Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game

Above the firmament, the Celestial Emperor, clad in tattered clothes and with blood trickling from his lips, knelt in midair.

Standing before him were Pangu and Nuwa. They too did not look optimistic, but they had won.

In an instant, Chen Lan and others quickly gathered around Nuwa and Pangu. Dozens stood shoulder to shoulder, emitting auras that shook the heavens.

The Celestial Emperor lifted his head weakly, scanning the crowd until his gaze rested on Chen Lan, and he let out a cold laugh.

"Demon Slayer, I didn’t expect you to bring so many people. I underestimated you," the Celestial Emperor sneered.

Seeing the Celestial Emperor’s sneer, Yang Tian and the others felt a rush of satisfaction. This accursed Evil Race would finally die, and the Celestial Domain would at last be restored to brightness!

"Celestial Emperor, you are at your wit’s end. Just accept your death," Blade sneered.

"Finally, after millions of years, this Evil Race can finally be brought to justice!" Song Baiyi said excitedly, shedding any scholarly elegance in his joy.

"Amitabha," Golden Cicada murmured with a slight smile, eyes closed.

"Chen Lan, kill him. Only your demonic qi can restrain the Evil Race’s energy, only then can you truly kill him," Tianyunzi said gravely.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Lan, who turned to Tianyunzi and asked, "Then the death you speak of, is it this time?"

"Yes, kill him, and fate will come as promised. No matter how many people come, it cannot be changed," Tianyunzi said solemnly. "Unless you are willing to watch everyone here die."

"Hey, old man, what mysterious words are you saying? Are you hiding something from us?" Sun Wukong glared at Tianyunzi, speaking coldly.

Tianyunzi ignored him, focusing intently on Chen Lan.

"Chen Lan, what does he mean?" Yang Tian asked in confusion. Wasn’t everything going well?

The Celestial Emperor was already heavily injured; killing him should end it all, so why bring up life and death now?

The crowd was puzzled, but they felt a foreboding sense, as if Chen Lan and Tianyunzi knew something they were not saying, shrouded in mystery.

"So a choice must be made, right," Chen Lan spoke softly.

"Yes, or don’t kill him, and then fate will change," Tianyunzi replied calmly.

But he knew the Celestial Emperor would certainly die, as Chen Lan wouldn’t let him go.

"Heh, then I cannot do it," Chen Lan shook his head with a cold smile, stepping towards the Celestial Emperor and summoning the Demon God Sword.

"Demon Slayer, oh no, Chen Lan, you better think it over," the Celestial Emperor sneered. "Once you kill me, my true self will abandon this planet. The powers above won’t care about one Celestial Domain. They can easily plunder such a world. Do you understand what giving up means? It means destruction."

"Furthermore, my true self will stop at nothing to find your planet and destroy it one by one until you’re all dead. The Evil Race doesn’t care about the lives of you ants!"

"If you are willing to let me go, I can let you all leave this planet and spare you."

Upon hearing the Celestial Emperor’s words, everyone was shocked.

"Chen Lan, is he saying that if we kill him, we will all die?" Gu Changge asked in surprise.

"No, you will not die," Chen Lan shook his head.

Hearing this, many sighed in relief but quickly realized.

"What do you mean we won’t die, what about you?" Sun Wukong asked hurriedly.

"I... won’t either," Chen Lan shook his head, placing the Demon God Sword at the Celestial Emperor’s neck, speaking coldly, "I’ve already died twice. Why fear death?"

As he spoke, the Demon God Sword effortlessly sliced through the Celestial Emperor’s neck, severing the head. Vast demonic qi quickly engulfed the Celestial Emperor’s body, consuming it completely, and in an instant, it was refined!

Witnessing the Celestial Emperor’s death, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except Song Baiyi and others who looked uneasy.

"What’s wrong with you all? We just killed the Celestial Emperor, so why the long faces?" Gu Changge asked Blade and others, puzzled.

"It’s here."

At this moment, Tianyunzi suddenly spoke, causing the uninformed crowd to look at him in confusion.

What had arrived?

Wasn’t it over yet?

Rumble!!!

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered above the firmament, with endless red lightning streaking across the sky, accompanied by rolling thunders that made everyone’s hearts uneasy, leaving them on edge!

"What is happening?" Nuwa asked gravely, looking at Tianyunzi, knowing that these people must know something!

"Speak, enough with the suspense!" Gu Changge shouted coldly.

Song Baiyi and others looked at Tianyunzi, who sighed and turned to Chen Lan: "The Celestial Emperor was merely an avatar, his true self has unfathomable power. Once the avatar is destroyed, this world will be out of his control. He will destroy this world and kill us all, and his true power is at least at the Emperor Dao realm."

As these words fell, everyone was shocked; it was the Emperor Dao realm!

"In the future, after we killed the Celestial Emperor, a white light will flash, exterminating us all. But only one timeline shows a different result, and that’s the one where Chen Lan arrives, which is now. Chen Lan blocked everything, yet he vanished without a trace."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large hand suddenly grabbed Tianyunzi’s neck—it was Gu Changge!

This move startled everyone, not expecting Gu Changge to attack Tianyunzi without a word.

Tianyunzi calmly looked at Gu Changge without speaking a word.

"You mean to say, Chen Lan will die, he will block everything for us?"

Everyone turned to Chen Lan, who stood with his back to them, holding a sword of three feet, slightly raising his head towards the sky, seeming ready for everything, quietly awaiting his death.

"Yes," Tianyunzi nodded.

Bang!

A punch was thrown, sending Tianyunzi flying as Gu Changge, already a nine-clawed Divine Dragon, could only fight Tianyunzi to a draw.

In the next moment, Gu Changge flew to Chen Lan’s side, grabbing his hand, "Let’s go, we must leave, or it’ll be too late."

"It’s already too late," Chen Lan smiled faintly, turning to look at Gu Changge.

With that, Gu Changge looked towards the sky, and his pupils contracted, seeing a figure above the dark clouds!

[You have destroyed my avatar, and so this planet has no reason to remain]

Rumble!

The thunder spoke, a voice echoing across the Celestial Domain, causing countless to look up in terror, seeing the figure illuminated by lightning within the clouds, feeling utterly frightened.

[And you, Demon Slayer, remember that you are the one who caused the Celestial Domain to perish. Annihilate!]

As the voice fell, people sensed a terrifying aura rushing from outer space, and when their Divine Sense probed further, they were shocked!

Above the firmament, a colossal meteor broke through the clouds, a meteor nearly the size of the Celestial Domain!

It covered the sky, blazing with fiery flames, slowly descending from the heavens. If this meteor hit the Celestial Domain, it would make the whole planet explode, and everyone here would die!

But at that moment, a shadow quickly rushed towards the firmament, leaving only a voice behind.

"Tianyunzi, don’t forget what I said, get them all out of here!"

"And, I won’t die, and your fate will certainly be wrong!"
