Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 671

Chapter 669 What I hate most is lies and betrayal

Lord Ganhuang was momentarily dazed. The First Emperor stood before him in the universe, yet he felt as if he sat on the throne, reigning supreme over all the heavens and realms.

Arrogance and arrogance—this wasn’t the first time Lord Ganhuang had encountered such arrogance.

Even the strongest of the Eight Desolations, the Immortal Baoyi, wasn’t so arrogant, for Baoyi knew he wasn’t the strongest, and that the Immortal Realm still held the power over the Eight Desolations.

This First Emperor seemed to believe he was invincible, unaware that there was an Immortal Realm above all the heavens and realms, and unaware that his boasted strength was ridiculous in the face of that Immortal Realm.

Lord Ganhuang had seen this kind of person many times, relying on their status as the strongest in their own world to act tyrannically and disdainfully.

How strong could the strongest be? They were simply at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, just like him.

“Fellow Daoist First Emperor…”

The First Emperor narrowed his eyes and, with a single thought, Lord Ganhuang was crushed by an invisible force, his bones creaking.

“What qualifications do you have to discuss friendship with me?”

Lord Ganhuang was horrified. The other party easily suppressed him. He must be at least in the late stage of Earthly Immortal.

In today’s environment, having such power is definitely a problem!

The Eight Desolate people were all shocked and took out their long-prepared weapons, guarding against the First Emperor.

Originally, they thought that there was only one person on the other side and they could easily defeat him. But now, it seems that with the strength shown by the other party, it is hard to say which side is the prey.

They cannot fight with force, but must take their time.

“Your Majesty…” Lord Ganhuang bowed his head in submission.

The First Emperor turned his gaze to the group of cultivators behind Lord Ganhuang.

The group of cultivators felt like they were being watched by the overlord who ruled over all the worlds. If they did not submit, they would die.

“Your Majesty.”

Although they were reluctant, they had to submit under the pressure of the First Emperor.

The First Emperor’s expression eased a little.

“I have heard of the Eight Desolations. While not as powerful as the Nine Provinces, it’s still quite formidable compared to the myriad realms.”

“I offer you one chance. Submit to me, and pay tribute to my Immortal Dynasty once every ten years. I will protect the Eight Desolations from invasion by the Immortal Realm.” Lord Ganhuang

thought to himself, with such a grand tone.

“I wonder what your Majesty means by ‘invasion by the Immortal Realm’…” Lord Ganhuang feigned ignorance.

“The Immortal Realm wishes to destroy all realms, including the Eight Desolations. As the Lord of the Nine Provinces, and the future Lord of all realms, I naturally will not allow the Immortal Realm to do such a thing,” the First Emperor said calmly, his ambition evident.

“How could such a thing be possible?” Lord Ganhuang was horrified.

He hesitated, then said, “Your Majesty, the matter of the Eight Desolations’ submission is of grave importance, beyond our power to decide. Could you please grant us some time to discuss it?”

“My patience is limited.”

“Ten days at most. There will definitely be a result within ten days,” Lord Ganhuang promised solemnly.

“Five days.”

“Seven days.” Lord Ganhuang tried to buy time as long as possible.

“I’m not negotiating with you,”

he said, startled, quickly changing his tone. “Within five days, we in the Eight Desolations will definitely give you a result.”

“Go.” The First Emperor turned and left.

Gazing at the First Emperor’s back, Lord Ganhuang felt the urge to launch a surprise attack with his immortal weapon, but was forced to suppress it.

It would be better to ask the Yin-Yang Immortals and the Supreme Immortal Baoyi to decide how to deal with the Nine Provinces.

“This is hitting a wall,” Lord Ganhuang muttered. The Eight Desolations had roamed the heavens and the myriad realms, but this was the first time they had encountered a being more domineering than them.

…

“Your Majesty, may I ask what caused the spatial vibration?” Commander Liu asked, seeing the First Emperor’s quick return.

“It’s simply the Eight Desolations world’s inattention, and they’ve bumped into the Nine Provinces. I’ve explained the stakes to them and given them a chance to submit. Give me an answer in five days.”

Commander Liu was slightly surprised to find it was the Eight Desolations world, but he didn’t take it too seriously.

With the First Emperor around, the Eight Desolations world couldn’t cause any trouble.

“What if the Eight Desolations refuse to submit?” Commander Liu doubted the First Emperor would let them go.

