Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 389: Nine Emperors Stand Together, Dominating the World!
Chen Lan pulled the Snake Demon into the Void Space, revealing his true form.
But at the moment the Snake Demon saw Chen Lan’s true face, he was completely stunned and too shocked to speak.
Chen Lan let the Snake Demon have just one look, then resumed his disguise and led him out of the Void Space.
"Old Snake, what’s wrong?" Xu Yu noticed that the Snake Demon’s expression seemed off and asked in confusion.
At this moment, Chen Lan also noticed, frowning slightly. Could it be that his true identity has been recognized?
It’s important to know that his appearance in all three of his lives has remained the same; if this Demon Race individual recognizes Ye Lan from his second life, he might be recognized.
If he is an enemy, he would immediately strike him down.
Thud!
The Snake Demon suddenly fell to his knees; this scene was so unexpected that everyone was shocked.
"Old Snake, what are you doing?" Xu Yu exclaimed in surprise, trying to help the Snake Demon up, but was brushed off.
"I am the Python Demon, paying homage to the Demon Emperor!!!"
"Demon Emperor is eternal, Demon Race shall persist!!!"
The Snake Demon shouted as he kowtowed, his voice like a great bell echoing across endless miles!
Everyone was shaken to their core by this heartfelt roar and simultaneously turned to look at Chen Lan, their expressions filled with immense astonishment.
What does it mean, Demon Emperor?
Is this person the Demon Emperor? But who is the Demon Emperor?
"Old Snake, who is the Demon Emperor?" Xu Yu asked in puzzlement.
The name of the Demon Emperor was not known by many in this era, to be exact, almost no one knew.
The Snake Demon remained silent, slightly raising his head to observe Chen Lan’s expression.
There was no mistake, that face was definitely the Demon Emperor’s. He had lived for over ten thousand years and had once seen a portrait of the Demon Emperor in a Demon Race ancestral land, a well-preserved image that had been passed down for a million years.
According to those people, even if they died, the Demon Emperor’s portrait could not be damaged. If it suffered even the slightest harm, they would atone with their lives!
This is the faith of the Demon Race, even though the Demon Emperor has vanished for a million years, this remains an eternal, indestructible faith in the hearts of the Demon Race!
Chen Lan quietly looked at the Snake Demon. He could now confirm with absolute certainty how extraordinary his first life had been, to be the Emperor of a race!
Yet why did such a defiant being perish and start three cycles of reincarnation?
"Stand up, I am not any Demon Emperor, you’ve got the wrong person," Chen Lan said blandly.
Upon hearing this, the Snake Demon’s body trembled, realizing perhaps the Demon Emperor might want to conceal his identity. He had been too emotional and must not ruin the Demon Emperor’s plan!
Having thought it through, the Snake Demon stood up hurriedly, feeling embarrassed, scratching his head, "Maybe I really got it wrong, being imprisoned too long has dulled my mind."
Seeing this, Xu Yu and the others frowned, clearly noticing the Snake Demon’s odd behavior but said nothing further.
"Take a good rest," Chen Lan said with a faint smile, then turned and left with Li Chunqiu.
Leaving behind Xu Yu, the Snake Demon, and the old man, Xu Yu gazed at the Taoist Saints’ bodies on the ground, their Storage Rings had all been taken by Chen Lan, and they were no longer of any use, then looked at the Snake Demon, "Old Snake, let’s move, we still need to keep searching for the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area, I still have to avenge my father!"
"Mm, let’s check out the Netherworld," the Snake Demon nodded, took a deep look at Chen Lan’s back, then turned and left.
The Demon Emperor likely didn’t want him to be a drag, after all, having hidden for a million years he must be plotting something enormous, he was still too weak and had better not disturb him too much.
...
"Lord Ye, earlier they addressed you as the Demon Emperor, is it true?" Li Chunqiu asked.
"Do you know the Demon Emperor?"
"I don’t, but those who can be called ’Emperor’ are undefeated beings, although an Emperor hasn’t appeared in a million years, now is the age of Emperor’s fall," Li Chunqiu sighed.
"Hmm? Aren’t there many Dao Emperors here? Why say that?" Chen Lan asked in confusion, pausing and turning to look at Li Chunqiu.
The Desolate Celestial Realm has several Dao Emperors, why say there hasn’t been an Emperor in a million years?
"Heh, Dao Emperors, they’re only Dao Emperors in realm, can they be considered true Emperors?" Li Chunqiu sneered as if disdainful of these Dao Emperors.
"A true Emperor is one revered by all, a race wholeheartedly willing to follow unto death, an eternal, indestructible belief in their hearts, someone for whom they would gladly die at a single command, a mere glance could spur them to any action, such is a true Emperor, a ruler recognized by their race, not just a Dao Emperor!"
Hearing this, Chen Lan felt a shock within. One word to venture through fire without hesitation, even willing to die; a mere look could command any sacrifice, venerated by thousands, eternally followed.
How powerful must a person be to achieve such a level?
Making someone respect you is simple, instill fear and they will naturally respect you.
But to make someone sincerely follow you, even willingly sacrificing their life, is extremely hard!
Chen Lan could easily command a servant to die, a mere thought would suffice, after all, they’ve been controlled by him.
But if the control were lifted, would they still obey, still go to their deaths?
"Were there Emperors a million years ago?" Chen Lan asked.
"Yes, I once traveled the world and went to the Demon Realm, where I heard a legend about the Emperor of the Demon Race, the Cyan Emperor!" Li Chunqiu nodded and spoke gravely, "That Demon Emperor was transformed from an ancient cyan lotus, with exceptional talent and gifted, quickly becoming the strongest in the Demon Race, eliminating countless foreign enemies for the Demon Race, elevating their status until one day."
"The Demon Race faced unprecedented enemies, attacked by three great races: Celestials, Humans, and Ghosts, who had ten Dao Emperors, while the Demon Race had only three, yet they fiercely contested for a hundred years, a devastating battle leaving few survivors from all four races, the Demon Race nearly annihilated, since then no Demons were left in the Desolate Celestial Realm, the Cyan Emperor saved the Demon Race."
"He, as the Cyan Lotus from ancient times, born of heaven and earth, expended all his essence and Dao Power, transforming into a cyan lotus forming an unbreakable barrier to protect the remaining Demons, that barrier has protected for a million years, and still exists now, allowing the Demon Race to develop over the million years, becoming one of the great races, no longer dared to be provoked, and the location of the Cyan Lotus Barrier became the Demon Realm, the Cyan Lotus Demon Realm!"
"If Lord Ye goes to the Demon Realm, you would see statues of the Cyan Emperor everywhere there, the faith of the Demon Race, held in utmost reverence, anyone defiling them would not be tolerated, and if the Cyan Emperor reappeared, they would once again follow him unto death, this is a true Emperor, and the Cyan Emperor was not the only one, as heard from a million years ago..."
"There were Nine Emperors, standing at the pinnacle of the world!"
