If the emperor lived, the pearl lived; if the emperor died, the pearl died… if the words of the female guard were reliable, not only was the Heavenly Emperor still living, but was also living very well…

“Is it possible that the Heavenly Emperor will really come back and rebuild the Heavenly City?” Song Shuhang muttered to himself.

In addition… after returning, the Heavenly Emperor would become even stronger than before and surpass everything and everyone?

The Heavenly Emperor was one of the strongest ‘Immortals’. According to the timeline, the Heavenly Emperor either belonged to the same era as the Scholarly Sage… or was one of the Immortals that emerged shortly after the era of the Scholarly Sage.

Once the construction of the ‘Heavenly City’ had been completed, the Heavenly Emperor should have reached the same level of strength as the ultra-amazing Sage of the scholarly faction. Therefore, if the Heavenly Emperor became even stronger than before… wouldn’t they become the new Wielder of the Will?

“That’s a given. After the emperor returns, the Heavenly City will be rebuilt. Great Master of the Divine Beast Department… this is also the reason I let you off even if you dared to barge into the Jade Lake forbidden area just now. If you stay alive, you can still make yourself useful and serve the emperor after the latter returns and starts to rebuild the Heavenly City!” the silver-armored female guard said solemnly.

Song Shuhang forced a smile. He wasn’t even a disciple of the Divine Beast Department, and he had no interest in serving the Heavenly Emperor.

The silver-armored female guard seemed to have seen through Song Shuhang’s intentions. Therefore, she coldly snorted and joined both her hands, preparing to put away the precious ‘Imperial Pearl’.

But right at this time, something unexpected happened… a large amount of the life force that was emanating from the Imperial Pearl suddenly disappeared.

The life force was dissipating at a very fast pace!

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the life force in the Imperial Pearl had disappeared.

The silver-armored female guard was shocked, and the guards behind her were likewise shocked.

The silver-armored female guard could only absent-mindedly watch the ‘Imperial Pearl’ in her hands as the life force inside was quickly dissipating.

“How is this possible, how is this possible…” the female guard muttered to herself.

The Imperial Pearl represented the Heavenly Emperor. Now that a large part of the life force inside the Imperial Pearl had disappeared, it meant that a large part of the life force of the Heavenly Emperor had likewise withered.

Such a strong aura of life was emanating from the pearl just a moment ago… as such, why did things suddenly take this turn?

Was it possible that someone had found the Heavenly Emperor and had managed to severely injure them—or even kill them—within this short period of time?

“Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible!” the silver-armored female guard roared in a frenzy.

Just as she was crazily shouting, all the remaining life force in the ‘Imperial Pearl’ disappeared.

The Imperial Pearl had now turned into a very ordinary pearl, dim and gloomy.

In the next moment…

“Crack, crack, crack~”

The Imperial Pearl broke.

It thoroughly broke, turning into fine powder.

If the emperor lived, the pearl lived; if the emperor died, the pearl died. Now, the Imperial Pearl had turned into powder… did it mean that the Heavenly Emperor had died?

“AAAAAAH!!!” the silver-armored female guard shrieked as if she had gone crazy. Her cry was full of sorrow, desperation, and agony.

She wasn’t the only one… all the female guards behind her also started screaming. They held their heads in their hands and knelt in the dried up Jade Lake. Some had even started to roll in desperation at the bottom of the lake.

This Imperial Pearl had given all the female guards of the Jade Lake the strength to persevere up until now, to the point that it had turned into their only belief.

They firmly believed that the owner of the Imperial Pearl, the Heavenly Emperor, would one day return and collect all the scattered fragments of the Heavenly City, building a new and even more powerful Heavenly City!

But little did they expect that all the life force within the Imperial Pearl would suddenly dissipate, with the pearl breaking and the Heavenly Emperor dying just like that…

This turn of events had been too sudden.
