Chapter 1696: Why Should a Greenhorn Be the Human Emperor?

The same thing was also playing out in other major prefectures.

Of course… the calmest of these major prefectures was Youming Prefecture.

However, although they were calm… this news still took them by complete surprise.

The Zhao Family had now firmly secured their position as the imperial family.

Since Xiao Fan had forcefully suppressed the Demon and Monster Races, the Human Race in Youming Prefecture now held status.

Furthermore, their territory and influence had greatly expanded, the resources they obtained were several times better than before, and the Demon and Monster Races no longer dared to provoke the Human Race at will.

It could be said… that the Human Race had completely risen.

"Xiao Fan… is, is the Human Emperor?!" The Ancestor of the Zhao Family was in disbelief.

The rest of the Zhao Family felt the same way…

"No, no wonder Xiao Fan was so calm back then…"

"That is right, that is right… When Xiao Fan asked Kong Su to meet him back then, it was not arrogance at all!"

"He is the Human Emperor… Who sits on the imperial throne of the Nine Prefectures was determined by the original Human Emperor in the first place."

"…" The Zhao Family was in an uproar, everyone filled with excitement.

Of course, other major prefectures that were not familiar with Xiao Fan also had voices of dissatisfaction and resistance. Bahuang Province and Manhuang State were examples of this.

"Xiao Fan?" the Old Ancestor of Bahuang Province muttered. He was an expert of the Shie Realm and had controlled Bahuang Province for many years.

"That is correct… Old Ancestor, you were in seclusion previously, so you are unaware. This person turned Tianshen Prefecture upside down previously, and it turns out he is the Human Emperor… And he now possesses the strength of the first stage of the Shie Realm!" the ruler of the Bahuang Province imperial family said respectfully.

"The first stage of the Shie Realm… it is quite strong, but it is not enough qualification to be the Human Emperor…" The Imperial Ancestor of Bahuang Province shook his head slightly.

He had just learned of Xiao Fan's age; he was not even 30 years old!

Although he was a Prodigy… in his eyes, he was still just a greenhorn.

A person like this wants to be the Human Emperor? Hehehe… how could he convince the masses?!

"The Tianji Sect sent a notice saying the Human Emperor is gathering everyone… requiring the kings of the eight prefectures to go, and also requiring experts of the Shie Realm to go… Old Ancestor, you…" the ruler of Bahuang Province asked.

"Hehehe… a mere greenhorn dares to command this old man? Tell him to come see me," the Old Ancestor of Bahuang Province sneered.

"This… Old Ancestor, I have heard that this Xiao Fan is very strong and suppressed quite a few experts back then…"

"Hehehe… how strong can a greenhorn be? Stop nagging and withdraw." The ruler of Bahuang Province intended to persuade him further, telling the Imperial Ancestor that Xiao Fan might not be someone to mess with, but he was coldly interrupted by the Imperial Ancestor…

"Yes!" The ruler of Bahuang Province was helpless and had no choice but to leave.

In truth, everything he knew about Xiao Fan was only hearsay; he had not seen him with his own eyes. If he were only at the first stage of the Shie Realm… then he was indeed not enough to be the Human Emperor!

Manhuang State.

"Hehehe… a greenhorn at the first stage of the Shie Realm who is not even 30 years old; on what grounds does he get to be the Human Emperor!"

The Old Ancestor of Manhuang State sneered: "And he wants us to go to Tianshen Prefecture to see him within a month? Hehehe… keep dreaming."

"Then… Old Ancestor, shall we?" the ruler of the Manhuang State imperial family asked.

"We won't go. Pretend we didn't hear it and wait for him to come here himself," the Old Ancestor of Manhuang State said with a faint smile.

"But… I heard this Xiao Fan is very strong, and he has the support of the Tianji Sect!" the ruler of Manhuang State said, hesitating for a moment.

"Strong? He is just at the first stage of the Shie Realm… I have presided over Manhuang State for nearly ten thousand years; shouldn't a Junior like him come to see me?!"

The Old Ancestor of Manhuang State's tone was extremely deep. He was at the Peak of the ninth stage of the Shie Realm, and his strength was terrifying.

The ruler of Manhuang State turned pale with fright and hurriedly flattered him: "Should… yes, he should…"

"Hmm… you may withdraw." The Old Ancestor of Manhuang State waved his hand.

He was cruel and bloodthirsty… even his own royal blood relatives were killed at his whim. Even the ruler of Manhuang State dared not provoke him, fearing that he would anger the Old Ancestor.

The imperial families of the other major prefectures also received the news one after another. Although they were also unconvinced and surprised, they eventually decided to go and take a look first. They also sent people out to investigate the background of the new Human Emperor.

Their attitude remained cautious. Xiao Fan was able to rise in a place like Tianshen Prefecture, where experts were as numerous as clouds. Furthermore, he became the Human Emperor, and the three races of Tianshen Prefecture had no disputes, which in itself proved a point.

Time passed day by day.

Heavenly God Palace.

It had now completely changed. It was even more magnificent and grand than before.

The palace was originally the traveling palace of the Human Emperor. Now that it had returned to its original place, it had also reverted to its original appearance. Xiao Fan had been at the palace for many days. The one-month deadline he mentioned was drawing closer and closer.

Many people from the imperial families of the other nine prefectures, as well as experts of the Shie Realm, had arrived. However, there were still many who had not come…

Xiao Fan did not care about these things. Or rather, he had expected it. A Human Emperor suddenly popping up, it was normal for some to be unconvinced. But being unconvinced did not matter. He could just beat them into submission!
