Chapter 1139 The Price of Love

In any case, the formation map of the Heavenly Illusionary Fatal Formation of the Ten Galaxies was of great significance to Ding Hao. It could help him comprehend this tactical deployment in the shortest time and control the most powerful force in the Divine Capital to stabilize his position and deter the ministers.

“You said that your master had something to tell me before he left. What is it?” Ding Hao asked.

Hua Mojian nodded and said, “My master told me to tell Your Majesty to be careful of the Feather Clan. Something serious is about to happen in the Seven Seas, so Your Majesty should make preparations.”

Hearing this, Ding Hao lowered his head and thought for a moment, unable to understand the meaning of these words for a while.

What Huo Jun was trying to convey was definitely not as simple as it sounded.

At this point, Ding Hao was more and more sure that Huo Jun might have expected something before, so he left these arrangements behind. This man was indeed an extraordinary person with wonderful foresight. It was impossible for him to divine like Clay Bodhisattva. Many things had been deduced by him, and he deserved to be called amazing. Otherwise, Ding Shengtan would not have chosen Huo Jun to complete the final undercover task among the four pioneers.

Unfortunately, Huo Jun’s character was just as rare as his talent, and he committed suicide.

After a pause, Ding Hao said, “I already know about this matter. You don’t have to worry about it. I believe that you know the characters of your master’s men very well. You will act as a judge. The people you choose will be granted amnesty, and then ask them for me if they are willing to stay in God’s Palace. It will be their own choice. I’ll leave this matter to you. Tell them that in any case, I will never force them.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Hua Mojian bowed and saluted.

At this time, he gradually felt that the new emperor was different, who had a completely different style of doing things than the people of the God’s Palace he knew these days. He had a familiar feeling and unconsciously became quite respectful. The moment he turned around and left, Hua Mojian hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn’t help but say, “Your Majesty, the God’s Palace had sent an army to invade the Land of Infinity before. Please pardon me for saying that…”

Before he could finish his words, Ding Hao waved his hand and interrupted him. “I will transfer the army back. As for the specifics, after you have dealt with the affairs of your master’s force, you will return to the divine mountain to study politics and practice martial arts by the side of the three Divine Princes. All the changes will naturally be noticed.”

Hua Mojian was overjoyed when he heard this, and his heart that that had been nervous relaxed.

“I didn’t expect the new emperor would agree to stop the war against the Land of Infinity so easily. In this way, countless lives will be saved from suffering in the Northern Region. I guess that Uncle Ding Hao and the others will not have to fight so hard any longer.”

Hua Mojian excused himself in a good mood.

When he came over, he had been full of arrogance and refused to submit. But when he retreated, he bowed respectfully, without any resistance or hostility.

The divine mountain’s summit grew quiet again.

Ding Hao was still mulling over the meaning of Huo Jun’s words.

He didn’t take the Feather Clan seriously. Even if they launched an unusual attack, God’s Palace and the Ocean Forest could defeat them right away. If there were any changes in the Seven Seas, would it have anything to do with Li Yiruo, the dolphin Adorable, and the others?

It seemed that he needed to make a trip to the Sea Clan as soon as possible.

…

When the new emperor ascended, all sides were shocked.

All of a sudden, the entire Eastern Continent got busy, and all the major forces were mobilized.

There was an endless stream of envoys and congratulatory corps coming and going.

Even the top forces, such as the Feather Clan and the Beast Clan, heard the news and sent envoys to congratulate the new emperor. This was not unprecedented. Although the relationship between the major clans was not harmonious, there were still some things that had to be done when it was courtesy-related. Such a big event as the coronation of the new emperor of the Human Clan in God’s Palace was a big deal that would affect the trend of the entire Land of Divine Grace. The other clans would also send messengers to congratulate the new emperor.

Of course, this time, perhaps they wanted to figure out the new emperor’s background more than merely sending congratulations out of good intentions.

However, the new emperor, Ding Hao, had not shown up for a long time.

The political affairs of God’s Palace were basically handled by the three Regents. Many people who had been confirmed to be the trusted subordinates of the Fake God Emperor and had long been taken to prison were unexpectedly granted amnesty and even promoted to important positions.

Some ministers and experts who had contributed a lot to overthrowing the Fake God Emperor’s power in the Divine Capital were punished and demoted. Even some close relatives of the imperial family were directly deprived of their power. People like Ding Xingjin lost their military leadership and became idle lords without any power. It could be said that they had completely separated from the core circle of power in the Divine Capital.

As for Ding Chulin and several other Divine Princes who had completely surrendered to the Fake God Emperor, they were directly placed under house arrest.

In this aspect, the new emperor showed no mercy at all.

All sorts of decrees were continuously issued, and the construction of the Divine Capital was undergoing a complete transformation.

Gradually, many people could tell the new emperor’s intentions.

