Wu Shattered Star River

Time flew by.

Half a year had passed since the battle at Celestial Court. Jiang Han had stayed in the God-Demon Battlefield for several days before returning to the Ancient God Star Region and entering the secret realm to reunite with his family and clansmen.

After several years apart, Jiang Nian had transformed from a small baby into a little loli, her beauty surpassing even Ling Shiyu.

Upon Jiang Han's return, everyone was overjoyed to learn of the great victory at Celestial Court.

Jiang Han did not take everyone outside, because no one knew if the God and Demon races would go crazy and send one or two Celestial Court-level powerhouses to launch a surprise attack, which would be very dangerous.

Jiang Han originally didn't want to take his family and clansmen away from the Ancient God Star Region, but for safety reasons, he decided to take them all to Celestial Court.

However, he would not reside in the Celestial Court, but would instead choose to go to Jiang Henshui's fief, the Eastern Realm.

The Eastern Realm was a large interface, still within the third line of defense. It had been captured by the God race this time and was now being rebuilt.

Many citizens of the Eastern Realm had been relocated and were now returning one after another, beginning to rebuild their homes.

In half a year, a giant city had been built on the God-Demon Battlefield, and the remaining ten large cities were under construction.

Most of the God and Demon armies in the Celestial Court's hinterland had been wiped out, leaving only some remnants that no longer posed a significant threat.

The Celestial Court was also being rebuilt during this period, and it was almost complete. At least, the major government offices had been rebuilt.

Countless cultivators returned to the Celestial Court, and it had regained its former liveliness.

Today, Jiang Henshui sent someone over, asking Jiang Han to take everyone back to the Celestial Court because the Jade Emperor had decreed that merits should be rewarded.

Jiang Han put all his family and clansmen into the Heavenly Beast Cauldron, and then had Heavenly Camel and Heavenly Demon take the human race from the Rakshasa Realm out.

With him taking his clansmen and family back to the Celestial Court, the God and Demon race powerhouses would have no need to attack the Ancient God Star Region, as it would only provoke him and the Celestial Court, resulting in more harm than good.

As Jiang Han's concubine, Hua Xun'er naturally had to follow along.

Although Jiang Han and Jiang Henshui had left the Ancient God Star Region, their influence on the Ancient God Star Region was still very great. With the Flower Fairy race's marriage to Jiang Han, their clan would live comfortably in the Ancient God Star Region in the future.

Jiang Han took a group of people and used Star Flash to teleport all the way. He entered the God-Demon Battlefield, and then took a teleportation array all the way to the Celestial Court.

"Greetings, Lord Jiang!"

The Nantian Gate was now guarded by troops again. Seeing Jiang Han teleport over, they saluted one after another, their eyes filled with reverence.

Jiang Han nodded slightly, then took out the Heavenly Beast Cauldron and released Heavenly Camel, Heavenly Demon, Yan Qin, Jiang Li, Ling Shiyu, and Jiang Nian.

Many of them were visiting the Celestial Court for the first time, and Jiang Han wanted them to see this holy land of the human race.

"Swish swish swish ~"

At this moment, a group of powerhouses flew out from the Nantian Gate, led by an Immortal Emperor named Yuhua Immortal Emperor, followed by several Immortal Kings and a group of soldiers.

"Greetings, Madam Qin, Young Master Jiang, greetings to everyone!"

Yuhua Immortal Emperor bowed to the crowd with a smile, and then said, "His Majesty has decreed that we come to welcome you."

"Thank you, Lord Yuhua!"

Yan Qin and Jiang Han bowed in return. Jiang Han's eyes met with Yuhua Immortal Emperor's, and he suddenly had an understanding in his heart.

When he killed Zhang Xiongwen and fled, a mysterious powerhouse used the Primordial Spirit Embryo to help him cover his tracks. It should have been Yuhua Immortal Emperor.

"Let's go!"

Yuhua Immortal Emperor said with a smile, "His Majesty is in the Hall of Universal Brightness at this moment, waiting to receive Young Master Jiang. Brother Heavenly Camel, Brother Heavenly Demon, please take Madam Qin and the others to the Eastern Palace to settle down first."

"Alright!"

Heavenly Camel and Heavenly Demon had faint smiles on their faces. They never thought they would be able to return to the Celestial Court openly in this lifetime?

In their hearts, they actually had some regrets—why didn't the Azure Emperor try his best to kill the Jade Emperor in that battle at the Celestial Court? If the Azure Emperor had ascended to the throne, their lineage would have had a better life.

Jiang Han was led by Yuhua Immortal Emperor all the way towards the Thirty-Three Heavens. Jiang Han discovered that most of the palaces in the Celestial Court had been repaired. It was estimated that many of the interiors had not been renovated yet, and it would take several years to completely repair them.

They quickly arrived outside the Hall of Universal Brightness. Yuhua Immortal Emperor shouted in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, your humble servant is ordered to welcome Jiang Han into the Celestial Court!"

