Peerless God Emperor

In the Divine King Palace, many people were filled with anticipation and excitement. It was because this day had extraordinary meaning to the Divine King Palace, and it could be said to be a turning point of a milestone.    

After the ancient war ended, the Divine King Palace entered a state of seclusion, and no longer cared about the matters of the Divine World. As a result, many people had forgotten about the existence of the Divine King Palace, and even the connection between the Divine King Palace and the Heavenly Palace had been severed.    

And today, the Palace Lord of the 33 Heavenly Palaces would come to the Divine King Palace to participate in the 24th general selection. This indicated that the Divine King Palace was about to regain control of the Divine World's order, and it was also the first step for the Divine King Palace to truly step out of the state of seclusion.    

At this moment, many people were gathered outside the Divine King Palace. Other than the golden-armored guards, there were also many experts from the Four Great Divine Halls, including Empyrean Myriad Transformations and a few other deputy hall masters. The scene was extremely grand.    

Among the Four Great Divine Halls, only the Supreme Mystery Hall did not come.    

Many people were well aware of the reason for this. Ever since the Divine King had killed the Supreme Mystery Hall's deputy hall master, Empyrean Pill Sun, the relationship between the Supreme Mystery Hall and the Divine King had become extremely tense. Even when they were dispatching people to establish the Punishment Hall, they were very perfunctory, and it was purely for the sake of completing the mission.    

"Back then, when the 33 Heavenly Palaces came to the Divine King Palace to pay a visit, it was a grand occasion. After a million years, they are here again today. I wonder if they are still the same as back then." Empyrean Myriad Transformations' eyes were filled with a profound meaning, making it difficult for others to understand.    

As soon as he finished speaking, many people’s expressions froze. They understood the hidden meaning behind Empyrean Myriad Transformations’ words.    

The 33 Heavens Palace had been independent for many years, and it had no relations with the Divine King Palace. Now that the Divine King had summoned them to participate in the 24 Generals’ selection, it was likely that not everyone was willing to obey the orders. After all, once they became a general, they would have to listen to the Divine King’s orders, and they would no longer be as free as before.    

Of course, the benefits of becoming a general were obvious.    

Apart from the four great Emissaries, the 24 Generals were the Divine King’s closest people, and their statuses in the Divine King Palace and even the entire Divine World were extremely high. No matter where they went, they would receive the highest level of treatment, and no one or force dared to show the slightest neglect or contempt.    

If it was in the past, if they had the chance to become a general, everyone would do their best to fight for it, because a general had a very high chance of obtaining the Divine King’s guidance, and they might even receive the Divine King’s help in cultivating. This was actually much more precious than many heaven-defying opportunities.    

After all, the Divine King was the most powerful person in the world. A single guidance from him might be more valuable than millions of years of cultivation.    

However… the current situation was somewhat different.    

The current Divine King was a junior who had just stepped into the Heavenly Venerate. Although he had extraordinary talent and boundless potential, it was impossible for him to provide cultivation assistance to a general in a short period of time, and he would have to rely on the support of a general.    

In other words, the Godly Monarch was building up his own trusted subordinates to strengthen his rule over the Divine Palace. To the other Palace Lords, they would not be able to obtain any substantial benefits, but they had to serve the Godly Monarch. The rewards and the price were not equal.    

Under such circumstances, they were probably not too happy.    

"This is the first order the Godly Monarch has given to the Divine Palace. If they dare to have any disloyalty, they will definitely suffer the corresponding consequences. I think they don't have the guts to do so." A black-robed elder at the side said indifferently. He was the Vice Hall Master of the Divine Martial Hall, Heavenly Venerate Li Yang.    

Heavenly Venerate Myriad Incarnations nodded slightly. He couldn't help but recall the shocking battle that happened in the Divine Palace that day. Thinking about it now, he still felt a lingering fear in his heart.    

Although Qin Xuan was only a junior, and had only cultivated for a few decades, he was extremely ruthless and decisive. If he didn't make a move, it would be fine, but if he did, he would kill a Genesis Realm expert. Just this matter alone was enough to show how powerful he was.    

If anyone among the other Palace Lords disobeyed his will, they would end up the same as Heavenly Venerate Pill Sun.    

