Peerless War God

In a golden palace, a black shadow appeared on top of a golden throne. He sat on the throne. He wore a crown on his head and his eyes were cold. His body was as big as a hill. One could only see a vague outline of his body, so one could not see his face clearly.    

Hundreds of strong people were lined up below the throne. They were waiting respectfully. Some of them were even on immortal-level.    

When they saw the Divine Emperor, they bowed.    

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”    

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”    

The Divine Emperor, who was hiding in the shadow of the throne, nodded and said, “Stand up.”    

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”    

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”    

The hundreds of people below said.    

The Divine Emperor glanced at them and said coldly, “Ha, there are quite a lot of people here today. Even you old guys can’t stay here. What? You want to join in too? Cough, cough.”    

The Divine Emperor was hinting at them. His eyes were cold as he stared at the people below.    

“This…”    

The few old men on immortal-level looked at each other and their faces darkened. They lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.    

“Ha, tell me what happened. Why are you two in such a hurry to see me? If it was any other day, I wouldn’t have come so neatly, would I? Ha, this is interesting. The sun has risen from the west today.”    

The Divine Emperor said with a mocking tone and a hint of helplessness.    

At that moment, one of the senile-looking immortal-level powerhouses took a step forward and lowered his head. “Your Majesty, this is what happened. It is said that the evil cultivators of the Black Celestial Divine Sect are attacking the border city. Once the border city falls, our dynasty will be implicated. Your Majesty, please make your plans to prevent any mishaps.”    

“That’s right, Your Majesty. According to the news, the Third Prince went out of the city to provoke the Black Celestial Divine Sect, which led to their attack. The Third Prince’s actions are really unwise. Your Majesty, please help the Third Prince to come back. If he angers the Black Celestial Divine Sect and regrets it later, it will be too late.”    

Another old man said with a solemn expression and a worried look.    

All sorts of advice and words were heard incessantly. They were like mosquitoes buzzing in the Divine Emperor’s ears, making him extremely annoyed.    

The Divine Emperor’s gaze became colder and colder, revealing a hint of determination.    

Heh, what is this? They are reporting and denouncing the Third Prince to me. Heh, these dogs don’t dare to fight head-on with the evil cultivators of the Black Celestials, but they want to criticize the Third Prince. What are they?    

The more he thought about it, the more furious the Divine Emperor became.    

“Enough.”    

He shouted angrily and stopped these people.    

“…”    

As soon as these words came out, the crowd became calmer, but soon, they started to clamor again, and their voices were louder than before. It seemed like they were trying to oppose him.    

“Your Majesty, please think twice. If you really anger the Blackheaven Cult, the consequences will be unimaginable.”    

“Your Majesty, the Third Prince is still young and lacks experience. He is easily impulsive when it comes to matters. Please recall him. If you really anger him, you will regret it.”    

“Your Majesty, please think twice.”    

One by one, they started to clamor. It was very annoying.    

The Divine Emperor’s face was stiff as he watched all of this. He gradually understood that although these people called him the Divine Emperor and respected him, they did not put him in their eyes at all. They only treated him like a clay statue and placed him on the pedestal.    

After understanding this, the Divine Emperor was no longer angry. He only felt cold.    

Just like that, he did not argue or argue anymore. He just silently watched these people argue and did not make a sound. He just watched.    

As they continued to argue, half an hour passed very quickly.    

These people seemed to have gotten tired of arguing, and they were also tired of shouting. After they realized the Divine Emperor’s cold attitude, they restrained themselves, and their voices gradually became softer. In the end, it became completely silent.    

At this moment, the Divine Emperor, who was calm and had a cold gaze, spoke up slowly, “What? Stop arguing. Continue arguing. I can listen to it slowly. There’s no rush.”    

“This…”    

When the crowd below saw this, they felt like they were sitting on wax. They were speechless.    

When he saw that everyone had stopped arguing, the Divine Emperor said, “Since that’s the case, let me ask. Is there anyone willing to deal with the Blackheaven Cult and exterminate it so that there will be no future troubles? I will reward you handsomely. Is that so?”    

“This…”    

“…”    

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd, who had been full of energy and were still arguing, immediately fell silent. Some even lowered their heads, afraid that they would be called out by the Divine Emperor. They were completely devoid of their arrogant and domineering attitudes from before.    

They were not stupid. If it was just talking, everyone would do it. However, when it came to bloodshed, they were all timid. They were all very shrewd.    

They were all saving their own interests, so they would not take the initiative to bleed.    

This was something that the Divine Emperor had seen through a long time ago.    

At this moment, the various great clans and sects in the Divine Dynasty had their own little schemes and interests. Within the Divine Dynasty, everyone was good to each other, so they could be considered to be at peace.    

However, if they really went against the Blackheaven Cult and even paid the price of blood, no one was a fool. They would not be the first to take the initiative and immediately shrink back.    

Seeing this, the Godking asked again, “Isn’t there anyone else? Or are you all the same as the Blackheaven Cult, wanting to work together from the outside?”    

These words terrified these people.    

“Your Majesty, please forgive us. We are afraid of the Blackheaven Cult, and we are definitely not the same as them. Please be wise.”    

“Yeah, I heard that the Blackheaven Cult slaughtered cities. Everywhere they passed, not a single blade of grass grew. They are incomparably cruel. We are simply no match for them. Please think twice, Your Majesty.”    

“Your Majesty, we shouldn’t be a match for the Blackheaven Cult. It is better to defend than to provoke them.”    

These people began to shirk their responsibilities. The Godking’s face turned green with anger when he saw this.    

After a long while, he sighed heavily and said, “Since you are so afraid of the Blackheaven Cult, my son is currently fighting with them in Jingbian City. Shouldn’t you all do something? If you have the money, you can fork it out. If you have the strength, you can exert it. That should be enough, right?”    

The Godking took a step back and didn’t really pursue the matter.    

He knew that these people were used to living in luxury. They had the strength, but it was difficult to say how strong they were. If they were to fight the Blackheaven Cult on the battlefield, it wouldn’t be the best solution.    

Since they weren’t willing to do anything, then they could just fork out money and exert their strength.
