I only want to win over the fairy.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

The terrifying golden dragon exploded the moment it made contact with her, unleashing a series of deafening roars.

The explosion sent flames soaring into the sky, and the magnificent palace was reduced to ruins in an instant.

Tick-tock, tick-tock...

As the flames subsided, a few drops of blue blood slid from Gui Ming's palm, eventually dripping onto the ground and splashing with a few drops of water.

"Trying to be clever with little tricks!"

Gui Ming looked at the crimson sword stuck in her right palm, her expression extremely gloomy. The golden dragon that her opponent had gathered was unable to break through her scale defense, but she had been careless.

The opponent's attack was never from the dragon, but from the sword hidden within the dragon's raging energy.

Imperial Weapon - Crimson Sky Sword.

From beginning to end, Si Zhou did not believe that he could threaten Gui Ming, and the other party never took him seriously. Therefore, his goal was simple: to take advantage of the other party's contempt to undermine him!

Since the other party wants to devour the human race's fortune, then let them devour it.

The throne of the Human Emperor will become a shackle that binds you!

The fate of humanity will become your prison!

"Lord of the Forbidden Zone, you have been careless. The reason why the human race can become the master of heaven and earth is not because the human race has power far exceeding that of other races, but because the human race has wisdom. Now it is time for you to experience this wisdom!"

Dozens of different voices echoed in Guiming's mind. They were the voices of countless human ancestors in the ancestral temple, as well as the whispers of the long-departed souls.

In an instant, Gui Ming's face showed a look of horror, as she suddenly realized something.

Immediately afterwards, a series of voices of approval rang out.

"The twenty-seventh Human Emperor has recognized Gui Ming as the new Human Emperor."

"The 34th Human Emperor recognizes Guiming as the new Human Emperor."

"The sixty-first Human Emperor has recognized Gui Ming as the new Human Emperor..."

Just as the votes of approval were about to pass by half and only one vote remained to make him the rightful emperor, a voice of opposition rang out.

"The ninth Human Emperor refused to return to the sea to become the new Human Emperor."

After this dissenting voice rang out, the remaining voices all expressed a different opinion in a mocking tone.

"We all abstain!"

"Although the number of votes in favor did not exceed half, considering that there were too many votes in favor and too few votes against, our human race is willing to make an exception and accept Guiming as a member of the human race, appointing him as the new Human Emperor to inherit the name of the Human Emperor!"

"Given his status as a foreign race, he must not violate the three great laws of humanity during his reign: First, as the emperor, he must not do anything to harm humanity or damage its interests; second, everything must be done with the interests of humanity above all else; third, violating the first and second laws will be considered a betrayal of humanity, and the betrayer will suffer the punishment of being devoured by billions of humanity!"

A majestic and solemn tone, yet tinged with mockery, kept echoing in Gui Ming's mind, seemingly ridiculing his foolishness.

"Lord of the restricted area, how are you feeling now!"

"Although we cannot solve your problem, let alone defeat you, we can rely on certain rules to bind you here. Although you have the title of Human Emperor, you are not qualified to control the fate of the human race, nor are you qualified to call on the human race. You will even be constrained by your identity as the Human Emperor."

"You're two million years too early to try and seize the destiny of my human race. Go back to being a deep-sea fish!"

A legitimate human emperor, besides possessing the talent to lead the entire human race, also needs the recognition of successive human emperors in the ancestral temple. Gui Ming has now obtained nearly half of the votes, but is just one short. However, there are many votes supporting her, only one vote against her, and the rest abstained, which puts her in this awkward position.

He was stuck in a situation where he could obtain the throne of the human emperor, but he would not gain any power at all, and would even have to bear many responsibilities.

Unless Guiming is willing to voluntarily relinquish this nominal title of "Human Emperor," but the title of "Human Emperor" is not something that can be relinquished at will. Until it is time for you to abdicate, you can only accept this position until Guiming removes the restrictions they have placed on you.

If Guiming wanted to forcibly remove her from this position, she would have to bear the backlash of the human race's fortune, especially since she was still a foreigner.

This was originally intended as a preventative measure to prevent foreign races from seizing human territory and to prevent traitors from emerging within the human race, but unexpectedly, it was first experienced by such a great emperor.

The solution is simple: either Guiming gains the approval of these old guys, who remove his current restrictions and allow him to pass the test and become a true Human Emperor, but that's impossible because the souls left behind by these old guys have already burned out and are about to cease to exist, so they naturally can't help Guiming remove them.

Either Guiming could find a suitable successor, someone outstanding enough to gain the recognition of the entire human race and its destiny, like the Yellow Emperor, who could command the human race's destiny to condense the Xuanyuan Sword for his own use, and then pass the throne to him, thus freeing him from the current many restrictions. But how could that be possible?

A figure as brilliant and extraordinary as the Yellow Emperor, capable of suppressing multiple eras, is not so easy to come by.

