Chapter 952 Empress
Everything has an answer.

Why was the curse cast with the blood of the Human Emperor? The target of that black curse thread was not the Human Emperor, but it flew towards the depths of the Ancient Emperor Star.

Why in the previous deification ceremony, there was Xuan Zhan’s coffin and shrine on the five-pointed altar?

Why did Xu Qing take the lamp? The corpse gas that rose up came from the five coffins and transformed into a palm with five fingers instead of four?

Why was the Eleventh Prince's behavior so outrageous? Given the Human Emperor's long-standing indifference, he never took action against him from beginning to end, nor did he suppress him. It was all like a parent's attitude.

Why was it that the Tenth Prince, who was possessed by Emperor Devouring Heaven, was ultimately killed by only the Human Emperor's soul, while the Tenth Prince himself was not harmed at all?

Everything had its answer the moment the Human Emperor took off his mask.

Because, she is not Xuan Zhan!

She was Xuan Zhan's Taoist partner, she was the mother of the Eleventh Prince and Ning Yan, and even with her status back then, to be called a descendant of the human race was just a matter of further title.

At this moment, everyone in the Ancient Emperor Star, the ministers outside the Ancient Emperor Star, and even the cultivators in the Imperial Capital who were paying attention here, all had a roar in their hearts, were extremely shocked, and their minds were thundering.

It is true...the shocking degree of this incident is beyond imagination and beyond cognition.

Originally, this would not have been possible.

Because no matter what the Human Emperor said or did, or his daily life, it is impossible for them not to reveal the slightest flaw.

Even if it could really be achieved perfection, when the five-pointed altar appeared and when Xuan Zhan's coffin appeared, no one had any doubts.

Instead, he instinctively thought that Xuan Zhan's coffin was empty.

This matter is extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully.

Especially... Five streams of corpse qi rose from five coffins, but still no one thought about why it was like this...

It was as if the fact that the Human Emperor was not Xuan Zhan was covered up by some amazing force and blocked from the world's knowledge.

Let everyone come up with reasonable explanations for all the unreasonable things that happened before.

Until now.

The veil of cognition was lifted by the Human Emperor himself.

The shock caused by the truth being revealed is naturally shocking.

Because, the one who can block and change people's cognition silently may be a god, but he must be a strong one among the gods. And there is another one who can do it as well.

And if he does this, it will be even more seamless.

That is... the Sword Emperor!
This also explains why the Sword-wielding Emperor recognized the Human Emperor from the beginning to the end, and why the Emperor's Sword before Xu Qing did not move for the Human Emperor.

Because... her appearance and everything about her are recognized by the Sword-wielding Emperor!

At this moment, this thought not only rose in Xu Qing's mind, but also exploded in everyone's mind.

As for what this girl of extraordinary talent and talent had experienced, what twists and turns there were between her and Xuan Zhan, whether Xuan Zhan had helped her, or whether she had really been devoured and died and resurrected, and how she had become the Human Emperor...

Or maybe he faked his death from the beginning to the end and took over the throne of the emperor...

No one knows the truth about this matter.

It has become an eternal mystery.

But amid the shock of the human ministers, the constant roaring in their heads, and the ensuing panic and anxiety about the future, there were three people who looked calm.

The first one is Dazai, who has always remained silent on the Ancient Emperor Star.

At this moment, the old man stepped out and knelt down before the Human Emperor.

"Meet the Human Emperor!"

The second one was the old eunuch from the Ninth Realm of Souls who stood beside the Human Emperor. He lowered his head and knelt down as well.

"Meet the Human Emperor!"

The third person was someone who was beyond everyone’s expectations, but who made sense upon closer thought. He was… King Zhenyan.

He looked calm as he walked out from beside the Eleventh Prince and arrived in front of the Human Emperor. He looked at the Human Emperor's face with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and finally he bowed his head and knelt down.

"Meet the Human Emperor!"

In fact, he never betrayed!
Everything is just cooperation.

Because, this is a game.

This was the plan set up by the talented woman who replaced Xuan Zhan more than one year ago.

When she began to prepare for the deification ceremony, she knew that this behavior would definitely be unacceptable to many forces, so she had been hiding her fighting power.

She couldn't show her mastery of the peak, even if it was an invasion by foreign races, even if the human race was in danger, but unless it was a true life-and-death situation for the entire race...

Otherwise, if she revealed her peak dominance, then what awaits the human race would be the arrival of the gods.

The gods will not allow the Wanggu clan to produce a peak ruler.

Even though she can only display her peak strength within the human race, if she is outside the human race, she is only half a step to the peak.

But it is still a big taboo.

So, she could only endure it.

She was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow her to control the situation even if she showed her fighting power.

So she ignored the Ning Yan brothers and let them stay outside, carrying their resentment towards the Human Emperor Xuan Zhan, and becoming a point of attraction for outsiders.

Use this method to fish, and when the opportunity comes, all the tempters that are caught will be caught in one net.

At this moment, she succeeded.

As the Prime Minister, the old eunuch and King Zhenyan arrived, the ministers all had a myriad of thoughts in their minds and complicated looks, but in the end... they all lowered their heads.

There was also a storm roaring in Xu Qing's heart.

This scene was indeed the last guess that came to his mind, but when the truth was revealed before him, the feeling of shock was still extremely strong.

What made him even more upset was that Ning Yan's mother was actually a master at the pinnacle of cultivation.

Xu Qing was silent and sighed softly.

Because he thought of the aura of impending death that he saw on the Sword-wielding Emperor when he first arrived in the imperial capital.

Everything seems to have an answer.

"Could it be that the Great Emperor gave this Human Emperor some kind of secret method, either as an aid or as a legacy?"

"Finally, he gave me the Emperor Sword..."

Xu Qing didn't know whether his analysis was the truth. At this moment, he looked up and stared at the statue of the emperor outside the ancient emperor star.

As for the Eleventh Prince, he was stunned at this moment, his body trembling, and he seemed to have lost all his strength. His expression was blank until the voice of the Human Emperor came.

"Stop making trouble and back off."

The eleventh prince was so excited by these words that he lowered his head and couldn't stop crying tears of joy.

The child's temper completely dissipated at this moment.

The Human Emperor, who had taken off his skin, turned around at this moment.

Her eyes revealed firmness and resoluteness, her expression was confident and calm, and her every move was full of strength and determination. She seemed to be using her determination to tell the world that she was the emperor of this world and that she had the power to change everything.

"I am the emperor of mankind. My dear ministers, do you have any objections?"

The majestic voice fell on the world.

There was silence in all directions. After a few breaths, all the ministers inside and outside the Ancient Emperor Star bowed.

"Meet the Human Emperor!"

The sound was deafening and earth-shaking.

The next moment, the Ancient Emperor Star roared, and all the luck of the human race surged, all descending on the Human Emperor, enveloping the surroundings and blessing him, forming an illusory imperial crown that fell on his head.

Destiny has already recognized it, and now the world recognizes it again!

At this moment, the Human Emperor was the center of everyone's attention. She raised her head on the Temple of Heaven, facing the sky with her true appearance as a woman.

"After offering sacrifices to our ancestors, we should offer sacrifices to the heavens!"

There was a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

A greater sense of self-confidence bursts out from the whole body.

The first part of this grand ceremony has ended at this moment, and the second part... is officially beginning!
