Chapter 48 The New Emperor Arrives
In Holy Mountain City, news of the new emperor's arrival has spread throughout the entire city.
"Great Emperor, to witness your ascension to the Holy Mountain City in my lifetime!" an old man exclaimed, his heart pounding with emotion. "I will meticulously record everything I have witnessed and leave it for future generations."
These are the true elders who witnessed the passing of the previous emperor and the end of a glorious era; they are the ones who feel the most emotion.
The last time an emperor ruled Holy Mountain City was nearly 100,000 years ago. Time is merciless, and the residents of Holy Mountain City have changed generation after generation. For many people, being able to personally experience such a grand event is absolutely rare and a source of great honor.
At this time, many people in Holy Mountain City were looking forward to the arrival of the Great Emperor.
For some, the city lord is merely the steward of Holy Mountain City, while the emperor is the true master of this place; Holy Mountain City is incomplete without the emperor's presence.
Many people even believe that the current chaos and conflict in the world is due to the lack of a sufficiently powerful person to suppress it.
Of course, in addition to these, there are also feelings of confusion, fear, and anxiety.
The stone gate at the massive abyss chasm was no longer as noisy as the outside world; instead, it was enveloped in a repressive calm.
"They should be coming out soon," a powerful winged human said softly.
The Stone Gate World is very peculiar. Going deeper inside will lead to all sorts of difficulties and dangers, but returning will not be the case, so the return speed is many times faster.
A tense atmosphere spread through the crowd.
"This is truly worrying; I wonder who the Great Emperor is."
"I just hope they're not our enemies."
"We made many preparations before coming in, and we just hope it's not the worst outcome."
The unknown is what's terrifying.
If it were truly an enemy becoming emperor, it would be an absolute nightmare for certain people and forces.
Historically, the ascension of some great emperors often signified a period of bloodshed and the demise of certain forces.
With such a major event happening now, there are not many people who can calm down and continue their cultivation.
Only Suk, the Gure clan, and a very small number of others are still persisting.
Seeing that Su Ke remained unmoved and focused on his cultivation in front of the stone gate, the old man in the golden robe nodded inwardly. Regardless of the young man's aptitude, his temperament alone was quite good, and he was barely worthy of his granddaughter.
He remembered that Suk seemed to come from the side of the idle cultivators. Saint Liumira even made a personal request to all parties for him to be able to come here. He must be a junior whom Saint Liumira and Saint Hail valued very much. His status and position were not low, and he was qualified to marry into their Gulei family.
The old man in the golden robe had already thought of a name for his unborn great-grandson.
Just then, two figures suddenly flew out from the portal on the stone gate.
"Someone's coming out!"
The area above the abyss rift, which had previously been filled with some sounds, suddenly fell into absolute silence.
Pairs of eyes, filled with anxiety, tension, panic, and anticipation... all kinds of gazes were focused on the direction of Shimen.
The two figures standing suspended in mid-air suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.
One of them was a tall, robust man, and the other was a petite woman. They were Hail and Liumira, who had just returned from their breakthrough inside the stone gate.
Although they entered the deepest part of the stone gate and were delayed for several days, their breakthrough to the cosmic level greatly increased their strength, allowing them to appear here before the other parties who returned earlier.
Seeing the deathly silence before him, and remembering his master's instructions, Hail's face revealed an imposing expression. He let out a cold snort, and an incomparably powerful aura swept over him.
"boom!"
The aura of a ninth-order cosmic level being erupted without reservation.
"what!"
It was as if the heavens and earth were enraged, and the surrounding space trembled. It was as if a divine dragon had descended and was pressing down on countless ants. The oppressive force that left people with no power to resist spread outwards in an instant. People felt the pressure around them becoming more and more astonishing and retreated one after another.
Those as weak as planetary-level beings are completely paralyzed and unable to move, only being protected by their elders to prevent them from falling into the abyss.
Suk had already retreated silently behind the group with his guards when Hail and the others came out, keeping away from the area covered by Hail's aura.
"How terrifying!"
"Such an astonishing aura! This is the power of an Emperor!"
"Hayel! A master from an unaffiliated force, he actually became an emperor!!!"
Awe-inspiring gazes were fixed on the dazzling Hail.
The figure stood there like a majestic divine mountain. At the same time, an invisible aura surged and spread out, its intangible power directly pressing down on the saints and others present.
A deep, authoritative voice resounded. "I, Hail, have returned as Emperor. Is there anyone who dares to object?"
His eyes pierced the crowd like sharp swords.
A chill ran through me.
The various factions present looked at each other, but without much hesitation, they all knelt down.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Respectfully and without a single discordant note, regardless of whether it was Holy Mountain City, or the Sea People, Winged People, Coral People, Snow People... none of the forces had the slightest thought of resistance, and all respectfully worshipped and submitted.
The image of the invincible emperor has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the natives for countless years. Now that Hail has successfully ascended to the Emperor Realm, no matter how he did it, his strength is undeniable. An emperor is an emperor, possessing invincible strength that can sweep away everything. Even if they unite to resist, it would be nothing but a joke.
Some were even secretly relieved that it was Hayr who became emperor, not their enemy.
Hail stood there motionless, accepting the kneeling worship of the crowd, before slowly nodding after a long while.
The old man in the golden robe was the first to stand up, flying to Hai'er's side. Still shaken by the sight of this former idle peak-level saint now transformed into a high and mighty emperor, he respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, I am City Lord Gu Lei, the administrator of Holy Mountain City. When will Your Majesty hold the grand ceremony?"
Traditionally, each emperor would hold an enthronement ceremony, which would also proclaim the emperor's authority to the world and win the hearts of all people.
Hail glanced at Lord Gulei and said slowly, "No rush, no rush, let's wait until the one-year period is completely over before we talk about it."
The Lord of Gulei City's heart skipped a beat. "Does the Emperor mean...?"
Hail said, "I will continue to study the mysteries of the stone gate here; we'll talk about the grand ceremony later." In fact, he stayed behind to cover for Suk.
"I understand, then we..." Lord Gulei hesitated.
Recalling the voice from the darkness earlier, Hail said expressionlessly, "You can stay here as long as you don't bother me."
"Naturally, no one would dare to disturb the Great Emperor, so I will take my leave now." Lord Gulei breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the answer he wanted.
At this moment, Liu Mila had already flown to Suk's side, and all eyes around naturally focused on Suk.
The people most excited about Hail's success were undoubtedly the saints in the idle faction who had previously associated with Hail.
Many other forces are considering how to curry favor with the new emperor and improve their relationship in order to gain an advantage in future developments.
To put it bluntly, the emperor's single word can determine the rise and fall of a great power.
Therefore, upon seeing the young Suk, many people recognized his status as a "junior" and their eyes lit up. In that instant, quite a few forces had the same thought as the old man in the golden robe.
The most regretful were undoubtedly the sea people. When they saw Hail become the emperor, they naturally knew that Hail and Liumila were together. Thinking of the things they had offended before, the arrogant and conceited sea people began to feel uneasy and think about how to apologize to the new emperor.
