Chapter 2: Making the Emperor receive the decree? Typical of female-oriented fiction, so utterly bra
All the races of the universe, the holy land of humanity, and the top forces in all the heavens and myriad realms came to pay homage. Even the weakest among them were at the Great Saint realm, making them among the strongest on any life-originating planet.
But before the emperor, they were all incredibly humble.
Normally they travel in celestial palaces or divine chariots, but now they only dare to come on foot, restraining all their power and not daring to overstep their bounds in the slightest.
"The Gods of Light pay homage to the Supreme Emperor!"
"The Holy Land of Taiqing pays homage to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"The Sun God Cult pays homage to its Supreme Ancestor!"
"Meng Shanhai, the third-generation head of the Meng family, pays respects to the Emperor Ancestor!"
"The Nether Phoenix Nest pays respects to the Supreme Yang Emperor!"
“…………”
Countless beings bowed deeply to Meng Chen, some even kneeling in mid-air and performing three kneelings and nine kowtows, appearing extremely respectful.
Meng Chen lowered his eyes, his gaze as intense as the sun, scanning the pilgrims and taking in their truest feelings.
The humans, who appeared to be the most devout and had already knelt down, were actually full of calculations in their hearts, and even the head of the Meng family was no exception.
In contrast, the ancient clans such as the Light God Clan, the Nether Phoenix Nest, the Sacred Qilin Cliff, the True Dragon Cave, and the Golden Lake appear more pure, inspiring only awe and worship.
Many holy lands, great religions, imperial clans, and dynasties of the human race have come, but the people from the ancestral court have yet to appear.
Meng Chen frowned slightly. He had never had any good feelings towards the so-called ancestral court of the human race.
Seeing the new emperor frown, the pilgrims were greatly alarmed. Had they been impolite and displeased the Emperor?
Roar!!
Suddenly, a dragon's roar was heard. The Crimson Dragon Great Sage of the True Dragon Cave was the first to look in the direction of the sound and saw a nine-headed golden dragon, as large as a star, flying out from the void, exuding a powerful aura.
The nine-headed golden dragon swayed its long, slender body, causing the starry sky to tremble and shower down countless stardust.
Each of them was bound by a golden chain, and at the end of the chains was a magnificent palace, shimmering with five-colored divine light, as if the Heavenly Emperor were on a tour of the universe.
Within that palace, fairies scattered flowers, goddesses played music, and 100,000 armored soldiers held spears, chanting the sacred laws of the ancestral court. The universe resounded, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, sweet dew fell from the sky, and purple clouds traveled hundreds of millions of miles eastward.
When the powerful humans saw the arrival of the Nine Dragons Immortal Palace carriage, they all showed reverence, even more so than when they were paying homage to Meng Chen, as if the beings in the immortal palace were the true emperors.
The powerful figures in the True Dragon Cave were furious when they saw the golden dragon pulling the cart, but dared not utter a sound.
The being who arrived riding in the Nine Dragon Immortal Palace carriage was none other than an envoy from the ancestral court of the human race.
Unless all the ancient races unite, the power of the True Dragon Cave alone is no match for the ancestral court of the human race.
Meng Chen looked at the Nine Dragons Immortal Palace carriage, his divine eyes slightly cold.
A mere envoy from the ancestral court has a grander entourage than I, the Great Emperor. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, so I'll start with you.
The so-called Ancestral Court is the power established by the first emperor of the human race, the First Emperor, and is located on the ancestral star of the human race.
After attaining enlightenment, the First Emperor collected ninety-nine supreme dragon veins and eight Creation Source Eyes. Using the Chaos Breath Soil as a foundation, he created a supreme source star, named it "Ancestral Star," and set up multiple imperial formations to protect it.
From then on, the human race regarded the ancestral star as their ancestral land. Every ancient emperor and great emperor of the human race would leave a legacy in the ancestral court and reinforce the ancestral star's imperial formation. Some would even leave behind their own supreme imperial weapons and set up various forbidden killing moves within the ancestral court.
With the inheritance and methods of many human emperors and sovereigns, and countless powerful figures in its ancestral court, it has remained prosperous and has undoubtedly become the number one power in the universe.
Even the Dark Sovereign in the forbidden zone of life dares not easily make a move against the Ancestral Court.
This also led to the ancestral court cultivators having a high opinion of themselves and looking down on cultivators outside the ancestral star. Even the descendants of the imperial clans were nothing more than that in the eyes of the ancestral court cultivators.
The Nine Dragons Immortal Palace carriage stopped ten thousand feet away from Meng Chen. The divine gate of the immortal palace opened wide, and an arrogant figure holding a golden decree walked out, followed by four stunningly beautiful maids.
The ancestral court envoy raised his chin slightly, looking down on everyone around him, completely disregarding the powerful figures present, acting as if the ancestral court was the boss, he was the second, and the emperor was the third.
"Greetings to the envoy from the ancestral court!"
"Greetings, envoy of the ancestral court!!"
