They had initially thought that Meng Lei was merely just ascending the throne. Even if he became emperor, all he would do was just continue the same Dragon God Empire traditions. At best... He might abolish the Four-Classes Stratification System! But never would they have ever imagined that...
Meng Lei’s ambition would be far beyond that. Not only was he going to be emperor, but he was also going to lead the humans in an emergence and even destroy the other three great empires’ foundations.
“Kill him! I have to kill that guy! If he lives, the Beast People Empire might even have to face the threat of destruction, let alone invade the south!”
Murderous intent filled the livid Beast Emperor’s eyes.
“Lord Horace, you must kill that renegade no matter what! If he is not vanquished, the Titan Empire will never see days of peace again! In fact, we might even end up like the Dragon God Empire!”
The Thunder Titan Emperor, who could sense a huge crisis impending, gnashed his teeth.
“What exactly is Her Holiness thinking? She actually wants us to protect someone like him?”
The Fairy Empress was rather unhappy with the Fairy Goddess’ holy decree. Even though the Fairies were peace-loving and close to nature, there was actually no lack of human slaves within their borders.
After a long passage of time, the Fairy Empire had actually also become just like the Dragon God Empire and the Titan Empire and had formed an enormous and complex racial system in the empire.
Fairies, half-Fairies...
Dozens, even up to a hundred, human slaves could be found in the territory of even a half-Fairy noble of the lowest class. The human slaves tended their fields, planted crops, picked fruits, mined, and constructed bows and arrows for them...
One could say that the Fairies’ refined demeanor, elegance, tranquility, and beauty were all built on top of the human slaves’ hard labor. Without their laboring, how could the Fairies possibly afford their elegance?
It wasn’t as if Fairies were machines that neither ate nor drank—they also ate grains just like everyone else.
In any case, to sum it up, the Fairy Empire had just as many human slaves as the other empires.
Should things really go according to what Meng Lei had said,, the Fairy Empire would end up facing an unprecedented trial.
“Should I save him or not?”
The Fairy Empress was troubled. For the first time, she had developed doubts about the Fairy Goddess’ holy decree.
Meng Lei gazed at the sky. As he overlooked the mountains, the rivers, and the lands, he made an awe-inspiring and grand declaration.
“I declare... the official establishment of the very first empire in human history!”
“The empire is established! The humans shall rise!”
“The empire is established! The humans shall rise!”
“The empire is established! The humans shall rise!”
All the humans present broke into thunderous cheers and shouts, every one of their expressions stimulated and every one of their voices hoarse from shouting. Their eyes were red as their blood boiled with passion...
“The empire is established! The humans shall rise!”
Galen Bonaparte, the Swirling Snow Sword Saint, blinked his tears away as he waved his right arm and shouted along at the top of his lungs with the rest of the humans. The human sword saint, who had only just submitted to Meng Lei half a month ago, had been thoroughly won over by Meng Lei’s personal charm.
“The humans have finally risen up!”
An elegant and gentlemanly smile was still on Puhaman the Dead Souls half-deity’s lips, but the tears in his eyes had failed him and were rolling down his cheeks as he smiled.
He might be a Dead Souls half-deity, but he was nonetheless still a human. In this instant, he felt exceptionally proud!
“The humans’ emergence has been set, and their momentum is unstoppable. Any empire or race that dares stand in the way of the humans’ emergence shall all be thoroughly submerged by the waves of humans!”
Some of the half-deities sighed softly. They could totally imagine how news of everything that had taken place here would sweep through the Dragon God Empire, sweep through Heaven’s Vault Continent, and sweep through every nook and cranny of the existential plane like a tornado once the next day dawned.
When that happened, the humans’ zeal would awaken, and the enormous race that had been in hibernation for the last million years would erupt with an unprecedented force to sweep through the continent and subdue all other races.
“Of course! This is on the condition that Meng Lei must live! If he dies, all will be for naught! Thus, here comes the problem—can he successfully overcome his crisis today?”
Just as the people’s thoughts were in disarray and each harbored their own thoughts, a golden light pillar that pierced through the heavens and earth suddenly descended from high up in the sky.
It was as long as the sky and as high as the galaxy.
About 10,000-meters-thick, it was just like a pillar that connected the earth to the sky!
“This is...”
The sudden phenomenon caught everyone’s attention, and they raised their heads and looked over.
They saw a hole that had suddenly appeared in the sky right away. Then, a savage-looking head emerged from within, followed by a long body...
It was a 100,000-feet-long Colossal Dragon with golden scales all over and looked as if it were forged from gold.
Awe-inspiring and holy, powerful and fearsome, it overlooked the world!
Howl!
The 100,000-feet-long Colossal Dragon roared into the sky. Rolling sound waves exploded into the surroundings like a nuclear bomb, causing the void to splinter and break everywhere they went.
“Ahhh!”
Despite being a great distance away, everyone in the square nevertheless felt as if their heads were going to break apart from pain. Their minds were a total blank, and their ears rang from
