Chapter 986: Why Has Another One Appeared?

Seeing this scene, many Immortals present looked at each other, their expressions filled with surprise.

Rumors said that the relationship between this couple was very distant, that they rarely visited each other and seemed to have no dealings at all; it seemed those rumors were inaccurate…

Even for the heaven worship, he brought the Holy Empress along. Weren't they quite affectionate?

Hearing this, Shui Yunshan was also slightly stunned. She immediately realized the issue and nodded, replying softly:

"Since Your Majesty has such intentions, I shall naturally obey."

As she spoke, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she moved with graceful steps to Qi Yuan's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

Behind Shui Yunshan, Lin Zhen also cautiously stepped forward to follow, fearing that if the distance between them grew too large, he would transform back into a man in front of everyone.

As Lin Zhen approached, the repulsive force lingering around the Nine-Colored Heaven Worship Platform quickly vanished, revealing a path leading to the heavenly dao stele.

It worked!

Seeing this, Qi Yuan breathed a massive sigh of relief, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

As the Benevolent Corpse of Immortal Emperor Donghua, Lin Zhen naturally inherited many of the merits his original self had established under the Heavenly Dao. Thus, blessed with the Five Virtues, he became a Child of Destiny favored by the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, as long as he stayed by his little brother's side, he could escape that repulsive force and ascend the Heaven Worship Platform through this opportunistic method!

In other words, the Immortal Emperor Luck on Lin Zhen was a special passage Token; with this Token, one could move unhindered on the Heaven Worship Platform…

While these thoughts swirled, Qi Yuan remained calm on the surface, stepping onto the Heaven Worship Platform with the "two women" with an air of composure.

From the perspective of the other Immortals, this was the best proof that the new Immortal Emperor had gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. Even the few Immortals who had doubts about Tai Hao's ascension instantly dismissed those thoughts, replaced by deep awe.

After all, in a sense, ascending the Heaven Worship Platform meant being the chosen one of destiny!

In their excitement, no one paid attention to the personal maid whose presence was almost non-existent. They only secretly lamented that from today onwards, the Immortal Court would completely enter the era of Haotian Immortal Emperor's rule, though they knew not whether it would be a blessing or a curse…

On the other side, having reached the top of the Heaven Worship Platform, Qi Yuan unhesitatingly pocketed the Small Crystal Plaque in front of the stele, causing Shui Yunshan's eyes to shine beside him, her joy almost uncontrollable.

This unremarkable Small Crystal Plaque was the key to the Immortal Emperors Treasury.

She had gone to great lengths and risked a massive gamble just to get her hands on this item!

At this thought, she took a deep look at the man nearby, a brilliant light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She had originally thought this plan would be extremely difficult, but she hadn't expected him to use all sorts of inconceivable and miraculous methods to turn danger into safety time and again, finally achieving success!

She had to admit, the feeling of following a god-tier teammate and sweeping through everything was truly wonderful and filled her heart with joy…

While Shui Yunshan was lost in thought, Qi Yuan had already pretentiously recited a sacrificial prayer. At the same time, he bowed slightly and solemnly performed three kowtows to the heavenly dao stele.

However, even after he finished his salutation, the heavenly dao stele showed no reaction, and a dead silence hung over the Heaven Worship Platform.

Seeing this, the Immortals waiting expectantly on the plaza all showed looks of confusion, clearly realizing something was wrong.

Reasonably, when a new Immortal Emperor ascends the platform to receive his mandate, the stele representing the will of the Heavenly Dao should react. Why was it so quiet now?

What was going on?

Could there be a problem with the Heaven Worship Platform?

Meeting the questioning gazes from all directions, Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly signaled Lin Zhen to quickly bow to the stele.

The next moment!

Swish!

Beams of golden light soared from the heavenly dao stele into the sky. Grand and majestic Nine-Colored Auspicious Clouds surged down, finally converging above the Heaven Worship Platform to form countless auspicious Divine Beasts. Phenomena erupted in a magnificent display.

Bursts of Dao Sounds, like the tolling of great bells, resonated through heaven and earth. Coupled with the dazzling Immortal Light, they shook the souls of all the Immortals, causing them to involuntarily prostrate themselves on the ground, not daring to look up.

At this moment, no one had any further doubts about Qi Yuan ascending to the imperial throne.

The grand and magnificent phenomena meant that the will of the Heavenly Dao was very satisfied with the worshiper.

At this moment, no one had any further doubts about the new Immortal Emperor ascending to the imperial throne. As for why it had been quiet earlier, it could only be attributed to some kind of delay…

Of course, except for those in the know on the Heaven Worship Platform, even if the Immortals present racked their brains, they would never imagine that the one who actually triggered the feedback from the Heavenly Dao's will wasn't the new Immortal Emperor, but the Immortal Emperor's wife's… maid.

Just as the phenomena in the sky reached their peak, all the Immortals were incredibly excited. They all knelt on the ground, their voices of praise like a mountain-shaking tsunami, echoing through the clouds:

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

A mass of layered, dark Chaos suddenly surged from the distance, blotting out the sun and quickly closing in.

Following that, a mysterious and indescribable terrifying figure slowly emerged. He wore a mask and a fluttering black robe, with only a pair of eyes visible behind the mask—eyes that were cold, indifferent, and as deep as the sea.

Seeing this figure, the Immortals kneeling on the ground all gasped, their faces filled with disbelief.

What was happening?

Isn't Your Majesty on the Heaven Worship Platform? Why has another one appeared?