Therefore, Guiming can only try to gradually wear down the constraints of the position of [Human Emperor] on her, and this time will be at least several hundred years. These old guys have long since died and are only remnants of their souls. In the end, being able to make a Lord of a forbidden zone be bound for more than a hundred years is already the limit of what they can do. The rest can only be seen within these hundred years whether the human race can give birth to a powerful being capable of fighting against Guiming.

"Alas, the self-severed Supreme Being has recovered to his peak, returned to the position of Great Emperor, and still carries the mark of the ruler of heaven and earth. I'm afraid a great change is about to occur in the Nine Provinces."

The sages of the Imperial Palace sighed with emotion.

They believed that it was impossible for the human race to produce a powerful figure capable of fighting Guiming within a hundred years. After all, throughout history, there had only been two human emperors whose strength reached the level of Guiming. How could such a being be born within a hundred years, especially since there was still a full thousand years before the path to becoming an emperor was opened?

This is tantamount to temporarily depriving humanity of the possibility of pooling the resources of the entire human race to cultivate a worthless emperor.

"Tsk, you forcibly gave me this position and restricted me with all sorts of rules, but you don't think that will stop me, do you?"

Gui Ming sneered, casually pulling out the Crimson Sky Sword from his right hand, looking disdainful: "If I were in my Supreme Era, I might really be bound by you for a hundred years, but now I can break free of your constraints in five months at most."

Without the restrictions of these old fogies, the human race's fortune is like a naked mermaid before Gui Ming; she can play with it however she wants and absorb it however she wants, and there is no one who can stop her.

Anyway, I have plenty of time, so I'll take it slow.

Before proceeding, this place should be sealed off to prevent other entities from discovering our purpose. Although I am not afraid of any enemy, it is better to be cautious just in case.

I've already learned my lesson once; it would be incredibly foolish to suffer another loss due to carelessness.

..........

Not many people knew about the attack on the Human Emperor's Palace. As one of the most important lifelines of the human race, this place was not located in a conspicuous place like other sects, but existed in a special secret realm, and was accessed through many hidden arrays that connected it to the outside world.

Originally, this was set up to prevent the Human Emperor Palace from being discovered by external enemies. As time went on, the Human Emperor Palace became more and more powerful, and naturally there was no need to guard against external enemies anymore. Thus, this secrecy became the rule for the Human Emperor Palace to stay away from various forces, not to take the initiative to appear in the world and affect or even rule other sects.

Even when disciples of the Human Emperor Palace go out for training, they use the names of other minor sects. Only under special circumstances can they use the name of the Human Emperor Palace. Moreover, under normal circumstances, disciples of the Human Emperor Palace rarely go out.

However, no one could have imagined that this secret would now leave the palace isolated and helpless.

The only person who might know about this situation is Qiu Yuelian, who is still on her way to the Xuantian Sect.

However, the Holy Maiden of the Human Emperor Palace, who had set off several days earlier, encountered some crises because she met a rather troublesome fellow.

The troublesome woman before them was a gray-haired beauty with a cold and arrogant appearance. This snake-like woman wore a wide black robe that could cover her entire body. The exquisite gemstone earrings on her earlobes and neck added to her nobility, while her healthy wheat-colored skin gave her an exotic look.

The ancient demon race, the Bashe clan, Shen Tu.

Her purpose in approaching Qiu Yuelian was simple: she wanted to find Bai. According to the previous simulation, she could use her master to make connections and exchange the treasure with Mingyue Supreme for Bai's identity. However, for some reason, her master rejected her actions without hesitation and told her not to inquire about Bai's identity anymore.

However, having long regarded Bai as her lifelong enemy, how could she give up so easily? So she immediately thought of Qiu Yuelian, intending to find out Bai's identity and whereabouts from her.

"You should give up. I don't know his real identity either."

Qiu Yuelian thought that Shen Tu was a pure and simple believer. In the simulation, Bai Yi had beaten her head up, but she still called herself his nemesis all day long and even planned to personally challenge him.

That's enough.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy's strength far surpasses mine, and I wouldn't even be able to slap him in the face right now, I would have already sweet-talked her and shown her what human swear words are.

"is it?"

Shen Tu's serpentine eyes narrowed slightly. The next moment, she moved closer to Qiu Yuelian, flicked her tongue, and licked the sweat from the other's face. Her gaze immediately turned icy: "This smell! It's the smell of lies!! Lying to me is pointless!!!"

Snakes are cold-blooded animals and are extremely sensitive to temperature. Since a creature's emotions can affect its body temperature, Shen Tu can easily determine whether someone is lying based on their body temperature.

That damn snake of yours is enough!

Qiu Yuelian was so angry at this persistent guy that she wanted to grind her teeth. If the tables had turned on her, she would have loved to cook this snake in a big pot right now.

