Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1874

Chapter 1874: 1874

Jiang Chen took in the reactions of everyone around him . He had expected that this piece of news would deliver a shock to the human domain .

He saw the disappointment in the great emperors’ faces, especially those who hadn’t reached the peak of their realm . “For those who aren’t quite there yet, there’s no need to be sad,” he smiled faintly . “As long as I have the materials, I can make the Taiyi Skymender Pill en masse anytime . You can come get one from me when you do reach peak great emperor . ”

All the great emperors were overjoyed at this, their expressions extending into wide grins .

“Not just you, but your house, clan, faction, sect – whatever . As long as someone reaches peak great emperor and has been approved, they will have the right to receive a pill as well . ”

“However,” Jiang Chen’s tone shifted, “I’m not giving the pills away for free . All of you here today, remember this: if you take one of these pills, that means you have the ability to break through to empyrean realm . In fact, you will have a ninety percent chance of succeeding . With great power comes great responsibility . I hope you’re mindful of the fact that you will henceforth become a pillar of humanity and must fight on its behalf . You cannot shirk your duties, no matter when they might call upon you . If you can’t accept this, you should leave immediately . ”

Jiang Chen’s tone was cool . “Maybe you’re feeling lucky . Maybe you think you can fool me later on by not doing your best . To that, I can only say this: if you want to be a fence-sitter, you’ll only die faster . No one can preserve themselves in a demonic invasion .

“Your petty trickery and schemes will become meaningless . Demons have never needed human traitors as allies, only slaves and puppets . Unless you are willing to be pressed into that kind of service, your only choice is to shoulder the burden of humanity and fight . ” His speech was quite grave .

Everyone sobered up . They could tell that Jiang Chen was far from joking .

“I’ll take a pill then,” Coiling Dragon chuckled .

“My hatred of the demons is unending,” Ji San grinned easily . “I can take a Taiyi Skymender Pill as well . ”

As Jiang Chen’s staunchest allies, they’d stayed by his side through thick and thin . No one could doubt their loyalty .

“I’ve been loyal to Veluriyam Capital and the human race all my life . I swear that I will never betray humanity or compromise with the demons!” Emperor Void volunteered .

Many followed his lead . They were all smart enough to know that they had no other choice in the face of the oncoming invasion .

Enslavement by demons would be something that bound them for perpetuity . There was no reason for them to join the demons . Therefore, none of them hesitated at all to make their guarantees .

Jiang Chen accepted one and all . He gave out as many Taiyi Skymender Pills as were required . He’d never thought of keeping them to himself . One of the most urgent things upon his return was to distribute these pills .

The peak great emperors who received these pills were uniformly exuberant . The value of the pill far exceeded their expectations .

Each pill was an opportunity for someone to ascend to empyrean realm . It was an opportunity that these people probably wouldn’t have gotten naturally for the rest of their lives .

“Young lord Jiang Chen, words can’t describe how grateful we are . You’ve toiled so much for the benefit of the human race . We would be craven curs to betray your trust . ”

“Indeed . We will use our strength for humanity’s sake as long as we live . ”

“We shall follow your orders to our last breath!”

These people wanted to posture a little after receiving the Taiyi Skymender Pills . More to the point, their expressions were largely genuine .

Even Emperor Petalpluck was deeply moved after obtaining a Taiyi Skymender Pill . He had always been rather ambiguous before, much like a fence-sitter .

Because of that, he had been sidelined significantly over the years . Getting this amazing chance to break through to empyrean realm was nothing less than serendipity .

Petalpluck felt mildly embarrassed when he considered his attitude from before .

Regardless of how cold-blooded he may have been, he had to admit that Jiang Chen was more magnanimous than he could ever comprehend . The young man was someone that could only be looked up to .

It was a blessing for Veluriyam Capital to be ruled by one such as this . If Emperor Shura had won the ultimate authority, what would’ve happened then?

There were quite a few who thought the same way . Undoubtedly, they had a great many exclamatory remarks . The years that Jiang Chen had ruled in Veluriyam had changed this place drastically .

They hadn’t even dared think about an opportunity to achieve empyrean realm before, and yet these pills were so numerous and widespread now .

What did that mean? It meant that Jiang Chen didn’t consider these pills very valuable at all .

He had more than enough clout and wealth to easily make gifts of these valuable pills . In other words, he had risen higher than any cultivator in the human domain .

Jiang Chen wasn’t simply the lord of Veluriyam Capital, but the human domain as well . Who could threaten to dwarf him in his realm?

No one whatsoever!

Even the hermit empyrean experts couldn’t shake his position . Jiang Chen was so youthful, and yet he was about to break through to sixth level empyrean .

This prospect alone excited his audience . A leader like this gave them hope for victory in the oncoming invasion .

Emperor Sabledeep received a Taiyi Skymender Pill as well . He was as overcome as Petalpluck had been . He had been tricked into the Order of the Wind and Cloud by a promise of an empyrean opportunity from its late head, but Jiang Chen was the one to deliver, all these years later!

“Young lord Jiang Chen, I hear that a great formation served to crush the demons’ fortunes in the ancient demon-sealing war . Is there a possibility that this formation may be repurposed for our use?”
