Chapter 360: Facing the Emperor, the High Priest (4000 words in -in-)

Liang Hui took a step forward, and everything around him slowly disappeared. The vast ocean and the throne standing between heaven and earth all disappeared.

The surroundings became increasingly darker and deeper. I didn't know how far I had walked before tiny dots of starlight began to emerge, and big stars hung in the sky.

The young man's gaze passed over one star after another and saw the old man sitting cross-legged in the starry sky.

The old man was wearing a dark imperial robe, with gray hair falling down, and he exuded a gentle and heavy aura.

Like flowing water, like the earth, peaceful and kind.

Liang Hui's eyes narrowed slightly, carefully examining the immortal-level creature. This was the first time he had seen one in his life.

Try your best to sense the difference between the emperor and the Dao fruit level.

At the same time, he stepped forward and came in front of the old man.

Only then did he see that the chessboard in front of the old man was covered with black and white pieces.

"You're here, sit down!" The old man looked kind and a benevolent smile appeared on his face.

It seemed that he was unaware that the young man had just humiliated his bloodline, but how could he not know? He just didn't care.

Liang Hui sat down as he was told and looked at the chessboard in front of him.

The old man looked at the young man quietly without making any noise to disturb him.

After a moment, he asked, "Did you see anything?"

Liang Hui raised his head, looked into the old man's eyes, and answered truthfully:

"It's a dead end game, with no hope of a comeback."

"Yeah, it's a dead end game. I can't win."

The old man sighed, as if hinting at something.

"Outsider, do you think we can win if we change the chess player?"

"That depends on whether the new chess player is willing to try his best."

"After all, when the game has reached this stage, it can't get any worse."

Liang Hui chuckled, not surprised that the old man knew his identity as an outsider.

The moment the young man's words came out, a gleam of light flashed across the old man's eyes and a wisp of aura dissipated.

Rumble!
Like the sky collapsing and the earth falling over, an indescribable horrifying aura filled the space.

The starry sky shook, and even the Temple of Human Ancestors swayed with it, and this energy was transmitted to the entire world at an extremely fast speed.

Call ~
The old man exhaled a breath of turbid air and restrained the scattered energy.

With his intelligence, he could certainly hear the young man's underlying meaning.

If you try your best, you might win!

Of course he wouldn't believe it easily, but this was also a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of life!
However, there was no rush to ask about this matter, and the old man changed the subject.

"Liang Hui, what is your purpose in coming to this world?"

“Seek the truth!”

"Seek the way forward, seek the way of the emperor." Liang Hui placed his palms flat on his knees and spoke directly.

"Emperor Cheng?" the old man murmured.

He paused, narrowed his eyes, concealed his emotions, and narrated word by word: "I can tell you how to become an emperor now."

Liang Hui stood straight, pretending to listen.

The old man spoke directly without making any requests.

"When the Dao Fruit is produced in the Sky Realm, one can enter the realm of the King. The King needs to constantly comprehend the relevant Dao principles and continue to perfect the Dao Fruit until there is no more room for improvement. Then, one can prepare to become an Emperor."

“It can be said that the realm of the king is the journey of constantly polishing and perfecting the fruit of the Tao.”

"When the Dao Fruit is complete, you will leap to the extreme state in the dead silence, allowing the Dao Fruit to leap out of reality and completely enter the long river of the Dao. From then on, you will no longer have to worry about the length of your life. If there are no external enemies, you will be immortal."

"But this step is extremely dangerous. If you succeed, you will live. If you fail, you will die. There is no third possibility."

Afterwards, the old man imparted a lot of experience, skills, and things that need to be paid attention to when practicing.

There was no reservation throughout the process.

Liang Hui looked serious and listened carefully to every word the old man said.

for a long time.

The sound gradually stopped, and the old man stretched out his hand, and a cup of steaming tea emerged.

He picked it up, took a sip, and then spoke:
"You should still be very young."

Liang Hui nodded, and a cup of tea appeared in his palm. He lowered his head and began to drink.

“It is true. Flesh and blood, soul can be disguised, but the heart cannot be disguised.” The old man exclaimed.

"In that case, I suggest you break through later, try to produce three Dao fruits, and then break through together at the end."

"This has unexpected benefits, and the road ahead will be smoother."

"Three Dao fruits?" Liang Hui frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"The emperor can drop up to three Dao fruits into the long river of the Dao."

"Three Dao Fruits are the limit of the True Spirit, and also contain the meaning of one becoming two, two becoming three, and three becoming infinity."

