In no time, countless cultivators gathered at the Heavenly Palace, causing havoc everywhere.
Since many halls like the Heavenly Palace's library were forbidden, ordinary cultivators couldn't enter them.
If not, they would have already snatched up the treasures in the Heavenly Palace long ago.
Nevertheless, the cultivators who arrived at the Heavenly Palace began fighting among themselves and were already dead.
Who would take possession of the Heavenly Palace if there was no winner?
As long as one could take control of Heavenly Palace, one could naturally access the treasure vault.
…
Amidst the uproar and massacre outside, the Lingxiao Hall, the core of the Heavenly Palace, was quite peaceful at this time.
The Lingxiao Hall forbade lowly cultivators, but not immortals.
In the Lingxiao Hall, several immortals were looking at the throne filled with majesty before them, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
This was the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.
Previously, they could only stand below when they visited the Heavenly Palace and gazed at the Heavenly Emperor.
However, at this moment, they had a chance to sit on this throne and experience what it was like to be a Heavenly Emperor.
"Everyone, let me sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor for a moment and experience what it's like to be the Heavenly Emperor."
Suddenly, one of the immortals in white robes stood smilingly and walked toward the Heavenly Emperor's throne in front of him.
Despite the other immortals' strange looks, he still proceeded.
The chair, however, meant nothing to them.
If they could occupy the Heavenly Palace in the future, they could sit on this chair whenever they wanted.
While walking toward the Heavenly Emperor's throne, the immortal in white robes suddenly felt a sense of fear.
Immediately after that, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, forcing all the cultivators around the Heavenly Palace to the ground, unable to stand up.
Along with this terrifying pressure, a beam of light suddenly fell from the sky and shot into Lingxiao Hall.
As this terrifying pressure increased, a beam of light shot into Lingxiao Hall from the sky.
A figure could be seen in the beam of light, like a terrifying beast descending from the sky, suddenly falling and crashing into the Lingxiao Hall.
…
(Inside the Lingxiao Hall, Heavenly Palace)
As of this moment, all the immortals expressions changed greatly.
Though the terrifying pressure couldn't cause them to fall to the ground, it shocked them and made them tremble.
"Who is it?"
"Which immortal from the Lingxuan Continent is here?"
They stared in a daze at the throne before them as the figure in the sky descended and landed directly, not even paying attention to them.
The throne belonged to the Heavenly Emperor.
"Lin Yan, you aren't dead." At this time, a few immortals had finally captured a clear view of the person who appeared.
Their expressions immediately changed to dismay.
Previously, Lin Yan and the former Heavenly Emperor had fought, and both eventually disappeared.
They believed Lin Yan and the former Heavenly Emperor had died together.
But unexpectedly, Lin Yan reappeared at this moment.
“Congratulations, Lin Yan. You killed the Heavenly Emperor, avenging for expelling you."
"Haha, Lin Yan, although you used to be the Heavenly Palace's War General in the past, you were expelled from the Heavenly Palace long ago, and now the Heavenly Palace is not yours alone."
"That's right. The Heavenly Palace has no Emperor anymore. If anyone wants to monopolize, he is the common enemy of the world."
The immortals first froze and then, one by one, began to speak as they began to look down on Lin Yan's strength.
Therefore, they tried verbally squeezing Lin Yan first so he wouldn't grab the Heavenly Palace with them.
Nevertheless, Lin Yan ignored them, which made their expressions change greatly.
Standing in front of the Lingxiao Palace, he stared at the throne in a daze.
He walked towards this throne step by step.
He didn't care about the sneers of the immortals around him.
His eyes reflected a sense of being in the past when he was the Heavenly Palace's War General.
Many immortals and warriors were guarding the entrance to Heavenly Palace's Lingxiao Hall at that time, in addition to the former Heavenly Emperor.
The entire Lingxiao Hall was both majestic and lively.
But now, the hall was cold and empty. Even the former Heavenly Emperor, who always occupied the throne, has fallen.
As Lin Yan approached the throne that belonged to the Heavenly Emperor step by step, the former Heavenly Emperor's figure seemed to appear on top of the throne again.
With a soft smile, the former Heavenly Emperor extended his hand to Lin Yan and said, "Lin Yan, I am leaving the Heavenly Palace… in your hands, don't let me down."
"I won't let you down."
Lin Yan said, but his expression grew colder and colder.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
…
His footsteps were slow but firm.
Step by step, he walked to the throne that belonged to the Heavenly Emperor …slowly turned around, and sat down.
He peered down at those immortals below.
"From today onwards, I'm the Heavenly Emperor." Lin Yan's icy cold voice echoed instantly throughout the hall.
At this moment, the voices of those furious immortals sounded.
"Lin Yan, you are a traitor. You betrayed the Heavenly Palace and murdered everyone in here. But now you want to be the Heavenly Emperor? No one will support you."
"Your delusion of rebelling against the heavens is simply absurd."
…
(On The Lingxuan Continent)
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the screen.
"So, that's how the Heavenly Emperor actually became the Heavenly Emperor back then."
"At that time, the throne was merely a cage for the Heavenly Emperor."
"Yes, only someone who was as strong as the Heavenly Emperor could firmly sit on this throne. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid the Heavenly Palace would have become a passing cloud."
"However, it is from this moment that the Lingxuan Continent began to enter the era of the Heavenly Emperor."
Everyone heaved a sigh.
There was no doubt that the Heavenly Palace had already reached complete extinction ten thousand years ago.
However, the Heavenly Emperor insisted on standing against the heavens.
Lin Yan alone embarked on this journey to become the Heavenly Emperor.
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor's throne was nothing more than a cage for him.
He has been imprisoned in this cage for tens of thousands of years.
…
Xiao Mei dumbly looked at the screen in the sky.
She was heartbroken to see that Lin Yan had no hesitation in doing so for the sake of her father's mandate.
Lin Yan was sitting on that cold throne that had become a prison, carrying all the pressure alone.
Seeing this, her heart ached.
Everyone, including Xiao Mei herself, believed Lin Yan had killed the former Heavenly Emperor to ascend to the throne.
However, no one ever considered what this throne would bring Lin Yan.
No one had ever asked Lin Yan about it.
"Did he… want to become the Heavenly Emperor? No one believed him, and no one understood him... no one..."
As Xiao Mei muttered to herself, she suddenly burst into laughter.
Xiao Yanran, on the side, glanced at Xiao Mei with concern.
It was Xiao Mei's current state that was too bad.
Even though she was laughing, she looked more like she was crying.
....
"From today onwards, I'm the Heavenly Emperor."
Lin Yan's icy-cold voice spread quickly throughout the Heavenly Palace and the Lingxuan Continent.
At first, many people were stunned by this cold and domineering voice, but they immediately burst into laughter.
"It's ridiculous. The Heavenly Palace has been destroyed, but there are still people who call themselves Heavenly Emperor."
"Let's attack the Heavenly Palace and steal its treasures."
"Go to the Heavenly Palace and see who has the guts to call himself Heavenly Emperor right now."
"I'll kill him so he'll learn that being the Heavenly Emperor isn't easy."
Countless cultivators darted towards the Heavenly Palace with lively expressions on their faces.
