World-Ending Demon Emperor
Chapter 2207 - 1081: Kneel! Lanling Proclaims Himself Emperor of the Moon
Lanling examined carefully once again.
Indeed, she was Zhi Yan. That gaze, that demeanor, that appearance—she was Zhi Yan through and through.
So uniquely beautiful, so cool, so quiet.
The first-generation master of Yao Xing, the supreme ruler of the Dragon Demon Temple, previously the supreme ruler of Dragon Demon Planet, and now the supreme ruler of the lunar civilization. Bulo is probably someone who doesn’t seem extraordinarily radiant but is actually capable of overshadowing anyone, the kind of person whose light eclipses others.
However, Zhi Yan was not overshadowed near Bulo.
The two gradually approached, entering everyone’s view.
Supreme ruler Bulo said to Lanling, "Your Majesty, you are too tall. It’s a bit tiring to speak while looking up."
Lanling reverted to a height of two meters, standing roughly ten meters apart from Bulo, yet his gaze kept falling on Zhi Yan’s face, while various memories emerged in his mind.
The first meeting with Zhi Yan, the first passionate encounter, Zhi Yan’s first kill, the second time she vanished for him.
"Your Majesty, you are not mistaken; she truly is... Zhi Yan," Bulo said. "You know, at that time, she did indeed vanish completely, her soul dispersed utterly. So resurrecting her was exceedingly difficult, even for me. It’s much harder than, say, you find a piece of amber with a mosquito inside that once drew a dinosaur’s blood, and you create a dinosaur using a little DNA. For a person, the most precious and difficult part is the soul and willpower, so the one standing before you is unmistakably Zhi Yan."
Lanling fixed his gaze on Zhi Yan’s face.
Zhi Yan was also looking at him, seemingly very focused, her gaze almost probing, as if trying to recall something.
She appeared so youthful, reminiscent of their first encounter.
Indeed, the situation felt just like when Suo Lun left Zhi Du and encountered Zhi Yan midway. At that time, Suo Lun stared at Zhi Yan for a long time, and Zhi Yan looked back, full of a touch of curiosity.
"Of course, many of her memories are lost, maybe even permanently gone," Bulo said. "Ultimately, her actions were very unwise, utterly discordant with her attributes as an Observer, yet she proceeded, making her somewhat an unqualified Observer. She suddenly lost her transcendent nature, becoming an ordinary woman, one who sacrificed her life for love and self-validation. Whereas an Observer should ideally be devoid of desires, joys, and sorrows."
Lanling’s gaze shifted from Zhi Yan to the face of supreme ruler Bulo.
This... truly is a perfect face.
Perfection is not necessarily breathtaking beauty but evokes closeness and deep trust. Like those compassionate faces depicted in many portraits.
Undistinguishable in gender, beautiful, gentle, kind, majestic, approachable, noble.
The supreme ruler, might be the closest person to divinity.
"Your Majesty, the Lunar Holy Palace folks have been wreaking havoc within this narrow space for far too long, which has made them forget reverence," Bulo said. "Their conduct is highly inappropriate. I had been gone for a very, very long time, but today their misconduct compelled me to appear."
Lanling smiled, then slightly bowed toward Bulo, "Emperor Bulo."
Supreme ruler Bulo bowed even lower, "Emperor Lanling!"
Then, Bulo said, "Standing out here to talk is a bit improper and mars Emperor Lanling’s dignity. Shall we step into the Supreme Council? After all, it is a house, and sometimes a house is like clothing, maintaining a degree of decorum."
Upon saying so, Bulo raised his hand!
Suddenly, a miracle occurred.
The Supreme Council building trodden into ruins by Lanling seemed to reverse in time, with every brick and tile flying skyward, restoring to its original state. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
From ruins, it once again became the complete Supreme Council building.
Following that, Bulo raised his hand again.
The previously destroyed streets, manor, sculptures, all reversed in time from ruins to perfect restoration.
Then, there was the massive lunar energy crust, torn apart by Lanling using six-star power and bombarded by thousands of warships and spacecraft, the huge fissure restored perfectly at Bulo’s raise of hand!
Finally...
A more astounding miracle emerged!
All the human army killed by Lanling and intelligent life, like powder gathering in mid-air to form complete humans, brought back to life.
Also, the two hundred thousand Star Clan (intelligent life) executed by Qingxuan’s order, all reconstituted into human bodies, all resurrected under Bulo’s hand.
The Void Bloodline Carriers killed by Lanling, over a hundred, all resurrected.
This is too breathtaking, too unbelievable.
That was genuine complete destruction, reduced to ashes, soul scattered.
On Dragon Demon Planet, Lanling couldn’t resurrect Suo Long, King Zibian, Duke Zhi Ting, and others.
And before them, the Supreme Overlord Bulo, with a mere wave of his hand, resurrected millions.