"Unfortunately, throughout history, the only one who succeeded was the first emperor of the human race. His combat power was incomparably strong, and he led the human race to drive away the other races."

The old man drank the tea in his palm and explained.

Liang Hui gathered his chaotic thoughts, stood up, and performed the etiquette of a junior.

The other party may not say these words, but if they do, you need to thank them.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I have benefited a lot from this conversation."

"It's just some common sense. Just don't think I'm being too long-winded." The old man waved his hand.

Then he placed the teacup on the chessboard and looked at the young man hopefully.

Liang Hui lowered his eyes, looking at the deadlock on the chessboard, his palm dropped to Tianyuan.

"I can't win this game of chess."

"But what kind of chess should I play?!"

Suddenly, exert force.

Click!Click!
Cracks appeared on the chessboard and then it tore apart.

Chess pieces and fragments, flying everywhere.

There was nothing between the two of them, no longer any obstacles.

The old man's pupils shrank slightly and he looked forward.

Liang Hui withdrew his hand and looked forward. His gaze passed through the Temple of Human Ancestors and saw the vast mountains and rivers and all living beings.

The young man's tone was inexplicable, with a hint of cruelty.

"The human race has always been invincible. Senior, what are you worried about?"

Without waiting for the old man to ask, the young man spoke again:
"As the overlord of the Central Realm for tens of millions of years, doesn't he have any means left to drag the world down with him?"

"If not, it's not too late to start now."

Liang Hui narrowed his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth, which was cold and chilly.

"In this round, the human race will either draw or win. There is no other outcome."

"Among many kings, those who can find the way to failure are also rare talents."

The old man's brows were tightly knitted together, and his cloudy eyes stared at the young man intently.

After a moment, he slowly answered.

“This is a path that can be taken.”

If the central world collapses, most of the surrounding worlds will be destroyed even if they are protected by emperors.

"But this is just a draw, how can we win?"

"Find a large clan and destroy it with the force of thunder, so as to shock the other clans and buy time for development." Liang Hui stood with his hands behind his back, his robe fluttering in the wind.

Then, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "Of course, the so-called development is not based on the current model of the human race."

"If it continues to develop like this for tens of millions of years, it will not only not become stronger, but will become weaker."

Hearing this, a hint of bitterness flashed across the old man's face.

As the young man said, it has been 90 million years since the human race took advantage of the fact that the hundreds of races were attacking each other and were severely weakened to drive them away.

The human race was getting weaker and weaker, from the coexistence of five emperors to the current situation where he was the only one left to support them. Of course, this was due to the constant invasion of alien races, but there was definitely something wrong with the human race itself.

For a moment, the starry sky fell into silence, with only two confronting figures.

"Ugh!"

The old man sighed, his expression showing reluctance.

If we act according to the young man's intention, the entire human race will be cleansed, and there will be a sea of ​​blood and corpses everywhere.

However, that trace of reluctance eventually turned into determination, and he looked at Liang Hui with anticipation in his eyes.

"I will be in seclusion. You can take charge of the tribe during this time."

"With what identity do you host this?" Although Liang Hui doesn't care about identity, but if he wants to unite the human race and achieve development as quickly as possible, identity is a must.

We can't just kill our way through, that would be too time-consuming.

"High priest, your status is equal to that of the emperor." The old man stretched out his hand and handed over a purple jade seal.

Liang Hui stretched out his hand, and the moment it touched the jade seal, he felt a connection between himself and the central world.

This connection is so close that it seems as if one can feel the pulse of the world.

Every bit of fighting spirit in the body is several times more powerful.

"This is the High Priest's Jade Seal, which is made from the origin of the world. When you fight in the world, your strength will be increased several times."

Liang Hui played with the purple jade seal in his palm, his eyes deep: "Senior, you trust me too much."

"Hey, there is no other choice but to do it. I just can't bring myself to do it." The old man waved his hand and handed over another imperial decree.

"This imperial decree contains part of my power. Please use it to protect yourself."

"Okay." Liang Hui took the emperor's edict, felt the vast power contained in it, and nodded his forehead lightly.

His expression became serious, and he made a promise: "I will not let down the human race!"

As an emperor, he has given me insights into the realm of immortality and directly entrusted the entire human race to me. With such trust and love, I should have made the promise.

"I believe you, Liang Hui."

The old man whispered.

Over the past month, I have already figured out the other person's personality.

Although he is extremely domineering, he is clear about gratitude and resentment!
The old man's figure slowly faded away, and only the young man was left in the starry sky.

Liang Hui, holding the purple jade seal with his palm facing upward, walked step by step towards the outer edge of the stone hall.

