Chapter 707: A Major Killing Weapon
Gao Fei and He Hentian were feeling grumpy, while Dongfang Jian and Dugu Xiu were drinking and celebrating.
"Haha!" Dongfang Jian laughed heartily, "It's just so fantastic! I'm simply ecstatic! I said from the beginning that getting on good terms with Liu Yifei was absolutely the right move! And look how accurate my judgement was! It's just too accurate! My princess, aren't you so impressed right now, having such an awesome husband? It's such a blissful thing."
Dongfang Jian, having made a correct bet, started to show off.
"Look at how smug you are," Dugu Xiu pouted. "Just a mere prince has got you this excited, if you were to become the Human Emperor in the future, wouldn't you just go insane."
"Ah?" Dongfang Jian was startled, "What did you say? Me, become the Human Emperor? Are you kidding? How could I possibly become the Human Emperor!"
"Why couldn't you?"
"With Liu Yifei above me and He Hentian eying me like a tiger, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to become the Human Emperor."
"There's a saying, 'where there's a will, there's a way.' If you dare to dream and act on it, there's hope for success."
"I'm saying..."
"I'm asking you, do you want to be the Human Emperor? To control the entire Human Territory, and if someone displeases you, you could take them out with just one sentence."
"Any normal man would probably want to be the Human Emperor, but..."
"Since you want to become the Human Emperor, you have to work hard, enhance your cultivation, build your networks, and when the time is right, you could step forward and compete for the position."
"Things aren't as simple as you think..."
"Nor as complicated as you believe. As I always say: no matter the final outcome, you have to at least try. If you try, there is a possibility of success. If you don't, you'll never succeed."
"To really try..." Dongfang Jian said with a wry smile, "I'm feeling a bit nervous..."
"What's there to be nervous about? I'm not saying you should go for the Human Emperor right now," Dugu Xiu snorted. "You have plenty of time, take it slow, no rush. Right now, your most important task is to get rid of He Hentian. Once He Hentian is dead, there'll be no one left to compete with you for the position of Human Emperor."
"I also want to get rid of He Hentian, but the key issue is not knowing where to start."
"Take your time, you'll definitely find an opportunity. Perhaps we could try to break through from Liu Yifei. If Liu Yifei is willing to go against He Hentian, then things would be much simpler."
"How could that be possible? He Hentian is the Crown Prince, and Liu Yifei would definitely not go against him."
"In this world, there's no such thing as absolute! Right now, Liu Yifei takes good care of He Hentian, but what about later? Will things change? Besides, we can be the instigators, wreaking havoc on the relationship between Liu Yifei and He Hentian. I just don't believe that the two of us together can't defeat He Hentian," Dugu Xiu said with a cold laugh.
"Fine then, I'll listen to you," Dongfang Jian nodded. "I'll listen to everything you say! For a glorious future, I'll give it my all too! My goal... the position of Human Emperor!"
Dongfang Jian had always been an ambitious person who had fantasized about becoming the Human Emperor but had never spoken about it. Now that Dugu Xiu had brought it up, Dongfang Jian readily agreed, going with the flow. With the support of Dugu Xiu and a plan to take out He Hentian, followed by securing Liu Yifei's support, he would likely have a great chance of ascending to power.
...
Taiji Hall.
A tall man sat on the dragon throne, his brows slightly furrowed, deep in thought.
This man wore a yellow robe and a golden crown, exuding an inherent authority and an air that commanded respect. This man was Liu Yifei, who had just taken on the position of Human Emperor.
"Sigh..."
Liu Yifei slowly exhaled a breath of gloom, "Indeed, the ways of the world are unpredictable. I never imagined that one day I would become the Human Emperor, the ruler of the Human Race! What an amazing status this is!" Over the past few days, Liu Yifei had deeply tasted the flavor of power, to be precise, the flavor of supreme power.
When he held the position of Grand Steward, others respected him, but the degree of respect was not high!
Now that he had become the Human Emperor, everyone had to bow their heads in submission and heed his dispatches. When he said one, it was one, when he said two, it was two; no one dared to rebut, even if he was wrong, others would still loudly cheer!
This is the beauty of power!
What is power? Simply put, it is "the thing that controls the life and death of others." For men, especially for an ambitious man, power is nothing less than a second life. With power, a man's life can truly become splendid.
"Those old fogies who capitalized on their age have all been transferred, replaced by those who will listen. The common folk have also accepted me, and many royal relatives are starting to side with me... The situation is overwhelmingly favorable."
"It won't take long for me to completely control the Human Territory and truly make my word law."
"Come to think of it, being the Human Emperor isn't that difficult. As long as you maintain a good balance, you can watch the world with amusement and direct its affairs."
"Such a lovely piece of territory, attracting countless heroes to bow down, the saying fits perfectly!"
"From now on, I will manage the Human Territory in my own way, I want to make the Human Race even stronger! If the opportunity arises, I will lead the troops to attack the Demon Territory and Demon Territory, unify the three great territories, and make the Human Race the sole master of Elysium!"
Liu Yifei's ambition was not small at all, he actually harbored such aspirations! Impressive!
"Who's there!" Liu Yifei suddenly raised his head, "Who's lurking outside? Sneaking around like a ghost, come in here!"
"Bang!"
The doors of the great hall slowly opened, and a man stepped inside.
"The Demon Emperor!?" Liu Yifei suddenly stood up and glared at the man who walked in from outside. His tone was very stern, "What are you doing here! What did you do to the guards?" The Demon Emperor's brazen entrance, without being stopped by the guards outside, meant they had met with some misfortune.
"I knocked them unconscious, they aren't in any mortal danger," the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian said with a light smile.
"What are you here for!" Liu Yifei asked loudly.
"Why did Dugu Jingtian pass the throne to you? Where has he gone?" Xing Mietian asked.
"No comment."
"Really not saying?"
"Please leave immediately, you're not welcome here!"
"Hehe... even Dugu Jingtian wouldn't dare talk to me like this... You've got some nerve. Do you really think being the Human Emperor means you can act without any restraint? I'll tell you, there are many people in this world you can't afford to offend, and I'm one of them."
"You're not human, you are a demon! Despicable, shameless, and cunning demon!"
"Looking for death!" Who did Xing Mietian think he was? How could he tolerate Liu Yifei's insults? He floated forward and launched a swift attack on Liu Yifei. The Demon Race excelled in strength and speed; with great power and quickness, these abilities could be incredibly potent during a fight.
Liu Yifei was both shocked and furious; he hadn't expected Xing Mietian to dare to make a move, "Since you've come today, don't even think about leaving!" Liu Yifei set himself up and began to fight with Xing Mietian.
"Thinking of keeping me? Do you have the ability?" Xing Mietian snorted.
"Whether I have the ability, you'll find out soon enough." Liu Yifei took out a long stick from his Storage Bag, gripped it tight with both hands, and swung it at Xing Mietian. The stick, made of Mysterious Iron and weighing about thirty thousand catties, was an absolute deadly weapon.