"You, Bloodline of the Void Carriers, dared to offend the great Emperor Lanling, thus your void bloodline was taken away, a punishment well deserved." Bulo addressed the more than a hundred resurrected Bloodline of the Void Carriers: "From now on, live the rest of your life as ordinary people."
Immediately, the hundred or so resurrected Bloodline of the Void Carriers knelt down and bowed.
The Supreme Overlord Bulo turned to Lanling and said: "Emperor Lanling, please!"
Lanling replied: "Bulo, please!"
Then, the two walked side by side into the grand hall of the Supreme Council.
The resurrected Zhi Yan, thirteen Temple Priests, and one hundred thirty-nine Moon Temple Priests followed behind them.
"Bang!"
Then, the doors of the Supreme Council closed!
...
The Supreme Overlord Bulo looked at Qingxuan, looked at the thirteen Temple Priests, and sneered: "What do you call Emperor Lanling with your lips?"
Immediately, Qingxuan lowered his head.
"You call him a monkey." Bulo said: "Such ignorance and arrogance. What is Lanling? He is the Chaos Emperor of the Dragon Demon Planet, the Plane Overlord, the master of Yao Xing. Your lunar civilization has developed for tens of thousands of years, and you think you are remarkable, think you can look down on the Dragon Demon Planet, think you are a superior civilization, high above? Do not forget, your home planet is always the Dragon Demon Planet, you are forever children of the Creator God. And Emperor Lanling, master of Yao Xing, is forever the messenger of the Creator God."
The entire hall fell silent!
Bulo said: "You think Emperor Lanling is a monkey, then I, the master of Yao Xing, am a monkey too. Apologies, esteemed sirs, civilized beings, are the two monkeys, myself and Emperor Lanling, unfit to share a room with you? After all, you are advanced, civilized life forms."
Immediately, the thirteen Temple Priests and one hundred thirty-nine Moon Temple Priests all knelt uniformly on the ground.
"We dare not!"
"But you do, you dare very much!" Bulo said: "How do you describe this behavior with one phrase? Looking down on people with the eyes of a dog!"
"We dare not!" The thirteen Temple Priests and one hundred thirty-nine Moon Temple Priests said in unison.
Bulo said: "I ask just one question, after countless years, does your ancient memory still recognize me as the Supreme Overlord?"
All Temple Priests and Moon Temple Priests said: "Greetings, Your Majesty, greetings, master!"
"No, no!" Bulo said: "I am neither your master, nor your emperor! Countless years ago, Yao Xing already left me, seeking another master. Thus, your master is this Emperor Lanling before you! He is not only the Chaos Emperor of the Dragon Demon Planet but also the ruler of humans, Demon Race, and Star Clan within lunar civilization!"
With these words spoken, all Moon Temple Priests were astounded, Qingxuan’s eyes revealed an entirely unbelievable look.
The Supreme Overlord Bulo ignored them and instead knelt on one knee before Lanling, saying: "Former master of Yao Xing, Bulo of the Dragon Demon Temple, greets Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
Lanling extended his hand, and the Supreme Overlord Bulo kissed Lanling’s ring.
"Rise!" Lanling said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bulo said.
Once again, after standing, the Supreme Overlord Bulo turned to the thirteen Temple Priests and one hundred thirty-nine Moon Temple Priests and said: "Why haven’t you knelt to bow and pledge your loyalty to your emperor?"
The hall was deathly silent, all Temple Priests and Moon Temple Priests, full of shock, looked at the Supreme Overlord Bulo, not a single one knelt to Lanling.
The Supreme Overlord Bulo drew his great sword, slowly saying: "Although I have been gone for tens of thousands of years, I am still a Thirteen-Star stronghold, with no one in the entire plane stronger than me. If you do not kneel and pledge loyalty, then you are disgraceful rebels. As a subject of His Majesty, I have the responsibility, duty, and right to exterminate you rebels entirely, just in time to give your void bloodline to truly loyal people. Your flamboyant lives over tens of thousands of years have already rotted your spirit and soul completely."
Finally, the Supreme Overlord Bulo approached the first Temple Priest of the Moon Temple, Void Yan, holding the great sword to his neck and saying: "Pledge loyalty to His Majesty, or be reduced to ashes."
Immediately, the first Temple Priest of the Moon Temple, Void Yan, knelt on the ground and said: "Minister pays respect to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
The Supreme Overlord Bulo held the great sword to the neck of the second leader, Qingxuan, coldly saying: "Either pledge loyalty, or be reduced to ashes!"
Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes flashed with painful light, saying: "Minister, pays respect to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
The Supreme Overlord Bulo’s gaze slowly swept across those around him.
Immediately, the thirteen Temple Priests and one hundred thirty-nine Moon Temple Priests all knelt on the ground, bowing and saying: "Minister pays respect to Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"
