[You’ve obtained 1x Human Puppet Summoning Scroll.]
...
Scrolling from top to bottom, all of them were Puppet Summoning Scrolls and not a single fragment was dropped...
Li Yi was rendered speechless. Fortunately, there nobody was around to witness this awkward scene. However, this was 50-man group dungeon in Heroic Mode, yet only shitty scrolls were dropped. This was too much!
Achieving the Tomb of Kings’ first kill had boosted Li Yi’s EXP by a huge margin. Though it could not compare to the Dwelling of the Undead and the Heart of Earth Element, he would surely level up in three to five days’ time.
Li Yi took out the Emperor Sword for a look.
The twenty-five Emperor Imprints on the blade were glowing. The two domineering words, Bow Down became more prominent with rainbow glow flashing from them.
There was an adjustment to the attributes on Emperor Sword. It was no longer a bunch of question marks but replaced with words in the introduction section.
[Emperor Sword (Legendary Item)]
[Equipment requirement: ?]
[ATK: 0]
[DEF: 0]
[WIL: 0]
{END: 0]
[AGI: 0]
[ATK SPD: 5 seconds]
[Special Effect: ???]
[Special Skill: ???]
[Note: This a divine sword bestowed by the Pantheon. It has unlimited energy and wielding this sword will grant you the throne!]
...
It was a strange sword with no attributes. Equipping the weapon, Li Yi held it in his hand, but it lowered his SPD and ATK SPD by 50%.
This was the punishment for equipping a weapon that did not suit his class.
Could the equipment condition be to become an Emperor?
Li Yi caressed the blade and it took some time before he quit the dungeon.
With all twenty-five Emperor Imprints in the bag, he should now ascend the Emperor throne.
With the Shangri-La project up and running, Wang Enterprise had invested a large sum of funds into it. It was the perfect moment to strike while they were still awaiting development.
Li Yi would not wait a second longer at the thought of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.
Leaving the Tomb of Kings dungeon, Li Yi headed straight to the most mysterious location of the Ancient Kings Series Dungeon, the Emperor’s Capital.
Passing through the dungeons, Li Yi did not advance far when he came across a black teleportation door. Only a player holding an Emperor Sword was permitted entrance.
Li Yi stepped into the dark teleportation door as a System Notification echoed in his ear.
[You’ve have entered the Emperor’s Capital’s Ancient Ruins...]
He was greeted by torn walls, shattered rocks and rickety stone pillars with bones scattered everywhere. Staring into a distance, it was a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
This was the Emperor of the Continent’s Basilica granted by the Pantheon. It was the supreme power center of the Pantheon Continent!
Li Yi did not know what happened here because the player who obtained Emperorship in his past life never published a video related to it.
Everything here was up to him to find out.
Kch! Kch! Kch! Kch!
Li Yi had not traveled far when he saw a group of armored warriors guarding the Basilica. In a neat formation, they spun the spears in their hands as they paraded back and forth.
This was a group of armored knights without any physical body. They were the Emperor’s most faithful guards before their death. Their souls clung onto the armor after death, ready to fight for the Emperor’s cause.
Li Yi retrieved his Divine Looking Glass to check on these armored knight’s level. The result left a frown on his face.
[Emperor’s Knight]
[Level: 200]
[HP: 20000000]
[Territory: Absolute Defense]
[Skill: Unlimited Ranged Charge]
The HP of the Emperor’s Knights was not much at 20 million, but the problem lay in the fact they were could use the Territory Skill, Absolute Defense. This skill’s potential for damage reduction would bring up the HP of the Emperor’s Knights to hundreds of millions.
After much thought, Li Yi activated God Mode to dash into the Basilica from the sky. However, the moment he took flight, the Emperor’s Knights immediately Charged at him.
The Emperor’s Knights did not have wings but thanks to Unlimited Ranged Charge’s ability, they were able to Charge at Li Yi even though he was in the air.
Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!
With more than a hundred Emperor’s Knights charging in unison, Li Yi dropped dead in an instant even though he had released his Territory Barrier to defend.
These armored monsters were not only high in DEF, but their ATK was also equally impressive.
One hit took away over 300 thousand HP!
Kch! Kch! Kch! Kch! Kch!
Wiping out Li Yi, the Emperor’s Knights returned to base and aligned neatly in formation as they marched towards the Basilica.
Li Yi waited until the Emperor’s Knights had gone far away before using his Sacramental Stone’s skill to revive at full health and stats.
Gazing from afar at the hundred over Emperor’s Knights, Li Yi’s brows were tied in a knot.
He had fully unleashed his Territory while in the air, yet it did not affect their speed one bit.
The Emperor’s Knights were at Level 200 while he was only at Level 176. With the gap between them too far apart, his Territory proved to be futile in this case.
Li Yi summoned Alleria and Violent Bear King to be the first line of defense while he hid behind them to observe.
Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!
