Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game

[Kill him]

The Celestial Emperor spoke indifferently; he didn’t want to do it himself, lest he dirty his own hands.

Upon hearing this, the five War Gods nodded in unison and said in one voice, "Yes, Celestial Emperor."

In an instant, the expressions of Chen Lan and the other two turned solemn. Chen Lan said, "Take care of yourselves. If there is a chance to escape, run. Don’t worry about anyone else."

After speaking, he displayed a fearless demeanor. Facing the five War Gods and the Celestial Emperor, he might not necessarily die, but if he feared, he certainly would!

The Path of Invincibility cannot be broken!

Just as the five War Gods charged at Chen Lan and the other two, a golden light emerged from their bodies, resplendent and dazzling.

The five War Gods couldn’t help but close their eyes, even the Celestial Emperor squinted. When the golden light dissipated, he shouted in surprise, "Where are they?!"

The five War Gods all showed shocked and amazed expressions because Chen Lan and the other two had vanished!

Disappearing into thin air, completely missing from their sight!

"They’re gone, I can’t sense them!" exclaimed the Array God, who was the one arranging the Array that was the cage of heaven and earth, naturally able to detect everything within it.

Yet the aura of Chen Lan and his companions wasn’t within the Array, vanished without a trace!

How is this possible!

The five of them looked at each other, at a loss. The sudden disappearance of Chen Lan and his companions, where could they have gone?

This is too strange.

"Search, find them for me. Even if you have to dig three feet into the Celestial Domain, you must find them!!!"

The Celestial Emperor was furious. Disappearing right under his nose was nothing less than an insult, a blatant insult!

The Grand Array of the Celestial Domain has already been set up. Even if the three of them grew wings, they would find it hard to escape his grasp. As long as they are in the Celestial Domain for a day, he will find a way!

...

"Kill!!!"

Gu Changge roared angrily, his expression ferocious, lifting his sharp blade to strike down, but suddenly paused, his eyes confused, his body trembled as he stared dumbfounded at the unfamiliar surroundings before him.

"Where is this place?" Yang Tian asked in a deep voice. He too realized that they seemed to have left the cage of heaven and earth.

That was an ancient array, how did they get out?

Looking at the surrounding forest, the three were bewildered.

Chen Lan narrowed his eyes. His heart was racing, and he felt a familiar aura, seemingly Demonic Qi.

"Look at your feet, it’s an array," Gu Changge remarked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Yang Tian and Chen Lan immediately looked down to see a rune-inscribed array, obscure and difficult to understand, with residual energy, as if it had just been activated.

Could it be that this array brought them here?

What kind of array is this, able to take them out of the cage of heaven and earth?

Only Chen Lan, with wide eyes, could realize that there was only one array capable of taking them out of the cage of heaven and earth, the Great Array of Universe Shift. But who had saved them?

Within the Celestial Domain, no one would possibly rescue them. They were a trio isolated with no one to rely on, as opposing the Evil Race was something few could find allies for.

Rustle—

Suddenly, the sound came from a man-tall bush, and Yang Tian and Gu Changge became wary immediately. Only Chen Lan was somewhat amazed, sensing that familiar aura growing closer.

Could it be...

"Demon Emperor..."

A voice spoke, and an elderly white-haired man, hunched over and only a meter and a half tall, emerged from the bush. He walked slowly with a cane, with his hair long and unkempt, obscuring his face.

But just that single phrase "Demon Emperor" sent a shudder through Chen Lan’s body. Yang Tian and Gu Changge instantly turned to look at Chen Lan. Did this person know Chen Lan?

"You are..." Chen Lan’s voice trembled slightly.

Could it be there are still Demons in the Celestial Domain, and they are alive?

"Truly..." The old man stopped, raised his trembling left hand, brushed aside his white hair to reveal cloudy eyes and a weathered face. Upon seeing Chen Lan’s appearance, tears streamed down his face as he knelt with a thud.

"It’s really you, Demon Emperor!"

Chen Lan was now certain that this person was definitely from the Demon Race. He immediately supported him with spiritual power, excited and exhilarated, "Demon Race, you are from the Demon Race, how many are still alive?"

The fact that Demons are still alive in the Celestial Domain, his brothers, and friends of the past, are not dead. They are still alive!

As long as one Demon lives, Chen Lan feels joy, for they are his family. He never regarded the Demon Race as mere subordinates nor would he let them sacrifice for him.

"Demon Emperor eternal, Demon Race undying!" The old man shouted that long-missed slogan, which he hadn’t chanted in ages.

But upon hearing Chen Lan’s words, his body shuddered suddenly, speaking with a choked voice, "Billions of Demons, when the Evil Race invaded, the Demon Emperor led the mighty Demon Race to battle, suffering heavy casualties. The Demon Emperor vanished. Some said you abandoned the Demon Race, others said you died, never to return. But the Demon Race did not believe, waiting day and night. During this time, the Evil Race hunted the Demon Race, countless Demons perished at their hands. Old Demon Qin led us to escape here, this is the world a hundred miles underground in the Celestial Domain."

Upon arrival, Old Demon Qin set up numerous great arrays, obscured our presence, cut off heavenly secrets, preventing the Evil Race from discovering us, and left us many recordings on the Array Path for us to learn from. He even set up this Great Array of Universe Shift, then left under the guise of searching for the Demon Emperor, yet never returned."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan felt as if a heavy hammer had struck his heart. That Old Demon Qin, he knew exactly who it was, the same old demon who told him about the cage of heaven and earth.

He hasn’t returned to this day, the outside is fraught with dangers, perhaps it’s...

Chen Lan inwardly sighed, looking upward, closing his eyes to process the sorrow.

He has no regrets in his life, but he feels guilty towards the Demon Race, guilty towards his family.

"But at that time, I clearly checked each of your auras, the souls had all been extinguished. Even using the Rebirth Reincarnation Technique, I couldn’t revive you all, as the Evil Race had devoured your souls." Chen Lan asked in confusion.

At that time, he had clearly inspected everyone, confirmed they were all dead, before he left the Celestial Domain, leaving that place of heartbreak.

Why would it now seem like he abandoned the Demon Race?

"Demon Emperor does not know; three days after you left, a mysterious person acted to resurrect us all, as if time turned back, our souls even returned."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan and his companions all gasped in surprise. Time reversal, soul restoration?

"Could it be the intervention of the Time Daoist? That person has lived for unknown ages, but he has no reason to save the Demon Race." Yang Tian said in a deep voice.

Chen Lan nodded. He had thought of this person as well, but upon second thought, he realized he didn’t even know the Time Daoist, there was no reason for that person to act to save the Demon Race, so who could it be?

"Do you remember the person’s appearance or voice?"

"There was no appearance, the voice was hoarse and deep, only leaving us with a single sentence before disappearing." The old demon spoke.

"What sentence?" Chen Lan asked.

"When the Demon flattens the heavens, the day of Daoist Mastery!"