"Greetings to the ancestral court envoy!!!"
Representatives of various human forces, including the head of the Meng family, all knelt and kowtowed to the ancestral court envoy. Their demeanor was many times more respectful than when they paid homage to Meng Chen, and their voices were much louder.
The ancestral court envoy showed a hint of satisfaction, then looked at Meng Chen, who stood atop the chaotic tides, showing no respect for the emperor. He raised the ancestral court's decree and arrogantly declared:
"The ancestral decree is here; new emperor, why don't you immediately receive it!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Meng Chen's pupils constricted slightly, and a look of astonishment appeared on his heroic face as he looked at the ancestral court envoy in disbelief.
"You want me to accept the imperial decree?"
Since the time of the First Emperor of the Human Race, all those who have attained enlightenment in the Human Race have referred to themselves as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I" or "the Emperor").
Meng Chen knew that female-oriented content was outrageous and couldn't be viewed with common sense.
But to everyone's surprise, a mere envoy from the ancestral court, an ant who wasn't even a saint, arrogantly ordered him, the great emperor, to accept the imperial decree.
That's incredibly brain-dead!
This is a female-oriented drama plot that has been adapted from the one where the female protagonist commands a million iron cavalry but still has to obey the imperial court's orders, and will commit suicide or relinquish military power as ordered!
Isn't this ancestral court envoy the same eunuch who delivered the imperial edict?
The ancestral court envoy was displeased to see that Meng Chen dared to question him. He snorted coldly, and his voice became sharp.
"New Emperor, though you are the Great Emperor, the Ancestral Court is supreme, and you must obey its decrees. If you disobey, you will betray humanity and fall into darkness. Your descendants will be sinful blood, intolerable to humanity!"
Upon hearing the threat from the ancestral court envoy, the members of the Meng family who had come on pilgrimage were terrified. They immediately looked at Meng Chen and pleaded with him to accept the imperial decree.
"Your Majesty, the Ancestral Court is supreme, protecting humanity for countless eons. Even as the Great Emperor, you must show reverence! Please, Your Majesty, accept this decree!"
"Your Majesty, the patriarch's words are reasonable. The Meng family cannot be reduced to bloodshed. Please accept the decree immediately."
"Ancestor, guarding the Imperial Pass and protecting all living beings is an unparalleled honor. How can you refuse? Think of the Meng family as well as yourself! If you go to guard the Imperial Pass, our Meng family can enter the ancestral court!"
"Envoy, please calm your anger. Our ancestor has just ascended to the throne and is unaware of the majesty of the ancestral court. Please do not take offense!"
"Your Majesty, what are you waiting for? Are you really going to disobey the imperial decree and implicate the Meng family as sinners against humanity?!"
The Meng family gradually went from pleading to rebuking, filled with shock and panic, fearing that Meng Chen's disobedience to the ancestral court's decree would cause them to become sinners against humanity.
After all, the ancestral court has existed for hundreds of millions of years and has long been regarded as an immortal land that will never fall in the hearts of the human race. Even if the Great Emperor can live for 100,000 years, it is still difficult to shake the status of the ancestral court in the human race.
Because emperors come and go, but the ancestral temple remains constant.
The great emperor will eventually fall, but the ancestral court will stand forever—this is the experience gained over countless years.
As long as the Emperor Ancestor goes to guard the Imperial Pass, the Meng family can move into the Ancestral Court and become its inhabitants.
How could the Emperor be so insensible!
Many members of the Meng family secretly complained and blamed Meng Chen.
Meng Chen looked down at the Meng family members who were scolding him, and suddenly understood why he had hesitated in the story.
These are the kind of people we shouldn't have saved! A bunch of lapdogs of the Ancestral Court, they deserved to be wiped out!
The ancestral court envoy was very pleased to see Meng Chen being reprimanded by his own people.
Even the Great Emperor must obey the Ancestral Court; otherwise, he is a sinner against humanity and will not be tolerated by humanity.
Immediately, the ancestral court envoy raised his head high, unfurled the golden decree, and loudly proclaimed the ancestral court's will.
"The new Emperor Meng Chen has received the decree: Darkness is stirring, and turmoil is imminent. The ancestral court has ordered you to immediately proceed to the borderland imperial pass, where you will reside for ten thousand years, confronting the forbidden zone and resisting the darkness. Do not allow the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone to cross even an inch of the imperial pass's land. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Chen laughed instead of getting angry.
"Ancestral Court, what an ancestral court! An ant who isn't even a saint dares to arrogantly order me around with a tattered imperial decree, telling me to guard the Imperial Pass and block the forbidden zone..."
"Heh... You really think I'm some kind of empress of female-oriented fiction, huh? So eager to court death, I'll grant your wish. You'd all die!"
Before he finished speaking, Meng Chen suddenly raised his hand, and a boundless blazing sun appeared in his palm, burning away time and space, sweeping across the universe. Under the incredulous gaze of the ancestral court envoy, he struck him with a palm...