With a hundred over Emperor’s Knights charging, Violent Bear King collapsed. Alleria held up for seven seconds before she too died from the encirclement.
The normal method was not the way to go.
That was not right.
Li Yi suddenly saw the light. He should not use brute force on these Emperor’s Knights.
A Charge inflicted at least 300 thousand in damage and was powerful enough to instantly kill players. As only the wielder of the Emperor Sword had the right to enter, how would one person face off against over a hundred freaky knights?
Giving it some thought, Li Yi took out the Emperor Sword and equipped it. He took large strides towards the Emperor’s Knights with his head held high.
Kch cha! Kch cha! Kch cha!
Kch cha! Kch cha! Kch cha!
All the Emperor’s Knights kneeled uniformly, bowing to the Emperor Sword.
Watching as the scene unfolded before him, Li Yi let out a long sigh of relief. His face lit up with happiness.
So, the two words on Emperor Sword had its own implied meaning.
With the Emperor Sword in hand, the group of Emperor’s Knights regarded the wielder as the Emperor and showed no signs of obstruction. When Li Yi held the sword in his hands, their name changed from red to green, becoming an ally.
Li Yi took steady steps as he passed through these Emperor’s Knights into the Basilica.
In contrast to the outside, it was much more presentable inside the Basilica. There were no traces of destruction anywhere. On both sides of the pathway were two rows of guards with a sword in one arm and shield with the other. Each of them was clad in shimmering armor. As Li Yi walked by them, they bowed in greeting, leaving Li Yi feeling invigoration.
Was this a right only the Emperor of the Continent would possess?
Could he order this group of Emperor’s Knights?
A thought struck Li Yi. He attempted to order an Emperor’s Knight to stand up, but the respondent remained on its knees. It did not seem to understand his orders.
Fixating his gaze on the hall, saw an exquisite golden chair sculptured traditional design. This was the Emperor’s Throne from the legends. If a wielder of the Emperor Sword sat on it, it would make them the Emperor of the Continent.
Li Yi took one step at a time towards the Emperor’s Throne. It was not as though he did not want to go faster but equipping the Emperor Sword has halved his speed.
As Li Yi drew near the Emperor’s Throne, a golden ray descended from above and landed before him.
It was a beautiful woman with a long mane and black clothing, adorned with a golden crown. Li Yi... recognized her.
She was the woman of the Ruler of Gods, the God-queen, Carulla!
A god!
“Young Emperor, I am the God-queen, Carulla. The Emperor Sword you hold in your hands is the symbol of supreme authority in this world that I bestow. You must thank me and bow down to me.”
Different from the Carulla disguised as a mortal in the Celestial Capital, this Carulla was the God-queen in the flesh. Li Yi lost control of his body the moment she appeared.
This was the pressing aura of a god, the strength of Authority!
Bow?
Li Yi rolled his eyes at her and ignored her.
The God-queen, Carulla’s expression turned sour at Li Yi’s appearance. She raised her arm, preparing to punish Li Yi but soon placed her arm back after a quick thought.
“It’s your first time meeting me, it is excusable that you do not comprehend a god’s greatness.” Carulla then changed the topic, “Young Emperor, do you know what it means to possess the Emperor Sword?”
Li Yi did not speak as he was prepared to be a good listener. It was best to remain quiet when faced with a nagging NPC.
“The Emperor Sword is a divine weapon I granted. With this sword, you possess supreme power over this world. With this sword, you’ll become the spokesman of the gods in the mortal world. You have to publicize the glory of gods and lead the fools of this world in worshiping the gods.”
The gods in King of Pantheon were a nuisance. Li Yi had been a witness to this in his past life.
The God-queen, Carulla was jabbering incessantly, going on about the benefits of becoming the Emperor of the Continent. Of course, she emphasized repeatedly and even ordered Li Yi to spread the word of the gods.
“You must instill fear of the gods into the foolish humans within a year. If anyone questions the order of the gods, you have the right to kill them all.”
Li Yi suddenly asked, “What if I’m unable to do so within a year?”
Carulla coldly smirked. “I will choose another god-fearing candidate to replace you.”
Li Yi finally fathomed.
The rule of the Emperor’s Throne was on a yearly basis. If the God-queen’s request was not fulfilled within a year, the emperorship would be handed to someone else.
The reason behind Ghostly Walker’s abdication made sense now. The Pantheon must have pulled the strings behind the scenes.
Li Yi rubbed his nose. “What do I get from helping you?”
Carulla’s voice turned cold, “Young Emperor, as the most loyal spokesperson in this world to the gods, you should unconditionally execute the mission granted to you by the gods!”
Noticing no reaction from Li Yi, Carulla paused in reflection before adding, “If you are able to execute the orders. I will grant you eternal life and make you a god!”
“No way!” Li Yi gave a simple answer.
Carulla’s face turned grim. She raised her fair hand to slice Li Yi with divine light.
“Foolish mortal, you don’t deserve to be a servant of the gods!”
