"Greetings, Mother."

Emperor De stepped forward to greet her, then he looked curiously at Princess Yulin.

"Aren't you cultivating in seclusion?" Emperor De asked.

"Brother. With such a big problem happening to the God Dynasty, how can I continue to cultivate in seclusion?" Princess Yulin asked.

"Big trouble?" Emperor De looked puzzled. "What trouble? Why didn't I know about it?"

Princess Yulin looked at Emperor De in confusion.

"Emperor, isn't the biggest problem that we're facing right now are the Seven Great Sages?"

The Empress Dowager asked.

"How did Mother know of this?" Emperor De asked curiously.

Ever since the Empress Dowager transferred the God Dynasty's power to Emperor De, she had been living in seclusion without asking about the state affairs anymore.

She believed that Emperor De would handle it well on his own.

If he really encountered trouble, she still had a trump card that she could use to save the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Hence, she had always been living peacefully in a rather stable state of mind.

But in the past few days, the rumors of the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race had become increasingly rampant. This news quietly spread throughout the Imperial Capital even though Emperor De had ordered that discussing this issue publicly was forbidden.

But defending against a flash flood was easier than defending against the mouths of the common people. In fact, preventing them from speaking up would just make them even more excited to speak about it.

"Emperor De. On the surface, the court officials and the commoners are not discussing this matter, but in private, even the maids and servants are talking about it. Do you think that it's possible for me to not know of this?" The Empress Dowager asked solemnly.

"Brother, the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race are indeed very powerful. They have already broken through into the Grotto-Heaven Realm and are considered to be some of the most powerful demons in this world. What are your plans?" Princess Yulin asked.

Emperor De opened his mouth, wanting to answer.

But the Empress Dowager interrupted.

"You are not allowed to give up even an inch of the land that your Grandpa and Father Emperor left behind for you. If you did such a thing, I will surely break your legs."

Emperor De smiled bitterly and replied,

"Mother, I won't give up even an inch of the Yuhua God Dynasty's land."

"There's no need to worry about it anymore. The Seven Great Sages are indeed powerful, but it's not like there's no one who can handle them in our Yuhua God Dynasty."

"Leave this matter to Mother to handle…"

"Just continue to do your job as the Emperor," The Empress Dowager said sternly.

She was going to use the trump card that Emperor Ming left behind.

She believed that the Yuhua God Dynasty was in grave danger.

She had to treat this threat seriously and reveal that trump card.

But Emperor De directly rejected her request and replied, "Mother, the news about the so-called Seven Great Sages is already spreading like wildfire, but we don't have to be afraid. I already have a solution, there's no need for you to worry."

The Empress Dowager and Princess Yulin were surprised by Emperor De's confidence.

"Brother, what are your chances of dealing with the Seven Great Sages whose cultivation bases are beyond the Human God Realm?" Princess Yulin asked curiously.

The Empress Dowager was also rather curious.

The Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race were powerful existences beyond the Human God Realm.

On the surface, no one in the entire Yuhua God Dynasty had exceeded the Human God Realm.

How could they possibly be a match for them?

Emperor De smiled mysteriously and said, "There's no need to worry. Someone has already taken responsibility for this matter."

"I'm the Emperor, I naturally have to be responsible for the people of the world and the foundation of my ancestors. You guys just have to watch over this matter, there's no need to worry about it anymore."

Princess Yulin stared meticulously at Emperor De.

Suddenly, she asked in surprise, "Did you go to find my Master?"

Princess Yulin remembered that Emperor De had taken the key to the Cold Palace from her.

The previous Emperor De looked very troubled.

But now, he was full of confidence and high-spirited.

He wasn't worried about the Seven Great Sages at all.

The contrast between the before and after was just too obvious.

Princess Yulin immediately understood the crux of the matter.

Emperor De smiled without saying anything.

"Is it really my Master?" Princess Yulin stood up in surprise.

"I want to go and find Master." Princess Yulin added anxiously.

"Wait." Emperor De stopped Princess Yulin and shook his head. "Don't disturb him."

Princess Yulin looked at Emperor De.

She was unwilling to let the matter rest so easily.

"Master has already seen you, but he doesn't even want to see me?"

Emperor De explained.

"He's indifferent to worldly affairs and likes peace and quiet. Don't disturb him."