Seemingly realizing that he couldn't get the guy to talk by threatening him alone, Shen Tu reassured him, "Don't worry, I'm actually quite friendly. My only goal is to settle things with him. If you know what's good for you and help me find him, I might spare your life and his."

Does that mean you're just going to kill us all because I'm being ungrateful?

However, you ancient demons have absolutely no credibility with me, so I would rather die than tell you Bai Yi's whereabouts. So give up on that idea!

Qiu Yuelian didn't believe a word Shen Tu said. She had fought against the ancient demon race for so long in the simulation. It would be too foolish of her not to know this.

Even if she dies and is eaten by you, you snake, she would never reveal Bai Yi's whereabouts!

However, continuing to deceive and remain silent was not a good idea, so she decided to change the subject and let the snake know that there would be no good end for it to be an enemy of her and Bai Yi. So she asked, "You should already know the results of the last simulation, right?"

"That Guiming has regained the throne of the Great Emperor and easily destroyed many sects. He eventually occupied the Human Emperor's Palace, causing the ocean to cover the land and almost wiping out all living beings on the ground. I think your ancient demon race would not want to see such a situation, after all, your goal is the land of Kyushu, not the land of Kyushu submerged in the sea."

"Moreover, even Bai couldn't handle Guiming in the last simulation. If you can find a way to eliminate Guiming, wouldn't that prove that you are better than Bai? And if we don't get rid of that guy and let him suppress an era, then none of us will be able to become a Great Emperor in the end."

"...Hmph, of course I know that." Shen Tu knew that Qiu Yuelian was trying to provoke her, but as a prodigy, she naturally had her own pride: "Gui Ming only regained the position of Great Emperor by using the cultivation simulator to get some good reward. It's not like anyone doesn't have any trump cards."

"That's really too..." Qiu Yuelian was just feeling smug about fooling this stupid snake when she suddenly discovered that the token she carried, which could be used to contact her master Si Zhou, had shattered.

Chapter 165 Movements of All Parties

The token Qiu Yuelian uses to contact her master, Si Zhou, the Palace Master of the Human Emperor Palace, is specially made. There are only two possibilities for the token to shatter.

One possibility is that her master accidentally broke the other half of the token, while another possibility is...

The holder has died!

No way, I must be overthinking it!

Her master is the Palace Master of the Human Emperor Palace, one of the strongest people in the world. Even the sect leaders of the nine immortal sects would suffer defeat in front of her master. In the Human Emperor Palace, her master can use the formation, the imperial weapons stored in the Human Emperor Palace, and the power of human destiny to gain a hundred or even ninety times more combat power than before. He can even fight against the Great Emperor. It is impossible for him to be in trouble.

"I need to go back to the Human Emperor's Palace first." Qiu Yuelian immediately stood up, intending to return to the Human Emperor's Palace as quickly as possible to check the situation.

Her behavior was naturally not permitted by Shen Tu, whose pressure, belonging to the Dao Integration Realm, instantly enveloped her and firmly suppressed her in place.

"I didn't say you could leave." Shen Tu wouldn't let Qiu Yuelian leave. He had gone to great lengths to stop her, and if he let her return to the Human Emperor's Palace, he probably wouldn't be able to catch her again.

“Ugh…” The powerful pressure squeezed her from all directions, causing Qiu Yuelian to let out a mournful cry. At present, she was only at the Falling Moon Realm, how could she possibly contend with Shen Tu, who was at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm?

It should be noted that during the era in which Shen Tu was active, if her master had not already become an emperor, if there hadn't been a great emperor suppressing her, and if the world hadn't been unable to support a second great emperor, she would probably have become an emperor herself.

"Get out of my way! I don't have time to waste on your nonsense right now!!!" Qiu Yuelian's face was contorted. What she was thinking just now might fool others, but it was impossible for her to fool herself.

Her master wasn't so senile that he would break the contact token.

Moreover, the destruction of the Human Emperor's Palace in the last simulation was a real event. Although it happened hundreds of years later, who can say for sure that Guiming wouldn't attack the Human Emperor's Palace beforehand after learning about the simulation's content?

In her view, Gui Ming's sudden recovery from Supreme to Flawless Emperor must be thanks to the cultivation simulator, so he, like them, has the ability to predict reality through simulation.

Seeing her impatient appearance, Shen Tu guessed the reason behind it: "I just heard a cracking sound. Could it be that the life tablet of someone important to you broke?"

"I advise you not to test my patience. Although I cannot fight you, I have the means to take you down with me. If you continue to pester me, then don't blame me!" Qiu Yuelian struggled, but her words were full of confidence.

"Huh? As if no one lacks the confidence to do so. You have the confidence to perish with me, while I have the confidence to prevent you from doing so." Shen Tu smiled and said calmly, "Besides, I have the upper hand now. If one day you have the upper hand and I fall into your hands, and I'm in a hurry to save someone, will you let me leave?"

Qiu Yuelian: "......"
