The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor-Chapter 38: The Mysterious Powerhouse Lynn

After dinner, Lynn took Little Yuna back to his home to continue telling her the story that was left unfinished.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Destiny Empire, which typically holds a grand imperial meeting once a month, convened an emergency session due to a certain event.

The incident at Duke Wilson’s Mansion actually spread last night, and after a night’s brewing, the impact of the matter had become astonishingly large.

A suspected demigod-level strong presence had appeared in the Imperial City of the Celestial Destiny Empire! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

When this alarming news first began to spread, many people didn’t believe it, but as some skeptical individuals delved deeper, along with Duke Wilson’s shocked and angry accusations upon regaining consciousness, a small portion of people finally began to believe the rumor.

As for why it’s only a small portion, that’s because most people think for themselves.

A demigod at over level 900? What a joke! Would you dare to say that in front of the Saint Emperor of Light?

Try asking him, how come you, the strongest on the Divine Protection Continent, are nearly 200 levels lower than someone else, go ahead and ask!

Apart from the sages from hundreds of years ago, in the past five hundred years, when has the Divine Protection Continent ever produced a demigod-level strong presence at level 900? Even those peak Saint Tier above level 800 are as rare as a phoenix’s feather.

And because the war with the Demon Race was too brutal, all peak Saint Tiers on the Divine Protection Continent have sacrificed themselves, leaving only the 750-level new generation Saint Emperor of Light struggling to support this shaky continent.

If not for the divine weapons descending a year ago, clearing the Demon Race’s top lineup, it’s feared that in less than half a year’s time, the Divine Protection Continent would be completely overrun by the Demon Race, just like the Divine Abandonment Continent and the Divine Protection Continent were.

Now, you’re telling me there’s actually a demigod-level presence over level 900 on the Divine Protection Continent?

Why doesn’t he just go to the Demon Realm and slay them directly? The Demon Emperor and the Seven Great Demon Kings were all killed by the heavenly soldiers and generals, the Demon Emperor’s position is vacant, and the newly appointed Demon King is only at level 700, he alone could take down the entire Demon Race, so why do we need to maintain so many troops? Why support so many strong characters?

Of course, the thoughts of a demigod-level presence are beyond their comprehension, because fundamentally, they’re not on the same level, a demigod-level presence... simply put, it’s impossible for one to exist, so how could you comprehend it?

Those guys who went to Wilson’s mansion for entertainment probably mistook a high-level Saint Tier at over level 700 as a demigod, to brutally suppress Lajian, to subdue Duke Wilson in one move, the 750-level Saint Emperor of Light could easily accomplish that.

Rather than believing that guy has his self-proclaimed level of over 900, you might as well believe I’m the First Emperor of the Celestial Destiny Empire. Transfer me 500,000 gold coins, and maybe I could appoint you as Grand Marshal.

Of course, even if 90% of people don’t believe that the mysterious strong presence who caused chaos at Duke Wilson’s Mansion last night is a demigod-level entity, given his ability to slap Duke Wilson away with one blow, it’s not an exaggeration to estimate he is above level 720.

And a level 720 presence in the Celestial Destiny Empire is the peak strong presence, the kind of terrifying existence that no one can afford to provoke, among all of Divine Protection Continent, there are not more than ten who stand firmly above him, even if he’s not that absolutely invincible demigod-level, he’s enough to walk horizontally in the Celestial Destiny Empire.

The necessary emergency grand imperial meeting still had to be convened, faced with such a significant event, even the increasingly criticized Celestial Destiny Emperor couldn’t afford to be absent, as this matter could directly impact him.

For instance, if that strong presence became dissatisfied with the royal family and attempted regicide, the many strong presences within the Imperial Palace might not be able to stop him.

With such an unstable factor wandering around Celestial Destiny City, it’s believed that His Majesty the Emperor would find it difficult to have a good night’s sleep, considering he dared to strike against Duke Wilson, there’s no guarantee he wouldn’t target even greater nobles, and His Majesty the Emperor is somewhat aware of his own reputation, how could he not worry?

At this time, within the main hall of the Celestial Destiny Imperial City, nearly all the nobles and high officials of the empire had gathered. The Celestial Destiny Emperor, who rarely came out to handle state affairs, was fashionably late, but ultimately, he made an appearance.

"Everyone, you should understand why today’s grand imperial meeting is convened. Regarding that mysterious strong presence, do any of you have something to say?"

The current Celestial Destiny Emperor was a middle-aged man, just forty-five years old, but due to indulgence in sensual pleasures, at an age when most warriors and mages are at their peak, his appearance was deteriorating and his skin sagging.

Seventeen years ago, when he ascended to the throne, he was already at level 490, just a few steps shy of entering the Saint Tier, a rare genius.

However, now, seventeen years later, the once genius prince not only failed to smoothly enter the Saint Tier but instead ruined his health. Currently, though he is at level 495, if he weren’t relying on superior equipment, in an actual fight, he might struggle even against a level 300 opponent.

During this grand imperial meeting, his voice was also somewhat lacking in energy, but fortunately, his high level and royal supplements helped him avoid appearing lethargic.

"Your Majesty, that mysterious strong presence appeared too suddenly. If he hadn’t made a move against Duke Wilson and his son in his mansion, no one would even know such a presence is hiding in Celestial Destiny City. No information about him has ever been heard from any channel before, and all we know about him is just the little he has revealed himself."

As the head of the Celestial Destiny Empire’s intelligence department, Duke Kant was usually responsible for intelligence concerning the Demon Race and unfriendly neighboring countries. Of course, they also kept tabs on the major peak strong presences of the Divine Protection Continent, but suddenly emerging Lynn wasn’t among those key figures. Most of the information he currently gathered came from guests at last night’s banquet, whose words could barely be trusted even six out of ten times.

"Where did he enter the country from? Surely this can be found out!"

The Celestial Destiny Emperor was clearly dissatisfied with Duke Kant’s intelligence capabilities. If not for the Kant Clan’s deep-rooted influence in the Celestial Destiny Empire, and their longstanding control over the intelligence system, making them formidable in many aspects, he might have been cursing him by now.

"Your Majesty, this has been ascertained. He entered Celestial Destiny City through the teleportation array at the nodes of the World Tree, and we’ve also clarified his situation before entering the city. His first appearance was near the World Tree, where many people saw him descend from the sky with wings on his back."

Duke Kant wasn’t completely idle. A whole night was enough for him to mobilize forces and clarify many matters. Especially since Lynn had always been open about his activities, never hiding his movements, it was simple to investigate him, just asking around could reveal everything.

"So whom has he come into contact with? Does he harbor hostility towards our empire? Have you investigated these aspects?"

The Celestial Destiny Emperor asked with a somewhat irritated follow-up.
