hui, who was issuing commands in the palace, slightly turned his head to look in the direction of the departing trio.
He then resumed overseeing the discussions.
Each of his commands, which would inevitably cause significant disruptions to vested interests, did not concern him.
No matter who it was, regardless of their power, whether their lineage was noble or lowly, anyone who secretly disobeyed or openly opposed him would...
Die!!
With absolute power, crush all opposition, slaughter all those who defied him.
From the moment he accepted the Jade Seal, he had prepared for everything.
And below the steps, the kings stood dumbfounded, listening to one command after another—commands that in normal times would have taken centuries to implement.
But now, the High Priest wanted these commands executed within a month.
At that moment, even these kings felt a chill run through them.
They seemed to see mountains of corpses, seas of blood flowing. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
