“Without the Divine Emperor’s hindrance, the Strange God Sect and the Evil Energy Organization are developing better and better, occupying more and more regions of this world.”
“As long as the powerful ones take formal action, it will only take a month for this world to fall, and humanity will once again be on the verge of collapse.”
“Fortunately, there’s still the Divine Emperor, and his deterrence is very strong, especially against the Strange God Sect, which is even more powerful.”
“Although the Strange God Sect was hidden in the human world, they didn’t dare to act rashly. They only hid in the slums of the major cities and carefully probed.”
“Only the Evil God Organization assassinated human geniuses everywhere, absorbing the power of the geniuses to strengthen themselves, and gradually revealed the signs of causing chaos in the world.”
“There was nothing we could do. The newly formed Divine Emperor Army was all human, and very weak. What we could do was to capture the geniuses everywhere and let them join the Divine Emperor Army. This was a disguised form of protection, leaving a seed for the humans.”
“However, this would have very little effect.”
“In the end, the divine emperor raised hope once again. That day, he dragged his dying body out of the Divine Imperial Palace alone. He stood under the sunlight and let all the spies in the dark see his figure.”
“After that day, the Strange God Sect went into hiding. The Evil Energy Organization also stopped causing trouble. They hid in the dark and stared at this world like poisonous snakes.”
“The appearance of the Divine Emperor really scared the cults. They were too afraid of the Divine Emperor.”
“In addition, they did not want to destroy the world. They only wanted to gather believers and gain their faith.”
“In order to preserve their current foundation and prevent the Divine Emperor from making a move, the cult sent people to the Divine Emperor’s palace to pay their respects.”
“They promised that as long as they maintained their current slum territory and continued to stay in the slums, they would never touch other areas.”
“They were also willing to help us block the Evil God World, fight against the Evil God World, and fight against the Evil Energy Organization in this world to stop the expansion of the Evil God Organization.”
“At that time, the Strange God Sect had already occupied the slums. We did not chase them away, and we still had to protect more geniuses and humans from being destroyed by the Evil God Organization.”
“Helpless, the Divine Emperor finally nodded in agreement. That day, he grew older and older.”
“Three days later, a Gold Rank member of the Evil Energy Organization had hidden as the guardian of a country. He wanted to rebel against the Divine Emperor in order to test him.”
“That person had used righteousness to suppress the Divine Emperor. He said that the Divine Emperor had promised the Strange God Sect that they could occupy the slums. His crimes were monstrous, and they would never obey him.”
“He thought that he had hidden well, but the Divine Emperor’s soul came from the Ancient God World. He saw through the Gold Rank member with one glance and then killed him with one move.”
“This scene shocked the world and the Evil Energy Organization that was about to make a move. They no longer dared to make any noise and could only cower.”
“After that, the Strange God Sect had been developing in the slums, and they had become arch-enemies with the Evil Energy Organization. The two sides often fought in this world, and they even fought each other on the outer realm battlefields.”
“The long-term battle between the two sides gradually turned into a real fire. They fought desperately in the outer realm, and it had also bought a lot of time for your world to maintain until now.”
“A few days ago, before the Divine Imperial Palace collapsed, the Strange God Sect and the Evil Energy Organization once again went into a frenzied war. It was the Divine Emperor who suddenly ordered the Strange God Sect to destroy the 300 strongholds of the Evil Energy Organization.”
“Only then did the Strange God Sect crazily attack the Evil Energy Organization. Both sides suffered heavy losses. This was also the Divine Emperor’s last order. It was the last order he gave before he died.”
Granny Cripple sighed deeply. Her eyes were filled with helplessness and sorrow.
After Ye Fan and the others heard these words, their hearts were also shaken. They finally understood why the Strange God Sect was locked in the slums and why the Strange God Sect was fighting the Evil Energy Organization.
In the past, Ye Fan had been very puzzled. The Strange God Sect was so powerful, yet they were all hiding in the slums. This was very strange.
Especially during the battle with the Strange God Sect, Ye Fan clearly realized how powerful the Strange God Sect was.
It was completely illogical for such a powerful Strange God Sect to just hide like this.
There was also the Evil Energy Organization. They and the Strange God Sect often fought to the death. Ye Fan thought that they were fighting over territory, but he finally realized that all of this was actually the Divine Emperor’s effort to protect this world.
This decision was very cruel to the slums, but the Divine Emperor still agreed. He sacrificed a small number of people to protect the majority.
From this, it could be deduced that the Divine Emperor’s situation was terrible to the extreme. He had no other way.
Ye Fan could not help but think, if he was the Divine Emperor, how should he protect this world?
The answer was that there was no way. If he protected this world, the world might have already collapsed.
“I’m sorry. I apologize to the Divine Emperor for my previous misunderstanding.” Ye Fan apologized solemnly and asked again, “How is the Divine Emperor now?”
“Dead!”
Granny Cripple sighed deeply and walked toward the stairs step by step.
“Dead?!”
Although everyone had some guesses, they were still slightly shocked when they heard these words. Their hearts could not help but be filled with sadness and heartache.
When they thought about how the Divine Emperor who had silently protected the world had ultimately died here alone and how there were not many people by his side, their emotions were very complicated.
“Can we see the body of the Divine Emperor? Let’s express our gratitude to this old man,” Ku Heshang said in a hoarse voice.
“There’s no need. His body no longer exists because he did one last thing for you. Come with me.”
Granny Cripple walked down the stairs step by step. Finally, she arrived at the 99th floor and arrived at a huge, empty hall.
After entering the hall, everyone’s pupils constricted. They looked at the huge spatial crack in the depths of the hall in disbelief.
Black gas would occasionally come out from the huge distorted crack, wanting to pollute the world and even expand the spatial crack.
However, this black gas was covered by a faint layer of golden light, preventing the crack from expanding.
On the other side of the crack, Abyssal Giants were staring at them from the other side of the Abyss. They were bloodthirsty and violent as they stared at them. Faint resentment slowly surfaced.
“This is!”
Ku Heshang and the Abyssal Giants looked at each other. Their hearts immediately jumped in fear. The weaker ones collapsed to the ground.
“Don’t be afraid. They’re just Low-Level Gold Rank soldiers. They don’t dare to come close because a Demigod just died,” Granny Cripple said indifferently.
“A Demigod died?” Ku Heshang was puzzled.
“Yes. The last thing the Divine Emperor did for you all was to use his last bit of strength to transform into a long saber and charge into the Abyss, killing a Demigod.”
“Then, he transformed into the purest energy and covered the spatial crack, protecting it from being damaged for three years. In other words, he bought you three years.”
Granny Cripple raised her withered right hand and gently stroked the faint layer of light membrane, her eyes filled with sadness.
“You mean, this layer of light membrane is the Divine Emperor?”
Everyone was shocked, and deep sorrow welled up in their hearts.
The Divine Emperor, who bore endless infamy, was still working hard to protect this world even in death.
