Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

Located at the center of the Floating Island, what everyone originally thought was a mountain turned out to be a person!

This person, sitting cross-legged at the center of the Floating Island, presented as a seated figure. Even in a sitting pose, it was thousands of kilometers tall.

In front of him, Chu Qin and the others seemed utterly insignificant!

Moreover, his eyes were forced shut, his head tilted slightly forward, as if he had stopped breathing.

"Is this a sculpture or a person!" Elder Chi Jin exclaimed in astonishment.

"A person!" Chu Qin stated confidently, "To be precise, he should be dead."

"Is this the Supreme God who is said to have died here?" the Shenmu Elder exclaimed in surprise.

"Given that he could create a Demi-Emperor undead skeleton, it should be right, and moreover, this Supreme God must be from the Giant God Race, that's why he's so enormous!" Life God King said.

"Look, there is a big chest over there!" Elder Long Yan shouted.

Everyone followed where he pointed, and at the feet of the Supreme Titan God, there was a huge chest.

"Let's go check it out!" Chu Qin said.

Immediately, everyone followed closely behind him.

This was an ancient golden chest that seemed to have no Dharma Seals, and it opened with a flip.

Inside the chest, there were secret manuals, Divine Artifacts of the same size as regular books, and a piece of paper.

"Eh, if he's from the Giant God Race, how could he read such small secret manuals?" Gu Yuena said in surprise.

"This Giant God was a Supreme God. Of course, they could use Divine Power to shrink their bodies, but after his death, without the Divine Power, he could only return to his original size."

"So that's how it is!" Gu Yuena nodded in understanding.

"What does this piece of paper say?" Chu Qin looked at the completely incomprehensible text and asked doubtfully, "Life, take a look!"

"This piece of paper roughly records the life of this Supreme God and why he fell here. This Supreme God was born in the Titan God Star Domain, the lord of the Starfield, known as Shi Tian Di. Later, a powerful being stole the prized treasure of the Giant God Clan, and Shi Tian Di pursued the thief here, fell into an ambush by three Supreme Gods, killed one, gravely wounded another, but unfortunately, also fell here himself!" Life God King explained.

"Hiss~ So there really are Supreme Gods in this world!" The Shenmu Elder exclaimed in awe.

"Moreover, this Shi Tian Di was too extreme, wasn't he? One person against three Supreme Gods, and he even killed one!" Ye Zixi also added her thoughts.

Chu Qin had long been aware of the existence of Supreme Gods; in the original work, the circle of major gods included twelve Supreme Gods.

"Life, what else does the paper say?" Chu Qin continued to inquire.

"This chest contains the life's work of Shi Tian Di, especially the secret manuals inside, which are the legacy secret manuals and ultimate treasures of the Giant God Clan. He hopes that someone who reads this note will return the secret manuals and treasures to the Giant God Clan, and there will be unexpected rewards. Otherwise, they will meet their demise here..."

"What, this Shi Tian Di is being too unreasonable!" Gu Yuena complained indignantly, "We've come here with great difficulty just to be errand runners for this so-called Shi Tian Di!"

"Right, he's already dead, yet he says we will meet our demise here, who would believe that!" Elder Tian Miao responded.

"Why don't we take the secret manuals and treasures with us?" Elder Shi Yan suggested, "Inside, there's the secret of how Shi Tian Di broke through to the Supreme God level, it will definitely make our Nine Dragon Divine Domain soar to great heights!"

Chu Qin's eyes were turning.

Although these secret manuals were important, Chu Qin always felt that they weren't the Emperor's Treasure that the System hinted about.

Could it be necessary to return the secret manuals to the Giant God Clan?

But according to the System's usual manner, it wouldn't issue such a difficult task.

"Forget it, we can't touch anything inside this chest!" Chu Qin paused before saying.

"Ah!" Everyone looked at Chu Qin, all somewhat astonished.

"Chu Qin?" Ye Zixi said, slightly startled.

"This Shi Tian Di was a Supreme God, a super powerful being. The words he left behind should not be spoken without reason. If we secretly kept these secret manuals, we might really meet our doom here!" Chu Qin said, "Let's return them to the Giant God Clan."

"I agree with what Chu Qin has said," Shenmu Elder replied, "Offending a Supreme God for this Secret Manual is simply not worth it! And as Shi Tian Di has also mentioned, returning the manual to the Giant God Clan might bring unexpected boons!"

