Overriding the Heaven

Such a scene was perfectly displayed within the Imperial Palace.    

That’s right, after they stopped holding back and revealed their true appearance, as well as slaughtering the other cultivators, everyone within the Imperial Palace was dumbfounded.    

Who would have thought that such a scene would suddenly unfold!    

What happened to the trial?    

The result was like this?    

Why did it suddenly turn into a massacre between each other?    

Who could explain to them what was going on!    

“Hey, hey, hey… What’s going on? Why did they suddenly start fighting? This is different from the agreement, right? Wasn’t it a trial? They were only exchanging pointers, right? Why did they suddenly start fighting? This doesn’t make sense at all!”    

“That’s right, what’s going on? Why are they fighting and killing each other? Aren’t we companions on the same boat? Why are they killing each other? This doesn’t make sense, right? This shouldn’t be the case… Shouldn’t you give us an explanation?”    

“That’s right, quite a few people have already died… We can’t let them die for nothing! They should give us an answer and an outcome. Those who came here today are all geniuses whose names are known throughout the world. Yet, they are dying like this. This doesn’t make sense!”    

“Your Majesty, what’s going on? If the king wants me to die, I have no choice but to die. However, this way of dying… is really hard to accept! Isn’t it for the sake of selecting talents? Why did it suddenly become like this? Why do we have to kill each other? This is unacceptable!”    

“Please give us an explanation! Give us an answer! We have been loyal to the Immortal Dynasty for many years. We can die, but we can’t die without knowing why… I implore the Emperor to give us an answer and a result! If that’s the case, we can rest in peace even if we die!”    

…    

In their desperation, the crowd asked the Emperor for an answer and a result.    

After all, if the Emperor couldn’t give them the result they wanted, the others wouldn’t be able to either.    

The Emperor stood with his hands behind his back and looked calm. However, he didn’t speak.    

This made them feel that something was wrong!    

That’s right. If there was really a problem with this matter, the Emperor would have been furious.    

However, the Emperor didn’t.    

The Emperor seemed to be unaffected as he looked at everything calmly.    

“Humph… You are about to die, yet you still don’t understand!”    

A minister snorted and said, “You are finished!”    

“What? We are finished?”    

When these words were spoken, the crowd felt as though they had been struck by lightning!    

What did they mean by they were finished?    

“Today, we have gathered here for a grand event to revitalize the Immortal Dynasty… Now that the time has come, you are unwilling to give up your mortal bodies. Is this appropriate? This is not appropriate! For His Majesty, sacrificing everything is what a minister should do!”    

“You are hesitating now, aren’t you being unfaithful to His Majesty? You must know that loyalty is not absolute, and it is absolute unfaithfulness! With this point alone, you have already taken the path of death! Today, all of you will die here, and it is your own fault, and you can’t blame anyone!”    

“Yes, you dare to question His Majesty now? You are really bold… His Majesty, let us kill them! These treacherous ministers deserve to be executed on the grounds of treason, and there is nothing to be regretful about! If they are really allowed to live, this is a great disrespect to the Heavenly Might!”    

“Today is the time for our Immortal Dynasty to purge everything! They are not loyal enough to His Majesty, so they should be executed on the grounds of treason! However, they have all died here today, so there is no need to implicate their families! After all, disaster does not affect one’s family. As long as they are executed, it is enough!”    

“That is reasonable! As long as you die here today, your families will not be implicated… I wonder if you are satisfied with this result? How about it? Isn’t this deal very worthwhile? Oh, this is the imperial order. You just have to accept it obediently.”    

…    

The ministers slowly spoke to the disciples of the clans and sects present.    

“What, what is this?”    

Everyone was dumbfounded. They did not know what was going on!    

Wasn’t it obvious?    

Everything was different from what they had planned, and they were already dumbfounded.    

Now, they were acting like this. What was going on?    

For a moment, they had different thoughts and felt uneasy!    

“Hmph… Didn’t you already know what was going on? Why are you pretending not to know? Or are you still hoping for luck? It’s useless, it’s useless, it’s useless! Let me tell you, everything is too late now! There’s no turning back!”    

“Since you know His Majesty’s plan, then what you should do is to help His Majesty complete the plan, and not think about some useless things. You still want to resist, and you still want to live. You want too much!”    

“Even if His Majesty is merciful, you guys are too ignorant! If you surrender, then you can die a bit more quickly. Otherwise, humph, we’re definitely not joking! Before you die, you will definitely feel the most terrible pain and humiliation in the world!”    

“For His Majesty, anyone can die! Including us, we can die too! It’s just that you guys are one step ahead of us. So, what are you unwilling to give up? Come, come, accept your fate. Die obediently!”    

“As the saying goes, if the king wants the king to die, the king has no choice but to die… Now, His Majesty needs all of you to pay, but all of you are stammering and even trying to resist. Hey, hey, hey, what is going on! Don’t you think His Majesty has no respect for you? Or do you really want to see the situation turn ugly and become unmanageable? Only then will you be willing to obediently accept your fate?”    

“Everyone, stop resisting. What’s the point of resisting? It will only make us lose face! Believe me, obediently follow His Majesty’s arrangements. If it is good for you, I will be good, and if it is good for me, everyone will be good! Furthermore, the clans and sects behind you will also be spared! Because you have already paid and sacrificed!”    

…    

Although these ministers said so, their tone was filled with ridicule.    

Obviously, it was not what they meant.    

Everyone was shocked and in despair!    

They could not help but look at the emperor.    

They were staring at this Human Emperor!    

Was this really true?    

The emperor had already arranged for this to happen. Their fate?    

Did they come here to die?    

Was everything for the emperor’s grand plan?
