Chapter 548 Doomsday

Cang Fu's answer to Cang Yunhu was only four words:"The Mandate of Heaven is hard to defy."What is the Mandate of Heaven?The King's command is the Mandate of Heaven!Today, after the court session, the King summoned Cang Fu to the palace as a final test.What do you think of Ming Yan leading the team?Cang Fu had already made his stance clear.Ming Yan is more capable than me; he will definitely succeed.Then, Cang Fu explained Zhuge Tianming's plan to His Majesty, the problems in the human world, and the potential troubles that might follow, such as Li Xiaocao.What is this?To put it bluntly, this is a final arrangement, a message to the King.Although Your Majesty intends to abandon me, I have served the country and its people for countless years. Before departing, I must make my final arrangements clear; from now on, the rise and fall of dynasties will have no further connection to me.At this point, the King was completely at ease.How can I allow another to snore beside my bed! The power of the Cang clan was simply too immense, so immense that it made the king uneasy.After so many years of protracted conflict, it was finally resolved.As long as Ming Yan returned in triumph, the position of Grand Preceptor would change hands.But was it really that simple?Faced with Cang Yunhu's questioning,Cang Fu simply replied calmly, "Go home."Years later, he stood outside the ancestral home of the Cang clan.It was just a dilapidated old house, where once a young boy had studied late into the night, taking loyalty to his country as his duty.That year, the prodigy Cang Fu emerged, experiencing both the adoration of many and the fatal betrayal, yet he never abandoned his beliefs, transforming from a naive young man into an unfathomable and powerful minister.This year, the old Cang Fu returned once more to the place where it all began."A dog barks at the thatched gate, a traveler returns on a snowy night."After softly reciting this line of poetry, he stepped alone into the house, under the despairing gazes of countless Cang clan members behind him.He only spoke one sentence to his trusted confidant, Cang Heli."I'll rest for a month, then I'll return."These words struck Cang Heli like a thunderbolt.He had already prepared for the destruction of his family.Political struggles were far more brutal than the wars below.Once Ming Yan ascended the throne, he would show no mercy to the Cang clan, and would exterminate all officials in the kingdom with the surname Cang.If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze.Since he had taken action against the Cang clan, he would kill them to the bitter end.Therefore, Cang Fu's silence filled the Cang clan members with despair.But these words also stirred endless imagination in Cang Heli's heart.One month.The king had given Ming Yan a one-month deadline for his actions.Cang Heli's silent departure would allow him to quell the restlessness among the Cang clan members within this month.Cang Fu, meanwhile, sat in his ancestral home, where the weathered ancient wall was covered with portraits.At the center of the portraits was a fierce-looking, tyrannical man. Lines connected the tyrant's subordinates, ultimately linking to Li An's portrait.The mortal realm.Li An.He was about to face his most terrifying enemy on his path to becoming king.A father who had lost his son.A ruler of a kingdom....A corner of the mortal realm, above the starry sea.The celestial path opened wide.Two armies rushed out swiftly.But they weren't fast enough.Before the armies of the Ming and Cang clans could fully enter the mortal world, a pair of enormous hands from beyond the heavens shattered the celestial path.The starry sky cracked.Ming Yan looked up at the direction from which the sky-covering hand had come, letting out a disdainful sneer."A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"Although the opponent had severed the celestial path,the number of warriors who had already landed safely was more than enough.The armies of the Upper Three Realms.The Ming clan, 700 men.The Cang clan, 300 men.One thousand individuals reached the Upper Three Realms, the vast majority of whom were at the Ninth Realm.The number of God Realm experts was even more staggering: the Ming Clan sent 52.The Cang Clan sent 28.A total of 80 God Realm experts!The most significant were those peak-level contenders who had been suppressed from the Celestial Realm.Besides Cang Yunhu and Ming Yan, there was also a divine official named Sheng Zhe.In truth, having just two more such individuals would have made things much easier, but even in the Celestial Realm, Celestial Realm experts were not commonplace; they held high positions and were extremely protective of their lives.To die in the mortal realm because their cultivation level was suppressed and they couldn't unleash their Celestial Realm strength would be too frustrating.Therefore, no one was willing to come.Moreover, the Ming Kingdom possessed another important fighting force: the ancient gods buried in the starry sea of ​​the Allied Realm, the Cangtian Clan who fought Shen Ji several eras ago, also from the Ming Kingdom.Now, the Thief of Heaven was personally suppressing them, while Ming Yan believed he could easily liberate them.At that time…No one in the entire mortal realm could withstand the onslaught of his massive army.Li An, the mortal realm—they were all mere ants.Only three people in the mortal realm posed a threat to his life:The Thief of Heaven, Zhuge Tianming, and the Feathered Emperor.The Alliance Realm, the Mortal Realm, and the Immortal Realm.The powerful beings of other realms would never interfere in this matter, for they had to consider the whims of their own Heavenly Kingdom.This time,the Crown Prince of the Underworld was personally leading the expedition.If any other kingdom dared to interfere, they would be fighting to the death with the Underworld.Therefore, when Ming Yan arrived at the Alliance Realm, he made no attempt to conceal his intentions.He revealed his hand!Ming Yan's majestic voice resounded throughout the Alliance Realm."The Crown Prince of Heaven has descended to the mortal realm to suppress the rebellion and capture the traitors.""Anyone in the mortal realm who does not cooperate will be executed on the spot!"His powerful voice echoed throughout the Alliance Realm.The rebels' eyes gleamed red.The opportunity had arrived! The celestial army was pressing in!The defending troops were all trembling with fear and unease.The enemy's momentum was truly overwhelming!Over a thousand Upper Three Realms experts!The eighty who descended this time, plus the Divine Realm experts who had arrived earlier, totaled over a hundred!Today, the celestial realm had truly opened the eyes of humanity.What does it mean for gods to descend to earth? What does it mean for deities to pass through?Eight colossal dragons led the way, and divine light shone upon the starry sea.The people living on every planet knelt and prostrated themselves, praying for the gods' favor.For most mortals, unaware of the truth, this was their faith.An old woman prayed to the gods for her grandson's bright future.Ordinary couples confessed their love to the gods.The Underworld Emperor sat on his throne, experiencing the worship of the masses, but his face was filled with boredom.Because in his eyes, this place was too barren, too uninteresting.Suddenly, he picked up a colorful orb of light and aimed it at the planet beneath him.A vast expanse of colorful light descended from the sky, engulfing the entire planet.Just when the mortals thought this was divine mercy,extreme terror filled their eyes.Everything within his sight, including himself, was torn apart beyond recognition by an invisible force.The enormous planet vanished without a trace in mere seconds.From afar, it appeared as if that planet had never existed at those coordinates; it was the home of countless people, utterly destroyed with a mere flick of the Dark Emperor's finger.
