I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 850. Replacing the Emperor with a Divine Disciple.
"My Golden Flower has already clashed with three Apocalypse Knights. If we delay even a moment, it will trigger a full-scale war between the Golden Flower and the Apocalypse Knights. Can Your Majesty bear the losses and consequences?"

The old man's tone was polite, but his attitude was anything but courteous, showing no respect whatsoever for the Pillar of State.

"Since this plan against Empress Tianwu has failed, my Golden Finch Clan will not make any exceptions, nor will we get involved again. If Your Majesty still wishes to plot against Tianwu, please seek a more capable one!"

After listening quietly to the old man's angry words, which were tinged with sarcasm, the man in the black and gold robe did not turn around. He remained calm and composed, but his voice was like an underground river surging beneath the surface of ice:

"The fate of the world is not yet settled, and the throne is not yet decided. Second Master Mo, your mother, the Divine Venerable, is far too impatient."

"What, Your Majesty, do you still think the plot against the Empress is feasible?" The old man's cloudy eyes were cold.

"The empire has produced countless geniuses over the millennia, and many reborn ancient gods. Mo Er, do you know why only I, the king, have become a god and a pillar of the empire?"

The middle-aged man gazed at the magnificent temple with his narrow, golden eyes, saying, "This is all because I, the king, am willing to wait."

The divine voice was as steady as a mountain, yet its tone was chillingly murderous: "Once a prey is set in my sights, I have enough patience to study its bone structure, seize its essence, and imprison it! Even for thousands or tens of thousands of years! As long as I can possess it, or even..."

His gilded pupils suddenly contracted into two thin lines, his divine power like a materialized blade slicing through the void, his divine voice resounding.

"Become Him!"

Temple of Apocalypse.

At the end of the divine staircase, outside the gleaming golden gate, the tall and imposing Apocalypse Knight stood with his sword at the ready. Although he could not see any sign of the being in the distance making a move, he dared not relax his guard in the slightest and remained on high alert.

However, a full day has passed, and Shang Jue still doesn't seem to have obtained the Jin Yang Divine Realm, which is very strange.

As he pondered, he noticed faint golden patterns shimmering like ripples on water at the base of the greatsword in his hand, as he attempted to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people in the distance.

Unfortunately, conversations between true gods are inaudible, so he couldn't hear anything at all.

After a moment's hesitation, his thoughts drifted back into the palace through the crack in the door, and he asked respectfully with a hint of doubt, "Your Majesty, did the child succeed?"

The temple was dark, and in the endless distance, the faint light from the gilded, high-backed throne illuminated the woman's exquisitely beautiful face.

The woman on the throne half-closed her eyes, staring silently at the radiant seal on the back of her hand, remaining motionless for a long time.

Hearing Theseus's question, she snapped back to reality and slowly closed her divine eyes.

She never imagined that she would one day be so concerned and attentive to something.

Fortunately, the pale seal eventually regained its normal light.

This indicates that the arrogant believer has already overcome an extremely painful ordeal similar to a sealing force.

The crisis of his consciousness sinking into eternal slumber has been averted; this audacious fellow is still alive.

Thinking of this, the woman on the throne leaned back, her mind slightly relaxed. As for whether she had successfully seized the Ember Sun Divine Realm, she could not make an accurate judgment at the moment.

Theseus: "Your Majesty?"

"Wait."

The woman on the throne tapped her fingertips rhythmically on the armrest and said in a deep voice, "Since Shang Jue is not making a move, it means there is still a chance for things to turn around. Once the Battle of Sumeru is over, everything will be clear."

"Yes!"

If Xia Feng truly obtains the S-grade spirit paper now, she will need to wait until the Battle of Sumeru ends to completely resolve her current predicament.

Xia Feng needs to bring the S-grade spirit paper into the Heavenly Revelation Temple. Otherwise, with Shang Juehua Goddess monitoring the empire and always eyeing it covetously, Xia Feng's current strength could lead to the loss of the Ember Sun Divine Realm at any moment due to some bizarre means.

Of course, it is also possible that Jin Yangtian obtained an S-grade spirit paper, but the method of immediately sending the spirit paper back to the Empire failed, and he could only wait for the Battle of Sumeru to end.

Moreover, this possibility is very high.

At that moment, the woman on the throne seemed to hear something, and slowly raised her head to look east, her vertical pupils slightly narrowed.

That's the direction of the sealed land.

The divine voice of the true form traversed countless times and reached her ears.

Sealed place.

Seeing the chain behind the woman in the star-patterned dress about to break, Bai Suxi almost shouted out in excitement.

Once the Dragon God's breaking of the seal attracts the attention of the gods, this being will have to deal with the human gods and won't have time to pay much attention to her.

With the gods locked in a chaotic battle and the realms collapsing, that would be the perfect opportunity for the Bone-Faced Nightmare Goddess to escape!

Having escaped, she naturally dared not return to cause trouble for the Dragon God.

But the man who captured her and brought her here must pay the price!

"boom--!"

Space tore open with a mournful cry, and the entire World Tree began to tremble uncontrollably.

Bai Suxi could clearly feel the spacetime laws entwined between the branches cracking. The jade leaves, flowing with starlight, rustled, and each vein revealed a spiderweb-like pale crack.

However, to Bai Suxi's great disappointment and even to the destruction of her beautiful illusions, the trembling world suddenly fell into an eerie stillness.

The countless cracks in spacetime were smoothed out as if by an invisible hand, and the broken threads of law were rewoven as divine light flowed.

The reopening has been suspended.

As if nothing had happened, the woman in the star-patterned dress, suspended above the World Tree crown, slowly closed her five fingers. The gilded patterns on the back of her fair hand flickered erratically, and the earth-shattering pressure from before was completely contained in her palm.

Its momentum subsided, and the supreme divine wrath emanating from its divine body vanished like smoke. Only a pair of pale, vertical pupils revealed their divine might as they gazed westward.

"Remnant Spirit, I'm giving you one last chance. Let him come see me!"

Bai Suxi was confused about what was going on with this supreme being. His emotions were so erratic. He had just been acting as if an evil dragon was about to be unleashed, but suddenly he stopped! However, judging from his still furious appearance, he seemed to be talking to another mysterious being.
"Safeguarded? Under your protection, he almost fell into eternal unconsciousness!"

Bai Suxi couldn't hear what the other being was saying, but...
"You're very satisfied with him, and you want to replace me as the divine disciple. You...you dare!"

Bai Suxi could only vaguely hear the goddess Qingli's anger rising again, huffing and puffing, her supreme majesty gone. This frightened her. "Oh no, so the Supreme Dragon God has this side to her? And Snake Snake actually saw it!"
So who exactly is it that makes this great being care so much?
The words abruptly stopped, as if the being on the other end had severed the connection.

"Boom!!" The World Tree trembled again, but this time the woman in the star-skirt simply flicked out a pale bolt of lightning, seemingly just venting her anger and resentment, without any intention of breaking the seal again.

But this was enough to scare Bai Suxi so much that she almost vomited her snake gall, her pretty face turning deathly pale, because the woman in the star-patterned dress suddenly appeared in front of her.
His pale, vertical pupils looked down at her with an icy indifference that showed no outward emotion, but Bai Suxi could clearly see a longing for her snake scales deep within those dragon eyes!

"Lord Dragon God! This little snake has not made any further mistakes, you cannot—ah!!"

The newly grown snake scales were mercilessly torn off again, and the snake woman's miserable screams echoed through the deathly silent space.