"Summon him!"

The Jade Emperor's voice rang out from inside, and Yuhua led Jiang Han into the Hall of Universal Brightness.

The Hall of Universal Brightness had not been destroyed before, and it was still magnificent inside. Jiang Han walked in and found many powerhouses, all the Celestial Emperors were present.

The Azure Emperor sat in the first position on the left, and the Ziwei Celestial Emperor sat in the first position on the right.

To Jiang Han's surprise, Jiang Henshui was actually sitting below the Ziwei Celestial Emperor.

According to the normal order, the Heavenly Emperor of the Imperial Court, ranked fourth, should be sitting on the Ziwei Celestial Emperor's side. Even if the Heavenly Emperor's physical body was destroyed and had not yet recovered, the position would be vacant and would not be randomly occupied.

In other words!

The Ten Direction Celestial Emperors had been re-ranked?

Jiang Henshui had gone from seventh to fourth?

Seeing Jiang Han in a daze, Jiang Henshui quickly said, "Jiang Han, quickly pay your respects to His Majesty and the Holy Mother!"

Jiang Han woke up and bowed to the Jade Emperor and the Yaochi Holy Mother above, saying: "Greetings, Your Majesty, greetings, Holy Mother!"

Lü Qiuyu frowned, about to speak, because Jiang Han had not been conferred as a Celestial Emperor or Immortal Emperor, and according to etiquette, he should kneel and bow.

The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said: "Jiang Aiqing, there is no need to be so polite. You have made unparalleled contributions this time, and you may be exempt from courtesy when you see Us in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Han bowed slightly again, and then bowed to a group of Celestial Emperors. The Azure Emperor, Ziwei Celestial Emperor, and others all nodded with a smile.

The Jade Emperor glanced at a group of powerhouses and asked: "Dear Aiqings, Jiang Han has made such great contributions this time, how should he be rewarded?"

An Immortal Emperor stood up. He bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Jiang Han launched a surprise attack on Heavenly Demon City in the God-Demon Battlefield, traversing hundreds of millions of miles, helping the Celestial Court delay for several months."

"Afterwards, he returned to the Celestial Court and helped defend the three lines of defense, killing more than a dozen Demon Emperors and God Emperors, and then entered the Celestial Court's hinterland to slaughter a large number of God and Demon armies."

"Most importantly, he single-handedly broke into God King Mountain, captured tens of thousands of Zijin God Race and Golden God Race members, forcing the God Race to retreat…"

"Jiang Han's battle prowess is unmatched, and his merits are unparalleled. He must be richly rewarded to encourage all the people of the Celestial Court."

"This humble servant believes that Jiang Han should be conferred the position of Celestial Emperor and granted the title of First-Class Imperial Duke!"

"哗 ~"

As soon as this Immortal Emperor's words fell, the entire Hall of Universal Brightness exploded.

Conferring Jiang Han the position of Celestial Emperor? The Ten Direction Celestial Emperors becoming Eleven Direction Celestial Emperors? Jiang Han and Jiang Henshui both being Celestial Emperors?

This felt a bit far-fetched…

It was true that Jiang Han had made unparalleled contributions, but Jiang Han's battle prowess was still somewhat lacking and had not reached the Celestial Emperor level. Conferring him as a Celestial Emperor was going too far, right?

"Your Majesty, no, Jiang Han is still young after all. Although he has made unparalleled contributions, this humble servant still feels that conferring him as a Celestial Emperor is inappropriate…"

"This humble servant agrees!"

"Yes, this humble servant feels that he can be conferred as an Immortal Emperor and granted the title of First-Class Loyal and Brave King!"

A group of Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors stood up to object one after another. They were joking, could Celestial Emperors be conferred randomly? That would be disrespectful to the other Celestial Emperors, and many Immortal Emperors would probably be unconvinced.

After the Jade Emperor and a group of Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings finished speaking, their eyes turned to the Azure Emperor. The Azure Emperor pondered for a moment and said: "Celestial Emperor is too much. I think he can be conferred a title Immortal Emperor and granted an Imperial Duke!"

"Hmm!"

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Jiang Han, since you have inherited the Dao lineage of the Star Saint God, We hereby confer you as the Star Lord Emperor, grant you the title of First-Class Imperial Duke, and grant you a Second-Class Immortal Kingdom. We hope that you will serve the Celestial Court well in the future and make new contributions."

"Star Lord Emperor!"

Many Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors showed envy in their eyes when they heard this conferment.

Many Immortal Emperors who were conferred were all named after some Immortal Emperor. In the entire Celestial Court, only three people had been conferred as Emperor Lords in the past million years. One of them died in battle during the Dingding Battle, and the other was posthumously conferred.

Jiang Han was now the only Emperor Lord in the entire Celestial Court, and his position in the Celestial Court was above all Immortal Emperors.

In other words, he was now the number one person below the Celestial Emperor.
