chapter 5601: den of swindlers
the emperorâs declaration lit a spark in his allies. he might be the oldest among them - a member of the previous epoch. his true age couldnât be calculated accurately at this point.
he survived numerous events and wars, witnessing the changes of the world and the peopleâs tenacity.
âyouâre right, no one lives forever. dying in battle isnât a bad way to go at all.â luminous laughed and said.
âemperors of the people shall never beg for mercy from celestial court.â six-finger and the others mentally prepared themselves.
âgentlemen, if all of you harbor such grand aspirations, we shall indulge you.â war ancient god said: âitâs a shame you wonât be able to see celestial courtâs dominion over the six continents in the future.â
âhahaha, nonsense, if it were possible, it would have done so long ago.â immortal emperor yao guang laughed.
âit does not have a chance as long as the people are still around.â luminous shook his head.
âiâm afraid you two donât understand.â war said: âtimes are changing, now is the era of celestial court. immortal dao city is closed and imperial field canât amount to much alone. their emperors have disappeared among the river of time, who will stop us now?â
luminous and the others exchanged glances, finding it hard to refute this argument.
no one understood why immortal dao city was closed off from the rest of the world. if this continued in the future, the people would lose its strongest support.
as for imperial field, it had been silent after the last great war as well. although most still believed that their strongest members were still around, there were too many questions left unanswered.
âthe rise of celestial court will open a new world and an entirely new epoch. all living beings will be subjects of celestial court henceforth, its light will be eternal.â war said matter-of-factly.
this was not a passionate speech filled with romantic ideologies. he seemed to truly believe this.
âsurprise?â li qiye said with a smile.
âyou were gone from the mortal world. rumor has it that you perished with the heaven.â war said.
âhas the heaven perished?â li qiye pointed upward.
celestial court had been searching for the dark crow after the war during the previous epoch. they never stopped, not during the grand calamity or all the subsequent wars.
the elusive dark crow was nowhere to be found when even the most mysterious purewood divine emperor finally showed up.
those aware of the dark crowâs existence thought that he was gone at last - either destroyed during the great calamity or was in an unreachable world... thus, celestial court stopped the search.
now, war had the displeasure of meeting the familiar figure whom celestial court despised and feared the most, always wishing for his demise.
âwho is he?â younger conquerors and dragon lords werenât exposed to the legends of the dark crow. after all, he was a taboo figure from the previous epoch.
âthe legend himself.â immortal emperor yao guang murmured.
his era was filled with the dark crowâs exploits. the whispers only stopped after the new epoch.
now, the legend was back in their world.
âback again...â war murmured - this was a terrible development for celestial court.
previously, the dark crow had brought nothing but trouble for celestial court. was this going to be a repeat?
âindeed, it seems that i am back.â li qiye touched his nose and smirked.
