Chapter 811: Figure
The Myriad Astral God Hall was, in name, the governing institution of the human race across the entire Astral World.
The entire Hall was led by the Central Sovereign Heavenly Emperor, Jin'que.
This Heavenly Emperor had been hailed as the most outstanding supreme prodigy of nearly a thousand epochs. From the moment he stepped into the cultivation world, his rise had been nothing short of legendary.
He made his name through his powerful presence, his victories over alien races, and his suppression of the Eternal Oblivion Force. He had extensive connections, befriending many supreme heirs and maintaining close ties with various major powers. In the hearts of countless people, he was considered a flawless figure throughout the past thousand epochs.
His achievements reflected this reputation. To this day, he had not only grasped the laws of time and space but even achieved the unification of the two. He wielded countless secret arts and combat techniques with ease and mastery.
He had already made it to the ninety-ninth step of the Supreme Ladder in terms of strength. That was equivalent to a Divine Emperor.
The only difference was that his position at the ninety-ninth step remained somewhat unstable.
When faced with a countering opponent or an unfavorable environment, he might struggle to push through. But that wasn't due to a lack of strength or any personal flaw.
According to word from within the Central Sovereign Hall, this was because the Heavenly Emperor had devoted his time and effort to breaking through to the Supreme Realm.
Had he not single-mindedly pursued that goal, he would have already created his own techniques and achieved the rank of Divine Emperor with his deep foundation in secret arts, battle techniques, and cultivation methods.
Because of this, the five major factions still openly honored the Central Sovereign Heavenly Emperor, Jin'que, as their leader, despite their reluctance to acknowledge any power with greater moral authority over them.
Beneath him were numerous other powerful Heavenly Emperors—such as the Four Cardinal Emperors, the Five Directional Heavenly Emperors, the Five Elder Celestial Lords, and the Ten Imperial Venerables. Together, they numbered in the dozens.
