I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Demon Court, Imperial Palace.

The four demon emperors were discussing this matter.

"It's fast, too fast, as if some supreme being is pushing it from behind."

"The Lord of Heaven is the one who imparts the divine way, and he comes on behalf of the Moon Palace."

"Too much of a good thing is bad. He made such a big fuss right from the start, and the Divine Court will not tolerate it."

Even as the Demon Emperor, he appeared bewildered and uneasy.

Initially, they placed Shen Ming under their wing because they shared a common enemy.

Divine Court!

But unexpectedly, Shen Ming became the ruler of the Heavenly Court in the blink of an eye, and came to seize the world fragments of Baiyujing.

The original expectation was at least a hundred years, for example, if Shen Ming performed well in this struggle for the throne, leaped into the realm of immortality, and then challenged the authority of the Divine Court.

With such a huge commotion right off the bat, the Divine Court couldn't possibly remain indifferent.

“We don’t need to worry about whether he can stop the Divine Court, because long before this, the Other Shore Divine Cult crossed the Heavenly Realm to hunt him down.”

Time is running out; this is forcing us to make a choice.

The Southern Demon Emperor said, "Yaoyao sent back a message from the moon that the Guanghan Palace is indeed growing stronger day by day, just as she said."

The other three demon emperors understood the meaning behind his words.

The Heavenly Court, the Moon Palace, and the Jade Capital—a possibility had already surfaced in their minds.

"I disagree"

Because this possibility became clear, the Eastern Demon Emperor was extremely excited.

The enormous azure figure rolled about, accompanied by thunderous roars that echoed throughout the territory ruled by the Demon Court.

"What's the point of all this if we're rebelling against the Divine Court and submitting to the Heavenly Court? We might as well have submitted to the Divine Court from the start!" the Eastern Demon Emperor said angrily.

The words "submit to the divine court" that came out of his mouth carried a strong sense of irony.

Because the Eastern Demon Emperor is a descendant of the true dragon.

The dragon race was wiped out because they refused to submit to the divine court.

"That's right. The Divine Court deceived us once. What else can we expect from the Heavenly Court? In the earliest era, the demon race was also at the mercy of being killed."

"Cooperation is fine, but submission is out of the question!"

The other two demon emperors also made their statements to express their opinions.

"Cough cough."

The Southern Demon Emperor hesitated to speak, which surprised the other three Demon Emperors.

"You haven't already reached some kind of agreement with that person, have you?" the Eastern Demon Emperor said coldly.

Under normal circumstances, the Southern Demon Emperor should have stopped there, because he didn't know much about the Heavenly Court's ruler.

"If he is merely a human who has gained the approval of the Heavenly Court, I have nothing to say."

Because of the Demon God of Howling Moon, I sent Yao Yao to the moon, not only to inquire about the Guanghan Palace, but also about everything concerning Shen Ming.

And, let Yao Yao rebuild the Taiyin Divine Path.

This time, Yaoyao mastered the power of Taiyin and did not develop an infatuation with Shen Ming.

"The Southern Demon Emperor said."

"This can only mean that Shen Ming tampered with the divine methods!" said the Eastern Demon Emperor.

“I don’t think so. Yao Yao compared the original runes given by Shen Ming with the runes cultivated by the Moon Goddess of Guanghan Palace, and after comparison, they are exactly the same,” said the Southern Demon Emperor.

The three demon emperors exclaimed in surprise, "This is rather strange."

They were all demon emperors, and one possibility immediately came to mind.

Preaching on behalf of others!

Shen Ming himself is a being of a higher status than the Moon Goddess!

"What are you trying to say?" the Eastern Demon Emperor urged.

"Do you really believe that an ordinary human can rise from the lower three realms, fight his way to the moon, then to the Jade Capital, and finally reach the Dao God realm?"

The Southern Demon Emperor's expression turned solemn as he finished speaking.

"According to what you've said, he's at most a reincarnation of some Celestial Emperor," said the Northern Demon Emperor.

"No, that's not all. He bestowed a title upon a dragon!"

At this point, the Southern Demon Emperor looked across at the other side and said, "In the lower realm, there is a pure-blooded dragon, and it is a black dragon! If it completes the Heavenly Path of Reincarnation, its bloodline will probably be even purer than yours!"

Roar!

The Eastern Demon Emperor roared, and half of the Jade Capital was struck by lightning and thunder, with howling winds.

"really?!"

It was impossible to tell whether the Eastern Demon Emperor was excited or angry.

“Absolutely true,” said the Southern Demon Emperor.

Yao Yao completed the task brilliantly, inquiring about every detail of Shen Ming's information.

Incidentally, I learned that a divine punishment had occurred in the Sixth Realm, and a black dragon from the Xuanhuang Continent, where Shen Ming was located, became its target.

The most interesting thing is that neither the Moon Palace nor anyone else seemed to care.

As a member of the Demon Court, Yao Yao knew how precious this was and repeatedly confirmed the existence of the Black Dragon.

“In fact, that dragon possesses divine status in the local area!” said the Southern Demon Emperor.

"This is outrageous! Are you implying that he exists beyond the realm of immortality?" The Northern Demon Emperor didn't believe it.

"What if it's true? Such a being wouldn't favor either the demon race or the human race. It's not that he's particularly noble, but rather that he... doesn't care."

The Southern Demon Emperor continued, "The Jade Palace is a trap. We must take turns guarding the Heavenly Palace and maintain the rift at all times, otherwise the Void King Beast will destroy everything."

Since he intends to become the ruler of Baiyujing, he should resolve this issue.

The four demon emperors never leave the Heavenly Palace at the same time.

Because Baiyujing is extremely unstable, it has always been in a broken state.

At first, the demon race was unaware of it. Only after they adapted to the harsh environment of Baiyujing did they discover that it was a trap left behind by the Divine Court.

This time, the three demon emperors were no longer agitated; they were all deep in thought.

"Is it really a pure-blooded dragon? How did they do that?" The Eastern Demon Emperor was still pondering this question.

Finally, the four demon emperors reached a consensus.

"All lesser demon gods must go all out to compete for the world fragment!"

The demon race will not submit easily; we must make them submit.

Right now, Shen Ming is the only one in the core sea, facing more than twenty lesser demon gods.

The Core Sea will confine humanity to the realm of the divine!

“If he can obtain all the fragments under these circumstances, then the Demon Court will have nothing to say,” said the Eastern Demon Emperor.

"Yes, explain it to him beforehand to avoid any future hatred."

……

And so, in the core sea, Shen Ming heard the Demon Court's decision before the lesser demon gods.

"Reasonable."

Shen Ming was not surprised. He was now the ruler of the Heavenly Court, and with the acquisition of the fragments of the Jade Palace, the Demon Court had no other choice.

"If you were to overthrow the Divine Court in the future, how would you treat the demon race?" asked the Southern Demon Emperor.

“Just as I treat other races,” Shen Ming said.

This answer almost struck a chord with the Southern Demon Emperor.

This is what he wanted: for the demon race to no longer have privileges or be pitied.

What we need is fairness!

In Shen Ming's blueprint, the World Tree is to be restored to its original form, with no more division into the Nine Realms and no more Upper Realms devouring Lower Realms.

All of this is predicated on obtaining the World Fragment and defeating all the lesser demon gods of the Demon Court.

"Finally, a decent battle."

Shen Ming, on the other hand, was quite looking forward to it; being invincible was no fun at all.

Because there is a possibility of future cooperation, we must not engage in large-scale killing.
