Peerless God Emperor

At the very front of the hall sat two old men with sage-like demeanors: the Empyrean of Creation and the Empyrean of Supreme Heaven. In front of them were the Palace Lords of the 33 Heavens. Not a single one of them was absent, and they were all gathered here.    

Looking at the two great figures in front of him, the Palace Lords were all rather uneasy. The appearance of the Empyrean of Creation and Empyrean of Supreme Heaven naturally meant that they understood what this meant.    

The two pinnacle existences had joined the Divine King Palace.    

They were both people who lived in a carefree and unworldly way. They had not joined the Divine King Palace during the most prosperous era of the Divine King Palace. Now that the Divine King Palace was no longer as glorious as it was in the past, they had joined it. Their intentions were self-evident. They must have wanted to help the Divine King Palace regain control of the Divine Realm.    

Besides, there was probably another deeper meaning.    

They were supporting the new king to ascend the throne.    

The new king's cultivation was only at the Empyrean level, and his prestige was far from enough to make the forces of the Divine Realm submit. However, now that the Empyrean of Creation and the Supreme Empyrean had joined the Divine King Palace, and with the support of the Vajra Buddha, the Empyrean of Supreme Heaven, the Demon God Palace Lord, and other peak experts, the power he possessed was immeasurable.    

If anyone dared to disobey his will, they would have to carefully consider whether or not they could withstand the fury of the various experts.    

Many Palace Lords' eyes flashed with a profound meaning. At first, they had suspected that Qin Xuan might not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Divine King. But looking at the current situation, there should be no one who could shake his position.    

He would lead the new era of the Divine Realm.    

However, they did not know what the future of the Divine Realm would be like under his guidance. Would it recover the glory of the ancient era, or would it be in a worse situation than it was now?    

However, this was not something they should worry about. Even though they were all Palace Lords of a Heavenly Palace, they still did not have the right to influence the direction of the Divine Realm. Only those who stood at the peak could do so.    

"The last time I saw you was a million years ago. At that time, the Divine Realm was peaceful and incomparably powerful. However, everything changed after the invasion of the evil race from outside the Divine Realm."    

The Empyrean of Creation stared at the Palace Lords and continued, "The invasion of the evil race and the rebellion of Kṣitigarbha caused the Divine Realm to suffer an unbearable loss. Even today, it has not recovered its vitality."    

"Not long ago, Kṣitigarbha descended upon the Divine Realm once again. Although there was no real war, you must have seen the power that Kṣitigarbha possesses now. If a war really breaks out, the Divine Realm's chances of winning are not very high. The best result is a pyrrhic victory."    

"If the evil race takes the opportunity to invade, the Divine Realm will be powerless to resist. It will be difficult to predict what the Divine Realm will become in the end."    

After hearing the Empyrean of Creation's words, the Palace Lords' expressions darkened, and their mood became much heavier.    

They naturally understood that the Divine Realm was currently facing both internal and external problems. It could face a catastrophe at any time. Even though they were already experts who had stepped into the Primitive Realm, they did not dare say that they could protect themselves from the catastrophe.    

"In order to resolve the predicament of the Divine World, there is only one way, and that is to gather the power of the 33 Heavens and create a new atmosphere for the Divine World."    

"A new atmosphere!"    

The hearts of the Palace Lords all trembled. What was a new atmosphere?    

A new king?    

"The Divine King Palace has already been in seclusion for a million years. In these million years, the Divine World has no leader. Although the Heavenly Palace is nominally an enforcer, its actual power has been weakened by a lot. I believe everyone here has experienced this." Empyrean Creation spoke again.    

Many Palace Lords deeply agreed. In the ancient era, no power dared to be disrespectful to the Heavenly Palace. Now, many powers were only polite to the Heavenly Palace on the surface, but they did not care about the attitude of the Heavenly Palace in the dark. Those powerful powers were even more arrogant and did not put the Heavenly Palace in their eyes at all.    

"Now that the new king has ascended the throne, the Divine King Palace will regain control of the Divine World. At that time, the status of the Heavenly Palace will be restored to its former height."    

As Empyrean Creation finished speaking, a ray of light flashed across the eyes of the Palace Lords. If they could really recover their former status, the Divine World would indeed be in a different atmosphere.    

However, this was not an easy matter. There would definitely be many hidden and overt obstacles. Those powerful forces were already used to being free, so how could they be willing to be restrained by the Divine King Palace?    

As if he knew what everyone was thinking, Empyrean Creation continued to speak, "In the ancient battle, the Divine King Palace suffered a great loss. Now, we are in urgent need of strengthening our strength. Today, I summoned all of you here to select new twenty-four generals."    

The eyes of the Palace Lords narrowed. They had said so much just now to let them join the Divine King Palace.    

Although they were very respectful to Empyrean Creation, this matter concerned their personal interests. It might even affect their fates in the future. They would definitely not easily make a decision.    

"Senior, may I ask how you plan to select the generals?" One of the Palace Lords asked directly. This was also a question that many Palace Lords were concerned about.    

Empyrean Creation smiled faintly and said, "This is not something that I decide. When the Divine King arrives, he will personally preside over the selection."    

The expressions of the Palace Lords changed slightly. They thought that Empyrean Creation and the Grand Heavenly Empyrean would be in charge of this selection. They did not expect that the decision was in the hands of the Divine King. Didn't this mean that they would have to compete with a junior?    

Many people frowned. To compete with a junior was a very embarrassing thing. If they lost, they would undoubtedly lose all their face.    

But even if they were unwilling, they could not say anything. After all, the other party was the Divine King. It was normal for them to compete, so they could only endure it.    

"I'm sorry for making everyone wait."    

At this moment, a clear and refreshing voice came from outside the hall. The Palace Lords' expressions immediately froze, and then they turned around to look behind them. They saw two figures stepping into the hall. It was Qin Xuan and Fen Old Master.    

At this moment, Empyrean Creation and the Grand Heaven Empyrean stood up. After seeing their actions, the Palace Lords also stood up to greet them. They cupped their hands towards Qin Xuan and said, "Greetings, Divine King."    

Qin Xuan's gaze swept across the Palace Lords in front of him, and a gentle smile appeared on his face as he said, "Everyone, there is no need to be so polite. Please sit down."    

After saying that, Qin Xuan walked forward. Fen Old Master followed behind him. This scene caused the hearts of the Palace Lords to be unable to help but be stirred up.    

The Burning Heaven Envoy, who was famous in the Divine World back then, was actually willing to stand behind a Heavenly Venerate junior. Just how much charm did he have?    

"Thank you, Seniors." Qin Xuan smiled at Empyrean Creation and Empyrean Grand Heaven.    

Empyrean Creation waved his hand and said with a faint smile, "You can announce the rules of the selection."    

Their mission was to help Qin Xuan intimidate these Palace Lords. As for the rules of the selection, they would be personally set by Qin Xuan. After all, the Battle Saint was his trusted aide, and the person chosen must be acknowledged by him.    

Qin Xuan nodded, and his gaze once again looked at the Palace Lords in front of him. With a dignified expression, he said, "This selection is not only to strengthen the strength of the Divine King Palace, but also to give everyone a chance. Whether you want to go or stay, it is up to you."    

"Those who are willing to join the Divine King Palace, stay behind and participate in the selection. Those who are unwilling can leave now. I will not pursue this matter."
