The Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path Emerges
On the pushcart, Jiang Xiaohua, who was motionless like a corpse, quietly opened his eyes a slit...
Seeing this magnificent stone door, he muttered to himself in his heart:
"It's actually really this place..."
"So troublesome... They are looking at me... I don't want to get involved..."
"If I turn around and run now... is it still in time?"
Just as Jiang Xiaohua was seriously pondering whether he should immediately get up and run away, Zhu Zhong, who was walking at the very front, had already placed his hands on the surface of the stone door...
Then he pushed forcefully!!
"..."
Just as Zhu Zhong was planning to give up, a muffled sound like thunder rolled out from behind the door!
Creak—!!
Under everyone's astonished gazes, this stone door that had been sealed by dust for an unknown number of years unexpectedly opened automatically and slowly. A golden hurricane exuding imperial Aura surged out madly from behind the door!!
At this moment, everyone subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands. The hurricane blew the tips of their hair and corners of their clothes to flutter wildly!
The earth began to tremble,
The sky began to resonate.
In the golden hurricane, Zhu Zhong, standing at the very front, suddenly had a line of text flash before his eyes like an illusion:
[An Emperor casts his gaze upon you].
...
Boom—!!!
A loud noise like a clap of thunder came from between the lead-gray clouds.
Chen Ling's trio, who were lazily strolling in the Gray World, simultaneously stopped their footsteps and turned to look in the direction the sound came from...
"That is..." Sun Bumian pulled down his small Round Sunglasses, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Immediately after, the earth beneath their feet shook violently. The trio frowned, simultaneously pressing their hands on the earth to stabilize their figures. Densely packed ravines spread crazily from the distant earth!
"An earthquake?!" Jian Changsheng widened his eyes. "There are earthquakes in the Gray World too?"
"No, it's not an earthquake..."
Chen Ling stared deadly at a certain direction where dust was swirling, "There is something... about to come out from underground."
Fragments of the earth danced in the air, and a sharp, angular peak rose from the underground. In this world with only black, white, and gray remaining, the dazzling golden yellow was like a bamboo shoot breaking out of the soil, instantly attracting everyone's attention!
Bai Ye and Mo Lian, who had just taken care of the Shadow Centipede, stabilized their figures in the sweeping sandstorm. The gazes they cast towards there were filled with shock!
A section of a pyramid peak broke open the barren earth, slowly rising into the air... The resplendent golden yellow was like a burning scorching sun, slowly rising in the Gray World, covering the sky and sun.
That was a standard giant quadrangular pyramid. But looking closely, one would discover that it was not an Egyptian-style pyramid at all. It was like a superposed state matter that integrated time and space. Looking with the naked eye, one could see the miniatures of imperial palaces from different dynasties coexisting simultaneously in a fixed space...
These imperial palace miniatures were superposed upward layer by layer. Every second, from every visual direction, the presented image was different.
And the closer to the top of the pyramid, the more dazzling the brilliance. Faintly, it was as if one could see figures standing above the infinite, overlooking the world with a rolling imperial Oppressive Aura...
"What the hell... Am I dreaming?" Mo Lian looked blankly at this scene. "Could that thing be..."
Bai Ye pressed the brim of his White Baseball Cap with one hand, his mouth also unconsciously opening wide...
...
Ancient Vault of the Drama Path.
Clown Peak.
On the bare stone mountain, the Clown was drooping his head, playing a game of flicking stones with himself. Suddenly, as if he sensed something, he abruptly turned his head to look in a certain direction!
The originally sleepy and lazy expression had completely disappeared, replaced by a beast-like vigilance and coldness!
Several seconds later,
A figure stepped out of the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path, arriving beside the Clown, frowning as he looked in that direction.
"The Path of the Actor had a reaction... Is this... the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path emerging?" Ning Ruyu, dressed in white, muttered to himself.
"First the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path, and now the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path. The lost Divine Pathways are appearing one after another. It seems humanity's great tribulation is indeed coming." The Second Senior Sister Luan Mei, wearing a cheongsam, subsequently stepped out from the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path.
"The Path of the Sovereign is the peak of human Divine Pathways. The moment it emerges, the Fourteen Divine Paths will all have a reaction... The other Ancient Vaults should have already sensed it too." The Third Senior Brother spoke indifferently.
"The appearance of the Ancient Vault means a new [Emperor] is about to emerge. I don't know what strategy the Human Domains will adopt?" A voice came from nowhere. "The [Emperor] represents the revival of ancient civilization. It should be completely contrary to the current human order..."
"The Human Domains have existed for so long, how could they tolerate an [Emperor] riding above everyone else?"
"True, unless the Nine Monarchs submit, the Human Domains will definitely not agree."
"Then saying this, is he destined to only be a figurehead false emperor?"
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"It seems before the great tribulation descends, humanity internally will first plunge into chaos..."
"The start of internal human strife means the Red Star is already approaching." Unbeknownst to them, the Master was already lying on the roof. With his appearance, the several disciples lowered their heads and bowed together.
The Master looked at the sky overhead, speaking unhurriedly,
"Before the Red Star descends, it will inevitably trigger internal human strife... It was so back then, and it is so now..."
"Everything is unavoidable fate..."
...
Wuji Domain.
The Mercury Moon surged silently inside The Church.
On the long bench in the first row of The Church, a figure wearing a British-style white shirt and an outer Black Waistcoat let out a soft exclamation of surprise...
He slowly stood up from the long bench, walking step by step towards the prayer altar right in the center of The Church. The dim sunlight projected onto the ground of The Church through the huge stained-glass floor-to-ceiling windows... The person stood in front of the window, his slightly curly long black hair swaying slightly in the glazed light.
"The Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path, huh." The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Emerging at this point in time... interesting."
"Will he become an unsupported, down-and-out, lonely false emperor... or... become a true Emperor overriding the Fourteen Divine Paths?"
"It's a pity, what makes an Emperor has never been the Emperor himself... but the era."
He slowly turned around, leaning against the wall of The Church. His gaze casually looked towards that Mercury Moon suspended beneath the roof of The Church.
"The humanity of this era wants to destroy him."
"But I am different..."
He casually raised a palm, his thumb and index finger pinching together in front of his eyes, as if pinching that feeble Mercury Moon in front of his eyes... At the same time, he raised his other palm. The two fingers seemed to also want to pinch that distant pyramid between his palms...
"He will become our assistance... what do you think?"
The Mercury Moon remained silent.