Many young people in the army with humble backgrounds and impure bloodlines had been promoted on a large scale. These people were not well-known before, nor did they have any amazing backgrounds or backing. They were people who could not make a name for themselves even if they fought all their lives. In the eyes of many big shots, they were like relatively strong ants, but under the promotion of the new emperor, they began to take important positions in the army.

This was a different political method.

A unique power was quietly but rapidly rising.

It was obvious that the new emperor was going to take over the military power of God’s Palace. Those young people who had just been promoted were naturally grateful to the new emperor and fully supported him.

Such a situation would naturally give rise to backlash and dissatisfaction.

In particular, many senior statesmen, who had originally placed their hopes on the emergence of the new emperor to further improve their power, began to make other plans like rabbits that had been forced into a corner. They complied outwardly but opposed inwardly, and they secretly planned to rebel. Unfortunately, their strength was too weak. Several military rebellions in the Divine Capital had disappeared silently like snowflakes falling into the water without even causing a ripple, and they could not shake the throne of the God Emperor at all.

And once those senior ministers who held high positions of power did anything against the new emperor, they would be directly killed. After the Imperial Swords were used to behead the leaders of dozens of factions in a row, all the voices of opposition completely disappeared.

The might of the God Emperor made many people tremble in fear.

The most typical example of this was the death of Qin Long.

It was said that Qin Long, the Commander of the Northern Snow Corps, had been killed directly in the army.

Qin Long was the strongest among the Four Great Armies and the senior statesman of God’s Palace with the highest individual strength. In the past, even the Fake God Emperor could not completely restrain Qin Long. It could be said that he was the overlord of a region. This time, Qin Ling did not show the new emperor any respect at all.

Not only did he express his opposition to the new emperor and disown him, but he also called him a Fake God Emperor. He wanted to use all the troops of the Northern Snow Corps to attack the Divine Capital, start a war, and revive God’s Palace. He also made it clear that he would ask the Feather Clan for help and guide their army to attack the Eastern Continent.

However, on the day when he issued the declaration of war, a stream of flowing light shot out from the Divine Capital and alarmed the whole world. The Sword Light crossed more than half of the Eastern Continent and traveled across time and space. Its aura of power shocked the world. In an instant, it arrived at the station of the Northern Snow Corps in the north of the Eastern Continent. The Imperial Sword was suspended in the void, and the voice of the new emperor spread throughout the military camp. The twenty-one crimes committed by Qin Long, the Commander of the army, were listed, and Qin Long was not allowed to make any resistance. With a flash of brilliance, he was killed right in front of his troop of millions.

Qin Long was a one-apertured God Realm Master and was also famous on the Eastern Continent. However, he was killed like a chicken without a chance to fight back. The strength of the new emperor was shocking.

The Northern Snow Corps was thus deterred, and no one dared to have any rebellious idea.

From then on, no one dared to make objections.

On the Eastern Continent, great changes were taking place in God’s Palace rapidly.

However, for many forces, the identity of the new emperor was still a mystery, because Ding Hao had never been a member of God’s Palace or even the Land of Divine Grace, which made other forces unable to get more useful information.

The intelligence systems of the Feather Clan and other forces were running wildly, trying to get more information about the new emperor. Unfortunately, apart from sending envoys over, it was difficult for them to reach out to the Divine Capital.

But no matter what, many people had already felt that a new era was about to come to the Eastern Continent.

…

On this day, the wind was mild and the sun was bright.

...

“This is the new space gate that is known closest to the Northern Region.”

Ding Hao appeared in an important border town, Stone Mouth City.

After a few years, the space-time crack that almost occupied most of the sky had expanded many times than it had been when it first appeared. Strange space ripples flickered. It was like a huge mirror.

Now, the space gate had become extremely stable, and there was no longer any danger. Even ordinary people could pass through it.

A beautiful girl in a tight black warrior uniform was standing beside Ding Hao. Her wheat-colored skin was shining with a healthy and beautiful luster, and there were two silver-white bone spears on her back. She was like a strong and beautiful female leopard, exuding a wild allure.

This beautiful girl was Gu Xing’er.

Hearing Ding Hao’s words, Gu Xing’er nodded and said, “When I go back, I will definitely tell the Blue Cloud Sect and the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect what happened here and what you have said…”

Speaking of this, the girl stole a glance at Ding Hao’s profile and could not help but say, “Brother Ding, you have to be more careful on your trip to the Seven Seas. People who are not from our clan would harbor evil intentions. The Sea Clan has little contact with the land clans, and their whereabouts are mysterious. It is said that the sea region of the Seven Seas is even greater than the land…”

Ding Hao smiled and nodded, saying, “Don’t worry.”

When Gu Xing’er looked at Ding Hao’s smile, her heart beat wildly. She blushed a little. Although she was reluctant to part with him, she didn’t know how to say it.

She missed him day and night. The feeling of not seeing him was so overwhelming that it made her want to die. However, when she saw him, she felt even more uneasy. The distance between them seemed to be farther than when she was not with him. Gu Xing’er wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Was this what she had to take when she was in love with someone?
