Chapter 989: Another Solution

A short while later.

Lingxiao Palace.

With the arrival of the genuine victim on the scene and the exposure of a small gang's conspiracy to impersonate the Immortal Emperor, this originally solemn and magnificent enthronement ceremony could only end in haste, leaving behind a complete mess.

Bang!

With a wave of his hand, Tai Hao swatted several Subordinates whose kneeling postures were not pious enough into a bloody mist. Only then did he slightly restrain the rage in his heart. He sat unceremoniously on the throne exclusive to the Immortal Emperor and ordered with a face as cold as water:

"Have Bu Yang come to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hearing the command, the surviving Subordinate kowtowed and accepted the order while trembling. Then, he scrambled away to deliver the message, fearing that a single step too slow would lead to the same fate as his companions just now.

A short while later, a figure with a dark aura drifted into the hall, kneeling to plead for forgiveness:

"This Subordinate was blind and failed to see through the impostor's true face. I ask my Dominator to punish me for my negligence!"

Hearing this, Tai Hao swept a cold glance at this confidant, and a wave of irritability welled up in his heart again.

The other party was his most trusted Subordinate, always rigorous in character and resourceful, yet he was still deceived by that fellow pretending to be him. This was enough to see how formidable the opponent was.

Particularly after regaining a bit of composure, he realized that completing such a shocking scam was definitely not an easy task.

Even with the 'Immortal Emperor's Wife' helping to cover things up, the person impersonating him still had to withstand immense pressure and complete a series of miraculous operations that could be called inconceivable. Even the slightest flaw would have completely exposed the ruse.

Not to mention anything else, just being able to pass off as the real deal under the watchful eyes of numerous Immortals without having their background seen through was an almost impossible task.

Furthermore, someone was actually able to obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao's will and ascend the Heaven Worship Platform in broad daylight without causing any suspicion throughout the process.

With this kind of imaginative and unconventional style of doing things, Tai Hao really couldn't think of anyone else besides that man whom he regarded as his lifelong nemesis…

Chen Jinnan!

Thinking of this name, a trace of ferocity gradually emerged in Tai Hao's eyes, which were as deep as an abyss:

"Since you jumped out yourself this time, don't even think about escaping again."

The thought passed, and Tai Hao's expression returned to calm. He waved his hand and said:

"Rise. This matter was ultimately my own negligence, allowing some malicious people to seize the opportunity. It is not your fault."

"Thank you for your grace, Dominator!"

Hearing this, Bu Yang, who was originally apprehensive, was instantly relieved. He climbed up from the ground with a face full of gratitude and asked cautiously:

"Dominator, this time we… let the Yuan Realm camp obtain three great treasures, their strength will surely increase greatly… How should we respond next?"

Tai Hao slowly stood up from the throne, paced two steps with his hands behind his back, and then said thoughtfully:

"Wu Miaozhen, the master of the Yuan Realm, Cultivates the Path of Incense Godhood, which is completely different from ordinary Immortals. Even if she gets those three supreme treasures, she cannot drive them."

"More importantly, there must be the blessing of the Immortal Court's Luck to exert the true power of the three Creation supreme treasures."

"Now that all the Immortal Realm's Luck belongs to me, even a Daluo Immortal holding the Execution Stage in one hand and the heavenly emperor sword in the other is just a mere trifle before me, not worth worrying about."

At this point, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly:

"I actually hope the enemy will become arrogant and conceited because they obtained those three Creation supreme treasures and take the initiative to provoke me. At that time, I can just wipe them all out in one go and eliminate the future trouble forever."

Hearing this, Bu Yang immediately understood and echoed with a face full of respect:

"Dominator is wise!"

Tai Hao nodded slightly, withdrew the fierce light in his eyes, and gave a faint instruction:

"From now on, the Yuan Realm is the Immortal Court's greatest enemy. We must go all out to surround and suppress them. We must not tolerate that group of clowns acting willfully. Do you understand?"

"This Subordinate obeys your decree."

Bu Yang accepted the order solemnly, then hesitated and tested:

"Dominator, now the entire Immortal Realm is a plaything in your palm. If you trigger the World-Ending Calamity in advance, you can clear the universe in no time, reshape heaven and earth, and become the supreme Dominator of the next era!"

"Now, the Chaos Demon Gods you secretly arranged in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms have long been ready. Why not just act directly and secure the victory in one fell swoop?"

As Tai Hao's absolute confidant, he naturally knew how terrifying his master was.

Compared to him, the seemingly not-weak Yuan Realm was just a skeleton in a tomb. As long as they dared to show their heads, they would not escape the fate of being killed instantly.

According to common logic, Tai Hao didn't need to go through so much trouble at all. He could just order the start of the world-ending. During the calamity, he could crush all enemies with overwhelming force and rule the brand-new era that followed.

But what he found incomprehensible was that his master didn't seem to be in a hurry to harvest the fruits of victory. Instead, it seemed more like he was intentionally delaying the arrival of the calamity.

This feeling was like someone clearly holding the three largest Aces in a card game, with the table full of chips about to be won. As long as they showed their hand, they could take everything and win big.

In this situation, this person delayed showing their hand, as if they were deliberately waiting for something.

Facing his Subordinate's doubt, a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Tai Hao's mouth, and he answered leisurely:

"The time has not yet come. The thing I truly want has not yet taken the bait. How can I alert the enemy in advance?"

Not knowing what he thought of, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, turned to look at the Immortal Emperor's throne on the side, and a flash of uncontrollable hatred passed through the depths of his eyes:

"No wonder that old fellow Donghua was so kind as to arrange my Reincarnation into the Great Qian Imperial Clan. It turns out there was such a calculation hidden behind it. He really played a good hand."

Bu Yang listened with a blank face:

"Dominator, you mean?"

"Hmph!"

"I was originally a bit surprised. Clearly, I had already broken through to the Creation Realm, yet I still couldn't mend the final flaw in my Dao foundation, which resulted in me not receiving the summon of the great dao divine tree for a long time."

"After this period of closed-door cultivation, I finally figured out the key point…"

As he spoke, Tai Hao's face darkened, and his voice carried a sense of grimness:

"It is all because I was born into the Great Qian Imperial Clan and possess the Imperial Sacred Body that can control Humanity Imperial Qi."

"Humanity is born from the Heavenly Dao, yet it is incompatible and mutually exclusive with it. Although the Great Qian Dynasty has long been destroyed and the Humanity Luck has greatly weakened, the Humanity Luck itself still produces an obstruction to me!"

"To completely solve this problem, I must abandon this body. Even with my foundation, after giving up my Physical Body, my strength will be greatly damaged, and I might even fall below the Daluo level…"

"What?!"

Bu Yang was instantly shocked and then persuaded without hesitation:

"Absolutely not, Dominator. Once you fall into a weakened state, not only will you be unable to suppress the Immortal Court, but even those Chaos Demon Gods bound by you will develop thoughts of backlash. The consequences then would be simply unimaginable…"

"Exactly!"

Tai Hao nodded slightly, a bit of coldness and ruthlessness appearing in his gaze, as he spoke slowly:

"Besides this method, there is another solution, and that is… to kill all members of the Human Race in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, leaving not a single one!"

"Once the Human Race is extinct, that Human Race Luck obstructing me will naturally cease to exist!"