Princess Yulin murmured, "In the past five years, I've been practicing my swordsmanship non-stop every day. I've already learned the sword techniques that Master had imparted to me. I want to show my improvement on them to Master."

Emperor De comforted her. "There will be a chance for that in the future."

Empress Dowager listened from the side and muttered in surprise, "You really found that mysterious master?"

"Mother, just the three of us shall know of this matter. There's no need to publicize it," Emperor De said softly.

"I know…"

"Powerhouses all like to be indifferent to fame and fortune. They don't want to expose themselves. Since you are confident about it, then I'm relieved. I'm saved from the headache and trouble." Empress Dowager was overjoyed.

She didn't have to use her trump card for now.

Moreover, Emperor De also had another powerhouse backing him right now and they also didn't have to worry about the Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race anymore.

This was simply solving many problems at once.

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed.

It was just that neither she nor Emperor De expected that both of their backing was the same person—Lin Jiufeng.

…

Outside the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty, a huge river existed.

The released Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling stood by the riverside and crazily absorbed the spiritual energy in the air.

The surging spiritual energy was then swallowed by him like a whale. Then, he exerted his strength and pressed the spiritual energy into his stomach, causing it to explode.

Moo!

The roar of the Heaven Raising Bull shook the mountains and rivers.

His roar resounded throughout the world.

The injuries that Lin Jiufeng had inflicted on him were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He transformed into his true form and stood by the riverside.

This was the roar of the Heaven Raising Bull from thousands of years ago, it was now echoing throughout the world.

Thousands of miles away, a flood dragon was flying through the clouds and mist in the sky.

Hearing the roar of the Heaven Raising Bull, it called out in excitement.

Roar!

This was the roar of the flood dragon. It shattered the white clouds within a thousand-mile radius and its roar itself was transmitted into the ears of the Heaven Raising Bull.

The Heaven Raising Bull stood in its original spot. It wagged its tail and waited quietly.

After a while, a flood dragon flew out from the clouds. It was huge with bumps on its head and black scales that were as tough as steel knives on its body.

Rumble!

It penetrated the clouds in the sky and its huge body dropped straight down.

He smashed into the vast river, splashing water hundreds of meters high.

In the very next moment, the water was split open and a huge flood dragon head emerged.

It stared at the Heaven Raising Bull that was tens of meters tall as it asked.

"Old Bull, when did you wake up?"

"Just now!" The Heaven Raising Bull replied in a muffled voice.

"Okay. Come with me, let's go to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty and look for that human emperor. Let them give up the territory that originally belonged to us and we will also ask him to compensate us!"

"They are just humans, we can easily manipulate them. We shall rebuild our strength and restore the terrifying reputation of the Monster Race." The Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao, announced loudly.

The confidence in his tone sure was contagious.

But the Heaven Raising Bull only shook its head and said, "Demon King Jiao, we can't go to the Imperial Capital!"

"What did you say?" Demon King Jiao looked at the Heaven Raising Bull in surprise.

Its lantern-like eyes stared at the Heaven Raising Bull.

Fury brewed inside.

"There's a very terrifying existence in the Imperial Capital…"

"Don't provoke him," the Heaven Raising Bull replied honestly.

"All this time, only others have been afraid of us—the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race. Since when have we been afraid of others?" Demon King Jiao retorted in anger.

His body suddenly rushed out of the water's surface as he raised his head in agitation.

"He's different," Heaven Raising Bull replied in a low voice.

"What's the difference? Is he the reincarnation of some terrifying big shot?" Demon King Jiao snorted coldly.

He levitated up in the air, his body was huge that it seemed to cover the sky itself.

His attitude remained arrogant despite the Heaven Raising Bull's persuasion.

"I won't harm you. If you really insist on going to the Imperial Capital, you will be in big trouble."

The Heaven Raising Bull advised once more.

"Old Bull, you've just come out. I reckon that you still don't understand the state of the world in this brand new era. But I don't blame you. You said that there's a terrifying existence in the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty?"

"I'll go and kill him right now…"

"I'll show you what true terror is!" Demon King Jiao's body shook and he was about to leave.

In the Imperial Capital thousands of miles away, Lin Jiufeng looked at the sky and sighed.

"Why must you force me to make a move?"
