Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 451: A New Journey Begins

Time passed as swiftly as a flushing toilet, and a month went by.

Netherworld City.

In the span of a month, the city had already returned to its original appearance, but the Dao Emperor battle from a month ago still left them unable to emerge from the shadows, each recollection continuing to invoke fear and palpitations.

In a beautiful room within the tall building of the Great Emperor of the Netherworld, a handsome man lay on a soft bed, his eyelashes trembling slightly, but he suddenly sat up: "Xiao Die!"

After observing his surroundings, Chen Lan was momentarily stunned, his memories gradually returning, his fists clenched tightly, teeth gritted, murder intent spreading: "Demon Emperor, just wait, I will charge into the Demon Realm and personally bring you to justice!"

After speaking, he touched his chest, introspected his heart, and found that the stones on the surface of the Demon Heart were gone, transforming into a pitch-black heart that didn’t beat.

He remembered that when he saw Xiao Die die before him that day, endless anger surged within, fully unleashing the Demon Heart, an unprecedented power coursing through his body, making him a Dao Emperor and bestowing upon him multiple ultimate powers of the Great Dao.

However, that power did not belong to him and could only be used briefly. If given more time, he truly could have killed the Demon Emperor.

Despite losing that terrifying power, Chen Lan did not feel disappointed; instead, he yearned for it even more. He must quickly reach the Dao Emperor level to avenge Xiao Die and to avenge Li Chunqiu!

At this moment, the Demon God Sword flew out from his Dantian, danced in front of him, bouncing around with great joy.

Seeing this, Chen Lan smiled, knowing the Demon God Sword was happy to see him awake. He grasped the Demon God Sword, gently stroking the blade: "Xiao Die, rest assured, I will find a way to resurrect you. If this world doesn’t have the answer, I’ll search in other worlds!"

Perhaps hearing him, the Demon God Sword slightly moved its blade.

At this moment, the door opened and Netherworld walked in, smiling joyfully upon seeing Chen Lan awake, "Lord, you’re awake!"

Looking at the respectful Netherworld before him, Chen Lan’s mind recalled some memories of the first world—the memories brought by the Demon Heart, but only a few.

"Little Netherworld, thank you." Chen Lan said with a faint smile.

"Lord, you humor me. It’s my honor to assist you." Netherworld said, overwhelmed with surprise.

"Where’s Peach Blossom?"

"Peach Blossom Fairy had matters to attend to, so she entrusted me to look after you."

"Alright." Chen Lan nodded. His injuries were nearly healed; it was time to leave.

"By the way, how long was I unconscious?"

"A month."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan was slightly stunned, furrowing his brows, not expecting to have been unconscious for so long, needing to quickly set off for the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area.

"Lord, are you leaving?"

"Yes, I have more important matters to attend to."

"This..." Netherworld’s eyes wavered, bewildering Chen Lan, prompting him to ask curiously, "What’s wrong?"

"Alas, Lord, you may not know, but during your coma, a major incident occurred, and now countless people are searching for you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan’s pupils contracted, perhaps the news of his ascension to the upper realm had reached others?

This was not ideal, as the eight Holy Lands plus the Ye Family might come, along with the Celestial Court; with his current strength, he couldn’t face those people, and he needed to retrieve his Dao body swiftly.

"Tell me in detail."

"Your Magical Treasure was ranked first on the Supreme Treasure List by the Zhitian Pavilion, now countless people desire your treasure, including the eight Holy Lands and those Wangu Clans."

Having said this, Netherworld retrieved a token from his Storage Ring and, with a wave of his hand, a virtual image was projected in mid-air, displaying three large characters [Supreme Treasure List].

With a thought from Netherworld, more words floated out, accompanied by the sound of the Great Dao.

"The Supreme Treasure List, a treasure ranking list released annually by the Zhitian Pavilion, has continued for half a million years. The treasures on the list are the strongest currently, and obtaining them could grant dominion over the world!"

Soon after, the treasure ranked one hundred appeared—a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Seeing this, Chen Lan was slightly stunned, thinking it was similar to the ranking systems in games, surprised that the Desolate Celestial Realm had such a thing.

Soon, the first place appeared.

