On the shuttle bus, Jiang Xiaohua, who had been lying motionless like a corpse, quietly opened his eyes just a slit.

He saw the magnificent stone gate and muttered to himself in his heart:"It really is this place...""So troublesome... They're watching me... I don't want to get involved...""Is it still not too late to turn around and run now?"

Just as Jiang Xiaohua seriously pondered whether to immediately get up and run, Zhu Chong, who was leading the group, had already placed his hands on the surface of the stone gate.

Then he pushed hard!!

It didn't budge.

Just as Zhu Chong was about to give up, a dull, thunderous roar rolled out from behind the door!

Creak——!!

To everyone's astonishment, the stone gate, which had been sealed for an unknown number of years, slowly began to open on its own, and a golden hurricane, radiating an imperial aura, surged out from behind it!!

At this moment, everyone instinctively covered their eyes with their hands as the hurricane sent their hair and clothes fluttering!

The earth began to tremble,and the sky began to hum.

Within the golden hurricane, a line of text suddenly flashed before Zhu Chong, who stood at the very front, as if a hallucination:An emperor casts his gaze upon you.

Boom——!!!

A thunderous roar, like an explosion, echoed from between the lead-grey clouds.

Chen Ling and his two companions, who had been lazily strolling through the Grey Realm, simultaneously stopped and turned their heads towards the direction of the sound.

"That's..." Sun Bumian pulled down his small round sunglasses, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Immediately after, the ground beneath their feet shook violently. The three of them frowned and simultaneously pressed their hands to the earth to steady themselves, as dense fissures rapidly spread from the distant land!

"An earthquake?!" Jian Changsheng's eyes widened. "The Grey Realm gets earthquakes too?"

"No, it's not an earthquake..."Chen Ling stared intently at a direction where dust was swirling. "Something... is about to emerge from underground."

Fragments of earth flew into the air, and a sharp, angular structure rose from underground. In this world of only black, white, and grey, a dazzling golden glow, like a bamboo shoot breaking through the soil, instantly drew everyone's attention!

Bai Ye and Mo Lian, who had just dealt with the Shadow Centipede, steadied themselves in the sweeping sandstorm, their gazes filled with shock as they looked towards it!

A section of a pyramid's peak broke through the barren earth and slowly ascended... Its brilliant golden hue, like a burning sun, gradually rose in the Grey Realm, overshadowing the sky.

It was a standard gigantic quadrangular pyramid, but upon closer inspection, one would realize it wasn't an Egyptian-style pyramid. Instead, it resembled a superimposed entity of time and space, where the naked eye could simultaneously perceive miniature imperial palaces from different dynasties existing within the same fixed space.

These miniature palaces were layered upwards, one upon another. Every second, and from every visual angle, the scene presented was different.

The closer one got to the pyramid's apex, the more brilliant and dazzling it became. Faintly, figures seemed to be visible, standing atop infinity, exuding a mighty imperial aura, overlooking the world...

"Damn it... Am I dreaming?" Mo Lian stared blankly at the scene. "That thing, could it be..."

Bai Ye pressed down on the brim of his baseball cap with one hand, his mouth involuntarily agape.

The Theatrical Dao Relic.Ugly Peak.

On the bare stone mountain, the Clown was hanging his head, playing a game of flicking pebbles by himself. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he sharply turned his head towards a certain direction!

His previously weary and listless expression vanished completely, replaced by a beast-like vigilance and coldness!

A few seconds later,A figure stepped out of the Theatrical Dao Relic, approached the Clown, and frowned as they looked in that direction.

"The God of Theatre Dao has sensed something... Is this... the Imperial Dao Relic emerging?" Ning Ruyu, dressed in white, murmured to herself.

"First the Ghost Dao Relic, now the Imperial Dao Relic; the Lost Divine Daos are appearing one after another. It seems humanity's great tribulation is indeed coming." Luan Mei, the Second Senior Sister in a qipao, also stepped out from the Theatrical Dao Relic.

"The Imperial God Dao is the pinnacle of the Human Divine Daos. Once it emerges, all Fourteen Divine Daos will sense it... The other relics should have sensed it by now as well," the Third Senior Brother said indifferently.

"The appearance of the relic indicates that a new emperor is about to emerge. I wonder what strategy the Human Domain will adopt?" A voice came from an unknown source. "An emperor represents the resurgence of ancient civilization, which should be completely at odds with the current human order..."

"The Human Domain has existed for so long, how could it tolerate an emperor, someone who lords over everyone else?"

"True, unless the Nine Monarchs submit, the Human Domain will certainly not agree."

"So, does that mean he's destined to be nothing more than a puppet emperor?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"It seems that even before the great tribulation descends, humanity will first plunge into chaos within its own ranks..."

"The onset of human internal strife means the Red Star is already drawing near." The Master, who had inexplicably appeared and was now lying on the eaves, caused several of his disciples to bow their heads in salute at his appearance.

The Master looked at the sky above his head and spoke leisurely,"Before the Red Star descends, it will inevitably trigger internal strife within humanity... It was so in the past, and it is so now..."

"Everything is an inescapable fate..."

The Boundless Realm.

The Mercury Moon silently surged within the cathedral.

On the first row of pews in the cathedral, a figure wearing an English-style white shirt and a black vest let out a soft exclamation.

He slowly rose from the pew and walked step by step towards the central altar of the cathedral. Dim sunlight streamed through the enormous stained-glass floor-to-ceiling windows, casting patterns onto the cathedral floor... The person stood before the window, their slightly curly black hair gently swaying in the stained-glass light.

"The Imperial Dao Relic, then." His lips curved slightly upward. "Emerging at this time... interesting."

"Will he become a desolate, lonely puppet emperor with no support... or... a true emperor, towering above the Fourteen Divine Daos?"

"Unfortunately, an emperor is never made by himself... but by the era."

He slowly turned around and leaned against the cathedral wall, his gaze casually drifting to the Mercury Moon suspended beneath the cathedral ceiling.

"Humanity in this era wants to destroy him."

"But I am different..."

He casually raised one hand, pinching his thumb and forefinger together as if grasping the faint Mercury Moon before his eyes... Simultaneously, he raised his other hand, his two fingers appearing as if to also grasp the distant pyramid in his palm...

"He will become our aid... Don't you agree?"

The Mercury Moon remained silent.