On the cracked riverbed, three disheveled figures were trying their best to recover from their injuries.

But whether it was Fu Xiao or the other two kings, the wounds on their bodies could never heal.

Any means, as long as they get close to the wound, will be crushed into pieces by the unparalleled fist force.

The kings sitting on the throne also offered help from time to time.

Time passes minute by minute.

While helping the emperor's bloodline recover from its injuries, everyone looked towards the depths of the stone hall.

Suddenly, all the kings trembled slightly.

They heard a sound.

tower! tower! tower!
A slender figure walked along the riverbed.

With the arrival of Liang Hui.

The kings stared at the purple jade seal held by the young man. Even Fu Xiao stopped recovering from his injuries and turned his gaze over.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"

"How can the high priest's jade seal be given to a wild cultivator of unknown identity? I don't believe it." Fu Xiao murmured, his whole body tense. The wounds on his body burst again, and blood flowed down.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Liang Hui walked step by step to the front of the crowd.

Ah!
A chuckle.

The jade seal in the palm emitted a faint purple light.

The vast ocean and the throne that supported the sky all disappeared.

The world turned into an indescribably vast palace, with bluestone paving the floor and coiled dragon pillars supporting the palace.

Liang Hui was wearing a blue robe and sitting on the throne, looking down at the kings below the steps.

"From now on, I will be the high priest of the human race."

"In the long years ahead, I will be in charge of the operations of the human race."

At the foot of the stairs, each of the kings looked shocked.

Although they had guessed something the moment they saw the jade seal in the young man's hand, they still found it difficult to suppress the shock in their hearts when the news was confirmed.

The position of high priest has always been held by only those at the emperor level, but now a young man who is not even a king has taken the position.

Why did Emperor Fu Xuan make such a decision?

Liang Hui placed the jade seal on the armrest, glanced at the kings, and tapped the jade seal lightly with his fingertips.

Boom!
The clear sound of jade chimes was heard, and the kings came back to their senses one by one.

"From today on, all ties with the hundreds of races will be severed. There cannot be a single living alien on the human continent."

"Fu Xiao, Zixuan, Binghui, and Shitian, the four of you will go to the battlefield outside the boundary, and you are not allowed to return without orders."

Liang Hui grinned and glanced at the four disobedient people with a hint of anticipation.

"Come, accept the order, the four of you."

"Respect, the high priest's order!"

"Respect, the high priest's order!" x3
Four low shouts were heard, and four figures knelt down at the foot of the stairs.

Even Fu Xiao, who had the deepest resentment, was no exception.

Liang Hui holding the imperial seal represents the emperor's majesty, and no one can disobey the emperor.

After the four people responded, Liang Hui felt a little disappointed and waved his hand to signal them to leave.

After that, he started issuing instructions one after another.

"Cancel the division of hunting grounds and prohibit large tribes from bullying small tribes"

“Establish a school and spread the practice of cultivation”

"Except for a small number of garrisons, the kings will go to the battlefield outside the boundary in batches."

Fu Xiao listened to the orders coming from the stone hall, with resentment and more unwillingness in his eyes.

The human race's thousands and tens of thousands of years of planning were ruined by a young generation!
"How could this be? How could this be?" The middle-aged man in the tattered armor had a look of loss on his face.

After walking a few steps, he would stop and look back.

Bing Hui, a woman, jumped up and headed towards the battlefield outside the world, never looking back.

For a moment, Fu Xiao and three others were the only ones left on the earth.

"Your Highness, should we inform that person to reduce the casualties of the alien race and try to repair the damage caused by Liang Hui?"

"No! Don't notify."

"He is not very confident and thinks we are cowards. Let us see how far he can go."

Fu Xiao's voice was hoarse, and he dragged his seriously injured body away.

The two kings behind him looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes and quickly followed.

Liang Hui, who was issuing orders in the palace, tilted his head slightly and glanced in the direction the three people left.

He then presided over the negotiations again.

Every time he issues an order, there will inevitably be a large number of people whose interests will be harmed, but he doesn't care.

No matter who it is, no matter how strong or weak, no matter whether their bloodline is noble or humble, as long as they dare to disobey or confront openly, they will be
kill! !
Use absolute force to crush all those who disobey and kill all those who disobey.

He had made all the preparations since he took over the imperial seal.

The kings below the stairs listened in a daze as they received one instruction after another. Under normal circumstances, these instructions would have taken hundreds or even thousands of years to change.

But at this moment, the high priest wanted these instructions to be executed within one month.

At this moment, even these kings felt a chill.

They seemed to see corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowing like a sea.
