Chapter 865: Internal Conflict
One after another, the Heavenly Emperors greeted Li Pin politely.
"Divine Emperor Origin."
"To have swept through all the races... your name has long been known. Today, we finally meet in person."
"Divine Emperor Origin, to have such a supreme prodigy like you among our Human Race is our great fortune."
"With you here, Divine Emperor Origin, we now have a true pillar to rely on."
They had suspected there was more to the story behind Li Pin killing Divine Emperor Yuan Jie. Whether it was true or not also remained uncertain. But at this moment, if Divine Martial Emperor and the others called him a Divine Emperor, then he was a Divine Emperor.
With the Human Race still mired in internal conflict and external enemies eyeing them closely, no one would be foolish enough to question it now.
Besides, the strength Li Pin had shown during the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War already matched that of a Heavenly Emperor, and he had only cultivated for three hundred years. There was no harm in calling him a Divine Emperor.
At this rate, in just three to five epochs, or maybe a few tens of thousands of years, he might comprehend the Law of Time. And after that, perhaps even master the unity of space and time.
By then, no one would dare say he wasn't a true Divine Emperor. If he wanted to claim the title a few epochs early, or even tens of thousands of years in advance, so be it.
Heavenly Emperor Tai Yi was the first to speak. He turned to Heavenly Emperor Guang Cheng and asked, "Senior Brother Guang Cheng, what's the situation now?"
Guang Cheng replied solemnly, "The Creation Divine Jade has fallen into Jin'que's hands. The senior and junior brothers guarding it... I fear they've already met misfortune.
