Chapter 1823: Imperial Decree (1/2)

A scroll descended from the sky and landed right on Southern Sun’s hands. Everyone watched with bated breath, including the Jilin ancestors as well. The sudden decree from their Progenitor was truly shocking.

“Your disciple respectfully bids farewell, master.” After accepting the decree, Southern Sun ceremoniously kowtowed three times.

Despite being an imperious High Lord in the present, Southern Sun never forgot about the kindness and guidance Jilin had given him.

The strands of imperial aura finally receded from the clan and slowly dispersed. It meant that the monarch had gone into hiding again, no longer in the mundane realm.

Southern Sun took a deep breath and reverentially opened the scroll, revealing a wondrous light and power inside. This was clearly the supreme will of a monarch.

All eyes were on Southern Sun, wis.h.i.+ng to know the content of the scroll. There must have been reasons for the sudden scroll and the chosen messenger.

Everyone paid attention to each movement from Southern Sun and time seemed to be pa.s.sing by so slowly. Each minute lasted for as long as a generation.

After reading the decree, the High G.o.d a.s.sumed a dignified and solemn expression.

This made the crowd even more curious. Just what the h.e.l.l was written on this decree?

In the end, the High G.o.d carefully rolled the scroll up again and tidied up his attire. He floated up to Li Qiye's throne and prostrated respectfully: ”This lowly G.o.d was a frog under the well, unable to recognize Your Excellency's arrival, unaware of the immensity of the heaven and earth. I gladly accept your punishment!”

All were stunned by this scene with jaws dropping to the ground. No one could close their mouth.

This was a High G.o.d kneeling so respectfully in front of Li Qiye. Some ancestors rubbed their eyes and thought that they were only seeing things.

Li Qiye gently nodded in response: ”Ignorance is not a sin, I pardon you.” He waved his sleeve afterward.

After being granted forgiveness, Southern Sun finally stood up with piety in his eyes.

The crowd was still in disbelief. Earlier just now, Southern Sun wanted to teach Li Qiye a lesson so his s.h.i.+ft in att.i.tude only invoked further curiosity about the content of Immortal Monarch Jilin's scroll.

For Southern Sun, this sudden s.h.i.+ft wasn't shameful at all because he was facing an overlord of the tenth world who once fought against the emperors of the three races. Moreover, this was someone who worked for the hundred races and obtained peerless merits. Just this alone was enough for the High G.o.d to wors.h.i.+p him.

”I shall stay at the Jilin Clan for the next few days.” Li Qiye spoke with a dignified tone towards Jilin Guanlu.

”Young n.o.ble, no, Your Excellency, your presence is our honor.” Guanlu quickly responded.

Li Qiye nodded and got down from his imperial throne. Southern Sun quickly said: ”This lowly G.o.d will entertain you for the next few days in my master's stead, just let me know if you require anything, Your Excellency.”

Li Qiye accepted: ”I shall accept Immortal Monarch Jilin's goodwill and shall meet him later.”

The monarch wasn't in a position to come into being so he sent down this decree, telling his pseudo-disciple to handle the reception.

Southern Sun didn't speak twice and supported Li Qiye's arm before leading the way. [1]

They didn't get far because Li Qiye turned around and told Guanlu: ”Tell the geezers from your clan that I want to see that thing!”

”Absolutely.” Guanlu hurriedly replied: ”We will arrange it, Your Excellency.” He didn't dare to refuse at this moment.

Li Qiye finally left with Southern Sun leading the way. Guanlu breathed a sigh of relief... A supreme overlord, an ancient existence on the same level as their progenitor.