After unifying the Nine Provinces and establishing the Immortal Dynasty, the First Emperor had set his sights on the myriad realms. Now that the Eight Desolations had been offered to him, their departure wouldn’t be easy.

“I’ve done my utmost to show my benevolence and justice. If they refuse to submit, I’ll kill them until they do.”

The First Emperor said this without even raising his eyelids.

“After this incident, I have an idea. Commander Liu, please give me some advice and see if it’s feasible.”

“Several worlds have already submitted to Jiuzhou, but the Brahma Tower has been shattered. After being re-refined, it’s less powerful than before, making it impossible to establish a spatial channel.”

“Jiuzhou’s connection with other worlds relies solely on the teleportation array developed by Lord Bai Aiqing. This is inefficient, and the different speeds of time between worlds delay things too much.”

“In that case, why not let Jiuzhou actively collide with other worlds? That way, one day, all the heavens and worlds will fall under my control.”

Commander Liu hesitated, then said, “Your Majesty, this idea is excellent, but I’m worried that the spatial tremors caused by the world collision will be a disaster for other worlds.” The

First Emperor waved his hand, “That’s fine. I can calm the spatial tremors, and there will be no danger.”

“I was inconsiderate.”

…

Five days later, the First Emperor opened his eyes.

Soon, a guard reported, “Your Majesty, the Lord of the Eight Desolations World requests an audience.”

“Let him in.”

“Your Majesty.” The Lord of the Desolations came alone to see the First Emperor.

“Please stand.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. After discussion, we hope that the Eight Wastelands can be protected by the Nine Provinces. The Eight Wastelands are willing to submit to you, and everyone in the Eight Wastelands is willing to do so.”

“The Eight Wastelands are ready to welcome Your Majesty’s inspection.”

“Your Majesty, I am incompetent. Please proceed to the Eight Wastelands.”

The First Emperor stood up and uttered a single word: “Yes.”

The other seven Wasteland Lords were waiting for the First Emperor at the junction of the Nine Provinces and the Eight Wastelands. Together, the eight Wasteland Lords invited the First Emperor to the Hall of the Thousand Wasteland

Lords. The Hall of the Thousand Wasteland Lords had been thoroughly cleaned, and the atmosphere was warm, as if the essence of the Eight Wastelands had been gathered there for the First Emperor’s inspection. A

dazzling array of natural treasures, immortal techniques, and magical stones were on display.

All the Fusion Stage cultivators arrived at the Hall of the Thousand Wasteland Lords and greeted the First Emperor with smiles, declaring it a great honor to be a vassal of the Nine Provinces.

“Your Majesty, please take a seat.”

The Eight Wastelands summoned skilled craftsmen to craft a throne for the First Emperor and respectfully welcomed him.

The Thousand Wasteland Lords also presented a memorial, which recorded the number of cultivators in the Eight Wastelands: eight at the Tribulation Stage, 108 at the Fusion Stage, and tens of thousands at the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

The eight Wasteland Lords and the hundred Fusion Stage cultivators sat below, while palace maids sang and danced, and the aroma of wine filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere.

“Come, let us toast Your Majesty.” Lord Ganhuang presided, inviting everyone to raise their glasses.

The First Emperor didn’t rush to drink, but instead asked,

“My dear Lord Gan, you wrote in your memorial that the strongest beings in the Eight Desolations are you eight people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. So, where did the immortals hiding behind me come from?”

“And why was the formation beneath my feet set up?”

The First Emperor spoke with a faint smile.

Lord Ganhuang’s smile froze; he hadn’t expected the truth to be exposed so quickly.

He reasoned that this was done so covertly that the other party shouldn’t have noticed.

Unless their spiritual awareness was exceptionally powerful.

A snap—

a wine glass fell to the ground.

Lord Ganhuang acted decisively, smashing his glass as a signal, his face fierce: “Go!”

With the clanking of chains, several shackles made of immortal gold appeared from the throne, imprisoning the First Emperor.

Simultaneously, several immortals released their auras to suppress the First Emperor.

Among them were three celestial immortals!

For a moment, the thousand Wasteland Lords were filled with murderous intent, targeting only the First Emperor!

The First Emperor ignored all these threats. He stared at the thousands of Wasteland Lords and said calmly,

“What I hate most is lies and betrayal.”

“And you, the Eight Wastelands, have committed all of them.”