"Hmm, I agree as well!" Ye Zi Xi followed, "We had already agreed before coming in that we would completely follow Chu Qin's lead on this expedition."

"I disagree!" Just then, a faint voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and they became more alert.

The next moment, over a hundred figures appeared before them. The two leading figures, one with short hair clad in Black Armor, looked very burly, while the other person, with hair cascading down his waist and wearing a black robe, looked skinny and skeletal!

"Elder Heishan of the Tiger Head and Elder Long Zhu of the Profound Head from the Akatsuki!" Upon seeing these two individuals, Elder Chi Jin exclaimed in shock, "You two, how are you here!"

"We ought to thank you all for leading the way!" Elder Long Zhu said with a faint smile.

"Despicable!" Ye Zi Xi said coldly.

Chu Qin's expression became slightly tense.

His Divine Sense had always been activated, so it was impossible for him not to have detected the presence of these people.

Unless...

After a pause, Chu Qin smiled lightly and said, "As the leader of the Akatsuki, why bother skulking around in hiding!"

Upon hearing this, Heishan, Long Zhu, Shenmu, and others were all startled.

"Worthy of being the one capable of breaking Shi Tian Di's Array," an aged voice tinged with a rasp rose the next moment. "Young man, you are quite extraordinary!" Another figure appeared in front of Heishan and the others.

This person was shrouded within a loose black robe, with even the face covered, or rather, he had no face at all!

"We welcome the Emperor!" All members of the Akatsuki, seeing the figure in the black robe, bowed in unison.

"So you are the one behind the Akatsuki!" Ye Zi Xi said, somewhat surprised, looking at the Emperor.

"Young man, who exactly are you, and how did you come to use Heaven Shifting?" The Emperor, paying no heed to Ye Zi Xi, asked Chu Qin, "And why can you, who is merely at the Late God King Stage, use a Supreme Divine Artifact?"

"That's none of your business!" Chu Qin replied with an unfazed smile, "I wondered why my senses couldn't detect you—it turns out you're a Demi-Emperor!"

Do not forget, Chu Qin, though strong, is currently relying on the power of four Supreme Divine Artifacts. His actual realm is still in the Late God King Stage, so it's very difficult for him to detect the aura of a true Demi-Emperor powerhouse.

Of course, Chu Qin did not intentionally use the True Dragon Eye, otherwise, he would have discovered them long ago.

"That's correct, as well as arrogant! But never mind, I have no need to know. Once I kill you, your Heaven Shifting Array, the Supreme Divine Artifact, as well as Shi Tian Di's treasures will all be mine!" The Emperor said with a light smile.

"You think you can?" Chu Qin replied steadily.

"Kill!" The Emperor did not waste further words, and with a light wave of his hand, all members of the Akatsuki attacked Gu Yuena and the others!

"Come forth, Skeleton Emperor Divine Dragon!" Chu Qin commanded, tossing out the Dragon Pearl, and the body of the Skeleton Emperor Divine Dragon appeared before everyone in an instant!

The Skeleton Emperor Divine Dragon let out a soft cry, and its terrifying energy forced all the Akatsuki's members back!

"What! The Skeleton Emperor Divine Dragon is a Demi-Emperor Beast!" Shenmu Elder exclaimed in shock.

"Shi Tian Di's Skeleton Emperor Divine Dragon, no wonder you could so easily kill those of Bai Jian Shan. What a coincidence, I have one as well!"

"Titan Demon Ape!" the Emperor declared, as his figure manifested a massive ape towering hundreds of meters tall with a body of dark gold color.

This giant ape had some resemblance to the Titan Ape, but it was far larger, and the Titan Demon Ape's body was covered with various sharp spines, as if made of steel.

"Another Demi-Emperor Beast!" Sensing the energy emitted by the magic ape, the gathered God Kings were astonished.

"Emperor, how do you have a Demi-Emperor Beast?" Heishan asked quietly.

"Don't worry about that!" Elder Long Zhu said coldly, "Focus on the treasure!"

"Young man, your biggest reliance has been dealt with. If you do not stop me, I can let you all leave safely," the Emperor said, "Oh, and I forgot to tell you, one day in this space is equivalent to seven days outside. Soon, the armies of the Wild God Battle Alliance and my Akatsuki will have launched their attack on the Nine Dragons Star!"