At this moment, Heavenly Venerate Myriad Incarnation, Heavenly Venerate Li Yang, and the others seemed to have sensed something. Their gazes looked towards the void at the same time. They saw a dazzling light being released from the void, radiating out to the surrounding void.    

In the next moment, the light dissipated, and several figures appeared in the void. They were all middle-aged men, and they didn't have the slightest aura on them. However, they exuded an extraordinary aura. At first glance, it was obvious that they were people who had occupied a high position for a long time.    

These figures looked at Empyrean Myriad Transformations and the others, and their faces all revealed friendly smiles. One of them said in a clear voice, "Everyone's Deputy Hall Masters personally came out to welcome us, and it really makes us feel flattered."    

"Everyone has not come to the Divine King Palace for many years, and it's not easy for us to come here once. It's only right to come out and welcome you." Empyrean Myriad Transformations said with a smile, and his face carried a kind smile, without the slightest arrogance of a Deputy Hall Master.    

Empyrean Myriad Transformations' behavior was naturally not because he was really kind, but because these people in front of him had the qualifications to treat him as an equal.    

Although the Heavenly Palace was nominally a subordinate force of the Divine King Palace, this did not mean that the identity of the Palace Lord of the Heavenly Palace was very low. One had to know that every single Palace Lord of the Heavenly Palace was a figure at the Primitive Realm. If they were in the Divine King Palace, this level of cultivation was enough to serve as a Deputy Hall Master of the Divine Hall.    

Other than that, there was another important reason.    

These Palace Lords were here to participate in the War General Selection this time. Perhaps some of them would become war generals and follow the Divine King in the future. If they were on good terms with them, they might be able to speak up for them in front of the Divine King in the future.    

Taking a step back, even if they did not become war generals in the future, they could still return and continue to be Palace Lords of the Heavenly Palace. They had many resources in their hands that they could use for them.    

Not only did Empyrean Myriad Transformations have such thoughts, Empyrean Blazing Sun and the others also thought the same. The Divine King Palace was about to be born, so they naturally had to make some preparations for the future and accumulate connections for themselves.    

The few Palace Lords of the Heavenly Palace had lived for countless years, so how could they not understand what the Myriad Incarnations Heavenly Sovereign was thinking? However, they did not expose it. Firstly, it was not beneficial to them, and secondly, they hoped to have their own connections in the Divine King Palace. This way, they would be able to obtain the news from the Divine King Palace as soon as possible.    

"The selection has not yet begun. I have already set up a banquet in the Stellar Hall. Why don't we take a walk around the Stellar Hall and have a drink?" The Myriad Incarnations Heavenly Lord invited the other Palace Lords with a sincere and friendly expression.    

As soon as the Myriad Incarnations Heavenly Lord finished speaking, the expressions of Heavenly Sovereign Li Yang and the others immediately darkened. They cursed in their hearts for being shameless. However, Heavenly Sovereign Li Yang soon smiled and said, "The Palace Lords have not been to the Divine King Palace for a long time. I believe that you are already somewhat unfamiliar with the Divine King Palace. Why don't I take you around? There are a lot of sceneries that are worth looking at."    

"After the banquet ends, I will naturally bring them to enjoy the scenery. You don't have to worry about it." The Myriad Incarnations Heaven Sovereign looked at Heavenly Sovereign Li Yang and smiled. "Before coming, Hall Master had personally instructed me to properly receive the Palace Lords. I definitely cannot lose the face of the Stellar Hall. Don't argue with me about this!"    

The corner of Heavenly Sovereign Li Yang's mouth twitched. This old thing actually brought up the Hall Master of the Stellar Hall to suppress him. How could he not have any dignity?    

The Myriad Incarnations Heavenly Lord's expression was calm. He did not think that what he said was inappropriate.    

The Stellar Hall was in charge of all matters in the Divine King Palace, including receiving guests. As the deputy hall master of the Stellar Hall, he was naturally more suitable than the deputy hall master of the Divine Martial Hall, Heavenly Venerate Li Yang.    

Seeing this scene, the complexions of the Palace Lords all seemed to be intrigued. Could they even fight over this?    

Just as Heavenly Venerate Li Yang was about to continue speaking, a voice came from afar.    

"Pass down the order of the Venerable Envoy. The Palace Lord of the Heavenly Palace has arrived and is awaiting orders from the Supreme Hall!"
