Chapter 859: The Emergence of the Imperial Dao Ancient Treasury

On the cart, Jiang Xiaohua, who had been lying motionless like a corpse, quietly opened a slit in his eyes...

He saw this magnificent stone gate and muttered to himself in his heart:

"It really is this place..."

"What a pain... They are looking at me... I don't want to get involved..."

"If I turn around and run now... is it too late?"

Just as Jiang Xiaohua was seriously considering whether to get up immediately and run, Zhu Zhong, who was walking at the front, had already placed his hands on the surface of the stone gate...

And pushed with all his might!!

“……”

It didn't budge.

Just as Zhu Zhong was about to give up, a dull, thunder-like sound rolled out from behind the door!

Creak—!!

In the astonished eyes of everyone, this stone gate, which had been sealed for who knows how many years, slowly opened automatically, and a golden hurricane radiating the aura of an emperor surged out from behind the door!!

At this moment, everyone subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands, the hurricane blowing their hair and clothes into a frenzy!

The earth began to tremble,

the sky began to roar.

In the golden hurricane, Zhu Zhong, who was standing at the front, suddenly saw a line of text flash before his eyes like a hallucination:

【An Emperor casts his gaze upon you】.

……

BOOM—!!!

A thunderous roar erupted from the lead-gray clouds.

Chen Ling and his two companions, who were strolling lazily through the Gray Realm, stopped simultaneously and turned to look in the direction the sound came from...

"That is..." Sun Bumian pulled down his small round sunglasses, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Immediately after, the earth beneath their feet shook violently. The three of them frowned and pressed their hands to the ground to steady themselves as dense gullies spread wildly from the distant earth!

"An earthquake?!" Jian Changsheng's eyes widened. "Earthquakes happen in the Gray Realm too?"

"No, it's not an earthquake..."

Chen Ling stared fixedly in a direction where dust was swirling. "Something... is about to emerge from underground."

Fragments of the earth danced in the air, and a sharp edge rose from the ground. In this world of only black, white, and gray, the dazzling golden color looked like a bamboo shoot breaking through the soil, instantly attracting everyone's attention!

Bai Ye and Mo Lian, who had just dealt with the shadow centipede, steadied themselves in the sweeping sandstorm, their eyes filled with shock as they looked toward that spot!

The peak of a golden pyramid broke through the desolate earth and slowly rose into the sky... The brilliant gold looked like a burning sun, rising slowly in the Gray Realm, blotting out the sky and sun.

It was a standard giant four-sided pyramid, but looking closely, one would find it wasn't like the pyramids of Egypt. It was like a superposition of matter that fused time and space. Looking at it with the naked eye, one could see the silhouettes of imperial palaces from different dynasties existing simultaneously in a fixed space...

These palace silhouettes were stacked layer upon layer. Every second, every visual angle, presented a different scene.

And the closer to the top of the pyramid, the more brilliant the radiance. Vaguely, one could see figures standing above infinity, carrying the rolling pressure of an emperor, looking down upon the world...

"Hell... am I dreaming?" Mo Lian stared blankly at this scene. "That thing, could it be..."

Bai Ye pressed the brim of his baseball cap with one hand, his mouth hanging open involuntarily...

……

The Ancient Treasury of the Play Dao.

Ugly Peak.

On the bare stone mountain, the Clown was hanging his head, playing a game of marbles with himself, when suddenly he seemed to notice something and turned his head sharply toward a certain direction!

The originally sleepy and lazy expression had completely disappeared, replaced by a beast-like vigilance and coldness!

A few seconds later,

a figure stepped out of the Ancient Treasury of the Play Dao and came to the Clown's side, frowning as he looked in that direction.

"The Play God Dao has sensed it... This is... the Imperial Dao Ancient Treasury has emerged?" Ning Ruyu, dressed in white, muttered to himself.

"First the Ghost Dao Ancient Treasury, now the Imperial Dao Ancient Treasury. The lost God Daos are appearing one after another. It seems the great catastrophe for humanity is indeed coming," said the second senior sister, Luan Mei, who was wearing a cheongsam, as she stepped out of the Ancient Treasury of the Play Dao.

"The Imperial God Dao is the pinnacle of the mortal God Daos. Once it emerges, all fourteen God Daos will sense it... The other ancient treasuries should have sensed it as well," the third senior brother said faintly.

"The appearance of an ancient treasury means a new [Emperor] is about to emerge. I wonder what strategy the human domains will take?" a voice came from nowhere. "[The Emperor] represents the revival of ancient civilization, which should be completely contrary to the current human order..."

"The human domains have existed for so long, how could they tolerate an [Emperor] riding above everyone else?"

"True, unless the Nine Lords submit, the human domains will certainly not agree."

"Then, does that mean he is destined to be nothing more than a puppet emperor?"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"It seems that before the great catastrophe arrives, humanity will fall into chaos first..."

"The internal chaos of humanity has begun, which means the Red Star is already approaching." The Master didn't know when he had started lying on the eaves. With his appearance, the several senior brothers bowed their heads in salute.

The Master looked at the sky above and said leisurely,

"Before the Red Star descends, it will inevitably trigger internal chaos among humans... It was like that back then, and it is like that now..."

"Everything is a destiny that cannot be avoided..."

……

Wuji Domain.

The Mercury Moon surged silently within the cathedral.

On the front pew of the cathedral, a figure wearing a white British-style shirt and a black vest let out a soft "Oh"...

He slowly stood up from the pew and walked step by step toward the prayer altar in the center of the cathedral. Dim sunlight shone through the huge stained-glass windows, casting light onto the cathedral floor... The man stood before the window, his slightly curly black hair swaying gently in the stained-glass light.

"The Imperial Dao Ancient Treasury, huh." The corners of his mouth turned up slightly. "Emerging at this point in time... interesting."

"Will he become a puppet emperor, unsupported and lonely... or... become the true Emperor, riding above the fourteen God Daos?"

"Unfortunately, what creates an emperor is never the emperor himself... but the era."

He turned around slowly, leaning against the cathedral wall, his gaze casually looking at the Mercury Moon hanging beneath the cathedral roof.

"The humans of this era want to destroy him."

"But I am different..."

He casually raised a palm, pinching his thumb and index finger before his eyes, as if he had pinched that weak Mercury Moon... At the same time, he raised his other palm, his two fingers as if they were going to pinch that distant pyramid in his palm...

"He will be our help... wouldn't you say?"

The Mercury Moon remained silent.