"First place, Flame Thunder Spear, surpassing the Chaos Supreme Treasure, its power unknown."

Following that, even a projection of the Flame Thunder Spear appeared, letting everyone know what the Flame Thunder Spear looked like.

Chen Lan’s eyes narrowed; this Zhitian Pavilion is practically causing trouble. If others found out the Flame Thunder Spear was with him, they’d surely come searching.

"No worries, they don’t know what I look like nor do they know the Flame Thunder Spear is with me." Chen Lan said calmly, not overly concerned.

"Lord, you don’t know, this Zhitian Pavilion releases this list to make money. For the right price, they would expose you, appearing as an information organization serving people, yet have harmed countless."

Hearing this, Chen Lan felt murder intent spreading out; this Zhitian Pavilion was indeed not virtuous.

But he was not afraid; if anyone dared to come, he’d simply kill them.

"Netherworld, the people from Blue Star will entrust themselves to the Netherworld, please look after them for me."

"Rest assured, Lord, as long as I’m here, they won’t suffer any harm." Netherworld said earnestly.

Chen Lan nodded slightly, planning to visit Luo Tao and them, and then leave the Netherworld. As for the location of the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area, he already knew it, for the Demon Heart had told him.

...

Underworld.

In a month, the personnel in the Underworld had increased compared to before, after all, many died a month ago, so the numbers quickly grew.

Luo Tao and others had already established a firm foothold in the Underworld, with Li Guolong temporarily acting as the Lord of the Underworld, managing well.

Chen Lan flashed back to the Underworld, quickly finding Luo Tao cultivating in his room. The Spiritual Qi here was much stronger than Blue Star’s, allowing Luo Tao’s realm to progress rapidly, now at the perfected Celestial Immortal Realm, only a step away from becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Without knowing, one would not have imagined Luo Tao was just in Body Refining a few months ago.

Luo Tao sensed someone arriving and opened his eyes to see Chen Lan smiling at him, "Brother Lan!"

Luo Tao was extremely surprised, not having seen Chen Lan for a month, fearing something had happened to him. Seeing him safe and sound here was better than anything.

"Looks like your cultivation has improved during this time." Chen Lan said with a faint smile.

"Haha, just okay, just want to grow quickly to help you." Luo Tao said sincerely. Having learned that Chen Lan was Xiao Yao Celestial Venerable, he understood that many past events were Chen Lan’s doing. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Having such a brother helping, Luo Tao felt fortunate yet ashamed for being unable to assist Chen Lan.

"Good, worthy of being my son."

"Get lost." Luo Tao instinctively retorted but then realized his rudeness, a flash of panic in his eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Lan slightly furrowed his brows and said with a gentle smile, "I don’t need you to grow in any particular way, just keep treating me as your brother."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tao was stunned, then smiled as he looked at Chen Lan, nodding, "If you truly regard me as a brother, please come back alive. I don’t want to lose a brother-in-law."

"Haha, get lost, you’re still thinking about me being your brother-in-law." Chen Lan laughed.

"Alright, if I get married, you’ll be the best man, and that will make me look good."

"We’ll see about that; I must arrange for your parents to urge you to get married, so you don’t bother me." Chen Lan joked.

"Alright, when I do get married, you better be the best man; it will give me face."

"We’ll see, I’ll definitely ask your parents to hurry up, so you don’t keep nagging me." Chen Lan retorted playfully.

Suddenly, Luo Tao hugged Chen Lan tightly, saying sincerely, "If you truly regard me as a brother, you must come back alive; I don’t want to lose a brother-in-law."

"Haha, get out of here, you’re still thinking about me as a brother-in-law." Chen Lan laughed, pushing him away jokingly.

Underworld.

In a month, the number of personnel in the Underworld had increased significantly compared to before; after all, many people died a month ago, so the numbers quickly went up.

Luo Tao and others have established a firm foothold in the Underworld, with Li Guolong temporarily serving as Lord of the Underworld, managing everything quite well.

Chen Lan flashed back to the Netherworld, to check on Luo Tao and others before leaving for the Netherworld. As for the location of the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area, he already knew, as the Demon Heart had revealed it to him.
